Chapter 279 Collapse at the Touch of a Touch

By the afternoon, five hundred soldiers climbed up the steep hills and successfully occupied the first goat settlement.

During this period, they gathered several times, but were all dispersed by the fire pots thrown by the two griffin knights.

After occupying the hills, Simon asked Aire to continue to lead the army to advance slowly.

The griffin knights flew back to the camp to replenish the fire pots.

In the goat camp, an armored goat with huge curved horns was roaring constantly.

"Gumotila! We can't retreat anymore! If we retreat again, we will have no place to stand!

We must gather all our strength! Drive the human race out. Only by driving them out can there be a possibility of negotiation!

Don't be afraid of sacrifice! Form a military formation!"

"If we gather together, those fires will burn us to death!

We must disperse! In units of hundreds, disperse to the hills and resist!"

The two goat leaders obviously had a disagreement.

"Fools! Our hundred-man team may not be able to beat their ten-man team!"

"We don't have any advantage on flat ground!" The goatmen leaders roared at each other.

"Stop arguing! Since you have different opinions, take your tribes to fight separately.

The human army is almost here!" An elderly goatman who looked like a priest anxiously advised.

"Okay! Take care!"

Gumotila glanced at him, nodded, and then turned and left, and a group of goatmen followed him.

"Coward!!

...

High priest, take the women, children and some warriors to hide in the Cave of Death, and I will take my brothers to fight again.

Try to drive those human troops out of the tribe. If it doesn't work, you can surrender with those ancestral things.

If they don't want to, destroy them all!" said the goatman leader with a firm look.

"I know." The old high priest nodded, his vertical pupils slightly moist.

Then, it led a few young and strong soldiers along the hills and headed north.

"Gather! Line up! Kill the enemy!!!"

The sturdy leader of the goatmen turned around, raised his battle axe, and shouted.

"Kill!" The goatmen soldiers shouted loudly and gathered in the valley.

They looked excited, but in fact there were less than two thousand of them.

These goatmen soldiers were undoubtedly the elite among them. Most of them wore leather armor, carried kite-shaped half-body shields, and held spears.

There were also some archers among them, but the bows and arrows they held were of poor quality, as if they were still in the Neolithic Age.

"My Lord Earl, the goatmen are finally going to fight head-on.

Should we throw fire pots to disrupt their formation?" The griffin knight who was guarding Simon said.

"No, let Aire defeat them with his troops."

Simon stood on the top of the hill, looking at the scene below, and smiled faintly.

More than ten minutes later, the goatmen lined up their army in the valley. It was square and interesting.

"If the goatmen know this, they can defeat the dog-headed men if they fight as an army. The jackals should not be able to do anything to them.

But their tribe doesn't seem to be very prosperous..." Simon thought with some doubts in his heart.

At this time, Aire also organized his army to go up and confront the goatmen's army, about a hundred meters away.

They were in a slightly lower position, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of terrain.

But in other aspects, they were completely crushing.

"Shoot!" Aire raised his sword and shouted.

"Hah!"

The hundreds of longbowmen in the middle of the team immediately bent their bows and arrows, and after five or six seconds, they shot a round of arrows.

Swish, swish, swish...

"Guard!" The goatmen leader shouted.

The enemy soldiers responded immediately, most of them raised their shields, but it was a little messy.

At the same time, three or four meters above the enemy's formation, several light blue shields appeared, blocking most of the arrows.

Some of the remaining ones drilled through the gaps between the shields, but most of them were blocked by shields.

"This trick again, there are still many priests among the goatmen." Simon glanced at the griffin knight beside him and smiled faintly.

This race seems to have a good affinity for magic.

"They are just struggling to survive." The knight responded with a smile.

While speaking, Aire had ordered the soldiers to launch six rounds of arrow rain.

But because of the guardian magic of the goatmen, most of them were blocked, and the damage caused was very limited.

"Push forward with your hands! Sword and shield soldiers, pay attention to the two wings!" Aire was ready to fight directly in close combat, and didn't want to do any fancy moves.

"Kill!" Thousands of soldiers shouted slogans and approached the goatmen slowly.

"Shoot!"

The goatmen also shot arrows, but the arrowheads were mostly flint, and the force was soft. Basically, they were blocked by shields and had no practical effect.

After a while, the front rows of the two armies met, and the spears stabbed back and forth.

As soon as they fought, the gap was immediately apparent. Soldiers of the goatmen kept falling down with blood spurting out, while only a few of the human soldiers were injured.

Even if a spear happened to pass through the gap in the shield, it could not penetrate the armor of the human.

If they were lucky, they could cause some damage to the weak parts of the armor such as the arms or calves, but most of them were in vain.

Their weapons were of very poor quality. Only some of them were cast iron spearheads with many impurities, and even a small part of them were made of stone.

After fighting for seven or eight minutes, the goatmen could not stand it anymore with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The soldiers in the front row retreated unconsciously until they were stabbed and fell to the ground, and then it was the turn of the next row.

After hundreds of goatmen soldiers fell in a pool of blood, their array could no longer be maintained, and the first escapee appeared.

After that, the army was defeated like a mountain, and all the Wuyangyang people fled towards the back, and many of them were trampled to death by their own clansmen.

"Stop!! Behind you are your parents, wives and children! Where can you escape to!?

Ancestral Palace Guard! Follow me! Kill the enemy! ! "

The Goatman leader shouted sadly and led a small group of Goatman soldiers wearing various kinds of iron armor to charge.

But the defeated troops had already blocked their way forward, and he gritted his teeth and hacked to death several deserters.

But it didn't help at all, the soldiers had already been frightened to death.

"Escape to higher ground first!"

When the goatman commander saw this, he could only roar in grief and anger, and then he was carried back to the steep hills.

At this time, they had just calmed down from the shock and went to watch the movements of the human army. The remaining soldiers were already five or six hundred meters away from them, so they were safe for the time being.

Airey led the army to slowly approach, and the formation of the soldiers was already relatively scattered.

From time to time, someone stabbed the injured goatmen with their spears and sent them on their last journey.

Some of the slightly injured ones would be captured and sent out for mining.

"Legion Commander, the Earl may be interested in capturing a living priest."

At this time, a senior officer approached Airei and reported excitedly.

"Very good, send someone to escort him back immediately."

Hearing this, Ai Lei also grinned and ordered.

"Yes!" The senior officer immediately led dozens of soldiers to escort the important prisoners away from the battlefield and retreat to the rear.

The Goatman's guardian magic is quite good. It has been proven before that it is very effective in blocking arrow rain.
