When the Silverwind Guards rushed into the valley, only half of Li Huailin's cavalry had climbed to the top. The rest were still climbing halfway. The members of the Silverwind Guards were also startled by this situation. The sight of hundreds of naked men hanging on the cliff was indeed a little shocking.
Although they were surprised for a moment, they reacted in the next second and quickly shot those guys to death. Without saying a word, the troops in front of them ran toward the cliff and started shooting arrows at the top of the cliff.
It was indeed very difficult to shoot from below, but thanks to this group of super archers, the Silverwind Guards, and their large numbers, someone was hit after a round of crazy shooting. The soldier in the middle was naturally very tragic. He screamed and fell down. Falling from such a height, he didn't even have the chance to be rescued. He fell directly into several pieces.
"It can't be. Are these people really that stupid? They haven't even reacted and still have the time to shoot? " Seeing this situation, Li Huailin was really speechless. If he knew that the other party was so stupid and easy to fool, he wouldn't have played this game. His losses would have been wasted.
Fortunately, while Li Huailin was surprised, Selena finally reacted. The other party had actually prepared an escape route. Why did they come here? Although she didn't know what the other party was planning, Selena felt that something was wrong.
"Captain, something's wrong," Winnie said.
"I know. Quick, everyone retreat. Retreat first," Selena said immediately.
'All fall back, quickly! 'cried Winnie at once.
"Everyone retreat!" "Everyone retreat!" The order was immediately passed down by the orderly. However, the troops didn't stop. The troops at the back were still squeezing to the front, causing the troops at the front to be squeezed to the front. They couldn't stop at all.
"Quick, retreat! What's wrong? " Selena instantly panicked. Previously, they were in too much of a hurry, and the troops didn't maintain their formation at all. Now, it was a mess. The first, second, third, and fourth corps were all mixed up together, and the generals couldn't even command them.
"Everyone, listen to my orders! Retreat from the valley! " Selena took a step forward, stood on a higher platform, and shouted at everyone. Nobody knew if Selena used magic or some combat aura skill, but her voice was so loud that everyone in the valley, including Li Huailin, could hear her clearly.
The order was clear enough. Everyone knew who to listen to, but the problem was that the troops at the back were still squeezing forward, and there were still people being pushed into the valley.
"What's going on?" Selena asked curiously. She couldn't see the situation at the back, so she didn't know what was happening at the back of her team.
"Move aside, let me pass." Selena noticed that something was wrong, and immediately shouted at the soldiers in front of her.
The surrounding soldiers immediately opened up a path. Selena immediately ran forward and began to approach the rear of her troops.
Now, a large part of the elven troops had entered the valley, and a small part was still squeezed on the mountain road leading to the valley. Selena couldn't walk past the entrance of the valley. The troops here were constantly being pushed in, and she had no idea what was happening at the front.
"What's going on?" Selena immediately asked a soldier who was probably running out from the back.
"There are human troops at the back, and they're pushing us in with shields," the soldier immediately said.
"Human troops?" Selena's mind went blank. Didn't they go to plunder the elven village … Where are they from?
"It's about time. Let's get started." Without giving Selena time to figure it out, Li Huailin saw that the number of people was almost enough. Now that the ground beneath his feet was densely packed with human heads, it was about time to start. So, he waved his hand and said to Veronica, who was next to him.
"Archers, get ready." Veronica said to the chess commanding officer beside her. The chess commanding officer raised the military flag in his hand, and in an instant, the entire top was surrounded by archers. Who asked Li Huailin to have so many archers? There were a total of 26,000 archers among the 90,000 troops, and they stood in a circle on the cliff.
"Release!" Veronica waved her hand, and the chess commanding officer immediately waved the military flag. The archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately released the arrows in their hands.
The momentum of the 26,000 archers' volleys was enough to shock the Silverwind Guards below. Most of the soldiers couldn't even react. Just a few minutes ago, they were still chasing the enemy's general, the duke, everywhere. How did they suddenly get attacked? And by so many archers?
However, everyone quickly understood what was going on. Whether it was those who were shot by arrows or those who saw their companions fall, the Silverwind Guards immediately understood that their team had been ambushed. Moreover, the other party definitely wouldn't just fire a single volley of arrows.
In fact, in a real battle, the accuracy of the first round of shooting wouldn't be too high. This was because the archers needed to adjust according to the weather, wind, and their state of mind. Therefore, the first round of shooting was only a test shot. However, Li Huailin's first round of shooting was shockingly accurate. The reason was simple. There were people below, and even throwing a rock down could kill one of them, let alone shooting arrows.
Most importantly, Li Huailin really wanted to ridicule the Silverwind Guards. He didn't know what was going through their minds. Such a huge army actually didn't have any kind of soldier. Although the members of the Silverwind Guards were good at both fighting and shooting, and could be considered a relatively strong team in both melee and long-range combat, how did they survive until now without being eliminated? It was said that the Beastmen had fought with such a team for a hundred years and still couldn't take them down. How weak were these Beastmen troops?
Just like the current situation, every member of the Silverwind Guards was equipped with a spear, a sword, and a bow and arrow. This kind of configuration was fine when fighting on the plains. You had a longer range than the others, and you could fight while retreating. But now, the situation was dire. No one could find a shield to defend themselves, and there was nowhere to run in this terrain. They could only rely on luck to dodge the arrows.
Naturally, the arrows on the human side wouldn't stop. After the first round of shooting, the archers above began to shoot freely. In any case, they were just shooting randomly. There were people below them. In an instant, the people in the valley could only see arrows falling down when they looked up.
The people at the entrance of the valley were the most miserable. Because there were the most people gathered here, everyone's first thought was to run to the back when they saw that they had fallen into an ambush. Therefore, more and more people were squeezed in. When the people above saw that there were more people here, they had to focus on this side. Therefore, a large number of arrows poured down.
Selena was also at the entrance of the valley. She had already been hit by two arrows. Fortunately, they weren't fatal. At this moment, her brain obviously couldn't process it. All she wanted to do was to rush out immediately.
The troops in front were constantly being pushed back. Selena rushed all the way to the front, and could already see the large shield formation of the human soldiers not far away.
There were rows of large shields. The people in front raised their shields forward, while the people at the back raised their shields upwards. In between the shields, there were countless spears, forming a mobile pillbox. They pressed forward step by step. Even on the plains, such an army would be a headache. Moreover, in such a situation, the other party didn't have to worry about the flanks and rear at all. They could just press forward directly.
The soldiers of the Silverwind Guards couldn't get close at all. If they got any closer, they would be stabbed to death by the spears that extended from between the shields. As for the long-range soldiers, they weren't afraid at all. No matter how they shot, they wouldn't react. With such a heavy infantry blocking the exit, it was too difficult to rush out. Moreover, they were shooting from above.
At this moment, it was unknown how many Elven soldiers had been killed by this army. Basically, the shields in front had been dyed red. Stepping on the corpses all over the ground, the heavy infantry continued to advance slowly, and continued to reduce the space on the Elves' side.
At the first sight of this army, Selena felt hopeless. Even if all the soldiers were to give it their all, they probably wouldn't be able to rush out. Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She seemed to have thought of something, and immediately shouted to the back, "There are still ropes behind. Hurry up and climb up!"
Upon hearing her words, all the soldiers of the Silverwind Guards recalled that the dozens of ropes that Li Huailin and the rest used to climb up were still hanging there. Of course, the cavalry had basically climbed up, but the humans seemed to have forgotten to retract the ropes, and they were still hanging there.
The panicked Elven soldiers immediately rushed towards the cliff on the other side, and scrambled to climb up the ropes.
"Marshal, we forgot to retract the ropes. They're trying to climb up," Maccon immediately said to Li Huailin when he saw the movement of the Elves below.
"I f * cking saw it long ago." Li Huailin said. "If they were to rush towards the heavy infantry, although they might not be able to rush out, it would still be quite troublesome if we don't suffer heavy losses. Give them a way to survive, and our losses will be smaller, understand?"
"Marshal, you've planned it?" Maccon nodded. "But what if they really climb up?"
"I say, they've been marching for two whole days, and now they've chased us for more than 10 miles. Now, we've asked them to climb 40 to 50 meters vertically. If they can still climb up after that, then they'll be considered powerful, alright? I f * cking feel tired just looking at them, "Li Huailin said while holding his forehead.
"Oh, that's true …" Maccon held his forehead. "Sure enough, Marshal wouldn't do such a good thing. The Silverwind Guards have really been played to death by him."
