Chapter 16 Battle(2/2)
.Brothers, kill them quickly. A soldier is worth several gold coins in bounty. Remember to count, otherwise you will lose money in the future."
The Silver Wolf soldiers roared wildly, waved their weapons desperately, and fought with the enemy soldiers through the wooden fence.
The combat situation of Smart and his soldiers was extremely unfavorable. Above the horse trap, the first wooden fence only left less than two feet of open space for them to stand. They had no room to dodge at all, and they were often
Standing there, they became a living target for the soldiers of the Vant Empire. However, relying on their numerical advantage and relying on their illusions of victory, they also killed and injured many Vant soldiers behind the wooden fence.
"Swish, swish", the terrifying sound of breaking through the air came over. The five thousand remaining Feifeng Bow Riders under Wei's command began to run back and forth on the flat ground behind the defense line, shooting the bows and arrows in their hands one after another.
Going out, there was a sharp sound of wind. Amidst the sound of "chichi", more coalition soldiers fell to the ground howling miserably. Each burst of arrows caused at least thousands of casualties. It was six miles long.
Inside and outside the defense line, there was a bloody storm, and the blood gradually dyed the ground purple.
Wei, who was directing the overall battle just behind the second wooden fence, suddenly shouted: "Qiannu, where did Qiannu go?"
Auf screamed: "Sir, only twenty crossbows have been prepared in Turk Canyon. All the crossbows and other weapons of the main army have been destroyed." Yes, the defeat of the Five Beasts Legion destroyed all the large crossbows they carried. The powerful crossbows were captured or destroyed.
Wei was shocked: "Only twenty?... No matter, let them occupy the high ground and shoot the opponent's mage. Quick, quick."
Twenty powerful crossbows quickly occupied the small soil bag behind the wooden fence, and began to shoot at the Smart Master in the distance from a high position. But it was too late. Twenty crossbow arrows at a time could not attack the Smart Empire as densely as it seemed. The colony's mage team poses no threat.
Densely packed magic bullets were shot from a thousand feet away. Suddenly, earth and rocks were splashed everywhere. The wooden fences made of thick logs groaned and were torn into pieces by the huge explosion force. At the same time, more soldiers from both sides fell to the ground. Under the attack of magic. What is even more terrifying is that those high-level mages of the Dragon level have already cast their own powerful spells, fire dragons, tornadoes, and rocks mixed with raging flames. These terrifying The magical attacks roared towards the defense line of Turk Canyon.
Under the instruction of Carlin, most of these mages aimed their magic at Wright. The dense defense line of Wright's two imperial soldiers ignored the section of the defense line that their own soldiers were responsible for. As a result, the wooden fence along with the defense line was torn apart. Apart from the Vante soldiers, the ones that were cracked were also Rhett, the infantry of the Wright Empire. Where the fire dragon passed by, in addition to burning large sections of the wooden fence, the bones and flesh of the soldiers it passed were also scattered. A strange smell of barbecue; where the tornado passed, the wooden fence was easily pulled up, and countless soldiers were sucked into the tornado. After being thrown high, they fell heavily to the ground; those rocks were There was a huge explosion, like a bomb, and where it fell, there was suddenly scorched earth within a radius of ten meters.
The first wooden fence was instantly destroyed... Immediately afterwards, the second wooden fence was also destroyed... The horse pit was filled with the corpses of countless dead soldiers, and then exploded with a bang. The huge rock was blown to the ground.
The mages moved forward slowly, with proud smiles on their faces. The third and final fence was waving to them. As long as this fence was taken down, the light cavalry of the Dark Empire and the Bicester The empire's cavalry can march straight in without any hindrance, and the demise of the Vant Empire is only a matter of time.
When the first magic bomb exploded, Lei had already issued an order: "Everyone retreat, retreat, damn, leave quickly." He quickly retreated to the second fence with a group of senior knights and a large number of soldiers. At this point, those Silver Wolf soldiers who persisted in retreating were immediately bombarded into pieces.
When the second fence was destroyed, Lei had already led the subordinates of the first division to retreat to the last fence. A livid-faced Wei happened to be standing there, and she roared in a low voice: "Damn it, are we really If...the opponent's soldiers are too numerous, we can't possibly fight them out. If we can't use high-level knights to fight with them, we won't be able to fight against so many mages."
As soon as Lei turned his head, he saw Wei's distorted face. The livid complexion gave her face a strange, mysterious aura, making her look even more beautiful. Lei felt a sudden pain in his heart for no reason. He had no relevant experience at all, and for the first time he felt heartache because of a woman's sadness and despair. It was a feeling that was like a soldering iron, burning hard in his heart in an instant.
The charge of the enemy soldiers in front was much slower, and the formation was also sparse. Those soldiers were frightened by the terrifying methods of the magicians of the Smart Empire who did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Who dared to rush forward with all their strength? The speed of their attack Slow down, the formation became sparse, and morale suddenly fell to the bottom. Although two wooden fences were broken through, at least more than 20,000 companions died at the hands of Magician Smart. Wright was present , the Rhett soldiers had vaguely felt that the Smart people did not seem to have good intentions.
Lei's heart was trembling, a deep pain that could even be compared to the heartache when he saw his mother getting sick. It made his heart shrink into a ball. He discovered the abnormality of the other soldier. , found that the murderous aura in them had dissipated to almost nothing. This beast-like intuition made Lei react like a beast. He straightened his spear, roared and headed towards Shi, who was 1,200 feet away. Matt's magician team rushed forward. Between him and the magician team was a densely packed attacking force of more than 50,000 people.
Wei was awakened by Lei's roar. She keenly saw the subtle changes in morale on the battlefield. She roared: "Charge...all the troops, defeat the enemy infantry, and kill their magician team."
Wei raised her sword and was the first to leap out. A large number of high-level knights behind her rushed out with roars. Then, five thousand flying phoenix archers rushed out with shouts, shooting dense arrows all the way, and the remaining mad dragons rushed out. , the Silver Wolf heavy cavalry also clashed out with a roar, while the heavy infantry of the Violent Lion Legion, the only one that retained a basically complete structure, formed a dense square formation, charging forward with rapid steps and a forest of spears. go out.
Lei roared and rushed towards the enemy. The unique toughness in the blood of the mountain residents was stimulated by the vigorous inner energy. His spear once again danced with a ball of silver light, and a tornado roared and wrapped around his figure. Along the way, the light infantrymen of the coalition forces howled miserably and their muscles and bones were broken by his gun barrel. The rapidly rotating gun head occasionally came into contact with those unlucky soldiers, and immediately a fountain of blood spurted out, and those soldiers' The body was almost torn in half by the sharp spear point.
Wei had already rushed over after Lei, and the long sword in her hand once again emitted the intoxicatingly beautiful light rain. Every bit of light rain took away the life of a soldier. More high-level Vante The knights followed them and rushed out. How could those soldiers resist such an elite team? The high-ranking knights from various countries mixed in with the coalition soldiers had long since fled and dueled with the desperate Vante knights on the battlefield? That was the talent of an idiot. things.
These shameful nobles are still waiting for them to gain a little more territory from the rich land after successfully annexing the Vant Empire. If they die in battle now, wouldn't their goals have been defeated? Huh? Seeing that the Vant Empire is about to perish, we can't risk our lives and fight against the Vant Knights no matter what.
Especially when they saw dozens of high-level knights rushing forward without admitting defeat, only to be killed by the Vante knights in an instant, their escape became even faster... The generals began to escape, and the soldiers'
The pace also slowed down, and then, in total, there were about 30,000 heavy cavalry, and the bow cavalry roared over, so these soldiers also firmly turned around and rushed towards the woods behind.
.There are more coalition soldiers in the woods, and Emperor Vant would not dare to charge anyway.
Carlin was dumbfounded as he watched the infantry regiments he had thrown into the attack begin to flee one after another, and those mages who were unable to run were already wrapped up in the chaos. Carlin opened his mouth wide and looked at everything in front of him in horror.
...He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. He felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do to save the mages who were scattered by the rebel army...
One thousand two hundred feet, according to the pace of Lei and the others and the speed of the cavalry behind them, they arrived in an instant. But behind, those Bicester warriors were still two miles away and slowly walking this way, leaving them on horseback.
, it seemed that it was even difficult to walk. After fighting for so long, they had only wandered three miles. But when Bobcat saw the rebels rushing over, he actually started to form a team on the spot and demanded that the Bicesters, who were not in any order,
The soldiers organized themselves into a dense phalanx. Invisibly, they gave up on reinforcing the mage team.
About a thousand high-level mages flew up. The spectacular sight of a thousand high-level mages flying together at the same time is really rare on the battlefield. However, the dream of five thousand flying phoenix bow cavalry to let them escape came to nothing.
The rain of arrows shot towards the sky. The high-level mages who basically had no defense in the air were covered with arrows and fell down like stones. They were also mages who used high-level flying skills.
, none of them can escape, not to mention the mages who use low-level levitation techniques.
Lei had already rushed into the mage team. He smiled ferociously, and the spear in his hand pointed out like a golden rooster pecking at rice. Anyone wearing a black robe must be an enemy. Lei waved his spear with a wild smile and said something in his mouth.
Wei behind him almost wanted to go crazy and strike him with a sword: "One hundred gold coins, three hundred gold coins, five hundred gold coins..."
The heavy cavalry rushed into the dense team of mages. There was no need to draw swords to kill them. As long as the horse hooves fell on these mages, it was enough to kill them. After successive fierce battles, the wizard brigade of the Smart Empire began to fight.
The number of more than 30,000 people has been reduced to more than 20,000 people. This time, there are more than 10,000 people dispatched. They are densely packed into ten thousand-man phalanxes within a distance of six miles. But now they have been rushed by the rebel army.
It was such a mess that many mages were simply knocked down and trampled to death by soldiers from their own country.
In the woods, senior generals from several other countries looked at the miserable scene indifferently. They felt so happy in their hearts. They could naturally see that Carlin maliciously attacked his infantry regiment in the attack just now. Now they saw Shima.
The pride of the Smart Empire and the invincible mage army are being ravaged by the other side. How can they be unhappy? Especially since they all have the same idea. The more the Smart Empire is weakened, the more advantages they will take in the future.
The commander of the Dark Empire even began to mutter: "Kill more, kill more, even if the infantry of the empire loses all, they will forget it. One magician is equivalent to five ordinary soldiers, as long as their magician dies."
Even if it’s all gone, I’d be happy to have an extra hundred thousand soldiers die.”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Wright Empire next to him heard his murmurings, and then a beautiful smile appeared on His Royal Highness's face. He nodded gently and said, "Yes, seeing the blood coming from the black magic robe
When it shoots out, it really has a very beautiful feeling."
Therefore, with the tacit approval of these senior generals, their officers had no intention of ordering soldiers to reinforce or order the rebels to resist desperately. They all watched the excitement.
The sound of horse hooves roared, and all the cavalry troops of the Smart Empire were dispatched. They were preparing to rescue their mage team. But what was fatal was that Bicester's more than 120,000 soldiers were densely lined up on their way forward.
The phalanx blocked their charge. By the time the commander of the Smart Empire finally directed his cavalry to bypass the two wings and charge towards the battlefield, the mage brigade of the Smart Empire had been defeated by Vant.
Everyone was killed.
This battle truly verified a war truth spread on the mainland: "When the enemy gets close, a seventh-level dragon-drilling mage is not as useful as a chicken."
Kalin stared dumbfoundedly as his mage team was wiped out, and a ball of scorching anger emerged in his heart. He really wanted to, he really wanted to activate the forbidden spell right now to kill all the allies in the woods next to him.
Kill it... But, he thought about the consequences and forcibly suppressed his anger.
He whispered to Sha Boke behind him: "In the future, we will order allied forces from various countries to attack in turn. Our mages are strictly prohibited from dispatching more than 100 people at a time. If the loss exceeds 1,000 people, then our mages team is strictly prohibited from sending out more than 1,000 people."
It’s a battlefield.”
Shabo nodded silently. He knew in his heart that if Carlin hadn't ordered the mages to deliberately bombard the coalition soldiers, the morale of those soldiers would not have declined so quickly. In any case, as long as those soldiers resisted a little, the Smart Empire
It is still possible for the magicians to escape unscathed. It can be said that this failure was caused by Carlin alone. Carlin's weird temper simply killed these 13,795 magicians.
In the rebel army, the magician who lost the protection of the infantry, his only role was to add merit to the opponent's soldiers.
Seeing the opponent's cavalry brigade rushing over, Wei decisively gave the order to retreat. The heavy infantry of the Violent Lion Legion arrived just in time. They thrust out dense spears, intimidating the cavalry of the Smart Empire from pursuing them. They covered them.
His cavalry team and infantry slowly retreated into the last wooden fence.
Bicester's group of tall soldiers looked coldly at the countless magician corpses on the ground. Bobcat's heart was filled with gloating pleasure. He looked at the wooden fence left in front of him and the horse pit that had been filled.
At the entrance of Turk Canyon, he sneered: "Very good, it looks like we don't need to fight hand-to-hand anymore. Soldiers, we'd better put on our armor and drown the enemy with our invincible cavalry."
The Bicester cavalry soldiers smiled, turned around in order, and walked towards the woods where their 'Thunder Beasts' were.
The sky was gradually getting dark, and Carlin ordered the call to retreat. It seemed that there was no time to break through the Turk Canyon today. In any case, the soldiers of his coalition must rest well, otherwise they would not have any combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Carlin decided to discuss the problems that arose during today's attack with other commanders. Of course, he would never admit that he deliberately ordered his subordinate magicians to attack those allied soldiers.
Karin muttered: "No matter what, the fight has become like this, you must mobilize more troops. I don't believe that you can still remain calm. If we don't completely conquer the Vante Empire, we will all
There is a danger of retaliation... Huh, if the Vante Empire mobilizes the whole country, one year later, they will have a terrifyingly large army, plus the knights from their domestic aristocratic academy, then we will be considered victorious.
The price paid is also..." Carlin couldn't help but trembled as he thought of the tragic scene of blood flowing into rivers across the continent.
In Turk Canyon, Kai had come to his senses. He had lost his left arm and stood behind the fence to greet Wei and the others.
Wei silently gave him a military salute. Kai, who had lost his left hand, let go of the sword he was holding in his right hand, raised his right hand to return the military salute, and then said: "I want to return to the imperial capital, and I have tried my best.
Wei...I can no longer fight now. I must go back to the imperial capital. I want to ask Your Majesty to launch a nationwide mobilization. There are seventeen provinces in the north, each with a population of more than four million. One year later,
We can train an army with tens of millions of troops. If they want to destroy us, then they must compete with everyone in our entire empire."
Wei was silent for a while and sighed: "But, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on."
Kai nodded, looked back at the dark interior of the canyon, and asked: "Do you know that in the middle of Turk Canyon, about one hundred and seventy miles from here, there is a pass less than two miles wide?"
Wei nodded, and Kai continued: "Then, please stick to it for half a month no matter what. After half a month, I guarantee that there will be a city wall waiting for you there. I swear, after half a month, there will be a city wall there."
A strong city wall is waiting for you. I will order the two nearest lords to mobilize all available workers to build a strong city wall there."
Wei's eyes lit up and she asked: "Half a month?"
Kai nodded: "Yes, half a month, please hold on for half a month no matter what. The nearest private army will also take ten days to mobilize, so I hope you must hold on here.
Otherwise, our empire will be in real danger. Please."
Wei silently raised the long sword in her hand, Kai nodded, and then turned around and walked into the canyon with the two bodyguard knights. Then, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded in the canyon.
Wei muttered in a low voice: "In half a month? Maybe, maybe we can do it. If the other party doesn't send more troops, we should be able to do it. The only thing we need to worry about is Bicester's cavalry, here
It's already a flat plain... But maybe we can do that... This place is one hundred and seventy miles away from the pass. Maybe, maybe we can retreat ten miles every day, and the Bicester Cavalry... let them catch up.
We're done."
In the woods outside the canyon, dense lights flashed out, and Carlin and his army officially set up camp.
Outside the canyon, there are more than 500,000 coalition troops, but inside the canyon, after the attack just now, the number of combat-effective soldiers is only 100,000. Especially the opponent has more than 100,000 Bicester cavalry. From any point of view,
, it is too difficult to defend Turk Canyon...
Lei secretly looked at Wei's frowning face, and his heart became heavy for no reason, and then he felt a sense of emptiness.
