Let's say that Prince Arthur and Duran led five hundred elite soldiers to the northern part of the Spirit Wind Continent first, and the reason why they didn't come with Grace turned out to be a reason. One is that Grace is a woman after all, and Arthur doesn't want her to experience too many killings, and the other is that the power that has developed in this area seems to have been discovered by Jack, and he quickly sent a force of thousands of troops to try to strangle this force in the cradle.

Originally, this area was called the Land of Flowing Sound, which was the junction between the undead and the dwarves in the northern part of the Spirit Wind Continent. A few years ago, Prince Evilr defeated the city of Caldor, and finally fled here, because of the close proximity to the undead and dwarves, he used the money in his hands to recruit troops and horses, and developed a force, which now has more than 3,000 soldiers, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Prince Arthur and Durán went straight to the base camp, and along the way, they could see the camp tent and the flags were waving, and the soldiers were in high spirits and fully armed, and they looked like they were mighty and high-spirited. Enke, the leader of the station, hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him, and Arthur said as he walked: "What's the matter, this place is very hidden, how can Jack's dog thief hear the wind, isn't it that you went out without permission to expose the target?"

Enke hurriedly denied it: "The prince is wronged, the last general will follow your instructions and strictly restrain his subordinates, and no one has been allowed to go out without permission during the time since the prince left, and the target exposure is really not our doing." ”

When everyone entered the big tent and sat down, Arthur said angrily: "So, how did Jack's dog thief know, could it be that he could not predict it?"

Enke said: "The last general thinks that it is only a matter of time before this matter leaks out, although the Jack dog thief is far away in Caldor's city and cannot come here in person, but many of his minions are looking around for news about us, and it is difficult to ensure that the undead or dwarven people have stolen the news of this place." ”

Arthur waved his hand and said, "Let's go, there is no need to say much about it, where the enemy army is, who is leading the troops, and how many soldiers and horses are there to find out?"

Enke said: "My subordinates have sent people to find out clearly, the enemy army is more than 6,000 soldiers and horses led by the three brothers Xie Li, Xie Sha, and Xie Qi, and has now arrived near the North Wind City in the dwarven territory, which is only more than 400 miles away from us. ”

Arthur said, "These dog thieves are coming so fast, aren't they stopped from entering the dwarven territory without permission?"

Enke said: "The dwarven king Lahanda has been bought by Jack with a lot of money beforehand, so the enemy army has been unhindered all the way without any hindrance. ”

Arthur said angrily: "This Lahanda is really a mercenary villain, General Duran, now the situation is urgent, the enemy army has 6,000 soldiers and horses, which is twice as many as us, how should this battle be fought?"

Duran said with a calm face: "The prince doesn't have to worry, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, although the number of enemy troops is large, but they come far away There are many drawbacks, let's wait for work and the terrain of this land is sinister, as long as it is used, let alone only six thousand soldiers and horses, I am afraid that another six thousand will let them have no return." ”

Arthur was overjoyed and said: "Okay, with the general's words, the king's heart will fall into his stomach, and this battle will be handled by the general, and only victory will not let go of defeat." ”

Duran said confidently: "Don't worry, the prince will go and deploy the soldiers and horses, and the prince will wait to hear the good news." With that, he withdrew with Enke.

Over the next few days, Duran and Enke worked their thousands of men and horses, trying to maximize their combat effectiveness before the enemy arrived. Then there was good news, it turned out that the dwarves were born to be good at making muskets, gunpowder and other weapons of mass destruction, so Arthur spent a lot of money two years ago to recruit a team of dwarven mechanics, so that they could fully develop high-power combat weapons, and now the investment has finally paid off, the engineer team has developed a large number of muskets and grenades and other weapons in two years, this good news has undoubtedly made Duran more confident.

On this day, knowing that the enemy army was coming, Duran and Enke immediately led all the soldiers and horses to the enemy's road to set up an ambush, and Duran was equipped with dozens of muskets and hundreds of grenades developed in this battle, and ordered the engineers to work overtime to continue to produce these new weapons, and he had great confidence in these powerful weapons.

Duran led thousands of soldiers and horses to ambush on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road, he planned to take advantage of the terrain to attack the enemy army, and after waiting for about an hour, a small figure in the distance moved densely over, and the person who came was the elven army led by Sheri, Xie Sha, and Xie Qi.

This time they came to be inevitable, they were bound to wipe out all the bandits in the land of Liusheng, so they brought a big killing weapon, that is, the fire dragon that had made great contributions to their siege of the city and plundered the land.

Seeing that the elven troops had entered the attack range unsuspectingly, Duran gave an order: "Fight." "The subordinates equipped with new weapons quickly attacked, only to see dozens of muskets firing in unison, and at the same time grenades falling from the sky, only to hear the dense sound of gunfire and explosions, the elven troops were beaten to the head, killing and wounding hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.

Sheri, Shesha, and Xie Qi led the large army to retreat, they were obviously not prepared for the enemy's new weapons, Sheri was shocked: "What's going on, the enemy actually has such a powerful weapon, how can we resist?"

Xie Sha said: "Big brother, don't panic, judging from the enemy's attack just now, they do have some muskets, artillery and other powerful weapons in their hands, but I am afraid that the number is limited, I heard that it is extremely difficult to make such firearms, even the dwarven king Lahanda does not have more than five hundred in his hands, our soldiers and horses are far superior to them, and it is too naïve to want to block us with just a few muskets and artillery." ”

Xie Qi said: "What the second brother said is very true, he was just caught off guard just now, so he let the enemy take advantage of it, and when we regroup, I don't believe that we can't fight them, but don't forget that our big killer hasn't been shot yet." ”

Xie Li said: "The second brother and the third brother are reasonable, without further ado, let's also move out the big killing weapon, and this time let the enemy taste our power." "It is important to regroup troops and horses to attack. This time they came prepared, and with the help of two fire dragons, the situation was completely different, the two fire dragons were not afraid of the attack of the muskets, and the elves' good precision archery skills exerted great power, and the sharp arrows they shot rained down on the enemy.

Not to be outdone, Duran and Enke fought back, after all, the grenades in their hands were weapons that killed a large area, and they annihilated many enemy troops under a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, but this time they also suffered casualties, the enemy's archery skills were accurate, and the flames spewed by the two fire dragons were also powerful, and there was no way to deal with it for a while.

As the battle deepened, the soldiers and horses on both sides began to fight from a distance, and finally evolved into a life-and-death struggle with bayonets, this battle went straight to the dark and bloody, and finally Duran's side took a big advantage, he annihilated more than 1,000 enemy soldiers and horses with seven or eight hundred casualties, and in addition to the geographical advantage, of course, thanks to the huge lethality brought by the two new weapons of muskets and grenades.

suffered a big loss in the first battle, which made the three brothers Xie Li, Xie Sha, and Xie Qi, who were originally full of confidence, feel very uncomfortable. At night, the three of them sat together in the tent to discuss the next plan of action, Xie Sha said: "Big brother, third brother, although we suffered a little loss in the first battle, but after all, the soldiers and horses in our hands still have a great advantage, and the two fire dragons can provide continuous and stable lethality, and the enemy's muskets and artillery are one less shot, in my opinion, we have a good chance of winning this battle." ”

Xie Qi said: "What the second brother said is extremely true, at present, we are still in a favorable position, the soldiers are fast, we can't give the opponent too much time to breathe, if they let them accumulate the number of muskets and artillery, it will be even more difficult for us to defeat them at that time." ”

Xie Li said: "The second brother, the third brother and the eldest brother coincide with each other, we must not give the opponent too much respite, let's rest well tonight, and set off to attack early tomorrow morning. ”

The three of them had made up their minds, and then they dispersed to rest.

Early the next morning, Sheri, Shesha, and Xie Qi led all their soldiers and horses to march towards the enemy's lair at full speed, and it took less than three hours to reach the bottom of the enemy's lair. I saw Duran standing proudly on the city wall: "You and other rebels, you must know that my Prince Arthur is the king of a country that is justified by the elves, and Jack's thief who usurps the throne will be punished by God. ”

Xie Li said angrily: "It's nonsense, I will come to crusade against Vaer and other traitors on the order of King Jack, and those who know each other will quickly open the city gate and arrest him, otherwise Hugh blames General Ben for razing your bird place to the ground." ”

Duran snorted coldly: "What a big breath, I'm afraid that you don't have this ability, and it's easy to fight if you want to, and General Ben will come to meet you." As he spoke, he raised his troops and horses and went out of the city to meet the battle.

The two sides were facing each other, and the atmosphere looked very tense. Duran held the heavy sword in his hand and said domineeringly: "Xie Li, if you have the ability, let the horse come." ”

Xie Li said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Duran, let General Ben come to understand your high skills." As he spoke, his body jumped into the air, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand slashed at Duran, only to see a violent roar flying out, and Duran roared: "It's good." As he spoke, his body circled and flew up, and at the same time he waved the heavy sword in his hand to meet it, only to see two sharp cold lights collide with the rushing qi.

A loud bang was heard, and both of their attacks came to naught. Duran blocked a blow and fought back, only to see the heavy sword in his hand dancing wildly, and a strong gang qi quickly gathered around him, as the heavy sword in his hand was split with all his strength, a monstrous gang qi ten zhang high swept towards Xie Li like a hurricane, Xie Li was horrified, his body quickly retreated, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand swung around his body at high speed like a windmill, only to see a fierce gang qi roaring to meet it, a rumbling explosion sound, the land under the feet of the two was blown apart, and then Xie Li snorted and flew backwards more than ten meters away。

Xie Sha and Xie Qi, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, hurriedly flew forward and said, "Big brother, how are you?"

Xie Li clutched his chest and said with a painful expression: "I'm a little injured, this guy is so fierce." ”

Xie Sha and Xie Qi helped Xie Li to the side to rest, and the two said in unison: "Big brother rest for a while, let's go get justice for big brother." As he spoke, he swept over to a dozen meters in front of Duran and stood still.

Du Lan said with a confident expression on his chest: "There are two more people who will die, you can go together, so as not to make General Ben spend more time on it." ”

Xie Sha said angrily: "The third brother went up together and slaughtered this old dog. Saying that, he and Xie Qi launched an attack at the same time, one left and one right, only to see two violent gangs roaring towards Du Lan, Du Lan did not dare to slack off, the heavy sword in his hand was as fast as lightning and slashed out two cold lights one after another to meet it, two roars came, and neither side took advantage.

One blow failed, Xie Sha and Xie Qi were unwilling to give up, and the two of them each took out their housekeeping skills to attack. I saw that the big knife in the hands of the two people was cold and bright, and with the flashing of countless knife shadows, two fierce gangqi several feet high surrounded the two of them, and as the big knives in the hands of the two people slashed out together, the two violent gangqi swept towards Duran like a whirlwind.

Duran's heart froze, and his body retreated rapidly while the heavy sword in his hand slashed out wildly, only to see countless sword shadows rushing up like raindrops, and a series of roaring sounds came, and Xie Sha and Xie Qi's full force still didn't take any advantage.

Seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, the two of them also lost their patience, Xie Sha roared angrily: "Everyone obeys the order and kills all these thieves." ”

At the sound of an order, thousands of elven troops behind him rushed out like a tide, and Duran responded quickly, he shouted: "Musket team, grenade team, give me a fight." ”

For a while, only the sound of "crackling" gunshots and "boom" explosions were heard, and the elven troops who rushed forward were instantly shot over and dozens of people killed, but they were very heroic and continued to rush forward one after another. The two armies and horses fought together, and the two fiery dragons on the elven side were invincible, and the flames that spewed out were so powerful that they scattered the enemies who stood in their way, and their precise archery skills were a big headache for Duran's troops.

The soldiers and horses on both sides can be said to have played their own advantages, a fierce battle lasted for several hours, and the battle was dark and bloody, and finally both sides were defeated, Duran's side lost more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and the losses of Sheri's side were slightly more serious, losing as many as five or six hundred people more than the other side.
