Chapter 169: The Wolf Enters the Flock
"Pass my orders, all artillery, archers and magic archers for me to keep an eye on your fellow enemies!"
"All the archers and magic archers give me fire, and the artillerymen give me incendiary stone shells, and stare at the places covered with fuel!"
Louis and Kipulins gave orders, and Hiskantha asked his subordinates to do what Kipulins ordered, and for a time the artillery was in unison, and rockets rained between the two armies, although the 58th Legion was strong in combat, but it was still impossible to block so many enemy attacks at one time, and from time to time there would be attacks falling on the city walls, and the fuel and flames collided together and began to burn violently, and there were even bursts of explosions in some places.

"O Vanihat, the god of winter in the northern frontier, use the winter crystal as a sacrifice to freeze all inanimate things!"
The ground where the entire northern city wall stands is covered by a blue magic array, and the freezing gas that does not affect any life gushes out from the array, freezing the entire city wall, and in an instant, all the burning flames are extinguished, whether it is rockets or incendiary stone projectiles, they are turned into ordinary arrows and stone bullets.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Anetta's forehead, and it was difficult for him to release a fourth-order magic like this, but he was not very skilled in other elemental magic except for the burst magic, after all, he was self-taught in the elemental department rather than being taught by a teacher, and theoretical knowledge was not a problem, but it would still be difficult to really release unfamiliar magic, because of this, he was worried that he would fail this time, so he was a little nervous, but it was easier than he imagined to really release it, I don't know how many times.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city with fire, Hisali specially taught him this cold winter city before leaving, and after telling Louis about it, the general has been hiding Anneta in the tower, and at a critical moment like now, he asked his subordinates to slow down the enemy's attack while asking Anetta to help release this magic, the effect is that the fire attack has only started ten seconds, and Anetta has already protected the entire city wall with ice, and instantly bankrupted the enemy's plan to burn the city.
"Now... Trouble. ”
Kiplins's face is getting worse and worse, although he doesn't know how many people the 58th Army has arranged at the North Gate, but according to the secret post in advance and the report of the Legion that is now attacking the West Gate, it is estimated that the soldiers who follow Louis to guard the North Gate should be between 5,000 and 8,000, so that the two ordinary legions can wear out the North Gate defenders to death by grinding time, but then they will also lose most of the soldiers, and in the end they may not even be able to keep the formation.
No regimental commander wanted to see such an outcome, Hiskantha didn't want to, and neither did Kipulins.
This method of burning the city wall with a combination of flammable and explosive liquid and fire attack is the simplest and most effective strategy they can think of to reduce their casualties and battle time and increase the success rate, for which they even let the troops fight in the normal way at the beginning, spending a brave and good fighting regiment commander and more than 3,000 soldiers to cover the enemy's eyes and ears, but not only was the strategy broken by Louis in seconds, but even the city wall that finally burned was also frozen.
"There is no other way, if there is no way to knock down the city gate, then we will delay time with the enemy, let the large force retreat outside the enemy's attack range, leaving three regiments here to fight with the enemy, the evacuated soldiers collectively go to assist the troops at the east gate, the fifty-second legion is much easier to fight than the fifty-eighth legion, it is really good if we can have a magic to make the existence, the difference in configuration between the ordinary legion and the three fortress legions is simply terrible. Hiskantha suggested on the spot.
"That's all there is to it. Kipulins's eyes wandered, although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, but now there was no way, if he continued to consume like this, the enemy was consumed to death, and there would not be many of them left, although he assisted the coup d'état in Luoan, but these legion commanders knew very well that their greatest value to this careerist was the legion, they knew that if the legion was exhausted, they would not end well, and they did not help the coup d'état in order to be a rich man, they also had their own ambitions.
I saw that these two legions slowly retreated, leaving more than 4,000 people to continue to fight with the defending forces.
"They want to go and reinforce the East Gate, if we continue to fight these remaining troops, then when this side is over, the East Gate may also be broken. Louis frowned slightly as he looked at the enemy's situation, and he was in a dilemma.
"But with these more than 4,000 enemies, we can solve them soon. Kidman wondered, according to his thoughts, the four thousand men simply couldn't hold out for long.
"How many times have I told you that the battles have been fought in one go, and then they have been exhausted, and now the soldiers are not in their prime, and their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot, although they can easily clean up the enemy, it will take some time, for us this is not a long time, but for the defenders of the East Gate, it is different, what about Mulas and Desec?" Louis looked around, and finally saw that the two regimental commanders he was looking for were shooting arrows at the enemy army with other archers, and as the commanders of the cavalry regiment, they were also quite good at archery.
Hearing Louis shouting to himself, Mulas and Desec hurried over to listen to orders.
"Most of the enemy's archers and magic archers are left here, it is best to deal with those infantry or cavalry, you two lead your cavalry regiment out of the city, we will cover you, don't care about these enemies at the city gate now, go directly to chase and kill the enemy's large army, remember to put your own safety first, use mobility to knock the enemy a few times, if you have the chance, kill Kiplin and Hiskantha first, you should know very well what the two of them look like." ”
"Yes. ”
"Understood. ”
After accepting the task, the two quickly gathered their troops to exchange for cavalry equipment, because the cavalry could not play a big role in the defense of the city, so they had been acting as archers, and now that Louie's order was issued, they could naturally show their skills.
Kiplins, who was rushing to the east gate with the large army, wondered about the Hiskansa, "Do you feel any tremors?"
"Shock?" Hiskantha glanced at Kiplins, puzzled, closed his eyes, and felt the tremor that the other man had said, and suddenly he opened his eyes with a look of astonishment: "This is the vibration of ten thousand horses galloping!
"Report!" Before Kipulins could react, the herald Pegasus arrived, only to see him say in a panic: "Two adults, there are a large number of cavalry in the rear of our army!"
"What!?" The faces of the two changed completely, most of them were infantry, and most of the archers were divided into the defenders of the north gate, and entering the infantry formation with the mobility and impact of cavalry can be described as a wolf into the flock, Hiskansa reacted immediately, he quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare to trip their horses and legs with iron cables, which is one of the effective methods for infantry to fight cavalry.
"Where are the traitors!" exclaimed DeSec, as he rushed towards the enemy group first, and the whole cavalry unit was cone-shaped with him and Mulas as the vanguard, and the other cavalry were already enthusiastic and fighting when they saw their regimental commander rushing to the front.
