Chapter 6 Hope Peak
When I woke up, I met Li Binglan's concerned gaze and found myself lying in her arms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I struggled to my feet and said, "I'm fine, thank you." ”
"I should have said this to you." Li Binglan's expression was relieved, the sweat after the fierce battle wet her messy red hair, and fell on her beautiful face, there is a beauty of hardness and softness, I can't help but be stunned.
At this time, the battle was over, Li Binglan slightly counted the number of casualties between the enemy and us, and found that our side only seriously wounded thirteen people and lightly injured hundred, while the enemy left nearly 5,000 corpses!
Stepping through the grass that had laid the corpses of the enemy, the "Silver Silk" cavalry entered the valley from the narrow valley. We will face another, more intense battle!
The nearly 30,000 troops of the Kingdom of Dotir quickly surrounded the 3,000 "Silver Silk" cavalry that we had just entered from three sides, and our troops who rushed to the rescue suddenly became a lone army deep into the enemy's formation.
In the vast valley of Wangya, there are flags fluttering from enemy troops everywhere, and the yellow dust raised by horses and the sound of people are intertwined, forming a huge momentum that overwhelmingly presses us all over the world.
In the distance, at the corner of the ridge to the east of the valley, another army surrounded a cavalry with a distressed look, the trapped troops numbered about a thousand, and the armor made of gold on the knight's body was all torn and damaged, and there was no bright color of the past, and the military flag representing the Faradis Empire had been torn to the point that it was not formed, and the royal emblem of the two-winged tiger on the flag was only faintly recognizable.
But the cavalry still defended its position tightly, defending a female knight in the center, and with the help of ridged mounds, with bows and long knives, the attacking enemy attacked again and again, but each time the cost of repulsing the enemy was to leave behind the corpses of hundreds of their own soldiers, and the defensive ring was constantly shrinking, and it seemed that it could not last long.
I think that the female knight who was shrouded in the protective magic of the water system by several magicians is undoubtedly the person we want to rescue this time - the fourth princess of the Falatisis Empire, Ettiria Ferratis. Being able to hold out for so long, on the one hand, shows that the royal guard of Ferratis has extraordinary combat power, and on the other hand, it also shows that the enemy army has no intention of over-oppressing the trapped beasts, after all, for the fierce beasts in the siege, the anger of its counterattack is quite amazing, rather than paying their own heavy casualties to storm an army that has fallen into the pocket, it is better to slowly wear off its sharpness and energy, so the Kingdom of Dotir adopted fatigue tactics.
However, this was not good news for the royal guard of Ferratis, the inexhaustible enemy, the heavy cost of the army from 10,000 to less than 1,000 now, and the shadow of death that weighed on the head all the time...... All kinds of heavy burdens are enough to crush the soldiers of the Royal Guard, and they have been able to hold on until now because of their strong loyalty to the country and the royal family, and a glimmer of hope for the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment stationed in Haynes to come to their aid, right? Rescue? How to rescue? In front of the army of the Dotir Kingdom that opened up the half-moon encirclement formation, I am afraid that we are the ones who need rescue the most! I thought to myself.
The enemy army was quite tightly arranged, with pikemen with spears and shields in front of the flanks, followed by swordsmen, then archers, and at the back a phalanx of nearly fifty magicians, while the heavy cavalry stood out in the middle, surrounded by a tall figure in purple armor, and a large red banner embroidered with an eagle pattern held by a flag bearer beside him, hunting in the gale.
Facing an enemy more than ten times his size, Li Binglan's face was calm, and his calm expression also infected his subordinates, although the three thousand cavalry looked solemn but did not show any panic, it seemed that their commander was full of confidence in victory.
The tall purple-helmeted warrior was the first to speak: "Li Binglan, surrender!" You don't have a chance anymore, so why bother fighting the trapped beasts? Your 30,000 cavalry in charge of the fall have been besieged in the Half Moon Mountains by our allies, the Becca Cherryista Alliance, and this is a war that is doomed to you from the beginning, and you can't turn things around even if you have the name of the 'Ice Maiden God of War', facing an enemy sixteen times your size, Li Binglan? Instead of letting his soldiers die in vain, it is better to submit to this king! This king has a lot of respect for you, as long as you are willing to surrender, this king will accept you as a concubine, and let you lead the kingdom to conquer the world with this king! "This person Hao Ran is Hermit III, the new successor of the Kingdom of Dotir!
Li Binglan replied calmly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your appreciation, however, the word 'surrender' has never been in Li Binglan's dictionary, and besides, even if General Ben agrees, my 'Silver Silk' Knights will not agree!" Your country's wanton use of unknown divisions, undeclared war, despicable sneak attack on our royal mission, such a shameless act is not the demeanor of a great country! Elmit, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?! ”
Elmet III said angrily: "Mean? Faratis is called true meanness! Sending people to attack the mission of the Grand Duke of Fermingor under the guise of our army, and then assassinating the former king, marrying the Becca Shelureista Alliance, provoking a war between our two countries, and taking the opportunity to send troops to Haynes - what a sinister and vicious plan! Is this called the demeanor of a great power? Li Binglan, since you are obsessed, today this king will first use your blood to sacrifice the first king! The flames of angry vengeance burned from Elmit's eyes.
Li Binglan said coldly: "You underestimate General Ben too much, General Ben has galloped the world for seven years, is invincible, and has never fought an uncertain battle, do you think the traitor you sent to our 'Silver Silk' will be able to hide from me?" Do you know why I'm talking so much nonsense with you? Your Majesty Elmit, today General Ben will teach you a lesson on how to use soldiers! ――Do you think I'm the one who got the shot? You're the one who really wins, Elmit! Today you are going to pay the price for your hubris! ”
In Elmit's moment, Li Binglan pulled out the "Qilin", pointed at the sky with a blue sword body, and chanted a strange incantation in her mouth: "The supreme god, the great power that travels through time and space, in my name to conclude a blood covenant, purify the earth of all evil, I summon - the unicorn electric blade!" ”
In the middle of the chanting, the blue light of the "Qilin" sword body flowed, and gathered into the tip of the sword and shot straight into the sky, and for a time the sky changed: the original clear sky was covered by dark clouds, the earth was dark, and in the roar of thunder, a powerful thunderbolt slashed down from the middle of the gathered dark clouds, and fell on the phalanx of magicians of the Dotil army.
The shield of light gathered by the magician instantly collapsed in the thunderbolt of light, and after a dazzling white light and a loud bang, the phalanx where the magician was originally located turned into a scorched earth pit, and the first-class magicians of the fifty Dotir kingdoms were instantly turned into ashes, and the soldiers who connected to the phalanx of the magicians were not spared! By this time, the vision of the sky had faded, and the scene of a clear sky had been restored.
Is this the power of the artifact "Kirin"? I gasped, and now I finally understood the reason why there were no magicians in the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment - Li Binglan herself was a more terrifying magic swordsman than the Great Magician! On the mainland, the demand for magicians in the armies of various countries is very scarce, and the value of a trainee magician can be on the same level as a cavalry captain, not to mention the level of magician, great magician, magician, great magician, magician, and great magician! The reason for this is that although a person of the profession of magician is relatively fragile, and a trainee swordsman can easily kill a great mage in hand-to-hand combat in peacetime, if enough time is given for the mage to gather mana and chant incantations, a trainee mage can instantly destroy a hundred times his own enemies. So under the cover of cavalry, magicians can play an important role on the battlefield. The magic swordsman has both the physique of a warrior and the magic power of a magician, but the requirements of the innate conditions are quite harsh, and he must have both mental and physical qualifications, so people with this profession of magic swordsman are not common on the mainland.
At this time, I glanced at Li Binglan, fine beads of sweat gathered on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were slightly tired, after all, it was extremely mental and physical strength to launch such a powerful magic. But the price paid was worth it, and I, who had a natural keen grasp of the battle situation, quickly understood the reason why Li Binglan did not hesitate to expend a lot of energy to destroy the enemy mage phalanx - the biggest threat to the "Silver Silk" knights was this team of only fifty mages.
"The soldiers of 'Silver Silk', kill!" Just as the army of the Kingdom of Dotir looked back in shock, Li Binglan waved his sword and gave the order to attack.
The 3,000 "Silver Tassel" cavalry followed the leading Libinglan to attack from the right flank of the Dotir army, and the distance was quickly shortened, so that the archers and pikemen of the Dotir Kingdom could not play their due role.
The "Silver Tassel" cavalry cut in from the heavy cavalry and the pikemen, and the army of the Kingdom of Dottier was instantly divided into two halves, and almost at the same time, the vast momentum sounded from the wide valley mouth behind the Dotir army, and countless "Silver Tassel" cavalry poured in from the valley mouth, and it was an army of nearly 70,000 led by Joseph, who originally stayed in Henes!
The 3,000 cavalry that formed a cone-shaped formation were like a bamboo under the leadership of Li Binglan, and Li Binglan, who waved the "Qilin", was even more invincible, and there was no enemy under his command!
I held the long sword in my hand from the dead corpse of the enemy in the previous battle, followed closely behind Li Binglan, saw Li Binglan's perfect movement when she waved the "Qilin", and felt the fierce momentum when she took out the sword, which was more powerful and incomparable than when she fought with a longbow, just like the reincarnation of the god of war, the long sword strike, the enemy either spurted blood from the chest or was killed by the flames or uncast sword qi brought up by the "Qilin", just like watching a perfect dance of blood and fire! Is this the beauty of the art of war embodied in the battlefield of life and death? A splendid and magnificent picture of the strategic art of war, the blood and masculinity of the soldiers, and the heroism of the individual in an incomparably refined way in the moment of life and death!
The cavalry of Li Binglan quickly joined up with the army of "Silver Silk", and the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and after the originally surrounded lone army and the army converged, it evolved into the "Silver Silk" Knights attacking the Dotir army from two sides. The enemy army, which had been cut in half from the middle, fell into a rout, especially the part of the enemy army on the right flank, which was separated from the commander Elmit III and lost his command, was mercilessly slaughtered by the wolf-like "Silver Tassel" cavalry in a panic. The situation on the left flank where Elmet and the heavy cavalry were located was not much more optimistic than that on the right flank, and in the chaos, Elmit's orders could not be passed on at all, and the soldiers on their own side who were squeezing each other seriously hindered the movement of the heavy cavalry, and under the impact of the flexible light cavalry of the "Silver Silk", there was even a tragic phenomenon of their own people trampling on each other.
At this time Elmit III was separated from his own heavy cavalry in the storm. Li Binglan used the "Qilin" to pull out the chaotic enemy army, and slashed all the way to Elmit, leaving a long bloody path behind the enemy soldiers.
"Li Binglan - 'Ice Lady God of War' really lives up to its name! Wipe out the king's deliberate arrangement in the snap of a finger! It's a good time, this king still has the strength to kill you under the sword! Elmit's eyes were red, and his tall body wrapped in heavy purple armor exuded a strong momentum like a wounded wolf in danger, and shouted: "Bah! "Swing the black giant sword with a wide mouth and face Li Binglan!
Li Binglan galloped forward with her legs between her legs, and the "Qilin" in her hand turned into several dazzling sword shadows in the air, targeting Elmit's upper body from nine different directions. Elmit's giant sword actually blocked Li Binglan's nine-sword combo with incredible speed and accuracy, and returned three swords, which was also easily blocked by Li Binglan.
At this time, the sound of the exchange of weapons between the two people on the valley was crisp and pleasant, and the sparks generated during the exchange burst out in all directions. Both of them displayed amazing swordsmanship, one agile and ethereal, the other thick and continuous—two different styles, two terrible swordsmanship, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser for a while. During the battle, the two repeatedly misplaced themselves and exchanged directions several times.
Li Binglan suddenly screamed, and took the initiative to step forward again, and the "Qilin" in her hand suddenly changed her previous light sword momentum, and slashed straight at Elmit from the middle with a wide open and closed momentum!
Elmit instinctively swung his sword to block the block, and put Li Binglan's incomparable sword in the air, but the strong sword aura actually cut through the giant sword to Elmit's helmet, and the heavy helmet broke through it and fell to the ground, revealing Elmit's resolute pale cyan face, and a faint blood mark fell from the eyebrows on his face, and the original red eyes were only left with fear and disbelief, and the giant sword that stopped in the air was broken in half, and then Elmit's hand holding the sword drooped, and his head was tilted, and he was dead. This is the power of Li Binglan's sword!
The army of the Kingdom of Dotir, which had lost its commander, no longer had the heart to resist stubbornly, and threw down their weapons and surrendered.
After the victory, the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment expressed their supreme respect for the commander with enthusiastic cheers and shouts:
"Long live General Leigh!"
"Long live the Ice Maiden God of War!"
……
Under the scorching midday sun, Li Binglan, who was smiling shallowly, was like a god, squinting at all beings.
In this battle, the "Yinying" cavalry regiment achieved a brilliant record of killing 20,000 enemies and surrendering 6,000 troops at a small cost of 50 killed, 200 seriously wounded, and 500 lightly wounded.
Elmit III, the monarch of the Kingdom of Dotir, who was crowned less than two months ago, had only an unusually short political and military career, like the countless rising stars of the Shenglun Continent, his ambitions fell in a hurry before he could be realized, and he was only recorded in history in his last life as an insignificant halo in the undefeated glory of the "Ice Lady" Li Binglan. In just two months, the kingdom of Dotir lost two of its monarchs, which was undoubtedly worse for a country that had been weakened by the war with the Becca Shelurista Alliance, after which the royal family had no heirs, the army lost the object of filial piety, and the country inevitably fell into a civil war of warlords, and there was no longer the ability to compete with Ferratis for the supremacy of the continent of St. Lennan.
Later historians have had mixed evaluations of the young king of Hermit III, because there is so little historical information about him, and therefore the opinions of various schools that have been freely exerted without sufficient historical research have been very different, but the opinions of all schools are neither convincing nor refutable.
Some historians believe that Elmit III was actually capable of becoming a promising monarch - if he had not met Ligylan too soon, he would have brought the kingdom of Dotil to a glorious era, and even changed the political landscape of the entire continent of S. Lun, because his political strategy before the war can be used as evidence: he was able to see the machinations of the Pharatis Empire, reach a reconciliation with the Becca Shelurista alliance at the right time, and unite the alliance's armies against the empire, Even in the battle with Li Binglan, he showed extraordinary strategy, but his military talent was still too tender compared to Li Binglan - some historians simply said that "the light of the fireflies dares to compete with the bright moon".
But however malleable or probable Ermit III's "future" may be, there is no future for him himself.
"Start with the Gap of the Winds
The goddess picks up the scythe of death in her left hand
The right hand summons the Flame Linmon
Weave your way through endless enemy armies
Decapitate the Eagle King
Tread on blood-stained ground
The goddess finally smiled
The god of war smiled
Victory was upon us......
Behind the Goddess
A young man raised the king's first sword
Blood burned the king's robes
from now on
Wangya became a legend ......"
This is the later description of the Battle of Libing Lan Wangya by the troubadours on the continent of St. Lun, and my name appears for the first time in the troubadour's mouth.
