Chapter 25: The Battle of Simon
The shield can prevent rockets, but it can't prevent it from falling to the ground and coming into contact with the black fire 'medicine' that is already gearing up to do a big job.At this moment, there is no room for maneuver.As long as those things explode.,No matter how much armor the soldiers wear, they can only turn into mortuary clothes.Henry has to make a painful choice.In order to avoid the doom of the whole army.He can only abandon the pawn and protect the car.Sacrifice the 'lives' of some soldiers. He quickly turned the cavalry on both flanks, withdrew to the foot of the walls of the city of Birti, ordered the most advanced infantry phalanxes to quickly assemble and move closer, raised their shields to block the direct damage of the rockets, and did everything possible to delay and delay the enemy's offensive. They admired the way the brothers used their troops, and they followed the Duke of Albert to the death, and they knew their mission the moment they were ordered.
The dwarves have actually discovered the efficacy of the black fire 'medicine' for a long time.But because of their living habits, this technology has not been widely spread.You know.The collection of black fire 'medicine' is very complicated.And the places where it is collected are basically in the area controlled by the dwarf society underground.On the Bodi continent.Magic is more familiar and intimate than the so-called technology of the dwarves.People's religious beliefs, Politics is almost always done without the help of magic, and although the northern pagans Dessert have musket weapons similar to those of the dwarves, they were defeated by the legendary Boist Pope Clement in the holy city of Roma, thus cementing the already entrenched position of magic in the hearts of the people.
Kentan's side is fighting steadily.Step by step, according to the sequence that he has already formulated.Now that the black fire 'medicine' has been sprayed.Then it's time for the archers to appear.These people must have been screened out layer by layer.Almost all of them are about two meters tall.In this way, you can ensure that you can 'shoot' a sufficient distance with an extra-long arm span. Powerful enough arrows.They carry a small charcoal stove under their feet.Every time they take out a bow and arrow from their waists.,They put the arrows in the stove and soak them.This is obviously to apply a layer of grease firmly.And then the arrows are drawn to the fire.Once they come into contact with the black fire 'medicine', the consequences can be imagined.
The first rocket did not cause the expected explosion, because the fire shield on the side of the Duchy of Borot acted as a good buffer, and when the arrow fell to the ground, it was basically without sparks. He asked the soldiers who were lucky enough to withdraw in advance to leave their shields in place at a certain angle, which was used as a flank cover for several stubbornly defending phalanxes, which greatly increased the difficulty of the Kentan Kingdom lighting the black fire 'medicine'.
Unfortunately, the key to the final victory or defeat of the war is still the probability theory that has been established since the beginning of the world.With the passage of time and the increase in the number of rockets.Finally, a few "lucky" arrows with satanic wings and dementor eyes successfully brought the fire of doom to the ground.In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook.It was like the thunder god in the sky descended to the mortal world.The soldiers of Kentan quickly fell to the ground according to the prior 'drill' and used the shield on their back to block the impact damage that might come.
The Duchy of Borot was a complete apocalyptic scene.The 'elite' phalanxes that had been tightly gathered together collapsed in an instant with a roar.You could even hear the sound of blood cracking.The huge explosion wrung everything nearby into a ball and threw it into the air.In the process, in addition to the rubble, there were human limbs and heads.They didn't even have time to shout.They lost consciousness early.Turned into the dust of history.
Henry Crawford knew what he was going to do: it was easy to sacrifice himself, but it was hard to endure humiliation. Of course he was willing to die with his men, but in that case he would be sorry for his brother Talen's request and for the trust of the young Duke Albert. he was almost the last to retreat to a safe distance.
The smoke and dust in the center of the battlefield had not cleared for a long time, and when it was finally visible, there was a huge black pit that was very penetrating and spectacular, and the warriors of the Duchy of Borot had already slept in it, their bodies were unrecognizable, and their intellect and emotions were instantly wiped out with the violent roar.
It was a strong spiritual shock, which caused both armies to sigh involuntarily.The shorter Raoul, the legal heir of the Kentan Kingdom, in order to avoid missing the battle, decisively called out loudly: "Where is the phalanx of the Spell Flame Master, now it's time for you to show off your skills."
As soon as the words fell, a group of wild magicians dressed in light green 'colored' magic robes quickly followed. Most of them were in the prime of their thirties and forties, and they were uniformly wearing soft and loose pointed hats to identify their identities.
The formation of the Duchy of Borot had become a bit 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' due to the retreat. If it hadn't been for Henry's timely and proper adjustment, it might have turned into a rout on the whole line. He ordered the cavalry on the two wings that had retreated to the city wall first to quietly move farther north and south. The original relatively compact formation was specially dispersed, and a phalanx was divided into two or three scattered states, and it stood in a position in a 'crossed' and forked manner.
At this point.' The spirit ranger Krees came over breathlessly, and it took him a great deal of effort to calm his 'agitation', which he could barely speak, and the news he brought was shocking, because the east side of the city of Birthi had also been attacked, and the person who came seemed to be an alliance between the Kentan and the Kotés. Henry could not believe his ears. Although the city of Birti was not as dangerous as the Mandunkou, the Kentan side had to overcome many obstacles if they wanted to get around the east gate. All kinds of time, as for the Cortés sect, he was a little frightened, could that Neo really want to break the jar, or did he have the secret support of the pseudo-pope Pisius behind him?
One thing after another, so that Henry was left with only the ability to parry, and he had to ask Kreese, "Where is the Duke now, is there any danger, and what does he mean?"
"The Duke is guarding the East Gate with the military advisor Tarun. They now have the defense troops of Birti City handed over by the Countess, and hundreds of Janissaries of General Iros are also helping to defend against the enemy.
After listening to Krees's narration, Henry slammed his fist a few times and said, "It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.That Neo has been silent since the failure of his plan to kidnap the princess.I didn't expect to be unrepentant.Please go back and tell the duke and the military advisor quickly.I will definitely defend the west 'gate' to the death.I will definitely not disappoint their expectations."
Kreese disappeared behind the smoke and dust with his forehead and head flying again.
The phalanx of Spell Flames on the other side of Kentan had apparently finished chanting, and they had already pulled out the great fireball that was brewing between their hands under the unified command of the leader, ready to throw it at any moment.
Henry made a quick decision, instructed all the phalanxes that had been dispersed to move quickly towards the big pit in the center of the battlefield, and once the fireball from the opposite side whistled over, he immediately avoided the sides as much as possible.
At this critical moment, the cavalry, which had been rounded far away, had already entered the attacking position, and each of them, according to Henry's prior instructions, quickly straightened his waist on his horse, raised his spear, and 'thrusted' the enemy's ribs with a wedge formation.
Kentan's camp is a multi-class and multi-race joint battle, so the changes between the phalanxes are a bit complicated. The first group of them just now is brightly dressed dwarves who throw black fire 'potions', the second group is replaced by humans who are about two meters tall who shoot bows and arrows, and now the third group of spell fire masters has become all kinds of strange 'mixes'.
In order to avoid interfering with each other, several phalanxes have deliberately left enough space between them, so as to facilitate the transition between front and back. Kentan has never been equipped with cavalry because it is located in a mountainous area, and their flanks are completely guarded by those ordinary foot phalanxes tightly circled in a circle.
The sudden cavalry charge did cause a lot of panic. In a hurry, His Highness Raoul ordered the phalanx of the Flamecasters to turn their guns and smash the fireballs at the two wings. Many parts of his body can withstand a blow weighing hundreds of pounds, but if he is hit on the waist and eye, he will probably be angry on the spot.War is not child's play.Under the ever-changing situation.The safest way is to make himself invincible.That kind of method of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is only suitable for fighting against the water.And the situation faced by Kentan this time obviously should not be done.
These magic fireballs have no ability to track, they can only strike at fixed points, and the warhorses of the Duchy of Borot are among the best in the entire Bodi continent.
The power of the horses' hooves and spears should not be underestimated, and the kinetic energy generated by the high-speed movement made these two wedge-shaped troops like strong pincers, which immediately tore apart the Kentan troops.
In the center of the frontal battlefield, the scattered soldiers of the Duchy of Borot were clearly encouraged, and they quickly passed through the black 'color' pit under the orders of Henry Crawford, preparing to engage the soldiers of Kentan in 'hand-to-hand' combat, because then the opponent's magic would have no way to exert any more power.
'Hope' to know how this stalemate will play out, and we'll continue next time.
