Chapter 92: The Day of the Decisive Battle (I)

Hammer Lightshield couldn't wait, and after being appointed commander of 20,000 liger cavalry by His Majesty Renault, he immediately led his army to Icefield City in the northwest, and after several days of trekking, the army finally reached the nearest city of Kosol.

"Hmph, Your Majesty didn't believe me so much, and when he was leaving, he listened to the stupid words of that guy Jarvis and sent me a military advisor, what a disappointment!

Hammer didn't want to stay in Kosol City too much, but the woman in the dark robe made her rest in Kosol City, and the thought of that woman made him feel a little frightened, and every time he spoke to her, he felt like he was being choked by an invisible claw, and he had to nod his head quickly to express his position every time he spoke.

After this depressed thought, Hammer finally remembered the rumor that the Hyperion family was secretly using magical power, could it be that woman......

Thinking of this, he was even more scared, it was not a secret that the big nobles raised witches a long time ago, but a large part of the church's income comes from these big nobles, so as long as you don't go too far, the church won't care about you;

Hammer was very unwilling, if there was a witch here, his credit for capturing Icefield City would definitely be considered to be the use of the witch's power, so that the reward he could get would be greatly reduced, and now the best way was to get rid of the witch and monopolize the credit, but as soon as he thought of the witch's cold appearance, he immediately put away this thought; in the end, he had no choice but to write a victory document for the knight to bring back to Byron, in the letter, he described how he captured Icefield City, but did not say a word about Rafa and Felihill。

The letter of victory had already been sent away by the knight, but the cavalry who had been sent out to scout had just returned, and from the knight's mouth, he knew that some trenches had been dug in Icefield City to stop the cavalry's charge, but he scoffed at it.

In order to siege the city, he forcibly requisitioned a group of migrant laborers in Kosol City, these laborers carried a large amount of wood on their backs, and prepared to be brought under the city of Icefield City and then assembled into highly matched siege equipment according to the height of the city wall, as for the trench mentioned by the knight, he didn't care at all, he only thought about the scene of the huge boulders thrown by the siege equipment smashing through the decaying walls of Icefield City, and the huge cavalry army rushing into Icefield City.

Marching among the heavily armored cavalry, the sound of steel weapons rubbing against armor was incessant, the neat spears flashed in the sunlight, and the red tassels on the knights' helmets swayed like a sea of blood.

Han Mo couldn't imagine that such a majestic team could deal with Icefield City, which only had a mere 500 defenders, where there was a possibility of losing?

"You look good in armor. Feliscille and Audair stood behind Rafa and watched as he put on his dark ebony iron armguards, the first time he had worn armour, wearing only breastplates and scale armguards, and a cream-white trench coat, and black gloves that were not reflective, but were leather.

"You too. Rafa turned his head and smiled at Philicon, who was also in armor.

Felihill's armor is more concise than Rafa's, the upper body is embroidered with a flame rose pattern and red black iron armguards, the same black gloves as Rafa, the lower body is covered with a white battle skirt covered with diamond-shaped iron plates, and a pair of silver-white iron boots are put on her feet.

Her outfit never disappointed Rafa, and he had the impression that Felicille was at her best at every moment, except when he was worried about weapons.

"I'm ......," Felihill was about to speak, but Rafa preempted him.

"Aha, I've guessed what you're going to say, you're going to say, 'Put away your fearless compliments, that will only make you look vulgar,'" Larfa said with a hand dancing in her usual tone, "but I still have to say, you're beautiful." ”

A strange feeling arose in Felihill's heart, she subconsciously felt that she should be angry, but she did not hate such jokes, because Rafa's jokes made her feel that she could be ridiculed like an ordinary person, rather than as an unattainable god who could only be worshipped, but it was also important that "it was only because Rafa said it".

"But you guessed wrong this time, and I accept your compliment. Felihill tightened her gloves and stepped out of the house.

"My pleasure. Taking the sword from Audrey's hand, Rafa smiled and followed.

"Is it finally here?"

Hammer was a little drowsy, the horse under his crotch gradually stopped, and when he opened his eyes, the small city on the border finally appeared in his field of vision.

"Let's go, why don't you go, don't you see where it's so far away?" he urged the people around him.

"Your Excellency, the front army has reached the edge of the trench. A knight next to him explained.

"What is a trench, rushing over it not long ago?" Hammer, fearing that the cold woman would take the credit for him, glanced at a carriage behind him, and was relieved to see that she had not come out.

"Your Excellency...... The front army really can't charge......" said the knight again.

"A bunch of rubbish, get out of the way!"

Hammer scolded, urged the war horse under his crotch, and walked towards the passage vacated in the middle, and when he came to the position of the front army around the winding path, he was also a little stunned for a while.

I saw that behind a white line, the fine trench continued continuously, extending directly from the white line in front of me to the city of Icefield City, and it seemed that there was no other way to go except for the big road in front of me.

Hammer's face gradually became solemn, and he looked at the end of the trench on both sides, one side extended to the river, and the other side extended to the foot of the mountain, and it was obviously not practical to raid from other places, if he had to do it, I am afraid it would take several days to build a bridge or cut down the woods on the side of the mountain to open a road, and that would not necessarily be effective.

He carefully observed the unobstructed road leading to the gate of Icefield City in front of him, needless to say, that bastard of Rafa dared to show the road directly, there must be some traps or something like that, in short, it was definitely not possible to go to the front.

But if you can't do it on the front, and you can't do it on both sides, how can you attack?

Hammer somewhat regretted sending out the victory letter.

At this time, the sun was just right, and he saw at a glance the two tall figures on the city wall who were very similar in costumes, and she had seen Felihir before, so she immediately recognized that they were Rafa and Felihill.

Being stared at by the burning eyes of the knights around him, Hammer was a little anxious, but he didn't want to go to the witch military master, so he could only calmly order the migrant workers of Kosol City to bring up all the wood, preparing to fill the distance between the white line under his feet and Icefield City with a huge amount of wood.

Audair put down her binoculars and said to Rafa, "I know the Commander, she's from the Shield family. ”

"Is he your relative?" asked Rafa.

"Yes, she's my father's cousin. ”

"Ao Dai, you...... He didn't say it explicitly, but he thought she should understand what he meant.

"I am your guardian knight, Your Highness. ”

"I see. ”

As he spoke, the knights defending the city of Icefield had already begun to eat dry food, and the army in the distance seemed to be overly vigilant, and did not step into the trap at all, but forced the laborers to bring a lot of wood, did they want to use the wood to build a bridge over the trench, and then charge? I have to say, this may sound like a clumsy method, but it is indeed one of the methods used in the other side's immediate situation.

"Or I'll ......" Hedda couldn't wait, loading the bullet, and wanted to shoot.

"Don't startle the snakes, if they want to consume, then consume," Rafa snapped, took out the jerky and chewed it.

In a short time, the miserable faces of the people carried the backs of the horses, and the oxen and horses pulled them, and moved all kinds of timber of different sizes beyond the white line, and they were about to cross the white line and put the planks on the trench.

"The howitzer elevation angle is raised fifteen degrees, the shells are loaded, and fire is immediately fired. Rafa took a sip of the tin kettle with the wine and sighed silently, "Although you are innocent, if you don't die, we will die." ”

"Yes!"

The knights who operated the only howitzer began to move quickly, they had been itching and impatient for a long time, and now that they had been given the order to fire, not to mention how excited they were.

As the scale was raised fifteen degrees with the turn of the high and low machine, a tall knight picked up the cannonball and stuffed it into the chamber, and then the other knight immediately locked the latch and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

No matter how many times they heard such a cannon sound, everyone would still be shocked in their hearts, they really didn't know how His Highness Rafa had designed such a terrifying weapon.

The cannonball streaked a faint white smoke in the air, and then smashed into the middle of the horses that were carrying the timber, and many knights and horses were suddenly swept away by a huge shock wave.

The sound of the cannonballs exploding was a bit dull, and even though they were far away, the people on the city wall still felt the panic and panic of the opposing cavalry, and after throwing down some horses and human corpses, they retreated in a panic, most of them thought that Icefield City had used the power of witches.

"Did they just withdraw?" Knight Corso took out his binoculars and stared into the distance, and found that the flags in the entire column of the other party were a little confused, obviously frightened.

"No, they will not withdraw. ”

Felihill looked into the distance, frowning slightly.

"How do you know?" puzzled Rafa.

"You'll find out soon. ”
