In the evening, after completing the assignment, Higg stood on the high arrow tower, looking at the opposite bank, and the opposite position was not encamped, but was busy processing the trees that appeared to be there, and making a fire for cooking.

"General Higg!" The messenger below, "The scouts have found out that the new arrivals have a total of 30,000 troops, including 25,000 infantry, 5,000 crossbowmen, and a hundred magicians. ”

"Continue to find out when the other party's baggage troops will arrive!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

With only these 100 magicians, Higg has a headache, and he himself will not fight against magic with the other party's magician group tonight.

It seems that the other side is in a hurry for reinforcements, and did not wait for the midnight last night to start attacking.

Higg, tonight's infantry commander is Shanter, the bow commander is Charlie, and Snoring is the commander of the reserve force, waiting for reinforcements.

It's not a cloudy day, but there is still half a bright moon in the sky tonight, which is much better than the complete darkness of last night.

More than 30 catapults on Higg's position began to throw large pieces of stone bullets at the opponent's position in turn, and more than 30 ballistae also pressed to a position 60 meters away from the river bank.

The position where the other side set up the pontoon bridge is still the same as last night's three positions, but the soldiers who are preparing to swim along the entire coast, these infantry and light cavalry are mobile, and it is not known where they will forcibly swim across the river.

The three pontoons were erected with tall shields to cover the sappers' work on the bridge, and these huge shields could block the attacks of the ballistas, but not the stone bullets of the catapults.

The catapult constantly poured stone bullets on the shore of the three pontoon bridges, but the extremely low hit force could also cause interference and great psychological pressure on the opponent. The shield array was occasionally stoneballed, and the ballista carts and longbowmen on the turret immediately rained arrows at the defenceless shield army until the opposing shield array was rearranged.

Fifty meters wide river, coupled with the distance of thirty meters from the arrow tower to the river bank, this distance has exceeded the limit of the effective shooting of the crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen of the Hig position can effectively shoot at the opponent's river bank on the arrow tower as high as ten meters high, but the opponent has no way to take himself.

The infantry and light cavalry finally moved, and began to force the crossing on the southernmost bank of the river, and the Saudis immediately sent 2,000 infantry and 500 crossbowmen to reinforce them. The griffons hovering in the sky also began to attack first, but tonight they were not destined to be so lucky, the faint moonlight made their huge figures the target of crossbowmen, and all they could do, the few griffon legions, was only a harassing attack.

The presence of the turret renders the opposing crossbowmen useless, while your own team is free to shoot at the opposite shore and in the air.

Suddenly, three arrow towers ignited huge fireballs, and the opposing magician finally dispatched! Attacking mages generally have a range of 50 to 100 meters, but if they venture to attack on the riverbank, they will inevitably cause the ballista to retaliate frantically.

Several crossbow bolts were fired at the opposite shore of the burning turret, but they were taken down by the high shields. The shield array then retreated backwards, not daring to move forward. The opponent's advantage is the magician, and his own advantage is the ballista and catapult, although the magician has better mobility, but after all, it does not have the ultra-long range of these two baggage weapons.

Despite the heavy losses under the pressure of the catapults, the three pontoon bridges were still erected in the middle, and it was the critical moment!

"General Shante, immediately order a thousand crossbowmen and five thousand infantry to move closer to the north, the enemy is ready to swim across from the north, you go there yourself!" Higg ordered.

"Yes, General!"

The attack on the south was a feint and a tentative attack, and this was a very obvious thing, and the generals on both sides would not dwell on these common senses, but what they wanted was how to cross the river in one go, or how to defend it strictly. The relationship between the spear and the shield The spear is active, the shield is passive, and if you want to be passive or not, you must know what the enemy thinks.

Three more turrets caught fire, but the soldiers who had learned from the experience quickly extinguished the fires.

Higg was very annoyed and bullied himself for not having a group of magicians? Higg left the command position, walked to the shore of a pontoon bridge in the middle, sacrificed the water spirit bead, cast a wave of turbulence, a huge wave of water rushed to the pontoon bridge in the middle of the Jiandao River, the water wave slapped on the pontoon bridge and the shield, making a huge sound, more than a dozen shield soldiers were instantly washed into the river, the pontoon bridge also staggered, almost falling apart, the sappers protected by the shield quickly stepped up repair, but looked up to see a rain of arrows covered.

Several thunderbolts of ice on the other side shot towards Higg, and the guards around Higg immediately stepped forward to protect them with shields, but they were trembling by the thunderbolt ice, and the shield also fell, and Higg immediately returned to the position of the main general.

He alone can't fight against the entire group of magicians, but Higg needs to give the other party a certain amount of deterrence, otherwise the other party's magicians will attack his own arrow tower with impunity. Higg's shot did make the other party's magicians restrain a lot.

The powerful Higg of the magician regiment knows very well that even if it is terrifying to add auxiliary magic skills to his troops, a magician's group blessing technique can increase the lethality of fifty soldiers, if a division is doing this kind of auxiliary small action, then, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the other side will be terrifying.

"General, the other party's 15,000 infantry is forcibly crossing the river at the same time in three ways in the north!" The messenger came to report.

"General Snowlin, you take over here, and I will personally bring troops over for reinforcements!" Higg said.

Charlie immediately said: "General Higg, you are the main general, you can't leave the Chinese army, let me go!" With General Shante here, he will definitely be able to hold on! ”

"Alright! Charlie, you lead two thousand infantry and five hundred crossbowmen to reinforce! "Order: Let Rogson send a thousand cavalry behind General Shante to kill the enemy who crosses the river, and not let anyone leave the river alive!" ”

The two sides of the Marshall River, which is six kilometers long, from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, are fiercely clashing, the southern end is a feint, and the two sides are more stalemate with each other, and the three swimming areas in the northern section, the enemy is like three sharp swords, straight into the west bank of the Marshall River.

The 5,000 infantry led by Shante and the previous crossbowmen had already arrived first, and they also brought a dozen ballistae to set up defenses along the coast.

Fifteen thousand infantry, at the sound of the opponent's horn, split into three lines and forcibly swam towards the west bank.

Shante's infantry phalanx was pushed to a position only twenty meters from the river, which was the limit of the opponent's crossbowmen.

Shante also corresponded to three key defensive positions, with the crossbowmen at the rear of the infantry phalanx.

The vanguard of the enemy infantry who had entered the water slowly swam towards the riverbank, and the arrow towers and arrows were fired into the river, and the crossbowmen behind the infantry phalanx used their longbows to bend their bows and shoot upwards at these three key areas, and suddenly the river was full of wailing.

"Royal griffon! Pay attention to air defense!

Dozens of griffons followed and began to dive into the tower, and the tower's crossbowmen had to abandon the river and turn to the air to deal with the griffin legions.

The first three-way infantry to land was blocked by the horse rejection pile, and after paying the price of more than a hundred people, they opened the fortifications of the horse rejection pile and swarmed towards the infantry phalanx.

"Kill!" As soon as the Saudis gave the order, they took the lead in boarding the infantry on the riverbank, and the two sides immediately got together, and in just an instant, the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides took the lives of more than 100 people.

Although Shante's infantry waited for work, after all, they lacked combat experience, and lacked the auxiliary blessing of magicians, and lost the suppression of the arrow tower, and gradually fell behind. More and more infantry began to land, gradually controlling the twenty-meter range of the river bank, and Shante's infantry phalanx was forced to suppress the bottom of the arrow tower, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat under the arrow tower, and neither of them gave a step back.

"Kill-" More than 300 cavalry men from each side charged along the banks of the river in three places, and slashed at the infantry who crossed the riverbank. On the second night of the blockade, Higg had to show his first chapter card, the Rogson Cavalry.

These cavalrymen were not rookies, they had been carefully selected by the Saudis from the cavalry regiments of Colenwa, and these cavalry quickly charged the landed infantry along the western bank of the Marshall River, and the momentum was overwhelming, and most of the soldiers were killed or driven back into the river with a single charge, and the infantry of Shante quickly seized the lost phalanx position again, and got a temporary respite.

But the battle in the air was still raging, and the griffons continued to fall from the sky, killed or wounded, and were immediately cut into pulp by the infantry phalanx of Shante, and the crossbowmen suffered heavy losses, constantly calling for help and replenishment. Fortunately, Charlie's reinforcements arrived in time.

After the first wave of Rogson's cavalry, the Heli infantry calmed down for a while, and once again braved the arrows of longbows and the stone bullets of catapults, and forced their way towards the west bank.

Higg was not idle here, he came to the pontoon bridge arrow tower that was about to be erected, and shouted: "Order, arrow tower suppress the opposite bank, shoot!" ”

The crossbowmen on the arrow tower immediately shot a rain of arrows towards the opposite bank.

Higg quickly came to the bank of the river, sacrificed the earth spirit bead, a boulder top magic skill shot into the air, condensed into a huge mountain stone in mid-air, and then this stone weighing tens of thousands of catties quickly fell from mid-air, smashed in the center of the pontoon bridge, suddenly splashed, wood debris shot away, Hig didn't look at it and quickly withdrew to the bottom of the arrow tower, a few lightning bolts immediately split where he was standing just now, so that Hig had to break out in a cold sweat.

The first pontoon bridge was cut off at the waist, and fell into the river along with the shield men and sappers working on the bridge, and they were immediately shot by the arrow tower without shield protection. The soldiers on and behind the arrow tower thundered with joy, and their morale skyrocketed.

What Higg wants is this half-crossed effect, which can not only destroy the enemy, but also combat the enemy's arrogance and greatly boost his own morale.

This super-energy magic skill also consumed a lot of Higg's mana, but he couldn't let the other side complete the pontoon bridge, which meant that the enemy's heavy cavalry and heavy infantry would be able to reach his riverbank position, and Higg couldn't let such a horrific thing happen.
