Chapter 296: Captain Death

When Higg received the news from Butterfly Caiyun, it was already dusk, and his army had just arrived in a jungle outside Danube, half an hour away from Danube. Because the heavy rain ruined his marching plan, Higg was arranging for his troops to camp in this dense forest, so that the already exhausted soldiers could rest for the night, and he sneaked into the city at night to understand the enemy's situation, and then attacked the city early the next morning.

Higg did not expect that his helpless act of giving up Thomas's 5,000 soldiers would cause such a result.

Lu Faxi laughed excitedly: "Hahaha! Thomas's boy was so lucky, we were at a loss when we entered the country, and now he's helping us put together a baggage army! Without the logistics baggage troops, Korincha's side would be much safer! ”

"Butterfly Caiyun, are you sure it's more than three hundred ox carts?" Higg asked, however, not being happy.

"I counted it myself, three hundred and sixty cars!" Butterfly Caiyun said proudly.

"Then General Korincha is in danger!" Higg slapped the table and exclaimed.

"What did you say?" Lufasi asked suspiciously, "How did Thomas become a danger to Corincha when he robbed the enemy's baggage logistics army?" ”

Higg asked, "Mr. Lufasi, of the more than 300 trucks of supplies, more than 200 of which are baggage equipment, then let me ask you, how many troops are sent to attack the city?" ”

"If you follow the regular ratio, it should be seventy or eighty thousand!" Lu Fasi was shocked, "They actually sent so many people to attack a small city? ”

Higg said: "It will not take so many people to attack the small city, I estimate that after the defeat of their border guards, the marshal of the Second Army is afraid that he will be punished for his dereliction of duty, and is anxious to find our main force for a decisive battle, and the capture of the small city is just a piggybacking thing!" ”

"What does this have to do with Corincha?" Lufasi asked.

Higg asked worriedly, "What would you do if you were the main general of the other party's expedition and were besieging the city, and found that your baggage logistics had been wiped out by the enemy?" ”

"That depends!" "If the defenders of the city are strong, I may stop the siege and wait for new reinforcements; If the city defenses are weak, I will force the siege, but this is a last resort, so that even if I take the city, I will suffer heavy losses! ”

"Hey, waiting for reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements of the Second Army? Higg smiled, "Now that the entire Druid territory is empty, the Second Legion dares to send so many people to attack for the sake of a small city, which was originally to slap the swollen face and make a gesture to deter us, so that we can retreat!" ”

"No reinforcements!" Lu Faxi was shocked, "In this way, the enemy can only immediately attack the city with all his strength and get supplies!" Korincha's little force may be wiped out! ”

"It's not just Kolincha, if Korqin City is lost, there is no counterpoint, we will be completely surrounded by the enemy!" "The only option left for us is to flee!" ”

Die Caiyun was so anxious that she was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Thomas finally won a battle, but he didn't expect to get into a big disaster!" However, if the enemy has more reinforcements with heavy logistics, will Horqin City not be lost? ”

"That's different, the logistical baggage is important that it has not been destroyed, and the enemy may wait for the baggage to arrive before attacking the city, at least tomorrow morning! But if the enemy learns that their logistical baggage is gone, they will immediately attack the city regardless of casualties! ”

"But Madame said that this is a great achievement!" Die Caiyun said angrily, "Madame said that she would personally ask for credit for all the soldiers!" Why did I get to you and become a troublemaker, I'm here to deliver good news, not to report the funeral! ”

Higg patted Butterfly Caiyun on the shoulder and smiled, "When did I say blame Thomas?" If you don't pick up such a big bargain, you're a bastard! Rest assured, I remember his credit! ”

Butterfly Caiyun burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Really? ”

"If you get married, you won't believe my whole master's brother?" Higg smiled, "You've been flying for most of the day, go down and rest!" Rest up, I still have a task for you! ”

"Good!"

After Butterfly Caiyun left, Higg looked at Donauton City from afar, the largest city in the southeast of the Druids and the base camp of one of the three major Druid legions, which was in front of his eyes at this moment. Thomas's unauthorized actions undermined the strategic plan he and Lufasi had originally made, and his efforts to march in the past few days were about to come to naught.

"Herald, order the troops, cancel the rest, eat immediately, and assemble in an hour!" Higg suddenly shouted loudly.

"Slow!" Lufasi hurriedly stopped, "Boy, what are you going to do?" ”

Higg said: "Thomas has given the enemy no choice but to attack the city and destroy Korincha, so what choice do I have?" Siege in an hour! ”

"Are you crazy?" Lufasi was furious, "Go out and see, how many more can stand up?" From the silent forest to the entry, the soldiers starved for more than ten days; You have just fought a battle after entering the country, but immediately followed by a five-day rapid march, and now you call them to attack the city? Not to mention the lack of siege weapons, do you understand the enemy situation in the city? ”

"There's no time!" Higg said earnestly, "I know what you say, every one of them is a taboo for soldiers, but General Kolincha can't die, and Korqin City can't be lost!" You also know my situation, General Korincha is my mother's bodyguard, following my father to fight everywhere, with great achievements, he is not only the only remaining officer of the Fifth Army now, but also my relatives, I don't know how to face my father and mother without him! General Lufasi, I know that I am selfish and willful, but you let me die and not save me, I can't do it! I decided, personally as the captain of the death squad. ”

Bang Dang - Jesse, who was delivering food, fell to the ground with the tray in his hand, but ignored it and asked, "You want to join the death squad?" ”

Higg squatted down, picked up the food that fell on the ground, wiped it casually, put it in his mouth, and said, "If you were besieged, I would also form a death squad and be the captain myself!" ”

Jesse asked, expressionlessly, "Are you going to die?" ”

Higg laughed, "I don't know either! Many times, I have been hovering on the edge of death, but the Grim Reaper has not taken me, the last time I was about to die, you saw it! ”

"Okay!" "I'm going to gather all the officers for a meeting!" ”

……

"Ben Shuai knows that everyone is working hard, and I am just like you! But now is the moment of our survival, and we can survive by taking the city, because there are tens of thousands of troops coming from our rear. The main force of the city of Donauton has been transferred, and there are only a few thousand old and weak people in the city, and if they reach the top of the city, the enemy army will inevitably collapse. Ben Shuai needs a 2,000-strong death squad to climb the city, and Ben Shuai is the captain of the daredevils, rushing to the front of you. Those who follow Ben Shuai to the city, whether officers or soldiers, elves or dwarves, are Ben Shuai's brothers, his family, are Ben Shuai's relatives, and Fuxing City is Ben Shuai's fief and his home! …… If you are willing to join the death squad, you will immediately gather around Ben Shuai! ……”

After some mobilization, the exhausted army seemed to gradually come to life, and a dozen officers who signed up first walked to Hig's side, and then, one after another, dwarven warriors, elven archers, and phantom archers walked out and gathered around him.

More and more people gathered, and after more than ten minutes, there were nearly 2,000 people gathered around Higg, and the number was still increasing......

"General Lu Fasi, you lead the others, follow the death squad to cover, and leave it to you!" After Higg finished speaking, he turned to all the daredevils and said, "Go to the city with Ben Shuai!" ”

The death squad of more than 2,000 people, under the leadership of Higg, carried the newly made ladder and under the cover of night, quietly attacked the city of Danube, three or four thousand meters away. The composition of this team is mixed, dwarves, elves, phantom marksmen, officers of all ranks, and there is only one goal, which is to climb the city walls.

The city of Daunauton is a fortified city, and under the walls grows a secret thorn bush, this poisonous thorn bush is the outer protection of the forest nation and most of the druids, extending to a distance of thirty meters outside the city walls! The daredevils did not dare to be careless, and used the knife and axe in their hands to split through the headache-inducing thorn bushes, and slowly approached the city wall.

"Woo~" horn sounded......

"Enemy attack!" The screams of the sentinels rang out everywhere.

Higg cast a steel-skinned magic spell on hundreds of daredevils around him, and the Phantasmal Bow fired three arrows, shooting the trumpet-blowing soldiers on the walls of the city along with the two sentinels down into the city......

"Woohoo! ~" The horn of attack behind him sounded, and all the daredevils shouted "Kill ......"

The enemy on the walls began to shoot arrows and began to move their troops incessantly.

In an instant, Higg first climbed the city wall, more than a dozen arrows and a few lightning bolts shot towards him, boom, a huge hellish fireball, exploded in front of Higg, shooting down all the arrows and lightning, and the heat wave overturned several dwarves who were surrounding Higg, and their clothes, hair, and beard immediately burst into flames.

The fireball illuminated the wall within a radius of 100 meters, revealing the enemy's position on the enemy's wall, and the elven archers and phantom shooters took advantage of this brief light to bend their bows and shoot arrows at the wall.

"The marshal has already landed in the city, kill!" The bright light of the fire allowed everyone to see Higg ascend the city wall.

The arrows shot down from the city wall became more and more dense, but there was a night cover curtain, so that those elven archers on the city wall were not easy to find their targets.

One death squad after another fell among the thorns, and the ladder finally reached the city wall. The main army led by Lufasi also followed the death squads, the elven archers and phantom archers began to shoot arrows at the city walls, and the dwarven warriors followed behind the daredevils and rushed towards more than thirty ladders.

At the back of the line were dwarven slaves and artisans, each with torches in their hands, shouting, "Kill!" from outside the enemy's range. Kill! Kill! ......" makes it impossible for the enemy to tell how many people are attacking the city.

Although the Phantom Shooter can attack from a distance outside the range of the opponent's Elven Shooter, their superior firepower has attracted the attention of the opponent's ballista, and they have fired at the Phantom Shooter*.

The reaction within Danube was swift, and the Deadwood warriors joined the fray, tangling with the dwarven warriors who had climbed the walls. More and more daredevils climbed the city wall, and more and more enemy reinforcements came to reinforce them, and there was no technical and tactical fighting, it was all melee.

Armed with the Prophet's sword, Higg initially rushed left and right on the city wall like chopping vegetables, but with the addition of the Deadwood Warriors, the situation slowly froze.

Higg no longer entangled with his opponent, and fought his way towards the city gate, and when he climbed the tower, he was surrounded by a dozen dead wood warriors, and they all stretched out vines from his body to entangle Higg.

The Prophet's sword, which was as sharp as clay, severed the vines one by one, but more vines entwined around him, much to Higg's annoyance.

"Reinforcement me!" Higg shouted, and several arrows whizzed down on the Deadwood Warrior, but the Deadwood Warrior only shook a few times before winding around Sig again, leaving Sigg overwhelmed.

A centurion with a dozen dwarven warriors reinforced him and shouted to him, "Young marshal, leave it to us!" With that, he led the crowd to kill the Deadwood Warriors.

Higg unleashed the crowd at the Deadwood Guards to slow down, then made a detour to the gatehouse.

More than a hundred druids were preoccupied with summoning the Deadwood Warriors to fight the enemy forces that had landed in the city, not oblivious to the fact that Dohig had arrived.

Without hesitation, Higg accelerated his sword and slashed into the druid phalanx, and as soon as he struck, the two druids were cut in two by the Prophet's sword, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. The dozen or so druids around him looked frightened, turned into brown bears in a panic, and immediately slapped their palms at Higg. The other druids remained indifferent and continued to summon the Deadwood Warriors.

These angry brown bears are not those junior druids when they first entered, those druids can only turn into black bears or grizzly bears, and they can be in charge of the city defense in the base camp, they are definitely not the same strength, at least above the brown bears, they roared and surrounded Higg in the middle, frantically waving powerful bear paws, and the whole gatehouse sawdust flew sideways.

Higg was so embarrassed that he could only block with the Prophet's Sword, and he didn't even have a chance to use magic. The body has been slapped twice by the bear's paw, even if the magical armor is protected, it also makes him full of blood and blood, and the prophet sword has also cut off several bear paws, however, the brown bear that is missing one hand is even more violent, roaring and slapping it down with the other hand.

The brown bears fought in a haphazard manner, but each blow did not dare to be careless, and if he was shot hard or hit the vital point, he would inevitably be seriously injured and then torn to pieces by them.

A dozen more daredevils broke through the defenses outside, and with their wounds all over them, they rushed towards the brown bears and the druids, and several brown bears immediately abandoned Higg and met them.

Higg's pressure suddenly decreased, and he hurriedly cast a group retardation technique, jumped out of the encirclement of the brown bear, and then concentrated his strength, towards the chaotic Dafa between the brown bear and the druids, and the several brown bears who were about to slash at themselves suddenly turned around, and waved their palms at the druids behind them, and several druids flew out seven or eight meters away in an instant, and the nearby druids were taken aback, and the entire druid phalanx was in chaos. The brown bears who slapped their hands also immediately reacted that they had fallen into the opponent's chaos technique, a magic skill that would make the enemy temporarily delirious, and attack the nearest target around them regardless of whether they were friends or enemies. However, this magic skill does not have a high probability of success, the chaos target is limited, and it only lasts for a moment.

In the distance, on a high platform in the middle of the city, a raging fire was ignited, and the flames soared into the sky......

A smile appeared on Higg's tired face, and while the enemy was panicking, he desperately ran to the edge of the tower, and shouted loudly towards Lu Faxi's position: "Beacon! Beacon ......~"
