Chapter 100: The Tired Division

In the morning, the river gradually calmed down, and the east bank of the Marshall River was assembled again, with the infantry phalanx in front, the cavalry phalanx on both flanks, and the crossbowmen in the rear.

Aside from the fact that Higg noticed that there were a lot of catapults and ballistae missing, the other party did not behave unusually. It seems that Snorlin must have succeeded in destroying most of the catapults and ballistas, but Snowlin's own fate is unknown.

Standing in front of the Chinese army camp, at the final military mobilization, Higg said to the generals and soldiers in front of him: "Generals, warriors, Snoring attacked the local camp last night and has successfully destroyed most of the baggage. General Snowlin's life and death are unknown, and he has set an example for us! Today's battle will be very hard, maybe you will die, I will die, but for the sake of General Snowlin, for the sake of the three hundred brave men, we will never allow any enemy to break through our defenses, unless they step on our corpses. Everyone, do it yourself! ”

"Kill! Kill!! The cry shook the sky.

……

Another day of hand-to-hand combat, with no concessions on both sides. There are no catapults, no ballistas, only people remain. The enemy's infantry, hussars, and even crossbowmen, frantically paving the way with corpses, rushed up to the west bank of the river again and again, not even bothering to erect pontoon bridges.

Shante led the last more than 8,000 infantry, and Charlie led 4,000 crossbowmen to form a formation on the west bank of the river, defending it to the death, but also suffered heavy losses and was covered in blood.

Except for Higg's guards, there was no reserve force, and even Rogson's cavalry had to rush out from behind the woods, charging again and again on the west bank of the river.

The crossbowmen and magicians on the other side even ignored the melees of the two armies, shooting crossbows and attacking magically.

The Marshall River was dyed red, the six-thousand-meter-long river was red, a large number of corpses were floating on the river, and a large number of soldiers' corpses and war horses' corpses were also piled up on the west bank of the river, which was very terrifying.

In the face of death, all people are numb.

The soldiers on the east bank were red-eyed, and in their minds, there was only one way to cross the river, cross the river, and cross the river again......

The soldiers and generals in the West Bank who were fighting in the melee were also red-eyed, and in their red-eyed eyes, there was only killing, killing, and killing......

Higg underestimated the madness of the enemy, and the commander-in-chief on the east bank underestimated the enemy's determination to stop the attack.

The fierce fighting continued into the evening, and the patience of both sides finally relaxed, and it seemed that the battle was gradually quelled by a very tacit understanding.

The casualty reports were dismal, there were less than three thousand infantry capable of fighting, more than fifteen hundred crossbowmen, and the cavalry was better, but there were also more than eight hundred losses, plus the previous losses and the three hundred that Snorling had taken away, and only half of the cavalry capable of fighting.

Everyone in the Chinese army camp has a sad face!

Rogson stood up and said: "Generals, although our losses are great, the enemy's losses are even greater, and they have as many losses on the river bank as ours, but those who die in the river are incalculable!" ”

Shante also said: "In addition to the 5,000 heavy cavalry and heavy infantry who can't cross the river, the other side can cross the river with less than 10,000 people, even if they break through the defensive position, how many troops can they support!" ”

Charlie, who was in charge of the construction of Fuxing City, said with a gloomy face: "It's just that our casualties are too great, after this battle, the more than 20,000 people we brought, there are already only these, counting the wounded soldiers who can heal after the war and return to the battlefield, there are only about 10,000, and there is still one day to hold on to tomorrow, it will be even more bleak, and all the belongings that we have spent nearly a year in Fuxing City are thrown here!" ”

Higg said: "I promised Kolenwa directly, and I didn't expect the enemy to be so crazy. Hold on, and hold on to tomorrow for another day. Now both sides are tired divisions, but they must not let up and must prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night. Nicole, the other generals are tired of killing, you are in charge of night defense, is it okay? ”

On the empty and calm Marshall Plains, the moon gradually rounded, brightened, and mild. But behind the calm and gentleness, there is a faint murderous lurking.

There was a loud whistling sound from the sky, and the piccolo that Higg hung on his waist shook slightly, and Higg immediately rushed out of the Chinese military camp tent and looked towards the sky.

The night sky was exceptionally bright, and under the moonlight, a huge thunderbird hovered in the night sky, and a huge shadow fell on the undulating river. The Thunderbird flew lower and lower in the air, and on the back of the Thunderbird, a woman's figure was sitting and playing the piccolo, and the melodious sound of the flute pierced the dark night sky, echoing with the birdsong and cheers.

The Thunderbird landed gently beside Higg, and in the light of the moonlight and the bonfire, Higg clearly recognized that the scarred Thunderbird was the Thunder who had fought the griffin in the sky yesterday, and the woman on his back was the Blue Fairy who had not heard anything in the past five years.

Lan Xian'er was still wearing that blue dress, still with a twisted pigtail tied with thin red rope, no change from what she saw in the Valley of Flowers five years ago, her watery eyes looked at Higg, and with a charming smile, she jumped from Ray's back to Higg and said, "It's been five years, Hig, you've finally grown up!" ”

Xige was stunned, then stared at Lan Xian'er and said with a smile: "I have grown up, but you have not changed at all!" ”

Lan Xian'er also said in surprise: "Am I not at the right time? I saw your embarrassed look, hehe! ”

"Hehe, it's good to be alive!" Higg laughed, "If you don't come again, it's hard to say!" ”

Higg said, walked to Lan Xian'er's side, looked around him carefully, and then turned around Lei again, Lei also stared at Higg, his huge eyes and bones were spinning, but he didn't have the fierce gaze he had when they first met.

"Found Jenny?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "I'm here to ask for sin!" ”

Higg smiled bitterly: "Found it, it's hard to say!" I'll talk to you about it when I find time! ”

Nicole, who was in charge of the night guard, rushed over, stared at Lan Xian'er, and said, "General Higg, why haven't I heard you say that you still have such a young and beautiful friend of the opposite sex?" ”

"Hehe, my friend and Shante, Blue Fairy, saved our lives!" Higg said with a smile, then turned to Blue Fairy and said, "Nicole, friends who have been born and died together!" ”

"Enemy attack!" Woo woo, a loud horn sounded sharply at the northern end of the defensive line!

"Enemy attack!" Woo woo, a loud horn sounded sharply at the southern end of the defensive line!

"Enemy attack!" Woo woo, a loud horn sounded sharply in the middle of the defensive line!

…………

"Nicole! You are in charge of the south, I am in charge of the north and the middle, don't fight the enemy until the other generals have reinforcements! Higg hurriedly ordered.

"Lan Xian'er, I'll talk about Jenny when I come back!" After speaking, he turned around and led his three hundred guards to rush to the riverbank!

The enemy does not have many troops left, and it is impossible to launch a full-scale attack, and as for where the feint attack will be and where the main attack will be, it is still uncertain, so we can only be on guard along the river first.

"Goo-" A huge birdsong sounded, and I saw the blue fairy sitting on Ray's back, flying rapidly along the sky over the Marshall River.

Higg didn't have time to pay attention to the current Ray and Blue Fairy, he had to do his best to stabilize the forward position and find out the enemy's main attack position before his main forces were assembled! He knew that there were only more than 1,000 river defense troops on guard along the coast tonight, and they were divided into six thousand meters on the west bank of the river, and if they were attacked by the main force, they would soon be broken through.

Higg led the Guards and deployed along the river all the way north. Nicole led 300 infantry and 100 crossbowmen to the southern end.

Higg soon reached the northern section of the line, only to find that there was only sporadic entanglement here, and the enemy's main forces were not in this direction.

"Higg, the southernmost point, the main direction of attack is the southernmost point!" Blue Fairy sat on Ray's back, flew to Higg's side, and hurriedly said.

"Oh no, Nicole......" Higg exclaimed.

Then he turned around and said to the herald: "Immediately order Rogson to lead a thousand cavalry to reinforce the southernmost point, from now on, you can't reach the main battlefield in ten minutes, and you will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes, General!" After the herald finished speaking, he got on his horse and turned around and left.

Higg continued to say to another herald: "Order, General Shante with two thousand infantry and a thousand crossbowmen to reinforce the southernmost point, and must reach the main battlefield within twenty minutes, otherwise, severe punishment will not be paid!" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Order, General Charles will lead the remaining manpower, deploy along the river, lose the position, and punish severely!"

"Yes, General!"

"Blue Fairy, you ask Ray to help Nicole first, and I'll be there later!" Higg said to Blue Fairy with an embarrassed wry smile.

Just met, and before I said a few words, I was so embarrassed by my opponent, it was really embarrassing. The enemy chose to attack when there were still three hours before dawn, and launched an attack when his side was most sleepy and relaxed, and Higg did not want to send more people to guard, but if this was the case, the soldiers who had been fighting all day would not be allowed to rest, and it would be too unreasonable.

The opponent is so unreasonable!

Higg galloped to the southern end of the battlefield, and the enemy had already landed and was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers on duty, led by Nicole. Nicole herself is not an infantry general, strictly speaking, she is more of a magician, and she is not good at this kind of hand-to-hand combat, so although there are not too many people coming ashore, she is also very embarrassed.

Fortunately, there was thunder in mid-air and harassing the soldiers crossing the river in the rain of arrows, which slowed down the speed of the soldiers on the other bank to land a lot, and Nicole insisted on the river defense position so far that it has not been lost.

Higg, who had just arrived, was furious, ignoring the consumption of mana, and a terrifying wave slapped directly into the river, and on the surface of the Marshall River, a huge wave five or six meters high suddenly set off, rushing towards the soldiers crossing the river.

Higg didn't look at the river, quickly raised the reins and drew his sword, rushed into the riverbank position, and fought with the two or three hundred people who landed on the other side!

There was also the sound of cavalry hurrying horse hooves behind him, and Rogson's cavalry also arrived, and the gap at the southern end was quickly blocked by Higg's quick response, and the two sides began to entangle together again, like a meat grinder, collecting the lives of the soldiers on both sides!
