Chapter 295: Strange Puzzle
"Boom......" The neighing of a war horse came from a distance, no, from the druid's Chinese camp.
"Little White Cloud!" Corincha's first feeling was that because there were no cavalry in the forest country and the druids, there were no war horses, where did the neighing of the war horses come from, and then shouted "Hahaha, our reinforcements have arrived, and the reinforcements of the young marshal have arrived!" cough cough cough ......"
In the night, many white flying shadows swooped down towards the druid's Chinese army, and fought with the druid's Chinese army.
This time, Stephen attacked the city with all his might, desperately invested, and threw almost all his forces into the siege battle, leaving only a few hundred centaurs to guard around the Chinese army. In addition, Corincha blocked the city gates, so there was no need to worry about breaking through the city and counterattacking, so Stephen's Chinese army had no defense force except for the hundreds of druids who were commanding the Deadwood Warriors to fight.
A cloud of white shadows swooped down quickly, and it wasn't until he got close that Stephen could see that it was Pegasus, and on Pegasus' back was a female elf warrior in tight armor and armed with a machete. The centaurs didn't even have time to throw their spears before the Pegasus arrived in front of their eyes, and they were slaughtered by hundreds of Pegasus warriors before they could organize resistance.
Stephen was taken aback, Pegasus does exist in the legends of the Forest Country, but he has not really seen it, it is said that this is the descendant of the Hidden Family, and has been scattered in the territory of the Forest Country and the Druids.
"Madness!" Without the centaur guarded Chinese camp, the druids can rely on themselves to fight the Pegasus warriors, and they basically have no magic power of their own anyway.
Hundreds of druids turned into big bears, black, brown, and white, fighting with the Pegasus warriors swooping in the air.
Hundreds of Pegasus and hundreds of bears collided violently in an instant, and in just one round, more than a dozen people on both sides fell to the ground and died, and the Pegasus warriors did not entangle with the druids, but returned to the air to assemble again.
When the druids thought that those Pegasus warriors were coming down again, they were surprised and surprised to find that they had regrouped and rushed towards the battlefield hundreds of meters ahead. Although the number of these Pegasus warriors is not too much, a sudden attack from behind will cause the formation of their own army that is attacking the city with all their might, and the first to bear the brunt is the elven archer with the weakest defense at the end of the siege echelon.
"Kill it!" Stephen ordered the druids, who had gone all mad, that he would not tolerate the fact that he had lost so many people in battle and that the situation had been reversed by an overwhelming margin.
The addition of the Pegasus warriors made Corincha's pressure drop sharply, and the Deadwood Warriors lost the control of the druids and couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, and the Pegasus warriors rushed into the camp of the opposing elven archers, and also made themselves no longer suppressed by bows and arrows.
Although it was not Higg's main army to come to the rescue, this new force that did not know where it came from gave the soldiers defending the city hope to survive, and the belief in survival was like an oil lamp that was about to be extinguished in everyone's heart.
The situation was almost reversed, and the two sides entered a complete melee, and the elven archers under the city walls, having exhausted all their arrows, also joined the hand-to-hand combat. The originally muddy ground under the city was covered with a thick layer of corpses, and the city walls were almost turned red; The knife and axe are blunt, and you can pick up one at will......
With more than half of the forces on both sides already lost, and success or failure has reached the most critical moment, Pegasus has given up the elven archer without arrows, and turned to the city wall, using his maneuver and agility to maneuver in the tragic hand-to-hand combat array. Hundreds of big bears of different colors stepped on the corpses of their soldiers and came to the bottom of the city wall, and they picked up the corpses that tripped themselves one after another, and smashed them on the city wall, smashing the enemy and the enemy who were fighting to the ground.
The defenders of the city had stabilized their positions slightly, but with the addition of these big bears, they came to naught in an instant......
"Beacon! General, Beacon Fire! The messenger ran towards Stephen, shouting before he could reach him.
"What beacon?" An angry Stephen said angrily.
"The base camp, the city of Donauton, was attacked, and beacons were lit everywhere!" The messenger shouted.
The beacon fire is the enemy's situation, and the beacon fire is the order! Stephen couldn't be clearer, he stared at the fire on the top of a high mountain dozens of kilometers away in the distance, hesitated for a long time, and then said angrily, "Where is the beacon fire?" Nonsense, messing with the hearts of our army, pull it out and cut it off! β
"Slow!" The staff officer of the accompanying army hurriedly stopped, "Think twice, general! β
"But we have one more hour at most, and we can take Horqin City!" Stephen said disapprovingly.
"General, if the Donauton base camp is occupied, even if we take a hundred Korqin cities, we will not be able to escape the blame! Don't forget, our families are there! β
Stephen was shocked, and after pondering for a while, he said in frustration: "Eh, Mingjinβcollect the troops!" β
"Dangdang! Dangdang! A hurried gong sounded.
The attacking and defending sides who were fighting were all surprised, and the enemy camp took the initiative to collect troops at the moment when the city was broken, which was simply incredible.
The most annoying thing is that the offensive and defensive soldiers paid such a big price, but they were found back by a few gongs.
But when the gong sounds, the army's spirit has dispersed, even if you are unwilling, but if you don't retreat, a lot of people will retreat. Therefore, no one will disobey Mingjin's order to withdraw his troops.
The loser is full of disgruntled anger, but the winner has no cheers! It's so miserable, and I don't have the strength to cheer!
Korincha, who was gathering his men to prepare to enter the street battle, stared at the enemy army in the distance and shed tears, the entire vanguard battalion had two thousand phantom shooters, two thousand battle dwarves totaling four thousand, and after this battle, the phantom shooters were killed more than 600 and seriously injured more than 500, and the dwarf warriors were even more miserable, with more than 900 killed and more than 600 seriously wounded. In the entire pioneer battalion, there were only 1,200 people left who could still stand.
Although the enemy is even more miserable, their way of fighting with their lives for the city has cost at least 10,000 more than 20,000 lives, of course, the worst is the elven archer, who has almost lost everything, but, after all, this is the territory of the druids, and the enemy can change blood at any time, and their own soldiers, if they die, there will be one less. Corincha had no joy of victory at all, and these casualty figures were difficult for him to accept, especially those phantom shooters, many of whom were old comrades who had followed him for forty years, who had followed Princess Jenny to the present, and had not fallen through countless battles, but who had been wiped out in this small battle that he even looked down on, how could he not bring tears to his eyes.
"Young Marshal, where are you?" Corincha fell to his knees and cried out to the sky.
"Where's Mr. Higg?" A sweet voice asked in a loud voice, "Who knows where Mr. Higg is?" β
Colin looked anxious as a female elf on a silver-white pegasus rode around the battlefield to inquire about Sigg's whereabouts.
"What are you looking for the young marshal?" Corinth slowly got up and looked at the sky and asked, "Who are you?" β
"You are indeed Mr. Higg's subordinates, and I've been looking for you for days!" The beautiful girl in the sky said, "My name is Marisa, a subordinate of His Majesty Benjamin, and I have an urgent military situation to tell Mr. Higg, please tell me the general, where is he?" β
"I don't know where the young marshal is!" "I'm the vanguard officer, General Marisa, what's the urgent military situation that you can't tell me?" β
"No, it's at stake, I have to see him in person!" Marissa said firmly, "The general has no news of him at all?" β
Corincha said: "A few days ago, when I had just crossed the border, the young marshal ordered me to quickly capture the city of Korqin and hold it for four days, and today is the last day!" General Marissa came to our aid to save us from total annihilation! If it weren't for General Marisa's timely reinforcements, I'm afraid I would have failed the trust of the young marshal! β
"You're General Korincha?" Marissa exclaimed, "I've heard of you, you almost became the marshal of our forest country!" It's a pity that Mr. Higg won't let you go, otherwise, even I would be your subordinate! β
"General Korincha!" The messenger arrived, "The enemy has withdrawn!" β
Corincha and Marissa hurriedly looked at the enemy camp outside the city, and through the hazy moonlight, they saw the enemy army pulling out of the camp overnight, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Just an hour after the end of the battle, the enemy hurried away, what does this mean? In this desperate struggle, which one is not exhausted, and which one is not a little wounded, just marching at night with a wounded and tired?
The movements of the enemy army made Kolincha feel very strange, and victory was in sight, but he retreated bravely; Regardless of the exhaustion, the battalion full of wounded soldiers, insisting on marching at night, and walking in such a hurry, there can only be one reason why the enemy can react in this way, and that is that there is a big problem in their rear, and the lethality of this problem makes it necessary for them to return to the reinforcements with all their strength under all circumstances.
Unfortunately, he was unable to pursue, and the gate was blocked, so he could only watch the enemy's army disappear into the night.
"General Korincha, I know where Mr. Higg is!" Marissa said with a smile on her face.
"Where?" Corincha asked suspiciously, why is this girl elf so confident now, who didn't know anything just now?
"Donaudon!" Marissa said in amazement.
"What?" Corincha was shocked, "That is the base camp of the enemy's Second Army, the young marshal only has more than 20,000 horses, and he can attack a big city, the base camp of the legion?" Although Korincha said this, he was still shocked in his heart, because Higg was very likely to do this, this bold fellow, Kolincha has seen a lot, and every time he makes a move, he makes the enemy unpredictable.
"The strength of the base camp has already fallen out of you, how can it be impossible?" Marissa said.
Corincha asked: "The second army of the druids has at least 300,000 troops, and there are at least 150,000 troops stationed in the base camp, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people fighting with us, so there are at least 80,000 or 90,000 troops in the base camp, as well as the city fortifications, and the young marshal dares to attack the city of Donauton with this amount of troops?" β
"Hey, hey! Where are there so many troops in the base camp of the Second Army? Marissa said, "The druids have a total of three legions, with a total strength of one million, but they have sent 300,000 expeditionary forces to the forest country, although it is impossible to recruit all from one legion, but the second legion is in charge of the defense of the south, and they must be the main force of the expeditionary force." Hehe, General Kolincha, do you imagine how many troops can there be in the base camp? But you transferred out 60,000 at once, and the rest in the city will not exceed 20,000 at most! β
"Three hundred thousand expeditionary forces?" Corincha was surprised, "The young marshal knows this? β
Maria laughed, "Of course he knows, because the druids sent troops to the forest country, and he planned it in the first place!" β
"Oh my God!" Corincha took a deep breath, as if he had seen the scene of the joint battle with Marshal Michael more than thirty years ago, and now, he saw the heroic demeanor of Marshal Michael from his young marshal, Higg, "But even if there are only 20,000 defenders, he may not be able to take the city!" Even if the city can be captured, the expeditionary force will suffer heavy casualties, and won't it be more dangerous next? General Marisa, I can't help the young marshal now, since you're here to find him, why don't you go directly to the battlefield of Donauton? β
"That's what I mean!"
