Chapter 343: Flame Blade
·
"My king! O my king! Xi Shangjue's heart was in chaos, and the composure that he had been trained on the battlefield for a long time was gone, "Damn Heavenly Mother-in-law, this is a rebellion!" This is rebellion! How dare you lure a wolf into the house! ”
More than 100,000 Fire Clan troops crossed the sea at night, and the king was in danger!
Okay, you rain culvert bed, we are just a personal grudge against you, you actually brought a large number of foreign troops into the country in order to fight back, crazy! Even if you can kill all the nobles and the army, then what? With so many Fire Clan troops coming from afar, will they pat their butts and go back after encircling and suppressing more than 10,000 of us?
You're going to assassinate the king, right?
Frustration kept rolling in Xi Shangjue's heart, he never expected that the mother-in-law he provoked would be so frustrated. Everyone is just fighting among themselves, and you actually involve the safety of the entire continent! If you don't mess with the Celestial Mage......
"Your Excellency!"
The loud call beside him woke him up.
“…… How to ......"
"Please cheer up and make a decision early!"
"Hmm." Xi Shangjue nodded, and in an instant, he regained his strength, and countless tactics quickly swept through his chest. I saw him pull the reins tightly, causing the front hooves of the war horse to vacate into the air: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" Go to the center of the city at full speed, join up with the rest of the troops, and gather the strength of the whole army to break through the siege in one door! ”
Obey orders——!
Decisive.
This is the best thing that Xi Shangjue can think of now. According to the view, as long as the whole army marches fast enough, it will definitely be able to rush to the center of the city in advance to converge, and then choose the weakest city gate to break through. Although the casualties must have been very heavy, this is the best way to win.
As for where is the weakest......
The Fire Clan admires heroes, and an army of 30,000 people must be led by a pillar-like general, and for the sake of glory, unless it is a fire fairy, it must be at the forefront. At that time, with Xi Shangjue's experience, he should be able to tell at a glance which enemy general is the weakest among the four directions. After that, it's simple, force a breakthrough. At that time, the nobles were the weakest of the four Fire Clan armies in front of them, while the other three pursuers could only squeeze into the narrow streets, no different from one.
The only chance to win.
If it is unlucky, the four enemy generals are all fire immortals, then Xi Shangjue can only admit bad luck and try his luck to bet on which side is the weakest. He can distinguish the strength of the warrior class with experience at a glance, but he can't see the mage.
The city was huge, and thousands of troops spent a lot of time marching at full speed on deserted streets. He informed the other three allies of this strategy and converged in the middle of the city.
Xi Shangjue's troops had the most cavalry in the aristocratic army, and even so, they were actually caught up by the Fire Clan army behind them.
It was an unbelievable speed of marching, and even if it was not as fast as a horse, it was much faster than the infantry.
"So fast! Why, the Fire Clan should be all infantry! "The Fire Clan continent is barren, and it is difficult to raise people, and they do not raise horses or any mounts.
He couldn't understand why the mere infantry could run so fast. Just because they joined the camp of the Celestial Mages? Why did everything become unbelievable as soon as it touched that mother-in-law?
However, looking back, only a small number of Fire Clan people were fast, and the others were left behind, causing a disconnect in the pursuing team.
Seeing that the tail of his team was falling down like harvesting wheat, Xi Shangjue rushed with his long sword high: "It can't go on like this, we must seize the opportunity to annihilate their high-speed pursuit troops, otherwise we can't escape alone!" With that, he led a part of the elite to turn the spearhead and face the Fire Clan warriors.
The horses neighed and shuttled through the noble army against the current, the cold light fluttering, just the opposite of the flames directly opposite.
"Kill ——!"
The cavalry followed the red-haired enemy in the heat of the charge, killing intent shaking the scorching air and causing the ashes to dance wildly in front of them.
Suddenly, a strange state of affairs happened.
The horses in the front row fell in unison, and the cavalry, including Xishangjue, all threw out fiercely. No one saw a bow drawn, much less a rain of arrows.
One rolled up, and Xi Shangjue was still old and strong. He hurriedly raised his shield and half-crouched, straightening his helmet. I didn't see what was coming, it wasn't a rain of arrows, it wasn't magic.
Could it be the rumored celestial magic that is thriving—the high-damage magic that shoots small pieces of metal at high speeds? Isn't that unique to the rain culvert bed? How could it be that so many Fire Clan people could learn it all?
Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in his thigh, and Xi Shangjue realized that he was injured. The attack was so sharp and sudden that it was a few seconds late to notice the pain.
"...... this?" Xi Shangjue pulled out a short wooden stick with a feather on the tail from the wound in his thigh, "Crossbowarrow? No way! ”
The Fire Clan revered bravery, and found it too humiliating for archers to disdain archery, including crossbow arrows, which is common knowledge known to the whole world. Also, who is Xishangjue? How is it possible not to even see the large number of crossbow bolts flying in front of you? Even if it's night...!
The soldiers immediately surrounded Xishangjue for protection, and at this time, the Fire Clan on the opposite side also rushed to the ground as fast as they could, stopping at a distance of only thirty or forty meters from each other.
At this moment, Xi Shangjue suddenly realized!
"It's an illusion!"
"What did you say, sir?"
"Fools, we have all fallen for the illusion of the Lord of the Source Phoenix, he is the only apprentice of Lord Prophet, and he is also an illusion department, and the natural mana is not trivial!" Xishangjue pointed to the Yuanhuang Xia Jue who was hiding behind several rows of Fire Clan people in front of him and said, "You see, the Fire Clan people don't use bows and crossbows, let alone run like a gale, and they will never stop at this distance to confront us, they love close combat!" ”
That's right......
After listening to this, some people kept reacting, claiming that they almost fell into the magic, which was really dangerous.
Scold!
One of the horsemen was hit by a crossbow bolt in the forehead and was killed on the spot, and he died next to Sishangjue.
It doesn't matter if it's an illusion or not, but the crossbow bolt is real, and the crisis in front of you is also real.
The elite of the aristocratic army listened to the command of Xi Shangjue, raised their shields together, lined up in a neat line, and approached the enemy army step by step. The crossbow bolt smashed against the shield with a heavy weight, like a stone, but it was still within its bearing.
The distance between the two armies is getting closer.
"Hey, hey, I know, I know everything!" Xi Shangjue shrank behind the shield and laughed in a low voice, "Illusion is the ghost of the Yuan Huang Heroes, those are not Fire Clan people at all but local city guards, and running at high speed is also a trick, and the number of people is not 30,000, I'm afraid there is only this small part of the people who rushed over in advance!" ”
I see, Lord Shang Jue is wise! When the soldiers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. If you really fight with the 30,000 Fire Clan army, a few lives will not be enough.
Considers
As the distance between the two armies continued to close, seeing that the crossbow bolts had little effect, four or five people came out of the Fire Clan, each holding a bottle in his hand.
He raised his head and took a sip, and suddenly spat out a sea of fire. That's a classic trick of the regular Fire Clan army - squirting oil from the mouth and using magic to intensify the fire, but if it gets on the shield armor, it will burn hot and you can't continue to wear it.
That's fire magic!
It was too late, and the Fire Clan warriors took advantage of the chaos caused by the fire to rush over, stabbing with flat-pointed machetes, and completely knocking several shields out of their hands.
Flat-spiked machetes - that's the standard Fire Clan's weapon!
