Chapter 472: Blackstone Attack and Defense (2)
Soon, the reinforcements of the Demacian side and the Noxian nobles all advanced towards the Blackstone Fortress, a small fortress that had not been noticed much before, but now became the focus of the entire continent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The number of reinforcements in Demacia exceeded everyone's expectations, two special brigades, more than two thousand elite soldiers began to cross the swamp and advance towards the Blackstone Fortress, so many soldiers have even exceeded the capacity limit of the Blackstone Fortress, and when crossing the swamp, no fierce beast will not open its eyes to the trouble of such a large army, so this Demacian army needs to face only the trouble of the swamp itself, and does not need to think about anything else.
Compared with the swamp trip of Demacia's reinforcements, the road taken by the nobles of Noxus was much smoother, and there were chariots and horses to walk, so after going around several other small fortresses around the Blackstone Fortress, they marched towards the Blackstone Fortress, and that's it, they arrived one step ahead of the Demacian reinforcements.
Edmund looked at the small fortress in the distance, and frowned slightly, there were not many Demacian troops above, but he had no intention of giving up the fortress at all. Anyone knows that as long as the Hengduan Fortress is not lost, the gains and losses of these small fortresses will not affect the overall situation, at most it is just a matter of face, of course, rising to the country is called "national honor".
It's just that it's useless to hold on here, so it's generally that after seeing the arrival of the opponent's army, the small group of troops occupying it will take the initiative to retreat, at least be prepared to retreat, but this kind of Demacia force, which is at most a squadron, has no sign of retreat, is it possible that the opponent's commander has his head caught in the door? Edmund couldn't help but think about it, and he still understood the truth that there must be a demon when things go wrong.
"Command, attack the fortress immediately, we must hide from this fortress before the sun sets, and let the flag of Noxus fly over this fortress again." Edmund brandished his spear and shouted to all the soldiers, and with Edmund's order, countless Noxian soldiers had rushed towards the fortress.
"My lord, they're attacking." A lookout immediately passed the news to Tony, and Parker just glanced at it, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it's just a tentative attack, you want us to waste defensive equipment, don't worry about them, as long as they don't start climbing the wall, let them come, such a good target is usually not trained." ā
Tony didn't say anything about Parker's overstepping, because Parker's orders were standard textbook answers, but unfortunately, this was the battlefield, and the battlefield was always accompanied by accidents, so Tony added: "Everyone stick to their posts and beware of Noxus cheating." ā
"Are you too careful, you should know that our reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow morning, even if we advance at full speed, we will need to hold out until this evening, and now, even before the sun sets, it will take two or three hours, do you want to waste the soldiers' physical strength because of these boring temptations?" Parker asked, incomprehensibly.
"This is the battlefield, it is better to spend physical strength than to lose your life, we can't fully grasp the situation on the battlefield, so don't bet on the lives of our ridiculous self-confident soldiers." Tony said firmly, there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
Seeing Tony so resolute, Parker was a little unsure why, for the war command ability, he was confident that he would never lose to Tony, especially in the military flag deduction, he even forced his instructor to surrender and admit defeat, and his instructor was the general of Demacia, not at all comparable to Tony's small squadron leader, so he was quite unimpressed with Tony's order.
Soon, however, Parker saw the first real battlefield in his life, and it was not a military flag deduction, but a flesh-and-blood contest, not a number on paper, but a life. Those Noxian soldiers continued to fall in the rain of arrows in Demacia, but they had allowed them to continue to sprint forward, and people fell one by one like wheat, even if the number of Noxus in this charge was small, but under the dense rain of arrows, there were also heavy casualties.
When there were only about two dozen soldiers left in the Noxus charge, these people suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the city wall at a rapid pace, and according to their speed, the walls of this small fortress could definitely not stop them.
"Be careful, it's the elite of Noxus, the ballistas are ready, put on the fire oil, stop them from approaching, and definitely not let them climb the walls." Tony roared wildly when he saw the sudden increase in the speed of those people. All the Demacian soldiers seemed to have been prepared, and the various defenses were carried out in an orderly manner, and the powerful ballista was pulled apart, and this special crossbow arrow had extraordinary speed and penetration, which was the secret weapon against those who were powerful.
"It seems that the other party is very cautious, and he is an old bird on the battlefield." Edmund saw the response of Demacia's army in the Blackstone Fortress, and knew that there was no hope that this battle would be resolved by a sneak attack. However, this did not affect his mood, because he was confident that with his strength at this time, it would be absolutely no problem to deal with a squadron of Demacia.
"Inform the magician troops, blast the gates open for me, the archers cover, the assault troops ready to charge at any time, the cavalry roaming around the perimeter, and not allow me to let go of a Demacian soldier. If I had known that a Demacian soldier had run into the swamp, all the captains would have been severely punished. Edmund scolded Fang Xuan as if the battle was already a sure win.
As the magician's fireballs continued to bombard the city walls, Demacia's army was already overwhelmed, and coupled with the dense rain of arrows, the Demacian soldiers could fall half of them if they didn't occupy the fortress, they only needed a salvo. However, as an old rival of Noxus, Demacia does not have a mage army, but there are many ways to fight against magic attacks.
"Find the location of the opposing mage unit and bombard me with a ballista." Tony said viciously.
"Why don't you turn on the rune shield so we have no way to fight back." Parker asked, puzzled.
"Rookie, this is the battlefield, our resources are limited, I have to use the limited resources to delay as long as possible, this is war, it's not the enemy you see in the books using magic, we have to deploy the rune shield defense, we don't have so many runes to waste." Tony said unceremoniously to Parker, at this time, he no longer cared about Parker's identity at all, and directly called him a rookie.
