Chapter 49: Ode to the West Wind
On the school grounds, all the soldiers have been assembled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of the troops were infantry, with less than 1,000 cavalry, and there were 2,000 crossbowmen with short-bladed crossbows in the infantry. Demacia is located in the western part of the continent, where the ruling class of the kingdom believes in the forces of nature, and the country's technological development is still in a very primitive stage. Many technological weapons can only be purchased from friendly neighbors Phi Ci, and there was an alliance between Demacia and the kingdom of Yodel, but since the power of Aegis III was gradually elevated, the kingdom's trade was decentralized.
The standard equipment of the Demacian infantry was shields, swords, and iron armor, and the weight of the whole body was as high as fifty-six catties. In order to escape for his life, Andri had ordered his soldiers to take off their heavy armor, but now many infantry have only one weapon on their bodies. Andri's order could not be said to be wrong, and if he hadn't abandoned the heavy armor on his body, so many soldiers would not have escaped.
Most of the soldiers in the school field had no armor, some wore cloth clothes and steel helmets on their heads, some carried shields but lacked weapons, and some had a heart shield tied to the front but their chest armor was missing. Galen was wearing heavy rune armor and stood on a high platform, looking very powerful. At this time, he was roaring loudly at the soldiers: "We have no armor, no shield to cover the arrows!" But we Demacians have not lost their courage! Even without these things, with the sword in our hands, we can still launch a horn for a counterattack! ”
The voice fell, and on the ring on both sides, more than a dozen horns sounded at the same time. The one-meter-long bull horn makes a heavy and long horn sound! This kind of trumpet is the trumpet of attack!
The soldiers on the school grounds began to shout, "Demacia! ”
"Demacia!"
"Demacia!"
……
The furious sound came wave after wave, Hua Li Lang was in it, feeling the blood and indignation of the soldiers around him, he suddenly understood a little why Noxus had destroyed so many countries, but he could never capture Demacia. It is because their people, their warriors, are proud of Demacia! On the mainland, only Demacians will use their own country as a slogan, which proves that they love their country and the land they live in!
Hua Li Lang silently thought: The cohesion of a country can reach such a point, no matter how turbulent their royal power is, it will be difficult for the country to perish!
In the midst of the shouts of tens of thousands of people, Hua Li Lang firmly believes that this operation will be successful!
When the sun breaks free from the clouds, it is also the time for the army to kick out!
The mighty army set out from the camp in the valley and slaughtered directly at the camp in Noxus. The war horse galloped in front, and Hua Li Lang ran to Galen's side and asked him, "If we kill Asiborne, will the vanguard army of Noxus retreat?" ”
Galen rode on the tall invincible back and said confidently: "You don't understand the country of Noxus, their army is the most disciplined army in the history of Valoran. If these vanguard troops of more than 5,000 people retreat because they are dead, when they return to their own country, all of them will be judged by the prison department! In Noxus, although killing the commander will reduce the morale of the soldiers, the troops will not riot and flee because of the general's death. When the main general dies, the deputy general becomes the main general, and when the deputy general dies, the general can also be on top! Even if all the officials are dead, the soldiers can still elect their own generals, and they would rather die in battle than be easily defeated! ”
From Galen's short words, Hua Li Lang understood a little why Noxus was invincible! Like the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, they believed in the rule of law, and the warriors admired force. The law has become the best force to restrain the troops, and the combat function has greatly changed the identity and status of the soldiers. Hua Li Lang thought of Svein, the biggest enemy of this war, and he was just a small soldier at the beginning, because he had made enough contributions on the battlefield, but he climbed step by step to the position of the imperial general. His resume is simply not going to be successful in Demacia, and this is the biggest difference between Demacia and Noxus.
Galen's army finally came to the camp in Noxus, and as he said, these vanguard troops did not retreat because of the death of the main general, they relied on the camp, arranged a large number of defensive measures, and waited for them one by one!
Demacia's troops formed in front of the camp, and as soon as Galen's great sword pressed forward, the soldiers behind him roared and rushed forward!
"Attack!"
Arnold was yelling with his sword and shield on his head!
"Attack!"
The soldiers in front carried the rough wooden shields that were rushed to be made, and struck each other with swords to increase the momentum!
The soldiers approached in a neat formation, and within 300 meters of the camp, the attacking soldiers suddenly felt the ground loosen, and their bodies were unstable, and they fell into the ground. The trap was covered with sharp wooden stakes, and once a person fell, he would be pierced through the body by the stakes, and dozens of soldiers fell into the trap, but this did not slow down the pace of the attacking troops.
Within a hundred meters, the outside of the camp in Noxus was lined with fences, and the wooden corner towers on both sides of the gate were full of soldiers, who drew their bows and arrows, and prepared to attack one by one.
When Demacia's soldiers came within range of their bows and arrows, the general guarding the camp waved his hand and shouted, "Release!" ”
Suddenly, arrows rained down.
Across the river, in the middle of the new town.
Admiral Hemingway stood in front of the window, holding a beautiful woman in one hand and a beautiful glass cup in the other. The river breeze stirred his golden curls, making him feel a pleasant refreshment, and he closed his eyes and sang like a poet: "
O wild west wind, the breath of your autumn life,
Thou hast no body, but thou hast swept away all the dead leaves,
Like a wizard frightened the ghosts and ghosts to collapse,
brownish, inky black, brownish-gray, and scarlet,
Plague-ridden swarms: Oh, it's you-
Drive the winged young to the dark winter bed,
Let them lie there, cold and sluggish,
All of them are like corpses in the grave, until
Your blue spring girl faces the earth in her sleep
Blow her horn
……”
On the edge of the river, in the wooden attic, facing the evening breeze, Hemingway's subdued voice permeated the entire pavilion. The beauty is beside her, with her fingers and eyes, and she is emotional, and she doesn't feel that she is crazy. Jiawen was below, stammering, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't feel stupid.
"Oh...... It's you who pluck the strings on the river! Oh...... It was you who woke up the entire bay of Baya! Oh...... It's you --!."
The sound of footsteps and a voice outside the wooden door interrupted Hemingway's singing: "Report to the general, there is already a shout of killing from the other side of the river, and General Galen is already attacking the camp!" ”
Hemingway, who was disturbed by Yaxing, raised his head and sighed: "What a group of boring and ignorant people! O west wind! You have sent the news to me, what do you want me to do? I wander on the streams and sing in the bends of the rivers...... My sky should not be in the shadow of swords and swords. ”
Jiawen finally came back to his senses and said to Hemingway: "Your Excellency, you can send a sailor to help!" Even if your fleet is just watching from the river, it can echo Galen's army! ”
"Echo?"
With a sarcastic smile on his face, Hemingway gently put down the glass cup in his hand, he hooked the beauty's chin, and said to her, "You go down first!" ”
The beauty nodded slightly, took the hem of her skirt and stepped out of the suspended attic. There were only two people left in the room, Jiawen and Hemingway, looking at the prince with a frosty face, Hemingway shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request." You killed Andriy without permission, and the Council of Nobles will soon put you on trial! With all due respect, you are far from this war, and the days that await you will be endless lawsuits. Perhaps His Majesty will have to pay a great deal to get you out of prison, and when you come out you will find that your country has changed for the worse and there is nothing you can do! ”
Hemingway's words pointed directly at Jiawen's vital point, and Jiawen's face became very ugly, but he still insisted and said: "My business, don't bother the general!" I only hope that you will give the Debang soldiers who are still fighting bloodily to the best of your ability! They need supplies, they need armament, they need your navy! Compared to Demacia's safety, my Gavin's life is nothing! ”
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! ”
Hemingway suddenly began to laugh like a convulsion, and Gavin looked at him angrily below, and asked loudly, "Is what I said just a joke in your ears?" ”
"That's right!" 、
Hemingway returned to his place, he pulled a document from the board and threw it to Gavin. Garvin frowned and opened the file bag, and found a page of letters from it, and he looked at it for less than a moment before his face changed.
"This indictment was sent by the Council of Elders, received by almost every powerful minister, and as soon as we signed it, a special council against the king would be convened immediately. It shows the thirty-two indictments of the current king! Although I don't know if these charges are true, it is enough to show that the rule of the Light Shield Family is in jeopardy! This is the struggle of the royal power with the local nobility! When you return at this time, the first thing you do is kill Duke Andri, do you know how much trouble it will cause the king? It will not only be an excuse for the nobles to attack the king, but also a reason for the nobles to persecute you! As we all know, the king has only one son, and he made you a prince early on! If you die at this time, even if the king is not overthrown, the Lightsshield family will be finished. I really don't understand why you're coming to me at this time! It's not just going to kill you! You're going to kill me! ”
"As we all know, I am a general of the royal line. But most of my deputies, my subordinates, were children of local aristocratic families. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at me around me, and I can only write poems against them to deceive some people with ulterior motives! This water division is the last force that Demacia relies on, and it is the key to the survival of the kingdom. Andri's crossing of the river was arranged from above, and it was his last chance, but it was ruined by you. The troops across the river have already been abandoned by the kingdom, and no one can help them, except themselves. Prince Gawen, all we can do is pray! Pray that Galen will work miracles. ”
After listening to Hemingway's words, Garvin collapsed in his seat as if he had lost all his strength, and he muttered, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Let's go! Leave Demacia secretly, and don't let the nobles catch you. As long as you don't fall into their hands, Andri's death will be determined by the king to commit suicide in fear of sin! When this war is over, you can come back! If Demacia perishes, you can be reinstated as a prince. If Noxus is defeated, you can also help the king rectify the noble elders when you return! ”
