Chapter 132: Deserters

The forces of the Thirteenth Army were divided into three and advanced in an inverted shape. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll warriors are simply covered with a black cloth on the upper end of their armor and helmet, and move lightly to ensure that they are not prematurely exposed to the reflection of moonlight and sound.

But even then, not far from the first station of the Banner Corps, their actions were exposed in advance. The sentry on the watchtower had the most poisonous eyes, and when he saw a large black thing moving neatly in the distance, he told the captain of the guard the news first.

So less than ten seconds later, the huge bell used to sound the alarm on the watchtower was struck with great force.

"Dangdang!"

The bell rang loud enough that the sentries in the other watchtowers rang the bell quickly. The soldiers stationed here jumped up and ran directly outside to assemble. Everyone slept in their clothes, so they moved quickly and bought a lot of time in advance.

General Walter of the Banner Corps had ordered all fighters to enter a wartime state a month earlier. I have to say that this middle-aged general has a very strong political sense and military judgment, so he has taken some advantage in this war. It was this small opportunity that later preserved a large part of the vitality of the Duchy of Finnier.

The sound of the bell on the watchtower not only woke up all the guards and soldiers, but also the enemy team that had recently entered the sentry's field of vision. The Thirteenth Corps, which had intended to encircle and annihilate this small garrison with three times its strength, had to change its strategy and choose to concentrate its forces on attacking from the front.

Although this did not have the same advantage for the Thirteenth Legion, after all, the disparity in strength was huge, and it was possible to destroy this force as quickly as possible, and then destroy the remaining three forces one by one before they could gather.

But as it turned out, such an idea seemed too simplistic.

The first garrison of the Banner Corps was of a temporary nature, so the defense facilities were relatively rudimentary, some of them were earth and stone structures, and some of them were wooden structures, including wooden watchtowers, wooden bombardiers, wooden isolation piles, and so on. However, the heavy weapons are all real, the main of which is the cannonballs made from black powder carefully formulated by alchemists.

In this situation where there are not many buildings and there is a clear division between friend and foe, bombardiers have become the most powerful weapons of mass destruction. There are many stationary bombardier in the station, and a single shell can kill a range of seven or eight meters in diameter.

But the Thirteenth Corps of the Alpha Kingdom is clearly superior. Behind them, some mobile bomb throwers began to move forward from both sides. The entire team was just on the periphery of the range of the Banner Corps' fixed bombardiers, and the mobile bombardiers had a longer range due to the large amount of tenacity potions applied and the relatively small size of the shells.

"Boom, boom!"

The vanguard of the 13th Corps, standing in the distance, unleashed a shield of holy light, which was used to ward off the rain of arrows and the debris from the cannonballs. It would not be of any benefit to his side that the commander of the Banner Corps was now in the fortifications, so he ordered to rush out.

But in this way, he happened to fall into the trap of the enemy. Without the cover of the earth and stone structure, they can only rely on wooden shields and fighting qi shields to resist, but most of the members of the Banner Corps are low-level and middle-level warriors, and their combat strength is much worse than that of the Thirteenth Legion, and they are at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers.

The three detachments of the Alpha Kingdom, which were originally advancing in an inverted shape, changed their strategy at this time, and the left and right teams advanced together, forming a three-sided encirclement. The heavy firearms of the middle team shattered the fortifications of the Banner Corps, and the flanks were flanked from the left and right. In just an hour, the skirmish was nearing its end.

An hour is not a long time for a battle of this magnitude. The commanders of the 13th Army Corps were pleased with this: in such a short period of time, the other three garrisons of the Banner Corps had not yet had time to come to their aid. A quarter of the enemy's forces were wiped out, but their own side did not suffer much loss.

Immediately afterward, as the victors, they did not stop at all, and continued to drive towards the nearest station of the Banner Corps.

Because the first battle left a gap, the other three garrisons already knew about the battle that was born here. The commander of the 13th Army Corps estimated that he might be blocked halfway, so he walked cautiously.

Surprisingly, there was not even half a figure to be seen along the way, and according to observation, there was no trace of the existing brigade passing by. It's puzzling: haven't they gotten the word yet, or have they been in some kind of ambush?

But it wasn't until they reached the second station that the mystery was finally solved: the portal was wide open and empty.

"Bastard, you ran away!"

The commander looked a little angry. Before that, he had heard that General Walter of the Banner Corps was a very courageous man, but he didn't expect that he would be a bastard. The Thirteenth Legion immediately approached another station, and sure enough, it was equally empty.

"Lord Commander, I didn't expect that we didn't have a perfect tactical arrangement this time, and in the end we got a perfect result." The knight, who had just touched a gray nose, didn't seem to be enlightened, and said with a at this time.

"Perfect result?" The commander snorted coldly, and after his eyes swept over the knight's body, he seemed to be full of disdain, "A true warrior should be to rush into battle and grab what belongs to someone else, not to obtain it effortlessly like this." Good predators don't bother to eat dead prey, and only the food they catch is the most delicious. ”

The knight closed his mouth in a daze, and while everyone was not looking, he reached out and slapped him in the face, while at the same time a few words came out of his mouth: "What a fucking ......"

The last garrison of the Banner Corps has been developed into a medium-sized town, Sapris. When the Thirteenth Regiment arrived, the town seemed quiet. But by all indications, the brigade left here some time ago.

"Grab some townsfolk and ask." A staff officer ordered.

Several tall minotaurs walked straight to the front of several houses, and did not knock on the door, but directly split the door in half with a battle axe mixed with fighting spirit. Then some of the men and women were taken out by the minotaurs like chicks and thrown in front of the commander.

The commander bent down from his horse and asked in a low voice that was not prestigious: "Tell me, how many warriors are stationed here?" Where did they go? ”

The woman opened her mouth and couldn't speak, looked at the commander's face and let out two "yaa" sounds, and then fainted in fright.
