Chapter 101: Raids and Traps
After dark.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was silence all around.
Inside the forward base, a hundred Ant-Man warriors armed with swords lined up in a line. Another fifty worker ants and worker bees were arranged on the left and right sides.
Lin Yang, Anna, Lily, Brood, Simon, and Brain Eater stood in front of this Zerg force.
"In order to accomplish my plan, these Zerg warriors must be abandoned." Lin Yang said to the brood next to him, "I hope you don't get angry." ”
"Master, the combat units I created were originally consumables, and you didn't treat them as life, which is what I want to see the most." The brood said calmly.
Nodding, Lin Yang glanced at the Zerg troops one last time, and shouted loudly: "Mother Hive, you stay here to take care of Huo'er, and the others will set off with me!" This battle can only be successful, not defeated! We've got to catch Haken off guard! ”
At this time, Lin Yang suddenly made a dinging sound in his mind, which was from the mother nest.
Lin Yang has a spiritual connection with the brood.
The brood also has a slight connection to its creation.
was about to go to battle, the mother nest decisively handed over the command of this zerg force to Lin Yang, Lin Yang turned over and got on the horse, raised his arms, and hundreds of ant-men behind him followed steadily with neat footwork.
In order to avoid complications, Lin Yang did not tell Barton about this plan, so he bypassed Xiaoshi Village far away and advanced east along a small road. Ximu Town is about dozens of miles away from Xiaoshi Village, on the field under the night wind, Lin Yang's troops marched extremely quickly, coupled with the dark appearance of Ant-Man, almost integrated with the night, and rarely made a sound, the concealment was very high, it was extremely difficult to find, and before midnight, everyone had already come to the outside of Ximu Town.
Ximu Town is not big, and it is late at night, and most of the families have turned off the lights and gone to sleep.
Outside the town, inside the Lord's Palace, the lights are bright.
"Who's going to find out?" Lin Yang looked at the Lord's Mansion from afar and asked.
"I'll go!" Anna snorted and rode away.
After a while, Anna returned as scheduled and said in a loud voice: "Haken is still singing and dancing in the hall of the mansion, and the hundred hoplites, dozens of attendants and servants are all in the hall, and no one is resting!" ”
"It's really a drunken life, when Lao Tzu dies, the kid will be completely off the leash......" Touching his chin, Lin Yang frowned and said, "Why don't we just kill them and give them a surprise?" ”
Simon, the half-orc berserker, brandished the huge two-handed sledgehammer in his hand and shouted, "That's right, boss, let's rush in like this, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" My sledgehammer hasn't drunk hot blood in a long time! ”
"Okay, let's do it!"
So, the group slowly approached the Lord's Mansion. And Lin Yang secretly gave orders in his heart, and the hundreds of Zerg warriors behind him rushed to the front one after another, these combat units themselves were used as cannon fodder, and they didn't need a trace of mercy at all.
At this moment, in the entire Lord's Mansion, a loud bang like a bell suddenly sounded.
"Dang!"
Immediately after, an earthquake-like sound sounded, and one after another heavy cavalry rushed out of the Lord's Palace, wearing armor and spears, a full hundred horsemen, all present!
Haken slowly walked out of the team, he rode on a dragon scale horse, looked at Lin Yang playfully, and said with a smile: "I'm not a fool, I still sing and dance in the middle of the night, isn't this looking for guilt?" I set up this bureau just to trap you, I originally thought that Barton would bring a dozen militiamen to kill you, but I didn't expect to lure you out directly. Lin Yang, when did you return to the knight collar? Also, those soldiers you brought with you...... It seems like a swarm of big ants, right? Could it be the summoning spell you cast? ”
Behind Haken, hundreds of hoplites burst into laughter.
"When I met you four years ago, you were only a half-grown child, overwhelmed by your father." Lin Yang glanced at Haken and said lightly: "I thought that after you succeeded to the throne, you would squander the property left by the old lord until you lost your family business, but I didn't expect you to have a bit of a city government and strategy." It's a pity ......"
"What's the pity?" Haken sneered.
"It's a pity that you met me, the jackdaw mage from Icewind Dale, it's not so easy to mess with!" After that, Lin Yang waved his hand, and fifty worker ants foraging for food rushed out first!
"Then let's fight it out!" Haken gave an order, and the hundred heavy cavalry behind him, covered in iron armor and silver light, rushed out, the two troops were not less than hundreds of meters apart, this distance can be fully accelerated to the fastest, and give full play to the greatest advantage of the heavy cavalry!
"Shall we go up?" The Brain Eater asked suddenly, and he looked at the others, most of them with flat expressions, only Simon looked excited, eager to try.
"No, don't move until you have to, I'm 80% sure I'll finish Haken before my forces run out."
A hundred heavily armored cavalry lined up and slowly advanced, getting faster and faster.
On the other side, fifty worker ants used to forage for food can't stop this first wave of impact. Lin Yang looked at the overall situation, he knew very well the role of this batch of worker ants, and with a wave of his palm, the fifty worker bees behind him flew up in the buzzing sound and flew towards the front line at a low altitude!
Haken didn't know the strength of these Zerg units, but Lily, Simon, Brain Eater and the others knew it clearly, and they couldn't help frowning, Lin Yang was clearly sending meat to the other party's tiger's mouth?
Of the people present, only Anna glanced at Lin Yang deeply, revealing a look of approval.
Bang!
The first wave of impact rang out, and in front of the heavily armed hoplites, fifty worker ants were easily torn apart like straw to the defensive line, retreating like ice and snow, and were soon killed without a single piece of armor. Many people on Lin Yang's side closed their eyes slightly, and they couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but Haken was laughing.
However, few people noticed a detail that, after such an impact, the speed of the hoplites dropped significantly by a few points.
Fifty worker bees followed, and this low-flying foraging insect has another advantage over worker ants, that is, each one carries a stinger, of course, the toxicity is very weak, and it can only temporarily paralyze the enemy. And now, in the face of the heavily armored heavy cavalry, the Stinger was useless, and fifty worker bees flew over like a sky, crashing into the ...... with a suicidal attack
Crash into the horses under the crotches of those cavalrymen!
Suddenly, some of the heavy cavalry who rushed to the front were unstable under their crotches, and they turned on their backs!
In addition, the rest of the heavy cavalry, although the spear in their hand accurately pierced through the rapidly flying worker bees, the sprint speed was also somewhat affected, and they slowed down again, and the formation was somewhat scattered!
And at this moment, Lin Yang sneered, took out a vine staff, the profession of the temple priest played a huge role at this moment, with the swing of the staff, pieces of holy and soft white light sprinkled, and one by one the group status and amplification effect appeared on the Ant-Man warriors, after doing all this, Lin Yang issued a final order in his heart, a hundred Ant-Man warriors, holding swords and shields, flashed white light all over their bodies, and fearlessly rushed towards the heavy cavalry!
Haken, who was still laughing wildly outside the battle circle, suddenly stopped his voice, and he finally saw the clue and shouted: "Come back!" Give me all back! ”
The Ant-Man warriors were extremely fast, and they were already less than a few dozen meters away from the heavy cavalry, and it was obvious that no matter how much Haken yelled at his throat, it would be useless.
……
What is the biggest threat to heavy cavalry? There is no doubt that it is a fast dash in the middle and long distances, and with a strong formation, even in the face of several times the enemy, it is not a problem to cut through the middle and back and forth for a few rounds. And now, after two waves of obstacles, the sprint speed of the hundred hoplites under Haken has dropped to an extreme, and the Ant-Man warriors gathered together, with shields on their chests, forming a defensive formation, which easily defused the impact.
Lily, Brain Eater, Simon and others, who were still questioning Lin Yang before, suddenly realized and showed a look of admiration to Lin Yang.
Simon even gave a thumbs up and laughed: "Boss, it's really yours!" ”
"The best is yet to come." Lin Yang smiled.
Immediately, the Ant-Man warriors and the hoplites entered the melee stage, and something incredible happened, as if they had said it in advance, every Ant-Man warrior first attacked not the warriors on those horses, but the horses! With the swing of the long sword and the broadsword again and again, the horse's hooves were cut off, the war horse fell to the ground, and the neighing sound was endless!
"Damn it! What kind of soldiers are these! "A heavy cavalryman pierced a certain Ant-Man with a shot, and I saw that the Ant-Man warrior seemed to have no pain, still repeating the action of waving his knife and chopping the horse's hooves, and after a long time he convulsed and died completely.
After a while, almost all the horses in the battle circle were cut down, and the battle gradually entered the white heat, although the heavy cavalry without the war horses had amazing defense, but their mobility and flexibility could not bear to look at them directly, and more than half of them were still killed and wounded after a long time.
On the other hand, in addition to weapons and shields, the Ant-Man warriors did not have the slightest armor on their bodies, and their defense was inevitably weak while being light and flexible, and the states that Lin Yang had attached earlier gradually became invalid, and under the fighting of the two sides, the number of casualties gradually increased, and finally fell behind, and when the heavy cavalry was less than one-third, the Ant-Man warriors were all wiped out.
"It seems that I still underestimated the power of the hoplites." Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"You've done well enough." Anna encouraged from the sidelines.
"No, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you take one wrong step or estimate one wrong step, you will be doomed." Lin Yang shook his head and said, "What if today we are facing not a hundred hoplites, but a hundred totem knights?" There are still thirty totem knights left on the other side after one defeat, so none of us can escape......"
……
At this time, there was a loud laugh from the opposite side: "Hahaha, Lin Yang, no matter where you got these strange insect soldiers, now the results have come out, I still have thirty people left, and you have been wiped out!" What are you going to do with me now? Surrender! Hand over your knight's lead, and I'll let you live!" Otherwise...... Even if you are able to escape today, the maximum number of troops you can carry is already seriously out of line with your title, and a small knight lord can only bring a maximum of ten minions! All I have to do is report it to the federal court, and someone from above will come down and clean you up!" ”
Lin Yang spread his hands and said with a smile: "I haven't decided the winner yet." ”
"Oh?" Haken glanced at Lin Yang and the four subordinates, and sneered, "With just the five of you, can you still compete with me?" Less kidding! ”
"Five men against your thirty soldiers...... It's a joke. Lin Yang smiled: "And in fact, if you want to defeat you, any of the five of us can do it." ”
Haken's face changed, and in his opinion, this was almost a serious contempt and insult, and he waved his hand at the last thirty warriors and said, "Kill them all for me!" ”
Lin Yang smiled, turned over and dismounted: "Now it's our turn to play." ”
Everyone was eager to give it a try.
……
The Brain Eater opened his mouth, revealing his tongue, which was as hard as a straw.
Simon wielded a two-handed sledgehammer and walked forward.
Lily donned alloy gloves and her fists shimmered.
Anna stretched out her bright red tongue and licked her lips, and with a wave of her right hand, with a bang, her arm exploded instantly, and the black mist turned into a long leather whip.
And above the heads of the four people, a huge ball of lightning was flying by, slowly smashing towards the thirty hoplites, obviously released by Lin Yang behind.
Haken finally realizes what a serious mistake he has made. Looking at the remaining thirty soldiers, who were simply vulnerable and retreating like cauliflower under the hands of these five "demonic" strange people, Haken finally screamed and ran into the Lord's Mansion in a panic, and the door of the mansion was instantly closed by several servants.
"Then, now ......" The five people stood in front of the gate, and Lin Yang said slowly: "There is only the turtle left in the urn." ”
In the rear, the thirty soldiers had all fallen, some had a terrible hole in their brains, some had their jaws completely smashed, some had simply been smashed into meatloaf by some huge blunt object, some seemed to have been violently whipped, and others seemed to have been electrocuted alive by high-voltage electricity. In short, the death was extremely tragic and shocking.
