Chapter 107: Retreat
"What are you doing here?" Julian looked at Mu Lan in surprise.
"Still don't understand?" Mu Lan smiled and said, "You just stand here, and we'll take care of the rest." ”
Then Mu Lan commanded the battle mage and sent out a second wave of magic attacks, and under the explosion of brilliant spells, the second siege tower was also destroyed.
The crowd erupted in cheers again, Shi Zhengyang agitated for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse, he looked around and found that the morale was obviously boosted, indicating that the first step of their plan was to be realized, and the next step was to repel this wave of enemy attacks.
There were more and more people around the outside of the rock-solid team, and the Wehlenburg soldiers, who had been on the verge of retreat just now, were regrouped, and the barbarians were surprised to see that the enemy, who thought they were weak and powerless, seemed to have been beaten with blood, and the wave of vanguards who had managed to climb the city wall was almost completely slaughtered.
"Those mages are destroying our tower!" A barbarian soldier shouted.
"They must be slaughtered, or the follow-up troops will not be able to attack the city!"
"Can't get close at all!"
The barbarians also saw the great threat of those battle mages, and all the barbarian warriors who climbed the city wall were attracted to it, and Mu Lan led Julian to stand on a high place, and the soldiers below were densely packed with soldiers rushing upward, both their own and the enemy.
The rest of the battlemages also arrived, and the addition of these thirty battlemages almost changed the tide of the war.
But the barbarians couldn't get into the inside of this formation at all, and the Wereenburg soldiers surrounded them and fought with them in a high-pitched mood, and the barbarian warriors who finally rushed in would also be shot through the head by the female archer, not to mention the long-range attack of throwing a short axe, which would be resisted by that layer of magic shield every time.
Although Mu Lan commanded the mages to release magic collectively, she herself retained her spiritual power and did not release another spell, Thrall's shield was consumed, and she had to do her best to maintain this shield, and this layer of protection was the key to the overall combat of the battle mages.
As the siege towers were demolished one by one, the scales of victory seemed to fall, and although the bloody soldiers of Wellenburg were exhausted, the magical attacks of the battle mages gave them the light of day, and His Royal Highness the Prince standing at the top and the loud and high-pitched voice showed them the way.
"Don't back down! His Royal Highness is standing before you! ”
"Behind us is home, we can't let the barbarians slaughter our relatives!"
"Defend the walls!"
Shi Zhengyang, the loudspeaker tool, doesn't know how many shouts he has made, these or exciting or exciting words are all thought of when the team was discussing collectively before, Shen Wei, who is well versed in political education, put forward a lot of ideas, His Royal Highness the Prince who turned the tide of the war, and then instilled the belief of defending the family and the country, so that the soldiers created are real warriors, warriors with faith and conviction.
Of course, this is just the beginning, it is the beginning for them and for the barbarians, looking at the gradually decreasing barbarians on the city wall, Shi Zhengyang thought that this night attack was more of a temptation, and in the distance of his sight, the barbarian army like a sea of fire was not broken, and the prelude to the war had just begun.
"They're back!" Lin Yiyi pointed to a tower that was retreating and said in surprise.
The barbarians, who were still fighting on the city walls, found in despair that the offensive of their own army was over, the remaining towers had retreated in the direction they had come, and the remnants of the city were slowly retreating.
"We have beaten the barbarians back!" Young Sergeant Roy's eyes were red with excitement, and he raised his sword and shouted.
As the barbarian forces retreated, the remaining barbarians on the city walls had nothing to fear, and they were quickly surrounded and wiped out by the Wilenberg soldiers without a follow-up force.
"......Huh" Lin Yiyi exhaled heavily, sat directly on the ground and rubbed her hands, and continued to shoot arrows with a bow, even the physique of the Chosen One couldn't bear it, she gasped and said, "Then we are ...... Win? ”
Shi Zhengyang shook his head, "The war has just begun, this is just the first attack of the barbarian army, there are more elements of temptation, maybe they want to find out the bottom of Willenburg, the barbarian sacrifice is the existence that can control the demonic beasts, and they have not appeared in this siege, and the enemy's reincarnation team has not appeared." ”
"You still have to fight......" Lin Yiyi sighed, her arms hurt as if they were torn off, and the tiger's mouth almost collapsed, if the enemy army didn't retreat just now, she wouldn't be able to hold it herself.
"Let Xiao Zhao help you heal." Shi Zhengyang saw Lin Yiyi's reddened little hand, so he looked at Zhao Ziyu.
Watching Zhao Ziyu skillfully take out the golden needle, Lin Yiyi showed an ugly smile, slowly stepped back, and her voice became stammering: "I, I'm afraid of injections, so let's get rid of it......"
"Ahh
With Lin Yiyi's screams, Zhao Ziyu's golden needle had been inserted into the acupuncture point of her arm.
"That's a bit of a thing!" Zhao Ziyu pursed his lips.
Julian looked at the retreating barbarian soldiers in the distance, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, when Sergeant Roy squeezed in from the crowd, he smiled when he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince was safe and sound, and then respectfully knelt on one knee.
"Your Royal Highness, it's okay if you're okay."
Mu Lan and Julian turned around when they heard this, and Roy turned a little red when he saw the two of them looking at him, and his head was lowered.
This second-class sergeant is quite good at being a person, he knows that he is going around the future leader, and he is familiar with his face first, and he doesn't know if he is smart or unintentional, when Shi Zhengyang shouted just now, this sergeant helped to cooperate with a wave.
Mu Lan looked at Julian playfully, but he kept his face, glanced at the soldiers who were looking at him, straightened his waist, and solemnly gave a military salute.
This kind of military salute of beating the chest with the right hand was created by Claudius the Great, it is said to be to boost morale, and it highlights the concept of equality between superiors and subordinates in the army, the first time I heard the meaning of this military salute, Mu Lan was surprised, this modern concept appeared out of thin air in a magical world, it is still quite strange, but after thinking about it, it may also be brought by people with modern thinking like the previous reincarnation team.
During the march, the soldiers did not have to kneel on one knee, because they were not facing nobles but officers, and it was their superiors who gave their lives, and most of the remaining soldiers on the city walls were painted, and they stood up with tired bodies, but their eyes were shining, because since Claudius the Great, there had been no royal nobles who had been on the battlefield in person, and His Royal Highness, who lived and died with them, was worthy of respect, so they beat their chests with their right fists and returned the same military salute.
"You make me proud!" Julian's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by every soldier present.
"In the days to come, I will fight on the front line and be with you!"
Mu Lan didn't expect Julian to suddenly open his mind, this kind of thing had not taught him, and he subconsciously looked at him.
His face was serious, faintly revealing the military atmosphere of a bloody battle, surrounded by the reverent eyes of the soldiers, the current Julian made Mu Lan feel strange.
