Chapter 15: Turk Canyon
Chapter 15: Turk Canyon
Perhaps it was a great luck in misfortune, at the designated meeting place, except for the subordinates who escorted the captives to the Turk Gorge and handed over the captives to the lords of the major northern provinces, the vast majority of the personnel of the Silver Wolf Legion were smoothly converged. Now Wei's subordinates can use 15,000 guards, 10,000 silver wolf heavy horses, 8,000 wild dragon heavy horses, and 5,000 flying phoenix bow horses, a total of 38,000 troops. This strength made Wei's heart feel a lot more relieved, as long as he could rush to the Turk Canyon before the enemy, these troops, plus the original garrison in the canyon, should be able to defend the canyon that is five miles wide, right?
However, the tragedy that made Wei and them chill was immediately revealed in front of them, on that defensive line, all 50,000 Praetorian Guards were killed, and there were more than 40,000 corpses on the ground wearing black, purple, and green heavy armor. Karl whispered, "The 'Black Snake' Legion of the Smart Empire, the 'Judgment' Legion of the Ritter Empire, the 'Blades of Grass' Legion of the Levford Empire... Looking at the traces on the ground, at least 100,000 heavy cavalry rushed towards the defense line, and with the cooperation of other infantry, the defense line could not resist it for sure. ”
Ray asked a cavalryman beside him in a low voice, "The 'Blades of Grass' legion?
Auf leaned over and explained in a low voice: "The Levle Empire believes in the god of life, and the leaves of the grass are the most vital beings, no matter what the harsh circumstances, no matter how harsh the environment, they can thrive, which symbolizes the infinite vitality given by the god of life." Therefore, even their armor is specially added with a special ore, which is made of a faint green. The Blades of Grass Legion are not very combative, but they are very difficult. ”
Lei was stunned for a moment: "The combat effectiveness is not strong and it is very difficult?"
Auf shrugged his shoulders and made a slight sound from the armor on his body, and he whispered: "Yes, it is very difficult, the power that their magicians have is not the power of destruction, but the power of rebirth, as long as you don't give them a fatal blow with a blow, they can recover their strength and heal their scars under the magic of the life mage, so they are very difficult monsters." Especially for ordinary infantry, if they lack the ability to kill each other with one hit, then the 'Blades of Grass' legion will become a nightmare. ”
Lei subconsciously looked at the fifteen infantry teams behind him, and just about to say something, Wei had already ordered loudly: "All the cavalry advance at full speed and rush to the Turk Canyon." The infantry hurried with all their might, striving to arrive within half a day of the cavalry being engaged in the battle, and no delay was forbidden. It seems that the enemy has divided a third of his forces and headed towards the Turk Gorge, where there are less than 10,000 defenders and it is impossible to withstand their attack. The main army of Lord Kai, their fate is in our hands, this is their only retreat, everyone, please. ”
Wei raised her sword high, and then swung it down heavily, and the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly became loud, and all the cavalry roared and galloped out. The infantry of the fifteen regiments, under the command of the commanders of the three divisions, under the reprimand of the team commander, under the curse of the squadron leader, and under the desperate urging of the squad leader, ran desperately towards the north. It was two days away from the Turk Gorge, and it would take at least seven days for the infantry to get there with all the horses running at all, and according to the normal marching time, these infantry would have taken at least seven days to get there, and they were definitely too tired to have any combat effectiveness, but since Wei had already given this order to ruin the boat, they had to carry it out, even if it was death.
In the hall of the castle lord of Karatu, Karin roared angrily: "Such a large living person has been lost in the city, and you don't know it? What a damn bastard, what use do I want from you? How do you protect my poor counselor... Strange, strange, who would deal with a sixth-order mage who 'did not have any danger'? Could it be the remnants of the Vatican Empire? Yes, but it is unlikely, who can approach him without being detected by him? Unless... Unless it's our own ... Damn, where did Clester go?"
Several of his subordinate corps commanders looked at each other and were speechless. Karoka whispered, "Cleist, the playboy? We didn't pay attention to him, maybe, maybe he's fooling around somewhere in the city?"
Carlin roared, "Even if he is an idiot, his father is the Duke of Shalu after all, the Duke of Shalu... If he learns of our plans and returns to the Empire like that, then ... No, Karoka, you take the Red Scorpion Legion back, hurry up, no matter what, you have to suppress those lords for me in the Emperor, and contact the big nobles who support us, and they should also prepare for war. As soon as I have cleaned up the Vatican Empire, I will immediately return with the army. ”
Karoka asked, "Does it really need to be?"
Carlin nodded silently, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe, maybe we need to plan how we should prepare if the Smart Empire starts a civil war." However, Karoka, your task is to stabilize the situation at home, and I must not allow those eight old fellows a chance to re-recruit, train, and equip a powerful army against me, especially when I am about to achieve complete victory. Karoka, dear, please. ”
Karoka approached Carlin, hugged him tightly, and whispered, "Then, you must be careful, I am not by your side, you must pay attention to your own safety no matter what, understand? I don't want to see a seriously injured you crawl back to the imperial capital, the imperial throne, it's yours, dear... ”
Karoka turned around and rushed out with the senior generals of the Red Scorpion Legion, while Carlin muttered in a low voice: "Damn, you don't have to say goodbye to me... Every time, you see, you're a knight and I'm just a poor magician, you can snap my ribs with one finger, really... Alas, it really frightens me to live with such a violent woman for a hundred years in the future. ”
The knights and generals around him ignored this sentence and didn't take it into their minds, otherwise, they might get themselves into some trouble in the future. Carlin said to himself, "When the Black Serpent and the Judgment Legion arrive, we can launch a general attack." Hehe, the Five Beast Legions only have less than 220,000 troops in the four legions of Crazy Dragon, Flying Phoenix, Tyrannical Lion, and Jaguar, and the total strength of their three major military systems is 520,000 troops. But after a series of battles, and the sending of troops to stay in various places, they still have a maximum of 400,000 men here... Shapoko, how many troops do we have?"
Sha Boke said in a deep voice: "My lord, our Smart Empire is concentrated here, except for the Red Scorpion Legion who has returned to the Empire, there are also eight legions of 250,000 horses... It is not clear how many troops the Black Snake Legion has left. A while ago, we were indeed hit hard by the Five Beast Legions, and without causing too much damage to the other side, we were annihilated by 40,000 people. If it weren't for the defense of the city walls, I'm afraid we wouldn't have enough for them to eat... The Silver Sword Legion of the Wright Empire sent an army of 100,000, of which 40,000 were killed, and 60,000 more. The Dak Empire sent an army of 130,000, but 20,000 light horsemen were wiped out, and now there are only 110,000 horses. On the whole, we are on par with the military power of the Vat Empire. But if it weren't for our team of magicians intimidating each other, I'm afraid the city of Karatu would have been burned to the ground. ”
Carlin grew his mouth and roared in surprise: "Is there a high mistake, there are 300,000 horses and horses from the six major legions of the imperial capital, plus the 200,000 horses of the four major guerrilla legions that I brought out at the beginning, is there only so little left now?"
Sha Boke was silent, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said: "My lord, you have been so happy to play on the Qingfeng Plain, you have lost a lot of money against the 'Green Field Legion', and you have also lost a lot against the enemy of the Silver Wolf Legion. After the Five Beast Legion officially appeared, many divisions and regiments did not have time to retreat and were annihilated by them, plus we left some garrison troops in the two eastern provinces, so... ”
Carlin opened his mouth and sighed, "Then, the Black Snake Legion had better leave me with at least more than forty thousand men, otherwise it won't be of much use if they come." I hope they have more left, after all, according to my judgment, Kai will leave 60,000 to 70,000 men on that line at most, and if they lose too much, it will be too disappointing for me. ”
Shapoke nodded: "Yes, the Ritter, Wright, Dark, and Levle empires are all worried that the coalition forces will not be able to resist the army of the Van Empire, and they are also afraid that the transfer of all the troops will affect the domestic political situation, especially the rebellion in some places in the Darker Empire, so the soldiers they sent are not enough... According to your plan, the Blades of Grass legion will take the Turk Gorge, so their army of 70,000 won't arrive. ”
Carlin cursed, "Damn it, every single one of them has asked for the territory of the Van Empire, but now look at it, the forces they have given me are not enough for me to launch a full-scale offensive." If it weren't for the fact that my plan was so perfect that no one else could have imagined it, we would have lost cleanly. Damn, they have supported such a small number of troops, and their combat effectiveness is still so poor, the Van Empire can't deal with it, and what else are they talking about dealing with the iron cavalry of the Bicester Empire? Luckily, I had a good plan. ”
In the corner of the hall, the young man who had been sitting quietly was very tall, and the young man who sat on the chair with such a tall neck smiled: "Oh? If, I mean, if I help you defeat the Van Empire, I'll get that piece of land?"
Carlin looked at him indifferently: "Anyway, you can do it, the Black Snake Legion and the Ruling Legion will arrive in two days, and it will be up to you to do what you do." Anyway, that land is not mine, my appetite is only in the four southern provinces, and although the land you want produces a lot of timber, leather, livestock, and minerals, I don't care to give it to you. You're so cute compared to the Wright Empire's guys who want to take advantage and don't want to help. If it were possible, I would really like to make an eternal covenant with you. ”
The young man sneered: "Forget it, the Vat Empire is still your ally, right? Your country and the Vat Empire have not yet torn up that agreement. However, in my opinion, your credibility is the same as the girl's first ye, and it is too worthless to shatter it with a little force. I just want you to remember that if I can help you take out the Van Empire, I will be able to help the Van Empire to kill you again... The army of the Van Empire is the strongest in the continent, but they don't dare to face our onslaught, when you can't really combine all the strengths of the five countries... Take my words to heart. ”
He stood up slowly, and the terrifying figure that was three heads taller than ordinary people suddenly brought a strong sense of depression to the entire hall, and he sneered a few times, and walked out.
As soon as the young man left, Carlin cursed: "Damned barbarian, ******, when the time comes, hum... That land is close to the territory that the Wright Empire has predetermined, and you will slowly fight for each other. Livestock, minerals, which country doesn't need it? As long as I have food from the four southern provinces, it is enough to ensure the safe development of the Smart Empire for thirty years. ”
Immediately afterward, Carlin fell into deep distress, muttering to Shapoko, "My plan was perfect, but why did we lose so many people? ”
Sha Boke hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "My lord, you are too much... Many divisions would not have been lost, but you scattered them too much. The Five Beast Legions swept all the way together with their troops, and our forces were too scattered. The Duke wants me to tell you not to go too far. Even those more than 100 high-level mages didn't need to die. ”
Carlin muttered: "Hmph, war, it's a game, what's the point of dying a few more people." Anyway, Kai, that old guy must be happy that he is about to win now, right? Hmph, see how I kill you... Isn't that a good thing, they're still sweeping up those poor recruits?"
Shapoco smiled, "Yes, I think, if I'm not mistaken, the main force of the Silver Wolf Legion is still dealing with those poor guys." Although Shapoco was dissatisfied with Carlin's cold-blooded treatment of soldiers, and saw it as a game of numbers, after all, Carlin's plan was very successful, and he didn't need to anger Carlin. So, Shapoko retracted his prepared words to persuade Carlin.
Three days later, the cavalry led by Wei arrived less than thirty miles away from the Turk Gorge, which was already close to the mountainous area, and the Van Empire spent a lot of energy and spent hundreds of years building a road leading to the canyon in the mountainous area, which facilitated the transportation and communication between the northern and southern territories of their own country, but at this moment it was also convenient for the attack of the 'Blades of Grass' legion. They also seemed to be desperately rushing forward, so the Silver Wolf Legion chased after it for three days while retaining the minimum horsepower, but it only happened to step on the tail of the Blades of Grass. They just don't know that the enemy in front of them is what Auf calls the difficult Blades of Grass Legion.
The wind blew from the other side of the mountain, and the towering peaks could already be seen in the distance, the Tritcatan Mountains that traverse the east and west of the continent, together with the deserts to the north, the deserts to the east, and the great rivers, forming a natural barrier to the seventeen northern provinces of the Van Empire. As for the north-western direction of the northern territory, it is already a passage to another continent, where there is a large area of uninhabited grassland. The coalition forces of the Smart Empire will not come from there for tens of thousands of miles anyway, absolutely not.
Seeing that she was about to approach Turk Canyon, Vic suddenly gave the order to rest in place for two hours. Her reasoning was: "If the canyon has been conquered, then we will take it back, and for the ensuing battle, we need physical strength." If the canyon is not overcome, then we must rest well and then go to reinforce the garrison in the form of a fresh army. In any case, a tired army cannot defeat the enemy. ”
Wei jumped up a large tree, looked at the northern foot of the mountain for a while, and shook her head, she couldn't see anything. However, she pondered in her heart: "The enemy is rushing so fast, so they don't have much physical strength left." If they go into battle right away, I'm afraid they won't be able to conquer the canyon at all... We must rest. People can hold on, but horses can't. ”
Sitting in the shade of a large tree, Lei stroked the neck of his war horse and asked, "Lord Auf, does the enemy have to pass through this canyon before he can attack the northern territory of our empire?"
Offh proudly pulled the plug off the water bag, took a few sips of water, and said, "Of course." To the west of the northern territories of the empire was the sea, and no country could launch a large-scale attack from the sea. The north was a vast desert, there was no water, no grass, nothing, the movement of the army was greatly restricted, and it was enough for the private armies of several lords to defend there. In particular, the Bicester Empire has a very good relationship with us, how can it be possible to let the enemy come from there? To the east, to the northeast is the desert, and it is impossible for the Wright Empire to attack from there. As for the border between the Dak Empire and ours, there is a very wide river, and they can't cross that river. So this time, Wright and Darker will use the Smart Empire to invade from the Qingfeng Plain. ”
Lei pondered for a while and asked, "But what about the northwest?"
Auf smiled: "Don't you know what's in the northwest?"
Ray shook his head. Auf nodded, sighed and said: "yes, the northwest direction, hehe, ordinary people are not allowed to know these things, the northwest direction, has the continent's first male city 'Divine City'... Hey, that place, but... ”
Ray asked, "But what?"
A cold snort came, and Auf was shocked, and hurriedly snorted haha: "Ah, this, you'll know later." Haha, Master Wei has something to do with me, I'll go take a look. ”
Lei was stunned, looking at Wei who was standing more than ten meters away with a cold face, he really couldn't understand why she was angry. Isn't it the number one city on the mainland? What is there to keep secret? However, speaking of which, he really hasn't heard of any rumors of this castle, and Lei only knows that the 'Iron Blood Battle Castle' is known as the second in the mainland. Even Uncle Sturt, who had been a soldier, didn't know where the first castle on the continent was. Is that really a secret? It seems that the nobles know the relevant news, why can't the commoners know about it?
Civilians can't own land, civilians can't leave their settlements for 300 miles, civilians can't learn vindictiveness, civilians can't... Alas, too many restrictions.
Lei was sighing there, and Wei had already given the order: "Okay, everyone get ready, the division commander is responsible for the offensive direction of his subordinate divisions, and the team leader must pay attention to leading everyone to attack the opponent's weak links." The enemy is in front, we should set off, keep the horsepower, don't run, and give them a surprise when we find the enemy. ”
Under the leadership of Wei, the Silver Wolf Legion galloped forward without hurry, and rushed to the outside of the Turk Canyon just when the horses were running hot and their physical strength was at its peak. And Wei scolded in a low voice: "Blades of Grass, damn guys... ”
The barracks built on both sides of the canyon had been breached, and a dozen of them were fighting with a large number of infantry in green armor inside and outside the canyon. But it seems that they are in a bad condition, and at most 3,000 people are still fighting, and the rest have been turned into dead bodies. About 20,000 cavalrymen in green armor had dismounted, and sat on the ground laughing and watching the battle in the canyon, they had the absolute upper hand, and they had won.
Wei shook her head and sighed: "It seems that it is not that we are too slow, but that they are too quick to eliminate the Praetorian Guards on the defensive line, and their infantry has already arrived here, that is, they left at least two days earlier than us." After all, it took us so much time to get back to the meeting point. ”
Wei's hand was raised, and the sword was pointed at the knights sitting on the ground. Karl, Jerry, and Auf were like three arrows, and the first to rush out on horseback, followed by their own personal guards, and then, countless horsemen silently urged the horses' hooves and rushed out along the road. More cavalry rode out from the sparse woods on either side of the road.
Ray had a big problem, that is, he couldn't get his horses in the woods well, and by the time he rode his horse out of the woods, Auf and the others had already rushed close to the cavalry of the Blades of Grass outside of Rich. Lei was stunned for a moment, looked at the thousand silver wolf heavy riders behind him, and suddenly roared: "Damn, what are you doing with me? My riding skills are terrible, are you also stupid? ”
With a wave of the spear in his hand, Ray rushed out with a thousand heavy horses. However, he still had a heart, he saw that the cavalry led by Wei and Karl had rushed into the ranks of the Blades of Grass Cavalry, and there was no open space to accommodate their assault, so he took his subordinates and roared and rushed towards the infantry of the Blades of Grass at the mouth of the canyon.
Not to mention that the cavalry of the Blades of Grass Legion, who were watching the excitement, were caught off guard by the heavy cavalry that rushed like lightning, and they were killed one by one on the ground. Not to mention that the five thousand archers of the Flying Phoenix Legion also rushed towards the canyon quickly, just talk about thunder, when he led the team to rush to the entrance of the canyon from the slope, he found a large number of mages wearing milky white robes and emerald green grass and trees on the road.
It seemed to be a natural instinct, with a finger of the thunder spear, a thousand iron horsemen roared and rushed towards the more than 2,000 mages, and the first row of hundreds of bayonet spears roared out, and those stunned mages were so frightened that they couldn't move, and the whole was picked up. The frantically galloping horses neighed, the horses' hooves trampled wildly, and more mages were trampled to death.
Ray's spear swung like a whirlwind again, and a cloud of silver light shrouded a radius of more than ten meters, this area, even his subordinates did not dare to approach, only heard the 'whirring' wind roaring, followed by the terrifying sound of broken bones, white figures flew out of the silver light, and those mages were smashed out with broken howls.
The Blades of Grass Legionnaires at the entrance of the canyon spotted Ray and they were slaughtering their own mages, and with a fierce shout, they rushed over with a roar of rage, ignoring the Van soldiers who were about to be cut down by themselves. Thunder roared: "Go to five hundred people, stop them no matter what." So, under the leadership of the three golden knights, five squadrons rushed forward with a roar. Cold light flashed in the air, and the blades of grass soldiers fell to the ground with a miserable howl.
The Van soldiers at the mouth of the canyon escaped death, and when they saw their army coming to help, they all cheered wildly for a while, and they didn't care about the wounds on their bodies, they just waved their swords so fiercely and brutally, and chased after these soldiers of the Blades of Grass Legion to kill them.
And Ray and the five hundred heavy cavalry left behind were frantically chasing and killing the soldiers who were scattered and fleeing. Ray had a vague impression that, according to Auf, it would be a terrible thing to let these mages survive. In any case, he couldn't let these mages live.
However, people are always able to give full play to their potential at critical moments. Ray finally understood this firsthand, these frail mages, seeing the fierce and vicious Thunder kill dozens of their own companions, after a scream, the girl ran away, and they ran so quickly. There are a lot of rocks near the canyon, although many of them have been eradicated because of the road, but after all, the terrain is uneven, and it is not suitable for cavalry to rush and assassinate. And the thunder that has just been trained in riding is even more troublesome. Accidentally, the hooves of his war horse twisted, and he suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
Lei tumbled and crawled on the ground a few times, took off his helmet in a hurry, quickly took off his armor, and began to chase and kill with a spear on his shoulder. His speed was about the same as that of a horse, and his pace was much more agile than that of a war horse, so these mages were unlucky all of a sudden, and whoever caught up with him was guaranteed to be stabbed in the back of the heart with a shot, and then flew several meters and smashed heavily on the rocks.
However, these mages were too clever, and in the moment of life and death, they exerted their abilities that they didn't even expect, and they just let Lei chase out of breath, and only then did they kill two. As for the five hundred heavy horsemen left, there is no need to mention, the rocks on the ground have blocked their war horses, where can they catch up?
Fortunately, the archers arrived. The commander of these archers spotted Ray and the embarrassment of their subordinates, and with a wave of his hand, three hundred archers left the brigade and rushed over. They kept firing their bows and arrows, shooting and killing these mages accurately. The cold light flashed in the eyes of the thunder, and the mages let out a terrible cry and fell to the ground, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the archers, carry their spears and shout, and rush to the entrance of the canyon with five hundred heavy horses.
At the mouth of the canyon, the soldiers of the Blades of Grass Legion rushed over in all directions, and the five hundred heavy cavalry formed a circle formation, and those who dared to rush close would smash them with their guns, and those in the distance would quickly rush forward and stab, forcing those infantry to be unable to get close for a while. But after all, the opponent was too numerous, and after they killed a soldier, they always had to pull out their spears with great effort, and for a while, the speed of assassination could not keep up with the speed of the soldiers, forcing their circle to gradually shrink.
Fortunately, 4,700 archers arrived in time, and their arrows came in a dense manner, and suddenly countless blades of grass infantry fell to the ground with shouts, and many soldiers habitually forcibly pulled out their arrows, but suddenly realized that their mages were being hunted down, and they could not apply restoration magic to them at all. Thinking of this, they suddenly seemed to have ten times more pain in their bodies, and they screamed even more violently.
Over there, the cavalry brigade led by Wei easily annihilated the unprepared Blade Grass Cavalry, and after a little rectification, the horses' hooves rumbled over.
And those grass blade infantry saw that those archers had inflicted a large number of casualties on themselves, and suddenly under the mobilization of the commander, they divided into several teams and began to outflank the routes of the archers. The archers could not, but could only gradually retreat, and the support for the surrounded cavalry was suddenly weakened by most of it.
Seeing that their companions had driven away the archers, the Blades of Grass infantry burst into cheers and desperately slaughtered the five hundred cavalry surrounded by them. Lei had already rushed over with another five hundred subordinates, he unfolded his spear, his hands trembled again and again, and he saw that the three-meter spear made a 'pop pop' sound, and clusters of silver light whistled and flashed, and clusters of blood splashed out of the chests of those blades of grass infantry.
Like a sharp knife, Lei roared wildly and led his subordinates to rush to the surrounded cavalry, his team soldiers let out cheers, and those regular knights also followed the example of thunder, abandoned their horses, drew their swords and sabers, and began to destroy the enemies surrounding them with their strong personal strength.
Thunder roared, the wind from the spear grew louder and louder, and arcs of silver light twisted in the air, and all blades of grass soldiers who approached were mercilessly smashed in the head. In the end, wherever Thunder went, the blades of grass and infantry fled in disarray. This phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the Blades of Grass Infantry Commander, and he saw a bronze first-order knight rushing back and forth in his brigade, no one dared to do it, and suddenly there was an angry roar, and after the figure flashed a few times, it had appeared in front of Lei, and a sword slashed towards Lei Dang's head.
'Snort', a strange sound of breaking the air sounded in the air, thunder was shocked, he was also experienced, this was a unique sound when the powerful fighting spirit tore through the air. His spear stabbed forward a few times, then he dropped it and turned away. With a snort, his spear was split in two by a sword, and a white sword qi followed his heart closely, Rao was running faster than the galloping horse, and he couldn't dodge this sword qi.
Ray felt the pressure behind him grow, he suddenly roared, grabbed the blades of grass infantry around him with both hands and threw them back. The blades of grass infantry in metal armor were thrown out by him like scarecrows, and with the sound of 'puff, puff, puff', the sword qi finally disappeared after cutting through the bodies of seven soldiers.
Lei Meng turned his head and glared at the golden fifth-order knight fiercely. And the knight was also looking at him fiercely, seeing that Lei actually dared to look back at himself, he immediately shouted and scolded, and flew up to kill him with a sword. Thunder screamed, "******, why are you chasing me?" and turned to leave. Several golden knights in his team were shocked, and hurriedly rushed over, and they all used their fighting energy to kill the golden fifth-order knight.
The sword aura overflowed, and more than a dozen silver wolf heavy horsemen were randomly chopped off their horses, while the golden knights under the command of thunder were forced back by the fierce sword qi. The golden knight cleared up the people who interfered with his pursuit of thunder with a single sword, and rushed over with a sneer.
Seeing that Ray was about to be killed by the knight, a spear suddenly stabbed over, and the spear flashed with a piercing cyan light, and fought hard with the knight's sword. 'Ouch' yelled, Jerry's whole body was shaken off his horse, and he sat on the ground with his butt, unable to move for a long time. And the golden knight also trembled, and took three steps back.
The man sneered: "The Golden Fifth Order Knight of the Vat Empire, that's it. He didn't even look at Jerry, and stabbed his sword at the panicked Thunder.
A watery sword light broke through the air, and Wei's cold voice came: "What about the golden knight of the Levou Empire? Is it your great merit to bully one of my team leaders?"
Lei cheered, his eyes searched around, and suddenly he saw a dead horse on the ground, he was carrying his hands with his hands, his arms were bursting with green tendons, and he picked up the corpse of the war horse with one hand, and smashed it into the knight who was carefully dealing with Wei with a 'whew'.
The knight heard the wind in his ears, and without thinking about it, he waved his hand and slashed at it, and the sword roared, and the horse's corpse was split open by a sword, and then the internal organs and blood sprayed all over his body. The knight's eyes turned red, and he couldn't see anything. Wei across from him hesitated, not raising his sword to kill the knight, who could no longer fight, while Ray had already picked up a spear and stabbed the knight in the chest with a single shot.
Karl, who was frantically assassinating with cavalry in the distance, roared even more frantically: "Ray, you bastard... I actually killed another high-level knight, and your kid's luck is too good, why do I only have the silver fifth order at the highest level here?"
Lei Gaga let out a strange laugh, waved his spear and turned around and threw himself into the group of enemies behind, forgetting to thank Wei. Wei looked at the knight's corpse and muttered, "It's very unwilling to die, isn't it?, it's sad to be killed by one of my team leaders?。。。 However, looking at your badge, you are the Marquis of Shayas, the legion of the Blades of Grass, no wonder your strength is so strong. The first military general of the Levou Empire, but he died here, hum... ”
Hearing Wei's words clearly, Jerry, who was sitting on the ground and rubbing his buttocks for a long time, sighed in a low voice: "Ray boy, I'm going to be promoted again, my God, when will I be promoted? I have to kill at least twenty Golden Knights to improve my rank." ”
Under the assault of the heavy cavalry, these grassy blades infantry after a long battle were annihilated. As Auf said, their combat effectiveness is really not very good, and they have lost the constant use of recovery magic for them
After the mages of the law, their combat effectiveness is really pitiful. And Ray, the lucky guy, was promoted to the rank of Bronze Knight because he was the first to discover those mages and killed dozens of them himself. Vi seems to have forgotten the credit for killing Shayas, and Jerry seems to have forgotten to remind Vey.
Looking at the corpses everywhere, Wei frowned, sighed and said: "It seems that the Blades of Grass Legion does not have many people, in the Xili Province, they left more than 10,000 corpses, and we killed nearly 60,000 people here, if we don't get the news of Krest, once the Leaves of Grass Legion arranges the defensive line, the consequences are really unimaginable." ”
Ray muttered, "They're weak." ”
Auf in front of him elbowed him hard in the abdomen, causing him to retract his grunt. Wei had already heard Ray's whisper, she looked at Ray seriously, and said, "Don't think that the Blades of Grass Legion is too weak, look at the battle, their cavalry is watching the excitement without any defense." Their infantry was struggling with the remnants of our garrison, and their mages let their guard down because there were no wounded. If it weren't for the inconvenience of cavalry at the entrance to the canyon, they would have been able to settle the battle a long time ago, and when the time comes, we will have to face the full force of their 60,000-strong army, and this time it is our luck, not our strength that is really enough to swallow them. Understood?"
Ray opened his mouth, speechless. However, Wei still comforted him: "However, I still have to credit you for your meritorious work, you sneaked up on their mage and lured their infantry brigade to rush out of the canyon, and when you reach the outside of the canyon, it is suitable for our cavalry to assault, so it is so convenient to kill them." If they ignore those mages and directly destroy our defenders and deploy them in the canyon, it will be very difficult for us to retake the canyon. ”
Karl laughed, "However, if they don't come out to the rescue of these mages, their defenses are not very strong." After all, the Holy See doctrine of the Levle Empire does not allow them to kill too much, so the combat effectiveness of the Blades of Grass Legion is very weak. ”
Wei nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement, and then, she looked in the southeast direction and said, "Karatu City, it's in that direction. The distance between Karatu and the Turk Gorge is much closer than where we set out, depending on the situation in the past few days, if Kai-sama and they are flanked by the front and back, we are their last retreat... But, perhaps, our military should be able to deal with the coalition forces, right? The Blades of Grass has a total strength of 150,000, and only 70,000 people have been dispatched in total, so it seems that there are many contradictions within the coalition army. ”
Auf asked, "So, my lord, what are we going to do now?"
Wei pointed to the scarred garrison soldiers, and then pointed to the broken barracks and fences near and far, and drank: "Save your brothers, and then repair those fences, we must be mentally prepared for the worst." Hopefully, let's hope that Lord Kai won't fail. Fighting head-on, if Lord Kai defends with all his might, it is impossible for anyone to break through the army he leads. ”
Indeed, Kai's men now have an army of 400,000, plus the 150,000 iron horsemen of the Bicester Empire, there is no reason to defeat in any case. Although the strength of the coalition forces exceeded the number of their soldiers, in terms of quality, the combat effectiveness of the two sides was completely disproportionate. If they concentrate on defense, it will be difficult for those magicians to play a role, and it is impossible for them to suffer defeat.
Wei smiled at several division commanders: "Perhaps, I was too worried, and that Christ's words made me too nervous." Although the other commander's plan was made in this way, they did not have the strength to defeat the main army led by Lord Kai. ”
Several division commanders, including Carl and them, thought about it for a long time, and then slowly nodded and agreed with Wei's opinion. However, in any case, the defense of the entrance to the canyon still had to be rebuilt, and now they had tens of thousands of troops on hand, plus the 15,000 infantry who were about to arrive later, and it was still possible to build a wooden fence in a few days.
To everyone's delight, the soldiers who had sent the captives to the northern provinces arrived, and they had brought with them the private armies of the two lords, a full fifty thousand well-trained private legions. They had come here to strengthen the defenses of the Turk Gorge by order of the Minister of War. Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Don't look at our Minister of War as old and lustful, at some times, in some aspects, he is very prescient. ”
In the past few days, the infantry team behind Wei had already arrived panting, and a three-tiered, six-mile-long wooden fence had been hurriedly built at the entrance of the canyon, and a deep horse trap had been dug out, which had to rely on more than a dozen drawbridges to pass.
In Ruxu's civil engineering, Lei showed what kind of ability the so-called person with strange powers is, he can carry a big tree by himself, and he digs several times more earth and rocks than other soldiers in a day, which really makes the soldiers around him dumbfounded. In addition, he is a team leader anyway, so Lei, who took the lead, really inspired the morale of all the soldiers, and they worked frantically one by one, which is also the reason why this line of defense can be completed in just a few days.
Jerry looked at Ray, who was covered in dust and mud, and a bunch of soldiers working hard together, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh and said, "If there is such a person under my command, hehe, my soldiers must be trained hardest in the empire." After all, soldiers need a role model... I can't, I don't want to dig desperately. ”
The other noble knights also nodded with concern, nonsense, they are nobles, although they can all be regarded as qualified soldiers, but the face of the nobles does not allow them to do those rough labor. Therefore, having such a hard-working and capable team leader or division commander as Lei is really a blessing for a person who is a general. However, seeing Wei's appreciative look at Lei, they knew that it was impossible to dig Lei from Wei's subordinates to his subordinates.
After a few days of hard work, Lei only felt that the internal qi in his body was a little stronger, and the muscles and bones in his body began to itch. Unbeknownst to him, hard work was an external stimulus that stimulated his body to begin to grow rapidly. This is also the reason why Ray has always felt hungry lately, he is desperately trying to grow tall, so he needs to take more nutrition.
After the defensive line was successfully built, Wei assigned the task and sent Karl's division, now a force of 10,000 heavy cavalry, to patrol the area twenty miles outside the gorge, ready to meet the main army that would return in case of defeat. In everyone's mind, this is not going to happen, and in any case, it is just a preparatory measure.
However, the morning after the defensive line was completed, Karl and his cavalry brigade encountered something that stunned them, and even reduced their morale to zero. The remnants of the Van soldiers roared and rushed towards the Turk Gorge, while behind, the dense coalition soldiers laughed wildly and slashed and slashed the Van soldiers who had no intention of fighting and were bent on escaping. What made Carl feel even more incredible was that the only dragon legion that had maintained its intact structure, about 20,000 heavy horsemen desperately resisted, it was the 150,000 tall horses, like rushing iron bunkers.
Karl's mind was blank, wasn't the Bicester Empire his allies? Aren't their iron horsemen here to help him? But now they are actually mixed with the coalition forces of the other five countries and start attacking the Vant's army, what is going on?
A golden knight behind him roared frantically: "Betrayal, the Bicester Empire betrayed us, they betrayed us. ”
With a roar, Karl led 10,000 heavy horsemen to charge towards 150,000 Bicester Iron Horsemen. They clearly saw that the 150,000 horses of Bicester were even wearing heavy leather armor on the iron cavalry, and if they were not killed, then the entire Van Imperial army might be caught up and outflanked by them before they rushed to the gorge, plus the coalition army in the rear, it was enough to eat the few remaining Vantian troops.
In any case, even if you fight for your life, you have to stop the footsteps of the Bicester Iron Horseman, even if it is only for a short time, and this will be enough for the remnants of the Van Te army to flee to Turk Canyon. The spear in Karl's hand began to emit a scorching wave of energy, and his fighting spirit had been released without reservation, and he rushed to the Bicester cavalry first, and with a loud roar, he shot away a Bicester cavalryman in heavy iron armor.
The silver wolf heavy cavalry gave the Bicester heavy cavalry a hard blow from the oblique time, causing their right flank to be slightly confused, but their number was too small, and an unusually tall Bicester cavalry looked at this side indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, 30,000 iron horsemen rushed over with a roar, enveloping Carl and them.
The commander of the team of dragon riders was Kai, who was covered in blood, and he was pleasantly surprised to see Carl and them, and shouted with full courage: "Carl, canyon?"
Karl gasped, stabbed the tall and heavy Bicester cavalry to death one by one, and roared loudly: "My lord, please rest assured, we have stabilized the defense of the Turk Canyon and constructed a strong defensive line, please hurry up and command all the soldiers to retreat to the canyon, be quick, their pressure is too great." ”
Kai Chang snorted, and more than a dozen generals suddenly broke away from the brigade of the Wild Dragon Legion, and began to gather the chaotic Vantian Imperial soldiers with a group of soldiers.
With a 'whoosh', a thick mace grazed Carl's shoulder, and with a 'snort', Carl's shoulder was covered with flesh and blood, making him snort in pain. It was a knight of the Bicester Empire, and looking at his coat of arms, it was the pattern of an ice bear, a giant beast unique to the northern desert, and on the hooves of the ice bear, five sharp claws protruded. This is the strongest Bear Knight in the Bicester Empire, and like the Royal Honorary Knight of the Van Empire, he is the most powerful warrior in the empire who can have his own unique badge.
Karl retreated, but the mace whistled back, shattering his horse's head to pieces. Karl had already flown on his legs before the horse fell, and the spear was fired at the Bear Rider. With a snort, the Bear Knight's armor shattered, and the knight rode back, his strength was much greater than Karl's, but his skills were far inferior, and the two sides were tied.
10,000 silver wolf heavy cavalry fought desperately, but the Bicester Iron Cavalry was known as the most powerful cavalry on the mainland, under their heavy impact, the bayonet spears of the Silver Wolf Heavy Cavalry were twisted one after another, and the size of those Bicester cavalry was generally a head taller than the Vants, and the body was covered with an inch thick pig iron armor, and the horse that sat down was produced after the cross between a specially selected good horse and a mysterious beast, and the 'Thunder Beast' that was two heads higher than ordinary horses, plus the heavy mace they wielded, Heavy guillotine knives and other murder weapons, the silver wolf heavy cavalry couldn't help but be dwarfed.
Karl sharply repelled the attacks of a dozen Bicester horsemen in a row, and his hands were already limpant. He smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, such an iron horse, there are only 150,000 people in the entire continent, fortunately, the food and grass of the Bicester Empire are always insufficient, they must rely on the assistance of our empire, otherwise, this iron horse of theirs is enough to make the entire continent have nightmares." ”
The total strength of the Bicester Empire was only 150,000.
The unusually tall Bicester cavalry indifferently watched the brigade of the Dragon Legion being surrounded, and immediately nodded slightly, as if he was a little satisfied. But looking at the silver wolf heavy cavalry still struggling to rush back and forth, he suddenly scolded dissatisfiedly, and personally turned the horse's head and rushed over. Behind him, more than a dozen furious bear knights with hundreds of high-ranking knights roared and rushed over.
The two palm-wide, two-meter-long giant swords of the ordinary man were easily swung by the Bicester cavalryman, and they swung towards Karl with a cold aura.
Karl raised his gun and slammed it into the blade. The greatsword paused slightly, and then, the gun broke, the man broke, and Karl was broken in two by the man's sword.
The Silver Wolf Heavy Riders were stunned, and they roared and charged at the Bicester cavalry. And the cavalry sneered, urging the particularly tall 'Thunder Beast' to sit down, the giant sword flew left and right, and the sword slashed the attacking silver wolf heavy horse. Everywhere the sword light went, the corpses of people and horses flew together, blood splattered wildly, and it was a pure hellish scene.
Kai, who witnessed all this, roared frantically: "Prince Bobkat, what you did today, I will definitely remember, you wait, our Van Empire will be the first to destroy your Bicester Empire." ”
The cavalryman, no, Prince Bobkaat of the Bicester Empire replied indifferently: "Yes, how can you destroy me Bicester?
Kai roared: "Wait and see, all of your 150,000 heavy horsemen have arrived here, as long as we defend the Teke Canyon, there will not be a single soldier in the Bicester Empire, and the army of the four lords of my north will break through, and you Bicester Empire will not be destroyed by the Bicester Empire." ”
Bobkat's face changed, and he suddenly abandoned the silver wolf heavy riders like moths to a flame, and rushed towards Kai to kill him.
Kai roared: "Brothers, fight, break out of the encirclement and advance towards the Teke Canyon, this is Lao Tzu's order." Tell Lord Wei to write to the imperial capital, and destroy their empire while the Bicester army is away... Hahahaha, Bobkat, what can you do to me?" his voice rolled out, and the wild dragons and silver wolves from near and far agreed one after another, and walked out with a shout.
With a cold face, Bobkat slashed the two golden knights of the Dragon Legion, and said in a fierce voice: "Will I give you that chance? He also felt a little chill in his heart, if he couldn't break through the Turk Canyon, then the Bicester Empire would now have no resistance at all, and he could only let the Van Empire slash and kill. He cursed, "Damn Karlin, aren't you boasting about the perfection of your plan, and if anything goes wrong in my country, I'll be the first to kill you." ”
The giant sword flew wildly, trying to rush into Kai, and under Kai's leadership, the dragon and the silver wolf heavy rider had converged into one place, frantically breaking through the encirclement of a Bicester iron knight and retreating towards the Turk Canyon. Bobkat roared, and the 20,000 bist horsemen galloping around the periphery surrounded them from all directions, and they were about to surround them again.
But I don't know why, in the woods in front of me, countless Vants soldiers suddenly rushed out, even including the deserters who had just broken up, and they frantically brandished their weapons and rushed towards the Bicester Iron Cavalry Brigade. Before they arrived, a dense rain of arrows had already rained down.
The guerrilla cavalry on both sides was taken by surprise, often surrounded by a dozen infantrymen, and then stabbed them down with spears, or they were cut into meat sauce by continuous crazy chopping, taking advantage of this opportunity, the few remaining dragons, silver wolf heavy cavalry and infantry converged, covered each other, and walked along the road, towards the woods.
Bobkat roared, "You can go, Kai, old immortal, leave your life behind." He rushed forward with a frenzied horse, and whenever there were any Vantas soldiers who stood in the way, he slashed them with a random sword, and those people were cut into two without exception.
Kai Meng turned around and roared, "Then, come on." Bobkaat rushed too fast, and had already broken away from the Bicester brigade for more than two hundred meters, Kai no longer worried that he would be surrounded, so he simply burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and roared: "Wild dragon strikes." Hundreds of swords in a row condensed into a single sword, and the body flew up like a bird, and a lightning-like sword light shot towards Bobkat.
Bobkaat laughed wildly, a fighting aura with a strong cold aura came out of his body, and with a shake of the giant sword, an even more powerful sword aura shot out. The sword qi struck, and more than 100 soldiers on the sides of the two were shocked in embarrassment, and then, the sword blades of the two were violently loaded together. Bobkat's body trembled, and he sat down and let out a scream, and took a few steps back, the thick armor on his chest was shattered by the sword qi that shot everywhere, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
And Kai is even more ugly, Bobkaat is almost two as big as him, his physical strength is amazing, and the power of a sword makes him almost lose his breath. With a 'click' sound, his left arm had been slashed off shoulder-high by Bobkat's greatsword.
Kai roared, his body plummeted, and he fell to the ground. His mind was still clear, and he knew that he was going to die, and he could even see that the hideous-looking Bobkat was adjusting his horse's steps and was about to rush over. Kai sighed in his heart, he had fought for decades, and finally waited for this day, quite early, when Bobkat was born, he still escorted the envoy group to the Bicester Empire to congratulate, who knows, but he will die at his hands.
Kai wondered if he could think of this, and everything around him seemed to be in slow motion, and he could see it clearly. He saw several golden knights roaring and rushing to save him, but Bobkat's greatsword swung and those golden knights flew out with blood. Bobkat laughed maniacally and rushed towards him.
A small figure roared angrily, and suddenly picked up a boulder weighing thousands of pounds from the ground, and rushed towards Bobkaat like a violent beast. The huge stone brought a huge wind and smashed heavily into the ass of the 'Thundermon' under Bobkat from behind the side. With a loud 'click' sound, the back half of the 'Thunder Beast' was beaten into a ball of blood, and Bobkit, who was about to take off the Kai's head, fell down in embarrassment.
The stone swung again, and then slammed into Bobkat's chest, and with a loud bang, the small figure rushed over, grabbed Kai in one hand, and ran madly towards Turk Canyon like a galloping horse. He was too fast, and a real fast horse was like that, and he was nimble in his stride, and he was so quick to find the dense, grassy woods that the Bicester horsemen could not catch up with him under any circumstances.
Kai saw it clearly, the face with a hideous scar was Wei's little girl's subordinate, this kid, really... What is it? Kai didn't think about it anymore, his spirit was relieved, and he had already fainted. His fighting energy circulated in his body, naturally stimulating his muscles to block the blood-rushing shoulders and save his life.
When the Bicester knights saw that their prince was defeated, they all shouted in horror, and they did not care to chase and kill the Vant, and rushed to rescue their prince. Bobkat's body suddenly moved, and the boulder was swept away by him more than ten meters with one hand, and he struggled to stand up in embarrassment, yelling: "Damn, who is that bastard? It hurts me so much, understand? It hurts, you must capture him alive for me, I'm going to skin him, I swear... ”
Bobkaat was horrified: "That guy, is he still a Vant? This kind of strength, only our warriors in Bicester have it, he almost broke my ribs, damn it, it hurts... If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been beaten into meat sauce. ”
He calmed down his emotions for a while, looked at the coalition brigade that was rushing over the mountains and fields behind him, and roared frantically: "Kill, assault Teke Canyon, there are not many soldiers left in the Van Empire, no matter what, break them through for me... Haha, brothers, think about it, the richest land in the Van Empire will belong to us, we will have enough food, enough meat, enough wine and food, and there will be enough Van beauties, hahahaha, if any of you kills the lord of that territory, you are the new lord of that territory, understand?"
A mad bear knight roared, "Then, I'm going to kill the emperor of the Van Empire, hahahaha." ”
The Bicester Riders shouted wildly, and followed the Bobkaat on foot, frantically charging towards Turk Canyon.
In the distance, they saw the Turk Canyon, in front of the canyon, a deep trap was dug, and behind it was a wooden fence made of logs, and countless Van soldiers were tightly pulling the bowstring, staring at them. In the canyon, although it is still noisy with soldiers and horses, the defense line of the Van Empire has already played a role.
A strange cry came: "Strange, why hasn't that guy died after I smashed a stone? Is he a monster? Military Judge, the credit I reported for killing a Bicester cavalryman is nullified, wait until I kill one, and you can write it down again." ”
The Van soldiers burst into laughter, while the Bicester cavalry were furious, and at the behest of the enraged Bobkat, they rushed over like a flock of beasts...
