Chapter 316: Enemies Meet (1)
Merial looked at the catapults lined up around her, which at first glance looked indistinguishable from the ones they had used in previous battles, but in fact the throwing arms of these catapults had been modified by Tyrannar to match today's particular way of fighting. All of the throwing arms are projected at an angle that is almost horizontal, ninety-degree, almost straight up and down.
The soldiers thought they were dazzled when they saw such a throwing arm, and if they were used to throw explosive packets, they would not be able to blow themselves into the sky first, but Meria also explained the situation to each soldier, and these soldiers dared to stand behind the catapult and wait for Meria's order.
Behind the catapult troops, thousands of cavalry were ready, and the horses under their crotches were also exceptionally quiet, without making a sound, as if they had smelled the smell of war, the knights on horseback clenched their sabers, and each soldier had a crossbow machine and quiver hanging next to his saddle, these soldiers who were selected to participate in this battle had all passed the training of Kiru, maybe they could not use a bow and arrow on horseback to draw a bow and aim at it, but there was no problem with this crossbow arrow that could be fired by pulling the trigger.
"My lord, the soldiers are ready. β
Kiru is at the front of the cavalry team, and he still carries the wind bow given to him by Meria on his back, and the quiver next to Kiru's saddle is filled with special arrow clusters, forged in fine iron, and even the arrow shaft and tail feathers are forged from the best raw materials, he is one of the few generals in the Boer Territory now, and there is no problem with his physical condition, so Meria also made Kiru the commander of the cavalry team in this battle.
"Okay, this battle, it's up to you, after our magic attack, the enemy will lose combat effectiveness in a short time, you just need to fight quickly, remember, you can't let go of any Roya soldiers. β
"My lord, if anyone wants to surrender?" asked Kiru.
"Hmm...... You make all the soldiers who want to surrender lay down their weapons and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, and you let them go after the others. In a moment you pass on this order. β
"Okay. An inexplicable look flashed in Kiru's eyes: "I will definitely complete the task." β
Meria didn't perceive the meaning of Kiru's words, but nodded to Kiru, and quickly turned to the trebuchet's troops, Meria held a magic scroll on one side and a small bottle of potion on the other.
Suddenly, the magic scroll on Meria's left hand lit up with a faint blue light, and then a stream of pure magical energy poured out from the scroll, instantly coming to Meria's back, forming a pair of beautiful blue light wings, and the tips of the wings were also covered with a layer of blue halo, which looked particularly gorgeous in the night.
Meria's body rose into the air, which was the signal of the beginning of the battle, and the soldiers who were preparing to finish next to the trebuchet were all lit up with red and even orange light, and the fighting spirit passed through the skin of the explosive bag to the magic scroll inside.
"Launch!"
The one in charge of commanding the trebuchet was Moses, who took the initiative to take up the position, and at this time, his voice was a little sharp because of the violent fluctuations in his emotions, but this did not in any way reflect the momentum of the dwarf.
At Moses' command, the trebuchet threw all the explosive packets that were about to be burst by magical energy.
It was not so much a projectile as a catapult, the weight of the explosive packs was several times lighter than the original, and the modified throwing arm had a longer range than the original, and in a split second, these explosive packets containing magic scrolls flew into the air and flew after Meria's body.
The sudden light on the Great Plains also attracted the attention of some of the defenders of the Rorscha Pass, and now the morale in the Pass can be said to have dropped to what point, Sama has arranged for his subordinates to go to Loa City, urging Kagara to move quickly, but there are a certain number of deserters every night, and these deserters are quite energetic at night. Leaving the Roa Territory, they still have a lot of districts, and any lord of the Deathfjord will not dislike his large number of soldiers, and on this night, there are about two dozen soldiers who have discussed and prepared to leave the camp and go to the station of Noah's Second Legion.
As the soldiers emerged from their tents, they saw a sudden surge of blue light in the night sky in the distance.
"What's that?" the soldiers whispered, their eyes wide, "Could it be from Boer City?"
"You fart!, the people of the Bol Collar will only sneak around at night, where do they dare to expose themselves?" his companion whispered, "Oh no, it's a shooting star." β
"Have you ever seen a meteor flying off the ground?" another soldier questioned.
At this time, the blue "meteor" suddenly stopped flying upwards and stopped at a high altitude, and then these soldiers of the Luo Ya Collar saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
All kinds of colorful lights suddenly bloomed in mid-air, like gorgeous fireworks, and like a meteor shower that pierced the night sky, but this is not a simple firework, the night illuminated by the light is because of these "fireworks" The resulting fluctuations twisted and distorted, purple arcs of electricity burst in all directions, and crimson flames exploded, and the crystal clear ice crystals burst into countless ice slags in the night, which quickly turned into water in the heat, and these water liquids quickly drifted down towards the Rorschach Pass in the fierce wind generated by the magic scrolls.
The power of these magic scrolls is not very large, if it is used against the soldiers of Luo Yajun at a distance of tens of meters, the lethality is definitely not small, but at an altitude of more than 100 meters, coupled with such a long distance, the final formation is only strong wind and raindrops, and there is no substantial lethality at all, after the magic storm formed by dozens of magic scrolls, Meria has quietly crushed the mouth of the medicine bottle, and the milky white potion poured out from the mouth of the bottle, and in an instant, it merged with the water formed by magic.
Merial didn't dare to make any moves now, these magic scrolls were not released by her, and a large area formed by the mixing of these magic spells, even if she touched it, it would be instantly torn to pieces by the raging magical energy.
The movement in the sky carried out many soldiers of the Roya Collar, and even Sama and Gillias, who were in their sleep, were alarmed, and they ran out of the camp one after another, and came to the open field to watch the strange scene in the sky.
"What the hell are these Boer pigs doing?" Sama couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm: "So much magic, why did you run high in the air and release it?"
No one could answer his question, as the wind prevailed, all these "rains" fell to the Rorschach Pass, and the feeling of being drenched in the rain was not pleasant, but compared to the bomb bag attacks of the Boers at night, this seemed to be nothing at all, the soldiers looked at each other one by one, and some of them thought that the raindrops in the sky made their eyes uncomfortable, and they all fell to the ground, allowing themselves to soak in the rain.
Kiru looked up at Meria flying in mid-air, his eyes unblinking, and after a few moments, Kiru slowly withdrew his gaze. The magical energy in mid-air slowly dissipated, and the light that lit up the entire night sky also subsided little by little, and Kiru took a deep breath, now was the time to charge.
"The cavalry regiment belongs, charge!"
With a thud, Kiru pulled out the saber at his waist, the sound of the blade unsheathed was clearly audible, and with an order, Kiru himself had already kicked the soft belly of the war horse with his riding boots, and the whip fell, and the war horse quickly spread its hooves and galloped.
The cavalry troops are waiting for this moment, the movement and momentum of thousands of war horses galloping at the same time is absolutely terrifying, the entire Great Plains seems to be shaking at this moment, while charging on the front line, many soldiers have already taken the crossbow machine into their hands, the crossbow machine has been loaded with a group of crossbow arrows, the soldiers will raise the crossbow crossbow crosshair upwards, they want to use the strength of the war horse charge, the first row of crossbow arrows thrown out.
The sudden sound of war horses crashing on the Great Plains shook the entire Rorscha Pass, no matter what crooked ways in their minds, at this time all the soldiers raised their weapons in their hands, I didn't expect the Boer people to really launch a general attack after such a long time of temptation, and the people who lived in the Death Gap couldn't be clearer about the sound of war horses sprinting on the plains.
"Prepare to release the arrow!" Sama was also quite excited at this time, the opportunity for his own contribution had finally come, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard could completely exert their strength in such a battle, and he was still worried about the desertion, so the Boer people couldn't hold their breath and took the initiative to kill him, which was definitely the best gift given to him by the gods.
The soldiers on the front line of the Sekisho raised their bows and arrows, and the ruins of the Sekisho did not have any walls, only irregular earthen pits, and once the cavalry rushed up, there was nothing to stop their progress - except for bows and arrows, of course, covering the enemy's path with dense clusters of arrows would definitely inflict considerable damage on the enemy's cavalry.
But at this critical moment, many soldiers suddenly exclaimed.
Their consciousness is still clear, but the body is like a rusty gear, it is difficult to move at all, the strength in the body is emptied, even the bow and arrow with the least strength demand, these soldiers can't pull it away, and what's even more terrifying is that they feel that even if they stand here, they are becoming more and more strained, this is not the fatigue of insufficient sleep, nor the inconvenience of movement caused by physical injury, but the feeling that they know what kind of action to make in the next second, but the body is as motionless as a dead person.
Sudden fear befell every Roya soldier.
The production of this potion, Grave has a lot of new experience in it, the successful refining of the fake death potion, so that all kinds of rich a lot of new inspiration, originally this potion is to make people tired, plus listless, but the effect is obviously not as good as this new potion, Grave himself knows that kind of feeling that he is obviously conscious but can't do any reaction, and now he wants to let these soldiers who have imprisoned him enjoy this taste.
"Shoot the arrows! Fuck, what are these idiots doing?"
The distance of several thousand meters is not much time for the cavalry, Sama can already feel the tremor of the ground under his feet, the enemy's cavalry is getting closer and closer, but the soldiers on the front line have no response at all, really let the cavalry rush to the pass, these ordinary infantry are no different from the haystacks used for slashing practice on the training ground.
Gillias also panicked, he subconsciously wanted to move forward, but his arms, waist and abdomen completely lost strength, and the crutches under his ribs suddenly lost his balance, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
"What's going on?"
The unknown is definitely terrifying, especially when this fear also happens on the battlefield, seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, but he can't make any moves, many of Roya's soldiers are even scared to the point of feces and urine, and some soldiers close their eyes and wait for death to come.
Sama's body was still moving, but he also felt something strange in his body, and his mind flashed back to the scene that had appeared before, except for this sudden rain, everything was as usual, if there was any reason, it was caused by this rain.
When the defenders in the pass fell into the fear of death, the cavalry led by Boer rushed all the way to the distance of less than 500 meters in front of the pass, and all the cavalry were also wondering, could these Roya really sleep to death? They did not encounter any resistance in the whole process, but the soldiers would not delve into so much, since the enemy was lying on the ground waiting for death, all they could do was to bring death to the head of the enemy.
"Boom!"
A series of crossbow jets of the dull sound, dense crossbow arrows across the night sky, landed in the Rorscha Pass, this kind of untargeted scattering, originally could only play a suppressive role, but now it has caused a lot of damage, many soldiers of the Luo Yajun stared at the shield around them, but they just couldn't lift it, and then their bodies were shot through by dense clusters of arrows, some soldiers were very unlucky, because lying on the ground, many parts of the body were hit by arrows, but none of the arrows were shot at the point, these soldiers screamed on the ground, their bodies couldn't even convulse, and the blood stained their military uniformsγ
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Sama couldn't control so much at this time, no soldiers could resist, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard may have excellent physical fitness and were less affected by the rain, but how could these dozens of people face thousands of cavalry? Knowing that returning to Loya City was also more auspicious, it was better than dying on the battlefield.
