Chapter 20 The Battle Begins
Nado, the undead knight, raised his left hand, the steel glove slowly gurgling as his fingers clenched, as if to indicate his master's hesitation. Suddenly, Nado's left hand fell, pointed to the fence in front of the village, and cried out in a deep voice: "Cowardly, cowardly, fragile, despicable human slaves, rush up to me, and use your cunning heads to make a way for my brave soldiers." ”
The nine human slaves standing behind him heard this and rushed up to the fence monster in front of the village. They had firewood knives in their hands, and when they reached the edge of the fence, they slashed at the fence with them. The fence was originally tied with very thin and light branches, and the human slaves cut a large gap in it after only two cuts.
Lu Jingzhi saw that Nado had sent humans as the vanguard, which was also expected by him. Whether it's the Ados Army or the Windsor Army, humans are used to consume most of their time as cannon fodder for temporary conscription. Since Nado thinks that there is a trap here, he should let humans go first.
Just as the nine human slaves of the Ados Army were swinging their knives and slashing, Silly Silly Er suddenly appeared in front of them with a cruel smile. The Silly brothers were instructed by Lu Jingzhi to sneak up in front of the fence before the battle, hide and wait for the impact of the Ados army. However, their mission was to deal with the ghosts and zombies that rushed straight at them. Unexpectedly, the human slave soldiers rushed up first, and found them hiding behind the fence, so they had to stand up and beat them away first.
Lu Jingzhi saw the Silly brothers appearing, and hurriedly shouted: "Silly big Silly Er, throw them over to the young master." He wasn't worried that Silly Silly Er would not be able to defeat these cannon fodder soldiers of the Ados Army, although there were nine of them, which was an absolute advantage in numbers, but looking at the panicked appearance of those human slave soldiers, he knew that there was not much training at all, and at this time, he was frightened by the tall Silly Silly Two, and he had no will to fight for a long time. If he hadn't been afraid that he would be executed if he escaped, he would have turned around and gone against the enemy a long time ago.
When the stupid two heard this, they looked at each other and grinned, picked up the arms and legs of these human slave soldiers, and threw them into the village. Listening to a few banging and tom, and the incessant screams of hey, nine human slave soldiers lay in the middle of the village, unable to move, and the firewood knife in their hands had long since been thrown to know where it had been thrown.
The carpenter and charcoal maker hurried forward and tied the nine captives hand and foot like rice dumplings. While tying up, he whispered, "Don't resist, adults won't hurt you." With these words, the people who did it were all humans like themselves, and the nine slave soldiers who were captured obediently waited for them to be tied. It's just that these two masters can't tie them up, so they have to tie up these nine people like wood and firewood.
Nado was shocked to see that there was an ambush behind the fence, but when he saw that it was actually two tall and powerful humans, he was no longer worried. An ambush of this magnitude is nothing at all. Even if they are attacked from behind, they will kill at most two auxiliaries, which will not have much impact on the battle situation.
He shouted twice more in the ghost language, and ordered the halted attacking troops to attack again. The undead infantry attacked again with auxiliaries, but this time it was much slower and more cautious. In order to avoid another ambush behind the fence, the undead infantry and auxiliaries stabbed their swords behind the fence tentatively as they walked forward.
An undead infantryman stabbed out with a sword, and when he found that he hadn't stabbed anything, he took a step forward. Suddenly, I felt that I had stepped on something, and as soon as I moved on the ground, a huge figure suddenly popped up in front of me, a giant sword of the hand wheel, and slashed at the head. The infantryman was wearing light armor, and it was impossible to block such a fierce sword, and his sword was pierced by the fence, so he could not defend it at all. The speed at which the sword slashed down was so fast that it almost ignored the weight of the greatsword. Hearing the whirring wind, the infantry was startled, and hurriedly pounced forward, falling to the ground, and occasionally dodging the attack of the giant sword.
The other infantry and auxiliaries saw the infantry in front of them dodge the attack, and hurriedly looked at the attacker with the giant sword, but only in the flicker of the figure, they found that the attacker had swooped on the ground and disappeared in an instant. And the infantryman, who had just dodged the attack of the greatsword, was lying on the ground struggling, shouting and screaming, but could not get up again. It turned out that he threw himself on the ground, and he threw himself on the six bamboo nails buried in the grass. Because of the strength and speed of these undead infantry, they were directly pierced through with one pounce and nailed to the ground alive.
By this time, it was already dark, and the soldiers in Wensha in front of them were still standing quietly behind the human tax collector, motionless. This kind of bizarre battle was something Nadeau had never seen before. He mustered himself together and ordered the other soldiers to move on. An infantryman obeyed the order and walked forward from the cut fence, but his feet were also weak, as if he had stepped on something. He was much more cautious than the previous infantryman, and as soon as he sensed something under his feet, he swung his sword and slashed it, slashing a rope with a clatter. I heard a loud hula sound, and several large nets rose up on the ground, separating the soldiers attacking the fence in twos and threes, and in order to converge together, it was necessary to cut through these large nets first. It's just that the net hangs in the air, and it is quite weak, and the rope that ties the net is relatively strong, even if the undead soldiers are extremely strong, they can't open it for a while.
At this time, a trace of excitement flashed in Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and with a wave of his little hand, he shouted: "Open the mechanism, rush me!"
Before the words fell, more than twenty giant sword warriors suddenly sprang up near the fence at the intersection, and the huge sword body and the swordsman in the darkness became a black shadow. The undead infantry in light armor did not dare to fight hard, nor did they dare to cut the net at will, and they were secretly frightened in their hearts. The greatsword warrior does not attack, but only holds the sword against him. Nado was also terrified when he saw that the enemy army suddenly had so many more soldiers, and that the troops and his own light armored infantry were exactly the same. He wanted to kill and rescue his own soldiers, but he didn't dare to use one-third of the troops at hand to smash the giant sword warriors.
At this time, the two infantry and four auxiliaries who had been standing behind Lu Jingzhi rushed over, and first attacked the undead infantry of the Ados Army who was separated by a net, and it became a situation of six to one.
Seeing the enemy attacking, Nado's infantry hurriedly raised their swords to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly, Lu Jingzhi's two infantry grabbed up and waved their swords to block it, and the four zombies of Lu Jingzhi behind him swung their knives and chopped off the limbs of Nado's infantry in an instant. Seeing that Nado's infantry had lost their ability to fight, several of Lu Jingzhi's undead infantry went to attack another group with few people, and Nado's other ghost soldiers had the intention of going to the rescue, but they didn't dare to turn around and sell their backs to the giant sword warriors, so they had to watch the friendly troops being attacked by a group on the other side of the net.
Nado was stunned, and suddenly it occurred to him that if all those greatsword warriors were to attack, none of the undead soldiers he sent out would be able to return. But why didn't Lu Jingzhi let the giant sword warrior attack, but let his soldiers fight more and less, and wear down his own soldiers little by little?
There must be some deception in this.
"All soldiers, leave aside the samurai with greatswords, cut through the nets around you and return to me. Nado shouted bitterly. He finally realized that he had been fooled, and he had been overly careful.
Although Nado's soldiers did not dare to move, they were not willing to watch their companions being killed one by one, and finally it was their turn. At this time, when he heard the order of his superiors, he hurriedly swung his knife and slashed, and after cutting a crack in the net, he hurriedly ran back to his formation. Nado took the remaining third of his troops to defend his position to prevent the soldiers of the Windsor Army from coming after the rout. During this period, the twenty-odd Giant Sword Warriors did not move at all.
Less than half of the soldiers were able to return, only one of the four infantrymen, and only three of the eight auxiliaries. Nado was about to prepare for a second attack when he saw a torch burning on the other side. In the firelight, Lu Jingyi smiled evilly and handed a wooden barrel to a big human beside him. Nado recognized that it was the big man who threw his slave cannon fodder into the village and arrested him. Could it be that there is something strange in the barrel?
As if he knew that Nado was curious about the barrel, the big man threw the barrel at him, and there was a fire burning on the barrel. Seeing that the barrel was thrown accurately, and that it might hit him, Nado pulled his horse to the left and avoided it. Fortunately, the barrel fell to the ground and shattered, and a nameless fire burned out with the crushing of the barrel, and exploded into a large fireball within a radius of several meters, and the flames swooped down, but it was blocked by the plate armor, and the gap in the armor was also tightly covered by Nado with steel gloves, and there was no damage.
Seeing this big ball of fire, Nado's heart was shocked again, could this young human be a wizard? He remembered that the legion commander Gomez had mentioned that in addition to wizards, there were also some great undead who could learn witchcraft. But the young man in front of him was neither a wizard nor a great undead, or even an undead, how could he use the Great Fireball Technique? Seeing that he lit another wooden barrel and handed it to the big man, the big man threw it again, and Nado hurriedly dodged. This time, however, the big man's target was no longer Nado, but the undead soldiers around him. As soon as the barrel hit the ground, another large fireball burst out, instantly covering the undead soldiers who had just gathered together. The infantry and light auxiliaries who relied only on light armor to defend against the flames had almost zero defense, and the two auxiliaries in the center of the flames were directly ignited, and the two zombies who didn't even turn on their sanity burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. The other undead soldiers fell on the spot, rolling back and forth, extinguishing the flames on their bodies.
In order to prevent scavenging fungi and insects from gnawing, the undead have long used sulfur to make their bodies dry, so it is very easy to catch fire and difficult to extinguish. Even if it is extinguished, it will be burned and charred everywhere, and it will be in tatters. If it weren't for the support of the Death Technique, I'm afraid that these undead would have been scattered to the ground long ago.
It seems that he may not be able to win, Nado hesitated in his heart, if the human boy is really a wizard, then he can be pierced with a single sprint. However, he used too many tricks, and if he hit the net while sprinting, he would become a live target. However, the honor of the knight made Nado refuse to give up, even if it was dangerous, he had to challenge.
Nadeau made up his mind and gently kicked the soft belly with his spur-lacked boots, and the horse trot.
He's going to charge.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
