Chapter 80: Wounded
Due to the additional manpower, the transportation of materials was obviously faster, and Lu Jingzhi simply sent the group of people who picked up the medicine and Silly Da, Silly Er, and Sijiu. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer supplies like a small mountain, everyone is very happy.
The senior generals of the imperial military praised Lu Jingzhi's achievements in exaggerated tones, but from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want him to be so showy. In the eyes of the military, although Lu Jingzhi is known as a magic envoy, he is just a new high-ranking knight in a miscellaneous army. He had done such a great job, but it became more and more incompetent to be driven from the Ecdot woods. So not only the crown prince, but even all the undead under him hoped that Lu Jingzhi could plant a big heel in front of the battle, so as to prove that he was not the only one.
Perhaps these grievances played a role, and just when the principals of the principality were anxious, suddenly a wise man of the principality made his own proposal to the archleader.
"Judging from where the cavalry was knocked down by magic, the enemy's magic range should be about seventy meters, and if we were to assemble outside there, we might not be attacked by magic. If you break down from there and bypass the pit, you might have a chance to inflict damage on those magicians. Even if it can't, at least it can be disruptive,"
This suggestion was scoffed at by some of the Commanders, who were obviously able to hit targets farther away, as evidenced by the high-ranking knight who had just tried to lead his troops to attack the left. But the Grand Commander, who had the power to decide, thought it was okay to give it a try.
"Even if the opponent's magic can hit our cavalry, as long as we don't let the high-ranking knights fight, we can reduce the cost of taking damage. It's just that the losses suffered by ordinary cavalry or infantry can be completely ignored. As long as we take down the magician, there will be nothing to fear from the Imperial army. The Grand Commander said.
When the other Commanders saw that the Grand Commander said this, they no longer objected. So, at least five thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry gathered at the low sound of the trumpet. There were so many soldiers, but there were only a very few knights, and most of the 1,000 cavalry were composed of subordinates, not even a single high-ranking knight was sent, and only one old knight with a considerable reputation was the commander of the whole team. From this point of view, the Principality Army is really afraid of losses.
When Lu Jingzhi heard the sound of the horn, his heart couldn't help but tighten, could it be that the imperial army still had any new tactics that could not be achieved? Because the stupid two were sent to carry supplies, he could only climb to a low tree by himself and watch from the enemy camp. I saw that the light infantry like ants was moving slowly, and a group of light cavalry was slowly followed behind them. Could it be that they want to use crowd tactics? As soon as this word passed in Lu Jingzhi's heart, he secretly shouted that it was not good, and crowd tactics were his nemesis, just as his arrangement was the nemesis of elite tactics. Although the spring cannon can reach far, it is limited to the processing technology, and his spring will break after a few hits, and it is difficult to replace it. Although the bamboo rope trap on the ground is cheap, it is limited by the site and cannot be arranged too much, so in the face of troops with more than 1,000 people, they have to dig a pit to deal with it, and the more than 1,000 cavalry before are stepping on the pre-dug pit. Lu Jingzhi saw that the enemy army was strong, so he ordered someone to pull down the wooden stakes supporting the pit, and used war drums to cover the sound of the stakes falling. The 1,200 cavalry of the principality army stepped on the ground supported by only one layer of soil, and naturally collapsed, and many cavalry and undead horses were trapped in the pit, and could no longer climb up - at the beginning in the border village, the armored Nado fell into such a shallow pit, and it took four infantry to pull him up, and the pit was so deep at this time, and there was no external help, I am afraid that these cavalry may not be able to climb up if they struggle to completely rot and dry up.
With this in mind, time passed little by little, but the enemy never stopped, and drove all the way to the outside of his trap area. These traps are useful for cavalry, and once the hooves of the undead horses are entangled, they are difficult to unravel, but they are of limited use to the infantry, because the infantry has sharp blades around them, and they can get out of trouble with a single cut.
"Run. Lu Jingzhi shouted in his heart, but he could only make a small sound on his mouth, he realized that he was too nervous, so he took a deep breath and shouted: "Escape! Escape to the army!!"
Those humanoid heavy armor were just standing on the position, and the people inside had already run out to carry supplies, and by this time the last cart had been loaded and was working hard to push towards the Imperial army's position. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from the other side of the woods, let myself run quickly, and I couldn't help but stop and look back at the enemy formation. If you don't look at it, you can be shocked when you see it, the infantry of the principality army is only a few dozen meters away from you, and you are about to attack.
The acting captain who commanded the cavalry team in place of Busen saw that His Excellency the Magician ordered the porters to run quickly, and consciously led the team to meet the enemy, to buy a little time for the poor human slaves, and also to show His Excellency the magician the martial arts that Captain Busen had trained.
Although one side was heavy cavalry, and the other side was light infantry and light cavalry, the difference between six thousand and seventy was too great, and the cavalry in blue heavy armor rushed into the enemy line with a simple acceleration, but quickly disappeared like sugar cubes in hot coffee.
The convoy worked harder and harder for their lives to push the cart, and it would have been much faster if they could have a few undead horses pulling in front, but all they could rely on was their legs and shoulders. Seeing that the first cart had pushed out of the woods, and the second had also come out, until the last car came out, the Principality Army had been stopped seventy meters away, without taking a single step.
"Pack up the guys and prepare to retreat. Lu Jingzhi jumped down from the low tree and personally ordered the captain of the engineering team A. The spring cannon is a very powerful weapon, and you can't lose a single one. It's really not good, and you have to remove the starting rod and take it away before throwing it away.
Although the captain of Team A is not smart, he has been with Lu Jingzhi for a long time and knows the priorities, so he hurriedly ordered the firing rod to be removed, and then everyone fled backwards.
Their action made the principality army startled, it was this magic prop that launched the stone ball strike before, and now they are doing this again, they must be attacking. The commander of the Principality ordered the infantry to rush forward, targeting the "heavily armored magicians" who were still standing in front of the formation. At the same time, he kept his eyes firmly on the greatsword of the magicians, trying to find a gap between the swings of the swords.
But to the disappointment of the Principality Commander, the heavily armored mages watched the infantry rush forward, but remained motionless. It's just that the infantry sent out to attack themselves will still fall to the ground with a hit.
Did the magicians no longer need to wield their swords to cast their magic, or did they not even use their swords when they were targeting light infantry?
It was not only the commander of the principality army who was anxious, but also Lu Jingzhi. Lu Jingzhi himself knew that these wooden heavy armor were just good-looking, as long as he attacked in close quarters, he could know the roots, and what was even worse was that there was not even a person inside. I really wanted to run away with the engineering team A, but his calves were not fast, and he was out of breath before he could run two steps. He ran two steps and looked back, estimating how long it would take for the enemy to catch up with him. As soon as they reached the edge of the woodland, the enemy had discovered the secret of the so-called "heavily armored magician".
It's too late. Lu Jingzhi's heart sank, and he thought of the sugar candy far away in Wensha Castle.
Seeing that the sword of the enemy infantry was only a dozen meters away from him, Lu Jingzhi stopped running. One is that I can't run, and the other is that I can't run if I want to. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his hair, a lightness in his body, and he seemed to fly. Then he fell heavily on the shoulders of a man, and was carried towards the front of the Imperial Army. He looked at it and saw that it was a stupid man.
Those infantrymen held swords and strode in pursuit, but they were getting farther and farther away from Silly Da and Lu Jingzhi.
"Silly, hurry up and run!" Lu Jingzhi shouted in panic, "Don't stop, when you get over there, I'll give you a big bowl of meat." ”
grinned stupidly, but ran slower and slower, and suddenly stumbled, fell to his knees, and even Lu Jingzhi was thrown to the ground. Lu Jingzhi raised his head and was shocked to find that there was an extra arrow on his stupid chest. He screamed, and turned behind the fool to see that a long arrow was already stuck in his back.
"Silly Da! Are you okay!" How could it be okay? But at this time, Lu Jingzhi could only think of this sentence, he expected that Silly Da had a body that was different from ordinary people, even if he had a few arrows in his body, he could act as if nothing happened. Silly Dasha Er has been following him for a long time, and it is no longer the love of master and servant, but the love of brothers.
"Don't die, stupid! I'll give you more meat to eat, can you stand up?" Lu Jingzhi cried and pleaded in despair, but he knew very well in his heart that stupid people would not be able to do it. Seeing blood oozing out of his stupid chest, Lu Jingzhi hurriedly covered it with his hands, but when he covered the wound, blood flowed out of his fingers, and it flowed all over his hands in a while.
The stupid big just grinned at the young master's stupid words, stood up suddenly, grabbed the young master, threw it into the distance, and let out a low roar. Lu Jingzhi only felt that he flew up like a cloud, although he flew far away, but it was even farther away from his camp, so far that he could barely run.
When he fell, he didn't have the pain he imagined, but his body sank, and he was caught by a pair of big hands, and he saw himself flying towards the line of the imperial army again, and when he looked back, it turned out that it was Silly Er who caught him and reached out and threw himself out. It's not that Silly Er refuses to run with him, but that he was also hit by an arrow in the chest. Lu Jingzhi looked up blankly in the air, and it was the commander of the principality who bent his bow and arrows.
When Lu Jingzhi fell to the ground and rolled a few times, the stupid second man also fell in a pool of blood and couldn't get up again.
Several light cavalry of the principality army galloped over, grabbed Lu Jingzhi, who had fallen and couldn't move, and threw him in front of the saddle, turning the horse's head and going back. Lu Jingzhi, the magic envoy who single-handedly blocked the attack of thousands of people from the principality's army, was captured alive in front of the imperial army.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, even the troops of the Duke of Wensha, who were guarding the flank of the position, did not have time to react, and only had time to shout at the withdrawn principality army, and watched Lu Jingzhi being brought to the camp of the principality army.
And from beginning to end, not a single soldier in the Imperial Army camp came to the rescue.
Will Lu Jingzhi be in danger?
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
