Chapter Fifty-Eight: Earth Dragon
At night, the lights outside Quiao City were also brightly lit, and the army gathered from the imperial capital was making final preparations for the siege battle that was about to start, and the company camp was in full swing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Earl of Ramgarh had great ambitions and talents to match. As the commander-in-chief of this siege battle, he divided the whole army into nine groups, and divided these nine groups of men and horses into three military columns.
The Imperial Garrison is mainly responsible for long-range attack. It is composed of archers and magicians. The magic cannon is used as the main means of attack, and then the trebuchet, strong bow and crossbow are used as auxiliaries.
The Rock Array Army, centered on the Great Horde where Ramgar was located, guarded the operational command place and was the center of the whole army. Heavy infantry and heavy cavalry as the main forces. They were responsible for the front and rear, as well as the charge after the city was breached.
Uniting the army columns, Ramgar divided the light armored cavalry into left and right wings, with the light armored infantry as the rear point, forming an inverted triangle battle formation. The main responsibility is to keep grain and grass, provide armaments, and so on, and this is where the logistics support of the whole army lies. Due to its flexible and mobile characteristics, it has a certain advantage in both support and charge, or as a retreating escort.
Ramgar's military camp was huge, and in order to prevent a surprise attack by the first army of Meliwitz in the city of Quio, he ordered three detachments in each army column to change their positions in turn. In this way, it can ensure that the soldiers can have sufficient energy to meet the battle, and they will not appear too passive in the event of an emergency, and can avoid causing large losses.
In Ramga's view, this battle was a game between him and Melwitz, and a single move would have unpredictable and dangerous consequences.
āāāā
In order to save his son, whom he has never met, and to minimize the losses of this war, which will lead to complete civil strife in the empire. Melwiec's principle of leading the army has long been pulled to the bottom line.
The key to the battle is time. Whoever can take the lead will take the lead.
By this time the night was getting deeper, and Ramgah's company camp was much quieter, but the fire was circulating in the camp, and the three armies were in good order.
"The commander of the leading army in the city can be regarded as a powerful guy. Heramon, who was standing at the head of Quio, looked at this scene and couldn't help but admire.
......
Melwitz and Kuzhi had already led their forces to the exit at the end of the tunnel opened by Phyllis.
Melwizlema stopped, faced Kuzhi and said: "Out of this tunnel, you will go directly to the Chinese army, first control the commander's tent, and capture the thief and capture the king first." After that, if the situation is unfavorable, we can retreat from this path. ā
Just as Ku Zhi was about to say yes, he suddenly heard the sound of war drums and horns coming from above his head. Ku Zhi was taken aback, and immediately asked Meliwicz: "Duke, what is the situation, isn't the task assigned to Heramon a feint?"
Melwiitz was calm: "The task given to Heramon is indeed a feint, but I also explained to him, as soon as the war starts, the military will not be ordered, and he will act at the opportune time." Moreover, now the noise is coming from the enemy. ā
"Have we been discovered?"
"Actually, no, as far as I know, Ramgar is a good soldier. Now like this, it should be that he wants to strike first and launch an attack. ā
"What are we going to do, Duke. ā
Melwitz smiled noncommittally: "What to do, just do it." After speaking, he lifted the reins and urged the beastmaster out of the tunnel. Ku Zhi didn't care about thinking about it anymore, so he hurriedly beckoned the sergeant and quietly followed......
āāāā
In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army in the imperial capital company camp, several people were tied up here by the five flowers. Not only were their bodies bound, but their mouths were also gagged and they couldn't make a sound. I could only look in horror at the black-clothed men in front of me who were still wearing strange masks that were holding them.
......
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a black iron steed with gilded chain mail paced into the tent. The men in black bowed down one after another, and saluted the people on horseback: "Enlighten the master, Ramgar and Remut have not been captured, only Brown and the men in the tent have been captured." ā
Before the man on the horse could speak, one of the captives let out an urgent "whining" sound, as if he had something to say. The "master" waved his hand, and the man in black understood what he meant, and took off the burlap that the man had gagged.
"Lord Duke, you're back! Ay... I have a hard time, you must listen to my explanation......"
The person who spoke was Brown, who was well aware of his cunning, and waved his hand impatiently at the moment, and Brown's mouth was blocked by Twilight pupils again.
"Bring this man back to Quiao and do it after the battle is over. With that, Melwiitz turned his horse's head and left the tent. Twilight didn't stop, knocking all the captives unconscious, leaving Brown alone and disappearing into the night.
......
When Ku Zhi saw Melwitz coming out of the big tent, he rode up to meet him: "Duke, what are your plans next?"
Melwiez thought for a moment and then said, "I didn't capture Ramga, I guess he is commanding in front of the formation." Seeing that the Chinese army in front of him is so empty, now the enemy's main forces should be concentrated on the front line to attack the city with all their might, which will inevitably put a lot of pressure on Heramon. You and I should divide our forces to the right and left, and at least disrupt the enemy's flanks so that they cannot form a joint encirclement of Cuao. ā
"The duke's analysis is extremely correct, and there is no need to divide the troops. I will take one person from the right flank of the enemy's army. As soon as Ku Zhi's words fell, he urged the two-winged unicorn to rush out. The unicorn leaps and spreads its wings and soars into the air. At the same time, Ku Zhi sacrificed the snow wolf tooth in his palm, and the blue light above the divine weapon stirred, and the ice mist rose, and the ice mist was fleeting. Kuzhi appeared in front of Melwitz's eyes again, with white crystal armor and three ice cone shields behind him, and the snow wolf's fang also changed its form, riding on the two-winged unicorn, as if a miracle appeared in the world.
A sigh of admiration rang out among the sergeants behind Meliwitz, and after a light smile, he urged the Beastmaster to charge towards the enemy's left flank......
āāāā
At this time, Quio City ushered in the first round of attacks from the magic cannon. The magic groups lined up on the city stream were already ready, and before they could touch the city walls, they were already wiped out by the barrier. In Heramon's view, this scene had become the rhythm of appreciating the fireworks.
"Thanks to the help of the sage, Quiao was able to sit back and relax. Heramon excitedly said to Sophie, who was sitting on her legs and enjoying a leisurely wine.
Sophie smiled faintly: "Little brother, don't be so excited. The magic cannon uses elemental power, and the power of the cannonball needs to consume the magician's own magic power. The barrier that Sister Ben taught them is just an enchantment, and who knows how long these magicians of yours will last......"
When Heramon heard Sophie's words, his heart suddenly galloped. He looked at the enemy line from afar and pondered for a moment. He saluted Sophie and said, "I will lead the army out of the city, and there will be a sage here to take care of it." ā
Sophie got up and said to Heramon solemnly: "Little brother, pay attention to safety in the war. Anyway, with Little Melly, it should be able to be settled. No, remember to come back quickly......"
......
Heramon turned and went down to the city, joined up with Is, and led a team of 60,000 horsemen who had already been ready to set out of the city.
āāāā
After leaving the city, when the formation is in formation. Isis asked Heramon: "Lieutenant Marshal, the boss said that he wanted to feint." But now that the other side is coming, does it make sense to feint?"
"That's not the point at the moment, anyway, the magic cannon is the key. ā
Yi Si was puzzled: "Just to cash in for that sage, are we going to rush in at any cost?"
"You're not even talking about the point, where can it be so simple. Leaving aside whether or not to send a cannon to that sage, removing Quieo's deadly threat alone is already a top priority. Besides, the generalissimo is eager to return to the capital, if Arena comes to a trapped beast fight after arriving in the imperial capital, do you think the city defense of the imperial capital is so easy to break?"
"Then what are you waiting for, just rush in!"
Heramon pointed at the enemy's position and gave an order, Isis took the lead, and the soldiers bravely rushed to the opponent's company camp one by one.
The morale of the army was uplifted, and the morale was high, and what came to greet them was the rain of arrows and the blazing stones that roared and exploded.
Heramon led the army well, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses who went out of the city were also carefully selected. The army is united in its minds, and it is well-behaved. In the face of the enemy's long-range attack, the iron shield array was extremely tacitly placed to defend, avoiding a large number of casualties. However, the opponent's attack was too dense, and the defense of the iron shield array gradually became unable to support it.
Isis said to Heramon: "It's not a way to go on like this, I'll take a small team to rush out and solve it first." "As he spoke, he jumped out.
Heramon dragged Isis back, and was thrown off by the force. "Don't act rashly! This is a military order! With such a reckless behavior, you will be turned into a porcupine in every minute!"
......
At the last moment, the rain of arrows flying in the sky came to an abrupt halt. A sturdy earth dragon descended from the sky, and the earth dragon roared like a cracker in battle, blowing away the rain of arrows in the sky.
Heramon pulled up Isis on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Look, the helper is here, it's Deng." ā
Tulong Phyllis landed slowly, and Deng jumped to the ground and came to the two: "Deputy marshal, everyone is fine." ā
"Ahh
"You low-level human being! If you really want to die! The old man can reluctantly tear you apart!"
Deng hurriedly stopped Phyllis: "Old man, don't be angry! Don't be like that guy, Sapphire! Add another sapphire! Uh~!By the way, you didn't kill just now. ā
Phyllis snorted with smoke: "Hmph! slap him to death, dirty the old man's dragon claws!"
Heramon pulled Isis up from the ground again, and Deng hurried over to help check if he was injured. Isis was fine, just ate a mouthful of dirt. He cleared his mouth after a few snorts, and was about to open his mouth to spill, but his mouth was already covered by Deng......
