Chapter 104: Attack and Defense of Grey Goose City
The Terran heavy cavalry riding the Gollens horse was like a sharp knife, tearing a hole in the Elven charging formation, and the first infantry brigade that followed behind rushed into this opening.
Both sides stopped charging, and the tower shield soldiers standing at the forefront of the Terrans slammed into the elves on the opposite side with the impact of the high speed of the charge.
The impact of the two-person tower shield team was unparalleled, and as soon as it hit, the elf who rushed to the front was immediately knocked to the ground, spitting blood, and the tower shield soldier poked the tower shield down——
With a tooth-aching cracking sound, the elven sternums collapsed and died.
The heavy knights drove their mounts on a rampage across the battlefield, dividing the battlefield into small pieces, each of which acted as a separate small battlefield, and the infantry divided into small groups and ran between them.
John was an ordinary sword and shield soldier, and this was his first time on the battlefield. Before going to war, his group leader, a pikeman named Matt, gave him and the rest of the group a psychological counseling session and told him many things to save his life.
John carved into his mind all the words that Captain Matt had told him. Don't listen to the old soldier, and die in front of you. Every veteran is a treasure, and their experience is accumulated on the battlefield.
There were five men in their group, the leader and pikeman Matt, the sword and shield soldiers John and Cologne, the short knife hand Li Lan, and the crossbowman James. According to Matt's words, the five of them are a whole, and they have to cover each other and trust their comrades, so that they can gain longer.
The crossbowman James was also a veteran, and he was in charge of support. This guy's shooting skills are first-class, a small crossbow can shoot you in the left eye, never your right eye, and is the protector of the team. John believed that as long as James was around, he was in no danger.
"John, stop that elf!" roared Matt, a wailing elf on his spear.
Matt's spear pierced him, and green blood sprayed all over the ground, but the elf's vitality was too strong, and he couldn't die for a while, so he could only wail there.
A female elf with an enchanted dagger had already lunged at John, and John's heart was pounding, and he could hear his own heartbeat. The elf had arrived, and John knew he had to meet the enemy.
The usual perseverance in training has begun to bear fruit, John first used the small round shield to impact the elf, so that he can give full play to the advantage of having a shield, if he plays well, the elf will be knocked to the ground by him, and then it is time for Li Lan, the short knife hand, to play.
"Hah!"
John let out a loud cry and slammed it with all his strength.
The elf gave John a disdainful look, and with a twist he bypassed John's impact path, and the enchanted dagger in his hand was about to stab at John.
John was shocked, he never expected that the elf was so agile, and the body of the enchanted dagger was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes......
"Poof. ”
The enchanted dagger stopped in front of John's eyes.
John gasped for breath as he saw a crossbow bolt stuck in the elf's forehead, and not far away, James was nodding to him.
John, who had been closed in the ghost gate for a while, couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and Matt, who had solved the opponent, didn't say a word, and reached out and gave him two slaps, and John, who was slapped by the slap, gradually came back to his senses.
This quick fix has always been popular with veterans......
Catherine looked at the main battlefield in the distance, her brows furrowed.
This time she made a mistake, she didn't expect Sulamir to use such a method - just when the soldiers of the first brigade entered the battlefield with the heavy cavalry, the second brigade of the Black Vulture Legion also joined in, forming a layer of encirclement, and the first brigade formed a combination of inside and outside, like two grinding discs, one after the other, the first brigade of the Sanssouci Flower Legion was slowly grinded.
Not only that, while the Terran heavy cavalry relied on their weight advantage to rampage, the Terran light cavalry also joined in, following closely behind the heavy cavalry, relying on bows and arrows to fight guerrillas, constantly releasing cold arrows to weaken the vitality of the first brigade of the Terran Worry-free Flower.
In just a short moment, more than half of the First Brigade had already been lost, and Catherine could not delay any longer.
"Order, the second and third brigades attack, receive the first brigade, the mage regiment is free to attack, and the catapult extends the attack. ”
The herald ran to give the order.
At this time, it was revealed that the elves were inferior to the human race. The Terrans use colorful flags and have special flag languages, while the Elves are still primitive artificial heralds, and they are weaker in terms of the timeliness of information alone.
The pitch angle of the catapult was increased to a larger extent, and some slightly lighter stones were placed, this time farther away, directly above the heads of the 3rd Brigade on standby.
Just like last time, this time the stone-throwing was stopped by the Black Vulture Mage Regiment again.
"Catherine can't help it, it seems that we can take it when we see it. Sulamir looked at the captains standing beside him with a smile and said, "Pass my order, Mingjin, collect the troops!"
The flag-bearers waved small black and white flags and gave the order to retreat, and the war drummers began to beat the rhythm vigorously, signaling the retreat to the soldiers on the battlefield in the distance.
The sound of the drums came from a far, far away, and the Terran soldiers who heard the drums began to fight and retreat, some of them were red-eyed, except for a few who were pulled away by their comrades, and most of the rest could only be abandoned on the battlefield. - As for orders, the Black Vulture Legion has always been forbidden. Besides, those soldiers who kill the red eye are very dangerous, there have been cases of these soldiers who have fallen into a frenzy in the past to slaughter their comrades who dare to come to the rescue, and since then few people have tried to save them.
The fate of the outcasts is also determined by the god of fate, and the only thing that awaits them is to die in battle, perhaps, the legion will give them the title of hero, and there will be a small pension to send home.
This is war, this is the harsh reality.
......
The Black Vulture Legion began to retreat in a triangular chiseling formation with heavy cavalry in front, light cavalry on both flanks, and infantry in a triangular chiseling formation in the middle, and the heavy cavalry, as the apex of the triangle, was responsible for leading the team to break through, and they were also the most dangerous, almost all the attacks fell on them.
From time to time, one or two heavy cavalrymen would fall off their mount horses and be trampled into meat sauce by the horses behind. The heavy cavalry was not invincible, although they had solid and heavy iron armor, there were always some gaps, such as the link between the face armor and the neck armor, and if there were sharpshooters who attacked these places, the heavy cavalry could not escape the fate of death.
......
"Damn!" Catherine slammed her fist into the wooden railing of the watchtower. Her plan was once seen through, and Suramir did not entangle her at all, and directly withdrew his troops. This general, who is known for his prudence and assault, does have a reputation worthy of him, and is cautious enough not to give you a chance to catch his mistake at all.
"The archers let go of their arrows to cover, the city artillery fire freely, and the mage regiment can give up attacking the other side and focus on protecting the retreating troops. ”
Although the mage group had no bright spots in this battle, that didn't mean they didn't do anything. In fact, the mage group is the most tired, intercepting the magic of the mage while also attacking the opponent. When the ground forces of the two sides are fighting, you can see the colorful magic light in the air when you look up, and if one of these powerful magic is smashed down, it will bring a small clearing.
There is no need to attack, and it is also good news for the mage group of the key defense team, they can finally be less tired.
The cavalry took the lead in storming the city gates, the infantry followed, and with the closing of the gates of Grey Goose City and the flag-raising platform of the drawbridge over the moat, the Sanssouci Flower Legion had no choice but to give up, and if the siege continued, the casualties would be terrible, and the morale would drop to a low point. Catherine can't afford such a loss,
