Chapter 371: Mingjin Withdraws Troops
After the death of Talohill, there was a brief confusion in the front of the barbarians, and under the leadership of Guina and Haag, Spartacus's Mo Dao group quickly stabilized its position, especially although Hag did not use Mo Dao, but the huge wild battle axe almost cost two or three lives to each axe, even the strongest ogre had no enemy under his axe, let alone those wolf knights. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|
But the barbarians still have a great advantage in numbers after all, and the continuous influx of reinforcements from the valley mouth and the constant spell bonuses of the magic mages make the offensive of the two sides form a long tug of war, Haag is only one person even if he is brave, and with the support of the magic of the magic mages, the barbarians have even gradually gained some advantages.
However, this advantage did not last long, when Casa appeared in Spartacus' army with a group of magicians.
Spartacus was most populated by priests and priests, from the Brotherhood of the Blind and the Sisters of Silence, respectively.
The nuns are more good at healing than killing, and although the priests of the Blind Brotherhood are also responsible for killing, after all, the main job is still a clergy and there is still a slight difference between the battle mage who kills efficiently and serves the war in the conventional sense, so in this case, Lear has never relaxed the training of spellcasters, and even Spartacus has established a special magic academy.
And when Casa arrived, Lear, one of the best elemental envoys in the Elemental Empire, naturally gave him the team to lead.
The team of only one hundred people shows that it is not easy to train a mage, even a battle mage who specializes in war needs to master at least ten spells, but to support such a medium-sized terrain restriction conflict, a hundred people are enough.
The sound of neat chanting of incantations sounded from the rear of the Spartacus army, and then a rain-like blue curtain of light appeared above the fighting army in front, not only the Spartacians, but also all the barbarians.
The various blessing spells that the magic mage had previously applied to the barbarians gradually dissipated under the baptism of blue light, and the same negative effects on the Spartacus people who were plagued by spell collection disappeared.
The exorcism ** performed by a hundred magicians together is enough to wipe out all the auxiliary spell effects in the valley, and after losing the support of magic, the armies of both sides have entered a bloody hand-to-hand combat situation with all the strength of **, although the barbarians may have a slight advantage in physique, but Spartacus's side also has a great advantage in tactical weapons.
The sound of the blade stabbing into ** and the sound of the hammer smashing bones came and went on the battlefield, and it seemed that the spells cast by Casa and the others did not have much impact on the battlefield.
The sun was setting slowly and the moon was still at the end of the world, and a brief but thick darkness gradually enveloped the entire battlefield.
For barbarians, there is not much difference between day and night battles, whether it is a big-eared monster or an ogre, they all have strong night vision, and the wolves under the wolf cavalry will become fierce every time night falls, so the rhythm of death does not become slower because of the fall of night.
Just when the armies of the two sides were gradually falling into a stalemate in the fierce battle, the valley of the Spartacus garrison suddenly sounded a fierce sound of gold, and after hearing the sound, the soldiers who had fought bravely with the enemy on the front line abandoned their opponents and retreated like a tide, and the barbarians who did not know why were stunned for a moment, but they did not know who made an angry roar, and then everyone frantically covered the front and killed.
Will looked at the rear of the enemy army in confusion, although it may be beneficial to his own side to enter the night battle just now, but the enemy army is far from the point of collapse, this sudden tide of retreat is strange from any angle, suddenly a thought appeared in her mind, and then a cold shiver climbed from her tail vertebrae to the top of her head like an ant.
"Retreat! Retreat! Death to those who pursue without permission!"
She yelled hysterically, that although the barbarian camp outside the valley had not yet received the order to retreat, she was already the supreme commander of the front line after Talohir's death, and when her shouting mixed with magic fluctuations filled the valley, most of the attacking barbarians stopped.
Only a small part of the barbarians at the forefront had been completely killed, and it was also because the battle with the Spartacians just now was too fierce, and at this moment, seeing that the enemy was defeated and retreated, they were desperate to chase after them.
So there was a strange scene on the battlefield, thousands of barbarians slowly retreated under the captain's order, but there were less than a thousand barbarians with red eyes and frantically pursued and killed the nearly 3,000 Spartacus who retreated.
The retreating Modao Regiment only retreated with a muffled voice and did not return fire, while the barbarians coldly watched their compatriots chase farther and farther away without support, and the only sound of blades dragging on the ground and the roars of the hundreds of barbarians remained on the battlefield, and Will's breathing was heavy and terrifying.
"Pass my order! The front team changed into the rear team and slowly withdrew from the valley!"
At that moment, Vir somehow remembered the fire of the Beit League, and at that moment she realized that the Crimean valley was the only place to carry out fire attacks, although there were bald cliffs and no trees in the vicinity, which was not conducive to the spread of fire, but the magic flame did not need those things at all, and the most important thing was that she had not thought before, that is, the oil rich in the corpse was the best fuel.
As long as there are enough warriors entering the valley and deep enough, when the enemy puts another fire on the valley mouth, the barbarians cannot move forward under the suppression of muskets and artillery, and these thousands of people can only close their eyes and wait for death when the fire is in the sky behind them.
It was only now that Veil finally realized why the enemy had withdrawn his muskets and artillery in favor of a white-knuckle battle that could have caused more casualties, in order to bring more barbarian reinforcements into the valley as the battle heated.
Because of the restrictions of the terrain, even if you enter as many troops as you enter, it will not affect the battle situation at all, but the more people who enter, the faster the people behind will die.
Although all this was based on her speculation at the moment, Eville was cautious and would never allow herself to risk the lives of thousands of soldiers, she had been to the site of the remains of the Beit League, the fire that had buried the entire city had left an indelible impression on her mind, and now that it was known that the people who fought against them were the enemies who burned the Beit League, how could she dare to be cautious in this situation?
"My lord, it seems that you have seen through it, do you want to carry it out according to the original plan?"
On the top of the mountain, Casa suddenly appeared behind Lear, the reason why he went down just now and took so long to finally cast an exorcism** was actually in preparation for the later withdrawal, the barbarian army that entered the valley had reached a peak, and no matter how much it was due to terrain restrictions, it was impossible to enter.
The terrain of the gourd mouth where the barbarians gathered was relatively spacious, but as soon as they pursued Spartacus's army across the middle line of the valley, the line of fire that had already been buried in the ground and the sharpshooters who had been ambushed on the top of the mountain would cut the enemy into several sections, and when a few large fireballs smashed to the ground, it would be a human purgatory that even he could not describe.
"No need, let those who want to go, let them go, and leave that thousand-man team behind. ”
Lear said lightly.
In fact, it was their own side that made a mistake, the speed of the retreat of the Mo Dao group in front was too fast and failed to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy deeper, but this is also a matter of no way, the people of this world want to fully understand his strategic intentions It takes a long time to reach the level of being like an arm, and he doesn't mind whether the ambush is discovered or not.
There is only one reason, that is, he is using an upright scheme, with 10,000 against 50,000, as long as he is not a fool, he knows that there must be a problem in this valley, but he puts the biggest bait here, that is, he puts himself here, so even if he knows that it is Daoshan Huohai Tanan and Jag, they have to bite the bullet and break through.
Under this premise, one or two small mistakes are almost negligible.
The heavy horn sounded again, and the Spartacus, who had fled like a rabbit, instantly became like a ferocious hungry wolf and launched a counterattack against the barbarians behind him, not only that, but hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides, Ivo stood in the windward with a golden bow in his hand, and his feet were half rockets with nitrate pipes tied, and half were cold ordinary arrows.
"Let's go!"
Will gritted her teeth and turned the wolf beneath her, the fire attack she expected did not appear, but the fate of the thousand-man team was already sealed, and she decided to withdraw without permission, and she would inevitably face the punishment of the leader when she returned.
