Chapter 542: Roland in the Town of Thousands of Troops (3)
The horses trampled rhythmically on the stone pavement, and even on the blood-soaked pavement, they were still beaten with a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and the small team of knights on the opposite side finally made all the preparations and began to trot.
As the trotting horses gradually increased their speed, by the time they were only more than two hundred paces away from the barricade line, the speed of the horse's charge had increased to an extremely fast degree.
The soldiers who were still attacking the barricade line were now frantically retreating to both sides of the street, and if they were hit by these heavy war horses with vests, they would be half-crippled if they were not killed, and they would be killed in vain if they were trampled to death.
But Leonardo and his men behind the line had no way to dodge, and they had to be crucified here.
Not because of the so-called military order, but because most of the people who were still alive at this time were veterans with rich combat experience, and they knew that if they ran away now, they would not be able to outrun these four-legged guys at all, and exposing their backs to them would only kill faster.
Without Leonardo's orders, the remaining hundred or so crossbowmen spontaneously pulled the trigger in their hands at the charging knights, and the knights who led the charge bore the brunt, with at least fifty crossbows, aimed at him.
It's just that at the moment when more than fifty armor-piercing arrows were about to be bodyed, the fighting spirit on the leading knight's body suddenly lit up, and then the cavalry spear in his hand waved a large number of gun shadows, and he actually blocked all these armor-piercing arrows.
"It's over, this guy in the lead is at least level 20, and no one can stop him at all. Leonardo wailed inwardly, but in the end he gritted his teeth and met him.
He may only be at the fourteenth level under the opponent's hands, and he may not be able to hold up even three moves, but Leonardo still chose to fight; the army camp outside the city is over, his family is finished, and His Majesty Roland IX is estimated to be almost finished,
If he chooses to surrender, the commander on the other side, his friend Yuorev, will definitely find a way to save his life, but it has reached this point, is it really meaningful to live for a long time?
Just when the Marquis Leonardo, with great sadness, was about to die in battle, luck finally befell him......
Because just thirty minutes ago, Roland IX, who was still sitting in the palace, preemptively knew that because of the betrayal of Marshal Andrei, the camp of the army outside the city was completely breached.
It is foreseeable that with a series of avalanche-like routs, His Majesty Roland IX will be completely surrounded and become the prey of Prince Eugen at any time.
But even at this moment of extreme severity, Roland IX's face was still so calm and confident.
He said with great emotion: "When I was able to successfully ascend to the throne, Andrei played a key role in it, but I didn't treat him badly when I asked myself; the title was promoted from earl to duke, and the position was gradually promoted from the commander of the city guard to the marshal of the empire, one of the three giants of the imperial army. ”
"He's a very good minister, right, I've given him everything I can give him, but why isn't he satisfied?" Roland IX said to himself, because of this fatal question, the confidant Loyal Dog Lord Brigg present did not dare to express any opinion at all.
After a while, Roland IX seemed to have finally made a decision, and he asked, "Where are the reinforcements of the Iron Collar now?"
The loyal dog, who was still like a statue in the last second, was immediately resurrected after hearing the words.
He quickly reported: "Inform Your Majesty that their vanguard, the more than 10,000 harppogriffs they call the First Division of the Air Force, and the ten black dragons, under the personal leadership of Medusa, have been lurking thirty miles outside the city, and in a day's time, they can immediately enter the battle as soon as they receive our orders." ”
"In addition, they have a cavalry force of 50,000 men, but they have just entered the province of Goa, and it will take a month to reach here at the earliest, but when they arrived at the fortress group of Blackstone Fort, the Northern Legion stationed there immediately changed their neutral position to your allegiance, and also sent all the cavalry troops of 30,000 men to support them. ”
Roland IX nodded when he heard this, and immediately began to issue orders: "Count those acquaintances, and let those black dragons and harpies join the battlefield, and inform the orc empire of its full support for us, let's just say that these are only the vanguard troops now, and there are still millions of troops left." ”
"It's a pity that the army camp outside the city collapsed too early, otherwise I would like to test my generals more, how many of them are truly loyal, and which ones are the grass on the wall. Roland IX said with pity.
The loyal dog Lord Brig, who was about to use naked chickens and ducks to send orders, stopped his steps and asked a question in his heart, which was not very suitable for questioning: "Your Majesty, with such a big loss and casualties, just to test their loyalty, is it a bit too costly, and it is not worth it?"
After asking this question, Lord Loyal Dog began to regret his talk, and Roland IX was obviously stopped by this question, and he paused for a moment before answering affirmatively: "It's very worthwhile, the imperial capital can continue to be rebuilt if it is broken, and the army can be re-recruited and trained if it is lost, but these tumors hidden within the empire are the biggest hidden dangers in the empire." ”
When Lord Loyal Dog heard this, he sighed in his heart about Roland IX's courage, and then hurriedly conveyed the order......
"Help! I don't want to die here. "After the barricade, a lucky reservist hairy boy has miraculously survived from the beginning of the war to the present, but in the face of the charging knight, he finally broke down, threw down his weapon and ran backwards crying.
After running back for twenty or so steps, he happened to meet Lord Leonardo, who was slowly walking towards him, and then the Lord Marquis simply slashed him to the ground with a sword......
Looking at the few men and the stormtrooping knights who were about to approach the barricades, Leonardo just planned to shout a few slogans such as 'Lao Tzu is a good man after twenty years', or 'Long live the Roland Empire, long live Your Majesty', before he died in battle, to make this scene even more tragic.
But at this moment, he felt that the sky above his head suddenly darkened, and he quickly looked up, and suddenly saw a scene that he could never forget in his life: he saw a black oppressive group of eagles, led by two black dragons, quickly crossed their barricades.
As they reached the Sky above the Stormtrooper, they came to a halt, and then with the familiar sound of a tin whistle, a barrage of iron balls and sparks with fuses that had been ignited fell into the formation of the Stormtroopers.
After the violent explosion, the originally charging knight team was all knocked to the ground, and the leading level 20 knight, under the care of nearly a hundred iron ball bombs, was directly pierced into a honeycomb by the flying shrapnel.
A breeze blew, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the tip of the nose of Lord Leonardo, but the Marquis did not feel the slightest unpleasant; 4610
