Chapter 118: Counterattack

Time gradually passed, and under the watchful eye, before you knew it, a year passed in the battle under the city of Adisus. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, as the sun gradually rose, another round of siege began.

"Quick, press the shield up!" a gruff voice broke through the field.

On the open battlefield, officers supervised the battle in front, commanding soldiers to move forward.

As they got closer and closer to the walls of the city of Adisus, they saw that in the air, the sound of sharp blades breaking through the air gradually came.

"Ahh

One by one, the soldiers screamed at the arrows, but the more warriors around them turned a blind eye, just raised the shield in their hands with a numb face, and blocked the arrows shot from above.

It seems that in the course of this year, the royal court has also become accustomed to this rhythm. At this time, under the blow of the strong crossbows on the city wall, there were even some sharpshooters who raised their bows and shot towards the city wall, killing countless people for a while.

These were just preludes, and when the real siege began, the warriors of both sides came into close contact, and a piece of flesh and blood intertwined with the magnificent city walls, staining the newly built city with a little blood.

The offensive never stopped, and it was not until there was a horn sound from the rear that the knights commanding in front slowly turned around and gradually withdrew the soldiers who were rushing in front.

"Well, did you fail again?" a voice rang out in a large tent.

An old king wearing a crown looked at the city wall still standing in front of him, with helplessness and a trace of exhaustion in his eyes.

For an old man who is already old, this kind of military life is extremely uncomfortable, even if there is such an extraordinary power as fighting spirit in this world, and the body of the nobles is generally much stronger, but there is a limit.

He raised his head, looked at the city wall in the distance, looked at the little blood on it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a magnificent city, and this level of defense is almost no worse than the imperial capital." ”

He sighed softly, full of all kinds of unknown helplessness.

Over the course of the year, he didn't know how many times he had attacked the wall in front of him. However, each time, the tall walls in front of them were as impenetrable, and although they were shaken, they showed no sign of being breached.

And after such a long stalemate, the royal court, which was originally on the attacking side, fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

"Father, I have received some news from the rear that our military rations have been plundered by the other party's knights again and have been burned down. ”

Outside the tent, a familiar voice came, and then Harlan walked in from outside, his face dusty and tired.

"This is the first time this month. The king frowned, then asked.

However, Harun could only smile bitterly at this question, and then said, "Father, we don't have much food left. ”

"If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid, we won't be able to bear it first. ”

With some hesitation on his face, he looked at the king in front of him and said slowly, as if he was afraid that the other party would be angry.

However, in the face of his words, the king did not rebuke him as he thought.

just walked down quietly, sighing silently, as if he was much older.

He walked out of the tent, and suddenly the fresh air from the outside world came, which shook his spirit, and his mind seemed to be much clearer.

"O ancestors, why haven't you given your children some instructions until now?"

He thought like this in his heart, and faintly, there was an ominous premonition: "Could it be that the other party is so strong that even you can't take it?"

He looked at the banner embroidered with the emblem in the distance and thought.

In the back, Harlan followed him quietly, not saying a word, just silent.

"Harun, do you think we can take the city?" he said suddenly.

Behind him, Harlan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his words, and then said, "I'm afraid there is not much hope." ”

"The other side has almost reduced most of the forces in the Northern Regions and used them on a few key defensive lines. And our troops, because of the huge area of the northern region, in order to ensure the supply of food, have been greatly dispersed, and we have been unable to concentrate our forces on the siege of the city. ”

"And within the other party, although there are a large number of nobles who are inclined to us, but with the failure of the previous few attacks, and our gradual stalemate under the city of Yadixu, we no longer dare to continue to come out. ”

Saying this, he suddenly knelt down and said to the king in front of him, "Father, please withdraw your troops!"

"We don't have enough food until now. In the rear, the knights of the Duchy of Adisus, relying on the terrain, constantly attacked our supplies. In the southern and central regions, because we have been sending troops for a long time, the burden on the territory is very heavy, and it seems that there are already rebels. ”

"If we continue like this, we will not be able to hold on before the other party!"

Listening to his persuasion, the king shook his head, looking a little helpless and a little unwilling.

He knew in his heart that the other party's life might not be much better, and it was also the rear where fires broke out. But in comparison, it doesn't make much sense to hold on here.

"Harlan, you know what?"

Finally, the king said calmly: "If we retreat this time, then we will lose the best time to settle the Principality of Adisus, and after that, our two countries will definitely fall into a long-term confrontation and attrition." ”

"I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that last time. After that, it's up to you. ”

It's almost like a lonely.

Suddenly, hearing this, Harun knelt down violently, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy.

After all, as the lord of the royal court, the old king is naturally not only a child of him, among them, there are countless talents with excellent talents and deep backgrounds, and in the end, he does not dare to confirm that he will be confirmed by the old king to succeed to the throne.

"Retreat!"

Finally, with a soft sigh, the king gave the order.

However, it was easy to come in at the beginning, but it was not so easy to retreat.

The northern region is vast and uninhabited, and the terrain in most places is treacherous, making it impossible to pass through at all. Moreover, the Principality of Artisus would never let them leave so easily.

Therefore, in the night, taking advantage of the darkness, the king led the men to retreat first, leaving some men to stay where they were, in order to create the illusion of continuing the siege.

But what they didn't know was that they had just left with their front feet, and the next moment they were noticed by the beasts that were everywhere around them.

For natural sacrifices that can communicate with nature, any beast around them is a companion that can communicate, so the other party's disguise is meaningless at all.

"Are you ready to retreat?" Looking at the information sent by his subordinates, Artis said softly, but he was not surprised in his heart.

After all, this battle has been fought so far, it can be said that the royal court continues to be consumed here, and in the end it can only be slowly dragged down. Therefore, it is normal to retreat on the spot.

"However, they probably didn't expect the news to leak so quickly. He shook his head and said.

Speaking of which, after such a long confrontation, the other party also vaguely guessed that Artis's side had any way to investigate.

But even if there is a suspicion, without confirmation, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that it will be so soon, or even on the same day.

"Send the order, let Nadir and the others prepare, let's go out of the city tonight!"

Artis ordered, a faint cold light gradually appearing in his eyes, as if with some blood.

At the same time, in the body, the crimson killing divinity was also boiling, as if it was eager to fight.

・・・

That night, it seemed that the sky was beautiful, and the moonlight in the sky was obscured by a dark darkness.

In the silence, countless knights in armor walked silently, leading their mounts towards them.

In the distance, a very bright camp gradually emerged in the distance.

From a distance, the camp was brightly lit, and a figure haunted it, looking the same as in the past, very bluffing.

However, seeing this scene, in front of him, Nadir sneered: "It's like that." ”

At this time, beside him, Carter caught up from the side and said, "Nadil, you can't get any closer." ”

"If you go any further, you'll be easily discovered. ”

Hearing this, Nadir turned his head, looked around, and then nodded: "It's almost!"

"Let our knights mount, and we charge from here!"

So, with the order given. One by one, the originally silent warriors mounted their horses and began to slowly accelerate forward.

And as the safe distance is crossed, the other party also begins to find out.

But strictly speaking, it's often too late by then. The knight is very fast, especially after receiving the divine blessing of the sacrifice.

And the little time that the knight got by discovering it in advance is actually of no great use strictly speaking, and there is no time to deal with it accordingly.

"What's the sound?" said a soldier in confusion ahead, looking at his companion beside him.

Beside him, his companion frowned, feeling it carefully.

"Oh no! it's the Knights!" Suddenly, both of them exclaimed at the same time, looking at the huge knights that were gradually appearing in the distance, and there was horror in their eyes.

A burst of arrows flew out with sacrificial magic.

Fireballs shot out in all directions, carrying bursts of sparks, and constantly lit up all around.

The fire is rampant. In the midst of the chaos, some officers woke up and came with their own tribes to stop them, but they all fell under the onslaught of the Knights.

Nadir watched the scene calmly.

Strictly speaking, the commander of this barracks did a good job. Even in the face of a surprise attack at this time, there were still countless fully dressed warriors pouring out, fearless to resist the knights.

This shows that there were preparations in advance and preparations for being raided

However, no matter how well you are prepared, the defenses are always much weaker at night than during the day. It couldn't stop the knights under the leadership of Nadir at all, and it collapsed directly under a few charges.

"Sure enough, the big camp inside is empty!"

Nadir looked at the empty camp inside.

That night, as the battle progressed, the camp was filled with fire, and the enemy army collapsed directly, and was defeated by Nadir, killing and wounding countless people.
