Chapter 156: The Wind Is High and the Sky is on Fire
Chapter 156 The wind is high and the sky is on fire
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom"
Six huge string beats resounded in Lorlist's ears like thunderbolts, and several sharp winds almost brushed Lorlist's back, and several terrible screams came from behind him......
Silvermoon playfully poked her face out of the clouds again.
Lorist was anxious, he didn't know who was unlucky behind him, he looked up in the hazy moonlight, but saw a crack up to two or three meters wide less than twenty meters in front of him, and on the opposite side of the crack were rows of neat tents, through the gap in the tents, you could see the blocking line made of stones and sandbags in the distance and the regiments of Iron Guard soldiers. And farther away, under the bread hill, there are scattered lights of torches, which should be the men and horses of the Second Highness who carried out a feint attack on the fortress and the bread gang as agreed.
A row of torches lit up on the opposite side of the crack, but it was six crossbows placed side by side in the city, and several people next to them were nervously winding the operation. By the light of the torches, Lorist saw the Iron Guard soldiers with longbows crossing the crossbows of the garrison to the crack, and several voices ordered the longbowmen to line up and block the mountain road with bows and arrows......
"Kill!" Lorist shouted angrily, jumping up from the ground, a distance of more than twenty meters was only a few blinks of an eye, Lorist had already jumped over the crack in the stone and killed into the queue of longbowmen......
The crowd was in chaos, and Lorist was covered in blood, and the long sword and sword in his hand chased his soul for his life, chopping melons and vegetables from one end to the other end of the cracks in the stones, killing the longbowmen and the soldiers who operated the crossbows of the city guards, and fled in all directions.
"Kill ......" a spear with a white sword blade struck Lorist's back like a poisonous snake. Lorist had eyes on his back. Take a step sideways with your left foot. With one sideways turn, the sword rests on the blade of the spear, and it is lifted upward, and then the sword slashes straight down.
The spear-wielding silver knight was also unambiguous, flipping the back of his hand and raising the shaft of his spear diagonally, intending to block Lorlist's slash.
Unexpectedly, the long sword slashed to the shaft of the spear, and the sound of "Zheng" was heard. The shaft of the spear was broken in two. The sword flashed, and the "flutter" slashed straight from the left shoulder to the right rib.
The silver knight was struck by lightning, and he stiffened and fell to the ground, his body broken in half, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Kill, kill this evil, demon ......" A trembling voice sounded from behind......
Lorist was dripping blood all over his body, but it was all other people's blood, and he really looked like a god-killing demon who had come out of the sea of blood in the eyes of his enemies at the moment.
The blades of the two spears flashed with white swords, and the two silver knights pounced on them at the same time with their spears. One on the left and one on the right, two spears pierced Lorlist's left and right ribs.
"One. Together, kill ......" The trembling voice shouted kill, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a sword flash, and he charged towards Lorist, and the long sword was cut off on the head......
At the same time as the silver knight pounced, a white sword flashed next to him, and a black shadow came up, and the long sword in his hand pierced Lorlist's heart.
Four against one, Lorist is not panicking. In the field of vision of dynamic vision, the seemingly swift attacks launched at the same time have a precedent and a succession, and this difference in attack order has become a good opportunity for Lorist to take the initiative to launch a counterattack.
The first thing that struck was the spear that pierced the left ribs, and Lorist took half a step back, bowed slightly, and seemed to be motionless, but this spear grazed Lorlist's body and stabbed in the air. Lorist's left hand rested on the front pole of the spear, and he pushed it with all his might, just in time for the spear that was stabbing at the right side.
The two spears were on the same page, and Lorist raised the two spears with his left hand to form a cross above his head, and when the sword cut off from his head hit the intersection of the two spears, it made a loud "dang" sound.
Lorist had already abandoned the spear in his left hand, his body surged forward, and the long sword in his right hand went outward, slashing the long sword that stabbed directly from the black shadow that rushed from the side, and with a twist of his wrist, the long sword stabbed the black shadow's chest.
The black shadow pounced on him with all his might, so that he could come from behind, and the idea was to take advantage of the fact that Lorist was entangled by two spear-wielding companions, and strike with all his might, and leave without getting close. But he didn't expect Lorist to be the first to fight back against him, and the long sword in his hand was swept away by a sword, swinging far away. The chest is already empty......
The black shadow wanted to retreat quickly, but he couldn't stop the momentum, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "Ah...... No... Want...... Ugh!"
There was no room for him to talk nonsense, and Lorlist's sword was peeking out of his back.
All this happened in a short instant, and in the blink of an eye, Lorist had already killed an enemy.
The spears and swords of the other three silver knights were still clashing together, and they were hurriedly separating. Lorist did not draw his sword in order to save time, but slashed through his hand, and the long sword broke directly out of his body and slashed at the other sword wielder.
The sword-wielding silver knight hurriedly withdrew his sword and blocked Lorist's sword, but Lorist turned into a stab, and the sword shadow came again, the silver knight slashed diagonally with his sword in a panic, trying to break the sword momentum of the stab, just at the moment when the two swords struck, Lorist's long sword paused subtly, and the silver knight's long sword slashed obliquely, and Lorlist's long sword penetrated his throat......
"Ahh......hh But it was the spear-wielding silver knight who was the first to attack Lorist, seeing that his colleague was killed by the enemy's sword, regardless of his colleague's body blocking his view, he directly pierced the spear through his colleague's body, intending to kill the enemy by surprise......
Such an attack naturally couldn't hurt Lorist, but he didn't expect this silver knight with a spear to be so cruel, he actually used the corpse of his companion as a cover, got out of anger from it, his body flashed sharply, avoided the spear's charge, pulled out his long sword in his right hand, and bullied forward, the sword light was like lightning, and he cut off the silver knight with a spear with a sword.
The other silver knight with a spear was trembling, and how long had it been, almost before he could react when he found that three of his companions were dead......
The spear was pointed at Lorlist, but he was shaking, and Lorist exclaimed, "Abandon the spear and kneel." I don't die around you!"
The Silver Knight collapsed. Suddenly, with a strange scream, he threw his spear at Lorlist, turned and fled.
Lorist flickered. Let the thrown spear blade catch the barrel of the spear and throw it with his backhand.
The fleeing silver knight was shaken, spears pouring out of his chest, and he fell to the ground and gave his breath after a few convulsions.
Some of the soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion, who were still surrounded by them, shouted in horror when they saw that these silver knights were finished, turned around and fled to the distant blocking position, throwing away their armor in a panic, and even throwing away the torches, spears, shields and other weapons in their hands.
"Your Excellency. My lord......" came Pat's shouts behind him.
Lorist was happy, and Pat was fine: "I'm here, be careful if there is a ditch in the ground." ”
After a few steps, he picked up a burning torch on the ground.
The crowd of black crushed people from behind, Pat was the first to jump over the crack, and Reddy the second.
"Are you all right?" Lorist was overjoyed, and looked back at the fleeing enemy: "Pat, bring people to force up, don't let the enemy have time to form a formation. ”
Pat waved his hand: "Kill, rush!"
The crowd rushed forward, and just past the tent area, they suddenly screamed. The scolding was continuous. It turned out that there was a crack in the stone in front of him, and the dozens of ironclad spearmen running in front didn't see it clearly, and they stepped into the air and fell half to death. Fortunately, although the stone crack is not wide, it is not enough to die if it falls.
"Reddy, go and set those tents on fire, firstly to illuminate and secondly, to remind the troops who are feint on the front over there, and the two-sided attack is just right to take the bread post!" Lorist instructed Reddy while beckoning to the guards next to him: "Come on, turn these garrison crossbows around and pull them forward......"
The tents were lit one by one, and the bare bread hill was blazing to the sky, and the fire was soaring high by the wind, illuminating the whole bread hill red.
Reddy didn't set all the tents on fire as Lorist had arranged, but after lighting a dozen tents at a distance, he summoned everyone to tear down the other tents and throw them at the burning tents, and soon there were a dozen or so large bonfires on the bread post.
"There's a wooden bridge here!" By the light of the fire, the soldiers immediately spotted a few planks set up in the cracks in the stone in front of them, and the pursuing soldiers quickly crossed the bridge and pressed towards the enemy who were in a panicked formation on the distant blocking position.
It was only then that Lorist could see the scene on the whole bread hill, and the name of the bread hill really lived up to its name. There was not a single tree or grass on the whole bread hill, just like an oval-shaped loaf of bread on the ground, slightly protruding from it, and the whole hill was estimated to be the size of two football fields. The most amazing thing is the two stone cracks on the gang, which are really like two cuts in the bread that the chef deliberately cut.
At this moment, Lorist was standing next to a large fire in the tent area, which was the highest point in the bread hill, and the Iron Guard soldiers stationed there probably to prevent the rain from flooding the wet bunks.
There are more than 1,000 soldiers of the Iron Guard Regiment on the blocking position not far away, of which seven or eight hundred are arranging into a thin horizontal formation ready to meet the approaching ironclad spearmen, the ironclad spearmen who have crossed the wooden bridge are only more than 200 people, they are forming a phalanx under the order of the commander and striding towards the enemy in front of them, from time to time there are soldiers who have crossed the plank bridge continue to join the side of the phalanx, and the phalanx is slowly becoming a horizontal formation, the distance between the two formations is less than 60 meters, and a sprint can approach the confrontation.
There are still many soldiers on the enemy's front line moving more than ten crossbows of the defending car that were originally facing the front, but they can't turn the crossbow of the defending car and turn their heads for a while, and the military formation facing the front under the bread gang has already discovered the changes on the bread gang, and is blowing the horn to turn the feint attack into a frontal assault roaring, and the soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion who have just moved the crossbow to the position have panicked, and they don't know whether to push the crossbow back to meet the enemy in front or continue to use the crossbow bricks to deal with the enemy coming from behind......
Lorist saw Pat stride out of the phalanx, as if he had given an ultimatum to the enemy on the opposite side, and the ironclad spearmen in the phalanx behind him were shouting "kill, kill, kill......".
Finally, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers at the front of the Iron Guard Legion line fell to the ground, followed by more soldiers who lost their weapons, and finally all the Iron Guard soldiers laid down their weapons. They surrendered......
The phalanx of ironclad spearmen erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Pat commanded the Ironclad Spearmen to step forward and divide the Iron Guard soldiers aside. Occupied the entire blocking position.
"Well done!" Lorist excitedly ordered, "blow the trumpet, announce that we have taken the bread hill, and plant our family's angry bear banner on the blocking position." ”
The sound of the trumpet of victory echoed in the night sky, and the banner of the angry bear fluttered on the bread hill in the light of the fire.
The blonde-haired female knight quickly rode up the slope, and then abandoned her horse and quickly climbed up the five or six meters high blocking position made of rocks......
Lorist saw the blonde female knight striding towards and hurriedly stepped forward: "Cousin Chrisya, why are you here?"
The blonde knight is none other than Chrisya. When he saw that Lorist was covered in blood, he couldn't help but be shocked: "How did you make it like this?
"Hehe, it's okay, it's all other people's blood, I'm not hurt. Lorist saw Reddy come down in frustration.
"What's wrong, Reddy, what's wrong?" Lorist asked.
"My lord, just now, when I was on the top of the post, Brother El fell......" Reddy said a piece of news that shocked Lorlist.
"What did you say, what's wrong with El?" Lorist jumped in shock, remembering the sound of the six great strings of the crossbow of the garrison and the strong wind that swept across his back......
"When we reached the top of the watch, we called out to the adults. Then hearing the adult's warning, Pat and I immediately fell to the ground. But the guards who followed behind couldn't react and were shot by crossbow arrows and taken to the bottom of the cliff. Ruhl was also hit by an arrow, and when he was shot away, he hit Brother El behind him, and the two of them flew directly out and fell under the hill. At that time, Pat and we were so scared that we almost couldn't get up, but we were worried that the adults would come up first, and the two guards who had set the fire with me were the same guards who were following Brother El, and they told me about it......," Reddy said with a sad face.
"Find, immediately order someone to find it! I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! If anything happens to El, I will let all the soldiers of the Iron Guard Legion on this post bury him......" Lorist ordered with a blushing face, now he only had the worry of El's life and death, and he no longer had the joy of occupying the bread hill.
"Yes, sir. Reddy was about to turn around and gather people to be laid off to look for him, but he heard a burst of shouts of killing, screams and the horn of the charge erupt from the barracks below the post.
"What's going on there?" Krisya looked at the dark barracks.
Torches lit up one by one at the foot of the mountain, illuminating a valley not far from the barracks. Standing on the bread hill, you can see that Telman is leading the knights to rush down the hillside at the speed of arrows, like a flash flood, unstoppable......
The spears of the knights at the front lit up with silver swords, and they cut through butter like hot knives, and at once they rushed the enemies who had gathered together in the middle of the valley to pieces, and the cries and screams were one after another......
"The enemy is finished. Lorist said nonchalantly.
"We arranged for the follow-up troops to ambush the two sides of the valley into the mountain when we attacked the enemy's camp at night, and those were the reinforcements sent by the fortress castle of Liechndana, and they fell into the trap, first with the longbows of the archers, then with the breaking charge of the knights, and finally by the scout light cavalry to hold the mouth of the valley into the mountain. So don't worry, cousin, none of these enemies who come to support can escape. Looking at Chrisya's face full of puzzlement, Lorist had to explain in detail.
"Locke, I just didn't expect you to be able to organize such a knight order, can you ......" Chrisia looked at Lorist with a wistful look.
"Cousin, don't mention some hurtful requests. This is the order I have built for my family, and I want to develop into a Silver Order in the future. If my cousin leaves His Second Highness and returns to the family, then I may still hand over this knight order to my cousin to command. Lorist dismissed Chrisya's thoughts.
"Stingy......" Chrisia muttered and stopped talking.
In less than an hour, the sound of trumpets was heard below the valley.
"The enemy was completely annihilated. Lorist exhaled: "It's about to dawn, cousin, you can arrange a team of people to come and set up the front immediately, I will hand over these crossbows to you, you let people put the crossbows in the direction of the fortress, you can give us more protection for our follow-up plans, I will go down first." ”
