Chapter 251: Snapping Turtle Warrior
At noon, the temperature reached its hottest.
The air was full of heat, and the breath was piping hot.
Li Jun's skin is also tanned, and he doesn't have the fair skin he had a few years ago.
Riding a big bull and holding a lookout goggle to scan ahead, a torrent of steel suddenly appeared from the horizon, and it didn't take long for a loud rumbling noise.
"It's coming!" Li Jun shouted, Otto hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and kicked a non-commissioned officer next to him, and after a few breaths, the war drums began to thunder and thunder, and the sound was extremely deafening.
"Queue, Queue!!" shouted a lieutenant, and a barrel-like formation suddenly formed, with shield bearers in front, crossbowmen in the back, heavy cavalry in front and light cavalry behind, and heavy infantry, crossbows, mechanical crossbows, and light infantry in reserve.
A large torrent of steel rumbled in, it was the light cavalry of the Ebelon Empire, equipped with the best horses, not seeking combat effectiveness, only speed! Under the cavalry charge, quickly tear a hole in the enemy's formation, and then the heavy infantry that followed will start a bloody slaughter.
To put it bluntly, this group of light cavalry is a death squad, except for a scimitar and a set of light armor, there is not even a crossbow.
The Eberon Empire is rich in cavalry, famous for its heavy cavalry, and no cavalry team in the world can compete with it, which is what the Eberon Empire has always been proud of.
"Fire!" Otto roared, thousands of light and heavy energy cannons, all in unison, tongues of fire roared out from the dark muzzles, forming a saturated fire net cover, and the light cavalry in the front twelve rows were directly torn apart by the energy cannonballs.
Yes......
The terrible screams continued, this was a suicidal charge, and most of the six thousand light cavalry died in less than a minute.
The enemy's light artillery pressed over and quickly stood on the sand.
Boom! Boom!
The energy cannonball the size of a skull instantly smashed on the shield hand's iron shield, and the shield forged from stainless steel suddenly cracked a gap, and the powerful shock force shattered the bones of the shield hand in the front row.
"Shoot the arrow!" Otto is not flustered, although he is not very old, but he still has military talent, the descendants of the lord will be sent to the High Court from an early age to receive the highest level of training, except for a few down-and-out lords, the descendants of the rest of the lords are still very knowledgeable.
A series of magic bed crossbows stretched out from the gap in the iron shield, aimed at the enemy's light artillery, and after the rattling sound of the machine reinforcement, one by one sharp magic crossbow arrows suddenly shot out.
Bang!
The magic crossbow arrows that imprinted the attacks of the thunder, fire, and wind systems exploded directly on the enemy's light artillery town.
The terrifying wave of air swept wildly, directly crushing the enemy's artillery, and each light artillery was reduced to scrap copper and rotten iron.
"Kill!!"
The shouts of killing came, and more than a thousand light cavalry rushed in fearlessly, with a face full of madness, waving the scimitar in his hand and slashing at the iron shield in front.
When!
Bang!!
The horses instantly crashed into the iron shield, and the terrible force smashed the iron shield in front of them, and hundreds of shield-bearers were trampled into flesh by the enemy's horses.
"Archers stand back! The heavy cavalry tore them apart!" Odo's expression was calm and indifferent, the military flag was waving in the hot air, and the heavy cavalry, who had already been ready to go, "Qiang Qiang" slapped their heavy armor with their spears, and the specially bred war horses suddenly let out a neighing sound, like a small mountain, towards more than a thousand light cavalry, and launched a battle.
Burst!!
More than 1,000 light cavalry were torn apart by the heavy cavalry of the empire in an instant, and all the heavy cavalry basically did not assassinate them with spears, but crushed them all the way, ramming the cavalry in front of them, and trampling them to death with men and horses!
Woo~~
Suddenly, a drum and trumpet sounded, and the 80,000 heavy cavalry of the Ebelon Empire suddenly charged.
The formation of the Empire had been shattered by the suicidal charge of the light cavalry, and the only thing that could suppress them and delay them was the artillery of the Empire.
"Re-array!No!Change formation, change formation! Heavy infantry replace shield bearers, stab them to death for me!" "Odo's face was full of hideousness, more than a thousand artillery guns roared continuously, this was a bloody killing, the artillery was mounted on a high place, it could condescendingly carry out saturation strikes on the enemy, and its artillery could be damaged, but the opponent could not, it could only be pressed and beaten.
The heavy cavalry of the Ebelon Empire against the heavy infantry of the Tulip Empire, these two branches of the army, are the proud armies of both sides, and they are known as the first in the mainland.
This wonderful interpretation was soon presented in front of Li Jun, when tens of thousands of heavy cavalry charged over like a flood beast, a heavy spear stretched out along the gap in the shield, like a thorny hedgehog.
Poof!
Bang!!
The heavy spears are all made of special metals made by alchemists, which are not only hard, but also extremely heavy.
The heavy infantry of the Tulip Empire was strictly selected, most of them were made up of slaves, raised from childhood, extremely loyal to the royal family, and relied on military merit to get out of slavery and even become a lord!
Their skeletons are unusually tall, and it is said that they are a people conquered by the Founding Emperor in the northwest, and the descendants left behind are all over 1.9 meters, wearing heavy steel armor on their bodies, and they can also walk like flying.
The heavy infantry was like an unbreakable iron bucket, still standing still under the fierce charge of the enemy's heavy cavalry.
Drink!
A spear glowing with earthy yellow suddenly slashed down, and with a bang, the two iron shields cracked directly.
"Kill!"
Dozens of sharp spears pierced through, and the heavy cavalry sneered disdainfully, and all the spears were broken with a sweep of the gun.
Burst!
Suddenly, a bed crossbow glowing with magical light pierced the horseman's chest, and small arcs of lightning crackled in all directions, and the whole body was scorched.
Since the beginning of the war, the first Earth Martial Sword Master, due to negligence, has died under the enhanced version of the magic bed crossbow.
......
The morning attack basically didn't happen to Li Jun.
The two have a clear division of labor, the empire is responsible for the regular troops, and Li Jun has to take on the most terrifying iron-backed dragon army and the iron-horned rhinoceros army.
"General, in just one morning, we have lost more than 8,000 soldiers! Relying on the terrain and the assistance of firepower, the other side will not be able to break through the ...... in a short period of time," said a senator helplessly.
The rest of the officers and senators also frowned and talked a lot.
"General, let's get our magicians on board, we'll be able to break through their barrel-like defenses!" said one of the magisters.
The Supreme Commander waved his hand, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and said: "Order the soldiers to eat dinner in advance, attack the other party on time at eight o'clock in the night!"
"This ......" a guide who lived in the desert all the year round suddenly hesitated, and he cautiously said to the Supreme Commander: "My lord, the night of the desert is the most terrible period, not only the temperature will drop sharply, but also the sandstorms and hurricanes will attack, this kind of time...... It's really not good to go out!"
The Supreme Commander smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and said, "I have made up my mind, this is a general order, everyone go and prepare." ”
~~
In the afternoon, the enemy huddled in the barracks, not taking a single step.
Odo sent a light cavalry to provoke, but was repulsed by the enemy's arrows.
"What does he mean by that?" Otto was a little surprised, and did not dissolve the formation, but stood by and waited.
One hour, two hours, three hours......
Li Jun's piece has already been eaten, more than a thousand soldiers, and a large number of demonic beasts always have to eat, and the demonic beasts wearing heavy armor look extremely powerful, like mountains of meat.
Odo's army was already hungry, and in desperation, he ordered the cooks to bring food to the forward positions and eat in place.
"Kill!!"
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing, and everyone hurriedly threw down the food, got up quickly, and waited for the battle.
More than a thousand light horsemen rushed forward, stopped at a safe range, and laughed loudly at the soldiers who were like frightened birds, and then flew away.
Odo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "The other party wants to drag us down, not let my soldiers eat, and fight them hungry!" Order: All the soldiers alternate to eat and rest, send scouts, observe the enemy's movements five kilometers outside the position, and if the other side really has a large-scale troop movement, immediately send a signal flare to notify!"
"Yes!"
......
After an afternoon of harassment and attacks, it was night in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers held out until about six o'clock, the wind in their ears became louder and louder, and the temperature plummeted below zero.
Odo pondered for a moment and ordered most of the soldiers to return to their warm tents and sleep, leaving behind a large number of scouts, scattered more than a dozen kilometers ahead, closely monitoring the movements.
"Ha~~ What the hell is this, it's hot to death during the day and cold to death at night!" one of the scouts rubbed his palms and complained in a low voice.
"Be quiet, don't make any noise, and let the other party find out!" another scout scolded.
"In my opinion, this is simply more, you look at the weather, there are sandstorms and hurricanes, and a cow can be blown up, as long as you are not a fool, who will attack at night?"
The scout was about to say something, when suddenly there was a slight sound in the sand.
Although the sound was slight, both of them were specially trained people with extraordinary hearing.
Two short crossbows aimed at the source of the sound, the two scouts stared nervously, and a turtle's head sprang out of the sand.
"He's a...... It turned out to be a turtle...... "A scout scolded, pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and abdomen, and just wanted to deal with it, two sharp claws stretched out from both sides of the black **, scratching the heads of the two scouts.
Nawu** revealed his body from the sand......
It turned out to be a snapping turtle! (To be continued.) )
