Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Action Begins 1

Two days passed quickly, and during these two days, Tsai carefully prepared the equipment he had brought, and of course, when everyone was enthusiastically preparing for battle, Trosa, who had not yet recovered, could not help but complain.

"Well, can you stop for a while, and take care of the wounded, you know?" said Troissa jealously.

"Old Te, hehe, you just stay in the camp and recuperate well~~" On the other side, Sora Occam's itchy voice slowly reached Trosa's ears.

"Get out, Lao Tzu can cut people with one arm. Trossa said unconvinced.

"Sasa, don't get excited, there will be a fight in the future. At this time, even the usually taciturn Inheim teased on the side. Who doesn't know that this battle is the final decisive battle with the bandits in the territory, and after this battle, even if there are still a few bandits, it is not enough to worry, and there is no need for the regular army to attack.

"Inheim, so you're not a good boy. Troissa was already laughing in anger.

"Alright, Trosa, you can stay in the camp and rest well, and don't go up and make trouble for me. In your current state, I'm going to kill you all at once, and I want to go to the front line, find you. At this moment, Cuthbert, who was usually called fierce, said fiercely, and when he heard Cuthbert speak, Trossa immediately lost his temper. The two of them originally belonged to the same system, but they were the captains of the first squad, and he was only the captain of the second squad, so they were weaker than others. In the end, I could only sit silently with my head down, sulking. Seeing this, everyone inevitably laughed. At this time, Roland and Jean O'Feliel were strolling quietly in the barracks together. This habit has not stopped since the beginning of the logistics department, and of course, due to the darkness of the night, Roland has not noticed that Yan Ofeliel has been more shy than ever since Roland woke up from injury and visited the camp together. The two of them walked through the camp like this, and the occasional sight of some small flowers and small animals always attracted a burst of cheers from Yan Ofeliel, and Roland watched quietly, occasionally helping to catch a few disobedient small animals, and the words they spoke together in one night were not more than ten words, and the only ten words were just ordinary greetings.

"Woo~woo~~" On the morning of the third day, with the sound of a low horn, the flow of people in the entire camp gathered quietly and orderly, and after a while, all the combat personnel had gathered on the school ground. The Whispering Squad stood quietly on horseback, standing on the right side of Prince Xinlan, including Trosa. Looking at the crowd on the field, Roland suddenly felt a sense of pride, and the soldiers present at this time were the same elite as the gathering outside the south gate before the expedition, but with a sense of tempering of blood and fire. If it looked good before, then now it's a real iron-blooded elite. Suddenly, Roland felt more confident in this battle. In front of the team, there were three large transport vehicles, that is, those large transport vehicles that Roland and others swore to protect, still the same as when they were transported, tightly wrapped in black cloth, and many people looked at the three taxis and couldn't help but have curious eyes, is this the so-called new equipment? Just like these three cars, even if the cars are big, the number is too small. This is a common idea of many people. And Roland is also full of doubts, but helplessly, the Prince of Ceylon is too tightly protected by this secret weapon, and it is estimated that no one except Bulon and Yuwen Baixiao knows about it for the time being.

"Prince Qiqi, all the participants have been assembled and can go out at any time, please give the prince a lecture. When the crowd ceased to be surging, the herald reported loudly.

Looking at the many soldiers below, the Prince of Ceylon was also full of emotion for a while, if the situation had not changed, this battle would not have been so urgent, and everyone in the audience after this battle did not know how many could return to this school field intact. "Soldiers, this king will not say much, I will fight side by side with you in this battle, and I hope that after the battle, everyone can still return here to celebrate our victory. Shoot the arrows and go!" Prince Xinlan did not have a long speech, but said so slowly and sonorously. And with the volley of an arrow, the final battle slowly began.

The three armies are not very far apart, and there are only one or two peaks in between, and with the sound of the first arrow of the camp, a burst of arrows sounded on the entire mountain range, and after receiving the news, the two camps on the left and right also began to act slowly. The middle battalion where Roland was located was relatively farthest from the battlefield. Along the way, although the bandits no longer have the strength to take the initiative to attack, they are still filled with bright or dark sentry posts, monitoring every move of the bandits on the opposite side.

"Prince Qiyu, we will be at the Pygmore Pass in half an hour. After a long day of marching, everyone finally came to the front of the first battlefield of this battle. It was unusually quiet along the way, as if the bandits had disappeared in an instant, and not even a single sentry scout was encountered. So when they knew that they had come to the battlefield, the whole team was filled with a faint sense of restlessness for a while.

"Give the order to go down, bury the pot for cooking, and prepare for battle after resting for half an hour. "The Prince of Ceylon was not impatient because of the impending decisive battle, and still gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Roland, you and your team come with me. After arranging the army, the Prince of Ceylon addressed the Whispering Squad. He himself walked slowly towards the three large transports. When everyone came to the transport, it was the transporter that had been stripped of the black cloth on the outside, and only the huge carriage remained. After a while, several refiners from the refining workshop appeared next to the transport car, and after seeing that the three leading refiners used many strange methods and three keys each, the three transport vehicles were finally slowly opened to the mysterious carriage. What appeared in front of Roland and the others was not a mysterious personal equipment weapon, but a huge number of parts, which were basically made of stainless steel. With the joint efforts of many soldiers on the side, the first piece of equipment was slowly assembled, and when he was completely assembled, Roland and the others couldn't help but be amazed. In fact, everyone is familiar with this equipment, but if this equipment is made smaller, it is more acceptable to everyone, and it is a catapult. In Blair's bandit warfare, catapults have not been used, and they are used in large quantities, but first, due to the particularity of the Blair Mountains, it is impossible to use large catapults, and secondly, the usual catapults are just wooden, and those small ones are very effective at the beginning, but with the continuous war between the two sides, the bandits have gradually adapted to these small catapults, so more often the small catapults are just used as a kind of vitality suppression, and for those pass cottages built with Blair Mountain rocks, the attack effect is also average。 At this time, the catapult assembled in front of Roland and others Roland has only seen one place, that is, Blair Fortress, on the fortress, there are so many large catapults made of stainless steel, it is said that it can throw a half-ton boulder on the flat ground 400 meters away, if it is on the fortress, the distance can reach 500 meters. Looking at the behemoth in front of him, even the soldiers who assembled him felt a sense of oppression for a while. And when the three huge catapults were all assembled, the group only felt that the three huge monsters were crawling in front of everyone, imagining the attack from such a huge monster, and everyone could only silently mourn for the enemy on the opposite side.

With the order of the Prince of Ceylon, the three giant beasts that were originally at the back of the team slowly moved to the appropriate place to attack, and the enemies on the fortress were also full of stunned expressions when they saw the three behemoths. With the order of the magistrate, three boulders roared towards the fortress, although the first shot did not cause any substantial damage to the fortress, but the huge roar of the boulder landing still deeply challenged the nerves of both the enemy and the enemy. Although the enemy on the fortress also immediately gave a strong counterattack by throwing stones, but all the troops were outside its range, so there was nothing but the dust flying around. After a few shots, the catapult troops finally adjusted the elements of shooting, and began to exert the potential combat power of the three giant beasts, only to see one of the three boulders hit the front wall of the fortress fiercely, and the several nearby arrow towers that were originally standing on the fortress wall shook a few times, while the other flew to a watchtower, only to see that there was no pause, the watchtower disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the last one shot quickly to the fortress wall, only to see the boulder instantly become a smooth road. Under the attack of the giant catapult, the other small catapults slowly advanced towards their own range, and were also subjected to the stubborn counterattack of the defenders on the fortress in the middle, but in the end, under the cleaning of the giant catapult, the power of the counterattack gradually weakened, and when the small catapult reached the designated attack position, the giant catapult stopped his attack, and for the defenders of the fortress, it was only at this moment that a real storm was ushered in.

Although the road for the attack was narrow, and only three small catapults could be allowed to walk side by side, under the cover of the giant catapults, the catapult troops advanced to a place 200 meters away from the fortress before stopping, and organized a four-story catapult echelon.

"Stop the stone-throwing attacks. The sword and shield battalions and the arrow battalion took cover, and the light infantry battalion attacked. "After nearly an hour and a half of stone-throwing attacks, the Prince of Ceylon gave the order. At this time, the enemy fortresses, arrow towers, catapults, watchtowers, etc., have been razed to the ground, except that the tall walls are still firmly blocked in the road, and no longer have that oppressive feeling. Under the leadership of the commanders of each team, the army slowly advanced towards the fortress in front. The enemy who remained in the fortress slowly recovered from the attack of the catapult after seeing the attack of the large army and began their counterattack, but after losing the effective defensive tools such as the catapult and the arrow tower, the enemy could only rely on the few remaining archers and the stones stored on the fortress, and the other defensive equipment had already disappeared without a trace with the flying stones. But this kind of defense is not without effect, I saw that the light infantry who were advancing rapidly in front did not have anyone who was hit by an arrow and fell, and the sword and shield battalion could only protect the arrow battalion behind him. And as the Sword and Shield Battalion continued to advance, the Divine Arrow Battalion also slowly entered their attack position, and the occasional flying arrows were blocked by the soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion in front. With the addition of the Divine Arrow Battalion, the defenders on the fortress were once again baptized by a rain of arrows.

"Cover fire three times, followed by free fire!" ordered the commander of the Arrow Battalion after entering the position. With the effective support of three waves of arrows, the light infantry in front took this opportunity to erect a bamboo bridge to pass through the moat in front, and more quickly set up a ladder to start the attack. The ladder erected by the light infantry is not a simple ladder, there is a pair of barbs in the front section of the ladder, and after the city wall is erected, the shopping guide at the front end is deeply buckled on the outer edge of the city wall, making it difficult for the enemy to immediately open the ladder. And whenever an enemy tries to open the ladder, there will always be a deep greeting from the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion. When a local light infantry soldier stepped on the enemy fortress, it was like a stone on the surface of a calm lake, and in a few moments the enemy's walls were covered with besieging soldiers. From time to time, you can see soldiers being killed on the ground or knocked down the walls. The bandits in the mountains are now mostly experienced in combat, and although they have suffered heavy losses from the repeated ranged attacks of the warriors below, the remaining enemies still inflict great damage on the light infantry, and it has been difficult for the light infantry to go any further since they reached the city wall.

"Roland, take your team with me to the city wall. Looking at the battlefield in the distance, the Prince of Ceylon said to Roland, and before Roland could react, the Prince of Ceylon had rushed towards the battlefield with his escort.

"Whispering team, follow me!" Roland said without thinking about it, and only Yan Ofeliel was full of unbearable expression at the battlefield in the distance. When Roland and the others were advancing, the other elite troops had already marched towards the city wall, and the sword and shield battalion closest to the fortress had already gone up to the city wall, organizing an effective formation to stabilize the originally shaky battle line. After that, the warriors of the Divine Arrow Battalion and the Spear Battalion continued to pour onto the city walls, perfecting the formation, and advancing step by step. When Roland actually stood on top of the city wall, he realized how easy and difficult to defend this fortress was. In addition to the city wall in front of you, there are two connected city walls in the back, and there are more facilities such as urn city and hidden soldier cave inside the fortress, and of course, the main defense facilities of the entire fortress have been completely destroyed. Except for the caves, which are not very vulnerable to attack, it is no wonder that the enemy still has such a large combat power after withstanding such a long attack. Among the remaining bandits, there is no lack of orange halos, and there are a large number of red halos, which is another reason why it is difficult for light infantry to survive, but with the arrival of the elite troops and the Prince of Ceylon, the tide of battle immediately changed, and Roland also saw his father's true combat power for the first time. Qing halo descended, and the Prince of Ceylon was like a sharp sword, quickly cutting through the enemy's originally strong defensive line, while the guards and whispering teams that followed Prince Xinlan were like the promoters of the sword, constantly increasing the scope of damage. Not long after they joined the battle at Roland, the enemy began to crush. Not to mention the Prince of Ceylon at the front, it was an invincible existence here, that is, the repeated attacks of Roland and others and various elite troops later, so that the original few remnants of the enemy became more and more unable to organize effective resistance, and whenever someone organized resistance, the Prince of Ceylon would instantly kill the commander, and eliminate the resistance that had just risen in the initial stage. When the drawbridge at the main gate was lowered, the cavalry battalions that had been behind began to roar, and finally all the bandits disappeared into the fortress, except for a few bandits who escaped.

When everyone was fighting hard, only Yan O'Felil looked at everything on the city wall and was silent, looking at the screams and fighting voices all over the place, as well as the two sides who fell to the ground, an inexplicable unbearability appeared on Yan O'Felil's face, although the hatred for the bandits had not weakened, but when he saw the figures that fell to the ground one by one, he found that everyone was the same in the end, and there would be a nostalgia in his eyes. When she slowly treated the wounded soldier's wounds, a feeling of pity slowly appeared in Yan O'Feliel's eyes, as the feelings deepened, Yan O'Felil's blush was dyed a little bit of orange, and finally slowly replaced all the orange, in which she unconsciously reached the level of orange halo, looking at Yan O'Feliel's promotion, the other members of the whispering team who did not reach the orange halo could only report all kinds of helplessness。 "It's time to work harder. This is the common idea of everyone.

After clearing all the enemies in the fortress, in addition to leaving the necessary personnel to clean up the battlefield, the Prince of Ceylon led the army without hesitation towards Blackpool, although there were some enemy harassments from time to time on the way, but the bandits at this time no longer had the strength they had before, so the slight harassment did not affect the march of the army so much, before nightfall, the army arrived at the destination- Blackpool, looking at the peaks that had almost been immersed in the night, Roland and the others knew that the moment of decisive battle was approaching.
