Chapter 21: The Battle of Hanse
Vannibal didn't intend to keep Ayron waiting too long, and soon, under the cover of tall rock golems, Gangga's soldiers launched an attack on Hanse.
The defending Hanseille immediately returned fire, and a unit with robes instead of armor appeared at the head of the Hanse.
They were the ranged magic units of the Hanshire garrison, and they were undoubtedly better at shooting enemies from a distance with magic than at hand-to-hand combat in hand-to-hand combat, and their robes were designed to amplify the power of magic.
It seems that the power of this wave of magic is not bad, especially in the case of the dense charge of Ganghe's soldiers, the magic killing effect is very obvious.
Although many people died in Gangga's army, there was a faint smile on Wannibal's face. The magic that came out of the city was a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of people under his command.
And the ranged troops on Vannibal's side are also advancing, as long as they wait for their own ranged magic troops to enter the position, they can quickly suppress the firepower at the head of the city.
Ai Rong obviously understands this, but the opponent's ranged troops have been hiding behind the huge body of the rock golem, and if the rock golem is not destroyed first, it will not be able to strike at the enemy's ranged troops.
And Vanibal was clearly prepared, the rock golem and the siege towers on it were glowing with shields, and it was obvious that they were carrying elite troops who were good at magical defense.
Ai Rong is a little anxious, the current situation is very unfavorable to him, if the Hanse soldiers at the head of the city enter the firing range of the long-range troops on the opposite side, and then attack the Ganghe people below, they will be counterattacked by long-range fire.
But if you don't attack, the gates are very dangerous. The hordes of Gangga soldiers below rushed over as if they were not dying, and it was undoubtedly unwise to let so many people from the other side rush to the city and attack the city gate.
Seeing the rock puppet on the opposite side getting closer and closer, Ai Rong sighed, it seemed that the other party was indeed prepared, and he had to choose to engage with Ganghe people in a short fight.
Under Aeron's command, all the ranged magic soldiers in the city were withdrawn and replaced with heavily armed soldiers.
In Gangga's army, bursts of light began to flash, and the head of Hansa was instantly overwhelmed by countless magic attacks, fortunately, all the Hansab soldiers were hiding behind the battlements. Magical energy of different colors hit the city walls, only to stir up circles of yellow ripples, and then disappeared without a trace.
This was the magic shield of the Hansean walls, and although it was impossible to break the walls with these magic spells, Vanibal's goal of suppressing the fire of the city was achieved.
The rock golem was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the Ganghe soldiers on the siege tower could already see the Hanse soldiers crouching on the city, and the Hanse soldiers were staring straight at the approaching enemy.
The siege tower finally crashed into the city wall, and with a burst of chanting, countless Ganghe soldiers jumped down and jumped onto the city, and the Hanse soldiers, who were already in full battle at the head of the city, immediately raised their weapons and rushed up to try to push the Ganghe people off the wall.
Seeing that the soldiers on his side had gone up to the city wall, Ganghe's long-range troops all turned their targets to the city gate, so the red and blue energy all slammed into the city gate.
Although there is also a magic shield on the city gate, the strength is obviously not as strong as the shield of the city wall, and at the beginning, the magic attack hit the city gate and you can see a flash of golden light, which canceled out the energy of the attack, and soon the golden light on the city gate was much dimmer.
With the sound of glass shattering, the Ganghe people under the city all cheered, followed by a dense wave of magic attacks hitting the city gate.
At this time, the noise of the inner and outer gates of the city gate was in stark contrast, and in the quietest place on the battlefield, all the Hansei soldiers stared at the shaking city gate with a flaming gaze in their eyes.
The battle at the head of the city continued, and at every moment you could see people falling, falling heavily to the ground, whether they were corpses or living people, falling on the ground and turning into a blur.
But the Hansei soldiers at the gates turned a blind eye to the corpses, because they believed that their comrades could defend the walls, and they had only one task, that is, to use their own flesh and blood to pile up new gates at the moment when the gates were breached.
And in the defensive battle on the city walls, it was indeed the Hanseilles who had the upper hand, and a touch of silver performed a dance called death on the city walls.
At this time, the silver cloak on Aeron's back was gone, and on his hand, a ball of silver quickly changed shape like a liquid, sometimes turning into a spear, sometimes into a broadsword.
Although the silver object was like flowing water in his hands, it had a completely different effect when it fell on the enemy's body.
The soldier saw that he was holding a sword in his hand with his back to him, so he smirked and stabbed his spear, but the spear pierced Aeron's silver clothes, and made the sound of gold and iron clashing.
Before the soldier could be surprised, he saw Eron with his back to him swing his backhand, and with a silver slash, a head flew into the sky. When his head hit the ground, his mouth slowly opened, his eyes widened, but he could only watch his body fall to the ground.
Some soldiers saw the silver spear stabbing at the front door, and subconsciously raised their shields to defend, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in their hands, and they saw the cold axe blade cut through the wooden shield and slashed heavily on his face.
Eron didn't exert any force, and the axe stuck in the enemy's head turned into liquid and flowed back into his hand, turning into a spear.
This is the bloodline magic of the Ai family, and it is practiced in the cold and snow.
Despite its snowy name, this is not water-based magic, but a variation of earth-based magic.
Xuehan Lian is a mass of metal material that was associated with the birth of the Ai family, because of its color is snow-white and agile like practice. Every Ai family member can learn to control their own snow and cold practice through the magic practice of the day after tomorrow, to the extent that they can not only transform weapons and armor for battle, but also turn them into cups and chopsticks.
Snow Cold Training can grow by devouring other metals, and in order to specialize in the combat use of Snow Cold Training, Aeon used a large amount of mercury to cultivate, so the Snow Cold Training on his body turned silver. However, the degree of its power is also obvious, not only is it more agile and silky, but it is also incredibly heavy and extremely lethal.
At this time, Vanibal, who was watching the battle from a distance, also frowned, although he had already received the information, but the strength of the silver figure on the city wall was still beyond his expectations.
If nothing else, the first troops should have no chance of winning, because those ordinary soldiers have no power to resist such a war machine.
However, he is not worried, there is only one Eyron, no matter how strong it is, what is the use, his secret weapon should be able to be transported to the rear army soon, and after a while, he can arrange for the rear army to pull here, and when the time comes, it will be the death date of this Ejon.
Eron had no idea what Vaunibal was thinking, but he could feel the mood of the Gangga soldiers around him. That's fear, fear, fear beyond measure.
At this time, he had turned into a silver meat grinder, and as the silver light on his body flew up and down, countless flesh and blood were sprinkled high into the sky, and then fell from the sky to the city, and the city suddenly rained blood.
Most of these pioneers were originally former soldiers, and of course, there were also elites specially transferred from the Chinese army by Wannibal, and the shields on the rock golems were their masterpieces.
But the bravest are those elites, they were the first to die under Ai Rong's hands, and the living Ganghe soldiers at the head of the city are all former soldiers who had experienced the battle of Saimenxia a few days ago.
These soldiers had only seen the brutal massacre of the blood drinkers some time ago, and now they saw a copy of the blood drinkers, how could they not be afraid, besides, they were able to be chased and run last time, but this time they didn't even have a place to run.
The nerves of the Gangga soldiers collapsed in an instant, and many of them immediately threw their weapons on the ground, and then fell to their knees and raised their hands high.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
At this point, the battle at the head of the city was basically coming to an end, and only some small rebellions were still there.
But Ai Rong did not dare to relax at all, although the city gate was strong, but he could not resist such a long attack, he had to hurry down to the city gate to organize defense.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a loud noise from under the city, and he secretly said that it was not good, the city gate must have been breached.
As if to confirm his suspicions, the frenzied shouts of Gangga soldiers came from the city, and he poked his head out to the city, only to see that Gangga soldiers had already passed through the city gate, and his subordinates were also roaring towards the Gangga soldiers who rushed in the city gate.
The front row of Hansei soldiers all held a large shield, and the comrades behind them stretched their spears through the gap in the shield.
Countless Ganghe soldiers were pushed and crashed into the gun forest in front of them, and instantly skewered on the spear like a string of sugar gourds. The Gangga soldiers behind used their comrades as meat shields, successfully turning the gun array into a non-threatening meat skewer, so they shouted and crashed into the Hanseill shield array.
Not to be outdone, the soldier holding the shield slammed the shield on the ground, opened his steps and pressed the shield against his left shoulder, and then drew his short sword from his waist with his right hand and stabbed it out quickly from the gap in the shield.
Ai Rong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, the difference between the strength of the troops on the other side and his own was too great, and he would not be able to hold it at all if he continued like this.
If this continues, the only way to retreat is to retreat to the second line of defense in the city. Earlier Aeon had already deployed the remote soldiers and some of his men who had withdrawn from the city to the city, relying on the buildings in the barracks to establish a second line of defense.
At this time, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of something flickering from outside the city, and he noticed that the siege tower outside was gone, and when he looked at it, the rock puppet outside was bending down at this time, and with his huge palm, he connected the ranged soldiers on the ground to the siege tower.
Vanibal, who was in the distance, also saw this scene, and secretly screamed in his heart, the general who controlled the rock puppet in front could not see the situation at the head of the city, and could only transport long-range soldiers up to provide fire support.
Saying that it was too late, Eron did not hesitate, and jumped directly from the city, and landed heavily on the ground with a few borrowings of force from the rock puppet.
The Ganghe soldiers on the ground only saw a person falling from above, and by the time they reacted and looked closely, it was too late.
Ai Rong's body was half-squatting, supporting the ground with one hand, and all the snow and cold exercises flowed to the ground, and even the silver on his body completely faded, leaving only a beautiful red armor.
In the next second, countless silver spikes shot out from the ground, directly piercing all the surrounding Ganghe soldiers. Then Aaron raised his head, stared at a figure in the crowd, and waved his hands forward.
This time the attack was organized by one of Vanibal's generals, and the control of the rock golem was also in his hands. The general saw a man leap down from the city, killing many of his own soldiers in an instant, and was about to call the long-range troops back.
At this moment, the general suddenly felt Aeron's gaze looking this way, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and was about to turn off his horse, but at a glance he saw a silver meteor flying towards him.
His time was frozen forever in that second, and he sat on his horse with one leg already lifted on the horse's back. The left eye turned into a large hole through the skull, and the murder weapon was gone.
In his right eye, a long silk was reflected in the swift retraction, and then he tilted his body and fell under the horse.
The rock puppet lost control for a while, and fell directly on the top of the Ganghe soldiers, turning the people smashed by Ganghe people on their backs, just blocking the city gate.
Ai Rong withdrew Xue Han Lian, who had turned into a long silk, and threw his backhand at the head of the city, only to see Xue Han Lian fly up to the city, circle around the battlements a few times, and pull the Ai Rong below up again.
Vanibal saw it from behind, and knew that this attack had failed, so he ordered his men to blow the horn of retreat.
Hearing the terrible sound of the horn on the other side, Ai Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then his gaze drifted to the outside of the city, in the heavy mountains behind Ganghe's army.
I don't know what happened to Swei.
