Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fierce Battle of Longlingji (I)
The next morning, as soon as Chengge walked into Zhang Yuan's tent, he covered his nose, and although the house had been cleaned, there was still a very pungent smell.
She came to deliver breakfast to Zhang Yuan, since the logistics materials of the Ganghe people were captured, everyone's food has become much better, and even the jerky can be enjoyed often.
At this time, Zhang Yuan was still asleep, and Chun Mengya's notes were still next to his head.
Chengge glanced at Zhang Yuan distressedly, gently put breakfast on the table and turned to go out.
It seems that my brother is studying magic very hard.
By this time Hanse's soldiers had already risen, and all of them had entered the defensive line, staring closely at the opposite bank. They knew that at this time, Gangga's army had become a trapped beast, and they would definitely attack their own defense line desperately.
At this time, there was still a thick fog floating on the river, and only the camp tent of the Ganghe people on the opposite bank and the fortress of Longlingji could be faintly seen across the water.
There was an eerie silence on the river, and only the sound of heralds running back and forth in the Hansean barracks could be heard.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, there was movement in the military camp of the Ganghe people.
In the thick fog, a huge figure stood up from the ground, the same rock golem that had attacked Hanses with the siege tower on its back, only this time the siege tower on its back was gone, replaced by a black, flat object longer than its body.
"I'll go, what's that?" There was a commotion among the soldiers on Hanse's side, and everyone's eyes were drawn to what was on the back of the rock golem.
Siwei naturally saw it too, and he saw Wannibal's intentions at a glance, and scolded: "Bastard, Wannibal, this old fox, this is their bridge, hurry, herald, go and tell the brothers in front of you to get ready for battle." ”
"Yes."
Heralds began to run back and forth in the barracks, and the whole barracks was like a huge machine, running fast, waiting to harvest the lives of the enemy.
After the last battle, Siwei now had only more than 2,000 men under his command, and only 1,800 people were left in charge of the prisoners. Despite this, this Qianba still has water, and he has already counted all the baggage soldiers he brought with him.
The rock golem slowly walked towards the River, and then in the dull thunderous footsteps of the giant golem, there were faster footsteps, and the chaotic sound of gold and iron grinding.
It's Ganghe people, and such a thought appeared in everyone's hearts. The Ganghe people were following the foot of the rock golem and were walking towards the river.
Immediately after that, there was the sound of something entering the water on the other side, and the rock golem immediately became a little shorter, and only one board could be seen standing motionless in the air.
What are Ganghe people going to do?
Hanse's soldiers invariably asked in their hearts, and at this time there was no sound on the other side again, only a dead silence remained, but everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in mid-air, and the board disappeared directly, which made all the Hanseki soldiers stunned. But soon they knew where the board was, but in less than a second, a huge black shadow appeared in the fog in front of them, and slammed down on the riverbank.
There was a loud bang, and everyone felt a violent tremor, and even the stones on the river bank jumped up. There was an overwhelming splash on the surface of the river, obscuring the view of the Hanseill soldiers.
Immediately after that, there was a shout of killing on the river, and watching the water curtain gradually fall, the Hanse soldiers realized that there was already a very wide and thick wooden bridge in front of them.
The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and even the bridge deck could be seen trembling slightly, and the soldiers involuntarily clenched their weapons, and their breathing gradually became rapid.
Suddenly, countless soldiers in brown armor broke through the fog and appeared in front of the Hanse's soldiers. They stepped on the bridge, raised their weapons aloft, and ran towards them with a wide range of steps.
Si Wei didn't know when he had come to the front line of defense, and he raised his right hand as he watched Ganghe get closer and closer.
"Put!" Si Wei's hand waved downward, and the four Fafna who were placed in front of the formation roared angrily, and those Ganghe people who were running, like leeks being cut, fell down in an instant, and the formation became much thinner.
Fafnir was immediately carried to the back, leaving only the corpses strewn across the bridge to prove that they had been baptized on the battlefield.
There were many Ganghe soldiers who were still alive and immediately stunned, they didn't know about the existence of Fafnir, and at this time, when they saw their own people running around, they suddenly fell into a large area, and they were so frightened that their souls flew on the spot.
Taking advantage of the Gang Crane people to a halt, a group of soldiers rushed out of Hanse's line, and they threw all of them onto the bridge deck with large bundles of firewood or hay.
A soldier used fire magic to ignite the firewood and grass, and the bridge deck instantly rose into the sky, and the crackling burning sound was endless.
Seeing that the plan was successful, Siwei reached out and wiped the sweat from his face, all of which were soaked in oil, and could be ignited even on the surface of the river with plenty of moisture.
Originally, he planned to set these things on fire and throw them out from the second line of defense when the first line of defense was lost, so that he could prevent the Ganghe people on the opposite side from gaining a foothold and immediately launch a second wave of attacks.
Unexpectedly, instead of crossing the river by boat, the Ganghe people directly tied the bridge to the rock puppet and made the puppet fall down to make a bridge pier. In this way, he must block the Ganghe people on the bridge deck, otherwise a large number of Ganghe people will soon rush over.
At this time, Zhang Yuan had already gotten up, in fact, he woke him up when the rock puppet smashed into the water, but the shaking was so terrifying that it directly scared Zhang Yuan, making him think that there was an earthquake.
Zhang Yuan yawned and slowly walked into the second line of defense. As soon as he walked into the defense line, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and when he looked closely, there was actually a fire burning on the river, and through the light of the fire, he could see that the Ganghe soldiers over there were trying to scoop water from the river to extinguish the fire.
He looked at the Hansei soldiers in front of him again, and couldn't help but admire them a little, he felt the heat rolling here, and the temperature had risen a lot, but it was conceivable that the front line of defense must be hotter, but all the soldiers stayed quietly in their positions and did not move.
It was really hot on the first line of defense, and what was even worse was that the soldiers were wearing heavy metal armor, and at this time it felt like they were being locked in an iron pot and stewed, and sweat flowed uncontrollably on everyone's faces.
But they can't move at the moment, the Ganghe people on the other side don't know when they will put out the fire, they must stay here, no matter how hot they are, they can't take a step back.
Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, the Ganghe soldiers on the bridge took off their helmets and scooped water from the river and poured it on it. I didn't expect this to help at all, the fire was so big that it couldn't be extinguished.
It seemed that the Ganghe people were helpless against the burning bridge, and the Hanseki soldiers in the first line of defense were relieved, even though they were already sweating from the heat.
At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.
The bridge deck shook violently suddenly, and many Ganghe soldiers were unsteady on their feet and fell directly into the water. Then a huge rock hand stretched out from under the water, and with a sweep of the bridge deck, it swept all the firewood and grass into the water.
The flames soon drifted away from the current, leaving only the burned ashes and charred decks.
Siwei stared closely at the giant hand that slowly withdrew under the water, he was not surprised or frustrated that Vanibal had cracked his plan, but coldly ordered, "Put fire on it again." ”
The soldiers who received the order quickly rushed out with hay in their arms, and the Gangga soldiers on the opposite side wiped their sweat and saw that the enemy had carried a bunch of things to burn the bridge, how could this happen.
So the Gangga soldiers stepped on the already burned bridge and rushed to the opposite bank, trying to stop the soldiers who had rushed out of the Hanseki line to set fire. Unexpectedly, Si Wei had already prepared, and countless earth blocks and stones suddenly fell on the top of the Ganghe soldiers, and many stones smashed on the soldiers' heads with a muffled sound, and the soldiers were planted from the bridge into the water.
This is the earth magic launched by Si Wei, the mud and rock meteor shower, this magic trick is really worthy of the name, and the storm composed of rocks directly hit the Ganghe soldiers who can't find the north.
At this time, the fog on the river surface had almost dispersed, and the scene of his subordinates being blocked could be seen clearly, although he could also use earth magic, but it was too far away, and he was really at a loss.
Knowing that he would take the lead with a mix of ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers, Vanibal sighed, he still had to manipulate the rock golem to extinguish the fire. The rock golem is now buried underwater as a bridge pier, and every move consumes a lot of mana, so it's no wonder that Wannibal is a little reluctant.
Hanse's soldiers set fire to the bridge again, and the rock golem's hand came out from under the water again, and it seemed that Vanibal was ready to repeat his old trick.
"Put!" Siwei looked at the outstretched hand, a smug smile on his face.
A purple streamer flew out of Hanse's position and hit the rock golem's wrist. It is said that it is a wrist, but in fact, it is just a place where the palm and arm are directly next to each other.
This shot hit the red heart, and the rock puppet fell into the river with its entire hand, leaving only one arm standing on the water like a stone pillar.
The stone pillar stopped on the surface of the water for two seconds, probably because of this situation, and Wannibal was also stunned by this situation, but soon, the stone pillar slammed into the water, causing a splash. Then the rock golem's arm was raised again, and it slammed into the water again.
Unexpectedly, Wannibal learned wisely, and he didn't use his other hand to extinguish the fire, but directly used the severed arm to slap the water to extinguish the fire.
In a few moments, the raging fire was doused by the splash of water from the rock golems. The fire was extinguished, but smoke rose from the haystacks.
Seeing this, Si Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Heavy soldiers, heavy soldiers, go up and blow the smoke over." ”
Immediately, a team of fifty or sixty men ran out of the fortifications, rushed to the front of the first line of defense, and used the sail technique to blow the smoke to attack the Ganghe people.
Originally, the Ganghe soldiers were ready to step forward and kick the hay away, but they didn't expect the smoke to suddenly reach their faces, and many soldiers couldn't even open their eyes because of the smoke and dust in the gaps in their helmets, and some even rushed directly into the water because they couldn't see anything.
The attack was thwarted, and the soldiers on the bridge retreated like a tidal wave, and the wounded soldiers were carried back to the opposite bank by other soldiers.
Although he blocked an attack from Ganghe, Swei did not let up because of this, his methods were almost used, and Wannibal's side was only a tentative attack.
Next time, will you be able to repel the attack of the Gangga people?
