Chapter 64: Invasion

The battle began in the afternoon, and the time of the king of Ho Yu was exactly the time of the last shift of the city wall defenders every day.

The timing was well thought out, as Gangga's vanguard would quickly capture a section of the city wall and several watchtowers, leaving a path up the city wall to ensure that the follow-up troops would be able to fight in a steady stream.

When night falls, neither side will act rashly. At the very least, the defenders of Kanseki Castle will be overwhelmed and will use the first night after the battle to figure out the situation.

This is exactly what King Heyu needs, as long as he can survive the first night. The first Koga army would build fortifications overnight, and then the Koga army would provide enough troops to establish a battle line in the northwest corner of the castle, and gradually increase its forces to encroach on the entire city.

The first to enter the battlefield was a badly equipped army, with no standard armor, only broken pieces of armor and rags covering their bodies, and the only thing these soldiers had in common was that their armor was red.

When the defenders of Jinguan City saw this force, they immediately thought that it was just some mob, and they did not take it too seriously, and did not connect the other party with the regular army with military training at all. The result of the light enemy was disastrous, and the entire northwest corner of the city wall and the two watchtowers were soon captured by the raiding Gangga army.

After a brief period of panic, the sergeant major of the garrison closest to the battle site immediately led his soldiers to launch a counterattack against Gangga's army, and the two sides fell into a stalemate on the narrow city walls.

Soon, the defenders were shocked by the number of enemies, and even with reinforcements from defenders elsewhere, the Kirchers were in a state of retreat.

Of course, the defeat of the Ketcher defenders was not only related to numbers, but also to morale. These defenders have never been on the real battlefield, and they are all like wine bags and rice bags, and of course they can't beat the soldiers of the former Ganghe Third Army who are like death squads on the opposite side.

As night came, Gangga's army did not continue to attack the Kitchher army, but chose to take the initiative to weaken the offensive and instead devote its energy to the establishment of the castle defense line.

Sergeant Major Kicher, who was stationed at the city walls, certainly did not let the enemy get his way. Originally, because he was beaten by an enemy who didn't know where he came from, he was holding back a fire at this moment. Seeing that the opponent's attack was weakening, he thought it was a precursor to victory, and immediately organized a group of elite troops to attack the enemy's front.

However, these sergeant majors did not realize the difference in strength between themselves and the other side, and after these elite soldiers were eliminated by dividing them by two, Gangga's army even took advantage of the lack of strength of the Kircher army, abandoned the construction of fortifications, and then launched an attack on the next watchtower, in an attempt to add another stronghold.

Seeing that another watchtower was about to fall, the sergeant majors also realized the seriousness of the problem, and rushed to this small battlefield with their men, trying to use all their strength to regain the newly lost territory.

So a full few hundred troops on both sides started a fierce tug-of-war around this small watchtower, and the place where ten soldiers usually stood was crowded was now stuffed with soldiers.

The torches in the watchtower had already been knocked off by some of the unlucky guys in the battle, and now the entire space was pitch black, only screams were heard incessantly. The soldiers were pushed and shoved into the darkness by those behind, and no one knew where the enemy was, but kept waving their swords at those who rushed in.

The battle for the watchtower was extremely fierce, no one knew whose hands the control of the watchtower was at this time, and the commanders on both sides were just blindly sending soldiers into the battlefield.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and many soldiers who have climbed the city have been squeezed down the city tower directly because they can't see the road clearly, and there are also soldiers under the city wall who have been hit by these people who have fallen from the tower from time to time, and the screams are endless.

Sibi walked quickly into the watchtower, which was very close to the watchtower that was still fighting for at the forefront, only separated by two watchtowers. At this time, the guards of the western wall of Jinguan City and several sergeant majors were discussing the battle around a table, and a sharp-eyed sergeant major was the first to see it, and quickly stood up straight and saluted:

"General!"

When the guard general and the other sergeant major heard this, they also hurriedly saluted Sibi, who waved his hand and said, "There is no need for these etiquette, who can come and tell me the specific situation this time." Who is our enemy, where did he come from, and how many troops are there? ”

The guard quickly replied: "Report to the general, the enemy ran out of the camp of the Ganghe mission, and their current strength should be about 1,000 people, but I don't know if there is still an army in the camp of the Ganghe people." ”

Sibi pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Let the soldiers in front of you withdraw, it is not easy to fight on the city wall, let alone in the middle of the night." We do not know the situation of the enemy now, and we hastily send troops, most likely to send soldiers to their deaths. ”

"Yes." The general took the order from Spir, turned and went out. The guard had barely taken two steps when he heard him shouting outside, "I have seen the archbishop."

The next moment, Jiang Ren slowly walked into the room of the watchtower, looked at Sibi and said: "Chief Lord, I heard that there is a little situation here, and I want to come here to take a look, you should have no opinion." ”

Spippi looked at Jiang Ren with a smile and said, "Of course I don't mind, the archbishop has a lot of opportunities and has time to care about defense, which is really flattering." However, there is one thing I need to ask the archbishop. ”

"Oh, this is for the chief to make it clear, what is the problem, you have to ask it yourself?" Jiang Ren also looked at Sibi with a smile, so that the other party could not catch any flaws in his expression.

"I wonder if the archbishop can lend me some military strength so that I can expel these invaders as soon as possible? You must know that if the battle in this Jinguan City is deadlocked, it will be quite detrimental to the safety and development of the believers of your sect. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ren laughed twice and replied: "What are the words of the Chief Lord, for the defense of Jinguan City, it is natural for my temple to contribute. In fact, don't hide it from the Chief Chief, now the most elite Holy Light Knights of the Western Temple are already on their way here, and they will be able to serve the Chief Elder soon. ”

Listening to Jiangren's words, Sibi secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, Jiangren has long known about Ganghe's invasion, and it is even very likely that he played an important role in it, but there is no evidence, otherwise Sibi would not be here to make a false deal with the other party, but directly let the sergeants on both sides control Jiangren.

With Spir's order, the Kircher defenders immediately withdrew their troops, giving up the third watchtower to the invading Gangga army. As the battle ended, Gangga's army began to rebuild its defenses, preparing for retaliation from the Kirchers the next day.

At the same time, a cavalry unit on a white horse and dressed in white heroic armor arrived at Kitcher's position. The first knight turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Jiang Ren, knelt down on one knee and said, "Xiao Cui, the head of the Holy Light Knights, see the archbishop!" ”

Then the knight stood up, and gave a military salute to Sibi, "I've seen the chief man." ”

Sibi also nodded at Xiao Cui, this knight leader is an acquaintance with him, and he is a sincere person, which is more of his appetite, and he naturally will not put on any face to show the other party. And I heard that this guy has a son who is also studying in the Western Army Demon, and Sibi gradually has some ideas in his heart, if he lets Si Zhi get in touch, he may dig the corner of the temple.

Xiao Cui only knew that he was here to reinforce the defense, and saluting Sibi was just an inherent etiquette of a knight, where did he know what Sibi was thinking, only when this temporary boss was quite talkative, he wouldn't put on a show.

King Heyu looked at the city defense map in the big tent, and he was a little dissatisfied with the "gift" given by the Kicher people, after all, a watchtower was not a major gain, and he also lost a lot of soldiers for it.

Of course, it's just cannon fodder.

In addition, a spy reported to him the movements of Kicher's army, and Sbie's swiftness was beyond his expectations, and if he did not do anything to hinder the Kicher people, he would be surrounded by Kicher's army by tomorrow morning.

It seems that I still think highly of myself and underestimate the enemy. King He Yu also had a little awe of Sibi in his heart, although some of the Kitcher soldiers below were undisciplined, but tactically Sibi was unambiguous, I heard that there was also a brave knight order under him, which created a very deep memory for Ganghe's army in the last retreat of the Ganghe people.

He Yu Wang looked at the city defense map intently, and after a while, he suddenly said to Dai Xue on the side: "Great sage, I'll leave you with the next." ”

Dai Shi bowed slightly, and then disappeared into thin air.

Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly watching the flowing elements in his hands. The club competition ended the day before yesterday, because of the abnormal termination of the event, there was no ranking in the end, which also saved the promotion tournament in the next half month. So the day after the end, Zhang Yuan went to find Wang Zhuanzhi and continued to receive magic guidance, and after these two days of hard work, he can now finally barely "squeeze" the elemental power from the palm of his hand to the outside world.

However, this achievement is still far from the magic taught by Wang Zhuanzhi, Zhang Yuan can only release the magic power contained in the elements now, but he can't subtly control these magic powers, let alone transmit them to others.

However, Zhang Yuan is not discouraged, this result is much better than before, although the progress is slow, but it is not nothing. Thinking so, Zhang Yuan clenched his fists.

At this moment, a scream suddenly resounded in the room, but Zhang Yuan was not lightly frightened, and he quickly rushed out of the room to look at the door directly opposite.

Coincidentally, the opposite door also opened, and a petite figure stood opposite Zhang Yuan in pajamas, which was Chengge, who had moved over to live.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw doubts and uneasy expressions in each other's eyes. Zhang Yuan held on to the wall with one hand and walked towards the stairs, and with the other hand pressed the air, signaling to relax with a song.

Zhang Yuan walked downstairs, slowly opened the door, and poked his head out, but he didn't expect that many students opened the door and walked outdoors at this time, and then these students spontaneously lined up and walked in one direction.

As Zhang Yuan observed, from time to time, scattered students walked out of the door and formed a team with other students, walking in the direction where the previous students had left.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, and then realized that he and Chengge seemed to be following those teams.

It's just that he still doesn't understand what these people are doing.

Is it an earthquake drill?
