87. Night Fight

The camp of the expeditionary force is full of images of Imperial soldiers fighting evil spirits.

Awakened from their sleep, the warriors quickly rushed out of their tents and joined in the fight.

These demons are very different from the demons they have come into contact with before, when they fought with the demons in the past, those demons basically fought to the death and never retreated, and they were never dead, but the demons who attacked the camp in front of them would turn around and flee once they couldn't defeat them.

The demon with a Roman sword in his abdomen saw the second squad of soldiers surrounding, and actually crashed into the tent on the left, and after trampling the tent with one kick, he jumped from the top of the tent and rushed into the chaotic battlefield with He Boqiang's Roman sword.

'My restructured Roman sword was still stuck in the demon's body, and I didn't have time to pull it out......

He Boqiang struggled to get up from his beard, and watched speechlessly as the evil ghost disappeared from sight.

Holding the dwarven chain shield back in his hand, he pulled up the bearded Kagle, who was sitting on the ground with his hands on his chest.

The soldiers of the second squad hurriedly rescued the soldiers in the collapsed tent, some of these soldiers were just tied up with canvas and could not break free for a while, and some were stabbed to death by evil spirits with military thorns in the process of fighting, and the tent was full of blood.

The hoplite soldiers in other places couldn't stop the evil spirits rushing in from outside the camp, and the methods of these evil spirits were ruthless, and the military spurs, sharp axes, and maces in their hands were the most lethal places to attack, and sometimes they even did not hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries, but also to kill the imperial soldiers in front of them.

The demons that poured in from the gap quickly advanced towards the center of the camp and quickly occupied the northeast corner of the barracks.

The camp of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is located in the northwest corner of the outermost part of the barracks, and the 58th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is located in the northeast corner to form a horn trend.

At the same time, these two heavy infantry regiments were the first to organize a part of the fighters to resist, and a large number of heavy infantry soldiers came out of the tents, wearing heavy armor, holding weapons and shields in their hands to form a human wall, trying to block the evil spirits who rushed into the barracks.

Hundreds of demons formed a wedge formation, like a sharp knife into the camp, the defense line of the hoplites was broken by the demons, and the demons kept attacking the central area of the camp, and the camp was full of the corpses of infantry soldiers, only a few demons fell in the camp.

The line of the heavy infantry regiment in the barracks was about to collapse at the touch of a button.

The soldiers of the 4th Brigade, led by Baron Sidney, also mixed in with the defensive line, and although they were not attacked by the demons, they were carried back by a large number of retreating infantry soldiers.

A group of heavy cavalry had assembled from that slope and were reinforcing along the passage in the camp, and under the drive of the demons, the retreating crowd collided with the rushing heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry could not move an inch.

The heavy cavalry, which could not charge, was actually not much stronger than the heavy armored infantry, and the demons rushed up, and the heavy cavalry could only retreat with the crowd.

More than three meters of demons chased after the crowd, and soldiers constantly fell on the way to escape.

Mondstadt. Count Goss tried to reorganize a defensive line, but by this time the wave of retreat had already formed, and with a few followers around him, there was no way to command this group of hoplites.

He Boqiang and all the soldiers of the second squad were also caught in the crowd, but fortunately, everyone was not dispersed by the crowd, but was pushed by the crowd to retreat to the central area of the barracks.

Seeing that the demon was close at hand, but could not rush forward to fight, Surdak's mood became a little impetuous.

At this time, the soldiers of the second squad were crowded near the cargo pile, which was full of ordnance, and some of the bed crossbows that had just been brought to the barracks had not even been opened, wrapped in tarpaulins.

When He Boqiang saw these bed crossbows wrapped in tarpaulin, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he forcibly squeezed away a soldier beside him, came to the side of the bed crossbow, and took out a dagger from his arms.

'Hiss......'

The dagger cut a slit in the tarpaulin, revealing a brand-new bed crossbow inside.

In the crowded crowd, Surdak led the soldiers of the second squad to tear off the tarpaulin of the bed crossbow, and a black bed crossbow exuded a cold atmosphere in the night.

How to operate a bed crossbow is one of the basic training items for the soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment, and this kind of thing is no stranger to the soldiers of the second squad.

"Augustus, go get a giant crossbow!"

"Cagle, check the bowstring of the bed crossbow."

"Garcia, little Dack, come with me to adjust the pitch angle and orientation of the bed crossbow, and aim at the demon in front of you......"

In the midst of the chaos, Surdak quickly issued a barrage of commands.

The fighters of the second squad reacted quickly, gathering around the bed crossbow.

Surdak jumped onto the console and swung his sword against the console's cables, and the chains fell.

Garcia in the red sock shook the turntable desperately to adjust the crosshair of the bed crossbow to a horizontal angle, He Boqiang helped Garcia shake the turntable together, and in the sound of mechanical friction of 'creaking', the bed crossbow began to move slowly.

Some of the hoplite fighters, who were still strong in the crowd of fleeing people, followed the example of the second squad of fighters and approached the bed crossbows.

Baron Sidney climbed onto the bed crossbow with a few servants, and began to gather the infantry soldiers of the fourth brigade with his sword, so that they could quickly move closer to the side of the pile.

Augustus carried a giant crossbow bolt more than three meters long from the shelf next to the bed crossbow, and together with Surdak, placed the giant crossbow arrow into the nest of arrows.

The bowstring was smoothly pulled away by the winch, and the crossbow body of the entire bed crossbow emitted a subtle roar, and the rune plates embedded in the crossbow lit up one after another.

Surdak's face flushed, and he aimed at a demon who was using his spur to lift an infantry soldier into the air, and his mouth let out a ghostly howl, but the infantry soldier was strung on the spur, his limbs writhing in pain and struggling.

Surdak snapped the shackle in his hand, and the bowstring made a 'bang' sound, and the crossbow arrow made a burst of air in the air, turning into a phantom through the fleeing crowd, shooting through the demon's body, and sending him flying more than ten meters away, nailed to an erected pillar in the camp.

The bed crossbow on the side of the second squad worked in one blow, and the morale of the other fighters who dismantled the tarpaulin on the bed crossbow was high.

Mondstadt. Count Goss, with a group of followers, quickly gathered a group of hoplites, leaned against the pile of armor on this side of the camp, and redeployed a line of defense, trying to hold back the group of demons that rushed into the barracks.

Follow in Mondstadt. The captains around Goss unleashed their 'momentum' one after another, and these phantoms of 'momentum' were like bright banners on the battlefield, attracting the attention of some evil spirits......

At the same time, the neighing of war horses came from the central area of the barracks.

A group of costumed knights riding black-scaled horses appeared in front of the barracks tent, holding black shields and holding up knights' spears in their hands, and their movements were in unison......
