88. War is a double-edged sword
"Raise the Shield ......"
I don't know who roared such a sentence in the chaotic night, and the voice was majestic and high-pitched.
As if they had found their backbone, the hoplite warriors stopped one after another, turned to face the demon and raised their shields.
The demons chasing after them rushed forward, and the infantry warriors fell like wheat harvested.
"Construct the knight, the demon camp ahead, attack!"
The majestic voice seemed a little annoyed, and there was some impetuousness in the voice.
The pair of knights in costume who were guarding the tent in front of the barracks raised their knights' spears, and the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
The hoplite warriors retreated to the flanks, clearing a large area of the battlefield in front of the camp.
The demons chased after the infantry soldiers, and a puff of arrows fell from the air, separating the battlefield with unmistakable precision, and some of the demons tried to rush towards the rain of arrows, but were shot through the body by several giant crossbow arrows, and nailed firmly to the ground.
The infantry warriors mastered seven bed crossbows at this time, and after the giant crossbow arrows were shot, there was an immediate sound of the impact of the winch chains, and the bowstrings on those bed crossbows were pulled apart by the warriors again, and the arrow slots were reloaded with giant crossbow arrows, and in the sound of iron bars, they were aimed at the evil spirits in the camp again......
The auras lit up under the feet of the knights' horses, and the magic patterns on the knights' bodies also exuded a faint magical aura, and they rushed towards the demon camp and strangled with the demons.
In terms of strength, the Constructed Knight is slightly inferior to the Devil, but the Constructed Knight can use the Warhorse to speed up the charge, relying on speed to increase strength.
The knights and the demons collided fiercely, and suddenly several knights' spears broke from them, and the knights' bodies burst into colorful magical halos, and the bodies of the demons were also filled with a faint black mist, and the two sides strangled together, and immediately became the focus of the battlefield.
The knight's spear was only a long weapon that could be used during the initial charge, and when the two sides began hand-to-hand combat, the knightly knights would abandon the knightly spears, draw their swords at their waists, and slam into the arms of the demons with delicate knightly shields.
The demons will not give the Constructed Knights a chance to kill their faction, because then the Devil will withstand the second round of the Constructed Knights' charge, and no one can repeatedly resist the Constructed Knights' charges, not even the demons in the Hell.
Dozens of knights, holding knightly light shields, leaped high from their horses and swung their shields in the face of the demons.
In this kind of battlefield of iron and blood, every hard-hitting collision seems to have infinite charm, which makes countless constructed warriors flock to it, and they would rather give up some fancy combat skills than show their momentum.
Hundreds of Constructed Knights unleashed their 'momentum', and phantom shadows stood behind the Constructed Knights, and the momentum on their bodies suddenly rose to another height.
The knights in costume blocked the demons from the front, and the soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment in the barracks began to regroup into a phalanx, and the longbowmen in the corps gathered behind the phalanx, and the iron arrows were attached to the longbows, and the tips of the arrows pointed diagonally to the battlefield a hundred meters away.
The heavy cavalry also found an open place to regroup, and these heavy cavalry lined up together, and then pulled away from the frontal battlefield at a certain distance, so that they had some deterrent power on the battlefield.
The 4th Brigade of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment was assembled near the ordnance pile, and he saw Baron Sidney holding a double-edged broadsword in his hand, standing on a bed crossbow, and directing his heavy infantry soldiers to aim more than a dozen bed crossbows at the gap where the barracks were destroyed by evil spirits.
In this night attack on the camp, the excellent cohesion of the 4th Brigade of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment was obvious to all, and even in the process of the rout of the Heavy Infantry Regiment, Baron Sidney was still able to organize an effective resistance, and the details of these battles naturally fell into the eyes of some big people in the barracks.
The second squad controlled a bed crossbow, and Surdak stood in the position of the main marksman, his expression focused on the demons on the battlefield ahead.
After the longbow archer phalanx was tested and calibrated, it finally began to shoot a rain of arrows at the demons, cooperating with the knights on the field to strangle the hundreds of demons on the field, and the demons continued to fall, and the demons saw that the general trend had gone, so they began to gather together to rush left and right to prepare for a breakthrough.
At this time, the heavy cavalry was assembled and blocked the gap in the camp that was knocked out by the demons.
The commander of the demon side was also very decisive, and he decisively divided half of his forces to entangle the knights, leaving less than a hundred demons to storm the gap in the barracks with a rain of arrows overhead, ready to scatter the heavy cavalry blocking the gap at all costs.
As soon as the demons approached the gap in the camp's wooden fence, more than a dozen giant crossbow arrows flew in, accompanied by a sonic boom, the giant crossbow arrows pierced the bodies of several demon warriors, and at the same time, the heavy cavalry blocking the gap charged towards the demons who were preparing to break through.
The scales of victory began to tilt on the side of the imperial army......
On the other side of the mountain, there was a touch of fish belly white.
At dawn, the last demon fell less than fifty meters outside the camp, and he was only a few steps away from rushing into the dense forest, with a dense array of fine iron feathered arrows stuck in his back.
It's just that the fatal wound on its body is a bloody hole with a thick bowl mouth that was stabbed out by a knight's spear.
An auxiliary soldier carried an axe, ran quickly in front of the corpse of the demon, ignoring the fact that the demon's body was still twitching, waved the bone cutting axe in his hand, skillfully cut off the head of the demon, and marked the forehead of the demon's head.
The Constructed Knights had already begun to collect their ranks, the camp was in shambles, the hoplites had already sent some of the wounded to the aid station in the camp, and the corpses in the camp had to be disposed of, and the hoplites who had died in battle would be registered one by one, and their personal belongings and pensions would be mailed to their hometowns.
Everything in the barracks began to become orderly, and the top brass of the various teams began to count the gains and losses of the battle.
The heaviest casualties were naturally the 58th Heavy Infantry Regiment, and at least 500 soldiers of the 58th Heavy Infantry Regiment fell in the camp during the demon attack camp.
Mondstadt. Count Goss, mingling in the middle of the upper echelons of the barracks, began to inspect the losses of the regiments, and when he arrived at the fifty-seventh heavy infantry regiment, Mondstadt . Goss stepped out of the crowd and came to Baron Sidney, and helped him straighten his bow tie with his own hands, although he did not speak, but the approving look in his eyes was self-evident.
This time, the 4th Brigade of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment performed well, and everyone saw it.
The hoplite soldiers of the 4th Brigade operated a total of eleven bed crossbows, and made a great contribution to stopping the demons from escaping.
The demons on Moyun Ridge probably didn't want the Bena Legion to camp at the foot of the mountain too easily, so they launched a night raid.
As soon as the two sides fought, they paid huge losses. Two hundred demon warriors were lost during the night, and at least seven hundred soldiers from the Pena Legion expeditionary force were killed here, and the camp was severely damaged, but fortunately the supplies did not suffer much damage......
