792. Battle of the town of Plantos 2
Scorching sun in the afternoon
The water vapor was steaming from the grassland, making the distant scenery twist and turn, and some wild grasses with ears of seeds swayed back and forth with the breeze.
A swarm of grasshoppers flew out of the grass and swept away into the distance.
Compared to foods such as grass seeds and roots, these locusts are simply incomparably delicious in the eyes of the ghost striped soldier ants.
The grass was full of red traces, and the two small hill-like thunder rhinos in the Surdak army were very eye-catching, and they also attracted the peeps of many ghost-patterned red ants, but they basically didn't have a chance to get close, and they were smashed by a whirlwind of cavalry with the flail in their hands.
Like a pack of hungry wolves, these ghostly soldiers crouched in the grass when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, spitting acid at their horses.
At the same time, he opened his sharp pincers, and his body rushed up desperately, pounced on the war horse and tore it wantonly.
Andrew led a group of heavy cavalry at the outskirts of the ranks, and even the horses were heavily armed, and the flails in the hands of the cavalry were designed to break the heads of the red ants as soon as possible, so that they would not vomit acid everywhere.
Fifty first-turn veterans were like tireless machines, constantly rushing back and forth on the outskirts of the army.
They did not spare their physical strength, and they didn't care about the life or death of the war horses, when cleaning up these red ants, some people even stood on the platform of the thunder rhinoceros and took out the parchment account book to count the number of ghost pattern worker ants killed.
These ghost-patterned worker ants can only peel off some flesh, but their bodies are almost worthless.
In order to encourage veterans to clean up worker ants, Surdak can earn a little merit for each ghost striped worker ant killed, and these merit points are almost all subsidized by Surdak from the soldier ants.
All the veterans hoped that they would be able to hunt the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants, and they felt that killing worker ants was the job of ordinary cavalrymen.
Of course, the Ghost Striped Ant is not that easy to kill.
Even in the wilderness, in this steppe terrain that was most favorable for cavalry.
These veteran soldiers want to kill the soldier ants, without using the 'potential', the most labor-saving way is generally to charge fifty meters away, these soldiers are not very good at jumping, as long as the knight's spear can stab the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant, it can basically hit the ghost pattern soldier ant hard.
However, if the knight's spear is pierced in the air, or is caught by the tentacles of the ghost soldier ant, then the veteran in the back must replenish the knife in time, otherwise the veteran in front may be injured.
The heads of the ghost-patterned soldier ants were cut off by the veteran with a knight's sword, thrown into a sack, and when filled, they were thrown onto the shelves of the Thunder Rhinoceros.
The corpses of the soldier ants that could be exchanged for money were discarded on the grass at will, and they could not be taken away at all.
Andrew was a madman when he arrived on the battlefield, and every time he was the first to rush towards the ghost pattern red ants, he relied on the butcher axe with the bleeding attribute in his hand, even if he met the ghost pattern soldier ants, he was almost hacked to death with an axe.
His way of fighting, which would rather take some injuries than kill the enemy, was very bloody.
Usually a wave of charges would be covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell how much of these pale red blood stains belonged to him.
Let Intas and Hampton be a little dumbfounded, and only then did they see Surdak's strength: this native's subordinate was purely relying on the commander to use a hand of 'holy light magic', relying on the 'shield of the earth' on his body to reload the magic pattern structure, and relying on the war horse under him to have more physical strength than the black-scaled horse, he was wanton on the battlefield!
It's just that his unreasonable fighting style can best ignite the morale of all cavalry on the battlefield.
Don't these heavy cavalry know how to be tired?
Those war horses are too exaggerated!
Even the black-scaled war horse can't run so tirelessly!
A group of cavalry was in this situation, facing a large number of ghostly red ants running out from the direction of the town of Plantos.
Surdak, Gallatin, and Intas were at the front of the line.
Occasionally, a giant ghost-striped soldier ant is caught in the colony.
Seeing this kind of big guy rushing up, the two commanders of Intas and Hampton both had a little scalp tingling, and the giant thick armor was simply the biggest nemesis of the cavalry, but the speed of these giant ghost pattern soldiers was not slow, and their bodies were extremely flexible, every time they killed such a giant ghost pattern soldier ants, there would be cavalry injuries.
Intars slammed his whip on the horse's thigh, standing out from the front of the line and charging towards the giant ghost-striped ant.
A group of cronies and guards behind him were worried that Intarss would make a mistake, so they hurriedly rode their horses to follow.
Unexpectedly, the veterans of the independent cavalry battalion almost became extremely excited, and the fighting mood was unprecedentedly high, they simply felt that Intas was robbing them of this giant ghost pattern soldier ant, and more than ten veterans launched a charge against this giant ghost pattern soldier ant at the same time.
Everyone brought up the speed of the war horses, obviously in terms of explosive power, these demon pattern war horses are also ordinary war horses that have completely defeated other cavalry battalions.
Seeing that the veteran who rushed to the front had already bowed down, his arm clamped the grip of the knight's spear, and the tip of the spear was aimed at the mouthparts of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant......
A giant crossbow arrow with the 'armor-piercing' attribute flew out, and the shaft of the arrow was surrounded by a circle of wind attributes, and the wind came first.
Before the cavalry could strike, he shot through the head of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant with precision.
The three-meter-long arrow shaft directly nailed the giant ghost pattern soldier ant back into the soil of the grass, and the giant ghost pattern soldier ant's body couldn't stop its inertia and folded it in half in the air.
The cavalry who rushed to the front and held a spear could only let out an unwilling roar, and pierced the spear in his hand into the body of the ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ant who followed behind.
I didn't dare to scold in my mouth, after all, occasionally on the battlefield, my life was saved by a steel arrow.
But in my heart MMP! The recent exploits of the captain of this archer army can be bought for himself a set of magic pattern constructions!
After dealing with this batch of ghost-patterned red ants, a group of cavalry hurriedly cut off the six legs of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, and then cut off the huge head......
The captain, dressed in red salamander leather armor, stepped on the arrow groove of the bed crossbow with one foot and looked out at the battle in the distance.
Obviously putting on a cold and arrogant look that he doesn't like to deal with, this cavalryman still has to squeeze out a flattering smile, he really can't afford to offend!
The crossbowmen of the city defense on the platform hurriedly retrieved the spoils with slings and loaded them into Samira's exclusive shelves.
Without the two-headed ogre who likes to smash his head, the cavalry battalion finally has some order on the battlefield, but the eagerness of these cavalrymen to kill the ghost-patterned red ants still made the other two commanders a little shocked, and rode to Surdak's side, and asked curiously: "Baron Surdak, has the fighting mood of this group of cavalry always been so strong?" How do you encourage them? ”
"Every time I fight, I have people record their exploits, which can be exchanged for gold coins and some weapons and equipment, magic materials, etc., isn't this what our cavalry battalion is?" Surdak said as he rode his horse.
Bypassing the corpse of that giant ghost-patterned soldier ant, it can't be skinned, so it can only be discarded here for the time being, which is really a pity!
"yes, it's all the same! We will also count the merits, and whoever performs well during this time will have a chance to get promoted, win the battle, and have some material rewards! Commander Intas said.
Of course, the other cavalry battalions had similar military records, but they were not as rich as the prizes on the Surdak merit exchange list......
As the team got closer and closer to the town of Plantos, the oncoming ghost-patterned red ants also turned from waves to a steady stream, and even the ghost-patterned soldiers scattered around began to gather towards the cavalry team of Surdak.
The battle became more intense.
A group of veterans in the Surdak cavalry battalion dismounted one after another, holding tower shields, forming a shield wall on the perimeter of the team, and slowly moving forward......
The speed of the march became slower and slower, and the cavalry led by Andrew charged through the colony, unable to pick up the speed for a while.
