1006. The Burning Scarecrow

March 20th

The 1234th Heavy Infantry Regiment simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the barracks station.

The nearly 3,000 lord troops were stationed in the barracks between the towns of Takkale and Hatangada on the Gamphu plane, and they never imagined that the heavy infantry regiment on the opposite side would attack the camp under the nose of their own heavy cavalry regiment.

The barracks were stationed before the heavy infantry regiment on the opposite side formed an encirclement, and the fast horses responsible for reporting the news were sent out to camp.

Although there were several magicians in the sky who were in charge of intercepting them, the messengers who delivered the message still delivered the news to the town of Hatangada.

The Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Second Legion, which was stationed outside the town of Hatangada, immediately dispatched its whole body, and the majestic blue-scaled horses carrying the heavily armed knights marched majestically towards the barracks station.

The heavy cavalry lined up in four columns along the avenue, but none of the iron cavalry made a rapid march, and they kept trotting all the way.

The horse's hooves trampled on the rammed loess avenue, and the rumbling sound could be heard for miles.

……

On the side of the barracks station, Nedmosby led the heavily armored infantry to form a shield wall, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, he slowly rushed to the gate of the station.

Countless arrows fell, some of which hit the heavy infantry behind them along the gaps in the shield, but these heavy infantry were also covered with a layer of full armor, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate at all.

Four bed crossbows were set up on the arrow towers in the barracks, and the huge crossbow arrows were accompanied by a buzzing sound, and as the huge crossbow arrows were fired from the arrow towers, the heavy infantry regiment began to suffer casualties.

A giant crossbow arrow flew out of the arrow tower, first shooting the iris shield in the hands of the shield warriors in the front row of the heavy infantry regiment, and the huge force made the giant crossbow arrow pass through the iris shield, and the sharp tip of the spear passed through the chest of the heavy infantry soldier, and the infantry soldier fell backwards.

Immediately, there was a gap in the military formation, and the infantry soldiers with huge crossbow arrows in their chests fell one after another.

Nedmosby gritted his teeth and shouted hoarsely, "Fill in...... Raise your shield! ”

Archmage Harper, who was standing at the back of the whole team, immediately summoned a few magicians, and everyone flew into the air on the magic handles.

High in the sky, Archmage Harper took out a fire-based magic scroll from his bosom, and he tugged at the magician's hat on his head and shouted:

"Prepare to burst the Flame Scroll!"

Then he swooped down from a high altitude towards the barracks, the magic handle even kept circling, and at the critical point of the casting distance, he ripped open the burst flame scroll, the spell and the magic pattern circle appeared at the same time, and it was completed in an instant, a large fireball rolled towards the arrow tower and smashed down, and Harper Archmage pulled the helm of the magic handle hard.

The magic rod flew back into the air.

The big fireball was wrapped in endless flames and rolled and smashed on the arrow tower, with a banging explosion, the entire roof of the arrow tower exploded, a fire burned on the arrow tower, and the bed crossbow operator standing around the bed crossbow was affected by the explosion, and two people were directly blown out of the arrow tower, and the rest of the controllers fell on the arrow tower.

As for the bed crossbow, it quickly burned, and it was not long before it was engulfed in flames.

The other three arrow towers were also destroyed by the burst flames, and the four bed crossbows suddenly fell silent, and the soldiers of the lord army hiding in the garrison camp suddenly let out a desperate curse.

The archers hid in the log walls of the barracks and fired a rain of arrows, but these ordinary arrows were not much of a threat to the hoplites.

The hoplite regiments were almost outside the gates of the barracks.

Archmage Harper returned to a chariot and walked forty yards in front of the main gate under the protection of two rows of shield warriors......

As the jerky and lengthy incantation sounded, a demonic circle appeared under the feet of Archmage Harper, and a fire elemental appeared behind him at the same time, this fire elemental was wrapped in countless flames, and it poured these fire powers into Archmage Harper's body.

Archmage Harper's eyes turned red, and a huge magic circle rushed into the sky with the sound of incantations.

A small cloud of fire suddenly gathered in the originally dark red sky, and countless magic runes appeared on the body of that fire elemental, but at this moment it returned to the elemental world.

The clouds of fire in the sky gathered violently, and then countless blazing flames tumbled and surged here......

Huge meteorite fireballs tumbled and fell from the sky, and the soldiers of the lord army hiding in the barracks retreated.

A huge fireball meteorite fell from the sky, smashing the thick wooden door of the barracks to pieces.

Rows of hoplites rushed in through the main entrance of the barracks and fought with the soldiers of the barracks.

The march to capture the camp was slow, and Nedmosby was steady, and the wounded soldiers on the battlefield were carried to the back of the battlefield and specially helped them with their wounds.

Subsequently, the other two gates of the barracks were also breached.

At this moment, Nedmosby's ears still echoed Surdak's words to him: 'Attack at a slower pace, and give the soldiers in the garrison ......some time.'

……

Surdak was standing on a hill at the moment, and the eight thousand heavily armored infantry were also hiding on the slopes between the valleys.

From a distance, I saw a large area of the heavy cavalry regiment pressed by the black, rushing from the avenue towards the side of the barracks.

They were well-armed, almost from head to toe wrapped in thick black heavy armor, the horses also wore iron masks on their heads, their long necks with scaly neck armor, and around the horses' bodies were four pieces of armor, and even the four legs of the horses were covered with hard leather armor to prevent the enemy from cutting off the horses' legs.

Lord MacDonnell actually raised nearly twenty heavy cavalry on the Ganbu plane, which can be said to exceed the vast majority of noble lords in Bena Province in terms of the number of heavy cavalry.

It's no wonder that Lord MacDonnell once wanted to control the entire Tarapakan region.

With this army alone, he really suppressed all the noble lords in the Tarapakant region.

So many green-scaled horses don't know where he bought them from.

The horses did not run very fast, and when they entered the valley woodland, the tripwire in the woodland did not serve any purpose at all.

They stopped at the entrance to the valley and seemed to spot the hoplites in ambush in the woods on the hillside, but instead of attacking the hoplites in the valley woodland, they ignored their presence and passed directly on the mountain road in front of them......

The valley slopes are so dense with jungle that there is no way to lay out rolling stones.

When they continued to walk into the canyon, the heavy cavalry suddenly found that there were straw men wearing tattered clothes and holding scythes on both sides of the road along the way, and the pumpkins had that weird smile on their heads, which made people feel a little scary.

The commander of the heavy cavalry led by the regiment rushed forward with the reins of his horse, swung the heavy sword in his hand, and slashed at the scarecrow.

A knife slashed through, and the straw man broke off from it.

There seemed to be nothing but dead grass in it.

"Why are there so many straw men on the road?" The commander of the heavy cavalry asked the guards behind him.

"I didn't ...... when I passed by here the other day," the guard replied.

The commander of the heavy cavalry was a little uneasy, and walked forward another ten meters, cutting down the next scarecrow, and still found nothing unusual.

"What the hell are they trying to do?" The cavalry squadron leader behind him couldn't help but ask in his heart.

The commander of the heavy cavalry continued on his way, slashing down all the scarecrows he encountered along the way.

The commander of the heavy cavalry said: "Leave him alone, our mission is to support the barracks and tell the knights to maintain their strength before the battle. ”

The large forces of the heavy cavalry regiment continued to advance along the avenue.

The commander of the heavy cavalry regiment looked back at the hillside on the left and said to a heavy cavalry squadron leader: "You stay, keep an eye on those people on the hillside, if they dare to come down, they will rush to death directly!" ”

"Got it." The squadron leader took the order, pulled his team out and parked on the side of the road, carefully guarding the group of soldiers on the top of the hillside.

The heavy cavalry in front noticed the figure of a magician in the sky.

"What about those magicians in the sky?" The guard asked with some concern.

The heavy cavalry regiment pulled down the mask on his face and said as he continued to walk forward: "Ignore them first, if they dare to lean over, let the archers shoot them!" ”

……

Archmage Morrison led a group of magicians to ride the magic handlebars in the sky, watching the heavy cavalry pass by on the narrow valley avenue, they lined up in a neat line, ignoring the heavy infantry in ambush on the hillside, and did not care about the group of magicians, including himself.

It was seen that the cavalry force had fully entered the two-kilometer-long valley road.

The hillside also sent out an attacking magic flare, and Archmage Morrison waved his hand at the group of magicians who followed behind him.

These magicians manipulated the magic handles to speed up violently...... Scattered from the left and right sides of Archmage Morrison's body.

Every mage has a fixed target on the battlefield, they don't even need to use magic scrolls, these mages are the elite of the magic union, and almost all of them can do fireball magic instantaneously, so everyone has a hunting fireball in their palm,

They swooped down, dropping the fireball at the farthest distance, and instead of throwing it at the knights on the avenue, it was thrown at the scarecrows on the side of the avenue.

Arrows that were not too dense flew towards them, and although they had lost any strength when they reached the highest point in the air, the cautious magicians still held themselves up with magic shields.

The armor on the heavy cavalry was not afraid of such powerful small fireballs, not to mention that each of them also held knightly light shields in their hands, and these light shields were engraved with magic runes, with a certain amount of magical resistance.

The fireball ignited a tall straw man on the side of the road, and at first, no one in the knights cared.

Let them burn as they please, and many scarecrows were broken into two pieces, and the straw on their bodies was very dry, and the wooden poles that supported them seemed to be coated with grease, and they burned violently when they encountered fire.

Then I heard a 'bang' sound from the wooden pole, a strange sound like the flickering of flames in a blacksmith's furnace......
