1536. Battle of the Highlands 6
The battle between the reinforcements and the demons in Handanar continued, and the demons insisted on attacking the camp where the reinforcements were stationed only during the day, and when dusk, the demons would retreat very simply, without delaying for a moment.
This made the reinforcements who were sticking to the tundra in the northern Sunderland Mountains a little confused, and they felt that this group of demon warriors seemed to be afraid of the dark.
In the northern tundra, nearly 10,000 demon warriors confronted the reinforcements of Handanar City.
At night, the reinforcements would take the opportunity to rebuild the earthen wall, as well as clear the trenches beneath the earthen wall.
During the day, the shield warriors of the heavy infantry regiment would stand at the front of the army formation, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the demon warriors, although nearly a thousand heavy infantry soldiers were killed every day, but the situation of the reinforcements and the demons showed no signs of turning.
The two sides were at a stalemate on this dirt slope for several days, and the reinforcements continued to suffer casualties for several days, which demoralized the infantry soldiers in the legion......
Many heavy infantry regiments are brave enough to go to the battlefield, and although they can harvest some loot every day, the laughter and laughter of a few days ago have long been lost in the barracks.
A platoon of wounded soldiers sat in front of their tents basking in the sun, and in addition to worrying about the current situation of the war, there seemed to be a sense of relief on their faces.
However, the heavy infantry regiments that had not yet taken their turn to go to the battlefield became a little lifeless, and practiced their formations on the grass behind the camp in advance.
And those shield warriors were eager to turn their heavy armor into canned luncheon meat, and put a layer of tight leather armor under the full armor, and an additional layer of armor on their helmets, insisting that they were armed to the teeth.
In just a few days, Valentine. Marquis Heller's eyes were bloodshot, and after several days of fighting this demon army, the reinforcements had no chance to retreat from this battlefield.
The only way to get rid of these demon warriors right now is to hope for other reinforcements.
Thinking about it, I think it's ironic that my own army itself came as reinforcements from Handanar City, but now it is trapped on the battlefield in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains, and has to wait for other lords' armies to come and relieve the siege......
However, on this Moyunling Heights, there were no other armies at all except for Surdak's Western Route Army.
Looking at the red brazier in front of her, Valentine sitting in the chair with a back. Marquis Heller felt a disturbance in his heart, thinking that he still thought that the battle situation on Moyunling's side was too simple, and in order to occupy more territory, the reinforcements actually ran into danger without knowing it.
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Heller reached out and took the gold quill from a makeshift wooden table, dipped it in a little ink, and wrote a line on a piece of parchment, after which he rolled the parchment into a tube, tied it with rope, and then wrote another.
The previous letter was written by him to Count Surdak, and he didn't even dare to think about Surdak's expression when he saw it.
The second letter was addressed to the Marquis of Simon Jeffrey.
'I hope that after seeing this letter, the Marquis of Geoffrey will be able to lead the Constructed Swordsmen from the south as soon as possible." Marquis Heller sat down in his chair and thought to himself.
"Someone!"
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Send for these two letters, and give them to Simon. Marquis Jeffrey, this letter to Count Surdak of the Western Route Army, must be as soon as possible! ”
Marquis Heller's voice was a little hoarse.
He took a sip of water from his cup, only to find that there was only a little bitter tea residue left in the cup.
"Yes, sir!"
The adjutant who walked in from the outside immediately responded.
It wasn't long before two messengers quickly left the reinforcement camp on fast horses, and they rounded the battlefield in front of them and ran straight towards the North Sunderland Mountains.
At this time, the grassy slope battlefield was still shouting and killing......
……
When the Constructed Swordsmen passed through the easternmost point of the North Sunderland Ranges, Simon. The Marquis of Jeffrey saw another army of demons assembled and marching south.
With each swordsman having two horses, the swordsmen successfully escaped the pursuit of the demons, leaving the demons far behind in the hills.
By this time, he had already led the Constructed Swordsmen to the shore of the inner lake in the easternmost part of the North Sunderland Mountains, an area where there were many traces left by the adventure group's encampment, and the clear water of the lake rolled against the white waves crashing on the pebbles on the shore.
This large inner lake covers a large area and the water is crystal clear, like an immaculate sapphire set in the easternmost part of the North Sunderland Mountains.
It was the rainy season, and the water level of the lake continued to rise, and in some places it had spread to the meadows around the lake.
The Constructed Swordsmen Regiment was encamped on a high post on the shore, and the atmosphere inside the Legion was a little dreary.
In order to escape the pursuit of the demons, the constructed swordsmen went through a battle, and the result was a surprise to everyone, if it weren't for the high mobility of the constructed swordsmen, these constructed swordsmen would probably not be able to retreat from the pursuing demon warriors.
Just three days ago, they had just seen the battle of the Western Route Army's Assembled Knights, which was almost like a one-sided slaughter.
The knights in their armies were armed with knightly spears, and with each charge at a limit distance, they could pin a group of demons to the grass, and then let the cavalry sitting on the monsters cut off the heads of the demons.
Each charge of the Constructed Knights will smash the demon army into pieces.
But it was Simon's turn. Marquis Geoffrey's Constructed Swordsman Regiment faced a hunting group of less than a thousand demon warriors in the eastern part of the North Sunderland Mountains, and his constructed swordsman regiment not only failed to kill the group of demon warriors, but was even almost dragged to death by these demon warriors, and then surrounded and annihilated by a large number of evil ghosts who caught up from behind......
The disparity in power between the two constructed armies overwhelmed Simon. The last bit of pride in the heart of the Marquis Geoffrey.
It's not that he doesn't know how many constructed swordsmen have been secretly lost in the recent period, but what's the use of knowing, can he still personally lead people to chase those deserters back?
The lords of Handanaar have always refused Duke Newman's call-up order, and it is the noble lords who are pessimistic about the war between the Bednar Army and the Demon Legion, but the victory in the battle of Kornberg County has given rise to some new ideas in the hearts of these noble lords.
Finally these ideas can be put into action, and a reinforcement army is born to reinforce the Moyunling Heights.
But on the battlefield, Simon. The Marquis of Jeffrey only found out how big the gap was between the armies......
He couldn't take these constructed swordsmen out of the battlefield on the Moyunling Heights, and his current mission was to hold the boundary line in the southern part of the Vilagassi hills, but now he ...... The entire Villagassi Hills were torn apart by three demon legions, and his army of constructed swordsmen even had to hide on the shores of the Inner Lake.
There have been many Constructed Swordsmen who have made their displeasure with him clear in private, but that's not the worst of all.
In the morning, I received news from the reinforcement army, which made the current situation of Marquis Geoffrey even worse.
In fact, he hoped that the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment could be stationed in Neihu to restore their morale, but the reinforcements were currently fighting with the Demon Legion, and looking at the parchment in his hand, the messenger was still standing aside and looking at him.
The Marquis Geoffrey took a deep breath before setting aside the parchment scroll and saying to the messenger, "Pass my letter into the hands of the Marquis of Heller as soon as possible!" ”
He said that, but he didn't write yet......
After thinking for a long time, the Marquis Geoffrey prepared the wording before he began to write:
'Dear Valentine. Heller:
I hope that by the time I read this letter, the tide of battle on your side has gradually turned around.
After receiving your letter, I immediately assembled the swordsmen, abandoned the southern line of the Villagasi hills, and hurried towards the northern tundra, I know how cruel this war is, and I hope you will hold on a little longer! ’
There was only a faint spark left in the brazier, and a layer of silver frost covered the bottom of the basin. The Marquis Geoffrey picked up the teapot hanging from the brazier and poured himself a warm cup of black tea.
He stood up and cut off a piece of red ink with a silver knife, softened it in the brazier with the knife, and then rolled up the letter, glued it with ink, and handed it to the messenger.
Then he strode out of the tent, waved his hand at the group of officers of the Constructed Swordsmen who were already waiting outside the tent, and then said in a loud voice:
"Everyone, you must have heard that the main force of our infantry regiment is currently under attack by the demon army in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains, and the battle over there is fierce, and the Marquis of Heller hopes that our Constructed Swordsman Regiment can support the past as soon as possible and annihilate that group of demons as soon as possible......"
As he spoke, Marquis Jeffrey regretted that he really shouldn't have rejected Captain Andrew's proposal in the first place, if the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment and the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army were united at this moment, as long as they rushed to the northern tundra, it was estimated that the reinforcements would be able to rescue the reinforcements from the crisis.
And now, he had to take this army of less than 1,300 constructed swordsmen through the North Sunderland Mountains at once.
……
When the messenger of the reinforcements rode fast horses to the camp of the Western Route Army day and night, they happened to see thousands of demon warriors rushing towards the slope of Gaogang Mountain, climbing towards the wall that the Western Route Army had just built less than ten meters high.
The low roar of the demons filled the battlefield almost as far as ever.
On the side of the demon army, I am afraid that more than 30,000 demon warriors have been gathered, and these demon warriors are densely gathered in the hills of Viliaghassi.
Compared with the heavy armored infantry regiment of the reinforcements, the heavy armored infantry regiment on the side of the Western Route Army is much more disciplined when facing the demon warriors, and there is a ten-meter-high city wall under their feet, and the three-meter-high demon warriors still need to climb up if they want to rush up the city wall.
The hoplite gate at the head of the city stood in a row with Paglio's spear in his hand, stabbed the spear out in his hand almost at the same time, and then quickly gave way to the spear warrior behind him.
When the demon warriors rushed to the city, they almost always had at least two spears stuck in their bodies.
Then they would see the shield warriors hiding behind the battlements, and almost all the officers in the infantry regiment were standing at the front of the wall with swords and shields in hand......
Because Commander Surdak would also face this group of demon warriors on the city wall, a frenzied aura lit up under his feet and spread to the feet of the other hoplite soldiers, causing the feet of those infantry soldiers to gush with great power, and the angelic phantom that appeared behind him was like the most dazzling banner on the city wall.
As long as the infantry soldiers guarding the city wall saw the phantom of the angel, they knew that the Supreme Commander of the Western Route Army, Lord Count Surdak, was also fighting with everyone.
The golden shield in Surdak's hand is a nightmare for all demon warriors, no blade can pierce this shield, and some demon generals will climb up to the top of the city in the midst of the demon horde.
But no matter which section of the city wall, there will be a figure of a second-turn powerhouse every 100 meters.
Two-headed ogre Gulitham, half-elf archer Samira, heavy gunman Garry. Decker each guarded a section of the city wall, and among the other lords of the Western Route Army, there were several relatively low-key second-turn powerhouses, so naturally they all climbed the city wall at this time to fight against the demon generals who sneaked up.
This battle was fought with confidence, because as long as it dragged on until sunset, the demon warriors would retreat like a tide.
Even if the Western Route Army sent an infantry regiment out of the camp at dusk, the demon army on the opposite side would quickly retreat north from the hills of Villegasi, and they would retreat very decisively, without any hesitation, and resolutely not give the fog of war a chance to swallow up.
In the past two days, the demons have almost always attacked the barracks during the day.
Surdak only needs to hold on during the day, and the camp is safe here.
Fighting with the Western Route Army south of the Villagasi hills, the demons were a little helpless to find that the Western Route Army was still so fierce, and in two days, the Devil Army killed six demon generals one after another.
Except for the first day of the attack on the Western Route Army, the Demon Warriors gained a certain advantage.
For the rest of the day, the demon warriors were steadily pressed under the walls by the hoplites......
In fact, at this moment, there are still 30,000 aboriginal warriors of the Aigrod tribe in the Western Route Army, and there are two great witches in this tribe army.
On the first day, there were no fresh sacrifices on the side of the Western Route Army, and when the heads of the demons were cut off after the battle, the great witches here had plenty of sacrifices, anyway, the heads of these demons would slowly rot if they were thrown in the box, so it was better to sacrifice them, so that the infantry soldiers defending the city would have the blessing of the 'Divine Blessed Body'.
Surdak didn't need to do this kind of thing, and on the makeshift altar, the two great witches were blessing the blessings of the gods to the infantry soldiers waiting in line.
Therefore, the battle situation on the side of the Western Route Army seemed to be fierce, but in fact, the Western Route Army had an absolute advantage, and Surdak did not even use the cannon fodder corps of the ghost-patterned red ants hidden behind, and firmly held this unbuilt stronghold.
Of course, such a scene in front of them was extremely desperate in the eyes of the reinforcement messengers, because the Western Route Army was also attacked by the Demon Legion, which meant that they could not divide their forces to help the Marquis of Heller......
