1542. Battle of the Highlands 12
Marquis Heller and his guards rode until dawn, and the night on the Moyunling Plateau was extremely cold, and a group of knights shivered with cold on their horses.
It wasn't until there was a light in the sky, and the knights stepped on the mossy field and stopped, which was so vast that they could see several kilometers away at a glance, and saw that there were no evil spirits around, and there were no pursuers from the Egrod tribe behind him, that the Marquis of Heller took the reins of his horse, raised his hand, and motioned for the knights to stop and rest.
Marquis of Heller was certain that this Agrod tribal alliance army was inextricably linked to Surdak.
When I first entered the Egrod camp, I felt that the behavior of the indigenous people of those tribes was a little strange, but now that I think about it, I feel that this trip is really dangerous.
The Marquis of Heller felt that he was really shrewd.
If I hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in the Egrod camp by this time.
However, this time I couldn't find reinforcements, and if I returned to the camp, I would have to continue to fight the demon warriors......
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Heller felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.
……
At the foot of the mountains at the northern foot of Moyun Ridge, an Egrod coalition army marched along the gravel road at the edge of the mountain towards Mount Horsens in the western part of Moyun Ridge.
The total strength of the western expeditionary force of the Egrod tribe reached 50,000 men, and this army set out from the camp in the North Pass and headed westward, because all of them were heavy infantry and had to carry a certain amount of supplies, so it walked very slowly.
Following Surdak's instructions, they needed to reach the west side of the North Sunderland Ranges.
This army walked for eight days, and only traveled less than 200 kilometers, and had just reached the northwest corner of the Moyunling Heights.
The leader of this Western Expeditionary Army was Sammoth, the patriarch of the Lilqua tribe of the Aigrod Clan, and eleven tribal chiefs set off with this Western Expeditionary Army.
According to the arrangement of the Grand Patriarch Logan, the army will bypass the source of the Alinge River and then head south along the foothills of the West Road.
Since the Egrod tribe did not have enough horses, the supply of supplies to the legion was the biggest problem they were currently facing.
All the Aboriginal warriors had brought ten days' marching rations before leaving, and they now had only two days' rations left.
The demons had already scavenged all the edible food on the Moyunling Heights.
The soldiers could not find some wild vegetables and berries to satisfy their hunger as they did in the jungle at the foot of the mountain, so they could only wait for the supply team behind them to arrive in time.
This is the upper reaches of the Alinge River, and some ghost scouts can already be seen around it.
Obviously, they had already discovered this western expeditionary force of the Aigrod tribe, but because of the large number of warriors in this army, they only dared to wait and see......
The Indigenous warriors of the Egrod tribe also knew that evil spirits were around, and they had sent the scout team out.
Now there is no shortage of sacrifices in the tribe, and these aboriginal warriors sent out have received the blessings of the gods, and they have the strength to fight when they encounter demon warriors alone in the wilderness.
As usual, the large army was stationed in the meadows by the Alinge River.
Make a fire in the meadow by the river, boil water, boil the marching rations into porridge, and collect some wild vegetables from the surrounding meadows and put them in.
In the eyes of the heavy infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army, this kind of marching ration may be a difficult food to swallow, and every infantry soldier likes to complain a few words about this marching ration, but in the eyes of these aboriginal warriors, it is a rare delicacy.
"Patriarch Tsunmos, the information sent back by the scouts who reconnoitred at the source of the Alinge River shows that there are traces of the activities of a large number of demon warriors near the river, but the specific location of this demon army has not yet been determined." An Aboriginal warrior walked up to the Chieftain of Sammos and whispered.
The strong man with the Menghu totem on his face was the patriarch of the Lilkwe tribe, and he sat naked by the campfire wearing only a pair of heavy pants.
"Got it, be sure to be on guard at night, and you may have to stay here for a while in the next few days." Patriarch Thommos said to several patriarchs of the other tribes around him.
"You're worried that the demons will attack us?" A patriarch asked.
Patriarch Tsunmos narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Not only that, but I'm also worried that the Demon Legion will cut off our supply lines if they find out where we are. ”
The patriarchs sitting around the campfire became nervous, after all, this was the first time that the Aigerod tribe had sent troops to fight against the demons on the heights of Moyunling.
Until then, everyone was prey in the eyes of evil spirits.
Now that the situation is reversed, it is absolutely impossible to say that you are not nervous.
All the aborigines of this Western Expeditionary Army have experienced the Battle of Beishan Pass, and in the face of evil ghosts, this group of aboriginal warriors has both apprehension and some expectations in their hearts.
Dressed in heavy armor and weapons, the aboriginal warriors were eager to test their current strength with a field battle.
……
The first rays of sunlight after dawn shone into the riverside camp, and the low roars of the demons rang out across the Aringe......
The water level of this section of the river was not deep, and an army of demons numbering at least 8,000 demons suddenly appeared on the opposite bank, and under the order of the demon general, rows of demon warriors jumped into the waist-deep icy water, and strode towards the camp of the Egrod tribe on the opposite bank.
When the demons attacked, the aboriginal warriors in the camp here were also prepared, and rows of aboriginal warriors were waiting on the shore.
Just as the demons blew their horns to attack, the light of sacrifice appeared in the camp of Egrod.
The Agrodes army stationed by the river couldn't run even if they wanted to, after all, they ran much slower than the demons.
You can only form a shield wall on the river bank to resist the charge of the demon warriors.
Obviously, the aboriginal warriors with the full overlay heavy armor are extremely strong in combat, and they may not be as strong as the demon warriors, but these aboriginal warriors trust each other, and if one iris shield is raised to stop the demon warriors' slash, there will be a second shield, and the third shield will be raised one after another.
The Aboriginal warriors in the back will push their shoulders against their companions in front of them, and will use the right time to stab their spears out.
Their line of defense was like a wall built along the banks of a river.
The Indigenous warriors had three great witches in their camp, and as they continued to sacrifice 'sacrifices', more Native warriors were blessed and joined the battle.
The twelve patriarchs were also the first to appear on the battlefield, the most conspicuous being the Patriarch of Sammos, because he was also wearing a set of demonic armor, and the warriors of the Agrod tribe preferred to fight with war spears.
The Patriarch of Thornmos also held a black iron spear in his hand, and he stood in front of a demon general.
He was joined by several other patriarchs.
The demon general had a layer of black flame burning on his body, and he tried to break through an area in the meadow by the river so that more demon warriors could land on the shore.
It's just that he was targeted by the Sanmos patriarch as soon as he jumped ashore, and now he was embarrassed to be surrounded by several patriarchs, while the demon warriors behind him were blocked in the river by the aboriginal warriors, and only a few evil ghosts squeezed onto the grass on the shore.
In the midst of shouts and killings, one by one, the demon warriors were covered in blood holes and fell on their backs in the icy water of the turbulent river.
Some of the Aboriginal warriors at the front with shields were also bruised by bone spurs, lying on the blood-stained grass by the river.
The waters of the Alinge River have turned purple......
The Aboriginal warriors had finally learned that these demon warriors were neither as vulnerable as they had been in the Battle of the North Pass, nor as invulnerable as they had been seen in the dense forests of the northern mountains, and that the heavily armed Aboriginal warriors had found a way to deal with them.
People are constantly falling on this battlefield.
The demons were determined to fight, and there were many corpses of demon warriors floating in the river, and the demons who rushed up from behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed to the death.
The aboriginal warriors by the river have been forced back by the demon warriors for more than ten meters, and there is a battlefield full of corpses lying on the riverside.
The demons rushed to the grass on the shore, and their morale was immediately high, and they became even more fierce when they rushed forward.
The retreating Aboriginal warriors of Aigrod gradually became tired of dealing with the repeated attacks of the demon warriors, and for a while, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse.
There were even some demons crouching on the battlefield, tearing at the corpses of the indigenous warriors with their hands and beginning to eat their flesh and blood.
And although the Patriarch of Thornmos had already killed the demon general all over his body, as the demon warriors rushed to the shore, there were constantly demon warriors joining the battle here, and the demon general who was covered in bruises unexpectedly burst out with new combat power again, and the blade in his hand picked seven tribal patriarchs in a row.
The change of victory and defeat on the battlefield seems to be in this instant.
Many of the Aboriginal warriors saw their tribe's patriarch lying in a pool of blood, and they wanted to rush to this side of the battlefield.
The original formation immediately showed a loophole, and the demon warriors rushed towards the camp of the Egrod tribe along the gap, and it was impossible for the aboriginal warriors behind to stop them.
However, all the shield warriors ran to the forefront of the battlefield, and almost all the aboriginal warriors in the camp fought with evil spirits with war spears.
For a while, the number of dead and wounded of the aboriginal warriors began to surge, and the demon warriors approached the altar set up by the great witches in the camp for a while.
Just as the situation of the Agrodi tribe's army was becoming dangerous, a group of cavalry appeared on the meadow north of the banks of the Alinge River, all of them riding black-horned elk, and the female warrior of the aborigines who ran at the front was Delia, who had arrived from the North Pass.
The magic pattern mana light on her body continued to flow, and the black-horned elk under her suddenly accelerated, and rushed into the battlefield by the river with an afterimage behind her.
