Chapter 295: Unsuccessful Climate (I)
[Yesterday was the big chapter.] There will be no second watch in the future, I will say it in advance, and I will not let everyone wait]
The eleven sword masters were in a hurry and did not flee alone, but all rushed into this camp after Su.
After Sue followed Saleen, he spent his time on adventures. It wasn't until he returned to Metatrin that he saw the regular army of this world. Rex's army shocked him, and the camp of the Swordsman Battalion in Kushui County was as powerful as an iron bucket, and even he couldn't sneak in.
Su originally thought that all the armies on the Myers Continent were like this, but this thief's camp was commonplace. He rode in and kicked over two tents before the thieves reacted.
The thieves who rushed towards Su were not even wearing armor, but were holding short knives in their hands and swarmed up. Su pulled out his double swords, slashed left and right, and searched around with his eyes to see if there were any troublesome characters.
There were two round trips back and forth in this small camp, when Sue and eleven people almost completely destroyed the camp. Only then did I see a cavalry brigade coming from another camp. Su caught a glimpse of a white-robed mage in that cavalry brigade, and the mages who generally dared to follow the cavalry were all quite good.
Su no matter how noble he is a magician, since he followed the thief, he deserves to die. He took off the longbow behind his back, shouted to the soldiers behind him to retreat, and then took the feather arrow and went far away.
Sue's archery skills were originally practiced in the subcontinent plane, and after following Salin, I was fortunate enough to listen to Elenor's explanation a few times, and I improved again. At a distance of more than five hundred meters, his feathered arrows came in an instant, which exceeded the range of the steel crossbow.
The white-robed mage was on his horse, surrounded by thieves, and a feathered arrow shot down from the sky, and in a hurry, he only had time to hold up the invisible shield, and a ring in his hand shone with fire, and opened the ring of resistance fire.
The invisible shield naturally couldn't resist the feather arrow with the sword aura, and it broke with a snap. As soon as the feather arrow was deflected, the ring of resistance fire was already lit up. However, the principle of resisting the ring of fire is to burn the attacking feather arrows, and the physical defense ability is not too much different from the invisible shield.
Su's feather arrows were all refined by Salin himself, and although they were only low-level alchemy arrows, a ring of resistance to fire could not burn the arrows. The sharp cluster of feathered arrows brushed against the white-robed mage's neck, which happened to be the artery on the left side of his neck.
Blood spurted wildly, and the mage was terrified. A freezing technique was cast on his neck, condensing a large patch of dark red ice. Then the mage turned around and fled, clasping the horse's neck with both hands.
It's strange if he doesn't run, the enemy can break his two defensive magic with one arrow, and this mage knows what level of enemy he encounters no matter how stupid he is.
Su Jian frightened the white-robed mage, took out three more arrows, and went out with ****. These three feathered arrows each hit three thieves in fine armor, and these three guys were beautifully dressed, so they died the fastest.
Although the remaining thieves were well equipped, Su no longer had the heart to do it. He can't slaughter all the thieves alone, and the powerful ones among the thieves haven't appeared yet, so it's good for him to lead these people to catch up.
Sue is different from Zola, although he is young, he is far more calm than Zola. If Zola had come to lure the enemy, he would have to go to the enemy's main camp and humiliate a few people who looked unpleasant. However, despite Su's strength as a Silver Sword Master, he still honestly followed Sarin's words.
Because he knew very well that Salin wanted more than him, and if he was the only one who could fight, his soldiers would be ordinary. Then Salin's plan was hopeless.
Salin asked him to come, just to protect the eleven soldiers.
Shooting the three ringleader-like thieves, Su fled on horseback. Although his war horses are not of noble blood, they are also carefully selected, and their endurance and sprinting ability are excellent. Because the distance was still more than five hundred meters, and the enemy's bows and arrows could not help him, Su just left a chaotic camp and rode away with eleven sword masters.
The thieves in the back were furious, if they only took a camp to them, it would be fine, as long as they regrouped and set up defensive means, it would not affect the overall situation, but the guys who attacked the camp also burned five trebuchets.
These five trebuchets are gone, and it is difficult to re-purchase them, and if you build them yourself, it will take time, not to mention, and you will not be able to fire magic stone projectiles.
So the thieves hurriedly gathered their horses and chased them all the way.
The defenders of Side Star City were already desperate, and the enemy was outnumbered, and the military trebuchets were able to quickly break open the cracks in the walls. The defenders were already preparing to die in battle, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the city, and the army at the head of the city immediately discovered that the enemy's trebuchet had been set on fire.
Looking at the color and shape of the flame, experienced soldiers knew that it had been burned by magic fuel, and that it could not be repaired. The news spread, and the city was filled with cheers.
The city lord of Side Star City was a third-class viscount, and he had plans to commit suicide. This kind of change outside the city suddenly made him come to his senses. There is a lot of food in Side Star City, and as long as the city wall is not broken, it is not difficult to rely on the peasants who have gathered up to guard it. What's more, if the people outside the city attack the trebuchet, the thieves will inevitably have to divide their forces to deal with it, and he can deal with it if the siege force is less.
As long as you hold on for a few days, reinforcements will arrive from the Martian City. The thieves do not have logistical baggage, and will naturally retreat when the time comes.
That's what Salin wants, and if the defenders don't have morale, the city will be breached quickly. Don't look at the burning of just five trebuchets, for the people in the city, this is equivalent to a life-saving straw.
Outside of Side Star City, there is a large and well-defended camp, which is the camp of the leader of the thieves. In the big tent, a thief came in to report that the trebuchet had been burned, and the leader of the thieves was quite calm, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"
"I don't know, they also destroyed a camp, and the Black Dragon King's men went to chase it. ”
"Pursuit?" the leader of the thieves looked young, but cautious. He immediately said, "Call the Black Dragon King's people back!"
The light cavalry of the Black Dragon King had already chased far away, and the thieves behind did not have fast horses, so how could they call back. The young leader of the thieves immediately gave the order. Let the scattered thieves move closer to each other and rebuild the camp around his camp.
The soldiers in Side Star City have been observing the outside of the city, and when they discover these measures, the veterans are full of regrets. If there is a great mage in Side Star City, you can set it on fire. The thieves' camps are too dense and unprotected, making them the most vulnerable to attacks by magicians.
Fifty miles away, inside Sarin's camp, Shaman was pestering Sareen to talk. Salin is helpless, although this little girl is clingy. But her personality is not annoying, and her speech is measured, and Saleen can see that the fifth-level magician under her is obviously not very willing.
Shaman must have told him repeatedly, and although the fifth-level mage listened to Salin's order to stop the enemy, he still kept a straight face.
Sharman is very sensible, and Salin has no temper. If it was Elaine's case, Saleen might have murderous intentions.
Shaman took advantage of the mage's absence and said to Salin: "Brother Salin, don't pay attention to him, Xiaosi's temper is like this, but he listens to his sister very much." ”
Little Fourth?Salin felt a little awkward about this title, a fifth-level mage, wherever he put it, he would be honored as an adult. When Sharman said this, he obviously didn't treat people as great magicians.
"Hey, the Roland family has cultivated four great magicians, and he is the fourth. My sister came to Metatrin City, and only he was willing to follow, and the other three, all ...... Hum. ”
Salin smiled, "Understood. He thought to himself, it is estimated that this mage has taken a fancy to the ancient baron, so when the baron's future is uncertain, he is still willing to follow. Sharman initially said that he wanted to introduce her sister to him, so it was no wonder that the mage gave him a look on his face.
But this kind of dry vinegar is not necessary, I have a seat, how can I think about anything quaint.
"Brother Salin, are you sure this time? I estimate that the thieves will attack the city and increase the number of men. Shaman didn't dwell on the topic of Fang Cai, she was worried that her subordinates, the hundred people who went to ambush, were not high-speed cavalry. Once you miss, you may not be able to run back.
"Don't worry, with Su, your people won't be annoying. Salin comforted Shaman. In fact, he was not too worried about the safety of those servants, and a hundred steel crossbows were shot in ambush, and he ran away after shooting. And you don't have to fight in close quarters. If they fought in close quarters, the quality of those servants was far inferior to that of Shaman and Aini's own soldiers.
Things were similar to Salin's judgment, Su took eleven swordsmen to control the speed as much as possible, and ran for thirty miles until he was gradually caught up. The thieves who came after him were only more than 200 people, and the thieves behind had already fallen behind, and more than 200 cavalrymen fired arrows in the back and bit them to death.
Phoenix's official road can also accommodate two large cars to stagger around, the sides are not like planting trees in the city, the thieves chased too quickly, did not pay attention to the road in front of the road is a sparse woods, after the front dozen or so horsemen, the woods are like arrows, and more than forty thieves are shot off the horse.
More thieves were shot by arrows and were left behind before they had gone a dozen paces.
Even if it is an elite unit, it is difficult for the light cavalry to make the war horse hang full armor, and the same is true of this thief's cavalry team, with random arrows shooting from the side, and the main target is to run the war horse. The thieves who were ambushed had no chance to turn around, but rushed forward desperately, hoping to rush through the woods.
In the blink of an eye, the more than 100 cavalry were beyond the range that the archers could threaten, and continued to pursue Su's team, and the thieves who fell off their horses were a little panicked, and the second wave of arrows in the woods had arrived.
Seeing that the enemy's more than 100 cavalry still dared to continue the pursuit, Su simply turned around and killed back. Sharman's elemental mage was ambushed in front of him, and bringing it over himself was nothing more than a waste of scrolls. I thought that the enemy would send a large group of men and horses to chase after him, but there were only more than 200 people. Sue was a little disappointed.
Seeing that Su turned around and killed back, the two thieves rode forward side by side, listening to two sword-edged spears in their hands. Sword-edged spear combat is acceptable, and horse combat is obviously inferior to spears, and even inferior to cross guns. The pursuing thieves must have rarely ridden horses on weekdays, and they did not change their weapons suitable for horse warfare for a while.
Seeing the enemy rushing up, Su put two swords, one long and one short, into the sheath with both hands at the same time, and shouted loudly.
The two thieves were so drunk by Su that their bodies trembled violently, and they almost fell off their horses. Sue's horse had staggered by, and the probe had copied the bladed spear of one of the thieves in his hand.
