Hundreds of lives that had just been alive were turned to ashes in an instant, and the corpses that had been burned by the flames exuded the unique aroma of meat, which made people feel a little evil. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info A large part of the city wall was smashed by a meteorite and a huge gap, and the high temperature burned the stones on the city wall to the point that they were broken when they stepped on it.

The culprit of this matter was chanting the next big magic at this time, and Cosimo was close, and at a glance he saw dozens of magicians summoning a large number of magic elves. Because of the attributes of the magic elves, the magicians are divided into several groups according to their different attributes. That huge meteorite was the work of fire magicians.

In large-scale battles, the role of magicians is actually not large, just take the "meteorite technique" just now, even if ten high-level magicians work together to cast large-scale magic, four or five a day is already the upper limit. Although the large-scale magic is very lethal, the actual effect is quite average. Hundreds of people die every minute on the battlefield, and even more if the two armies charge, and the warring sides don't care about the extra hundreds of casualties. What's more, the mage has a weak physique, and if one is accidentally shot by a bow and arrow, or is killed by the light cavalry into the mage formation, he may have to lose money. Although the Satya Empire and the Oslan Empire are known as the two strongest military empires in the pan-continent, even all the high-level magicians in their two countries together do not exceed a hundred, and it takes too much energy and material resources to train a high-level magician, and losing any of them is a loss that the empire cannot afford.

However, when it comes to siege warfare, it is different, one side is completely passive, and without the protection of the same number of magicians, each magic attack of the attacking side will cause great damage to the city wall or city, which is a force that the defender cannot resist.

Cosimo also understood this, and he knew that there were not many magicians in Tallinn Fort. In the face of magicians, in addition to using cavalry to sneak attack, another way is the surprise attack of the dragon knight. Now the heavy cavalry is entangled by the light infantry and cannot get out, only he can get up.

Cosimo waved his dragon spear, and the green dragon silently recited a deep dragon language in his mouth. It didn't take long for a cloudy fog to begin to fill the battlefield. Moreover, the fog apparently only covered the top of the Satya Empire's troops. Immediately, the green dragon roared and rushed towards the team of magicians.

Satya's green dragon knight reacted immediately when he saw the turbid mist, "Everyone hold your breath! Wind mage drive this mist away!" At the same time, the reins in his hand were tightened, and the green dragon under the seat chased Cosimo from behind.

The soldiers at the edge of the battlefield had just heard the shouts of their dragon knights, and before they could react, they suddenly felt out of breath. As the fog is gradually seeping into the battlefield, how can we make the soldiers in the middle of the battle hold their breath? Many soldiers were so red that they had to gasp for breath, and as a result, they inhaled more poisonous gases. The sound of coughing kept coming from the battlefield.

At this time, Cosimo had already arrived above the team of fire magicians, and the dragon's claws, sharper than the knight's spear, directly tore the body of an intermediate magician who had not yet reacted in half. The magic archer in the distance was constantly aiming the bow in his hand at the green dragon, but because the magician cast the spell too closely, it was already too far away from the magic archer. The dragon tail of the green dragon flicked hard, throwing three low-level magicians and several heavy infantry out of the way, and fell to the ground without breathing. At the same time, the arrows of the demon archer also fell on the green dragon. The scales on the dragon's body were harder than any human-made armor, but several bows and arrows still pierced into the green dragon's body.

Seeing that the Ying Dragon Knight, who had just returned to the formation, had taken off again, and the Blue Dragon Knight behind him was rushing forward, Cosimo had to give up his plan to kill these magicians in one go. The long dragon spear was struck hard, and the body of another mid-level mage was thrown out, and Satya's fire mage group was on the verge of collapse. "Let's go!" the green dragon's dragon claws kicked on the ground, breaking away from the battle before the second round of arrows from the enemy demon archer fell, spiraling up into the clouds. Cosimo is very smart, the green dragon under his seat also suffered a lot of injuries in the battle with Ying Long just now, if he returns the same way, he will have to fight with the green dragon knight, and he will not get any benefit from his physical strength, so he simply uses the clouds to dodge.

At this time, it was getting late, and the haze summoned by the green dragon did not cause much damage to the Satya soldiers in the short term, and only a few hundred people died of suffocation. But this colorless and odorless magic that can kill people has caused the morale of the entire legion to drop very much. Ying Long led the wind mages to blow away the haze, and at the same time, they also found that there were no Satya soldiers standing under the city walls at this time.

The siege has been going on for a day, and both sides have their own losses, more than half of the more than 7,000 defenders of the western city have been killed and wounded, a huge gap has been smashed by meteorites in the city wall, and other sections of the city wall have also been damaged by trebuchets and small magic attacks. In the end, reinforcements from the main city also killed and wounded more than 200 people. Satya has invested two entire light infantry brigades, the first of which has been forced to be removed. The biggest headache for Maxim was that the dragon knight who participated in the battle for the first time was actually beaten by the dragon knight on the opposite side and fled, and then the fire mage team with the strongest combat effectiveness was stirred up under the protection of the heavy infantry. Under the multiple blows, I had to give up the idea of continuing to attack tonight. The herald struck the cymbals hard, and Satya's soldiers formed a defensive formation and slowly retreated back to their positions.

Seeing that the other party had retreated, Cosimo also led the green dragon back to the western city wall, and at this time, Bodwin, who had arrived from the main city, was already waiting for the dragon knight on the city wall. Although the two of them now have the same military rank, they both belong to the captains of Hebrew's command. But out of respect for the strong, Birdwin bowed slightly to Cosimo, and Cosimo returned the salute on his mount dragon.

"Your Excellency the Dragon Knight, Marshal Hebrew has ordered that all the defenders of the Western City have meritorious service in defending the city. Now due to the strength of the enemy's army, you are hereby ordered to lead the soldiers of Xicheng to return to the main city to recuperate. ”

Cosimo glanced at the broken city walls and the soldiers who fell to the ground, and he had to sigh when he was used to seeing war, "Who is guarding the western city?"

"The marshal meant to abandon the western city. Birdwin truthfully reported what Hebrew meant.

"What, abandon the guard?" Before Cosimo could speak, the soldiers defending the city in the west city couldn't hold it anymore. sacrificed so many brothers' robes in exchange for abandoning the city, which no one can stand it.

Cosimo waved his hand to interrupt the soldier's words, "I understand what His Excellency the Marshal meant, the current West City is indeed difficult to defend, it is better to retreat to the main city." Your Excellency, when are we leaving?"

"I will have another task on my side, and I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you. ”

"Oh, then I wish you success. Cosimo didn't bother to be polite anymore, and directly arranged for the soldiers to prepare for retreat. After a day of offensive and defensive battles, he was already tired, and he didn't bother to care so much, he was not the kind of person with a particularly strong sense of curiosity. In his eyes, it is enough for a soldier to obey orders.

The ability of Oslan's elite troops was indeed amazing, and by the time night fell, there was not a single soldier left in the West City. The unwounded soldiers carried the seriously wounded and the lightly wounded to each other, and before leaving, they dismantled all the trebuchets and ballistas, and burned all the supplies that could not be taken away.

That night, the camp of the Satyan army was very quiet, as if the only thing in the world was the noisy Zhizhi in the distance and the occasional snoring of the soldiers. Because of the whole day of fighting, several soldiers on duty also felt unusually tired and yawned incessantly. Fortunately, now the squad leaders have also sneaked back to sleep in the tents, and the soldiers on duty simply leaned back in their chairs and dozed off.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from not far away, which made him shiver, and his sleepiness ran away in an instant. The sentry squinted his eyes to see what was in the darkness, and in the next moment, he saw clearly. It was an arrow that was flying towards him at high speed! He was knocked to the ground before he could even make a sound. Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp, several sentries were shot by arrows almost simultaneously and fell in pools of blood.

"Enemy attack!" a soldier who had just come out of the toilet happened to see this scene, and he was so frightened that he lifted his pants and ran. The frightened soldier woke up the soldier who was dozing off. At the same time, the sudden sound of horses' hooves and roars from all directions plunged the entire barracks into chaos.

The first brigade of the "Red Panther Knights" led by Bodwin is best at night raids, with people and horses. Without alarming anyone, the knights infiltrated only three hundred meters from the enemy camp, during which three squads of patrolling cavalry passed by and did not notice them. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the knights, who were ready to go, first took out all the sentry posts with a rain of arrows. If one of the soldiers hadn't come out to the toilet and found them, the knights would have rushed to the gate of the camp by the time they could react.

The knights lit the torches in their hands, certainly not for lighting. The whistling knights threw their flaming torches onto the tents, and the cloth tents were ignited in an instant. The fire and wind, the continent of Husyari in spring has not yet entered the rainy season, and the northeast wind blowing from the Saint-Jormain Mountains is quite dry, and the tent burns very quickly.

The marching tent of the army is actually very simple for the convenience of loading and dismantling and carrying, and when the rope fixing the tent is burned, the whole tent falls down, and the soldiers who are getting dressed are directly ignited by the burning tent. The burning man screamed and rushed out of the tent, and the people who were burned by the fire couldn't see the direction at all, but just bumped around by feeling, and some tents that had not yet been ignited also suffered.
