Chapter 131: The Royal Battle
Winter is coming to spring, the new year is coming, everyone has been calm and enjoying the past year, and there has been a bumper harvest for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although several major events happened last year, many people are talking about this year's events, and they all think that this year's ghosts will launch a general attack, and this rumor has caused everyone to be nervous since the beginning of spring. Even Ian is no exception.
But now that the weather is gradually warming, there is still no movement in the Kara Mountains, which makes everyone very puzzled, and gradually the previous tension has disappeared a lot.
However, the Kara Mountains have never let their guard down, they are training and patrolling every day, and if there is anything unusual, it must not be ignored.
Now the commanders of the Kara Mountains, in addition to the previous Big Bear, also have Jones and Baru. All three of them were seventh-order warriors, and none of them were reckless and greedy for life and afraid of death.
On this day, in the conference hall of Yellowstone Fort, the three of them collected the situation in the north since the beginning of spring and February. Comparing them to last year's, there is no difference except for the occasional small number of ghost corpses that patrol.
While the three of them were analyzing, a legion commander walked in and said, "My lord, there is an army of ghost corpses in the north. ”
"How many ghost corpses?" asked Big Bear.
"As before, a thousand, and still close. It was observed that there was no ambush, no abnormalities. Now that we've got new armor and weapons, the soldiers hope to be ready to fight. ”
All three of them stood up and came to the Great Wall to look at the ghost corpse army that was already close to it, no different from the army that had fought before, and after the army stopped, the ghost corpse began to roar, indicating that the human army would fight.
Jones observed for a moment and said, "I'll take an army out and try!"
"No, you are now the commander, and if something happens, it will have a huge impact on our morale. ”
"If something really happens, we still have a chance to come back at such a close distance, and as a commander, we should take the lead. Jones persuaded two men, and then began to gather the army, and the ten legions were assembled, a thousand men in all, and the ten legion commanders were all personally selected by him. It can be said that this legion is the legion he re-cultivated.
Lucas, the commander of the First Legion, and Kujama, the commander of the Second Legion, are both old men.
Next to the Caraburg, an army of 1,000 men was assembled, and 300 cavalry warriors with full ability were able to slash and kill on horseback, and they could shoot arrows on horseback. Two hundred swordsmen, five hundred spear and shield infantry.
After the gates were opened, Jones went out with them, and the heavy force was once again transmitted to the stone walls of the cave.
Out of the mountains, at a distance from the opposing legion, the army came to a neat halt. Jones was watching the other side, and it seemed that the other party was also watching him.
Then, the ghost corpse took the lead in attacking, rushing forward with a huge mace.
"Wound!" Jones waited patiently and gave the order. Looking at the ghosts that were getting closer and closer, he shouted, "Shoot the arrows." ”
Then the three hundred cavalry archers fired the first round of arrows, and then they quickly drew their bows and released their arrows without giving any order. Two rounds later, some of the ghosts fell, but more of them ran with arrows stuck in their bodies.
Jones made a gesture, the cavalry split into two groups and rushed from both sides, and then the infantry raised their shields, and the spears in their hands were already pierced.
The ghost corpses seem to have not been able to drink blood and eat flesh so freely for a long time, and they ran very fast, regardless of the shields in front of them, they crashed down one by one, and there were three ghost corpses strung on top of those spears, and they were still rushing.
The shield blocked the ghost's advance, the spear stuck in the gap, and then the great force still broke through the shield barrier. At the moment when he was about to break through, the big sword soldiers behind jumped out and slashed over, which could cut a ghost corpse in half. And later, the cavalry returned, and from behind began to trample the ghost corpses of this army.
Jones could see that this was an army that was slightly more advanced than the average ghost corpse army, and had nothing but brute force. The flanking attacks from the front and back caused the entire army of ghost corpses to be slaughtered, and from the attack to the end, it took an hour. They had withdrawn from the battle circle, but they did not go back, but to see if there would be any other troops.
Disappointed him, there was no army of ghosts and corpses, and they won, easily winning a battle.
In the next few days, it seemed that the ghosts returned to their usual state, sending troops to fight against the expeditionary force, and both sides won and lost.
Lin Yu was originally in the ghost corpse area, and when the war started, he would also go to the front line to see the situation. He saw the change in the expeditionary force, and the military discipline and equipment were very different from before.
However, Gordon's army did not have a truly elite unit to fight at all. Most of the expeditionary force are still young recruits, and although they have been training for more than a year, they have to rely on their tactics to really fight.
"When are you going to launch a general attack?" Lin Yu asked when he ran into Gordon outside.
"General attack? I'm actually... If it weren't necessary, I really didn't want to launch a general offensive, and such a battle would be interesting. But there is definitely a general offensive. Do you have a way to crack the magic array?" Gordon suddenly asked Lin Yu.
"Keep releasing it, using up the black magic stone inside. ”
"This situation will probably last for a while, and it should be a warm-up for both sides. ”
......
Sure enough, this mode of battle lasted for three whole months, so that no one mentioned the so-called general offensive of the southerners before. Judging by all indications, the King of Ghost Corpses has no intention of launching a general attack at all. Not even a single tentative large-scale attack.
However, a major event suddenly happened in the south that attracted everyone's attention. Ian fell ill and left the message unconscious.
This situation, the occurrence of such a thing, alarmed both the commoners and the nobility. For several days, there was no news of the king's improvement, but there was good news, because the king was ill, and Prince Bowen would temporarily act as the governor of the court.
Ed actually made this up. He had given Ian a body-strengthening medicine before, the side effects of this medicine needed to accumulate slowly, Ed thought that the ghost corpse would launch a general attack soon, and when the time came, it would be over if he lost, and if he won, he could just use this to implement his plan, who knew that the ghost corpse did not have a general attack, and now that the effect of the medicine has arrived, the king has finally fallen ill.
Bowen's temporary acting as the government made him very dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything. So, he came up with a plan. It's better not to do two things and let Bowen die in this unstable turmoil.
After some more time, Bowen also fell ill. The reason for the rumors was that he had to manage the government and take care of Ian, and he was tired, and the news caused an uproar again.
Connais, who was in Dragonkeep, finally couldn't sit still when he heard the news, he knew who was doing the trick. Bowen has already had an accident, and I'm afraid the next one is Jeffrey, who is fourteen years old and enough to threaten him.
"Darren, I'm here for you all the time I'm away. Connell confessed before leaving.
Darren always felt that it was not the right time for Connell to leave now, in case the ghosts launched a general attack, and Connell was not there, it would have a great impact on the morale of the expeditionary force.
"My lord, are you really going?"
"I know what you're worried about. I'll go and get back quickly. ”
......
Connell arrives in Chado, and now the new queen and Geoffrey are temporarily in power. He hadn't seen this son for a long time, and now he was grown. Naturally, he came to Chado under the pretext of visitation, which was the best excuse.
He originally thought that Bowen might be dead, but he didn't expect that it was just a poisoning coma, and it would be difficult for the pharmacist to remove this poison for a while, but it would not be fatal for the time being.
In the evening, Connell came to Ed's castle on crutches, and as soon as he entered, everyone went out, and there were only the brothers in the house. Ed smiled, "It's so late, I don't know if my brother is here to spend the night here?"
"At such a time, if you do such a thing, are you not afraid of harming everyone?" Connell taught.
"I don't quite understand what it means, does my brother suspect that I have harmed the king and the prince? Hehe, you know me, if it is really me, will they still have a life?"
"Don't pretend in front of me, I know, you want to be the new king!"
"You don't want to?" Ed asked.
"I hated Ian, but I never thought about it. ”
"But now... it's Jeffrey in charge. Ed looked at Connell.
"If you dare to touch him, you should know the consequences. Connell's tone immediately chilled.
"Of course not, the Kara Mountains still have to count on you to guard it. I'm afraid you're crazy. Everyone is a family, and I don't want to kill anyone, so I'll let you pick up Jeffrey. As long as you explain to everyone that Jeffrey is your son. ”
"And then you want everyone to see the George family jokes?"
"No one will read your jokes, you can make up a lie, I didn't let you say that Geoffrey was the son of you and the queen. In this situation, everyone needs you. ”
"Rather than that, I'd better have him cut off your head. ”
"Does he listen to you, he just knows that you are his uncle. And he's not fit to be a king, you know. ”
At this moment, the captain of the Black Scale Army broke in and said in a hurry, "My lord, it's not good, yellow smoke has appeared in the beacon tower, and the ghost corpse has launched a general attack. ”
Ed pretended to be calm and said, "Got it, go down." Seeing the man leave, Ed said, "You should go back, I can assure you that I won't move anyone at this moment." ”
Connell was tempted to take Jeffrey away, but now that the Ghost Corpse had launched a general attack, Dragoncastle was a dangerous place. Connell's tone softened, "If... if we lose, I hope you can take him with you." ”
"When it comes to that situation, I won't abandon a child. ”
......
In the Kara Mountains, it was still night, and the army of ghosts and corpses launched the first general assault of the year under the city. The three commanders commanded the whole battle, defended the mountains, and made a lot of preparations for this general attack. Now, the magic array is still there, and they believe that this time they can still successfully resist the invasion of the ghosts. (To be continued.) )
