Chapter 239: Flying Dragon's Message
The walls were brightly lit, and the guards stared nervously at the camp of Barya, which was like a lurking beast in the night, for fear that they would attack at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The soldiers who participated in the battle to defend the wall during the day have long since rested, and now the defense line is fully manned and can carry out two shifts to ensure combat effectiveness.
Ivo didn't dare to sleep, he overestimated Duke Kane as much as possible, afraid that he would make some kind of moth for him at night, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
A good night.
The next morning, the Barian army again launched a tentative attack, and at noon it was closed.
Kane seemed to see that the defense of Burning Horse Town was tighter, and sent two troops to attack in other directions, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and the 12,000 men of the Pegasus Army made up the manpower of the defensive line, although it was not comparable to the iron barrel, but it was also a tight-fitting barrel, and it was not so easy to find loopholes.
During the three months of winter, the long walls of Yogo and Crystal Valley were finally completed with the help of Ivo, and the three long walls were connected to form an arc, and the vacancy of the arc was a huge lake formed by the excavation of the tributaries of the Dorne River in the Golden Tongue River, and it can be said that there were fortifications at 360 degrees.
In the end, Barria seemed to want to storm and break through the defense with a large number of men, which was a stupid way and a helpless way.
Ivo can understand Kane's thoughts, exchange his life for time, quickly break through the defense line, enter the west, and destroy the last pure land of Lasses before Lasses's support arrives, burying Lasses's last hope of turning the tables in the war.
In the afternoon, Barria's tens of thousands of troops were mobilized and attacked the line like a tidal wave, with hundreds of ladders and catapults without a moment's interruption.
The defensive line was under unprecedented pressure, and tens of thousands of well-trained enemies were storming the walls without fear of death, forcibly taking away a area, and were forming a formation to gain a foothold.
Ivo led some masters to rush forward, and with his superior strength, he defeated this group of enemies, and kept fighting fires.
The twin knives swirled, bringing up a stream of cold knife light, and Ivo slaughtered on the city wall like a tiger into a flock of sheep.
Suddenly, his eyebrows stinged, and his intuition warned, Ivo quickly turned around and parried, and a big sword slashed hard at his double knives with heavy force, and Ivo's footsteps shook involuntarily.
A burly Barian who was a head taller than a normal man swung his great sword at Ivo, his armor more elaborate than that of a normal soldier, and he looked like a low-ranking officer.
Brie is a centurion of Barria, known for his bravery, before he became a soldier, he was a seasoned mercenary who had been mixed for many years, his strength was very strong, and his vision was higher, and he found a different Ivo from the chaotic army at a glance, and immediately understood that Ivo was a high-ranking member of the territory.
Brie immediately knew that he had caught a big fish, and as long as he could achieve the first rank of the enemy's commander from the army, he could at least be promoted to the captain of the infantry group.
Brie followed behind Ivo, staring at him closely, spotting Ivo's opportunity to kill the enemy, and fiercely attacked Ivo's back with a sword, the chaos around him was so chaotic that in his opinion, Ivo didn't have time to react at all, his big sword was an enchanted weapon that mercenaries had saved for many years, extremely sharp, and could easily split steel in two, while swinging the sword, Brie couldn't help but have the scene of his promotion in his mind, and the excitement on his face couldn't be hidden.
Ivo turned around to block the blow as if he had eyes on his back, and Bri's heart suddenly cooled half, but the next moment, Ivo's battle-hardened double knives were directly cut off by the big sword, and Bri's hope was rekindled, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, simply killed directly, raised his big sword and stabbed Ivo in the abdomen.
However, before he could come back to his senses, Ivo's figure suddenly disappeared from the retina, and then a dazzling cold light passed quickly, Brie didn't even react, and a cold appeared on his neck, and this coldness quickly spread to his whole body, and there were more large sprays of blood red in his sight, and after being stunned for a moment, Brie realized that this was the blood spurting from his neck.
Brie slowly knelt on the ground, his face full of unwillingness and fear, and looked at Ivo, who turned around with two broken blades and continued to charge, and his heart was filled with regret.
"I couldn't react...... It's me. ā
Although Brie's sneak attack did not put any pressure on Ivo, Ivo's face was solemn, and there was no shortage of warriors who broke through the physical boundaries in the regular army of the Barians, or formal knights and swordsmen, the ratio was about fifty to one to one hundred to one, although the strength was not high, but the damage caused to the guards could not be estimated from the numbers.
As he had just seen, six territorial guards surrounded three Baryas, but one of the Barians was a full-fledged swordsman, and easily counter-killed the six guards, cutting down a small area, which was later killed by Rockhoof in time.
Like vipers hiding in the woods, these full-fledged professionals can easily disrupt the situation on a small battlefield and inflict damage on the guards.
But Ivo was not alarmed, he recruited wandering mercenaries to cope with the situation.
I saw that the mercenaries or cadets of the Hurricane Regiment hidden in the guards returned the favor in the other way, which was even more disadvantageous to the attacker who had no terrain to rely on, and in the meantime, the Barians suffered more strategically.
The defensive force of the defense line is finally on display, and behind the walls there are rows of pillboxes, higher than the walls, that condescendingly shoot arrows at the enemy, and the strong men of the territory are ready to prevent the best of the enemy from crossing the long wall and attacking the territory.
The Barians pounced on the walls, but they were never able to achieve much success.
The defensive line was resilient, very resistant to pressure, and no matter how much pressure was exerted by Barria's huge numbers, it seemed to be crumbling, but it always held up.
Kane thought that under his numerical advantage, the defense line would be quickly overwhelmed, but the result in front of him surprised him, and he couldn't help but have a greater estimate of the role of the defense line, and after weighing the resources consumed by the attack, he said secretly: "The cost of using the number of people to attack is beyond expectations, it's not cost-effective, or think of other ways." ā
Looking at the city wall of the tragic battle, in just half an afternoon, the Barians have left nearly a thousand corpses under the city wall, and there is no key progress, such a high damage rate makes Kane, a veteran of the war, frightened, this is not a rabble, but a regular army, a thousand people can cause a higher effect than three thousand thugs and bandits, and now they have died in vain, he sighed and ordered: "Retreat." ā
The Barians sounded the horn of retreat again, and unlike the previous two temptations, the Barian soldiers, who had originally held a victorious attitude, were stunned, and although they were well-trained and immediately obeyed the order, their morale was hit, and they were chased and beaten by the guards, and finally withdrew to the camp.
Only a thousand corpses remained, piled up under the city walls.
Cheers erupted in excitement on the wall, and all the surviving guards wept and shouted in celebration of the victory.
They still had a dreamlike feeling in their hearts, and several times they felt that they could not stand it, but in the end, the Barians who had poisoned Lasses for nearly a year were beaten back by them, and at this moment, all the hearts of Lasses swelled with pride.
Commander Lucian was even more stunned, and muttered: "The defense line really withstood Barria's all-out attack......
In the distance, Kane looked at Ivo, who was holding on to the battlements on the city wall and gasping for breath, and this time he officially looked at this small character who was not in his eyes, and after a long time, he ordered the adjutant beside him: "Give me all the information about this lord, I want to see it immediately." ā
The next step is to take it seriously.
When he found that the number of people could not open the line, the legendary duke was finally ready to face the opponent Ivo and start a real battle.
It's an acknowledgment, but it's also a pressure.
Ivo's face sank like water, and unlike the cheering guards around him, he was not blindly optimistic, but worried.
Just attacking can put a lot of pressure on you, and if you use a certain tactic, the defense line will be in a dangerous position.
Ivo saw this very clearly.
The night after the battle, Ivo wrote a letter and handed it to Neburdan, "Help me deliver this letter to the main master." ā
There was confusion in the eyes of the Neburdan dragon, as if he didn't understand why Ivo didn't let it go into battle.
Ivo shook his head, thinking of the scene sent back after the investigation of Little Devil One, the alchemy cannon in Barria's camp, if Neburdan is dispatched, it will inevitably encounter a meteorite-like blow, this kind of war killing weapon that costs more than 100,000 Benas with a single cannonball is the haze in Ivo's heart.
Neburdan flapped his wings and flew north.
In the envelope tied to its horn was an antique coin.
