Chapter 238: The First Battle

The commander of the spear regiment, Andrew, led the legion to the west, anxious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After receiving Lucian's request for help, he abandoned all subsequent military operations and led his entire army to support the western frontier.

The northern frontier was half destroyed, the southern frontier was lost, the eastern frontier was plagued by orcs, and the central high stone plains fell into the hands of Barria, and only the western frontier was the last territory controlled by Lasses. The western frontier is the confidence to support all soldiers to continue fighting.

He thought of the plan for the defense that Ivo had proposed to him a few months earlier, but he didn't have much hope, it was a good plan, but it took too long to take shape, and after only a few months, I am afraid that the walls were not even built.

Moreover, the Westside is facing the legendary Duke of Barria, which makes Andrew involuntarily lower his confidence in Ivo.

Andrew now only hopes to get in there before the Westlands are completely bulldozed and salvage the toppled situation.

......

"The army of Baria?!" exclaimed Lord Rael, and it wasn't just him, Sucre and Seleuc had ugly faces.

The four realms were the foundation of the defensive line, and Ivo convened a council of lords to tell the three of them the information about Duke Kane's attack, and unsurprisingly, all three lords panicked.

"Ivo, are you crazy, with our four little lords, how can you stop the Barian army.

"I think it's better to escape to Falling Dragon City. ”

The three lords expressed their opinions, and all were worried about the future.

Ivo shook his head: "I know that the defender is very passive, the defense line has not been fully built, there will be a lot of loopholes, but there is no way, I can't give up such a large investment of resources, the war is burning all over Vrigga, the risks are everywhere, we have always had the consciousness of being involved in the big war, this time we must bear it." ”

"Sooner or later, the battle will happen, and with the help of the Pegasus Legion now, it is better than us fighting a strong enemy alone. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and finally nodded heavily.

Ivo breathed a sigh of relief and took out a piece of paper, "This is the task of your respective territories, you must complete it, in the face of the old and spicy legendary duke, we can't do those little tricks anymore, this must be a tough battle, we must pay attention to any details, and we can't find any loopholes for Duke Kane." ”

"Understood. ”

The three lords left in a hurry, Ivo rubbed his eyebrows, he hadn't slept all night, his brain was a little overused, and he was tired, but the enemy would arrive in two or three days, and obviously there was no time to rest.

Orders were passed through the Lord's longhouse, and all the men in the line of defense moved.

No one knows if they will survive this crisis.

......

It was the long wall that surrounded the town of Liema, and Ivo arrived before dawn, surrounded by slightly nervous guards, fearful of the approaching enemy in addition to Ivo.

It rained last night, the roads were a little muddy, and the air was damp.

The smell of earth mixed with water vapor smelled slightly fishy, Ivo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, cold from his nose to his lungs, he patted the arm of Rockhoof beside him, "You ate onions this morning?"

Stonehoof was stunned and worshipped, "How did you guess?"

"Stay away from me, you're farting. ”

“......”

Today is the early morning of the fourth day, and last night, the scout troops cruising outside the defense line have sent back information that Baria's advance force is about to arrive at the defense line, which happens to be in the direction of the town of Liema, and the total number is about 10,000 men.

Ivo got up overnight and added the manpower of the longwall of Liema Town, including many soldiers of the Pegasus Legion, and he wanted to see the combat effectiveness of Barria's troops and understand the enemy so that he could make targeted arrangements.

Ivo raised his eyebrows, looked up at the flag set up on the bunker, and saw that the flagpole was shaking in an imperceptible amplitude, and said that it had finally come.

First there was a faint tremor, then a slight gradient to a deafening sound of horses' hooves, which rumbled like rolling thunder, and a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the distance, and countless Barian cavalry quickly approached the long wall.

The number of people is more than 10,000, boundless.

Two thousand meters outside the long wall, tens of thousands of Barian cavalry quickly stopped, looking at the long wall from afar, and a cold light was revealed in the eyes of the parrot helmet that tightly wrapped the head.

The fine armor, the sharp riding spear, and the style of ordering and prohibiting made Ivo's heart sink slightly.

This is the regular army.

Even though the northern orcs are very strong, they are still being chased around by the bayonet army.

This is the gap between the motley army and the regular army.

It's like the difference between a stone and steel.

Ivo exhaled, turned around and walked down the city wall, and Rhodes on the side said in surprise: "Lord Lord, don't you stay to command the battle?"

"I can't fight today. Ivo waved his hand behind his back, "Have you ever seen a cavalry siege? ”

As he expected, Barria's advance force did not move, but divided into several groups to reconnoiter around the defensive line to find weaknesses in the defensive line, and these measures gave Ivo a slight understanding of Kane's command ability, at least a general above the level.

These days, there are always people who give the deeds and name of Duke Ivopu Kane, which puts a lot of pressure on him and stimulates his fighting spirit.

A few days later, Barria's large army finally reached the outside of the defensive line, and the tents were so endless that even the sackcloth could not hide the hideousness of the siege equipment, and the hearts of all the guards hung in their throats.

Ivo stared firmly at Duke Kane, who was watching the defense line on the hillside in the distance, and the legendary duke also noticed him, and the two eyes met in midair.

Kane looked away slightly, as if he didn't care about the number one.

"Prepare for battle, check weapons, adjust the status of the mage regiment. Ivo frowned and ordered, it was the first time he had seen such a big battle scene, his palms were wet with sweat, and it was sticky, and he didn't bother to wipe it.

About half an hour later, Barria's troops were approaching with ladders and siege ramming, and in the distance, there were ten catapults, and the regular army was not short of siege equipment, and the guards on the long wall were nervous.

"Charge!"

The Barians roared and quickened their advance, as the opposing catapults kicked in, boulders roaring towards the walls, covering the storming troops and containing the rain of arrows on the wall.

"Mage regiment, give Lao Tzu," Ivo Li Yunlong possessed: "Ballista team, bow and arrow team, give Lao Tzu a fuck!"

The mage corps is a special formation in the army, and the existence of magic brings more possibilities to war, most of Ivo's mage corps are academics, and some others are mercenary mages.

One after another, elemental spells **** out from behind the long wall, shattering the boulder in mid-air.

The mage has limited mana, so Ivo divides the mage group into three queues, waiting until the previous group runs out of mana, and the next queue can shoot, so that the mage has time to meditate and recover, and ensure uninterrupted spell strikes or defenses.

But there are two sides to the problem, the Barria Legion must also have a mage regiment, and when the time comes, the two sides will fight together, and there will be no time to take care of catapults.

Ivo doesn't plan to be beaten all the time, there are also catapults in his territory, placed behind the long wall, throwing boulders to hit the opponent's formation from afar, and the Barians responded exactly like him, also relying on the mage group to break the boulder, so that the mage groups on both sides are pinned, and they still have to rely on ordinary soldiers to fight.

Balistas and bows fired waves of long-range strikes, the Barian troops were well-armed, and the tower shield heavy armor guards opened the way in front of them, blocking many attacks, and when they approached the city wall a hundred meters, they changed formation, removed the tower shield, exposed the archers behind them, and counterattacked the wall.

The regular army's method of fighting was steady and steady, without the slightest flaw, which put unprecedented pressure on the guards.

The ladder was quickly erected on the wall, and a stubble of Barian soldiers rushed up, and the battle broke out, and the blood spurted out.

Siege engines were also striking the city gates, which were sealed with many horizontal logs, and many veterans were pressed behind the gates to prevent people from entering.

The advance and retreat of the regular army of Baria were well-founded and outstanding, and the guards of Liema Town had been trained for more than half a year and had good quality, and the two sides were inseparable.

The masters of the territory are all guarding the ladder, determined not to let the enemy gain a foothold.

Ivo wielded his twin knives and slashed wildly through the crowd, finding that against a large number of enemies far inferior to his own, the twin knives were more efficient at killing than warhammers and spears, like the embodiment of death, having slashed two pairs of standard long knives, and the corpses under the walls were piled higher and higher.

After being promoted to level 6 warrior, his strength is even stronger, and he can break the opponent's arm bones with a single sword that can be parried by ordinary soldiers.

After killing for a long time, both hands began to go numb, and a trumpet sounded in the Barian legion, and the enemy slowly retreated.

Looking at the sky, before you know it, it is already dusk.

On the hillside in the distance, Duke Kane was expressionless.

Ivo gasped, knowing that this was only the first temptation of the Baryans.
