Chapter 21: The Night of Blood and Fire (I)
It was just dusk, the sun was ready to set like an egg yolk, the soldiers were still holding wheat cakes in their hands, and the enemy army was pouring out of the canyon again, this time with no end in sight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Brian stood on the arrow tower, he first saw the large row of shield arrays, behind the shields were magicians, behind the magicians were archers, the enemy was no longer blindly charging, they obviously paid attention, organized an effective battle formation, and prepared to conquer the pass in one fell swoop.
It was still Peng Peng who flew out first, constantly transforming in the air, dodging the rain of arrows, and spitting several poison magic bullets into the enemy's camp. Peng Peng was hit by an arrow, although it was very dexterous, but the arrow rain was too dense, the arrow hit its metal body, making a crisp sound, and even two arrows, penetrating its wings, greatly affecting it to continue to deform, so it had to fly back crookedly, if it were not for the help of the bone bird, it would almost not be able to come back.
"Eat some metal and get some rest, you can't go any further. Brian ordered, looking across the other side, his brow furrowed. At the same time as the poison was generated, the magician's whirlwind technique was also cast, and at the same time the whirlwind swept the poison away, it also took several soldiers into the sky, but they didn't care about the life or death of individual people, as long as the poison did not spread.
Two whistling arrows shining with magical light shot at the magician, and the fifth-level warrior who flashed red fighting spirit hurriedly blocked it with a shield, but they didn't expect how powerful these arrows were in the hands of Xiao Qi and Paul, and the magic arrows not only penetrated the shield, but also penetrated the magician's body, instantly bringing a burst of panic and exclamation.
The enemy quickly made adjustments and blocked the mage with layers of shields, and Xiao Qi and Paul could not see the target and temporarily stopped attacking. Then Da Hei waved his arm, and all the undead began to push down the boulder they had prepared, and the huge impact smashed the shield array, and the enemy began to retreat in the midst of the dead and wounded, and in the gradually blackening night, there were flashes of fighting spirit of various colors everywhere, which looked extremely dazzling.
The rain of arrows reversed course and began to cover the undead, and Seniors hid their minions behind the boulder to avoid the fierce attacks, and then pushed the boulder through the gap, killing the commandos of the Empire.
The two sides were held on this side, the bottom of the canyon was full of bones and boulders, but the enemy still had countless warriors, still organizing charges, they were often led by a strong man, protecting a mage, and behind them were ordinary warriors, carrying long ladders, ready to be erected on the trench, and then they could approach the last stone ramparts.
"Boss, there aren't enough stones!" cried Senior, anxiously.
"Xiao Qi stays, you go collect stones and prepare for the next battle. "Brian uses his soul to deliver the message.
"The next battle, damn me, is there the next one?" Senior felt a little desperate as he looked at the dense military in the canyon, but he still followed Brian's orders and led his servants to carry the stones farther away.
The enemy commander was very keen, he felt that the threat from above had diminished, and immediately ordered the soldiers, carried out their long-range crossbows, and carried out a frenzied bombardment of the fortifications of the pass.
Whirring, rows of thick crossbow arrows, with terrible sounds, crossed the defensive positions. They either poke a large hole in the stone barrier, or directly pierce the defender through a huge blood hole, or cut the arrow tower in half, and each crossbow arrow causes a wound that cannot be ignored.
"Have your warriors throw magic smoke grenades that obscure your enemy's vision. Brian commanded the Bugler.
The trumpeter blew the trumpet, dozens of magic smoke bombs were thrown, and there was a thick fog outside the stone wall, except for Brian and Feifei to transmit information, no one knew what the situation was on the other side.
Suddenly, five or six giant crossbow arrows flew at the same time, and the target was none other than Brian's arrow tower, and the enemy heard the direction of the trumpet, and of course wanted to knock out the commander.
"Boss, flash mob!" the Bone Bird warned.
Lillian saw the crossbow bolts coming through the thick fog, and the target was Brian and the Bugler, and dodged in front of the viscount, ready to use her bronze sword to take on these menacing killing weapons. Brian was in a hurry, and stomped on the plank of the arrow tower with enough fighting energy, and the three of them fell to the ground as the plank broke, dodging the fatal attack. Lilian turned over and stood up, and glanced at Brian gratefully, at the critical moment, this thing is still more clever.
Brian also stood up, holding the commander beside him, he looked a little disgraced, and angrily came to the stone wall, leaning on the arrow stack, constantly summoning the fire elemental.
The stormtroopers of the Xiangri Empire began to set up a long ladder, intending to cross the trench, they suddenly saw a large amount of fire elements surging from the mist, and the warriors of the fourth and fifth levels could still dodge backwards, while the ordinary warriors suffered and were immediately burned into black charcoals and fell into the bottom of the ditch, and the fire elements stood on the ladder and burned the "bridge" built by the enemy, so that they could not approach smoothly.
When the bridge was burned, dozens of fire elements lined up in a row, rushing towards the enemy position, the mages of the Xiangri Empire hurriedly cast water magic to resist the fire, but they exhausted their spiritual power, and they couldn't stop the endless fire elementals, those magicians would definitely not believe it before they were tired to death, there was only one magician on the opposite side.
The enemy's heavy weapons were finally burned to the ground, Brian was also so tired that he rolled his eyes, Bourne hurriedly sent him a magic elixir to replenish his mental power, which was imitated by Sarina according to the medicine provided by Lilian, although the effect is not so good, but the yield is very large, it is not bad to eat a few more, the only flaw is that this medicine has an obvious smell of urine, and I want to vomit after eating too much.
The fire elemental had no spiritual power to sustain it, and after a while, it disappeared, and the entire battlefield fell into silence, and this unsettling silence was a sign of an even more intense battle to come.
Sure enough, when the fog gradually cleared, the soldiers of the Xiangri Empire began to fill the trenches with boulders and corpses on the ground, and they wanted to trample on the corpses of their own people and smash the Dante Pass. The archers on both sides were constantly firing at each other, and from time to time someone on both sides fell, and of course, the enemy without any cover, suffered extremely heavy casualties, and a large amount of blood gathered up and flowed to the lower ground, and the trench that Brian had dug was now a pool of blood.
The only two remaining magicians in the army of the Xiangri Empire, after releasing the falling stones, were shot to death by Xiao Qi and Paul, and now the enemy is completely crazy, they no one cares about the life or death of the mage, but rushes to the trenches and barriers one after another, the corpses are layer by layer, the ditch is finally filled, the warriors hold their weapons, carry the few ladders, and launch a fierce attack on the pass, some even use their blades to cut at the stone wall irrationally, a real hand-to-hand combat is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
