776 Raid

In the entire pass, there is not a single living Aurora at this time.

In such a picture, the ground is littered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides.

However, this time, the 10,000-character army has no intention of cleaning up the battlefield and snatching the spoils of war.

In this hand-to-hand encounter just now, they all saw it in their eyes, and they also had a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Aurora army.

It is worthy of the Aurora army that defeated their Crusade Army three times in a row before.

Compared to them, the army on the other side of the Khora Sea is simply a school of miscellaneous fish.

If it weren't for the help of these demon beast legions today, I believe that just this pass would have made them bleed.

So at this moment, the emotions inside the entire 10,000-character army were very depressed, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

Manstein looked up into the distance, and saw that behind the pass was a winding path, and the path was full of all kinds of irregular rubble.

Meandering to the east, first downhill and below is a small basin through which a gravel road is ahead.

Seeing this, Manstein basically understood that this was not the road at all.

It was supposed to be a river channel, and the basin below was supposed to be a small lake.

It's just that there is a drought here this year, so this lake and river have dried up.

Although he felt that it was very dangerous to walk in the river, there was no way back for him at this time.

Because before leaving, His Majesty King Gruss summoned him personally.

Hopefully, he can break through in this direction, otherwise, they will have to fight the Aurora army under that Xiongguan.

And the final result, it is very likely that their crusade will come to an abrupt end here.

Entering Baoshan, but returning empty-handed, this is unacceptable to all the Eastern Crusade coalition forces.

So although he knew that there would be a lot of danger in walking in the river, he couldn't take care of it at this time.

With a wave of his hand, Manstein's army of 30,000 turned into dozens of phalanxes, and then walked along the river to the depths of the mountains.

And the vulture eagle that kept hovering above their heads was his confidence.

With these monster legions to help, he didn't believe that the enemy could ambush him.

If there is any danger on the way, then these vulture eagles will be the first to detect and attack.

The 30,000-strong army marched into the valley, and this journey also made Manstein sigh at the steepness of this mountain range.

The river is very narrow, and the cliffs on both sides of the road are also rugged, many of which are very steep, even at an angle of 90 degrees.

And when the soldiers walked inside, they had to raise their heads from time to time and look overhead, fearing that stones would fall and hit everyone.

However, there were no falling rocks, but the harassment of the Aurora soldiers continued.

Although there are vulture eagles on their heads, these Auroras are very cunning.

They tend to split into groups of three or five, hiding on top of steep hills.

When the brigade passed by, they would shoot arrows downward.

In such a geographical environment, they basically don't need to aim, as long as the arrow is down, the people below basically don't run.

Unless you keep your shield above your head, otherwise, even if you wear armor and get a shot, it's basically the end of a burp.

Even if the enemy didn't use armor-piercing arrows, the soldiers below couldn't stand it.

Because this arrow is shot down from a height of several hundred meters, a large amount of potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy, so the lethality is much greater than that of ordinary projectiles.

After walking for more than half an hour, they already had dozens of soldiers who were burped by this harassing cold arrow.

The enemy is also very cunning, and they tend to fire a quick round, such as about ten arrows in one place, and then quickly move their position.

And on both sides of the road, the slopes are steep, and there are dense forests everywhere.

They run away after the fight, and even the vulture eagles, which have very strong eyesight, are difficult to spot in the air.

What's even more terrifying is that there is more than one such group.

In the mountains there would often be two or three out of nowhere, from different directions, shooting at their marching ranks.

This makes them very irritable, often guarding the left side, but missing the right side, and often ignoring their heads.

Half an hour passed, and the large army had walked less than two kilometers, and along the way, almost every step of the way, there were casualties among the soldiers.

In such a short period of time, more than 60 people have died and more than 100 have been injured.

And in such an environment, the wounded are actually more terrible than the dead soldiers.

Because there are so many wounded soldiers, if you are going to march with them, then you have to spend one or two soldiers to take care of them.

And they wail all the way, which will also greatly affect the morale of the army.

But if you leave them here, it will also break the hearts of the soldiers.

So at this time, Manstein is also the first two big.

In the end, he simply left a battalion of 500 men to take care of these wounded soldiers.

Let all the wounded soldiers not have to follow the large army to continue to advance.

Walking and stopping all the way, it finally came to noon, and the vulture eagle that had been hovering above everyone's heads was also tired at this time.

They had been on duty for a whole morning, and they really couldn't fly at this point.

There was a strange whistling sound in the distance, and the vulture eagles, hearing these whistles, quickly retreated to the rear.

Manstein and Heitinga did not lose their fighting spirit because of the retreat of the vulture eagle.

Instead, they made the brigade march faster, and it is not known what they were trying to do so.

However, not long after the whole army marched quickly, there were bursts of fighting on the hillsides on both sides of the road.

Manstein immediately summoned a group of nimble men from the team and climbed the mountain to support.

And he himself rode a big horse and plunged headlong into the woods in front of him from the gentle slope.

Soon they arrive at the scene of a battle, which turns out to be a group of Aurora archers who are planning to sneak up on them.

And at this moment, they were confronting a dragoon.

The archers were in small groups of five, and at this time the three of them were on the periphery, forming a triangular formation.

Two archers stood in the center of the triangular formation, constantly shooting arrows at the opposite dragoons.

And that dragoon, although very fierce, did not dare to rush over rashly at this moment.

Because the guys in the triangular formation have already taken out a buzzing weapon at this moment.

The weapon emitted blue smoke and emitted a strange roar.

And hearing this voice, not only did the velociraptor not dare to lean close to the triangle array.

Even the 10,000-character army that came to support changed color when they heard it.

On that day, on the wall of the improvised camp outside the barren beach, the Aurora army relied on four such triangular battle formations.

Just beat thousands of Manyin's heavy infantry to the ground.

This has already spread among the expeditionary force, and everyone knows that the Aurora Army has such a very domineering weapon.

And at this moment, looking at each other, they really didn't dare to attack rashly.

Manstein secretly scolded badly, but he didn't expect to run into hard stubble here, and it seems that this sabotage war is going to be ruined again.
