Thundering City sits on the edge of the Thundering Strait, and the walls are only a few kilometres from the beach - a wonderful outpost fortress that can only be described as a natural outpost. 【】

If the Roland people in the north are to ascend 6 and the south is big 6, then on the northern coastline of the Empire of Light, the most suitable place is this beach outside Thundering City.

Perhaps God deliberately left an excellent terrain for Guangming 6 when he created this world-Guangming 6 leans on the coastline of the Thundering Strait, most of the coastline is steep whirlpool reefs and steep cliffs, and there are relatively few flat beach terrains, and there are even fewer beaches that can accommodate large armies to climb 6 on a large scale - this coast outside Thundering City is flat and broad, the best place to officially land 6.

The walls of Thundering City were built after Imperial fortresses - it was a purely military fortress, and there were very few civilians living in the city. The walls are built entirely of boulders, a specialty of the north, and are tall and sturdy, twelve meters high and four meters wide, in the shape of an arc.

Thundering City is not large, and the maximum limit can only accommodate 200,000 garrisons - at this moment, there are 50,000 Flame Warriors of the Cult of Gods, 50,000 Thunder God's Whips, and 50,000 elite heavy infantry of the Northern Legion.

Tiger looked coldly at the information in front of him, then walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and looked into the distance, under the morning sun, Thunder City was faintly visible on the shore.

"Thundering City must be taken first. Tiger, who was the commander of the Roland 6 Southern Expedition Alliance, sighed softly. In every way, the first step in this holy war must be to take Thundering City!

First of all, the allied forces of Roland the Great 6 needed a strong stronghold to reorganize the army after they came ashore. And to serve as a solid transit point for further southward expeditions! In the footsteps of the war in the southward march of the army, with this strong stronghold close to the coastline, the supplies transported from Roland 6 were continuously sent to the front line through this transit station!

Taking a step back, the Bright Empire's combat power above the 6 lands is something Tiger is deeply afraid of - especially their Tulip Duke, almost every generation of that family is a natural military commander. The Bright Empire has a large and elite army, and after its own army goes ashore, it must immediately get a strong military stronghold, in case the other side mobilizes heavy troops to fight back wildly, its own side needs a strong military fortress to breathe and repair.

He didn't want his army to fight a field battle with the opposing army's huge cavalry as soon as it came ashore - it would take some time to recuperate. The wind and waves at sea across the strait for more than ten days made the soldiers very tired.

And very important. There are quite enough military supplies such as food, grass, weapons and so on in Thundering City, and the occupation of Thundering City can give the army a large amount of supplies.

Of course, there is another reason that Tiger did not say......

He himself was not optimistic about this holy war - but the dignity and honor of the knights compelled him to serve His Majesty the King and the Temple. But he was always a little uneasy in his heart--he was fighting hard with the army of the Bright 6? Although the Roland coalition army was large enough. But can a patchwork of good and bad armies from a dozen countries work?

Because this stronghold is closest to the coastline, once the war is lost in the future and the army is defeated, the Thundering City can be used to collect the defeated army and block the pursuit of the Bright Empire. It is possible to rely on the protection of this strong military fortress to withdraw the army to the sea with maximum safety!

It's just that Tiger knows very well that he understands these truths, and the other party also understands them, so the other party has mobilized heavy troops in Thundering City. And it's the "Whip of Thor" led by Duke Tulip of the Empire!

Tiger watched from afar as there seemed to be a flag flying high above Thundering City - too far away to see too clearly, but Tiger knew - it was the Tulip Battle Flag!

Taking a deep breath, the supreme commander of the Luoda Coalition Army gave an order in a short language: "Deng 6!"

The morning sun shines on the sea without hesitation, and on the vast sea, thousands of huge warships with jet-black bodies are densely lined up - half of them are the kind of Roland people that Miró said, and the first-class warships that can accommodate more than a thousand people!!

Countless small ant-like boats were lowered and rushed towards the shore like a large mass of locusts......

The Imperial defenders on the walls were stunned...... After all, there has been no large-scale war with Roland 6 for a hundred years, although I have always known that the strength of Roland people at sea is extremely strong - but seeing such a huge sea legion on the other side with my own eyes at this moment also makes these imperial soldiers' eyes almost pop out!

The beach is noisy. Countless Roland soldiers poured onto the coast, bringing large quantities of supplies. The instruments were carried down, and then a steady stream poured into the huge barracks, visible from the city walls. They are like a swarm of busy worker ants.

"Lord Duke, are we going to wait?" Ziggy couldn't help but frown.

Luo Di looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Wait! This group of more than 100,000 people have come ashore, and I will wait for their hundreds of thousands to come ashore, and let them leave the sea where they came to live, and shed every drop of blood under our walls!"

So, on the second day of the war, a strange scene was formed......

The huge Roland coalition army on the coast beach was in full swing, but the Emperor ** team in the far thundering city was completely regarded as air, and the two sides occasionally glanced at each other from a distance, and they both continued to do their own things, not to mention a knife and a gun, not even an arrow was released......

The only thing that surprised Roddy a little was that a larger fleet of the other side appeared on the sea, and the dense warships almost completely blocked the entire sea, and a steady stream of troops was transported from the sea to the shore, from 100,000, to 200,000, then to 300,000, 500,000, 600,000......

The seemingly large military camp on the shore was almost no longer sufficient, and the neighing of men and horses filled the entire beach, and even the thundering city could be heard in the distance.

For three whole days, three days, the other side transported an incomparably large army to the shore, and the huge military camp looked like a dense forest. The only thing Luo Di did every day was to stand on the city wall and watch the other party's Deng6, and then secretly calculate in his heart how many troops the other party had come this time......

The results of the statistics made him slightly surprised: 800,000! At least 800,000! That's a lot more!

Could it be that the Rolands are crazy? They sent almost half of the army of Oshikashima - they really thought that this kind of motley army mixed with the armies of more than a dozen countries could defeat the Bright Empire and sweep away the army of the Great Six Lands?

Roddy's gaze was already very sharp at the moment, and after three days of observation, his evaluation of the strength of the Roland coalition was quite pertinent.

Among these 800,000 people, only less than 200,000 people at most have reached the standard of the elite army of the empire, and two of the knights look very good, presumably the legendary knights of Roland. I just don't know if there are any Holy Knights of the Roland 6 Temple in it.

As for the rest of the armies, Roddy didn't bother to look at them - they were almost ragtags, with fewer cavalry, mostly infantry. But those infantry were completely inadequate compared to the elite heavy infantry of the Empire of Light.

They lack equipment, and even have no good armor, and some armies are not even uniform, and the so-called armor on many infantry is simply a few pieces of rotten iron on the chest and shoulders and other vital parts. There are all kinds of weapons in the hand, including swords and broadswords. There are short spears, and there are spears......

There was also a strange army, which surprised Roddy a little--it was a very strange army, which must have been the legendary Roland chariot with a thousand two-wheeled carriages, each of which was equipped with a war horse, and on board it were three soldiers, a coachman, and two spearmen. On the two wheels of the carriage, two long sharp knives were tied - Roddy could see at a glance the horror of this kind of army, a special class of troops specially designed to slaughter the opposing infantry!

But. The shortcomings of this tank are also very obvious, and Roddy just sneered twice and then ignored it.

In addition to the unexpectedly large number of the opponent's army, Luo Di has not felt uneasy in his heart these days. Every day, he just inspected the barracks as usual, and then pulled Ziggy to discuss some things, and even rarely saw the commander-in-chief officers under him.

The only one who was worried was the bishop elder of the Cult of God.

One day, the Elder of the Cult of God walked up to the city wall and exclaimed when he saw the huge military camp of the enemy in front of the distant beach. His face immediately turned a little pale.

He immediately strongly advised Duke Tulip to ask His Majesty for reinforcements!

Needless to say, the entire Northern Theater has only 400,000 troops, but the other side has twice as many troops!

His Majesty the Emperor should be immediately requested to have a large number of reservists of the Dharma. It is even necessary to prove the people!

Luo Di just glanced at him coldly, and then said lightly: "Got it." ”

Ziggy watched the soulless Divine Sect Bishop Elder leave, and sneered, "Fool! Can't he see that the other party's army is huge. But there were very few real elite soldiers among them, and although most of them were armed and wearing armor, they looked like a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes...... Hmph......"

Miro said lightly: "Needless to say, those rubbish, it's just their two knights, which look really good." Just pay attention to those people. It's just that the cavalry can't attack the city, and we can completely consume them!"

Luo Di smiled slightly: "Kill them, it doesn't seem necessary, I don't plan to fight a decisive battle in Thunder City at all......"

He smiled slowly: "I have decided, we will stay here for ten days, and after ten days, we will abandon Thundering City, and then retreat to the interior of the Northern Province!"

Ziggy and Miro glanced at each other, a strange look flashed in Miro's eyes, and he said coldly: "Seth, you are really cunning, you are afraid that they will run away, do you want to lure the enemy deeper?"

Luo Di nodded: "Thundering City is too close to the seaside, they can escape at any time, but as long as you lure them to the depths of the Big 6...... Hmph, I'm going to fight a battle to let their 800,000 troops all touch in the bright 6!"

Sighing, Roddy said in a low voice: "In that case, at least you can buy peace for the empire for a few decades......"

The calm was broken on the eighth day of the 6th of the opponent's boarding.

General Tiger, the commander of Roland's 6th coalition army, wrote a battle letter to Duke Tulip, the commander of the Thundering City Empire, and the two sides agreed to fight a decisive battle under the city of Thundering City in the afternoon of the next day.

After seeing this war book. Roddy and Ziggy looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Miro also looked a little strange: "These Roland heretics, just fight, even if they come to attack the city, what kind of war will they make?"

Luo Di thought for a while and said, "Let's fight, our army hasn't fought with the Roland people for a hundred years, it's better to try their strength first." Tomorrow I will let General Miro and I take people out of the city and fight them under the city!"

Ziggy was about to say something, but Roddy shook his head. Said: "Thor's whip is now our trump card, it can't be shown the first time, tomorrow, General Zig, you will watch from the city wall!"

The prelude to the war began......

The afternoon sun was particularly dazzling, and with the dull and dense beat of drums, groups of soldiers from the camp of the Roland coalition slowly came out, and a huge army formation was set up in the wilderness below the city. In the center were several phalanxes of infantry, flanked by cavalry queues, and strangely the chariot did not appear.

The gates of the Thundering City opened, and 50,000 heavily armored infantry in sturdy armor marched out in orderly steps, holding sturdy shields and swords in their hands, and a dense and neat phalanx lined up under the walls.

The air was filled with the dampness of the sea breeze and a bit of saltiness, and the afternoon sun made the soldiers' foreheads sweat, and Roddy and Miro stood in the middle of the formation, looking coldly at the Roland coalition on the opposite side.

"It seems that the commander of the other side is also very cautious...... These people are just temptations. Miro whispered. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Roddy.

Roddy didn't speak, his eyes were calm, and he pursed his lips and looked at the enemy troops in the distance.

A giant man with a height of more than two meters and a stature about the same size as Rand ran out of the opponent's military formation, holding a huge horn in his hand and putting it to his mouth......

Woowoowoo......

"For honor!" a knight drew his sword.

"For the honor of !!" Countless voices rose into the sky in a noisy voice, and then the front of the Roland land army began to move, and countless soldiers began to advance slowly, first trotting. Then the degree became faster and faster, and finally the soldier who ran in front raised his weapon in his hand. After the roar, he quickly rushed towards the Bright Emperor ** team.

Ziggy on the city wall sighed and shook his head: "Miscellaneous cards are miscellaneous cards. ”

As soon as he gave the order, the archers on the walls immediately drew their bows. A round of projectiles at the sky at a forty-five degree angle!

As soon as the first group of the Roland infantry had reached the halfway point, they heard a whooshing sound in the sky, and then the sharp swords fell from the sky, and many soldiers had just raised their shields in their hands, but they had already fallen down with arrows, and some soldiers were still screaming in the face of the dense rain of arrows. But most of the Roland soldiers still ran forward screaming!

"Shield!" Miro shouted!

The soldiers at the forefront of the Bright Empire left and slammed their huge shields into the ground, and the diamond-shaped shields were inserted into the soft sandy earth, and a solid shield wall was immediately erected in front of the military formation!

"Prepare ......"

"Ready...... The back row is pressed forward ......"

"Prepare ......"

The officer shouted loudly, and as he saw the enemy getting closer and closer, his dense footsteps were like a shout of urgency.

Then, on this battlefield, the Roland army slammed into the shield wall like a rolling torrent!

There was an endless bang, and the two forces collided violently together, and some shield walls were immediately knocked open into a gap, but after the gap was opened, the Roland soldiers who had just rushed in behind were desperate, and they were greeted by countless sharp swords, and the Roland soldiers who rushed into the gap were immediately cut into pieces! The first wave of attacks all crashed into the shield wall, hitting the head and bleeding, not only did not break through, but blocked the people behind.

"Withdraw the shield!!" Mirogao shouted, only to hear a clatter, and the shield wall suddenly snapped in the middle...... The giant shields of the Bright Emperor ** team are all linked together by two pieces, as long as one of the iron cables inside is broken, the shield will immediately be divided into two pieces!

After a shout, the Imperial hoplites rushed forward. Xun and the opposing soldiers are entangled together!

The heavy infantry of the empire were all highly trained professional soldiers, and their fighting skills, as well as the skills of three or five people in a battle formation, far surpassed the soldiers put together by the Rolanders.

Often, the sword of a Roland soldier has just opened the weapon that the other party has chopped, but the neck is cold, and the head has been cut off by another Imperial soldier!

As soon as they came into contact, countless people fell down in an instant!

Luo Di's dragon tooth sword had already swung up, and a cloud of golden earth fighting qi erupted from his sword, and all the Roland soldiers who rushed to his side were immediately torn apart under that golden fighting aura. Reduced to a mass of flesh and blood.

Miro's swordsmanship is much more elegant in comparison, his swordsmanship is like a dance, every stroke and every stab can instantly take away a life!

The excellent equipment and skillful fighting skills of the heavy infantry caused the Roland people to suffer very heavy losses! Many Roland soldiers now managed to cut down the opponent with great difficulty, but they could not break through the opponent's hard armor. But in such a stunned effort, the opponent's sword had already pierced itself......

"Lord Tiger, please let us go!" Seeing his own men slaughtered in front of him, the opposing hoplites were like an impassable metal wall. A tall knight shouted to General Tiger beside him: "Let my knights charge, no matter how powerful the other party is, it is only infantry!

Tiger glanced indifferently at the knight beside him, and said lightly, "No." After a pause, he said slowly: "Have you seen the other party's city gate? Their Thor's whip must be waiting behind the city gate! I said, today is not the moment for a decisive battle! Today is just a temptation! I just want those arrogant guys in the army who think the Empire of Light is vulnerable to attack to know what kind of enemy we are facing!"

After a pause, his tone softened slightly. Looking at this tall earth knight, he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, your knights are an indispensable force in my hands, and I still want to keep you to deal with the whip of Thor!

Tiger immediately gave orders one by one, and the second and third waves of teams kept rushing forward, hitting the heavy infantry formation of the Empire of Light like a tide, but he knew that the other party was only 50,000 people, but these troops under his command just couldn't break through. A ** wave of attack all crashed into the wall, and a group of infantry went up. It's like sending you to death.

"Gordon Infantry Regiment, Celtic Infantry Regiment, Slavic Infantry Regiment......" The knight frowned: "Can't the three infantry regiments rush through? The other side is only 50,000 people......"

Tiger sneered: "Didn't the people of the Gordon Kingdom, the Celtic Kingdom, and the Slavic Kingdom go crazy in the camp last night? How strong the armor is!" He glanced at the knight beside him, and said lightly, "I don't want disobedient people in my barracks. I know you want to go up, but the other side is relying on the bottom of the wall, will you let your knights rush up and be a live target for the archers on the wall? Don't you see the stones on their walls? Do you use the knight's armor to resist the stones that fall down?!"

The armor on Roddy's body was already stained red with blood - of course, it was all the blood of the enemy, and after being smeared with the blood of the demon dragon, the weapons of ordinary soldiers could not do him any harm at all!

A golden light streaked by, and another head flew up. That golden light also took advantage of the situation to split the body of a Roland soldier in half!

Looking at the enemy who was routing and retreating like a tide, Roddy's face was grim, and there was a cold-blooded look in his eyes.

Although the heavy infantry beside him was more powerful than the ragtag army sent by the other party, they had also lost a lot after this tidal attack, and the soldiers were even more exhausted. Luo Di glanced at Zige on the city wall, then looked at the other party's slowly retreating military formation, and said to himself coldly: "In the first battle, it seems that the other party is also tempting." ”

In the evening, his soldiers reported that reinforcements had arrived on the sea!

Roddy immediately led Ziggy and Miro up the city wall, and by the moonlight, a medium-sized white warship slowly approached......

Miro looked at the flag on the opponent's warship, frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's Roland Big 6's magician guard!

Roddy shrugged his shoulders, looked at the Flame Warrior Regiment's barracks under the city walls behind him, and said, "Magicians? ”
