Chapter 190: Warriors

While the Thunder God's Whip in the Thundering City was intensively repairing the southwest city wall, hundreds of captive Roland people reinforced the city wall with stones under the leather whip, and at the same time repaired the city gate and piled up countless huge stones behind the city gate. [No pop-up novel network]

Ziggy was undoubtedly a very demanding person, and he had no mercy for these captured Roland soldiers, so his Thor's whip did not hesitate to whip the leather whip at the slow-moving prisoners of war.

It's not that Ziggy is cruel - in the face of invaders who invade their homes, so-called kindness is nothing more than ridiculous bullshit!

The city wall in the southwest is being repaired intensively, and about a hundred miles south of Thundering City, on the main road, the black-pressed brigade of Roland cavalry is galloping with all their might!

As early as when Zig's sneak attack broke through the second line of defense to the north, the commander of the Roland coalition in the Pamir Plain was rewarded by the defeated troops who had fled......

Tiger felt like he had suddenly stepped on a cliff!

Enraged, Tiger cut the defeated Roland officer in half with a single sword, and then in a fit of rage ordered the Holy Knights to come out immediately and return to Thundering City at all costs!

Either way, Thundering City must be taken back!!

If Thundering City is captured by the enemy, then Tiger's main army will lose the only way home...... What's more, they will lose their only supply line!

"Now there is only hope that the last stronghold on the road to the north can stop the pace of Thor's whip!" Tiger sighed, "Perhaps, it should be able to catch up." After all, there are nearly 100,000 troops in Thundering City, and it is not so easy for them to take it...... Hmph, even if those guys in the empire have tens of thousands of cavalry sneaking up behind us, tens of thousands of cavalry can capture the Thundering City garrisoned by the army...... It's not a cavalryman's strong point!"

Tiger forgot that the Holy Knights he sent out were also cavalry...... If Thundering City is indeed captured, will the mighty Holy Knights be able to retake it?

There are tens of thousands of Holy Knights led by three great knights at the forefront, they are only a few dozen miles away from Thundering City, and in the distance in front of them is the last military stronghold that will pass through the north of Thundering City - the two military strongholds they have passed through before have already been broken through by the sneak attack army of the Bright Empire. Only corpses and remnants were left in one place.

"Speed up!!!We'll be to Thundering City by night!" a great knight commanded in a loud voice......

This stronghold, which is dozens of miles south of Thundering City, is in the middle of the main road to the north, and this defense line was originally the gateway to protect Thundering City arranged by Tiger, but now it is the five thousand Thunder God's Whip left by Zig that is stationed here!

Their mission is to protect this place for a day! Half a day has passed since the time ordered by Lord Ziggy in the early hours of this morning...... Just a few more hours later, then the mission is complete.

The one who was ordered to command the five thousand men was the fourth-level warrior Shavi of the Thunder God's Whip. There was a faint sound of horses' hooves on the road in the distance, which had clearly told him a message: the Roland people are coming!

The big trees on both sides of the road have all been cut down, and the soldiers have already placed the big trees in Dashawi's heart, and they know very well that once the army of the Roland people comes, it will be a large force of cavalry - the Roland people who are eager to rescue Thundering City, in order to pursue it, they must send back the Holy Knights with the strongest mobility and combat effectiveness!

With this 5,000-strong Thor's whip, it is impossible to intercept the Holy Knights on the broad road, which is likely to have tens of thousands of people!

With the original stronghold of the Rolanders, and the improvised felling of large trees, a crude line of defense was simply placed in Dada--this line of defense may not be able to withstand the infantry of the opposing group, but it is enough to block the charge of the cavalry!

Truth be told, Shawi was ready to die. He knew that his army of 5,000 men would not be able to win this battle at all - his only task was to delay time! The longer he dragged the Roland army here, the better! Because the newly captured Thunder City behind him needed time not to set up defenses!

The more time he drags here, the tighter the defense of Thundering City!

Seeing that the vanguard of the Holy Knights was becoming clearer and clearer, Shavi and his five thousand warriors had already abandoned their horses and quietly arranged behind the defensive line, waiting patiently......

The Holy Knights from afar saw that the road had been blocked by a mess of obstacles, and in desperation, the knights had no choice but to stop their advance, jump off their horses, and advance with their shields in hand......

The battle began very suddenly. Without warning, they were greeted by a rain of arrows like locusts falling from the sky......

On the Pamirs, Tiger is faced with his most important decision.

Is it forward or backward?

The news of the sneak attack on Thundering City was tightly sealed by Tiger, and only some of the highest-ranking generals knew the news.

Then the representatives of the ten countries of the Roland coalition began a fierce quarrel in the commander's tent.

The people who quarrel are basically divided into two factions.

The opinion of one faction is: immediately the whole army will be pulled out, all retreat to Thundering City, and no matter what, they must take back Thundering City, because that is the only way home, and the only supply route for hundreds of thousands of troops!

The opinion of the other faction is: Regardless of Thundering City! Immediately concentrate all forces and crush the main army of the Empire of Light that is confronting you head-on at all costs! As long as you can defeat this main force head-on, then it doesn't matter whether Thundering City is taken or not! The necessary supplies can be snatched from the enemy! As long as the opponent's main army is defeated, then you can take advantage of the situation to break through the defense line of the Pamir Plain, and then capture one or two large cities in the north of the opponent, and the problem of supply will be naturally solved!

The generals who adhered to this faction were very adventurous. Their point of view is that since the opponent used cavalry to sneak attack Thunder City, then it must be the strongest Thor's whip! Taking advantage of the absence of the opponent's strongest ace Thor's whip, it is the best time to crush the opponent's main army!!

In fact, Tiger is very conflicted, and in fact he is inclined to the latter method in his mind.

Will the main army of the opposing side in front of it allow its hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat so easily? The other side will definitely bite itself to the death and pursue it! At present, the army's supplies and grass are only enough for more than 10 days...... Of course, if you order to start restricting the use of matching, it may be able to support it for more than 20 days!

In a period of more than 20 days, his hundreds of thousands of troops will withdraw to Thundering City, which will require several days of fertilizer. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are not all cavalry! There are also infantry and slower baggage! and then force the breach of the impregnable walls defended by Thor's Whip......

Can these things be done in 20 days?

But to Tiger's surprise, even the Holy Knights insisted on returning to Thundering City!

Tiger may not care about the representatives of the noisy little kingdoms - but the Holy Knights represent the Temple!

Therefore, he had to send the Holy Knights to Thundering City in a hurry at the first time...... Knight Tiger knew in his heart that even if he didn't give the order, the Holy Knights would go out on their own......

But it's been two days since the 50,000 Holy Knights were out, and Tiger still didn't want to retreat.

In front of you is the entire main force of the opponent's northern theater of operations! As long as you break through this line of defense, you can still have a large area of land in the north behind the defense line, as well as Kaka City, the capital of the northern province...... For their own powerful legion, it is simply undefended!

As long as the opponent's northern provinces are occupied, then the supply problem of the army will be solved, and by that time they will be trying to find a way to recapture Thundering City...... After all, there will be reinforcements coming from Roland 6, and it shouldn't be too difficult to take Thundering City by attacking from north to south......

Tiger held out for two days!

Within these two days, he ordered the army to forcibly attack the strong defensive line of the Empire of Light!

One infantry regiment after another rushed forward, and the people of the Empire of Light cowered in the defensive line, but they didn't fight! Tiger knew very well that the other party was also dragging time with him! Drag it until he couldn't support the retreat, then the other side won!

In front of the defense line of the Pamir Plains, the attacks of the Roland people were like a tide of waves, Tiger was ruthless, and he sent the elite troops of the Sauron Kingdom under his command, and he no longer cared about preserving his strength!

The Kingdom of Sauron is known as the strongest kingdom of Roland the Great 6, and its army is naturally much stronger than other countries!

Batches of soldiers left their lives in the trench in front of the Bright Empire's defense line, and gradually the trench was almost full of corpses!

And behind the defense line of the Bright Empire, in the camp of Duke Tulip's commander, Rand sat there depressedly, pulling his head hard.

He had been waiting in this stuffy tent for three days!, according to the Duke's orders, the faithful Rand did not go out a single step......

The generals of the army outside asked to see the commander-in-chief, and Rand pinched his throat and said, "No!"

Someone outside reported that the Roland people were attacking, and Rand pinched his throat and said, "Defend tightly!"

Someone outside reported that the opponent was attacking violently...... Before the other party could finish speaking, Rand yelled, "Go and ask Miro-sama!"

The onslaught lasted for two days - the intensity of the fighting had left no time for both sides to clear the battlefield, and countless corpses fell on the wilderness, layers of corpses that even stopped the Roland attack......

Tiger was in a state of extreme euphoria, he hadn't slept for two days, and if it hadn't been for his men to stop him, he would have rushed up with his sword and led people himself.

But two days later, the defense line of the Empire of Light was still solid, although a gap was broken through at noon, but in the end, the people of the Empire of Light blocked the gap with flesh and blood!

Tiger gritted his teeth and looked into the distance, his gaze did not stop at all on the dense corpses in the wilderness, but just looked coldly at the opponent's defense line......

It's almost! It's almost! The other party can't support it for long!

Tiger is very confident, although the opponent is well defended at the moment, but after all, no matter how strong the defense line on the plain is, it is not as strong as the strong city! After so many days of fighting, the opponent's losses must be very huge!

"Strong on the outside, strong on the inside!" Tiger gritted his teeth: "Just give me three more days...... Just give me three more days...... I'm going to break through here......"

"Three days ......," Tiger muttered to himself, and suddenly, he smiled...... The expression on his face was crushed, and there was a bit of madness, a bit of desperation, and a bit of nervousness in that smile......

Yes, three days!

But are those guys willing to believe in themselves, will they give themselves three more days?

After three days, the supply of the army will only be enough for less than five days! Although many troops have been lost in these two days of fierce attacks, Tiger believes that the other side has already inflicted heavy losses!

But the material consumption in the fierce battle is also good!

Those cowards won't give themselves another three days at all!

Even the temple's mage guards have insisted on retreating!

"Hahaha......" Tiger couldn't help but laugh wildly, and everyone behind him looked at his commander with surprised eyes, Tiger laughed worse than crying, and roared: "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Could it be that we have lost so many people here, and in the end we are just to retreat? Those temple guys are now so insistent on retreating, so why did they start this war!!"

The wolf of the northwest, Royanthal, who had pinned his hopes, Tiger had already been disappointed - what a steppe wolf, just an idiot!

What a steppe iron ride, but a bunch of waste!!

In the face of the defense of the Northwest Army, whose strength had been reduced to second-rate, he couldn't even move forward......

On the third day, Rand sat in the duke's tent and heard someone report from outside.

"It seems that the Roland people are retreating, what should we do?"

"Huh?" Rand jumped to his feet, and if he hadn't thought of the Duke's order in time, he would have almost screamed!

Desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart, Rand said in a hoarse voice: "Go and ask Lord Miro!"

Just as Tiger finally succumbed to the pressure and retreated together, the Holy Knights, who were only a few dozen miles away from Thundering City, finally broke through the strong defense line!

Five thousand Thor's whips were lost, and in the face of the opposing Holy Knights, who dismounted and held their shields and slashed swords, they stubbornly held on for six hours behind the rudimentary fortifications!

After all the arrows were fired, the soldiers finally picked up their scimitars and started hand-to-hand combat!

A battle between 5,000 men and tens of thousands lasted from evening to early morning!

Outnumbered, Thor's Whip did their job brilliantly, nailing tens of thousands of opposing troops to this line!

By the time the last of Thor's Whip warriors fell, there was not a single living Imperial soldier left on the entire battlefield!

At first, the men of the Holy Knights still adhered to the spirit of knighthood, and stopped harming the wounded and fallen soldiers of the other side - but soon they made a fatal mistake in doing so!

Even if the Thor Whip is seriously injured, as long as there is still a little ability to move, even the person lying on the ground will hold the leg of the enemy next to him hard, and then the companion next to him will take advantage of the struggle of the guy who was holding the leg, and cut it down......

In the face of this kind of enemy, even if the other party still has a breath, it is extremely dangerous!

The knights of the Holy Knights finally had to give up their chivalry! For any Thor's whip, whether he is alive or seriously injured, it seems that the safest way is to cut off the opponent's head, and after confirming that the opponent is really dead, people can rest assured!

One of the great knights leading the army had blood on his face, and the officer of the other party he had killed with his own hands just now was quite tenacious--compared to the commander of this Thor's whip, it seemed that the strength of that person had reached the level of the so-called fourth- or fifth-level warriors of these pagans, and if it was under normal conditions, when fighting with him, although he could defeat him, it might take a while--but when that guy fought with himself, he was already too badly injured! I only used six swords to pierce him in the chest......

But the great knight still suffered a great loss. Just when he pierced the opponent's chest with a sword, the enemy who had already been solved suddenly hugged him like a mad beast, the two scuffled and rolled on the ground, their helmets fell off in the chaos, and the other party actually opened his blood-red mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth and biting his face!

Although the guy died of all his strength in the end, the great knight's heart was still full of shock and horror!

Crazy! It's crazy! The bite just now, his tears almost hurt out, and he bit off a piece of flesh on his originally handsome face! If it weren't for the fact that the guy had lost his mind in his madness, he bit indiscriminately, and joined the bite on the veins of his neck......

He tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, covered the bloody wound on his face with one hand, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Forward! Forward! Advance immediately!"

Fear? Maybe it's not just fear!

More often than not, it was shock or surprise.

In the face of his own army of tens of thousands, behind such rudimentary fortifications, he actually held himself back for so long! And made himself pay such a heavy price!

The losses on both sides were almost one-to-one!

Although the combat power of Thor's Whip may be a little above that of the Holy Knights, but in the case of more fights and fewer fights, it should be the side with more people who has the upper hand!

The big knight threw the blood-soaked cloth on the ground, glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and said lightly: "Leave ten people behind...... Bury the bodies. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Whether it's ours or theirs, it's all buried!"

Yes, they are enemies, strong enemies. But at the same time, they are also worthy of respect!
