Chapter 159: First Encounter
Cuarón is very cautious, and although he does not believe that his army will fail, he still has to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
This tactic of the Terrans is called Fortified Castle Kiyono, and Caron once saw it in an ancient soldier's book.
If the human race has confidence and directly occupies Xidu County, it will save a lot of things and get a piece of land.
However, the Terrans worked hard to empty Xidu County, that is to say, the Terrans themselves did not have the confidence to defend Xidu County, so they would choose this method.
"Third Elder, have you made a decision?" Thomas, who had not spoken, asked.
"Divide the two-day grain into five days for three days, and if you can't attack Qiuhe County, retreat immediately." Caron nodded.
"The siege equipment and light boats prepared by Ferry City have all been destroyed by the Terrans, and it will take some time to rebuild." Carmon sighed slightly.
Caron has already made a decision, and now he can only discuss the proposition of attack.
"I'll leave this task to Carmon, and give you a day and a half to build enough light boats and siege ladders for me."
Caron stared at Carmon with an unusually serious expression.
"Order, I'll do it." Carmon's words fell, and he didn't care about any rest, so he immediately left the council hall, gathered the 50,000 troops of Nanhe County, and rushed to Ferry City.
"Thomas, Cayun, and Northon, lead the Knights and guard the river crossing to prevent the Terran raid." Cuarón then commanded Thomas, Cayun, and Northon.
"Yes!" The three responded in unison and left separately.
Cuarón and Kaman glanced at each other, neither spoke, and left the chamber together.
In the city of Xidu, the army is gathering.
Looking at everything in front of him, Caron's heart fluctuated inexplicably, the last time a big battle of this scale was launched, wasn't it the battle when the Lance family took over Nanhe County.
Before you know it, the Lance family has been silent for decades, and it's time to show their fangs.
……
In River City, the time migration brought back the movements of the Lance family's army.
Zhang He had already set it up.
A large number of horses were placed along the river, and 10,000 unicorn spearmen patrolled in shifts day and night.
Although Dahe City is not a closed city, the river hundreds of meters wide is also a natural barrier, especially when the enemy lacks the means to cross the river, the pressure on defense is greatly reduced.
The Knights of House Arthur were the first to arrive, but instead of attacking rashly, they lined up on the banks of the river to fight against the Kirin.
Zhang He divided the Xuanwu Army and the Suzaku Army into two, and was responsible for guarding the wooden bridge in shifts.
In the afternoon, Carmon led 50,000 soldiers from Nanhe County to Ferry City, paused for a short time, and immediately mobilized the whole army to collect timber to build light boats and siege equipment.
Zhang He did not send greedy wolf cavalry to harass him, not to mention the loss of troops in vain if he failed, even if he succeeded, he would retreat the enemy army, which was not in line with Zhang He's tactics.
Moreover, the fifteen thousand Green Goblin knights on the other side are not a joke, and the greedy wolf cavalry is not the opponent of the Green Goblin knights.
Since the enemy army wants to build siege equipment and river crossing boats, let them build them, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for the enemy army.
In the evening, Caron also rushed to Ferry City with a main army of 100,000.
The confrontation between the two armies immediately escalated.
Caron led an army of 100,000 across the riverbank, and his posture was extremely high, revealing the appearance of a great family.
"Listen to the Terrans on the other side, I am the third elder of the Lance family in Valan Province!"
"I advise you not to make useless resistance, your enemy is hundreds of thousands of elites of the Lance family!"
"Make way for our army at once! Our army is only here to take Shanhe County! If you surrender, you will be forgiven for your capital offense! ”
……
Caron drove his horse to and fro along the riverbank, lobbying loudly, but soon he realized that something was wrong, and the Terrans on the other side were like stakes, and no one cared for him.
With the extraordinary strength of the Golden Rank, Karon's eyesight is very good, and he can even clearly see that those Terran soldiers guarding the coast have a special meaning in their eyes.
Like, like looking at a fool!
"Damn it!" Cuarón yelled.
Before it was nightfall, Caron immediately dispatched two silver-rank Green Goblin knights to lead 10,000 Green Goblin soldiers to launch a tentative attack from the wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge between the Great River Castle and the Ferry Castle is about five meters wide and is usually used for caravanserans, not for large armies.
Gao Ran was responsible for the defense of the wooden bridge, and when he found that the enemy had the intention of attacking, he immediately ordered Zhou Cang to lead two thousand Xuanwu to guard the bridgehead in a concave shape.
Zhang He ordered the Suzaku Army to stand still, and the 10,000 enemy troops should not expose the Suzaku Army too early, so that the enemy army could be prepared.
The current width can only accommodate ten people in parallel, and although the Green Goblin Clan dispatched an army of 10,000, only a few hundred Green Goblin clans could rush across the wooden bridge and fall into the pocket placed by Zhou Cang at the same time.
In the face of Xuanwu Chongbu's ironwood heavy shield and special big guns, these Green Demon soldiers didn't even hurt Xuanwu Chongbu's hair, leaving more than a thousand corpses and retreating in defeat.
A group of high-ranking members of the Lance family gathered on the high ground on the riverbank to observe the Terran military formation.
"The three elders, the spear and shield soldiers of the human race, are extremely restrained by our knights, judging by their combat strength, they should be epic-level troops." Thomas didn't take the Terrans seriously in the first place, but now it has changed.
"If the wilderness fights, do you have a chance of winning?" The battle to cross the river is not where the Knights come in.
"I'm afraid I'm going to fall behind." Thomas didn't dare to hold it up.
The reason why the knights are strong is because of the power of the knights charging into the formation, but the spear and shield soldiers of the human race minimize the power of the knights charging into the formation, and may even make the knights suffer from the charging formation.
Cuarón remained silent and eventually ordered the withdrawal of the troops.
Back at Ferry City, Caron couldn't think about it.
It was fast in the middle of the night, and Caron had insomnia, so he simply gathered a large army overnight.
This time, Caron directly sent Kayun to lead five thousand knights.
Zhang He had long expected such a move, and specially instructed Gao Ran to retreat the defense, and as a result, Ka Yun led five thousand knights through the wooden bridge smoothly.
Kayun, who was ecstatic in his heart, immediately sent a secret message to Caron on the other side, informing the army to cross the bridge.
In the next moment, countless arrows pierced the night, drowning Kayun and the five thousand knights.
"Not good! There is an ambush! Kayun exclaimed.
Although he was very uneasy, but now there was no retreat to speak of, Kayun roared wildly, leading five thousand knights all the way forward.
Only rushed out of more than 100 meters, in the night, Ka Yun saw countless rejected horses blocking the way, and hurriedly reined in the war horses, but the knights in the rear did not know, and suddenly hundreds of green demon knights were overturned by the rejected horses.
As soon as more than a thousand Qilin spearmen swarmed up, they captured hundreds of Green Goblin knights, and Kayun saw this and immediately led the remaining knights to break through to the right.
At this time, Pan Zhang, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and the four generals led the Qilin spearmen from all directions to surround and kill Kayun and the other knights.
Kayun was shocked when he saw this, he didn't get the credit, and he even had to fold it himself.
"Retreat!" Before the enemy situation was known, Cayun roared, ordered the withdrawal of the army, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the riverbank.
It's just that at this time, a group of Green Goblin knights have fallen into a heavy encirclement, how can it be so easy to break through.
Ka Yun, who was very anxious, caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye, and raised his knight's sword to block reflexively.
"Boom"
A devastating gravity directly blasted Kayun out of the warhorse.
In the distance, it was Han Dang who made a move.
With a successful blow, Han Dang hung the Shen Yin Treasure Bow on the saddle, drove the Nine Shadows War Horse to rush forward, fell into the battlefield, and shot at Ka Yun.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! Ka Yun spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, scolded wildly, and surged wildly, blasting away more than a dozen Qilin spearmen who surrounded and killed.
"Intercept the sea and fight against the water gun! - Han Dang burst into a shout, the spear shook, and the monstrous waves swept towards Ka Yun.
As soon as Kayun saw the approach, he knew that he had encountered a great enemy, and he did not dare to slack off and resist with all his might.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than 20 years, and Ka Yun resisted more and more hard, and was finally picked off by Han Dang's knight's sword with a shot.
Han Dang controlled the Nine Shadows War Horse to rush forward, and Ka Yun, who lost his weapon, was stepped on the chest by the hooves of the Nine Shadows War Horse, and before the surging Ka Yun got up, Han Dang had already stabbed him in the chest with a spear.
"The enemy is dead! Surrender or kill! Han Dang provoked Kayun and shouted loudly.
At this time, Kayun was not dead yet, and was picked up in the air by Han Dang, letting out a painful scream.
More than 4,000 Green Goblin knights were surrounded and killed by the Qilin spearmen, only half of them were left, and seeing that the enemy army was strong, Kayun broke down, threw away their weapons one after another, dismounted and surrendered.
On the other side, Karon received a secret signal from Kayun and immediately commanded the army to cross the bridge.
As a result, they were resisted by the Xuanwu army, and more than 10,000 Green Goblin soldiers were blocked on the wooden bridge and could not advance an inch.
At this time, Karon didn't know that the Terrans had already taken precautions.
However, Cayun fell into the opposite bank, and Caron had to take care of it, and forcibly ordered the army to continue the attack.
The two armies then fought at the bridgehead, and the battle was fierce at first, but the two sides could not go on just fighting, and the bridgehead was such a big place, and it was not a place for the army to fight at all.
The Green Goblin soldiers couldn't break through the Xuanwu Heavy Steps' defenses, and when the corpses of the Green Goblin soldiers piled up the bridge, the Green Goblin soldiers behind them couldn't advance, and in desperation, Caron had to order the withdrawal of the army.
Leave behind the corpses of Green Goblin soldiers.
The army withdrew, but Caron was still unwilling, and did not lead the army back to Ferry City, but stayed on the bank of the river.
waited until the second half of the night, the other side of the river had completely stopped moving, and Kayun had not been able to come back.
A gold-tier transcendent, five thousand knights!
Although he knew that the hope was very slim, Caron still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Kayun would lead the five thousand knights to successfully break through.
At this point, Caron also understood that this group of Terrans was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and a surprise attack was not advisable.
In the Terran army, at least it has extraordinary combat power that can leave behind the golden level!
It is necessary to raise a large army and cross the river to attack.
Exhausted, Caron immediately ordered the army to return to the camp.
