Chapter 232: The Great War Breaks Out
readx;
With all his swing of his wings, Han Fei rushed into the sky at an extremely fast speed, merging with the Fire Phoenix Sky Cavalry that had risen into the air in advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Fire Phoenix Air Cavalry Regiment belongs to the Fire Phoenix Legion, has an extremely long history, and is one of the top ten famous air cavalry regiments in the Glow Empire, it is famous not only because of its strong strength, but also because of its strong strength, the most important thing is that all the main air knights of the Air Cavalry Regiment are all beautiful female knights, and they are driving the fifth-order spirit beast Flame Phoenix Bird!
The appearance of the Flame Phoenix Bird is somewhat similar to the phoenix in Han Fei's mythology in his previous life, with a bird head, snake neck, eagle claws, wide back, and red feathers all over its body, its body is slender and beautiful, and its wings are more than ten meters long!
The Flame Phoenix Bird's weight-bearing ability is not strong, but its flight speed is extremely fast, and it is good at using fire-based spells to attack the enemy, and it has the ability to protect against fire-based spiritual power, and its combat power is definitely above that of a griffin. However, the number of flame phoenix birds is scarce, it is difficult to tame, and it will only become comrades with beautiful women, and the entire fire phoenix air cavalry group only has one hundred and twenty fire phoenix air horses.
In order to make up for the lack of numbers, the Fire Phoenix Air Cavalry Regiment also has a guard air cavalry battalion, consisting of three hundred griffin air horses and Thunder Eagle air horses, and joining the guard air horse battalion is the dream of many excellent male air knights, because this can make it easier to get close to the proud Fire Phoenix Sky Cavalry.
In this battle, all members of the Fire Phoenix Air Cavalry Regiment were dispatched, and with the strong support of the Xiangfeng Air Cavalry Regiment, the task was to protect the sky of the fortress and reinforce the main interception force at any time.
The main force of the Red River Fortress and the reinforcements from Yanjing left the fortress early in the morning, because the scout air cavalry spotted the movement of the barbarian air cavalry in an area of the God of War Mountain Range that was only fifty kilometers away from the fortress.
Han Fei went straight into the air, and soon caught up with Feng Qingyin at the front, the other party was riding on a golden phoenix bird, wearing red armor and holding an air riding spear, looking extremely heroic.
Feng Qingyin's mount is a sixth-order phoenix bird king, and it is also the soul and core of the entire Fire Phoenix Sky Ride.
"Why are you here?" asked Feng Qingyin with a slight frown.
Han Fei said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I went to the weapon workshop to get the weapon, which Master Dumenka built overnight. ”
As he spoke, he took the Modao out of the Ring of Acceptance.
Seeing the fierce and incoherent long knife in Han Fei's hand, a trace of surprise flashed in Feng Qingyin's eyes: "What kind of weapon are you? I've never seen it before." ”
With Feng Qingyin's gaze, of course, she could see the strength of Han Fei's Mo knife, she just didn't expect that the war knife could actually be made into this style.
"It's a long battle knife, it's me, it's my own design..."Han Fei smiled and said.
Hearing that it was Han Fei's own design, Feng Qingyin's eyes were even more surprised, but she didn't ask much when the big battle was imminent, she just nodded and continued to fly forward.
In just one minute, the Fire Phoenix Sky Cavalry flew over the fortress city wall, and put on a defensive posture here.
Han Fei overlooked the canyon fortress from hundreds of meters in the air, and the battle formation situation of the two sides was clear at a glance.
At this time, the sun in the east gradually rose into the sky, the mist that permeated the canyon dissipated, and the siege army of the barbarians was completely revealed.
In the canyon that is more than ten kilometers wide, tens of thousands of barbarian legions have discharged the formation of attack, dozens of huge siege vehicles are slowly moving forward in the military column under the pull of the dragon of the batch of armor, followed by hundreds of catapults, barbarian spearmen, axe and shield men, and archers lined up in a neat queue, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people shook the earth, making the entire canyon tremble.
A few kilometers away, is the Red River Fortress high and wide fortress wall, made of boulders before and after the two nearly 30 meters high city wall is the most solid protective barrier of the fortress, under the first wall to the canyon extended nearly a thousand meters away, even in the air can be seen countless white bones, this section of the soil is a dark red color.
A rainbow-like spiritual protective barrier rises from the city wall, and all the spiritual towers near the city wall shine with colorful light, and they send out the spiritual power they usually accumulate through the giant spiritual magic array buried under the fortress, without the protection of this protective barrier, no matter how high and strong the city wall is, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of the enemy's high-level warriors and wizards.
In the offensive and defensive battles of the fortress, due to the existence of the spiritual protective barrier, the power of the mage and the wizard retreated to a purely defensive position, because the spell bombardment did not play a role here, the mage's spell could be dispelled by the wizard, and the wizards did not want to break through the giant spiritual barrier.
The real decision is still the warriors and warriors, the barbarian warriors and warriors have a lot of advantages over the human race, but the garrison has a numerical advantage in defending the fortress, so the Red River fortress has never fallen for a hundred years, and has the reputation of not falling into the fortress.
And today, the army of barbarians is back!
In the sky above the barbarian siege legion, there are also a large number of empty horses, mainly Black Hawk Sky Riders and Griffin Sky Horses, and the presence of several Sky Warriors can be vaguely seen.
The garrison of the Red River Fortress and the barbarians have been at war for nearly a hundred years, and it can be said that the two sides are very familiar and understanding, and the air cavalry is the most elite force and not a consumable, so even if the enemy is right in front of them, they will not immediately enter the battle, and they are mainly responsible for covering and deterring, and only attack at critical moments.
Woo!
The majestic trumpet sounded, and the vanguard of the barbarian legion stopped about a kilometer away from the fortress, and the battle flag waved, and all the barbarian warriors stopped, as if waiting for something.
The sound of the horn suddenly stopped, and the Red River Gorge suddenly fell into a dead silence, but the atmosphere of the battle became thicker and thicker, and the tension was breathless.
"Prepare for battle!" a garrison commander standing on the walls of the fortress drew his knight's sword and let out a thunderous roar.
As if suddenly come to life, a heavily armed warrior rushed to the city wall, stood behind the protective battlement wall, and one after another heavy crossbows were wound up under the crossbowman's control, and the crossbow arrows the thickness of a baby's arm were condescendingly aimed at the barbarians in the distance.
At the back of the wall, hundreds of catapults pulled up levers, and heavy stone bullets were lifted onto the concave pockets, waiting for the commander's final orders.
As the garrison prepared to engage in battle, a lion warrior rode out of the barbarian legion array, and the knight on the lion's back held a cavalry spear in one hand and a battle flag in the other, and the light of fighting spirit shone on the tip of the spear.
He rushed forward about five hundred meters to the middle of the legion and the city wall, and suddenly slammed the battle flag into the ground, and the flagpole of the battle flag was immediately inserted into the dirt.
"Roar!~"
The knight slammed his right fist into his chest and let out a thunderous roar towards the fortress, which was a unique challenge for the barbarians!
At the sound of his roar, the army of tens of thousands of barbarians suddenly moved, and the riders whipped the bare buttocks of the Earth Dragons with leather whips, forcing them to pull the siege engines and catapults forward as fast as they could!
A battle of attack and defense of the fortress that was destined to be extremely tragic has finally begun, such a battle has happened many times in a hundred years, and today is not the first time and will not be the last, and it may not end until the blood of one side is completely drained.
When the two sides are about to collide violently, the air knights in the sky are still facing each other from afar, the life of each air knight is very precious, and the money required to cultivate a qualified air knight is enough to feed the population of a small town, whether it is for the garrison or the barbarians, this force will not be easily thrown into battle until the moment of life and death.
Of course, Han Fei understood this, but he wanted him to hover in the air and stare at the other party with wide eyes, feeling really unhappy, and his heart was burning with fighting intent, and his palms were itching for it.
The Mo knife in his hand seemed to be very sympathetic, and the blade trembled slightly and let out a low sound, as if he was thirsting for the baptism of blood.
Rumble!
When the siege vehicle of the barbarian vanguard army advanced to the place where the battle flag was flying, a catapult located behind the fortress wall let go of the mechanism, took the lead in throwing a stone projectile, flew high over the city wall and penetrated the spiritual barrier, flew through the air for hundreds of meters and then smashed heavily to the ground, then rebounded and continued to move forward, knocking over three or four barbarian warriors in a row, crushing them into pulp!
The launch of this catapult is a signal, and under its leadership, hundreds of catapults are in unison, and the flying stone projectiles weave a net of death in the air, looming towards the incoming enemy!
The squeaks of the shafts and the crossbows erected on the walls joined the chorus, and the weapons of war, crafted by the finest craftsmen, shone brightest.
The barbarian siege army was clearly prepared for this, and the huge iron-covered planks were erected, firmly blocking the attacks of stone bullets and heavy crossbows, and advancing as fast as they could.
But these baffles could not fully resist the bombardment from the fortress, and from time to time unlucky barbarian warriors were shot down or crushed to death, but the other warriors around them continued to move forward as if they were unseen, and the blood of their companions only made them burst into stronger fighting spirit.
When the barbarian catapult also entered the attack range, it immediately launched a counterattack without showing weakness, and the stone bullets thrown by both sides staggered back and forth in the air, and the garrison guarding the city wall also suffered casualties.
As the distance between the two sides advanced, the battle became more intense, stone bullets flew and arrows rained down, and a barbarian giant siege vehicle finally collapsed after receiving a dozen stone bullets and countless rockets in a row, and collapsed in a creepy creaking sound, and the barbarian warriors who were clinging to it were crushed to death and injured a large area, and the screams came one after another.
After paying the price of a large number of casualties, seven or eight scarred siege engines finally managed to cling to the edge of the city walls!
