Chapter 32: Chess is a good move

readx; The hand-to-hand combat in the room also came to an end, and the deputy captain of the swordsman battalion, Dark Qiusheng, played a decisive role, a thin sword had the charm of Chi Aotian, the bald-tailed dragon knight was rolling on the ground, each sword was stabbed out at a height of 30 centimeters below the ground, and each sword must be hit, although this kind of stabbing sword would not immediately cause fatal damage if it could not be stabbed in a specific position, but it pressed the guards and had to take two steps back in all directions, just these two steps were enough for Chi Aotian to dodge the door, and the dark red sè long sword continuously slashed the two shields and the guards behind the shields。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lingyun clean up here, and the others capture Ray Barton alive!" Chi Aotian endured the severe pain, his long sword tore the two scimitars to pieces, and he didn't stop a step and pounced on the room that blew out the lights just now.

Chi Aotian and Hu'er both roared like two fierce tigers and rushed into the inner room.

At this time, the eastern sky was already clouded and white, and although there was no light in the room, it could already be seen clearly. On the table was a map spread out flat, a cup of tea, and a hand shield hanging on the wall, with a sword or scimitar on the side of the hand shield, which had been removed.

However, there was no one in the whole room!

On the north wall of the west side of the room stood a large wardrobe more than one person high, and the door of the wardrobe was ajar, and a cold wind rushed out of the wardrobe. Chi Ao Tianhong's long sword slashed three or four times in a row, and the entire wardrobe was removed, and a half-person-high hole was revealed behind the wardrobe, black rumbling.

Chi Aotian lowered his head and rushed in, Hu Er pushed it diagonally from behind, Chi Aotian still had a wound on his leg, and almost fell to the ground, Hu Er blushed, and said angrily: "Deputy head of the regiment, this opportunity must be given to me, don't rob me." ”

After saying that, he lowered his head and dodged into the hole, which was all made of stone—no wonder it was possible to make tunnels in such a shallow place along the Sangan River.

Just after taking a few steps, there was a downward bend, and as soon as Huerdu jumped down, a cold light rushed from the opposite side, and the speed was so fast that Huerdu couldn't react at all, and a one-and-a-half-foot-long crossbow bolt shhe entered from his left shoulder, and he nailed Huerdu to the wall. After Hurdu snorted in pain, he heard the sound of bowstrings and arrows breaking through the air from the opposite side.

The speed of the arrow exceeded the sound of the bowstring vibrating for so long, which only meant one thing, the position of the crossbow would not be more than 20 meters away from Hur.

Huerdu gritted his teeth, and his young body slammed forward, and three arrow feathers flew out of his back with blood flowers, and hot blood spurted out from the front and back openings.

The boy was just about to walk forward, but two more people jumped out of his head. The moment they landed, the two of them chanted in a low voice at the same time, and boom, two fist-sized wizard fires began to flicker in the burrow. They are two dragon knights from the Demon Swordsman Battalion, Yod and Minrui.

"You're hurt? keen, you take care of Khurdu. With that, Yod rubbed sideways against the wall past Khurdu and continued to rush forward.

The bowstring on the opposite side is ringing again!

Yod had already seen the bloody arrow feathers on the wall just now, and when he saw that the figure on the opposite side seemed to be shaking, he screamed and fell to the ground. In this way, the speed was still slow, and the rapid crossbow bolt opened a half-foot-long blood groove on the little boy's back, revealing the white bone stubble.

Kei was leaning sideways to support Khurdu, standing up to the sound of the news, subconsciously bowing his head, this crossbow bolt from the little boy's left cheek shè into the right cheek shè, nailed to the wall! The wizard's fire was immediately dispersed, and the three boys stood close to the wall, cold sweat dripping down layer by layer. At this time, the three teenagers from the military families of the frozen continent remembered a sentence that their fathers often said a long time ago: "The most humble slave, armed with a crossbow arrow, can murder the most noble knight." ”

Chi Aotian didn't know that in such a few minutes, the three dragon knights below were all injured.

Qu Jianhong was covered in blood, holding his wrist shield and carrying a war hammer, and rushed into the house with a murderous spirit, and when he heard Chi Aotian's words, he threw the war hammer into the ground - this kind of long weapon with a horse is obviously not suitable for use in the tunnel. Pulling out the short blade from his boots, he rushed into the black hole with his wrist shield raised. Hurdu reminded below: "There is a crossbow on the other side, don't come down and die!"

Qu Jianhong snorted coldly, jumped down, held his wrist shield flat, and confessed: "You all go up, change the phantom beast knights in the army, and all wear wrist shields...... Go to the wall outside the house to see if there are any good hand crossbows, and bring them all......"

As he was talking, the figure on the opposite side flickered, and boom, another crossbow bolt shè on Qu Jianhong's wrist shield, the shield with wood in the inner skin and steel on the outside was almost pierced by the triangular arrow tip, the steel tip was on the leather surface, and Qu Jianhong could feel that the skin of his arm was scratched with blood marks in the shaking.

Qu Jianhong was even more shocked into a cold sweat, this kind of crossbow weapon is born to be the nemesis of knights.

Kurdu roared twice as he crawled out, and the knights outside hurriedly ran out to find a crossbow. After a while, more than a dozen of them were loaded, all loaded with crossbow arrows, and several young phantom beast knights jumped down with crossbows.

Three people in a group, three crossbows held flat, three wrist shields almost blocked the entire tunnel, and moved forward little by little. Before he had taken a few steps, there was a grunt, and the knight in front of him was weak, and he fell into a pit more than half a man high, and let out a miserable scream.

There is no way to pursue it further, I don't know how many such traps there are in front of me, and I don't know how many crossbows the other side has. It's a pity that I didn't bring the big pangolin knight here, otherwise there would have been two more caves like this, and they would have been dug upside down. Qu Jianhong spat at the mouth fiercely: "Retreat!"

After they all crawled out, they found that the phantom beast knight who had fallen into the trap had been pierced with more than a dozen half-foot-long steel chisels.

Ji Aotian smashed the table to pieces with a hard punch. Everything seemed to go well, but it was at the end of the door that it took a little time for Earl Raybaton to seize the opportunity to escape.

Qu Jianhong's decision was right, Chi Aotian looked at the injuries on the three of Huerdu, Kei, and Yode, and was a little afraid. If you really lose a few dragon knights in this battle...... Even if Ray Barton is caught, the gain outweighs the loss. The weight of the three dragon knights in any country is higher than that of an average general.

Even Amy couldn't have imagined that Ray Barton would keep such a hand.

In fact, the Big Four of the Little Mercenary Group took Earl Ray Barton too lightly, and repeated defeats in head-to-head battles did not mean that Lord Earl was incompetent. With the strength of a hinterland theater like Sanganhe, which ranks low in the seven major theaters of the empire, it has been able to resist the watery offensive of the small mercenary group for more than half a year, which can already show the command skills of Count Raybaton. Moreover, no one should ignore the fact that while fighting the small mercenary group to the north, Count Raybaton is also fighting against the Alcatraz Legion on the south bank of the Sangan River and the Jungle Knights of the Boundary Forest Theater. During the entire War of the Gods, the generals in the war zone who can do this will not exceed the finger number of two slaps. At least, Chi Aotian was far from Earl Ray Barton in this regard.

Da Qingshan watched Chi Aotian and the others rush into the general's mansion in the air, and there was no news about it, knowing that he must have encountered an unsolvable problem, he immediately found a vulture spirit knight to report to Amy.

Amy couldn't see the signal from the sky, and guessed that something must be wrong, and maybe Earl Raybaton simply spent the night in the barracks. Amy and Grand Duke Lantian immediately rushed directly to the barracks with the knights, and as a result, the chaos in Bahrain City had attracted the attention of the barracks, and Earl Ray Barton had made special arrangements before, hundreds of crossbow arrows and nearly a thousand longbows to force the Black Dragon Knights out of the ground.

An inky black horse rose from the barracks, and a young officer lifted his helmet: "The war of the country is strange and positive, with the right as the main and the strange as the supplement." It's a pity that Your Excellency Amy, the commander of your regiment, has repeatedly liked to solve military affairs with strategy since his debut, and this time, it's a pity that the Sanggan River Theater is now overwhelmed, otherwise, maybe...... Oh, it turned out that Lord Amy personally led the team. There was a smile on the young officer's face.

"Have we met?" Amy's current mount was borrowed from Chi Aotian.

"Of course, the battle outside the snow field is unforgettable. The Knight of the Black Pony arched his hand.

Amy also smiled: "I knew that Your Excellency was in the Sanggan River War Zone, maybe I would have to think of other more secure methods." Since they are all acquaintances, they always have to give each other three points of thin noodles. However, it has been almost ten years, and the first time I met Your Excellency, I was just the most ordinary little mercenary, and at that time, there were only two people in the small mercenary group. Back then, Your Excellency was already a celebrity of a certain gate lord of the empire, if I guessed correctly, it should be Lord Delaware. 10 years have passed, I am the general of the second largest war zone in the empire, and I am still the king of the empire, Daqingshan is also the duke of the empire, Lin Yusheng, who was chased by you for thousands of miles, is now His Majesty the Kingdom of the Eastern Magic Empire, and Sha Ruo is now the only god in the Huode Star Palace. Your Excellency, as an old man, I have to kindly remind you...... You're on the wrong side. Now, it's still too late, I don't know if you can give me three thin noodles, if you want to ......"

Arthur interrupted Amy's temptation with a long sigh: "I can't imagine that Your Excellency Amy cares so much about fame, it's really a pity for me." The great husband, born between heaven and earth, is worthy of conscience, although there are thousands of people, I go alone. Besides, Lord Amy must have never been to the Phanos continent, so we don't have a fundamental common language. ”

"Forget it, I look forward to the next meeting with Your Excellency. Amy smiled and waved her hand: "Although Your Excellency is not nostalgic, I still want to give Your Excellency face." The whole army has it, retreat!

There are six brigades of regular troops stationed in the barracks outside Bahrain, with a total of about 15,000, even if the Black Dragon Knights are sharp, even if the Dragon Knights and Phantom Beast Knights are brave, it is impossible to defeat 15,000 with 3,000, even if the army of Sanggan River is not as good as the four major Jingrui Knights in other war zones, but it is not worse than 1 to 5. What's more, Raybarton knew the flaws in the configuration of the troops, so he deployed a large number of various crossbow arrows. If it weren't for the fact that the knight force was only about 5,000, it would have been possible for the Sanggan River Theater to take this opportunity to wipe out the two brigades of the Black Dragon Knights in one fell swoop.

"Go back and say hello to Lord Ray Barton, thank you for helping us trick the Pirate Skeleton Legion out last time. Amy smiled and waved her hand, and added: "Actually, our operation this time is entirely for Your Excellency's consideration, if Ray Barton is killed or captured because of this, Your Excellency may have the opportunity to take charge of a war zone by himself." ”

This rapping guy. Arthur was a little sorry for lifting the mask, and he didn't know what kind of look he would have on his face. With a wry smile, the Black Pony Knight pulled down his face again.

The raiding force regrouped 20 miles east of Bahrain, and Amy saw that several dragon knights who were seriously injured also had a hint of fear - the generals of the seven major theaters of the empire were really not easy to deal with, and it really fulfilled the old saying: a thousand miles of mistakes.

"Now that it's out, when you return, it's better to see which city's defenses have loopholes, just grab one or two, and it's better to return empty-handed. The young general Qu Jianhong couldn't afford to kill, so he was on fire and drove his mount to make suggestions.

Amy smiled bitterly in her heart, now that the Northern Theater has been stretched in terms of troop allocation, and is facing pressure from several directions at the same time, what is the use of so many cities? Alas...... Although he has experienced a hundred battles, although he is unstoppable, although he has taken the head of a general in a million troops, he is still a young man after all. At this time, Amy really missed the old men like Chi Hanfeng, Lin He, and Ta Yang, who had never met at all.

When Grand Duke Lantian heard such a suggestion, he was also a little crying and laughing. It's not the pre-war now, the generals of the war zone will be severely punished if they lose the city, the war has long been thrown into chaos, and anyone in power knows the importance of preserving strength. Moreover, the small mercenary group will soon face the invitation of the Pirate King family, if it can use three or four cities to consume the sharp energy and combat power of the small mercenary group, whether it is General Ray Barton or the people in power in Scambrai, they are very willing to see such a thing.

However, since Qu Jianhong has already opened her mouth, Amy really can't refuse directly: "In this way, Your Excellency and Elder Qingluo will lead their subordinates to inspect the cities along the coast." If there are really cities that have been negligent in defense, they can wait for an opportunity to capture one or two cities. If the defenses are tight, forget it. Now the war has not reached the point where human lives must be filled. ”

"Yes!" Qu Jianhong immediately whistled a few times, pulled the war hammer in the air with two hammer flowers, and led the knight troops of the two brigades to kill the southeast with a murderous spirit.

Seeing the young Grand Duke of his age, Prancing Horse and leaving, Amy asked the Grand Duke of Lantian "How many cities do you think the Black Dragon Knights are likely to take?"
