Chapter 7: The Rattlesnake Moves (Part II)
At most, the dying soldiers suddenly found a few more cold stars in their field of vision, and they didn't even have time to tell what they were, and the Grim Reaper took the lives of more than two hundred soldiers in an instant. Immediately afterward, a second rain of arrows fell on the city walls.
"Enemy attack-" Finally, an orc warrior on duty behind the wall noticed the soldiers on the wall and shouted loudly. As soon as the shouting began, at least a dozen or more arrow feathers landed on his chest, skull and other vital parts, and the body fell heavily under the house.
This was the real beginning of the battle of Hamburg - again by means of attack, except that the last attacker became the attacked.
Due to stage limitations, Chi Hanfeng has not had any battles to show his strength as a leading general before, so in most of the materials, Chi Hanfeng appears as a second ancestor who is lazy and a scoundrel (how is it so similar to Amy's information in the hands of Ye Jīng Ling? Maybe it's genetic...... It doesn't seem right, there is no blood relationship), and his evaluation of him is not even as high as that of Viscount Fan. It's a pity that the Phanos soldiers didn't send enough powerful informants in the Hami Kingdom, otherwise, the story of the "Imperial Millstone" might have made them correct their mistakes.
As soon as Chi Aotian, Horns, Da Qingshan and the others came out of the conference hall, the three of them looked at each other, and immediately ran back to the headquarters of the mercenary regiment to open the letterhead that His Excellency the General had specially cared for.
There were only a few words in the letter:
"The sound of the west is rippling, and the east of Hamburg is hit. Surprise soldiers descend at night and conquer them in one fell swoop. ”
In any battle, no matter how well the commander of the baton in the hands of the commander is, there must be a responsive general below, of course, if the next level needs to be the only general, it will be more ideal. Horns and Daqingshan are all such talents, Chi Aotian reacted slowly, and all he lacked was someone to help him pierce the window paper.
Not long after, Horns and Daqingshan Lianjue visited the Jīng Spirit Queen Ling Bao'er and asked Her Majesty that Her Majesty could send her subordinate Jīng Spirit Archers to participate in the battle. Horns even took great pains to tell the story of Miss Ying's previous battle on Xilin Island, and the story of three arrows in the vast night, of course, especially mentioning the life and death of the little mercenary group at that time, Miss Ying rode a wild vulture that she was not familiar with alone for the sake of pure love and her beloved boy, and even almost lost her precious life.
Girls are always easy to deceive, especially girls like Ling Bao'er who are just starting to fall in love, and they don't know what jealousy is, Horns is still a good storyteller, the story is not finished, Ling Bao'er has cried a mess, choked and said: "We must learn from Sister Ying, we must all participate in the war, although Brother Amy is not there, but we will definitely win." ”
The Jīng Ling clan is kind, and the elders hope that the Jīng Ling people can learn the art of war, and learning war in war is undoubtedly the most effective way, so for Her Majesty the Queen, who is still in her infancy, of course acquiesced in such a decision.
The small mercenary group in the defense of the ice port, the direct reduction of each unit is more than thirty percent, the vulture swordsman battalion is no exception and heavier, the soldiers of other battalions, after the war, have been treated, as long as the body is okay, they can return to the original unit, and the vulture swordsman should be its requirements for body balance, some fighters can not ride the vulture again due to some minor injuries, and have to transfer to other swordsman battalions. After three months of raising, the small mercenary group's vulture swordsman battalion was sharply reduced to 103 people, and as a last resort, the small mercenary group and other swordsman battalions recruited swordsmen who met the physical conditions to join, even including the swordsmen of the magic swordsman battalion, and the final number barely reached 130 people.
In the process, the vultures were unharmed, with good rations, a carefree life, a warm human house, and no natural predators. The number of vultures has swelled to over 840, and more than 450 of them can be mounted.
Both Horns and Daqingshan had seen with their own eyes the power of the jīng spirit archers riding on the vultures, and with so many vultures idle, it was impossible not to make a big use of them.
As the rear army of the Dìdū expeditionary corps, the small mercenary group did not move the gods and brought 600 jīng spirit archers and 10 jīng spirit archers out of the capital in the ranks, and Her Majesty the Queen mixed into the steppe jīng spirit archers and followed. When the vulture was just at dawn, the small mercenary group quietly gathered 30 kilometers northwest of Dìdū by taking advantage of the opportunity given to the vultures every morning.
Subsequently, in addition to Sha Ruo, Lin Yusheng and the two armies of vulture swordsmen, the other units belonging to the small mercenary group continued to advance westward for a day, and immediately adjusted their direction to the northwest and inserted them, and there were several armies of vultures in the sky monitoring the ground at any time, and once they found pedestrians, they were immediately captured and handed over to the dìdū swordsman battalion behind the rear army to guard. There is Chi Hanfeng's upper sword, and the officers and soldiers of the rear army are quite good at executing the military orders from the small mercenary group - after all, there has been a precedent before a certain nobleman was killed on the spot by the chief officer of the small mercenary group for not obeying the order, and at this time, no one is willing to use their necks to test the sharpness of the legendary sword from the creation god in the hands of the mercenaries.
More than 600 forest jīng spirits tested the vultures for two consecutive days in the mountains west of Dìdū, and focused on night riding and shè strikes, and more than 10 elders also tried to cast magic on the vultures. Two days later, the jīng spirits who passed the assessment rode the vultures to chase the group, and those who failed the assessment returned to dìdū overnight - in large part because of their weight.
The Night Raid plan was the brainchild of Horns and Daqingshan.
In fact, on the eighteenth day of the third month of the Magic Calendar, the small mercenary group was already lurking in the grove 20 kilometers southeast of Hamburg. According to the plan, during the day on March 19, more than 300 mercenaries of the Fencer Battalion will quietly sneak behind a small slope only 3 miles away from the city of Hamburg, and at night, within two hours, more than 300 people wearing white ferret fur cloaks must touch only 300 meters from the Hamburg city wall, and 500 meters away, the Magic Swordsman Battalion and the Prairie Jīng Spirit Archer Battalion must also be in place. At 4 o'clock in the second half of the night, the first wave of attacks was launched by the vulture jīng spirit archers and magisters.
However, something happened outside of Horns's plan, and on the night of March 18, a golden dragon flew over the heads of the small mercenary group and its subordinate troops, and the dragon apparently discovered something, lowered its flight altitude and wandered around the grove three times in a row.
Daqingshan and Horns' faces became iron-blue.
