Chapter 112: Evil Stars Descend from the Sky
"What?!, the enemy is coming?"
In the huge barracks, the first to rush out was not Chi Aotian, who was being knocked on the door, nor His Excellency Qingluo, who has always been known for his agility, nor Chang Qing, who was hot-tempered.
Next to Chi Aotian's house, there was a bang, and the leather single-push door was lifted into the sky like a piece of paper, and Qu Jianhong, who was dressed in black and armor, ran out with a roar.
The day before yesterday, Qu Jianhong was already able to get up from the bed, but unfortunately, whether it was Chi Aotian or Ta Yang, who behaved as a bird, they ignored his request to fight, needless to say that he was arranged to command his original subordinates, and both of them let him continue to recuperate with black faces. For a young officer like Qu Jianhong, the days of recuperating from injuries are really difficult, every day from morning to night, lying down, either in bed or in a swaying carriage, sleeping like this for more than 10 days in a row, Qu Jianhong sleeps every day with a headache.
Late at night, it was Qu Jianhong's freest time, the other officers were sleeping, ordinary junior officers didn't dare to care about him, His Excellency the captain was neatly dressed for the past two days, either going outside to follow the officers on duty to check the camp or to move around the house. As soon as he heard that there was an enemy outside, the young man couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed out with a bang, and then summoned the Earth Walking Dragon and jumped up.
Chi Aotian and the other officers hurriedly got up from the bed: "What's the matter?"
"Deputy commander, there are enemy troops 10 miles to the northwest, with a total of about 10,000 people, and they are killing us. ”
"Well...... Qu Jianhong, you command the soldiers on duty and your subordinates, immediately take part in the formation, don't let the enemy rush the formation, and I will arrive later. Chi Aotian saw that Qu Jianhong was already neatly dressed, and he also knew that his injuries were almost healed now. It's a pity that this is the Plains of Flowers, although there is a moon in the night sky, but human eyes can't see too far, if it's in the night sky of a big city like Scambrai, countless lights will illuminate the sky red, and Chi Aotian can now summon a dragon to contain the enemy from the sky.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Qu Jianhong roared: "Listen to my order, blow the emergency assembly order of the Black Dragon Knights." Quick!" After speaking, he rushed to the northwest gate with the captain of the sentry squad and more than 300 knights.
A terrible horn for an emergency assembly sounded in the camp, and a large number of senior officers rushed out of the room, shouting orders for their troops to assemble. Within three minutes, the several troops directly under the Black Dragon Knights had all assembled, and later, the two forces of the Little Mercenary Regiment had been assembled. Su Wen and more than 30 Northern Union soldiers roared loudly in their own camp, and the horsewhips in their hands kept whipping over the heads of the running Allied troops.
Identifying the quality of an army in such a state of emergency is undoubtedly the litmus test of the enemy's late-night attacks - most of the cases of late-night raids end in the victory of the attacking side, the fundamental reason for which the vast majority of the attacked defenders are killed in their sleep or in panic and running. More than 15,000 allied troops have a certain combat power in siege and even field battles, but in terms of dealing with this sudden change, there is not a little difference with the elite troops of the empire, Su Wen is not unaware of the gap, but he has been in a rapid march or a big battle, and it is impossible to spend time to train - even if he wants to do a few night trainings, he has to consider whether it will affect the rest of other armies and the next day's march.
At this moment, the northwest side has already shouted for killing!
Qu Jianhong didn't expect that the enemy would come up so quickly! As soon as he led the soldiers on duty to the north gate, the three forest elves on duty immediately reported: "General Qu, the enemy is already far away from us...... 1300 meters or so!"
"What?" Even though Qu Jianhong had been through a hundred battles, he was still shocked into a cold sweat. 1300 meters, what does 1300 meters mean in an army raid, three minutes to five minutes at most, the two armies will converge, and now the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be able to withstand the impact of the enemy at all.
On the plain of flowers, it is difficult to find trees, and when the expeditionary force camps, they can only dig the ground and raise the wall, according to the regulations of the imperial military department, the standard camping earthen wall is 3 meters high. In the past few days, continuous rapid marching, considering that the enemy is still hundreds of miles away, and the vulture knights in the sky are patrolling 24 hours a day, Chi Aotian only needs to raise 1.5 meters of the wall when he is allowed to camp - there is no way, if you want to maintain a high-speed march, this is an inevitable way, otherwise, the 20,000-strong military camp, digging the ground and raising the wall for 3 meters, at least 5,000 sergeants need to work for four hours. Usually they camp at 4 p.m., but now they camp at 6 or 7 p.m., and if all this work is done, the next day, the soldiers in charge of erecting the wall will not have to set off at all. The lesser of two evils is chosen by any officer.
It's just that no matter what, even this little negligence may be defeated in the blink of an eye.
In the breath, Qu Jianhong had already seen a longing black shadow in the distance from the corner of his eyes, the ground under his feet began to tremble gradually, and the earth wall in front of him fell earth foam, which shocked many officers of the Black Dragon Knights, and in this way, the soldiers who came from a distance still did not make a single sound.
How strong is this team?
Of course, Qu Jianhong knew the combat power of the allies, and the faces of these allies were no different from moonlight. At this time, the allies must still be in the chaotic assembly, perhaps, most of them don't even have shoes on, at this time, once the steel force in front of them is killed into the barracks, these allies are afraid that not only will they mess up the camp of the Black Dragon Knights, but may even completely bomb the camp, at that time, the army will definitely be defeated.
The young captain glanced left and right at the soldiers on duty around him, there were only more than 400 black dragon knights, and most of them were earth dragon knights and more than 1,000 allied soldiers, as well as a few dozen forest elves. His Excellency the Captain's face suddenly relaxed, he stretched his shoulders back vigorously, and took off his war hammer casually, and his clear and even beautiful voice exploded in the air: "Robes, strong enemies are ahead, for the prestige of the Black Dragon Knights for 500 years, for the supreme dignity of the Black Dragon Banner and the Winged Rattlesnake Banner, and for the prestige of the Black Dragon Knights' allied forces, I guarantee my honor with my name, my life, honor is our life!
"Honor is our life!Kill-" Hundreds of black dragon knights pulled down their black masks at the same time, and a low roar came from behind their masks. The killing aura infected the allies, and the soldiers, who had been weak just now, raised their weapons and roared together.
The moment the skeleton mask was pulled down by the young general, the black earth * Ben ignored the earthen wall in front of him and rushed out with a roar, and the earthen wall up to 50 centimeters thick collapsed in an instant.
More earth-walking dragons and war horses rushed out of the camp with a bang......
The enemy in front of him obviously didn't expect that he had been discovered so early, and the sneak attack turned into a frontal assault battle.
Regular soldiers must learn to cherish their physical strength and horsepower in the attack, and the sneak attack officer has obviously not yet given the order to finally charge, looking at the enemy roaring from the front, dozens of orders continue to sound among more than 10,000 soldiers: "Rush-rush-"
The two high-speed armies roared and crashed together like two huge waves that overwhelmed the mountains, and a moment later, countless black and red waves rose into the sky......
Qu Jianhong led the many knights behind him, like a tiger into the wolf pack, the enemy rushed to the front, it turned out to be all werewolf light infantry, in front of the black dragon knight with a tall horse, the werewolf light infantry camp with scimitar and short sword as weapons eroded half in an instant, the iron hooves the size of the war horse sea bowl and the sharp claws of the earth dragon became the most important weapon for killing, in the face of the joint charge of the elite knights, especially the earth dragon knights, the small wooden shield and the light leather armor could not provide any effective defense at all, and the flesh and blood were smashed into the sky。
The war hammer in the hands of the young Earth Dragon Knight swung rapidly in front of the horse, and there was no one in front of him, and even the steel shield with four spikes in his left hand became an effective tool to restrain human life, and every time he slashed, someone would inevitably fall down with his face covered with a scream.
"The enemy is nothing but Err. As soon as such a thought jumped out of Qu Jianhong's mind, a high wall suddenly appeared in front of him - in a few breaths, Qu Jianhong's subordinates who led the high-speed charge had already rushed out of the light infantry camp dominated by werewolves and killed the raider's headquarters.
"Your Excellency the General in front?" asked a one-armed officer on the other side, although his tone was jerky, but with the majesty of a soldier in a hundred battles.
"I, the Terminator you're waiting for!"
The Earth Dragon Knight, who was pitch black in front of the sneak attacker and only had a white skull on his face, did not pause at all, and even roared towards the legion commander with a huge mount, completely ignoring the fact that the knights behind him had not yet followed.
More than a dozen guards raised the iron shields in their hands and formed a thick shield in front of the one-armed officer, and more than a dozen maces with thick arms waved in the air.
The heavy war hammer in Qu Jianhong's hand roared through a semicircle in the air, slamming on the shield in front, in the night, red steel flowers splashed everywhere, no matter how strong the guards were, it was impossible to resist the impact of Qu Jianhong's heavily armored dragon knight, and no matter how strong Qu Jianhong was, the full armor of Qu Jianhong with a war hammer weighed 395 kilograms, the earthly dragon plate armor weighed 326 kilograms, the earthly dragon weighed more than 3500 kilograms, the total weight was more than 4200 kilograms, and the weight of more than 4200 kilograms of high-speed movement pressed up, plus the young knight's heavy hammer went down, and the tall heavy infantry who was facing this hammer paused on the spot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, The bones made a crisp sound, and the battle shield wrapped around the tall body and retreated, and the four or five large shields behind were suddenly knocked apart......
All the guards, including the one-armed general himself, did not expect that there would be such a fierce general among the human race, and immediately many tall hoplites shouted: "Protect the general!" rushed up, and at the same time, the knights behind Qu Jianhong also had about 100 horsemen to fight out of the encirclement and let out the same roar towards Qu Jianhong.
The heavy war hammer in Qu Jianhong's hand flew up and down, and the mace in the hands of the half-orc soldier in front of him was smashed and flew away in the clanging noise, and the four-inch-long black and yellow claws in the hand of the earth dragon struggled to pounce, leaving white light on the heavy shield of the half-steel, and the skin and flesh of the half-orc soldier were constantly rolled to the ground.
The one-armed general retreated under the escort of his own guards, and batch after batch of soldiers rushed up from the rear of the attacker, the black dragon knights, including Qu Jianhong, immediately felt the infinite pressure, and the level of these soldiers was almost the same as the heavy infantry brigade of the Black Dragon Knights, who had been battle-hardened for a hundred battles, and the knights were in groups of three or five, covering each other, wielding the war hammer or bayonet sword in their hands to fight with all their might, and there were also people who fell off the back of the dragon on horseback, during which some people roared angrily: "Your Excellency the general's martial arts are prosperous......
Qu Jianhong knew that these must be his direct subordinates, in the charge just now, in the face of several times the enemy, he couldn't expect the allied knights to break through the enemy formation in one fell swoop, and those who could kill here were definitely the elite of the Black Dragon Knights.
A murderous aura rushed to the head from the bottom of the young general's heart, I don't know what, the skeleton mask has disappeared, and the dirty blood drenched the young man from top to bottom, under the miserable white moonlight, the black-red knight and the black-red dragon beast swooped left and right, and the two pairs of blood-red pupils shimmered, like a ghost walking alone in the middle of the night!
Suddenly, the tall infantry around him dispersed to both sides, and Qu Jianhong finally joined his subordinates, at this time, there were less than 60 of the more than 400 knights of the Black Dragon Knights left.
On the opposite side, a group of infantry armed with long spears were replaced, long war spears! The experienced black dragon knights suddenly jumped twice in their hearts, whether it was for light knights or heavy knights, they would definitely pay a heavy price for the frontal clash with the spear infantry.
"Front-Moon Assault Array! Honor is our life. Qu Jianhong did not hesitate at all, and roared and waved the war hammer in his hand high in the air.
The Frontal Moon Formation is the only formation of the joint impact of the senior knights, with the strongest combat power appearing in the front and the Wing, hiding the weight in the Moon, and if someone in the Blade Knights falls, it will be replenished immediately from the Moon, and it can break through the thickest camp at the smallest cost.
Immediately, Qu Jianhong pulled the dragon beast and roared towards the enemy.
