Chapter 113: Tiger Descending from the Sky (Full)
"Your Excellency, I'll take the lead!" roared the knights.
"Quickly form an assault formation, you two will change the captain with me!" The rotating squad leader Johan'er was also fortunate to be here, seeing that the knights were about to mess up, he immediately roared at them and followed Qu Jianhong to form a large formation, and he quickly rushed up from the left with two war horse knights, hoping to put Qu Jianhong's red envelope into the assault array.
At a distance of 30 meters, there was no chance for Johan'er at all, Qu Jianhong had already led more than 40 knights to completely break into the spearman array, and countless long infantry spears rained out.
Qu Jianhong's steel shield resisted with all his might, and two or three spears let out a sharp cry and sparked across the steel shield, one of which hit his left shoulder heavily, although part of the strength had been eliminated by the steel shield, although the spear did not have the ability to penetrate the armor again, it still brought Qu Jianhong a hot pain. These soldiers did have above-level performance, such thoughts had just crossed their minds, and the war hammer in their hands had already swept through the heads, causing several soldiers in front of them to lose their heads, and the iron helmets landed with a loud sound.
The earth-walking dragon roared violently, Qu Jianhong swept it with the corner of his eye, and at the moment when he burst in just now, a spear stabbed from the side may have pierced the dragon armor - in order for the dragon beast to run quickly, the dragon armor could not be fully sealed like a human armor. The black liquid dispersed outward along the leaves of the dragon armor, and a faint white light occasionally leaked out from the dragon armor, which was the unique self-healing skill of the phantom beasts.
At this time, it was impossible to take care of so much, Qu Jianhong blocked left and right and smashed left and right like a tiger, leaving a mess behind him.
"General be careful!" Behind him a knight pounced, with his body to block a sideways stabbing spear, under the impact of great force, the spear instantly pierced the front and back armor, through the body, the knight plagiarized to the extreme, the long war hammer in his hand was thrown out, the enemy holding the spear smashed the brain, the knight behind the dragon saw that the knight was seriously injured, howled and rushed up to let the knight get on the horse, a large amount of blood continued to gush out from the majestic body, the knight fell on his back, the dragon leaned over and licked the knight's face with his tongue, as if he wanted to wake the knight from his sleep, four or five spears on both sides pierced the huge body of the dragon at the same time, and the dragon beast monster screamed and fell to the ground......
Another subordinate died for himself, Qu Jianhong let out an angry scream, kicked the dragon beast desperately with both feet, and the two front paws of the black earth dragon set off a wave of blood and kept breaking in at high speed, and more than 40 knights behind him kept falling, and someone immediately drove the mount to replace him from the small formation.
After Qu Jianhong murderously broke through the half-orc battle formation, the one-armed officer of Fanos was quite surprised - there was such a strong army among the human race! Previously, the small mercenary group in the battle of Xilin Island, with the strength of 600 people, penetrated the army of 10,000 people in one battle, after all, in that war, 50% The above Fanos army did not rush head-on with the small mercenary group, in the night, several chief officers of the small mercenary group created all the advantages of time and place, left and right, and finally escaped, that time, it was still the small mercenary group in the main attack, if you change the position...... In front of this unit, in the face of the enemy who attacked in the middle of the night, it was able to resolutely abandon the camp and break out of the camp.
What made the one-armed officer even more uneasy was that the sneak attack turned into a frontal raid, in order to deal with the thousand horsemen in front of him, after using werewolves and half-orcs in a row, he immediately called out the nemesis of the knight army - the human spearman thousand-man team, in the calculation of the one-armed general, no matter what, a thousand-man team will completely annihilate the few dozens of horses in front of him.
In the distance, countless lights flickered in the enemy's camp, torches danced briskly in the night, and the horns that resounded in the sky seemed to invisibly control many torches, or a word into a dragon, or a number of columns into a wall. Obviously, the enemy will seize this moment and pounce on them all.
Just when the one-armed general had already set his sights on the enemy who was already jumping out of the low wall, the thousand-man team of human spearmen in front of him suddenly disrupted - the joint charging knights led by Qu Jianhong were like a flat boat in the night, the tip of the black boat broke through the waves, and the battle formation composed of 1,000 human spearmen was broken through again in less than 10 breaths.
No one could have imagined that only more than 1,000 horsemen could bring such a heavy blow to the 10,000-strong team, one penetration, two defeats, and three blows, although only 33 knights finally killed the gun array, but the 33 horsemen who were dripping with blood and water all over their bodies still maintained a complete front-moon formation.
In military history, it is not uncommon for a small number of people to win more, especially when an elite cavalry unit is used to assault an ordinary infantry formation, hundreds of people will always roar and break through in one fell swoop! However, when an elite unit faces an elite unit, even if there is a considerable gap between the top officers of the two sides, such a thing cannot happen! The so-called elite troops must meet one condition -- in any case, the junior officers are the backbone of the army, and even if the senior officers are killed in battle, the elite troops cannot suddenly be defeated. The third legion of Fanos is such a force, although it is ranked third, but if the Fanos legion must be ranked in a priority order in the war of the gods, if the third legion thinks that it is second, then no other legion dares to pat its chest and say: Lao Tzu is the first in the world.
How could such an iron army of a hundred battles be broken through three camps in a row by dozens of horsemen?!
Norton, one of the "Guardian Shields of the Continent of Fanos", and one of the most important officers of Fanos in the late stage of the War of the Gods, commanded the Third Legion to fight raids.
The Western Emperor's staff base camp knows people well, otherwise he would not have let go of the 60,000 troops in the former army empire that was closer to the war, and mobilized the Norton army that had just come down from the Fenglong Platform from the northwesternmost corner - this was a conquest across the entire continent, and the distance measured on the map with a ruler was 2,800 li, and in these 2,800 li, including the most extensive forest on the continent of Eminole and two of the three widest rivers on the continent.
In 35 days, in only 35 days, Norton led the Third Army to cross 2,800 miles on the map, and miraculously appeared in the camp of the war cluster in the Phanos Flower Plain of the Sicilian River - a total of 5,608 people at the time of departure, a total of 5,582 people when they arrived, and the more than 20 soldiers who failed to reach their goal were all attacked and killed by poisonous snakes in the boundary forest, except for that, no one was left behind!
At this time, there were already more than 60,000 troops in the camp of the Phanos Flower Language Plains War Cluster. Among them, the three legions originally under the command of Monton, with a total of 20,000 people, the 3,000 knights of the Templar Order (legion-level establishment) who arrived at the same time a month ago, and the two legions that had just landed on the east coast with a total of 15,000 people also arrived here 15 days ago, and these two legions were scattered on the spot and added to the original four legions of Fanos (including the upcoming Norton legion, of course, the outstanding soldiers were picked up by the three legion commanders such as Monton according to the first-come, first-served rule), in addition, there were 4,000 knights of the Sweat and Blood Iron Cavalry Mercenary Regiment who had just arrived five days ago, and the 15,000 troops who had just finished training were two days later than the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Regiment。
The Norton Legion had only been repairing in the camp for three days, and the scouts of the Holy See sent emergency battle reports into the camp like raindrops--Chi Aotian actually led the army to suddenly change direction and kill all the way to the northeast--most of the officers did not expect such a change, as we all know, the most direct way for Chi Aotian to take revenge is also the purpose he has always claimed--to bloody the Holy See's headquarters Ulu! and Ulu is in the northwest of Chi Aotian's army. All the design and arrangement are arranged in this direction! Chi Aotian actually ......
Several of the supreme commanders in the Phanos Flower Language Plains War Cluster were shocked into a cold sweat - they couldn't see that His Excellency Chi Aotian, who seemed to be reckless, actually had such a strategy!
If it is an ordinary enemy, it will pass by at such a high speed, and let it go, but Chi Aotian can't do it! He is not a soldier, he is a vampire wolf with a bloody mouth! He is not only attacking the city and plundering the land, but more importantly, he is sucking the blood of the Holy See! As the Phanos army enters the hinterland of the Eminole continent step by step, the sea supply has become unrealistic, and since the fifth year of the magic calendar, the Holy See has become an important source of supply for the war. If Chi Aotian is allowed to pass like this, for another six months at most, the Holy See and even the entire Western Emperor Monarch will have no troops to recruit! No food to use! No salary to pay!
In order to force Chi Aotian here, His Majesty the Pope had no choice but to implement a scorched earth policy, and millions of residents were forced to relocate! If Chi Aotian was released, it would mean that the entire Holy See would be scorched earth!
Come to think of it, Chi Aotian also knows that the Fanos army must catch up with him!
However, Chi Aotian is cunning here, running east at high speed, and all the Phanos officers know that Chi Aotian's subordinates are 100% knights, and each knight is even equipped with two war horses! And the Fanos soldiers can't control any war horses because they have a natural beast-like killing aura on their bodies! They can't even control the Earth Walking Dragons -- has anyone ever seen a wild wolf riding a horse to hunt for food?
If he marched at a high speed of more than 150 miles every day, no matter what kind of pursuers would be dragged down and scattered! If he really did this, Chi Aotian must be happy to take advantage of the knight's high-speed movement, constantly setting up ambushes on the road, and eating the pursuing troops one by one.
To chase or not to chase?The Flower of Fanos, the Holy Dragon Knight Xiuda, and even the Grand Duke of the Iron Hand, the largest snake in the Flower Language Plain, bowed his head and remained silent. If you don't chase it, it's definitely impossible, and how can you chase it? Even the iron-handed barricade whose subordinates are all knights have to shake their heads slightly, and this difficulty can be imagined. Of course, the iron hand blocked the river and shook his head! The sweat and blood iron cavalry suffered a heavy loss in front of the same number of knights of the small mercenary group with a team of three thousand people, and the grand duke was distressed to death, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake, but now he faced all the men and horses of Chi Aotian and filled in all the more than 4,000 mercenaries in the hands of the grand duke...... Maybe it's not enough.
Just when a room full of senior officers were all overheaded, Norton, the one-armed general who had traveled thousands of miles to reinforce him, stood up silently—most people would have thought that this officer with a better temperament was human if it weren't for the typical garlic-nosed head of this young man. "Shall I try it?" said such quiet words in a semi-negotiable tone, but it made everyone feel the confidence that this handsome half-orc was bound to achieve.
In this way, Norton marched for 17 hours a day at an average speed of 160 miles a day, and rushed for four days in a row, and finally, before the Sicilian River, he caught up with Chi Aotian's army, and according to Norton's agreement with Monton, he would entangle Chi Aotian's army on the south bank of the Sicilian River for three days! The remaining 50,000 troops led by Monton must arrive on these three days.
Norton had wanted to sneak up on the night - it was impossible for the enemy to be on the road without getting tired, and this environment was almost set for a sneak attack. Moreover, Norton had great confidence in the sneak attack, and the Third Legion had spent most of the previous four days marching at night, and it was impossible for the enemy scouts to detect it.
Didn't expect it!
Looking at the iron-blooded general in front of him, Norton couldn't help but want to sigh like this! It's a small mercenary group again! In any war with a small mercenary group, none of the major legions of Fanos have won all of them, and even most of them have ended in a fiasco, I didn't expect that the deputy head of a small mercenary group, far away from the base camp of the small mercenary group, would be able to cause such a big trouble to the more than 40,000 strong troops of Fanos!
"Your Excellency's name?" Norton couldn't help but ask the name of the enemy general again.
"The deputy general under the command of General Aotian, the second son of Tongyun Guanchimen, and the captain of the Earth Xinglong Brigade of the Black Dragon Knights, Qu Jianhong. Which general is Your Excellency?" In the bloody battle just now, the young captain had a very high evaluation of the combat power of the army in front of him, and his words were also much more polite.
"Norton, Commander of the Third Army in the Western Theater of Operations. The one-armed general said word by word.
Qu Jianhong could even feel the exclamations coming from the mouths of more than 30 robes behind him! Is he one of the most famous officers in the Fanos camp! Norton, who is called General Fei by the elders of the Imperial Military Department? Thinking about it, His Excellency Chi Aotian will very much like to hear this news. Thinking like this, Qu Jianhong actually muttered.
"It turned out to be Your Excellency General Fei!" Qu Jianhong almost looked up to the sky and laughed: "Those who come from afar are all guests, I have a reluctant request, can Your Excellency General Fei go back to the camp with me? ”
There are not many soldiers in the world who can say such heroic words in the midst of tens of thousands of enemy formations, and even fewer officers who dare to speak like this in front of thousands of bear-man troops with only more than 30 horsemen! Perhaps only Qu Jianhong dares to speak like this to Norton, the most famous Phanos general in the War of the Gods.
The young officer threw away the big shield, took out a white handkerchief from his arms with his left hand, wiped the blood on his face down his forehead, and under the moonlight, the earthly dragon knight who was still murderous just now actually showed a "delicate" face: "General Norton!
Before the words could be spoken, the handsome boy threw away his handkerchief, took another standard warhammer from the left side of the dragon, raised his hands at the same time, and rushed towards Norton......
In the War of the Gods, there are not many people who can compete with Norton, and even fewer people can curb Norton's night attack, and the alliance that can stop and break through the Norton Lord Array with a mere thousand horsemen, most of whom are people's strongest, and completely penetrate the three camps of Norton in dozens of breaths, only Qu Jianhong is the only one in the world!
Bloody Night Beauty, fight to become famous!
More than 30 knights behind the Bloody Night Lady roared out a word at the same time: "Kill-" Black spears, black swords, black war horses, black dragons, and black knights pounced on Norton in the army of ten thousand horses with boundless arrogance like a black army of death.
At this time, guarding in front of Norton was already the strongest combat force of Fanos, the Bearman Army.
Qu Jianhong didn't care who the enemy was, the two standard war hammers were opened at the same time, and with the power of the impact of the dragon beast, the mace and shield dancing in front of him were knocked into the air, and one war hammer couldn't be smashed, and the two war hammers were smashed down at the same time, no one could withstand the bombardment of a 100-pound war hammer.
For a while, Norton was on his back!
At this moment, suddenly, a shining red spark erupted between the heavens and the earth, and then, two golden winds were heard flying towards the sky.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized that the two standard war hammers in the hands of the majestic Qu Jianhong were actually knocked away by an enemy, an ordinary orc who was not even ten people long!
Norton was almost silent for a moment!
The orc suddenly pointed his finger at Qu Jianhong and let out a cry: "εξжй, π, ψθдфчぉ!"
All the Phanos soldiers were stunned, and this very young-looking orc was actually saying, "Father, look at me, kill this human officer to wash away your shame!"
