5. Rose Gaze Chapter 218 Carl Sets Out
Karl led the three armies of Ice Wolf Castle to march together.
Everyone knows that this prince will definitely succeed to the Ice Wolf King, as the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, once Prince Carl inherits the Ice Wolf Castle, he will definitely promote a group of new generals. Therefore, the whole army is gearing up to fight for some military merits in this battle.
The army left the Snow Dance level and immediately launched a formation. There are five forward roads, five on the left and right, and Carl and Amber are guarding the central army. Along the way, spears and giant axes were all over the field, strong bows and crossbows were lined up in front of the army, shields were layered like fish scales, and flags were disturbed like clouds flying.
In the Chinese chariot, Karl and Amber sit side by side.
"I didn't expect that your temper would let General Tekochen go." Amber looked at Carl angrily, "I let go of so many remnants of the demon race, I really should have killed him with a rod." ”
"Concubine Ai's temper is too big." Carl chuckled, "He's a garrison, not a sheriff. Besides, he also figured out the way of those demons, which can be regarded as a credit. ”
Amber snorted, "I haven't promised you anything about being a concubine or something." ”
Karl grabbed her shoulders, "You abrasive little goblin, when I retrieve the 'Refining Remnant' and save my mother, I will ask her to make you queen, are you satisfied?" ”
"Let me think about it." Amber gave him a blank look, "I won't get married without even a one-carat ring." ”
Karl laughed, "It's just a diamond ring, after the battle, we will go to the Shendu and pick the biggest and brightest one for my concubine." ”
A smile appeared on Amber's face, "What about the wedding dress, what about the jewelry?" ”
"Yes, there will be ......"
Suddenly, the horns of the troops in front of them sounded, and the whole army stopped suddenly, and immediately set up a combat formation.
"What's going on?" Karl poked his head out of the chariot.
Alan rode the landing bird and came running to report: "There is an enemy 'bell rider' in front. ”
The so-called "bell ride" is also a unique mode of warfare in this world.
The garrison side abandoned the "ambush" tactic and instead sent some knights with bells on their bodies to inform the opponent of the location of their army when the attacker entered the battlefield, and gave the opponent a certain amount of time to set up before engaging in an engagement.
Karl looked up, about fifteen miles away, and sure enough, the bell rang. More than 30 black chocobos were lined up, more than 30 black-armored knights were armed with short spears and light bows, and a bright colored long feather was inserted on the top of the pitch-black steel helmet.
"Hillbilly still learns knightly manners?" Karl laughed, "Array up to meet the enemy, let them see what real war is!" ”
The sergeants on both sides exchanged several rounds of arrows and opened up their positions at this distance. Shields, spearmen, swordsmen, cavalry, and psychomagicians are all in place, swords are unsheathed, bows and crossbows are loaded, and the psychomagicians draw a circle and are ready to attack at any time.
Karl stood on the chariot and saw a young woman in a skirt and armor holding a spear leisurely riding on a chocobo under the flag of the opposing army. The two canine-people beside her, dressed in heavy armor and holding a long-pole weapon that they had never seen before, seemed to be saying something to her.
Behind the three of them was a tall canine infantry general, standing as tall as those chocobos, with a pitch-black steel shield the size of a door panel behind him.
"They seem to have only one commander?" Carl asked, confused. In their eyes, subhumans are not considered human.
Alan nodded, "That's the 'Princess of Fire', it's a bit difficult to deal with." ”
The trumpets on the opposite side suddenly sounded three times, urging the war drums to beat in turn. Alan was about to go out of battle, but was pulled by Carl: "You are a pioneer, don't go up casually." Send someone up there to find out the situation first. ”
Alan nodded, patted the chocobo and came to the front of the formation, and said to the leaders of the private soldiers under him, "On the opposite side is the Red Pavilion army, who wants to go up and win the first credit?" ”
One of the leaders of his private army kicked Chocobo and stepped forward and said, "This is the first skill, let me 'Flowing Water Quick Knife' Darosi fight." ”
Allen looked at him with a blue armor and silver sword, his aura was high, and he nodded and hit the army to blow the trumpet and beat the drum, ready to fight.
The three-way drum sounded, Da Rossi rushed out of the military formation, and said with a horizontal sword: "You waste, you dare to obstruct the army of the Ice Wolf King, don't surrender quickly, otherwise I will chop you into pulp!" ”
Lydia smiled and commented, "This level of shouting is simply a disgrace among knights, you might as well go and meet him." ”
Brother Dam nodded, kicked the chocoi, galloped out without talking to the other party, and waved the halberd in his hand to stab Darossi.
The two jingled and fought for more than 20 rounds, and then they saw a long knife slashing at the face, and a painting halberd was cut off on the head. Two chocobos passed sideways, their eyes wide and a pair of steel beaks spinning and pecking.
Da Rossi calls himself the "Flowing Water Quick Knife", and he must be proficient in water soul arts.
He originally wanted to use the sword technique to suppress the opponent first, and then secretly unleash a soul attack. I didn't expect that the weapon in Brother Dam's hand could be stabbed straight, slashed horizontally, and hooked when he returned to his hand. Hearing a loud sound, Da Rossi's hand was empty, and he raised his eyes to see that a long knife was actually picked up by the other party.
The long knife rolled twice in the air and plunged straight into the ground.
Also on the ground was Da Rossi's face.
He drew his saber and was about to shout something, when he saw Damgo's halberd fall from the sky and split the top of Darothy's helmet in half!
The pillar of blood rose into the sky, and Daroshi fell to the ground with a thud, and died clearly.
Carl and Allen watched dumbfounded from behind. In their eyes, this subhuman should belong to Lydia's horse boy or sword squire. Just a horse boy has such a means, so what an unfathomable character should the "Princess of Gunfire" be?
Cruise was excited to see Brother Dam's victory at the first stop, and shouted: "Idiot, do you dare to go wild in front of the princess?" ”
His shout was like a thunderbolt in front of the battle, and the leaders of the private soldiers were already frightened, and their legs were weakened and their livers and gallbladders were split by his roar.
Cruise saw the flag on the other side shake and thought it was challenging him. Shouldering the heavy shield and sword, he strode out of the battle with his head held high, and his burly body like a brown bear made even the cavalry feel a burst of coercion when he saw it.
"That little guy just now is so powerful, I'm afraid this big guy is even more difficult to deal with." Allen already had the intention of retreating in his heart, but as a forward general, he continued to ask in front of the formation, "Which general dares to go up and take his head from a mere foot soldier." ”
I asked three times, but no one dared to answer.
Just as Alan decided to bite the bullet and go on the field by himself, a skinny little lord next to him suddenly laughed, "It's just a subhuman, what kind of knightly etiquette do you talk about, let's go up together and chop him up?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four chocobos had already rushed out of the camp one after another, and the thin man followed closely behind, slamming a mace into Cruise's head with a mace.
Seeing the five horsemen rushing towards him, Cruise showed a contemptuous smile, "Such a despicable person, my generation should be eradicated together!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, his massive body leaped to his feet and leaped towards the knight in front of him. Before the man could swing the meteor hammer in his hand, he saw the pitch-black iron shield smash into his face like a landslide.
His head blossomed instantly, and a burst of blood spurted the second knight's face.
Cruise soared into the air with the power of his shield strike, twisting and slashing at the third knight. The knight saw the sword light, and hurriedly grabbed the reins of the chocobo and braked urgently.
He stopped just in time, and Cruise's sword didn't hit him.
He didn't stop long enough, and Cruise slashed off his chocobo's head with a single sword.
As the bird's head hit the ground, the knight was thrown to the ground with a heavy blow.
Seeing this, the fourth knight quickly slowed down, but saw Cruise's greatsword hook on the mechanism of the giant shield, and with a click, it synthesized the super giant axe. The giant axe swung sideways, and with a pop, it split the knight and the bird into two halves.
The thin man's mace was about to be slain, when he saw a huge axe fall from the sky and smash it on his skull like a fly.
Boom!
His head was smashed into his stomach and he became a headless corpse.
Seeing Cruise so brave, the two surviving knights turned around and ran. Seeing that the other party did not speak of martial virtues, Lydia raised her spear and unceremoniously took the lead in the charge.
Seeing this, Alan quickly turned the chocobo and protected Karl's chariot before retreating.
The Red Pavilion Army was drumming in battle, and the sound of killing shook the sky, surging towards Karl's front like a tide. The soldiers were well-trained, and the spears were fought in a combination to the point where the opponent was scattered and fled. It took ten grits to chase before Ming Jin withdrew.
As soon as the remnants of Karl's army were counted, more than 1,000 people were injured as soon as they went out into battle, so they could only temporarily set up camp and make plans again.
.
After suffering the defeat, Karl was naturally upset, and after rectifying the military affairs, he summoned several generals to discuss countermeasures.
"I didn't expect the Red Pavilion to have such a powerful player." When Tekoxing heard about what happened before the battle, he wanted to habitually say in the next second: Why don't we withdraw our troops. Fortunately, his brain reacted quickly enough, and he forcibly ate the next words, "Since you can't beat it, why don't you try to use a strategy?" ”
Karl said with a sad face, "Is there any good plan?" ”
The butcher pondered for a moment, "Even though we retreated ten cubs, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. This section of the road is very narrow and can only be camped in sections. We can lead two teams of men and horses to attack in separate ways during the night. Cut them into pieces and break them one by one. ”
The gloom on Carl's face suddenly dissipated, "Okay, this plan is excellent! We're going to do it tonight and take them by surprise. ”
In the middle of the night, Tekochen had a full meal with the butcher, and quietly set off with 5,000 soldiers from his headquarters. The two teams of men and horses took the path to the forest first, and then sent scouts to find out the situation of the Red Pavilion army camping.
After a while, the scout came back and reported: "There is no camp in the Red Pavilion found in this vicinity, not even a single figure. ”
Hearing this, Tekochen was suspicious and asked the butcher: "Maybe there is an ambush, or should we withdraw our troops?" ”
The butcher frowned, "Withdraw the troops, where to withdraw?" Prince Karl's army is on the way to counterattack, is it possible that the Red Pavilion can disappear out of thin air? We might as well continue to march from the shadows, and wait for them to engage in a battle with light and dark. ”
His suggestion sounded very reasonable, and it was difficult for Tekochen to object.
