Chapter 175: Victory in the First Battle [4K]
"Boom ......"
In the middle of the night, accompanied by a shocking bang in the rebel camp, it brought a touch of life to this silent wilderness.
A black-robed man was surrounded by rebels and fell into a bitter battle, even if the strength of the black-robed man was a top-notch existence in the level of a transcendent magician, it could not withstand the opponent's many people, and the masters were like clouds.
Just as he was exhausted, outside the rebel camp, the Hurricane Knights, who had already been ready, bared their fangs in the dark night, and under the magical cover of a battle mage regiment, they successfully rescued the black-robed man from the layers of encirclement.
This battle happened quickly and ended quickly, and the two sides seemed to have carried out a trial, neither of them lost many manpower, nor did they have any intention of expanding the situation, they were silently preparing for the upcoming decisive battle......
"You mean their sacrifice has reached a very important stage?" Douglas frowned and looked at the black-robed man in front of him who had just been snatched out of the enemy camp.
"Ahem, yes, I saw the huge altar, the scene inside is like purgatory on earth, and the corpses used for sacrifice have all been turned into blood, just wait for the altar to swallow the blood, I am afraid their goal will be achieved.
I wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the altar, but I didn't expect that the enemy army was heavily guarded, and I was discovered when I cast a spell, and someone interfered with the spell path and failed. ”
The black-robed man clutched his chest and coughed a few times, and said with some unwillingness, even if the fighting time was extremely short, he was still not lightly injured under the siege of many masters of the rebels.
"I understand, you go down to cultivate first." Douglas nodded, waved the black-robed man back, and began to communicate with his contract beast pet in his mind.
After a long time, a slight hint of joy appeared on his serious face, and he slammed his fist on a certain point on the map, which was the battlefield he had chosen for the decisive battle......
The days passed quietly, and three days passed, and on this day, Alan was training the army, but he only heard a rush of horns ringing in his ears.
The next moment, the noise and shouting were all over the school field, and all the troops in training quickly began to form a team under the command of the officer.
Seeing this, Ryan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly beckoned his soldiers to gather quickly and stand in line beside Viscount Chels's troops.
Such a scene took place in all corners of the camp, and everyone was urged by the horn to assemble as quickly as possible.
Earl Donald walked to the high platform of the school yard wearing a characteristic black armor, facing the tens of thousands of troops below, he said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, by the order of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, our army is reorganized into the Fifth Army on the spot, and the numbers of each army are as follows......
Our mission is to attack the rebels' western defenses, and now, let's go! ”
Although the time was short, the nobles still faithfully carried out the orders of Count Donald, showing a rare side of efficiency.
There is no way, the nobles have now recognized the reality, this battle and the rebels are either the result of your death or my death, if you don't work hard, just prepare to go to heaven to see the Lord of Light!
The troops that had been reorganized on the spot slowly drove out of the garrison, and from the sky they had a bird's-eye view, as if black torrents were converging in one direction.
Ryan led the army to follow Chels, and said suspiciously: "Why is this decisive battle launched so hastily, now should not be the best time to attack, right?" ”
This is not to be puzzled, how can there be a person who has just been reorganized and goes directly to the battlefield, this is also too hasty, you must know that the establishment of the group army is still above the corps, it is a temporary establishment in wartime, often has tens of thousands of troops, and only nobles with outstanding military achievements can serve as commanders.
This involves a series of issues such as military running-in, command and scheduling, and often requires a long run-in period, but I didn't expect it to be so hasty.
Chels glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "You see that we acted in a hurry, why weren't the rebels caught off guard by us?"
Don't look at the fact that we are only starting now, the vanguard has already arrived at the front line to prepare, and now it is estimated that the offensive has begun. ”
As soon as his words fell, a roar like thunder gradually spread from afar. Ryan looked up, and a huge thundercloud appeared in the sky, and the thick thunder that fell down was clearly visible in his eyes.
"The power of the large-scale forbidden spell is truly amazing." Ryan muttered under his breath, a little lost in his eyes.
This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale forbidden spell, and although Mei Lan used it last time, it was also a forbidden spell, but it was nothing compared to this.
Although the rebel camp was nowhere to be seen, Ryan was sure that they must be very uncomfortable, after all, they had the advantage of sneak attack.
A group of battle mages, hundreds of mages cast a forbidden spell together, powerful enough to raze a city in a short time, if the rebels are not prepared enough, this time is enough for them to drink a pot.
Seeing that the battle has started ahead, Ryan and other follow-up armies have also accelerated their pace, and now is the time to rush for time, and if you arrive one step earlier, maybe the battle situation will change differently.
By the time Ryan's Fifth Army arrived at the designated battlefield, the forbidden spell had already dissipated, but the devastating force that remained between heaven and earth made Ryan shudder.
The rebels' western line, which they were about to attack, was even more miserable, consisting mainly of a hill and a stretch of river.
Now, the rolling hills were full of potholes, and everywhere there were traces of thunder, and the rebels had cleared more than half of the defenses they had built on the hills, clearing a considerable part of the way to their attack.
Count Donald looked at the mess in front of him, but still did not take it lightly, and with a wave of his hand, several behemoths flew up in the ranks.
Ryan, who was at the back of the team, looked at it intently and said in surprise, "Griffin cavalry? ”
Chels nodded and said, "His Royal Highness has assigned several griffon cavalry to our group, which can be used for communication and aerial reconnaissance at the same time. ”
Soon, the griffon cavalry flew over the hills, and as soon as they emerged, they were intercepted by rebel crossbowmen and magicians.
But the height of the griffons was too high for their attacks to reach, and they could only watch as they circled around the camp and returned.
Donald looked at the griffin cavalry who had returned safely, and muttered a little in his heart, although the griffin flew at a high altitude, as long as the Great Mage and above could still threaten them.
Now that they were wandering around but intact, it made him a little strange, the western defense line was an important defense line for the rebels, with tens of thousands of people stationed, and there was no reason why there should not be high-ranking transcendents in charge.
"Is there any, or is there something planned?" Count Donald frowned, but the battlefield did not allow him to be indecisive, and he finally gave the order to attack decisively.
The war of the transcendent world is actually not much different from the era of cold weapons on the blue star, except that the force of individuals has been more directly reflected, and then there are more confrontations between some extraordinary abilities.
At the command of Count Donald, a team of more than a hundred magicians began to wave their magic wands at the back of the group, chanting obscure and lengthy incantations in their mouths.
For this kind of defense system built on the hills, earth magic is its biggest nemesis, and the forbidden spell magic urged by hundreds of magicians is not as spectacular as the battle mage group of thousands of people.
Ryan could clearly feel that the magic elements that were free from heaven and earth were being "captured", and they all converged on the magic array that had faintly formed.
The rebels had been keeping an eye on their movements, and seeing that the forbidden spell was forming, the rebel commander was anxious, but there was no good way to counter it.
As an ancient man said, use magic to defeat magic.
The number of magicians on their side is far inferior to that of the aristocratic coalition, but now some of them have been transferred for some special reasons, and the rest are three or two big cats and small cats, how to do it?
Seeing that the magic fluctuations in front of him were getting stronger and stronger, the rebel commander gritted his teeth and said, "Let's launch the magic array in advance, otherwise we won't be able to resist the first wave of attacks if we continue like this." ”
As the defensive line on the west side of the rebel camp, this hill has been painstakingly managed by them for several months, during which countless magic arrays have long been inscribed, which can be used for attack, defense, and confusion.
However, the activation and use of the magic array requires the consumption of a large number of magic crystals or beast cores, and the Council of the Apostles of the Evil God is notoriously poor, and the construction of an evil circle covering the entire Terte County is also a big project, which has already exhausted the resources they have accumulated for many years, and it can only be saved on the battlefield.
Under repeated deductions, the magic array of the western defense line has become a defensive means used according to the number of times, and the number of times is not much, only three times.
In the face of the previous large-scale forbidden spell, it had already been used once, and now it had to be used again......
An earthy yellow six-pointed star array quickly melted into the feet of the magicians, and with the uniform movements of the magicians, the earth-based forbidden spell magic [Earth Dragon Wild Dance] was finally released.
"Boom ......"
With a violent shock like an earthquake, the land in front of the aristocratic alliance quickly began to bulge and crack on both sides, like a huge earth dragon shuttling across the surface.
Soon, this invisible "earth dragon" came to the hills where the rebels were stationed, and with the billowing smoke and the crazy shaking of the land, several short hills were instantly razed to the ground.
Dazzling auras shone beneath the rolling hills, each representing an intricate array of magic that intertwined to protect the rebels' vital areas.
"Bang-"
The Forbidden Spell Magic and the Magic Array met in the ground below the hills with a terrifying bang, and Ryan saw large chunks of the ground being swept away and then scattered and falling.
The extremely thick dust and smoke floated up, obscuring the sky and the sun, like a wall blocking the vision of the aristocratic coalition army, and with Lane's vision, he could only see the aura behind it flickering violently.
Some of them went out like a light bulb that had been burned out of the filament, but many more persevered.
The vibration under the land continued until the forbidden spell expired, and the magicians who released the forbidden spell consumed a lot of spiritual power had to cast another [Wind Breath Spell] to blow away the rolling dust, and they temporarily lost their combat power.
As the dust gradually dissipated, the chaotic hills that had been swept away appeared in front of the coalition forces again, and the buildings that were faintly visible before had now collapsed in pieces, and the rebels had suffered a lot of losses, wailing.
Obviously, although the magic array withstood most of the impact, the aristocratic alliance still achieved the desired effect.
Count Donald's expression was excited, and all the previous doubts suddenly dissipated invisibly, if the rebels really had hidden transcendentals, there was no reason not to make a move at this time.
In other words, the magic array is now the last resort of the rebels, Count Donald pulled out the sword at his waist and said in a loud voice: "The second legion, the third legion, launch a general attack on the rebel defense line from both sides." ”
"Woo-woo-"
The sound of desolate trumpets resounded through the wilderness, and two legions, nearly 20,000 men, marched in orderly steps to attack the area where the rebels had suffered the worst losses.
Under the influence of the knight's skill, the soldiers became extremely brave, clutching the weapons in their hands and slapping them like a tide.
The tragic offensive and defensive battle began.
The Fifth Army had six legions and more than 50,000 men, and the rebels were about 20,000 according to the Griffin cavalry.
Although most of the defenses built by the rebels were wiped out by the previous offensive, they had the advantage of being geographically advantageous, defending condescendingly, and their weapons such as rolling logs, boulders, arrows, and spears were all extraordinary.
Not to mention the fact that there are also large weapons of destruction such as ballistas and trebuchets.
Soon the two attacking legions were smashed to the head, and in such a battlefield, individual bravery was suppressed to the extreme, and even a transcendent person would be crushed here if he didn't pay attention.
Ryan looked at the waves of troops charging upward, his brows furrowed deeply, what is the difference between this and sending him to death?
But soon, the trebuchets brought with the army were assembled and put into use on the battlefield, and with the addition of these trebuchets, the aristocratic coalition suddenly temporarily suppressed the rebels on the hills with a numerical advantage.
Ryan suddenly realized that although his trebuchets were numerous, they were far inferior to the rebels' condescending attacks in terms of range and power.
If it is exposed too early, there is even a risk of being destroyed by concentration, so Count Donald first let the army make a feint, attracting firepower and consuming the opponent.
Sure enough, in the stalemate of the battle, these trebuchets played their best role, inflicting heavy casualties on the rebels while covering the attacking army.
Soon, under the attack of the soldiers, the two small hills with the heaviest losses in the western line of the rebels were captured by the two corps, and they used this as a bridgehead to attack the rest of the hills.
On the first day, the first battle was won!
