Chapter 188: Fire Coverage
,
As the trumpet sounded, there was a dull sound, the sound of several military boots stepping on the earth in unison.
Through the faint white mist, you can see that on the other side of the horizon, a faint black line reflecting the metallic luster has emerged.
The black line slowly approached, and gradually became clearer.
Then it turned into a faintly visible black shadow.
These black shadows are like an endless tide, slowly and continuously surging from the other side of the earth.
In the end, they turned into an army of nearly tens of thousands of people.
With a murderous aura that soared to the sky, this elite emperor ** group drove over for a long time, approaching the Maple Leaf Danlin
The heavily armored soldiers marched forward in orderly formation, as if they had been cut with knives, and the sound of footsteps rumbled and reverberated over the earth like thunder.
The steel boots mercilessly stepped over the dead grass, fallen leaves, and the slight white snow on the side of the road. The things were mixed together, and in an instant they turned into black sludge, and then they were trampled into the ground by the warriors who followed.
These Imperial soldiers were all dressed in heavy armor, wearing almost all-encompassing copper helmets with blood-red helmets pinned to them, holding red multi-layered tower shields in their left hands, holding throwing spears in their right hands, and long swords covering their waists, looking martial and solemn.
Every thousand people lined up in a phalanx, and the commander with a white feather on his head walked at the front of the phalanx, and the long dragon composed of dozens of phalanxes was not chaotic at all.
As they drew closer and closer with their neat and heavy steps, even the earth began to tremble. The people standing at the head of the city could even clearly feel the faint sound coming from under their feet
Shake.
At the head of the city, the dust that had not been cleaned for many years was also fluttering under the shaking. Falling down one by one. The choked guards who were hiding under the city coughed incessantly.
When all the Imperial warriors arrived at the city, the Striker was out of range of the Magic Tower.
At this time, I heard "Woo, woo" and another military horn sounded.
With that towering command, the soldiers raised their huge tower shields, erected sharp war spears, and in an instant, they became indestructible steel phalanxes.
Immediately after, those elite warriors stomped their feet in unison, and at the same time let out an angry roar: "Kill."
The roar tore through the sky and went straight to the sky.
The people of the academy were alerted early and rushed to the city.
But these people, who had never experienced war, were all shocked and stunned when they saw the awe-inspiring murderous aura coming from the opposing army's formation. There was only one thought left in my mind: Is this war? If this war is fought, how long will I live?
These innocent and kind people are now awakened. They had been deceived by Lorraine's empty promises.
They think that fighting a war is to grab money, things, and women, but they don't realize that in war, no one has ever stipulated that only they are allowed to rob others, and others are not allowed to rob themselves.
And when they realized this, others could also rob their own things and take their own lives, but now they have been tied to a train that is more than 500 kilometers old by Lorraine, and it is impossible to jump out of the train.
Thinking of this, these people looked at the highest and most conspicuous command post at the top of the city with resentment.
I saw it on top of that tall tower. Lord Lorraine of the Dragon Cliff Grass Family was sitting on a chair, stilting Erlang's legs, holding a glass of red wine in one hand, and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Beside him, a slender woman was holding a strange musical instrument, playing music and singing a beautiful song.
Although it was still far away, they could still hear the woman's incomparably beautiful voice like Yinling. Everyone has been in the academy for a long time. At once, you could hear that the voice was Sister Adele, one of the four beauties of the academy.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be angry. They all secretly said: This chaos war is imminent, but they are still enjoying it here. I really don't know if I'm alive or dead.
But what they didn't realize was. Lorraine's actions seemed to be more effective than any comforting speech, and before they knew it, the fear in everyone's hearts gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Lorraine looked out of his eyes and saw that the queue of the opposite legion was neatly like a phalanx on a military parade, and he couldn't help but sneer disdainfully.
What kind of man Lord Lorraine was, he could see at a glance that these valiant soldiers, though they looked very good, were very strong. But it lacks a momentum, the kind that has been tested by the fires of war. The momentum of the bloody battlefield and the elite soldiers who have survived a hundred battles.
They don't have the determination and courage to die. Such an army can only scare and scare the dead people who don't understand the. If it's really a war,
Lord Luo's heart was wide. Secretly thought: "It seems that this Almohads are nothing remarkable"
At this time, with an order, the pickets in black robes rushed to the city like wolves.
They wore a strip of white cloth with the words "Gendarme" tied to their heads, and carried a thick whip in their hands. Immediately, he was beaten with a whip covering his head and face, and the fellows who beat him screamed and ran back to their posts.
Officers at all levels also came to their senses, shouting and scolding, kicking and beating their own soldiers, shouting, "Take your weapons." Quick, rush up for me. Take care of your post. No enemy should be allowed to defile our Academy. Whoever dares to flee from the battle will be killed immediately. ”
Like a sheep, they ruthlessly waved the whip in their hands, and drove the soldiers to the top of the city, and everyone sat on the top of the city, and heard the sound of those ghosts crying and howling, but it was as straight as ever
Lorraine closed her eyes even more, shrunk into the chair, and muttered, "Dale, sing a little higher." It seems to be a little noisy outside. How can I hear your beautiful singing voice clearly? ”
Adele listened to the praise of the person she liked, and immediately felt a burst of joy in her heart.
She smiled sweetly. He said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Seeing the blue noses and swollen faces of those soldiers being beaten, Schillea couldn't stand it, frowned, and then stepped forward and said, "Lorraine, you just let them beat and scold the soldiers like this? It's a little too inhumane?"
When Adele heard someone talking, she didn't want to stop because she was slowing down.
Lorraine didn't open her eyes either. said: "Keep singing, such a beautiful song, I'm happy to listen to it." ”
Adele smiled. said: "I know, if you like it, I will continue to sing it to you."
As he spoke, he plucked the strings of Lorraine's guitar and continued to sing in a low voice.
Lorraine rolled her eyelids. Seeing that Sylmeria's face had turned blue, and there were even signs of fire exploding, he sighed softly, and then said unhurriedly: "Melia, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth." You can see clearly, facing an army of 60,000. These people are already scared to death, and they are about to pee their pants. ”
Hearing his vulgarity, Shirmel Melia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Lorraine continued: "This is war, this is a battlefield, and there is no room for any coward. Now they are afraid that the enemy will be like this, and they can't be coaxed like children. The only way to get them to muster up the courage to fight is to make them fear me even more. Let them know that I am more terrible than the enemy. ”
"What the hell is this logic?. Hill Cao Lia was stunned for a moment, then laughed back angrily, and said, "So that they can win the battle?"
Lorraine took a sip of her wine. Said slowly: "No, that's it." They will know that they are dead. So there will be no more panic. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the city.
Sylmeria looked back in the direction of his finger and gasped.
Not far behind them, a group of Overseer archers was coming out of the hideout
They stood there in a very loose line, bows and arrows in hand. The sharp arrow that shimmered with cold light was not aimed at the city, but at the soldiers at the city.
The soldiers at the head of the city also saw the role of the archers, and immediately panicked. But then he calmed down under the unceremonious kicking and scolding of the officers.
These soldiers were now completely blocked by the retreat, even if they were not dead, in the hands of the enemy, they would also die under the arrows of the Overseer, and there was no other way to think of it, so they could only concentrate and angrily turn to the enemy on the opposite side.
These people, who had never experienced war, were finally overcome by the panic and fear of the first battlefield under the constant provocation of Lorraine, and settled their minds to look directly at the enemy in front of them.
Lorraine felt the subtle change in the air, couldn't help but smile slightly, closed her eyes, and continued to listen to Adele sing.
Leo leaned on top of the wall, looking at the enemy on the other side with excitement on his face. "Wow! They're coming up again." Look, look, the big pig's head flag in the middle is up. The guy in the middle was dressed in gold, wow, he looked like he was rich."
"Glittering Gold" Vera instinctively, her lovely ears immediately stood up. Then an arrow stepped over, squeezed around Leo, and shouted, "Where, where?".
Wait for her to see clearly. The big blue eyes immediately turned into a heart shape, and then he sighed deeply. Said: "It looks really rich"
When these two people kept shouting at the head of the city, their heartless appearance made people laugh.
Seeing the movement on the other side, Shirma couldn't help but say, "Lorraine, looking at their appearance, it seems that they want to attack." You're not in a hurry at all?"
Lorraine snorted unhurriedly, then opened his eyes and looked at it, and said lazily: "What's the hurry? The two armies are facing each other, and the artillery battle is the first." They're not going to attack so quickly."
That's it. I heard another horn sound on the other side, and then I heard it. I saw a large group of soldiers break away from the Chinese army. With a shout, he rushed this way.
When Lorraine saw the other party's unexpected action, he couldn't help but widen his eyes all of a sudden, ignoring the teasing of Catherine and the others next to him, and suddenly rushed to the top of the city, looked out, and secretly said in his heart: Is the commander of the other party a brain-dead? Is there any trick in this?
After he saw the other party running into the range of the ballista at the head of the city, he couldn't help but sneer, no matter what tricks there are, there is only one way to die.
He coughed lightly, then slowly raised his left arm. Said: "Pay attention to each gun position, prepare to shoot." ”
The herald behind him immediately rushed forward, roaring loudly and angrily, while waving the order flag wildly in all directions, using the flag language he had just learned, to pass the military order.
Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of ballistas firing all around.
Lorraine looked at the soldiers rushing towards him on the opposite side, pursed his lips tightly, and said calmly while calculating in his heart: "Steady, steady, the ten soldiers of the empire who are stable have run to a distance of about eighty meters below the city, and they are closely following the Yizhen archers against the city. They also began to draw their bows and release arrows to shoot cover.
The previous practice of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy finally saw the effect at this time.
Seeing the arrows whizzing through the air, the shield bearers rushed to the front and raised the huge tower shield in their hands high.
In addition to slowly moving the muzzle and aiming at the ballista gunners of the enemy group. The rest of the crowd also took refuge.
At this time, the enemy is getting closer and closer, and even the hideous expressions on their faces can be clearly seen.
The surveyor beside him poked his head out and loudly reported the distance, ignoring the rain of arrows flying in.
"Sixty meters. ”
"Fifty meters. ”
"Forty meters. ”
The growing numbers were like steel needles. Piercing everyone's nerves.
Seeing that Lorraine still did not give orders, the ballistae did not dare to leave their posts without permission, but they also cast puzzled glances here.
In the midst of the emperor's array, the soldiers who were watching saw that they were charging so smoothly, thinking that victory was in sight, and they all shouted loudly.
Seeing that the enemy is about to rush to the dead corner of the city, it will be too late if he doesn't shoot. At this time, I saw Lorraine wave his hand decisively.
The kind is very silvery. Yang Willy's pride welled up in his heart, and Lorraine thought to himself, if there was any difference between himself and the invincible admiral who secretly boasted of his salary, it was that he was much more handsome than him.
The anxious heralds who had been waiting next to them waved their flags one after another, raised their throats and shouted, "Fire, fire, hurry up." ”
Immediately there was a humming sound of bowstrings crashing at the top of the city.
Countless bolts flew out with the grim smile of death, whistling towards the Imperial soldiers swarming on the ground.
These bolts studded with explosive crystals shot at the Imperial soldiers on the ground, and the thick crossbow arrows pierced through the poor soldiers, and the furious magic crystals exploded.
Countless brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed on the ground, and the sound of a huge explosion was deafening. The blast wave from the explosion swept across the land like a hurricane, blowing up countless debris.
At that moment, the battle flag on the head of the city became straight and straight like a piece of smashed iron, and after a long while, it slowly lowered again.
The crowd was blown unsteady by the violent shock wave, and almost fell to the ground.
Immediately after, black gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, filling everyone's sight.
Under such a violent explosion, Lorraine did not care about his manners, and bent down, hiding under the wall, and when the surrounding area was calm, he slowly stood up, and now he was covered with a thick layer of dust. There was also a buzzing in the ears.
He looked at the billowing smoke and made a cursory estimate that the effect of this explosion was no more than a salvo of thirty mortars.
He patted the dust on his body and said, "It's so strong." ”
When the smoke clears. The two sides looked at the scene again, and they couldn't help but tremble.
I saw that the land covered by artillery fire was as if it had been plowed by an iron plow, and the ground was all pitted, and countless stumps and broken arms were like crops trampled by wild boars, lying on the ground indiscriminately.
And, in this cold winter, wisps of white mist emerge from time to time, which makes people nauseous.
Even though a few lucky ones were not killed or injured by the explosion on the ballista, a catty was also blackened by the gunsmoke, and the armor on his body had been torn to pieces by the explosion, hanging on his body like strips of rags.
They swayed in their faces and walked around helplessly. Like an ownerless geist, it will fall down when you reach out and touch it.
In this era, ballistas with explosive crystals are all extremely expensive, and each shot is like digging out the flesh of the heart. How could these people have had the opportunity to use this kind of shelling, which is like burning money
The people above the city saw that more than 1,000 soldiers from a brigade of the other party had been killed and wounded after such a volley, and they couldn't help but be stunned by the covering shooting under the guidance of Lorraine. After a long time, I came back to my senses.
Followed by. Cheers rang out like a tidal wave.
They all looked at Lorraine in admiration, almost adoring the five-body cast.
These ruffians have completely forgotten about it, and just now, Lorraine set up a team of overseers behind them, forcing them to die.
Lorraine smiled coldly and ordered in a low voice, "Order them to guard their posts." The enemy has just attacked tentatively, and the real battle is still to come, so let's not relax our vigilance. ”
The herald next to him immediately agreed, and waved at the rest of the gun emplacements again.
When the officers saw the order, they came to their senses, and then kicked and beat the soldiers who were excited, shouting and screaming, thinking that they had won the war, to make them sober up and return to their places.
At this time, I heard another loud military horn sounding on the opposite side.
Immediately afterward, several roads were seen dodging behind the formation.
Dozens of huge machines covered with tarpaulins were pushed out.
In this cold winter, the big men pushing the vehicles were still sweating and shirtless. Shouting slogans, you can see how heavy those vehicles are.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, what is this? Could it be that the other party has any secret weapon?
