Chapter 256: Attacking a Large Stronghold

Wang Lun received the task from the city lord, as a vanguard to carry out the sweep of the Ranger Pavilion stronghold, a total of ten strongholds as Wang Lun's goal, five small strongholds Wang Lun sent five light cavalry-based squads to execute, the commander of these five teams did not stop when he led his troops to the periphery of the small stronghold, on the contrary, he urged the horse forward, and directly started the attack without stopping, the result was also exciting, they leveled these five small strongholds at the cost of almost zero losses, with the speed of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, Even the silver rangers guarding the town were also out, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, they carried out a carpet search of the entire stronghold, and never let go of any suspicious place, it is no exaggeration to say that they did not even let go of the ground below, after repeatedly confirming that the grass has been cut and eradicated, all the five strongholds that can be moved away, and the rest are all burned, looking at the burning fire, the five captains led the team to chase their own brigade.

After the five small strongholds were pulled out, the squadrons responsible for attacking the three medium-sized strongholds were all in place, the vigilance work of the medium-sized strongholds was really not in place, maybe they believed too much in their own strength and power, after the three full squadrons were all rolled out, they didn't react, knowing that the three trebuchets threw the flammable substance found by Wang Lun into the stronghold and successfully ignited the buildings inside the stronghold, they reacted, but it was too late, and the three catapults threw four in unison After the altar, it was changed to use stones to attack, and countless people were stoned to death and burned to death by fire, and the golden rangers stationed in these three medium-sized strongholds saw this, and felt that this stronghold could not be defended, rather than sitting and waiting to be burned to death by the fire, it was better to let it go, and maybe it could kill a bloody way, so the golden rangers organized people and horses to rush out, but their actions had been planned by Wang Lun in advance, and Wang Lun instructed the three squadron leaders to put out a phalanx of archers who were not vegetarians. After the squadron leaders saw someone rushing out, they immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and the sound of the bowstring sounded in unison in the entire phalanx, only to see the arrows that flashed with cold light were thrown into the air, and then accelerated to fall, how could the remnants of those who rushed out withstand such an attack, except for the golden ranger and a few good ones, the rest were all buried in the dense arrows, and were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows.

The Golden Ranger who came out and the few remnants of the remnants of the party also had some arrow wounds, the Golden Ranger was okay, to their status, it was basically close to the strength of the King Kong level, although they were caught off guard, but the basic personal defense still had plenty of time to prepare, but the few people who followed behind were unlucky, even if they didn't die inside, they brought a few arrows that were still shaking on their bodies, and their strength was greatly reduced, Originally, they thought that with the strength of the Golden Ranger, they could completely kill the formation arranged by these soldiers, but they didn't expect that the Golden Ranger broke through the shield wall composed of pikemen and heavy shield soldiers at the forefront, but after that, they were greeted by the heavy cavalry who had already increased their speed, and even the Golden Ranger was helpless, and he was cut off his horse and trampled into meat with an unwilling face. The three squadrons quickly completed the task assigned by Wang Lun, they did not stop, and quickly packed up their things and moved, and went to find a large army to gather, but the squadron leaders tacitly left a light cavalry detachment to clean up the battlefield.

The medium-sized stronghold and the small stronghold were pulled out effortlessly, and the casualties could be said to be negligible, but Wang Lun was only slightly relieved after receiving the report, and his mood was not happy because he had won, and now he had reached the most difficult place to fight, that is, those two large strongholds. As we said before, Wang Lun led the two brigades of men and horses as soon as they started to act, and the main altar of the Ranger Pavilion had already received the news, and the general altar immediately sent a message to the two large strongholds, but the two big rangers stationed in the large strongholds, Shang Hu, a third-layer cultivator of the Fire Elemental Transformation Realm, and Ma Weijun, a second-layer cultivator of the Water Elemental Transformation Realm, did not pay attention to this news, but only sent the order to increase the vigilance personnel of the large strongholds, but did not convey the news to the small and medium-sized strongholds below. This is also a big reason why the attack can go so smoothly. When the people below told the two big rangers the news that the small and medium-sized stronghold had been breached, the two realized that the matter was big and hurriedly sent someone to report to the main altar for support, while they personally led the rangers stationed here to defend it. In fact, the location of these two large strongholds was originally two small villages, and the people of the Ranger Pavilion transformed into the current state after killing all the people here, although it is not as good as Wang Lun's camp, but it is not much worse, the city wall is full of horse arrow towers, and now the arrow towers and city walls are full of people, and at the same time as they are moving, the two brigades led by Wang Lun himself have also arrived here, and the two brigades quickly launched a formation under the leadership of their respective captains, and surrounded the two large strongholds, The trebuchet was also unloaded from the chariot, which was actually Wang Lun's idea, in order to increase the movement speed of the trebuchet, otherwise if it was only pushed by people, it would not be able to reach this side at noon tomorrow.

As a result, after these two sides were ready to fight, the sun of the new day slowly rose from the horizon, Wang Lun pinched the time, as the sun rose, the people on the other side of the large stronghold were a little blinded by the sun, at this moment, Wang Lun nodded at the two captains, the two captains immediately understood what Wang Lun meant, waved the flag in his hand, and the trebuchet took the lead in attacking, Wang Lun handed over all the few large jars to the three squadrons to hit the medium-sized stronghold, So all the stones thrown out here were stones, and these stones smashed fiercely into the interior of the two large strongholds, and many of them also smashed to the city wall, and instantly used their hands to block the dazzling sunlight The rangers were smashed and cried and shouted mother, the scene was extremely chaotic, the big rangers led their golden rangers and began to fight back, but soon they found that their moves could not reach each other at all, and the commanders of these soldiers skillfully placed the formation outside their attack range, even the arrow tower could not reach. Now they were even more panicked, but the big ranger called Ma Weijun was much more stable than Shang Hu, he commanded everyone to start to dodge falling rocks in an orderly manner, and Shang Hu chose to kill out, he firmly believed that as long as he could include those who were soldiers into the scope of the attack, he could completely reverse the situation, after making up his mind, he called his most trusted golden ranger to give advice, and then the whole team opened the door of the stronghold, this Shang Hu turned over and took the lead and rushed out, followed by more than a hundred dead soldiers, The one who attacked Shang Hu's side was the sixth brigade, and the captain looked at it, yo he, there was really someone who dared to kill, without saying a word, he directly commanded the archer phalanx to release arrows, and the arrows that covered the sky and the sun were thrown out, and they fell from mid-air and directly carried out a baptism of the commando led by Shang Hu.

Shang Hu ran his cultivation when he saw this formation, and he pointed with both hands on horseback, only to see a big fireball spray out from his fingertips, and hit the falling arrow in mid-air, although the fireball was big enough, but the area covered by the arrow was larger, Shang Hu's fireball only blocked less than one-third of the area, and the rest were all pierced into the bodies of those dead soldiers, at that time, there were dead soldiers who were shot into hedgehogs screamed and fell off the horse, the captain of the sixth brigade had no mercy, He also knew what the Ranger Pavilion was doing, so then the second layer of arrows shot out again, Shang Hu saw this and hurriedly prepared the fireball, but he hadn't used the fireball yet, only to see a light blue beam suddenly emitted from the rear of the sixth brigade camp, the target of the beam was Shang Hu, Shang Hu was not a fool, seeing the beam rushing to himself, he quickly put up the fireball that was ready to be cast, and then a wall of fire was placed in front of him, the blue light just hit the wall of fire, only to hear a pop, the blue light disappeared, Shang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was right, this blue light was a photo caused by the ice particles flying at an extremely fast speed, just like the tail of a meteor.

But then Shang Hu reflected, there were still falling arrows on his head, but he was good, directly put the wall of fire on his head, he protected himself, but those remnants of the dead were not so lucky, and they were directly killed by the second wave of attacks, Shang Hu looked back and saw that the dead soldiers he brought out had died tragically in the arrows, and there were few who were still alive, and not to mention fighting, it was difficult to return to the stronghold. Shang Hu was on fire at that time, if it weren't for that ice particle, he wouldn't have lost so many people and horses, it was impossible to return to the stronghold, there was no turning back arrow when he opened the bow, Shang Hu turned his heart sideways, and rushed over directly without hesitation, the captain of the sixth brigade just wanted to give the order to hedge, only to see a figure on his side jumping over the shield wall on a war horse, and then rushed towards Shang Hu without stopping.

The captain quickly stopped the archers on his side from attacking, so as not to injure his own people by mistake, and then he looked at the middle of the battlefield, at this time the figure had been fighting with the monk and the tiger, the two sides came and went, the red flames and the blue water droplets attacked each other, it seemed that no one could help anyone, but the captain was not idle, look at it, the trebuchet did not stop throwing stones into the large stronghold.
