Chapter 228: Battle (2)
The black arrows flew in their faces, and the soldiers of the Samhain army instinctively stepped back, they had not even equipped a shield to defend against the arrows beforehand, and now they were standing here as live targets. However, Main reassured the soldiers that not a single arrow could reach them, and now the soldiers had to pray that Main had not fooled them.
Just as thousands of arrows were about to fly above everyone's heads, a white curtain of water suddenly appeared from the trench dug in advance, rising from the trench and instantly rising to a height of more than ten meters, like a wall blocking the front of the soldiers. Swift arrows crashed into the wall of water, but none of them could pass through.
Blocking the rain of arrows, the wall of water fell back into the trench, and when everyone looked down, they saw that the trench was full of arrows, floating densely on the water. The soldiers on both sides were stunned for a few seconds, and then a thunderous cheer erupted in the Savan army.
There was a helpless exclamation in the king's army, especially the archers, who panicked when they saw that none of the arrows they shot had hit the enemy.
Logaris's eyes widened like brass bells, this is too exaggerated, he actually blocked the arrows with a wall of water, it seems that there are magicians in the opposing army!
Now that Logaris saw that there was such a powerful magician in the enemy's army, and thought of the cold reception he had suffered, how could this not make him angry! The more Logaris thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he said fiercely: "Come on! Shoot again!"
At the sound of an order, the archers drew their bows again and unleashed their arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired again with a whistling sound towards the Savan army. However, the result was no different from the previous one, and the wall of water rose again, and the galloping arrow fell down as soon as it hit it. Again, the Sahains let out a wave of cheers.
"Hell, damn magician!" Logaris slammed his fist into the shield of the guard next to him, nearly knocking the guard off his horse.
"Shoot again!" Logaris ordered again.
The herald beside him couldn't help but look at Logaris with suspicion, and when Logaris saw that the herald didn't agree immediately, he immediately scolded angrily: "Damn, didn't you hear my order?"
Seeing that his eyes widened with rage, as if he were about to spew fire from his nostrils, the herald hurriedly agreed: "Ah...... Be...... It's ......"
Looking at the figure of the herald running in a panic, Logaris scolded angrily: "What a bunch of fools!"
When they saw him pouring their anger on the heads of those around him, they were too frightened to speak, although everyone knew very well in their hearts that continuing to shoot arrows would have no effect. Three more volleys, still without any effect, and at this time, not to mention that the officers were already deflated, even the soldiers began to talk in whispers, doubting this ineffectual approach.
Logaris didn't believe in evil, he raised his hand and was about to give the order to shoot again, at this time a staff member beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he leaned over to Logaris's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid it won't work if I shoot like this, it's better to ......"
Logaris sneered and said, "I'm not blind, of course I know that this won't help, but I don't believe that their magicians can hold them up forever, and I will consume them to death." ”
The staff said in his heart: "You are obviously vindictive, who knows how many magicians the other party has, how can you conclude that you can tire the other party down." ”
The staff member advised: "The adult's method is indeed good, but the morale of the soldiers ......"
Unmoved, Logaris said without looking back, "The morale of the soldiers? Hmph, why should I care what the soldiers think?"
"This ......" Seeing that he was so stubborn, the staff really didn't know what else to say, so they had to retreat to the side.
Volleys began again in the king's army, and Sawan said puzzledly: "What does the commander of the other side think, do you want to continue to try knowing that you can't shoot through our wall of water?"
Main sneered: "The other party probably wants to tire our magician down, this is too underestimating our magician, let him shoot." ”
After six or seven volleys, the archers were exhausted, and the pikemen were yawning with boredom. Logaris still thought that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing, and he was about to give the order to shoot again, when a knight rode up to Logaris, and said loudly: "Lord Logaris, listen to the order!
Logaris replied unconvinced: "Please return to Your Majesty, now is not the best time to let the phalanx attack, please don't worry about your Majesty's own arrangements." ”
When the herald saw that Logaris didn't care about the king's order, his eyes widened, and Logaris didn't look at the other party, and continued to give the order to shoot. The herald shouted angrily, "Lord Lorgaris, are you going to disobey orders?
Logaris was already angry, but when he was scolded so loudly by the other party, he immediately pulled out his sword and said angrily: "What are you! Dare to give orders to me!"
The herald was not a vegetarian, and usually relied on himself as a close minister of the king and was proud to be proud, but when he saw that Logaris dared to draw his sword, he also drew his sword, and saw that the two of them were about to start a firefight. The people around Logaris saw that things were about to develop to the point of being out of control, so they hurriedly came up to dissuade them, and after some persuasion, they pulled the two apart.
Everyone persuaded Logaris not to disobey the king's orders, otherwise no matter how great the credit was, it would not end well. Logaris roared angrily: "What kind of king is he, Lao Tzu is gone!"
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk like that......"
After a long period of persuasion from everyone, Logaris finally calmed down, and he sighed helplessly: "Okay, order the spear phalanx to attack!"
Everyone was secretly relieved to see that Logaris had finally come to his senses, and the herald rode away angrily. At this time, as the order was laid, a loud trumpet sounded again, the war drums rumbled again, and the eight neat pikemen phalanx began to push forward steadily.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on the battlefield, Logaris waved to a personal attendant, lowered his voice and said, "Tonight, you quietly go to the other party......
As the king's army approached, the army on Sahain's side also moved, but instead of stepping forward to meet the attack, they retreated neatly to the rear. This strange move made many officers on the king's army feel strange, generally speaking, it is taboo to retreat on the battlefield, which can easily cause morale to decline or even collapse, as the saying goes, morale can not be discharged.
Logaris naturally saw this scene as well, but what he was thinking in his heart was something else, the other party was probably doing this because there was some trap waiting for the army on his side to fall into the net. Although he saw through this, he did not intend to stop it, on the one hand, the king had already ordered it, and if he forcibly stopped it, he was afraid that he would be infamous for disobeying the order, and on the other hand, he had a small calculation in his heart, so he might as well let them suffer once, so as not to take themselves seriously.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Logaris's lips.
At this time, the two armies retreated one forward and the other, and part of the phalanx of the king's army had already crossed the trench full of arrows, and at this moment the army formation on Sahain's side suddenly stopped retreating, and the soldiers together flattened their spears and pointed the tips of their spears at each other.
The king's army immediately stopped when they saw it, and put on a posture of preparing for battle. At this time, Main nodded to the people around him, and a dozen magicians chanted incantations at the same time, and the wall of water that made the archers helpless rose again, separating the remaining phalanx of the king's army behind the wall of water.
"Ahh The soldiers and junior officers were suddenly panicked, and the tight formation became loose.
Merry Christmas!
