Chapter 1020 1006. The Burning Scarecrow
March 20th
The 1st, 234th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment launched a fierce attack on the barracks at the same time.
Nearly 3,000 lord troops were stationed in the barracks between Takale Town and Hatangada Town on the Ganbu plane. They never thought that the heavy armored infantry regiment on the opposite side would actually join the heavy cavalry regiment Assault the camp from under the nose.
The barracks station sent the fast horse responsible for reporting out of the camp before the heavy armored infantry regiment on the opposite side formed a siege.
Although there were several magicians in the sky who were in charge of intercepting and killing them, these messengers still sent the news to Hatangada Town.
The heavy cavalry regiment of the Second Legion stationed outside the town of Hartangada immediately dispatched all of them. A pair of majestic blue-scaled horses carried heavy knights and marched towards the barracks valiantly.
These heavy cavalry lined up in four rows on the avenue, but none of the cavalry made a quick march, they kept trotting all the way.
The horseshoes stepped on the rammed loess avenue, and the rumbling sound could be heard several miles away.
…
At the barracks, Ned Mosby led the heavy armored infantry to form a shield wall, and under the rain of arrows, he rushed slowly to the gate of the garrison.
Countless arrows fell, and some arrows shot through the gaps in the shields and hit the heavy armored infantry behind them. However, these heavy armored infantry were also covered with a layer of full-coverage armor, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate them at all.
Four bed crossbows were set up on the arrow tower in the barracks. The giant crossbow arrows were accompanied by humming sounds. As the giant crossbow arrows were shot from the arrow towers, the heavy armored infantry regiment began to suffer casualties.
A giant crossbow bolt flew out from the arrow tower, and first hit the iris shield in the hands of the shield warriors in the front row of the heavy armored infantry regiment. The huge force made the giant crossbow bolt pass through the iris shield, and the spear-like point of the arrow pierced through the heavy armored infantry soldiers chest, the infantry soldier fell backwards.
There was a gap in the army formation immediately, and the infantry soldiers with huge crossbow bolts in their chests fell down one after another.
Ned Mosby gritted his teeth and shouted hoarsely: "Fill the seat...raise the shield!"
Master Harper, who was standing behind the entire team, immediately summoned several magicians, and everyone flew into the air on magic gongs.
Above the sky, Archmage Harper took out a fire magic scroll from his arms, pulled the magician hat on his head, and shouted:
"Prepare to burst the flame scroll!"
Then he swooped down to the barracks from a high altitude, the magic scorpion even kept circling, and at the critical point of the casting distance, he tore off the bursting flame scroll, the spell and the magic circle appeared at the same time, and it was completed in an instant, a big ball of fire Rolling and falling towards the arrow tower, Archmage Harper pulled **** the steering wheel of the magic horn.
The magic bird flew towards the sky again.
However, the big fireball rolled and smashed on the arrow tower surrounded by endless flames, and there was a loud cracking sound. The roof of the entire arrow tower exploded, and a big fire burned on the arrow tower. The bed crossbow operator standing around the bed crossbow was killed. The explosion spread, and two people were directly blown out of the arrow tower, and the rest of the controllers fell on the arrow tower.
As for the bed crossbow, it burned quickly, and was engulfed in raging flames not long after.
The other three arrow towers were also collapsed by the explosion flames, the four bed crossbows suddenly misfired, and the soldiers of the Lord Army hiding in the garrison camp suddenly uttered desperate curses.
The archers hid in the log fence of the barracks and shot a round of arrows, but these ordinary arrows did not pose much threat to the heavy armored infantry.
The heavy armored infantry regiments almost reached the gate of the barracks.
Master Harper returned to a chariot, and was protected by two rows of shield warriors to forty yards in front of the main entrance...
As the jerky and lengthy incantation sounded, pieces of magic pattern circles appeared under the feet of Archmage Harper, and a fire element appeared behind him at the same time. Power poured into the body of Archmage Harper.
The eyes of Archmage Harper also turned red, and the huge magic circle rushed to the sky amidst the sound of incantations.
A small piece of fire cloud suddenly gathered in the dark red sky, and countless magic runes appeared on the body of the fire elemental, but it returned to the elemental world at this moment.
The cloud of fire in the sky gathered together fiercely, and then countless blazing flames rolled over here, surging...
A huge meteorite fireball rolled and fell from the sky, and the soldiers of the Lord Army hiding in the barracks retreated one after another.
A huge fireball meteorite fell from the sky, smashing the thick wooden door of the general camp to pieces.
Rows of heavy armored infantry rushed in from the main entrance of the barracks, stepping on the flames, and fought with the garrison soldiers inside the barracks.
The progress of capturing the camp was very slow. Ned Mosby fought steadily. The wounded soldiers on the battlefield were carried to the back of the battlefield, and someone specially helped them treat their wounds.
Subsequently, the other two gates of the barracks were also declared to have been breached.
At this moment, Ned Mosby still heard Suldak's advice to him: "Slow down the pace of the attack, give the soldiers in the station some time..."
…
From a distance, a large black mass of heavy cavalry regiments could be seen, coming from the avenue towards the barracks.
They are well-equipped, covered almost from head to toe in thick black heavy armor, and the horses also wear iron masks on their heads, and their long necks have scale-like neck armor. Surrounding the horses are four Even the four legs of the horse are covered with hard leather armor to prevent the enemy from cutting the horse's legs.
Lord McDonnell actually raised nearly 20 heavy cavalry on the Ganbu plane. In terms of the number of heavy cavalry alone, it can be said that it surpassed most of the noble lords in Bena province.
It's no wonder that Lord MacDonnell wanted to control the entire Tarapagan area.
With this army alone, he really suppressed all the noble lords in the Tarapakan area.
There are so many blue-scaled horses, and he doesn't know where he bought them.
The war horse didn't run fast, and when it entered the valley woodland, the ground trip ropes in the woodland didn't have any effect at all.
They stopped at the entrance of the valley, and seemed to find the heavy armored infantry ambushing in the woods on the hillside, but then they did not attack the heavy armored infantry in the valley woodland, but ignored their existence at all, and passed by the mountain road in front of them...
The slopes of this valley are densely covered with jungles, and there is no way to arrange rolling stones.
When they continued to walk into the canyon, the heavy cavalry suddenly found that there were scarecrows wearing tattered clothes and holding sickles in their hands on both sides of the road along the way. fear.
The head of the heavy cavalry headed forward with the reins of the horse, swung the epee in his hand, and slashed at the Scarecrow fiercely.
Slashed over with a knife, and the straw man broke from it.
There seems to be nothing in it except dead grass.
"Why are there so many straw people on the road?" The head of the heavy cavalry asked the guard behind him.
"When I passed by here a few days ago, it wasn't there..." Qin Wei replied.
The head of the heavy cavalry was a little worried, so he walked forward another ten meters and chopped down the next scarecrow, but he still didn't notice anything unusual.
"What do they want to do?" The cavalry squadron leader behind him couldn't help asking in his heart.
The head of the heavy cavalry continued to move forward, and cut down all the scarecrows he encountered along the way with his sword.
The head of the heavy cavalry said: "Leave him alone, our task is to support the barracks and tell the knights to maintain their strength before fighting."
The heavy cavalry regiment continued to advance along the road.
The head of the heavy cavalry looked back at the hillside on the left, and said to a heavy cavalry squadron leader: "Stay here and watch those people on the hillside. If they dare to come down, just charge them to death!"
"Understood." The squadron leader took the order, pulled out his team and parked them on the side of the road, carefully guarding the group of soldiers on the top of the hill.
The heavy cavalry in front found the figure of a magician in the sky.
"What about those magicians in the sky?" the guard asked with some concern.
Heavy Cavalry Regiment Zhang pulled down the mask on his face, and continued to walk forward, while saying: "Don't pay attention to them, if they dare to approach, let the archers shoot them!"
…
Archmage Morrison led a group of magicians in the sky on magic scorpions, watching the heavy cavalry pass by on the narrow valley road. Care about this group of magicians including himself.
I saw that the cavalry force had completely entered the two-kilometer valley road.
And the offensive magic flares were also sent out from the hillside, and Archmage Morrison waved to a group of magicians following behind.
These magicians controlled the magic scorpion to suddenly accelerate... and flew out from the left and right sides of the body of Archmage Morrison.
Every magician has a fixed target on the battlefield, and they don't even need to use magic scrolls. These magicians are the elites of the magic union, and almost all of them can do instant fireball, so everyone holds With a hunting ball of fire,
They swooped down and threw the fireball at the furthest distance. The fireball in their hands was not thrown at the knights on the avenue, but at the scarecrows on the side of the avenue.
Arrows that were not too dense flew towards them. Although they had lost any strength when they flew to the highest point in the air, the cautious magicians still supported themselves with magic shields.
The armor on the heavy cavalry is not afraid of such a powerful small fireball, not to mention that each of them holds a knight light shield in their hands. These light shields are engraved with magic runes and have a certain degree of magic resistance.
The fireball ignited the straw figures on the side of the road. At the beginning, no one cared about the knights.
Let them burn casually, and many scarecrows were broken into two pieces. The straw on their bodies was very dry, and the wooden poles that supported them seemed to be covered with grease, and they burned violently when they encountered fire.
Afterwards, I heard a sound of '呵呵味' coming from the wooden pole. This strange sound is like the sound of flames in a blacksmith's furnace...
