Chapter 1549 1535. Highland Battle 5
The evil spirit army is stationed at the edge of the Villagasi hills, and evil spirit soldiers are constantly coming from the north. There are traces of evil spirits everywhere in the mountains and plains, and those evil spirits on the edge of the hills are more like a dark cloud in the sky. The soldiers on the West Route Army were a little out of breath.
The evil ghost fighters have a strong body, and when they stand together, they will gather a strong momentum.
In the past two days, even the voices of talking and laughing in the barracks have decreased a lot. Due to the pressure brought by those evil spirits, many infantry soldiers took the initiative to carry stones on the edge of the canyon. high.
The clouds on the Moyunling plateau are very low. It is the rainy season recently, and the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are like pieces of white cotton candy.
The tundra is full of water vapor, and many dry streams are gurgling at this time.
Suldak's tent was set up at the highest point of Gaogang, and the tents of all infantry regiments surrounded his tent.
Standing at the entrance of the tent and looking north, you can see countless black figures crowding the hills to the north. Those evil spirits are also staring at this side. They should be more eager than the West Route Army...
These evil spirits almost ate all the large animals on the Moyunling Highlands to extinction, and then gnawed on the bark in the mountains for several months. Now that they see the imperial army, they may not be enemies in their eyes, but countless Delicious grilled sausages and steaks.
The basic part of the wall of the military stronghold of the West Route Army has been built, and the stones carried back by the infantry soldiers from the edge of the canyon are constantly building the main body of the wall.
Whether it's the evil spirits or the West Route Army, no one can afford to wait for this battle...
The senior management of the Evil Ghost Legion is worried that the West Route Army will build a military stronghold. If the Evil Ghost Warriors want to attack again, they don't know how many ghost soldiers will have to sacrifice to open a gap.
Suldak and the officers of the West Route Army were worried that the evil spirits coming from the North Sunderland Mountains would eventually accumulate to a very large number, and the military stronghold might not be able to hold it.
In the tent of Suldak, Selina is holding a cup of black tea from Hailansa City, and is teaching Signa to draw runes.
Recently, everyone has been influenced by the magicians in the investigation team, and they practice drawing magic patterns in their spare time. Recently, these magicians are making magic shield scrolls, and Selina taught Signa some things related to darkness. some runes.
Obviously, Signa is not yet old enough to sit still. It is extremely boring for her to draw complex-shaped runes on the magic parchment every day.
At this moment, she pouted, kept twisting her body, and impatiently drew a symbol.
If Selina hadn't been watching here herself, she would have run away without a trace.
In order to be able to provide sufficient volcanic ash cement to the military stronghold, Suldak and Aphrodite have been running back and forth between the rented warehouse and the stronghold warehouse in Hailansa City almost day and night for the past two days. Dak has accumulated a lot of magic pockets, which can carry a lot of supplies every time.
Half-elf archer Samira and magician Avid walked in from the outside.
Suldak was sleeping soundly on a wicker chair, with a hand-painted map of Moyunling covered on his face.
Probably also heard the sound of footsteps, Suldak woke up, lifted the parchment map on his face, and saw that it was Avid walking in from the outside, so he sat up from the rattan chair and asked him: "Willie?" What is the current situation of the evil ghost army on the other side of the Agassiz Hill?"
The magician Avid also knew that it would be useless to say "take a rest" at such a time.
The battle is imminent, and no one can sleep soundly.
He pointed directly at the map and said:
"There are currently three evil spirit legions heading towards us. The evil spirit army gathered in the northern hills is the westernmost road. Among the three evil spirit legions, this evil spirit army has the largest number of evil spirit fighters. So far, there are about 20,000 evil spirits gathered in the hills of Villagasi, so far we have only found a few evil spirit generals, and no evil spirit commanders..."
"When the vanguard of the evil ghost army in the middle road entered the southern area of the Villagaxi hills, it just ran into Andrew's Constructed Knights, and the vanguard was completely dispersed. Now this evil ghost army is repairing here. We're about a day away from here."
"A part of the evil spirits in the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains chased the reinforcements from Handanal City and headed north. Therefore, the number of evil spirits assembled on the east road is the smallest. So far, there are only about 10,000, and they are coming from the direction of the inner lake. , if you don’t take a break in the middle, it will take at least three days to get here.”
"Their vanguard just met the Constructed Swordsman Group led by Marquis Simon Jeffrey who was moving eastward in the eastern part of the Villagasi Hills. They fought tentatively not far from the inner lake, and the Constructed The number of swordsmen is much smaller than that of the evil spirits, and they didn't take advantage of it. According to the news from over there, there should be some constructed swordsmen who quietly left the structure of Marquis Simon Jeffrey after that battle. Swordsmen."
Suldak's eyes lit up when he heard Avid say this: "Have you figured out where they all went?"
"Most of the constructed swordsmen who left chose to go north. They walked very scatteredly, and some constructed swordsmen simply joined the adventure group hunting near the inner lake." Evid replied,
"You said that these constructed swordsmen who left the team joined the adventure group over there?" Suldak said with some regret.
"There are also some Constructed Swordsmen who caught up with Andrew's Constructed Knights. It is said that they offered to join the West Route Army, and some are trying to cross the canyons of the North Sunderland Mountains. They should be looking for Handa who is heading north. Reinforcements from the city of Nar." The magician Avid introduced everything in detail.
Suldak nodded, he was a little disgusted with the aristocratic military system of the Green Empire.
Many expeditionary armies are made up of the lord armies of noble lords, large and small. The noble lords also have to prepare all logistics materials for the lord armies that go out. That is to say, everything used by these lord armies on the battlefield is made of Those noble lords pay the bill, which is the basic investment in launching a war, and the spoils divided after the victory of the war are the specific income of these noble lords.
Although war is a violent industry, a victory can make everyone earn a lot of money, but the failure of the war means that these noble lords have nothing to lose...
Of course, in addition to these large and small noble lords who sent their lords to join the war, there are also some small nobles who cannot afford to support private troops and join the legion in their own name.
This kind of nobles often join some construction swordsman regiments, and they are responsible for their own expenses. However, after the war is won, the spoils are also owned by them personally. In many cases, the legion only takes a small percentage.
This kind of army belongs to the victory of the war. Everything is easy to say. Once the war has signs of failure, it will disintegrate quite quickly.
That's why some free noble knights took the opportunity of fighting to quietly leave the Constructed Swordsmen.
"At present, Marquis Simon Jeffrey is leading the rest of the Constructed Swordsman Regiment to be stationed on the south bank of Neihu Lake." The magician Avid added at this time.
Suldak asked again: "Where is the current location of Andrew's Constructed Knights?"
The magician Avid pointed to the canyon of the North Senderland Mountains and said: "They have entered the canyon and are planning to go through the canyon to the northern tundra, but the speed is a bit slow!"
Suldak and Samira raised their heads at the same time, looking at the magician Avid, waiting for his next explanation.
"Because the reinforcements from Handanal City had just passed through this canyon before, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the reinforcements gave the ghost warriors hiding in the mountains a taste of sweetness. These ghosts don't care much about the army passing through this valley. After all Is it the Reinforcement Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, or the Constructed Knights Regiment of the West Route Army."
"They are constantly harassing Andrew's Constructed Knights, but Andrew is eager to face all the evil spirits. The Constructed Knights are on the way... fighting with evil ghost warriors every day."
The magician Avid stopped after speaking.
Suldak asked again: "How many adventure groups are there in the North Sunderland Mountains?"
In fact, he is still a little worried about the adventure groups hunting in this area. Now a large number of evil spirit legions are rushing out of the North Senderland Mountains. Swallowed by the evil ghost army.
These adventure groups are the main force to clean up the remaining evil spirits after the war. If it can be done smoothly, Suldak still wants to take care of them.
"There are less than 100 groups. Most of the adventure groups are currently hunting evil spirits in the Mevajixi Canyon, and most of these adventure groups are located in the inner lake area." Evid said.
Samila, who was sitting next to her and hadn't spoken much, asked the magician Avid at this time: "Is there any news from the reinforcements in Handanal City?"
"The heavy armored infantry regiment on the side of the reinforcements is currently being bitten by a group of evil spirits. They have been forced to stop in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains. They are building a city like us, but due to the nearby There were no suitable building materials, just an earthen wall with trenches built on the hillside."
Magician Avid introduced.
…
While the magician Avid was reporting to Suldak all the information the magicians had detected, the reinforcements from Handanar City were fighting fiercely with the evil spirits on the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains.
The location of the battlefield happened to be on a soil slope. The terrain of this grass **** was very gentle. There was a huge ditch in the middle of the slope. On the other side of the ditch was an earth wall made of clay.
A group of evil spirits rushed over from the bottom of the earth **** with war blades in their hands. They jumped down the ditch against the rain of arrows, and then climbed over the earth wall to fight with the heavy armored infantry soldiers guarding behind.
Two rows of heavy shield warriors holding square tower shields stand at the front of the army formation. They use their shields to block the rushing ghost warriors, and the soldiers behind will also use Paglio spears to pierce the ghost's body.
However, the moment the evil spirits rushed forward, they would also rely on their tall bodies and the sharp blades in their hands to stab from the upper edge of the infantry warrior's tower shield. Many shield warriors had their heads cut off in this way, or simply A **** hole was stabbed in the face.
The evil ghost soldiers who rushed to the front almost all had a few spears and feather arrows stuck in their bodies. Before they fell down, they had to pounce on other heavy armored infantry soldiers, using their bone spurs to die with the infantry soldiers...
All ghost warriors will become extremely bloodthirsty on the battlefield, and they are not afraid of death. The ghost warriors rushing to the front kill a **** path and fall down, and the ghosts behind become even crazier.
This caused extremely heavy casualties to the shield warriors in the reinforcements in Handanar City.
In just half a day, Marquis Heller mobilized two heavy armored infantry regiments, mainly shield fighters, to the front battlefield.
At this moment, Marquis Heller's heart is also extremely bitter. If it weren't for the heads of these infantry regiments who wanted to hunt evil spirits on the way, causing so many evil spirits to follow them all the way, maybe he could build a city here. Village to.
As long as you rely on the fortifications of the city wall, you can stop these evil spirits in front of you...
But now! The earthen city wall has not been repaired, but this battle is almost being trampled down by the ghost warriors.
Fortunately, at dusk, these ghost warriors retreated hastily from the battlefield, which gave the reinforcements in Handanal City a chance to breathe.
The wounded heavy armored infantry soldiers withdrew from the battlefield to the back one after another, and the rest of the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, collecting valuables from the ghost soldiers, and then carried the corpses of the infantry soldiers who died in battle together to check their identities and organize their relics.
The heavy armored infantry regiment that did not participate in the battle had to take advantage of the night to rush to repair this huge trench and earth wall.
There are a lot of heavy armored infantry who died in the battle, but the reinforcements have no way to retreat and can only stick to this hillside.
There are not too many evil spirits gathered below the hillside. They are eating the food they got from the battlefield, and they will let out low-pitched roars from time to time.
Some time ago, the city of Handanal frequently received battle reports from the Bena Army and the West Route Army. Whether it is Kornberg County or the Gandar Er Mountains, there are many good news...
So much so that the lords in the city felt that fighting the evil spirits might make victory easier.
The lords think... maybe the evil spirits in the abyss have now realized that there is no living space in the Warsaw plane, so they have no fighting spirit, so that the Bena Army has won successive victories, even guarding the Ganda The West Route Army on the edge of the Er Mountains also killed a large number of evil spirits.
But now, when Marquis Heller actually came to the battlefield on the Moyunling Highlands, he realized that it seemed completely false to say that the ghost warriors had no fighting power.
Those evil spirits can really eat people on the battlefield. They eat people, horses, dry food, almost anything...
