MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1541 1528. Reinforcements in Handanal City

  Chapter 1541 1528. The reinforcements of Handanar City

In the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains, this mountain range runs across the middle of the Moyunling Highlands and is closely connected with Horsens Mountain in the west of the Moyunling Mountains. The entire mountain range runs east-west, and the east of the mountain range reaches the largest cold-water lake in the middle of the Moyunling Mountains—the inner lake. .

This mountain range divides the land in the west of Moyunling into two, and now the reinforcements of Handanal City have included the land extending 200 kilometers along the west bank of the inner lake into the occupied area. The boundary markers have been buried, and almost all of the most fertile land west of the central highland has been occupied.

  A heavy armored infantry regiment of 40,000 men is marching mightily through a canyon in the eastern mountains of the North Sunderland Mountains under the leadership of Marquis Valentin Heller.

This canyon happens to be the connecting channel between the north and south lands in the western area of ​​the Moyunling Highlands. Currently, the reinforcements in Handanal City want to enter the northern area from the southern area in the west. Passing here is the fastest way, except for this canyon In addition, if you want to enter the North District, you must go around along the shore of the inner lake. Not only will you walk three times longer, but you will also pass through the territory of Earl Suldak.

  Of course, Marquis Heller is also confident that he can pass through smoothly, so he will take this road with the brigade.

  Before that, Marquis Simon Jeffrey had led 1,500 constructed swordsmen as the vanguard, and they passed through the canyon very smoothly.

  The construction swordsmen also saw some evil spirits along the way, but after seeing the construction swordsman, those evil ghost warriors couldn't wait to get into the mountains, looking like they had no fighting spirit, and they looked like they couldn't wait to escape for their lives.

  The Marquis of Heller hopes to bury a large number of boundary markers on the edge of the land in the northern part of the western part of the highland as soon as possible. Only in this way can it be proved that this land belongs to the lords of Handanal City.

Each of these heavy armored infantry soldiers is equipped with two war horses. Not only can they switch when they are marching in a hurry, but they can also let the other horse carry heavy armor and luggage. Let Gu Bo come back to his horse to restore his strength.

  Facts have proved that the information sent by Marquis Jeffrey is very accurate.

   Along the way, Marquis Heller also encountered several waves of ghost warriors, but after seeing the heavy armored infantry, they retreated into the mountains without even fighting.

  Marquis Heller never expected that those ghost warriors who existed on the battlefield in Kornberg County were as cowardly as mice hiding in burrows on Moyun Ridge.

  This canyon looks extremely quiet, with sparse forests on both sides of the canyon, only occasionally the sound of birdsong.

  It just rained heavily in the morning, and the road in the canyon looked a little muddy. The rainwater flowing down the hillside merged into a muddy river at the bottom of the canyon, and the water flow was not rushing.

  Maybe it’s because of the rain just now, and the surroundings are filled with fresh smells.

  Countless horses trampled the only road in the canyon, and a herald came from behind on a fast horse.

Under him was riding a different ancient Bolai war horse. There were a few dark lines on the front legs of this horse, and when it ran, it was like a gust of wind. Sometimes, they are farther than other ancient Bolai horses.

  The young herald was wearing leather armor, accompanied by a knight's long sword, and a leather satchel on his back, and chased straight towards the place where Marquis Heller was.

   When he arrived in front of Marquis Heller, he was stopped by two personal guards beside Marquis Heller.

   "Marquis Heller, I am the herald of the West Route Army, Commander Suldak wrote you a letter..."

  The herald took out a scroll of parchment from the leather satchel, and shouted at the Marquis of Heller not far ahead.

  Marquis Heller frowned slightly, and turned to look at the herald with some dissatisfaction. His eyes were a little cold, which made the herald shut up immediately.

"bring here!"

   After a while, Marquis Heller spoke to the guards beside him.

The personal guard quickly took the letter from the herald, and handed it to Marquis Heller. Marquis Heller unfolded the parchment, read the letter silently, and then came with an intriguing smile on his lips. .

   "Tell Earl Suldak that I have received and read his letter, and I will try my best to cooperate with his actions."

  After saying this sentence, Marquis Heller paused, his tone became a little uncertain, and then he said:

   "However, the situation on the battlefield in the North Sunderland Mountains is more complicated. Our heavy armored infantry regiment in Handanar City has limited combat effectiveness, and may not enter Horsens Mountain as scheduled."

   "Everything is kept simple on the march, so I won't write a reply letter. Just follow what I said and send a message to Earl Suldak."

   "Have you memorized what I said?" Marquis Heller's voice rose, and the ending was even a little sharp.

  The herald kept his head down, and when he heard Marquis Heller's question, he quickly said, "I've written it all down..."

  Marquis Heller waved his hand, indicating that the orderly could leave.

   Then he turned around and continued on his way...

  As for Suldak's order to send reinforcements westward along the Villagasi hills, Marquis Valentin Heller pretended he didn't see it at all.

What a joke, now that the reinforcements from Handanal City are about to pass through the North Senderland Mountains and enter the northern part of the western part of the Moyunling Highlands, how could they return the same way at this time, and then summon the heavy armored infantry scattered in other places? The corps, following the route drawn by Suldak, approached the camp of evil spirits.

  They didn't come here to kill many ghost warriors. Marquis Heller is quite familiar with the terrifying fighting power of the ghost fighters.

The main purpose of their coming here is to occupy more land. Since the hateful Lord Suldak has already included all the best eastern regions into his territory, the Marquis of Heller must of course allocate the remaining land to the Han Dynasty as much as possible. Occupied area of ​​Darnar City reinforcements.

   As for whether or not Earl Suldak's military orders were obeyed on the battlefield in the Moyunling Highlands, it depends on how it is said.

An Earl commander wants a noble Marquis to carry out military orders. Even if Earl Surdak sues the House of Representatives in Benar, he can only argue with each other, even if the Marquis Luther stands behind him, but Heller The Marquis is the noble lords of Handanal City.

  Marquis Heller thought of this, and waved to a personal guard beside him.

  The personal guard rode over and shouted respectfully: "Master Marquis!"

   "Send an order to the soldiers in front to speed up, try to pass through this canyon before dark, and try not to conflict with the evil spirits here." Marquis Heller ordered the guards around him.

   "Yes." The guard replied immediately.

  …

During the recent period, the reinforcements have also encountered ghost warriors in the mountains of North Senderland several times, but the number of those ghost fighters is very small, only dozens... hundreds of them, and the number of reinforcements encountered in Handanal City Thousands of troops ran into the mountains without looking back.

   These encounters with the evil spirits gave Marquis Heller a lot of confidence, thinking that those evil spirits were nothing more than that.

In fact, many of these evil ghost fighters escaped from Beishan Pass. All the confidence of the evil ghosts who experienced the Battle of Beishan Pass was lost. They hid in this mountain just because they could still enter the mountain. Find something to eat so you don't starve yourself to death.

  When they saw the army of the Green Empire, they would hide subconsciously.

   Fleeing from the battlefield at the North Pass all the way into the North Senderland Mountains, I don’t know how many companions died along the way. At this time, a large number of heavy armored infantry regiments passed through the canyon, and they didn’t even have the idea of ​​​​harassing them.

   There are many such ghost squads along the North Sunderland Mountains, and they will always gather in dozens and hundreds, so that they don't have to be afraid of the demon hunters in most adventure groups.

  …

  Although Marquis Valentine Heller has no idea of ​​fighting this group of ghost warriors, this does not represent the idea of ​​all the reinforcements.

  This reinforcement from the city of Handanal was actually put together by many lord armies. Marquis Heller was only the supreme commander of the reinforcement army, and the real command of many lord armies was still in the hands of the heads of the infantry regiments.

  Everyone saw that the ghost warriors in the North Senderland Mountains were as cowardly as mice, and some heads of infantry regiments came to life.

  The support army forcibly ran into the Moyunling highlands, in addition to wanting to occupy some land, the other is to get some unidentified black magic crystals.

  Now that a large area of ​​land has been included in the territory of the occupied area, the heads of the infantry regiments are thinking about whether they can get some unidentified black magic crystals at the lowest cost.

  Marquis Nishizawa's acquisition plan of the magic crystal here has not been going smoothly, so these regiment leaders have some careful thoughts when they see the evil ghost fighters emerging from the mountains.

   There will always be some warrior squads in the reinforcements, in the name of scouting the surrounding enemy situation, sneaking into the woods on both sides of the canyon to hunt evil spirits.

  …

  These warrior squads took some advantage in the early stage.

  North Sunderland has no steep peaks, it is more like a piece of closely overlapping hills.

The mountains on both sides of this canyon are also quite gentle, and the forests on the hillside are like black patterns on cows, distributed among the mountains in patches, and the rest are covered with moss, grass and patches of bushes , Of course, you can also see patches of rocky areas.

  A heavy-armored infantry squadron riding Gu Bolai's war horse crossed the mountain in front of them, and the scouts in the team followed the footprints left by the evil spirits on the grass after the rain to the front of the forest area.

  The squadron leader of the heavy armored infantry squadron even smelled the peculiar stench of the evil spirit coming from the woods in front.

The woods were extremely quiet, not even cicadas and birds chirping. Following the squadron leader waving his hand to the back, more than a hundred infantry soldiers jumped off their horses one after another, quickly put their battle armors on their bodies, and jumped out of the saddle. Take out the sword and shield from the hanger.

  They obviously did not rush into the woods, but quickly formed a square formation in front of the woods.

  Shield warriors are at the front, followed by warriors holding spears and warriors holding large axes. Only this kind of mixed heavy armored infantry regiment can quickly kill evil spirits in battle.

  For the heavy armored infantry, forming a phalanx and rushing in is far more stable than a small team rushing into the woods scattered.

  Several scouts with scouting capabilities were mixed in the team of shield warriors. They were wearing heavy armor and holding standard repeating crossbows. The trees in this dense forest were full of weeds...

  The forest is not too big, so several scouts circled around the forest, judging that there cannot be too many ghost fighters hidden here.

   This is also the reason why the squadron leader decided to fight here.

   Just as the entire row of shield warriors stepped into the woods, the scouts mixed in with the shield warrior team discovered the ghost warrior hiding behind the tree, with several bone spurs sticking out from behind the tree trunk...

  Several scouts shot crossbow arrows at the ghost warriors almost separately.

   Battles are imminent.

  Some ghost warriors had no intention of fighting at all, and when they saw the heavy armored infantry rushing in from outside the woods, they hurriedly retreated.

   There are also some ghost warriors who don't want to run away anymore. They rushed out from behind the tree trunk with their war blades in their hands, and strode towards the phalanx with big strides.

   It's just that there were only seven ghost warriors who had the courage to rush over, and the rest chose to escape from the woodland quickly.

More than a hundred heavily armed heavy armored infantry soldiers collided with seven ghost warriors, especially a row of shield warriors in front. spear…

These evil ghost warriors never thought of dodging at all, even though those spears pierced through the bone armor of their bodies, although the war blades in their hands were blocked by shields, they swept across the heads of those shield warriors with their physical advantages .

Three shield warriors dodged swiftly, but the other four shield warriors failed to dodge. Two war blades slashed on the iron helmet, drawing a spark, and the other two war blades slashed along the helmet and chest. The gap in the armor cut into the neck, and the heads of the two infantry soldiers flew out together with the helmets.

  The ghost warriors reached out and grabbed the spears pierced into their bodies. When they were dying, they spun their bodies wildly, and the spears were forcibly swung up.

  The spear fighters were caught off guard, and all the spears fell out of their hands.

   Immediately, the ghost warrior strode into the phalanx. This endless battle is destined to end only when one side completely falls down.

  The heavy armored infantry squadron took a quarter of an hour to besiege and kill the seven evil spirits, but they also paid a heavy price with five deaths and seventeen injuries.

  The evil spirits who are desperate to fight back are much stronger than they thought.

  At the end of the battle, the ax warriors behind the team quickly rushed up and chopped off the heads of the evil spirits. The warriors with skinning skills began to peel off the black devil's skin, which they did very skillfully.

   There are also some soldiers who help their wounded comrades to bandage up. As for the dead comrades, they will be buried in situ, and their horses, armor weapons, and personal property will be taken back by the squadron leader of the battle group.

   This is the battle of ordinary infantry soldiers. These soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and no one has a nervous breakdown just because a few people died.

  Everyone is doing their part to clean up the battlefield. The wounded soldiers will be sent to the legion by their companions, and the others will continue to chase the escaped six ghost soldiers along the trail.

After this battle, these infantry fighters were completely awake. The ghost fighters hiding in this mountain did not seem to have changed in any way. The evil spirits are more wretched...
