Chapter 1550 1536. Battle of the Highlands 6
The battle between the reinforcements in Handanal City and the evil spirits is still going on. The evil spirits insist on attacking the camp where the reinforcements are stationed every day during the daytime. At dusk, the evil spirits will retreat very simply. Never delay for a moment.
This made the reinforcements standing on the tundra in the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains somewhat confused. They felt that this group of ghost warriors seemed to be afraid of the dark.
On the northern tundra, nearly ten thousand evil ghost fighters confronted the reinforcements of Handanal City.
At night, the reinforcements will take the opportunity to repair the earth wall, and also clean up the trenches under the earth wall.
During the day, the shield warriors of the heavy armored infantry regiment will stand at the forefront of the army formation, fighting to the death with the ghost fighters. Although nearly a thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers die every day, the battle between the reinforcements and the ghosts has not changed signs.
The two sides have been in a stalemate on this **** for several days, and the reinforcements have continued to suffer casualties for several days, which has caused the morale of the infantry soldiers in the legion to be low...
Many heavy armored infantry regiments bravely went to the battlefield. Although they could harvest some spoils every day, the laughter of a few days ago had long since disappeared in the barracks.
A row of wounded soldiers sat in front of the tent and basked in the sun. Apart from worrying about the current battle situation, there seemed to be a kind of relief on their faces.
Instead, those heavy armored infantry regiments that hadn't yet had their turn to go to the battlefield became a little lifeless, and practiced their formation on the grass behind the camp in advance.
And those shield warriors wished to turn their heavy armor into canned luncheon meat. They also had to wear a layer of tight leather armor inside the full-cover armor, and added a layer of armor to the helmet, determined to arm themselves to the teeth.
In just a few days, Marquis Valentin Heller's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. After fighting this evil spirit army for a few days, the reinforcements had no chance to withdraw from this battlefield.
The only way to get rid of these ghost warriors right now is to hope for other reinforcements.
Thinking about it, I find it ironic that my army itself came here as reinforcements from Handanal City, but now it is stuck on the battlefield in the northern tundra of the North Sunderland Mountains, waiting for other lords to come rescue...
But on this Moyunling Highland, there is no other army at all except Suldak's West Route Army.
Looking at the glowing red brazier in front of him, Marquis Valentin Heller, who was sitting on the armchair, felt disturbed for a while, thinking that he still thought of the battle situation on Moyun Ridge too simply, in order to occupy more territory, The reinforcements actually ran into a dangerous situation without knowing it.
Thinking of this, Marquis Heller reached out and picked up the gold quill pen from a wooden table that he made up temporarily. After dipping a little ink, he quickly wrote a line on a piece of parchment. After writing, he will The parchment was rolled into a roll, tied with string, and then another sheet was written.
The previous letter was written by him to Earl Suldak, and he didn't even dare to think about Suldak's expression when he saw the letter.
The second letter was written by him to Marquis Simon Geoffrey.
‘I hope that after Marquis Jeffrey reads this letter, he can lead the construction swordsman group over from the south as soon as possible. ’ Marquis Heller thought to himself while sitting on a chair.
"Come on!"
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to deliver these two letters, this one to Marquis Simon Geoffrey, and this one to Earl Suldak of the West Route Army, as soon as possible!"
Marquis Heller's voice was a little hoarse.
He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, only to find that there was only a bit of bitter tea residue left in the cup.
"Yes, my lord!"
The adjutant who walked in from the outside responded immediately.
Not long after, two messengers left the reinforcement camp on fast horses. They circled the battlefield ahead and ran straight towards the North Sunderland Mountains.
At this time, the Caopo battlefield is still full of shouts and killings...
…
When the constructed swordsman group passed the easternmost end of the North Sunderland Mountains, Marquis Simon Geoffrey saw another army of evil spirits assembled and headed south.
With each swordsman owning two horses, the Constructed Swordsman Group successfully got rid of the pursuit of the group of evil spirits, leaving the evil spirits far behind in the hilly land.
At this time, he has brought the construction swordsman group to the shore of the inner lake in the easternmost part of the North Senderland Mountains. There are many traces left by the adventure group in this area. The clear lake water is rolled with white waves. On the pebbles on the shore.
This inner lake covers a large area, and the lake is clear, like a flawless sapphire inlaid at the easternmost end of the North Sunderland Mountains.
It was the rainy season at this time, and the water level of the lake continued to rise, and in some places it had spread to the grassland by the lake.
The Constructed Swordsman Corps camped on the high hill on the bank, and the atmosphere inside the legion seemed a bit dull.
In order to get rid of the pursuit of the evil spirits, the constructed swordsmen went through a battle, which shocked everyone. If it weren't for the highly mobile group of constructed swordsmen, these constructed swordsmen might not be able to fight in that group. The chasing evil ghost warrior retreated completely.
Just three days ago, they had just seen the almost unilateral massacre of the West Route Army Constructed Knights.
Those constructed knights hold knight spears, and every time they charge at the limit distance, they can nail a group of evil spirits to the grass, and then let the group of cavalry sitting on the monsters chop off the heads of the evil spirits.
Every charge of the constructed knights will smash the evil ghost army to pieces.
But it was the turn of Marquis Simon Geoffrey's Constructed Swordsman Group to face a hunting group of less than a thousand ghost fighters in the eastern part of the North Sunderland Mountains. Not only did his Constructed Swordsman Group fail to kill the A group of evil ghost fighters were almost held back by these evil ghost fighters, and then surrounded and annihilated by a large number of evil ghosts catching up from behind...
The disparity in combat power between the two constructed legions wiped out the last bit of pride in Marquis Simon Jeffrey's heart.
It's not that he doesn't know how many constructed swordsmen have gone away in private recently, but what's the use of knowing, can he personally lead people to chase those deserters back?
The lords of Handanal City have always rejected Duke Newman's call-up order. It is the noble lords who are pessimistic about the war between the Benar army and the evil ghost army. However, the victory of the battle in Kornberg County made these noble lords Some new ideas sprouted in my heart.
Finally, these ideas can be put into action, so a reinforcement army was born to reinforce the Moyunling Highlands.
But on the battlefield, Marquis Simon Geoffrey discovered how big the gap between the armies really was...
However, he couldn't bring these constructed swordsmen out of the battlefield at Moyunling Highlands. His current task is to guard the boundary marker line in the south of the Villagasi Hills, but now... the entire Villagasi Hills has been captured by three evil spirits. The legion was torn apart, and his constructed swordsman group even wanted to hide by the Neihu Lake.
Many constructed swordsmen have expressed their dissatisfaction with him in private, but this is actually not the worst.
Received the news from the reinforcements in the morning, which made the current situation of Marquis Jeffrey even worse.
In fact, he hoped that the construction swordsman group could be stationed in Neihu to restore morale, but the reinforcement army is currently fighting the evil spirit army. Looking at the parchment in his hand, the messenger is still standing aside and looking at him eagerly.
Marquis Jeffrey took a deep breath, then put the parchment roll aside, and said to the messenger: "Put my letter to Marquis Heller as soon as possible!"
Although he said so, he hasn't written yet...
After thinking for a long time, Marquis Jeffrey prepared his words before starting to write:
‘Dear Valentine Heller:
I hope that by the time you read this letter from me, the situation on your side has gradually turned around.
After receiving your letter, I immediately assembled the armored swordsman group, abandoned the southern line of the Villagasi Hills, and rushed to the northern tundra. I know how cruel this war is, and I hope you can persist one time! '
There was only a trace of dim sparks left in the brazier, and a layer of silver frost covered the bottom of the basin. Marquis Simon Geoffrey picked up the teapot hanging from the brazier and poured himself a cup of warm black tea.
He stood up and cut off a piece of red ink pad with a silver knife, put the ink pad into the brazier to soften with the knife, then rolled up the letter, stuck it with the ink pad and handed it to the courier beside him.
Then he strode out of the tent, waved to a group of Constructed Swordsman Corps officers who were already waiting outside the tent, and said loudly:
"Everyone, everyone must have heard that the main force of our infantry regiment is currently being attacked by the evil ghost army in the northern tundra of the North Sunderland Mountains. The battle there is fierce. Marquis Heller hopes that we can construct the swordsman regiment Support the past as soon as possible, and wipe out those evil spirits as soon as possible..."
As he talked, Marquis Jeffrey regretted that he should have rejected Captain Andrew's proposal. If the Constructed Swordsmen and the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army were united at this moment, as long as they rushed to the northern tundra, it is estimated that The reinforcements can be rescued from the crisis.
Now, he had to lead this group of constructed swordsmen with less than 1,300 people across the North Senderland Mountains immediately.
…
When the messengers of the reinforcement rode fast horses to the West Route Army barracks day and night, they saw thousands of ghost soldiers rushing towards the hillside of Gaogang, towards the city wall that the West Route Army had just built, which was less than ten meters high. climb.
The deep roars of the evil spirits almost filled the entire battlefield.
And the evil ghost army probably has assembled more than 30,000 evil ghost fighters, and these evil ghost fighters are densely packed in the hilly land of Villagaxi.
Compared with the heavy armored infantry regiment of the reinforcements, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the West Route Army seems to have a lot of rules when facing the evil ghost fighters, and there is a ten-meter-high city wall under their feet, and the three-meter-high evil ghost If soldiers want to rush to the city wall, they still need to climb up.
The heavy armored infantry at the head of the city stood in a row with Paglio spears in their hands, stabbed out the spears in their hands almost at the same time, and then quickly made room for the spear warriors behind them.
When the ghost warriors rushed to the top of the wall, they almost always had at least two spears stuck in their bodies.
Then they will see the shield warriors hiding behind the wall. Almost all the officers in the infantry regiment are standing at the front of the city wall with swords and shields...
Because Commander Suldak will also face the group of evil ghost soldiers on the city wall, a halo of fanaticism lit up under his feet and spread to the feet of other heavy armored infantry soldiers, causing powerful forces to surge from the feet of those infantry soldiers. The angel phantom that appeared was like the most dazzling banner on the city wall.
As long as the infantry soldiers guarding the city wall saw the phantom of the angel, they knew that the supreme commander of the West Route Army, Earl Suldak, was also fighting with everyone.
The golden shield in Suldak's hand is simply the nightmare of all ghost warriors. No war blade can pierce this shield, and some ghost generals will climb up to the top of the city amidst the crowd of ghosts.
But no matter which section of the city wall, there will be a strong second-rank figure every 100 meters.
The two-headed ogre Gullitum, the half-elf archer Samira, and the heavy-armed gunner Carrie Decker each guarded a section of the city wall, and among the other lord armies of the West Route Army, there were several relatively low-key secondary soldiers. Those who turned strong, at this time, naturally climbed onto the city wall one after another to fight against the evil ghost generals who sneaked up.
Everyone fought this battle with more confidence, because as long as it was dragged to sunset, the ghost warriors would recede like a tide.
Even at dusk, when the infantry regiments from the West Route Army camp rushed out of the camp, the evil ghost army on the opposite side would quickly retreat northward from the Villagasi Hills. They retreated very decisively without any hesitation. , resolutely do not give the fog of war a chance to engulf it.
In the past two days, the evil spirits have almost always attacked the barracks during the day.
Suldak only needs to guard during the daytime, and the camp here is safe.
Warning with the West Route Army in the south of the Villagaxi hills, the evil spirits were a little helpless to find that the West Route Army was still so fierce. In two days, the evil ghost army successively killed six evil ghost generals.
Except when they attacked the West Route Army on the first day, the ghost fighters gained certain advantages.
For the rest of the time, the ghost warriors were firmly pressed under the city wall by the heavy armored infantry...
Actually, there are still 30,000 aboriginal fighters from the Aegrod Tribe in the West Route Army at this moment, and this tribal army is accompanied by two great witches.
On the first day, there were no fresh sacrifices on the side of the West Route Army. After the heads of the evil spirits were cut off after the battle, the great witches here had enough sacrifices. Anyway, the heads of these evil spirits were thrown in the The box will also rot slowly, so it is better to sacrifice it out, so that the infantry soldiers defending the city will have the blessing of the "Body of God".
Suldak doesn't need to do this kind of thing. On the temporary altar, two great witches are blessing the infantry soldiers waiting in line to bless the gods.
Therefore, the battle situation on the side of the West Route Army seems to be fierce, but in fact the West Route Army has an absolute advantage. Suldak didn't even use the cannon fodder corps of ghost-striped red ants hidden in the back, and he was stable. Hold this unbuilt stronghold.
Of course, in the eyes of the reinforcement messenger, the scene in front of us was extremely hopeless, because the West Route Army also encountered the attack of the evil ghost army, which meant that they could not allocate troops to help the Marquis of Heller...
