291. The Dilemma of the Hunters in El City
This war, which was doomed to the end of the barbarians from the beginning, finally ended when the first warm southeastern trade wind blew into the province of Sloyd in early spring.
...
The war began on the eve of dawn, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps by God’s favor of prepared people. At the beginning of this battle, Senior Benjamin made his first achievement in his military career.
On the night he took turns in the Knights of the Guard Battalion, he first discovered the barbarians who took advantage of the eve of dawn to find the city to be attacked.
The reason was that before going to bed last night, he asked his companions to tie himself down the city wall and set up ten warning magic traps in front of the position near the moat on this side of the city wall.
Unexpectedly, seven traps were trampled by the barbarians who were quietly touched by the night. The ordinary "frost scroll" could not bring any damage to the barbarians. Even the cold feeling was so weak, but the frost scroll exploded with a large piece of ice fog. The ice fog burst out from the seven "frost" magic scrolls was full of ice fog. The ice fog not only blocked the barbarian's view, but also woke up the warriors who were in charge of guarding the city wall that was asleep.
The scenery under the city was filled with ice fog, and suddenly it was like a mirror shattering. The originally calm dark night scene suddenly turned into a frozen moat filled with barbarians who were walking slowly - the whole group of barbarians!
The soldiers crawled out of the sleeping bag at the top of the city with pale faces, watching the nearly a thousand barbarian soldiers in the ice fog under the city crowded with people, stepping across the moat like a pile of locusts.
Benjamin shouted loudly to the messenger responsible for blowing the horn of the battle: "Blow the horn quickly, and the barbarians under the city will start to attack the city!"
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The horn made of the long rhinoceros horn of a single-horned bison sounded a dull buzzing sound. In an instant, swords and soldiers lit up on the northern city walls. The guards crawled out of their sleeping bags in panic. Looking at the barbarians who were about to approach the city, they hurriedly carried huge rocks from the pile of supplies behind the city wall to the battlements of the city wall.
"What's the matter? What about sentry?" A knight in heavy armor strode up and asked loudly to the soldier who was in charge of guarding the sentry: "Why don't you report this savage man when you touch it?"
The soldiers guarding the post replied with a panic look on their faces: "Sir, everything is normal in the city before, these savages suddenly appeared!"
He looked at the knight guiltily, and found it ridiculous for his seemingly free from guilt, but in fact it was.
The knight scolded fiercely: "Absurd!"
If it weren't for the front line, maybe the soldier in charge of guarding the sentry would be whipped.
General Willy Mommy walked over and said, "Stop talking, it is the 'group camouflage technique' of the great barbarian wizard. Get ready for the battle! The messenger, find out the armor-piercing arrows, and we will suppress this charge!"
The messenger next to him secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied: "As for orders, general!"
Seeing a large number of barbarians touching the other side of the moat under the mist, Willy Momm, the general who was on duty, decisively ordered the soldiers guarding the city to go directly to the armor-piercing arrows, which was very tough to block the first round of attacks by the barbarians. The arrows with the iron-piercing arrows with three-edged barbs were made of magic black iron powder. Within twenty steps, a strong bow could penetrate a shield that was one centimeter thick. Ordinary barbarian warriors only had a heart armor on their hearts. They wore bristles and wolves boots and dared to carry an axe to attack the city.
The chest of the barbarian, who is nearly 250 cm tall, is very wide and thick. The strong chest muscles make them fear ordinary arrows. At this time, the huge power of the armor-piercing arrow is undoubtedly revealed. The sword tip, which is almost three inches long, can easily penetrate the barbarian's thick chest. Moreover, it is difficult to pull out quickly in a little muscle of this kind of arrow. If it is pulled out recklessly, the three-edged barbs on the arrow tip will destroy the muscle fibers and cause irreparable trauma.
It is precisely because many barbarians suffer a lot under armor-piercing arrows that it can be said that barbarians hate the human armor-piercing arrows very much. Armor-piercing arrows cannot be popularized in the army for various reasons. There are many reasons, high cost, small output, and tight military expenditure are the main factors. Therefore, on the battlefield, once a human warrior uses armor-piercing arrows, it will be the first target for barbarians to snipe.
In such a siege battle that is either dead or alive, the defending soldiers have no way of retreat. Being a deserter is more terrifying than death. Therefore, it is the wisest choice to defeat the enemy with thunder from the beginning. These soldiers in the guard battalions have learned bowing techniques. After a moment, armor-piercing arrows fell from the city like raindrops. Senior Benjamin also stood in the guarding team, and put all his strength into pulling the alloy bow and shooting an armor-piercing arrow out.
For a moment, the armor-piercing arrows killed the barbarian warriors without armor to the point of being overwhelmed. The barbarians who rushed in the front were shot to death in an instant. When the barbarian warriors who followed behind saw their tragic death companions, they not only did not retreat, but instead became fiercer and more fierce and rushed to the city.
More than a dozen barbarian warriors mixed in the crowd of sieges, and when they approached the city, they ran up in the rain of arrows, and accelerated to step on the two barbarians' mounts. They were suddenly lifted up by the two barbarians. With this huge momentum, he jumped high and landed directly on the city wall that was more than 30 meters high. He carried a huge mountain-opening axe and used the "torna slash" at the same time. He was like a dozen meat grinders, shattering a bloody storm on the city wall.
These barbarian warriors with a strength of comparable level 10 warriors to kill the city walls in a random way, instantly strangled the warriors on this section of the city walls and quickly advanced along the side of the city walls. Benjamin also happened to be stationed on this section of the city walls. He and several soldiers were forced to retreat to the side of the arrows. They leaned against the high arrows behind them, holding long spears in their hands, fighting to the death against the attack of a barbarian warrior.
The barbarian warrior holding a mountain axe in his hand had a fierce grin on his face. The giant axe in his hand surrounded his body and rushed towards Benjamin frantically. The ironwood pole of the long halberd was cut into several segments by the mountain axe. Benjamin and several companions looked at the barbarian warrior who was approaching like a meat grinder in despair...
A huge two-handed sword held the mountain-opening axe that the barbarian warrior slashed down. A big knight in full-covered armor stood in front of Benjamin and resisted the fierce attack for him. However, the bluestone slab under the big knight's feet was shattered by him. The barbarian warrior looked at the big knight who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock, raised the mountain-opening axe high with a fierce face, and slashed heavily on the two-handed sword that had no time to withdraw.
The Great Knight was slashed back by a huge force, and his back hit Benjamin's chest. The huge force made Benjamin's throat sweet and he spewed out a mouthful of warm blood.
The big knight in full-covered armor took another step forward with difficulty. He found that he could not retreat or avoid the attack of the barbarian warriors.
The power of the Great Knight was slightly inferior to that of the Barbarian Warriors. The Barbarian's continuous slashing made him overwhelmed for a while. At this time, any moves and combat skills seemed so pale and powerless in front of the power. When the Barbarian's fifth slashing was blocked, the Great Knight was even completely numb with his arms, and he could not lift the giant two-handed sword in his hand anyway.
I saw the savage warrior on the opposite side suddenly jumped up...
"Jumping"
The Great Knight sighed helplessly. After all, he was slightly inferior to the barbarian warrior on the ice and snow tundra in terms of strength, but even though he knew it was death, he did not take a step back.
This may be the so-called chivalrous spirit. Benjamin, who was standing behind the Great Knight, seemed to have a warm current passing through his body on his chest. He suddenly remembered the short gun hanging around his waist, and his hands couldn't help but touch it.
With a "bang", a pool of blood suddenly surged from the savage's eye socket. A heart-wrenching roar was slashed with the mountain-opening axe. Unfortunately, one of his eyes lost sight at this time. How could he miss such an opportunity? He rolled sideways on the ground and avoided the dying axe. The giant two-handed sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting a letter. It inserted it from the barbarian warrior's left rib and directly cut off the artery above his heart. The blood mist sprayed out suddenly.
The barbarian warrior held the giant two-handed sword in both hands and knelt on the ground and died angry and unwillingly.
However, the great knight picked up the mountain-piercing axe that the barbarian warrior threw on the ground, stood up and made a move of victory and glory to Benjamin, and rushed to the most stalemate in the war without hesitation. The heavy infantry that had just arrived from the rear was killed by three barbarian warriors on the city wall.
Benjamin instinctively looked to the left and found that the most elite heavy infantry in the guard battalion, holding heavy spears, rushed here along the passages on both sides of the city wall, and collided with dozens of barbarian warriors. However, even the most elite heavy infantry in the guard battalion in El City was still far inferior to the barbarian warriors in terms of strength. They needed three to five people to draw with a barbarian, but on this not-so-wide wall, it was impossible to arrange military formations. At this time, the barbarian warriors with few people and strong individual strength had the advantage. The heavy infantry in the guard battalion was severely damaged for a while.
The fellow warriors around him sat aside with pale faces. It seemed that the "God of Death" had scared him out of his courage just now, and his legs were so weak that he could not stand up.
Benjamin ignored his companions, but touched the alloy bow beside him, pulled out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver, and shot at the barbarian warriors on the city wall.
The barbarians on the other side of the moat drove the heavy siege cars and crossed the ice of the moat. Amid the crying of despair, the siege cars more than 40 meters high turned huge wooden wheels and slowly moved forward. The barbarians holding short spears kept waving their arms and threw out the short spears made of pure iron. For a moment, the flying spears falling from the sky pierced the chests of the several archers on the city wall.
There were also barbarian warriors throwing short spears on the siege car and kept hitting arrows and falling from the siege car dozens of meters high.
The sound of lion eagles came from a distance. The Lion eagle knights stationed here in the North Wind Legion finally rushed into the battlefield. For the barbarians, these Lion eagle knights flying in the sky can only fight with flying axes. However, as long as the Lion eagle knights maintain a certain height, the barbarians have no choice but to those Lion eagle knights. Each Lion eagle knight is very powerful in combat and is good at throwing flying spears. They can even snipe the great witches in the barbarian team at high altitude. Sure enough, those great witches disappeared after the Lion eagle knight appeared.
...
The northern city wall was captured by the barbarians for only a quarter of an hour. At this time, the sound of reeds being pulled tightly was heard on the arrow tower dozens of meters away. The crossbow chariot in the tower finally adjusted its shooting angle. After a loud "buzzing" sound of the bowstring, a giant crossbow arrow five meters long turned into a phantom, breaking through the air with a sharp buzzing sound, and directly crashed into the barbarian warriors on the city wall.
The barbarian warrior heard a strange sound behind him, and instinctively waved the giant axe and slashed back. When he turned completely, he was shocked to find that a super-large crossbow arrow that was three points thicker than his thigh had reached his sight. The sharp conical arrow tip was only one meter long, and it directly knocked away the mountain-opening axe in the hand of the barbarian warrior. The entire giant crossbow arrow penetrated the body of the barbarian warrior, leaving a blood hole the size of a sea bowl on the barbarian warrior's chest.
At this moment, the city guards of El City Guard Battalion sounded the horn of counterattack.
The crossbow chariots on several arrow towers pointed at more than a dozen barbarian warriors on the city wall. With the cooperation of the archers and heavy infantrymen, the 100-meter-long city wall captured by the barbarian warriors lost ground and was constantly taken back by the guard battalion soldiers.
At the same time, a huge siege car had successfully crossed the ice of the moat and made a huge roar when it hit the city wall.
The savage warriors, like a tide, climbed up the wooden steps behind the siege car, and wanted to support the dozen barbarian warriors fighting alone on the city wall. Those tribal warriors who fought against ten were the heroes in the minds of every barbarian warrior. They were using their lives to block all the pressure on the city wall, so that these barbarian warriors could climb up smoothly.
With a loud "boom", another huge siege car hit the city wall. However, this giant siege car weighed too much and was not too strong. It collapsed when it touched the city wall. Although the siege car collapsed, the wooden steps remained, and the barbarians holding huge door panels were swarming up.
The soldiers stationed on the city wall gathered together, holding hard bows in their hands, and followed behind the heavy infantry, trying to drive more than a dozen barbarian warriors guarding the city wall.
The current situation is not optimistic. If there is no way to force the barbarian warriors down the city wall before those barbarian warriors climb up the city wall, then the battle will be half lost.
Benjamin was mixed in the crowd, constantly shooting arrows, and naturally he was anxious.
However, those crazy-like barbarian warriors, even if they were covered with armor-piercing arrows like hedgehogs, would never retreat as long as they had a breath.
A magician wearing a silver magic robe stood on a magic broom and rushed out of the air.
Benjamin looked carefully and found that it was Teacher Ethan from the Magic Academy. He found that his gorgeous robe had black magic runes embroidered on his robe, and his whole body was covered with a transparent air cover. He saw him flexibly landing on the city, only a few meters away from the barbarians on the siege cars. Suddenly, he stood in the magic broom and pushed his hands forward.
"Air Explosion Technique"
A huge and irresistible thrust suddenly appeared in the air, which actually blown all the barbarian warriors on the entire siege car to the city!
Then he stood on the magic broom and flew high. As he slowly twisted the spell, hundreds of "wind blades" appeared around his body. Under his precise control, they flew towards the barbarian warriors on the city walls. The unparalleled "wind blade" cares about the moment, and quickly strangled the wind-blade barbarians who had become the last of the powerful crossbows.
As the magicians of the Magic Academy joined the battle, the victory balance finally quickly deflected towards El City.
As the second group of rescuers in the Magic Academy to support the North City Wall War Zone, I rushed to the battlefield in the early morning and used "spatitis" to treat the wounded soldiers transported from the city wall...
At this time, among the people transporting the wounded, I happened to see Senior Benjamin. He seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, but he looked very energetic, so we didn't even have time to say hello.
After the war situation was joined by the magicians in the Magic Academy, a qualitative change took place. The city wall that was about to be broken was recaptured by the soldiers of the guard battalion.
...
It was already half a month later until the battle was completely won.
When I saw Senior Benjamin again, I was on the day of the counterattack, and I took the turn at the rescue station.
Senior Benjamin ran in panic. When he saw him looking haggard and thin, I could hardly recognize him. There was an unpleasant sour smell on his body. I'm afraid he hadn't taken a shower for a while. He pulled me desperately from the rescue station to the bottom of the north wall. A big knight in full-covered armor was lying on the ground covered with blood, with several very serious trauma on his body, and fell into a deep coma.
Senior Benjamin said to me in a hoarse voice: "Gilliah, save him quickly, and you must help me save him!"
I rolled my eyes speechlessly, dared not hesitate at all, and quickly unfolded a magic scroll of "spatitis" and at least not let him die before treating the wound.
While I asked the entourage of the Great Knight on the side to help me untie his armor, I quickly checked the wound and said to Senior Benjamin: "If Senior Mia is here, I will be more confident. I can only sew his wounds as much as possible. His injuries are too severe and he has lost too much blood. Whether he can wake up can only depend on his willpower and survival."
"She is trapped in the temple, can't be found!" he said powerlessly
Benjamin looked at the stone wall and sat on the ground all of a sudden, looking very tired...
Chapter completed!
