Chapter 623: Rush [Sid]
There was no time to escape.
In order to defend against the attacks of the Reiner, all the soldiers in the north who crossed the river were wearing quite tight armor. While ensuring the defense effect, their movements became slow. Although the engineers were wearing civilian clothes, they were helplessly at the front of the team.
The width of the roads opened by the engineers was quite limited, and the ramps opened to "go down" were quite steep; the soldiers rushed to return to the team, and the crowding actually reduced their efficiency of escape. In more extreme cases, some soldiers fell directly towards the riverbed and hit a group of soldiers behind them.
More importantly, the people in the northern border did not have much room for reaction; because the river channel was relatively winding and the forest blocked their sight, and when the rushing water flowed into their eyes, they only had a few breaths left;
In a panic, some people couldn't wait to go back along the dirt road they had opened up, and could only hope to take a detour and go back from the mud; however, when they took the first step, they deeply realized the importance of using magic to open the way - they stepped in, but they couldn't pull it out if they were alive!
The reckless soldiers were trapped in their feet, and some people lie on the mud with too much force; looking at the gradually coming river water, other soldiers could still squeeze forward, but these unlucky guys could only struggle to roar and roar for the final resistance;
Of course, their pain didn't last long.
The vast river water rushed over and flooded all the soldiers on the riverbed;
Qiufeng River quickly returned to its former situation, and even the water level was almost the same;
If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that more than a thousand northern soldiers were flooded under the water here - their equipment was too heavy to even float.
All the soldiers on the river banks on both sides were stunned.
The Northbound Cataloger, which was originally struggling to throw stones, stopped the fire, and the Ryin soldiers in the chaos also became extremely calm in the blink of an eye.
The northern army surrounded by the catapult and waiting to watch the show was even more stunned.
The situation reversed too quickly, and Marquis Sid, who was originally desperate, did not react for a moment;
But he soon realized what he should do.
"God bless Lein!!! Catstone car! Giant crossbow! Move forward! Attack with all your might!" The ecstatic Marquis's slightly hoarse voice resounded throughout Lein's position, "Fight with them! Don't be afraid! Kill ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The Marquis' judgment was extremely accurate: in such an emergency, the enemy would definitely choose to retreat at full speed; and at the critical moment when the entire army fled, can those catapults in the crowd still launch an attack normally?
As the Marquis expected, this caused all the flood that failed in the early stage to defeat the psychological defenses of the nobles in the northern border;
The soldiers on the riverbed disappeared in the blink of an eye, and such a huge and rapid loss made them feel their brains roar;
The soldiers in the North were hit harder at this moment: It was originally a matter of drying up the river water in front of you, but so many comrades were suddenly flooded by the river water that came back?
The content shouting on the other side of the strait is even more frightening: God You Lein!
Most of these 30,000 people participated in the last conquest of Ryin!
That time, all the people from the North felt sure to win! That time, the other party also called Tianyou and Leiyin to win the final victory!
The emotions of the soldiers in the north quickly changed from amazement to panic, and the orders issued by the nobles at this moment made them almost collapse!
They roared and shouted and ran away. The scene on the shore was in chaos, and the neat queues collapsed in an instant! No one could care about protecting their teammates, no one could care about avoiding others, everyone was thinking about one thing, escape!
Even if the person in the catapult was hiding in the steel fortress, it was difficult to continue to operate in the face of such a scene; in panic, they had to slowly pull the catapult and the fortress backwards - after all, the order given by the noble master was to run back quickly!
The army that had just shown its mighty power retreated in shame, allowing stones and arrows to hit soldiers who were missing. The screams of those people when they fell further aroused the panic of others. The whole scene was out of control, and the army fled to the camp before barely stabilizing - however, not everyone fled back;
They failed to defend against the attacks of the Ryin Territory - this made it difficult for the stones of the Ryin Territory to hit people; although it did not take too long to escape from the river bank, hundreds of people still died due to the large number of people in the north;
Including the more than a thousand soldiers who were drowned directly in the river, the number of deaths in the northern border exceeded 2,000 in this battle.
"Everyone, have you seen it? This is the end of attacking our Lein Leader!" Sid shouted loudly, "Our hero saved Lein Leader again! God bless Lein!"
"God bless Lein-!" The soldiers cheered, and all the previous unhappiness and resentment disappeared. Many people who misunderstood Aly just now were still pounding their chests frantically, hoping to use the pain to relieve their guilt;
Win, win...! Xide looked at the North Frontier Camp that was barely in the whole line, and a gratified smile appeared on his face;
According to Fran, it is not far from the enemy's retreat...?
...
Near the reservoir, forest.
"Yuhuh... don't say, this thing is really good enough!" Alay controlled the wind magic before and flew back to the side of the Ryin collar, "Fran, can this thing be given to me?"
"If you like it, I will make more for you when I go back." Fran's smile was like a faint honey water, "Thank you for your hard work, the hero of Rein."
In just two days, Ayre completed all the work: placing wind magic bottles in sandbags on both sides, and snorting into the ditch at night, burying the magic bottles in an unnoticed corner - anyway, the next work of those workers is only to expand the area of the pit rather than deepen the depth;
The sandbags were transported to the designated location by the river before work; as for whether the bottle was crushed, I don’t know - anyway, the detonation was quite smooth.
In the ditch, only one magic bottle was placed almost blocked the passage; the four magic bottles in the sandbag almost destroyed the entire sandbag embankment;
According to the content of the previous communication with Fran, Ailee waited for them to complete the work, blocked Qiufeng River for a while before detonating it - the timing was selected by Fran, and she knew more clearly what the progress in the North would be like.
"Huh, this battle will be over?" After landing, Ailey reluctantly put away the wind magic, "Can we go back to Lion City?"
"If..." Fran's smile faded a little, "If the master of Blade City can still remain calm."
