Chapter 667 Sol City
Chapter 668: Little Victory of the Crusader
In the 3227th year of the Mainland calendar, the 3rd year of the Chinese New Calendar in later generations, at the end of May.
The vanguard of the northern expedition of the Church, more than 20,000 Knights of the Light, marched in the rain for several days. Finally, on the last day of the Pope Oplus' order, he arrived at the first stop of the northern expedition of the Church. The first gateway to the Western Front of the Kingdom of China faced Reiss, Dongling Pass and Thor, under the city of Thor, in a sparse rain, he finally barely missed the arrival time limit stated by His Majesty the Pope.
However, because he had been forcibly marching in the rain for several days a few days ago, the more than 20,000 Crusaders who arrived at the city of Thor were all exhausted, their combat power was greatly reduced, and they were useless.
It can be said that at this time, the 20,000 neatly dressed and brightly-clad vanguard army and the Bright Crusader Knights looked aggressive and looked domineering with elite soldiers and strong generals, and cloaks and rain, after several days of rapid travel in the rain, these Crusader Knights have all become embroidered pillows that are not good, and they have become the last of their strength. How can they have any strong combat power?
Even more exaggeratedly, these Knights of Light, who were regarded as elites in the church, and in the eyes of the world, are like perseverance, strength and invincible. When they see the slightly blurred city walls in the rain in Thor, it is a miracle that they can sit on the horse's back and not fall off.
However, in such a state, after struggling in heavy rain for several days, the entire army was already exhausted, but the Knights of the Light Crusaders, still engaged in a small-scale battle with the defenders of Thor City.
And this battle was actually initiated by the defenders of Thor City.
At that time, when the defenders of Thor arrived, not only did not cause any panic and chaos as the crusaders expected, but instead opened the city gates and sent a tall, powerful general with an overweight rifle in his face and rushed out of the city. Behind him, there were elite knights of about 3,000 cavalry. Without saying a word, they directly challenged the 20,000 crusaders in front of them, threatening to cut off the leader and commander of the entire crusad vanguard unit.
Faced with such a provocation, he was extremely proud of himself. The Crusader Knight, who regarded his honor as everything, was naturally angry. He agreed without even thinking about it. The crusader leader personally ordered an eighth-level powerful man with the status of the Templar of Light to fight, asking him to take back the head of the guy in front of him who dared to speak wildly and overestimate himself to die.
However, the result of the first battle shocked everyone. The tall and thick-faced enemy general, Dahan, used some methods. After a hard support from Yuwu, he inexplicably cut off the head of the Templar of Light on his side, and laughed wildly, grabbed his head in his hand. He shouted loudly in front of the two armies with great might, humiliated the Templar just now, and said that the martial arts of the sect were not good. All the knights taught were strong and were only worthy of bullying the weak, and they could not do it as soon as they saw the real strong.
In short, all the bad words were passed in the other party's mouth, and it almost blew the lungs of the crusad leader.
In a rage, the Crusader leader pointed the general again, this time he pointed a general who was stronger than the Templar just now to fight.
In his opinion, the strength of the knight just now could already be suppressed by the opponent to fight, and the reason for his defeat must be that this guy was too careless in the end, which allowed the opponent to take advantage of the loophole. If he sent a stronger subordinate to fight, he would definitely be able to capture it easily and kill the bastard in front of him who had no brains and luckily took advantage but would not flash immediately.
However, the result of the fight surprised everyone. The general on his side actually repeated the mistakes of his previous companion. After slashing and killing the opponent fiercely, he almost killed the enemy general with a rough face, and was so bold that he was wonderingly used by the enemy general. He shot him to the ground with a shot, and his intestines were bleeding all over the ground, and his eyes were no longer alive.
This result undoubtedly stimulated all the generals of the Crusader. Two knights who were more powerful than the two companions before were angry. Without waiting for the command of the leader and the commander to issue the order, they rode out at the same time, stabbed the silver spear in their hands like a storm at the enemy who had just killed his two companions.
But when the other party saw this scene, he was fearless. Not only did he laugh, mock and despise the despicable villain who would only bully the less, but he also rushed forward with no fear and met with two sect knights who were so angry that they gritted their teeth and were so angry that they almost burst into their lungs.
After a fierce battle, everyone's unexpected shock happened again. The two sect knights who had originally had the upper hand suddenly fell down on the horse's back without any warning, fell to the ground with their heads facing down, and were shot by their opponents one by one, which was very dramatic.
And the enemy general who had just killed four senior knights of the Cult in just a moment seemed to have suffered serious injuries, and his body was shaking on the horse's back and he couldn't sit steadily.
At this moment, even if the IQ is problematic, I'm afraid that something is wrong.
If the enemy general can be called lucky after he cleaned up one-on-one, then the exciting performance of winning one-on-two is obviously not explained by luck.
Either this guy is very strong, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and cheating himself into a fool!
Or this guy has some protective treasures like divine artifacts and holy objects on his body, which helped this guy at a critical moment!
However, everyone stared at the eyes of the person, but they didn't see that the guy in front of him would be the kind of ninth-level powerhouse who surpassed the eighth level.
Then, obviously, it must be that this guy has some treasure.
The thought of the treasure, the Crusader's heart immediately became hot.
Because, he knew clearly that treasures like this that can control the outcome of the eighth-level battle must be very precious, and may even be treasures such as holy tools.
If I could get this treasure, it would be nothing if I lost the crimes of several generals in my first battle. If I couldn't do it well, I would get a reward.
Anyway, the guy in front of me could not let him go back no matter what.
Thinking of this, the crusad leader shouted loudly, and drank the names of several generals in one breath, and issued strict orders to arrest the guy no matter what. Even the other party said that he was bullying the less.
After receiving the command from the leader, the generals who were already in anger rushed out of their way out like wild horses.
There was even a bishop with a high position in the sect, secretly using imprisonment techniques to attack the enemy in the distance, trying to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Sure enough, the moment he saw the enemy running out, the general from Thor City turned his horse's head and shouted, cursing the enemy's shamelessness, while running towards the city gate without looking back.
What was very tacit was that when he turned around and ran away, the cavalry that had originally stood in line outside Thor City immediately started to move as if he had rehearsed n times in advance, and ran towards the city gate quickly, even the boss behind him ignored it.
Such a scene is undoubtedly a lead ignited for the entire Crusader's barrel of high explosives.
In an instant, almost like a chain reaction, a large number of crusaders rushed out instinctively, following the steps of the generals in front of them, chasing the enemy, and even temporarily forgot about their own fatigue.
Of course, the leader of the Cross did not forget the truth that cavalry was not suitable for siege. At the same time, he also clearly knew that the task of his 20,000 cavalry was not siege.
However, the current leader of the Crusader of the Love Division had no choice. The entire cavalry had already moved its entire body and started charging. Even if he was the leader of the first army, he could not stop.
Moreover, as long as you are careful and not so greedy, you are stupid enough to use your horse's head to touch the city, just eat the cavalry in front of you with only a few thousand people, and then retreat in time, there will be no problem.
Therefore, after the army charged, the leader of the Crusader knights moved forward with the army.
However, what he never dreamed of was that it was precisely because of his thoughts that he wanted to keep that treasure that his army suffered a great loss and suffered a huge loss.
"Damn it, why can that guy still move? My 'Light Forbidden Technique' cannot be useless, it cannot..."
A shout of surprise came from the crusaders' continuous advancement, causing the crusaders who were almost right beside him to frown.
However, just after this shout came out, a loud shout that made the leader of the Crusader Knight stand on his hair suddenly sounded above the city of Thor.
"shoot!!!"
In just one word, it brought countless sounds of bowstring vibrating.
The next moment, more than two thousand branches were heavier and lengthened, and were pitch black all over, all of which were made of long arrows made of ripe iron. They flew up neatly from the top of the city of Thor, and pressed against the crusaders under the city that were constantly charging towards the approaching Crusaders.
According to common sense, the Crusaders have not yet entered the range of arrows, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot shoot far away.
However, it is not necessary to forget that the two thousand people are not ordinary bows and arrows. The longbow in each of them can easily shoot the iron arrow made of the combination twice as far away from the ordinary arrow branches.
Moreover, the place where the archers are now located is the head of Thor, which is condescending to the heights.
So, naturally, these arrows shot farther, and kept covering the Crusaders who were originally outside the range of ordinary arrows.
It was not until this time that the crusaders and knights were shocked to find the dark clouds above their heads.
"Damn it, I'll try to stop the enemy general in front of me, and I'll catch him back for me no matter what. Other knights will defend and retreat."
Half a correct command plus half an incorrect command is enough to become the complete command at the moment.
The leader of the Crusader Knight looked at the half-time that had just run through the arrows, and he had a good chance to catch up with and catch him. He was very unwilling to let the subordinates who were chasing behind him continue to pursue, but he organized his knights to retreat and withdraw from the distance.
What a joke? Such a powerful bow and arrow, and a condescending shot, can already shoot through the armor on the body of the horse without any suspense.
Faced with such a rain of arrows, except for those strong men in the army who know how to fight, others are injured when touched, shot and killed, which is extremely harmful.
Fortunately, the density of arrow rain is not too much. Even the front hitting the cavalry formation will not cause much damage. This made the leader of the Crusader Knight more or less relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the Crusader's chief's face became ugly.
Because, there is obviously not only one rain of arrows like this. Just as I felt relieved, waves of black arrows were shot out into the low city of Thor City, and it pierced into the steel camp like a hedgehog, making a series of dense "songs" sounds.
"ah!!!"
Large areas of crusaders were penetrated by long iron arrows that penetrated from the sky through important parts such as the helmet breastplate, and fell directly from the horse's back, and were stepped on by the mounts of their companions to form a pile of meat sauce.
More of the cases are arms, shoulders, or mounts under the crotch, which are "jumping and jumping" in place, blocking many unaffected companions halfway.
"Damn it, where did they come from the strong bow? Retreat, don't be messed up, retreat!!!"
With loud shouts, the Crusader Knights finally came over and realized what serious mistakes he had made. He began to try his best to calm down his knights and retreat in an organized manner.
However, under this sudden blow, this approach has little effect and has no effect at all.
"Hey!!!"
A loud shout that resounded through the sky, at this critical moment, exploded like thunder in the ears of all the enemies and us. Attracted by the loud shout, the crusader leader turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, and was seeing a scene that made him look like he was about torn apart. He just happened to send the general who had previously sent to pursue the enemy general to be chased by the enemy general, turned his head and took him one by one to take him down one by one.
"Fuck, how is this possible? How is it possible??"
The protruding eyeball almost fell out of the eye socket due to shock. The crusad leader almost roared and spitted out the exclamation. Then he jumped forward and rushed forward with a few steps towards the rain of arrows. He was stopped by several generals and dragged him to the rear.
With the strength of the Crusader Knights, he is naturally not afraid of the falling iron arrows in the sky.
However, as the leader of the army, the leader of the Crusader Knights must not easily put himself in danger, because that would only make the commander of the entire army unable to see the situation at that time and make a wrong judgment.
The leader of the Crusader Knights knew that these subordinates were for their own good, so although he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he still retreated with everyone, until the entire knight's army retreated from Thor City was far away, and then he stopped far away in the cold rain that made every knight tremble all over his body.
Reorganize the army and re-arrange.
The Crusaders gathered together again and arranged neatly in formation.
However, at this moment, everyone's face no longer had the pride and disdain that came when they first came, and replaced by incredible and declining.
Because, the result of the war is a heavy burden that almost all the Crusaders cannot accept.
A total of five thousand people and the elite knights trained carefully, failed to succeed in their journey, and fell forever on the charge road and under the feet of the enemy without failing to succeed in his career.
Such losses have been encountered recently, except for the last time when I was fighting against the elves of the Forbidden Forest, how could I have suffered such a blow?
Gripping his teeth, the leader of the Crusader Knight watched the enemy of the man who killed nearly ten of his powerful generals. The last news was in the gradually closed city gate. His heart was like being cut by a thousand or ten thousand steel knives inch by inch. His whole body was trembling in pain and he was almost dazed.
However, the current situation did not allow him to faint.
Because, he also knows clearly what his mission is!
Therefore, despite the angry trembling, the leader of the Crusader Knights ordered the entire army to retreat, find a high ground with a slightly higher terrain and less water accumulation before starting to camp.
All this, in Hamo's eyes above the head of Thor City, made Hamo's expression, who had just won a small victory, solemnly become.
"Do you want to fight a decisive battle here? His Majesty of the Flame Cult, you have a good idea. Instead of rushing to fight in a place with stronger fortifications, it is better to put the battlefield of the decisive battle in a small place that is less than ten meters high in the city of Thor. But, you are really so confident that you can defeat Arenas and his reinforcements in one fell swoop? Hum..."
With a cold smile, Hamo, who had almost blind confidence in Ye Piao, showed a look of disdain on his face.
At this moment, Barbas, who had just killed ten enemy generals and completed the mission brilliantly, appeared in Hamo's sight, laughing loudly with a look of pleasure.
Chapter completed!
