Chapter 279 The whole army attacks! Live and die with Dongmu County!

After the lightning dissipated.

On the battlefield, I saw the corpses of war horses and the corpses of enemy knights all over the ground.

The enemy troops at the front had been wiped out by the lightning, with not even ashes left.

Looking behind, he saw charred corpses lying on the ground.

Of the more than 1,500 elite cavalry, there were only less than 500 left.

The remaining cavalry were also stunned by the thunder and lightning, and were in a panic for a while.

It is a pity that the spears of the Thunder Copper Spear Army have exhausted the power of thunder and lightning at this time, and it will take some time to recover.

Therefore, it is impossible to continue to output the remaining cavalry.

But don’t forget the dragon cavalry cavalry that dispersed to both sides!

At this time, Zhou Tai gave an order, and the dragon cavalry battalions on both sides began to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the remaining enemies from a hundred meters apart.

The arrow's head is a thunder copper arrow, and the upper part also contains a relatively rich thunder essence. It is a thunder copper arrow that has been processed three times and has extraordinary power.

As the two thousand dragon cavalry battalions poured out nearly four thousand arrows towards the remaining cavalry.

The dense and terrifying arrow rain mixed with the power of thunder and lightning quickly enveloped the enemy's remaining cavalry.

boom -

The roar of thunder and lightning sounded, and arrows mixed with thunder and lightning poured down instantly.

Smashing into the cavalry, the sharp edge of thunder and lightning instantly penetrated each armor, and then countless blood seeped out from the gaps in the armor.

The blood covered the surrounding grass with a thin layer of blood.

The screams continued, but slowly disappeared.

After a moment.

This extremely elite heavily armored knights were completely wiped out, and no one survived.

"Withdraw troops and return to the city."

On the city wall, a loud shout rang out.

Then the pikemen and cavalry in the city slowly poured back into the city.

Everyone in the military camp outside the city exploded when they saw this sudden change.

In the blink of an eye, the most elite Royal Court Knights in the empire were completely wiped out.

Many soldiers were frightened and demoralized by this incident.

The officers of each army also had different opinions at this time, and they were leaderless.

Someone suggested that if one of the three commanders fainted and two died, it would be better to withdraw the troops.

Some people also say that the enemy's attack is very expensive, so it is better to take the opportunity to attack the city.

There are also people who want to unify the entire army and continue to attack the city to gain merit.

For a time, three factions were formed among the enemy troops, and the quarrel was extremely fierce.

In the military camp, officers from various armies gathered together.

Among them, Leo, the leader of the Griffin Knights, said loudly: "First, the information from the front line has been reported by the cavalry to His Majesty the King. I believe that the new decree will arrive soon. Therefore, if you retreat without permission, you will definitely be severely punished after you return." !”

"Secondly, it is not certain whether the enemy's force consumption is very large. It can be seen from the previous two battles that they are extremely cunning and powerful. Therefore, in order to avoid causing heavy losses, we cannot choose to take the initiative to attack. It is better to calm down and wait for the king's new decree. .”

"Thirdly, now that the three commanders are no longer able to participate in the situation, our numerous troops must not be left in chaos without command.

Therefore, as a descendant of the elven royal family, a viscount of the empire, and the leader of the Griffin Knights, I serve as the temporary commander-in-chief. When the new commander arrives, I will hand over the military power. If the enemy attacks again, I will command all the troops to face the enemy! "

"Which of you still has any objections?"

At this time, Leo's handsome face was full of heroism.

The tall body is wearing a set of exquisite black iron armor, and the hilt of the sword in his hand is inlaid with magical rune stones.

As soon as the words fell, the military camp fell silent.

The commander of the Imperial Third Infantry Corps was immediately unhappy.

He commands more than 10,000 people. Shouldn't he be the temporary commander?

Dissatisfaction welled up in his heart, and he was about to speak out to object.

I saw a leather glove instantly thrown from Leo's hand onto the infantry regiment commander's face.

"Are you dissatisfied? Okay, let's have a duel between knights."

Leo used the dueling ritual "glove throwing".

Throwing the glove to the other party means that the thrower challenges the one being thrown to a duel.

If he fails to accept it, it means that he has lost the glory and dignity of a noble and a knight.

But after accepting it, he knew clearly in his heart that there was a gap in strength between the two. If he lost, the consequences would be the same loss of honor and face.

Therefore, the infantry regiment commander's face was ashen and he didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Who else has objections?"

Seeing the frustrated commander of the infantry regiment, the others looked at Leo who was always throwing away his gloves in a duel. In the end, everyone recognized Leo's identity as the temporary commander.

“The array order of the military camp has been readjusted, with a thousand crossbowmen stationed at the front and elven archers stationed on both sides in front of the military camp.

The legion guards were stationed in the front position, the elven warriors were stationed in the center, and the infantry legion was divided into five square formations and stationed in the rear and outer positions.

In this way, when the enemy approaches our military camp, long-range troops can attack from the front or from the left and right sides.

Elf archers have a longer range, which can prevent the enemy from carrying out long-range attacks on our army. If the enemy sends out melee troops and crossbowmen to fire two rounds, the legion guards will advance with their shields raised and take the initiative to attack. I will bring my lion The Eagle Knights provide air support..."

As a descendant of the royal family who has inherited the best genes of the elves, I have to admit that Leo is the most suitable commander in the current army.

He has a noble status, a smart mind, and his character and means can keep others in check.

Ever since, under his mobilization, various armies began to change their garrison locations.

.........

Dongmu County, in the governor's mansion.

Several people gathered here and wiped out an elite enemy cavalry. Not only did the morale of the soldiers in the city greatly increase, but also the generals were extremely happy.

"I have conveyed the good news to Kyoto. After this battle, you will all be rewarded by your Majesty."

Yu Qian smiled.

After the words fell, everyone in the hall became excited, and the morale improved a lot again with one sentence.

"Yu County Sheriff, there is no need to worry about the award. The enemy is leaderless at this time. We should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and achieve greater success!"

Zhou Tai was wearing iron armor and said solemnly with his hands clasped in fists.

Yu Qian nodded slightly:

"Yes, how are the weapons of the spear army recovering? Let all the troops gather in the south city and prepare to go out of the city to fight against the thieves!"

"Reporting to the Governor, the Spear Army's Thunder Bronze Spear has been restored to 70% to 80%. This is thanks to the gold and jade given by Master Jiang."

A captain of the pike army spoke up to report.

Jiang Rong nodded with satisfaction.

Using gold and jade to recharge thunder-copper weapons was just his original idea. He experimented with it the last time he used the thunder-copper staff.

I didn't expect that the Thunder Copper Staff could really replenish the consumed thunder power.

However, the Thunder Copper Staff is different from the Thunder Copper weapons in the Forge Department. The former is more complicated to make and also has some runes engraved from the elemental turret. However, ordinary Thunder Copper weapons are simply forged from Thunder Copper Ore. .

Therefore, Jin Jade can replenish energy for the Thunder Copper Staff, but Jiang Rong is not sure whether it can also replenish energy for the Thunder Copper Weapon, but there is a high probability that it can.

So he took out hundreds of gold and jade and asked the Thunder Copper Spear Army to replenish energy for the weapon. Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

If this is the case, then in the future, the shortcomings of low endurance of the army with thunder copper weapons can be reduced by most.

"In this case, then each team will act according to the tactics planned in advance!"

"I'll wait for the order!"

With a roar, everyone began to turn around and walk out of the Sheriff's Mansion, leading the army slowly out of the city.

At present, the army in the city, in addition to the 4,000 spear troops, also has 2,000 archers, 2,000 dragon cavalry battalions, and 5,000 new troops with thunder, bronze swords and shields. According to Zhou Tai, the enemy's archers had a shooting range of nearly 200 steps.

Therefore, not only all the troops will take part in this battle, but also Jiang Rong's thirty or so wizards.

...

Outside Dongmu County.

Each of the two thousand dragon cavalrymen brought fifteen ordinary copper-headed arrows and ten thunder-copper arrows.

This time, the Dragon Cavalry Battalion was led by two captains from the headquarters. Their main purpose was to cover the enemy's military camp with arrows, damage their morale, and disrupt their military morale.

Since the enemy's archers shot too far, the cavalrymen of the Dragoon Battalion were told to wait until the frontal army was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. , then rush up and shoot the second round, and shoot repeatedly.

Before the enemy has time to counterattack, quickly shoot arrows to strike at the enemy.

outside the city gate.

The new army of five thousand Thunder Copper Swords and Shields is the front army, two thousand archers are the middle army, and four thousand Thunder Copper Spear Army are the left and right armies.

In front of the central army and the left and right armies were the Thunder Bronze Sword and Shield Army.

Because this can form a shield array, it can block the enemy's arrow rain for the army behind to a certain extent.

"Advance to the enemy!" Yu Qian, wearing a bronze armor and holding a ring-headed sword, shouted loudly at the city gate.

"Yu County Sheriff, you can just sit on the city wall and take command. Leave the charge to us!"

"I have been ordered by your Majesty to serve as the governor of Dongmu County. I shall fight bloody battles with the soldiers, kill the enemy fearlessly, and live and die with Dongmu County!"

Yu Qian waved his hand and said vigorously.

The surrounding generals were all moved, and for a moment they had a little more respect for the governor.

When the soldiers saw this, they immediately sighed inwardly.

The governor and the scribes can go into battle and kill the enemy, so what do we soldiers have to fear?

For a time, morale reached its peak!

The leading general in this confrontation with the enemy was Zhou Tai.

Before coming to Dongmu County, Qin Yu had talked to Yu Qian.

When Zhou Tai leads the army and confronts the enemy head-on, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers can be increased by 50%.

Originally, Yu Qian was still dubious about this.

But after seeing many things beyond his three perspectives, Yu Qian chose to believe without hesitation.

And Zhou Tai's talent that can increase the combat power of the army is one of the three talents: loyalty, bravery and sharpness.

[Talent: Loyal, Brave and Sharp (lower level A)]

[Effect: When the two armies are in a head-to-head confrontation, the force attributes of all the troops under your command will be increased by 50%, the physical attributes will be increased by 50%, and the morale will be increased by 30%]

With this attribute bonus, the combat power of the army can be said to be doubled.

This talent not only improves physical strength, but also improves physical fitness and morale.

As the saying goes, the higher the morale, the more ferociously you kill the enemy.

With this talent, this battle will be won.

"Army attack!"

Zhou Tai stood in the front army holding a steel spear and shouted loudly.

Woooooo————

A high-pitched horn sounded.

The army of more than ten thousand people began to slowly advance towards the location of the enemy's military camp.

The movement under the city ahead was naturally noticed by the enemy troops in the military camp outside the city immediately.

Leo immediately asked the officers of each legion to notify them, and all teams entered a state of preparation for war.

Wearing a set of black iron armor and holding an alchemy sword, he came to the camp of the Griffin Knights.

"Everyone, get ready for battle! The enemy is coming!"

While he ordered loudly, he was also very shocked.

The enemy actually dared to leave the city and take the initiative to attack.

Could it be that the enemy army has determined that the person they assassinated was the commander in chief of the military camp?

He slowly put the iron helmet and visor on his head. He did not dare to take this battle lightly.

The distance between the two armies was less than two miles, and the defenders in the city slowly approached.

"Fire arrows!"

"emission!"

The commander-in-chief of the front crossbowmen and elven archers immediately gave the order to attack.

Countless arrows were shot out instantly, turning into a dense rain of arrows and falling fiercely on the heads of the city defenders.

The dense rain of arrows covered half of the sky like dark clouds.

"Vine Art!"

Jiang Rong shouted loudly.

At the same time, more than thirty wizards around him, together with Jiang Rong, instantly activated the vine technique!

In front of the army, a dazzling golden light bloomed, and hundreds of thick vines burst out of the ground instantly, growing to more than ten meters high!

There was a burst of shaking sounds from the cave mountains all around!

The moment hundreds of vines appeared, they swept wildly towards the arrows fired by the enemy.

Almost half of the thousands of arrows were swept away by the vines.

"Arrange your shields!"

A loud shout.

The array of sword and shield soldiers instantly raised their shields above their heads, and the army shrank instantly, forming a huge solid shield array.

Six-tenths of the original arrows were swept away, and another three-tenths were blocked by the shield array behind them.

The remaining tenth was shot into the army.

Dozens of people were killed or injured.

"keep going!"

Zhou Tai shouted loudly, and the army continued to move forward.

The wizards held gold and jade in their hands, and while restoring the energy in their bodies, they summoned vines to sweep away the arrows fired by the enemies.

This tactic went as smoothly as planned, successfully solving the enemy archers' long-range advantage.

It even directly solves the archer's advantage!

Because most of the arrows that were shot were swept away!

This shocked Leo and the other officers.

And at the same time he sighed:

"The magician team is really strong, there's no way we can fight this!"

The long-range troops in the military camp fired four or five rounds in succession, but the defenders in front only lost more than a hundred people.

As the distance between the two armies was close, Yu Qian issued a military order from the position of the Chinese army.

"Archer team, thunder bronze arrows, prepare!"

"Fire arrows!"

In the silence, a violent shout pierced the air.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of arrows with electric light streaked down from the sky, and then headed towards the enemy's military camp.

The arrows carried fierce lightning, forming a heavy rain of thunder and lightning, and fell violently.

In the military camp, there were continuous deafening thunders.

The original screams of misery and panic were drowned by the thunder...
