From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 146 The Battle of Jinsui City【4K】

Four majestic triangular bulls dragged the chariot rumbling forward, pressing deep ruts on the grass. Brian Douglas was standing on the chariot wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword in both hands. Capes and banners fluttered in the wind.

His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and the aura emanating from his body pressed down on people's hearts like mountains, making people a little breathless.

A black shadow passed over his head, blocking the sunlight. It was a huge eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters, and every flap would bring a strong wind.

That is his mount, and it is also the origin of his title of "Chelter Eagle". As the only legendary knight in the southern region on the bright side, no words or phrases can be used to describe him too much.

A young knight carrying a blue hurricane flag and riding a hurricane wolf came to the side of the chariot, looked at the mighty figure and respectfully said: "Your Highness, Earl Harveys has sent back the news that the vanguard has arrived in the city of Tei Twenty miles away, the rebels have not moved for the time being."

Bryan lowered his head, looked at the young knight and said, "Send an order to tell them to pay close attention to the movements of the rebels and look for opportunities for combat.

Also ordered the fifth to eighth legions to march towards the city of Tei. Their speed is too slow. I want to see their flag when the sun rises to the highest point tomorrow. "

"Follow your will!"

The young knight carried the flag and went away, but the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory couldn't relax. This time, he led the elite coalition forces of the nobles and marched straight into the rebel-occupied area. Although the resistance was strong along the way, it did not stop the advance of the army.

It seemed that the plan was going smoothly, but based on his years of fighting intuition, he always felt that something was wrong. It went too smoothly. If the rebels only had this level, he wouldn't need to take action himself.

But now, no matter what channel the information comes from, everything is moving in the expected direction, and there is nothing doubtful about it.

After thinking about it, he summoned a messenger and said: "Call another cavalry battalion to protect the grain road, and send it to the supply officer. Tell him that the grain and grass must not be lost, and don't disappoint the honor of the family."

This is his only weakness at the moment. Food, grass and supplies are the most critical in a large army battle. At present, if the opponent wants to win this battle, they can only start from the food road.

Whether it's a sneak attack or harassment, all he can do is see through the tricks.

Looking back at the cyan hurricane flag standing tall, the dignity in his heart was washed away a little. This time he went all out. The Douglas family mobilized part of the Hurricane Knights that shocked the world, which almost made him stand on the ground. invincible position.

"Use whatever tricks you have." The soft murmur drifted away with the wind, and the fangs of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory were already looming...

On the other hand, the main force of the rebel army that the aristocratic coalition forces were looking for did not follow what the intelligence said. They were stubbornly resisting in the city of Tei. Instead, they went around in a big circle to another battlefield.

When nearly [-] elite rebels approached Jinsui City, Earl Daniel and the defenders of Jinsui City were stunned. No one thought that they would give up defending their lair and take the initiative to attack.

At this moment, the plan planned by the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory has already been declared bankrupt.

Earl Daniel looked at the menacing army below, and he had already lost his sense of proportion.

As the richest city in the Gothic province, in the mouth of the bard, the river here is filled with milk and honey, the city wall is made of gold bricks, and you can see all kinds of exquisite commodities anytime you walk on the street ...

Of course exaggeration was used in this, but in fact the difference is not much different. Jinsui City has become the leader of water trade in the entire province by relying on a large river that crosses the kingdom. How much wealth has been acquired.

Looking at the whole Kingdom of Tistan, Golden Spike City is also one of the top ten wealthy places. Anyone who mentions the Daniel family will always have the impression of "rich".

However, the Daniel family, which has not experienced turmoil for hundreds of years, has long since lost the sharpness and bloodiness of their ancestors. They are everywhere in the mall, and they have become veritable bears on the battlefield.

Although there is a luxurious army built with a lot of money, they have all cultivated veteran soldiers, and few have seen blood. They are undisputedly at the bottom of the high-ranking nobles in the entire southern border.

They have been content with pleasure and peace for too long.

Facing the arrival of the rebels, the dignified Earl was so frightened that he was at a loss.

"Hurry up, hurry up, send a letter to the Grand Duke, asking for help! Asking for help!" Count Daniel leaned against the city wall, feeling very excited.

Seeing this, the chief knight frowned tightly, what does the dignified count look like?What's more, in front of the two armies, this is really a blow to morale.

"You go back first, leave this place to me." The chief knight sent his personal guards to almost hold him down. Every minute this guy stays here, his morale will drop by one point.

Looking at the rebels below, there are no less than 10 people densely packed. Although the equipment is simple, they exude a fierce aura, and they are still assembling siege equipment, obviously coming prepared.

However, he was not too flustered. There were more than 3 standing troops in the city. The city wall of Jinsui City was tall and strong, and there was a moat.Moreover, it can also order the recruitment of militias. As long as weapons are issued, civilians can also play a role in defending the city.

"We can't let them be fully prepared, come here, the ballista is ready!"

"Follow... obey orders." The messenger tremblingly accepted the order, which made the chief knight very displeased. He had become such a virtue before the battle started, and he did not have the bravery and bloodiness of a soldier at all.

"We still have to send a letter to the Grand Duke. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can attack back and forth and eat up the rebel elite." The chief knight rubbed his chin, ordered people to release the messenger bird to send the message, and actively prepared to defend...

The man in the black robe on the chariot looked at the dozen or so black spots flying up on the majestic city wall in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I still want to spread the news, dreaming!"

With a light clap of their hands, a group of men in black robes immediately opened the iron cages one by one. Inside was a huge black crow with three legs, emitting a rancid smell all over its body.

Along with the squirming of the black-robed man's lips, the crow, which was like a corpse, suddenly opened its eyes, like scarlet gems.

They made a sharp cry, then flapped their wings and flew up into the blue sky, heading straight for the flying birds in Jinsui City. In less than 10 minutes, all the birds were killed and there were no bones left.

Everyone on the city wall watched this scene, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, and the chief knight couldn't help clenching his hands. The opponent blocked the battlefield, and it seemed that he was determined to capture Jinsui City.

"Notify the Earl immediately, use the message beads to send a message to the king's capital, and then the king's capital will transfer it to His Royal Highness."

The message bead is a magical device made by the royal family. Its source is in the capital. The local nobles can only establish a link between the mother and child beads, and Jinsui City does not have the child beads of the Douglas family, so this kind of curve can only be used. means of communication.

It's just that it's a long way from the royal capital, and it takes a few days to communicate back and forth. In addition to the time for the army to rush over, they are expected to stick to it for half a month.

The pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased, and it was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Woooooo-"

The horn sounded with the wind, and the ballistas of the Jinsui City defenders took the lead in launching the attack. After all, being rich is self-willed. The number of ballistas equipped is not only the largest, but also the ones with the longest range.

The densely packed stone bullets drew an arc in the air and landed on the rebel formation, accompanied by blood splashes, one by one the unlucky ones lost their lives.

But the strange thing is that there was no chaos in their army formation, everyone was like a robot, there was no sound, no disturbance.

This weird scene sent chills down the spine...

"Believers of the Lord, charge, take this city, and dedicate it to the great master!" The black-robed man on the chariot casually unfolded a shield to block the falling stones.

Immediately, a bell was raised, and with the shaking of "Ding Ding Dong", the expression of the rebel who was originally numb on his face suddenly became fanatical, and his eyeballs became red.

They roared like beasts, and in the next moment, thousands of people rushed up like a flood of gates, and the assembled trebuchets behind them also started firing stone bombs.

The rebels were carrying stone bullets and raindrop arrows, carrying ladders and charging bravely. People fell down in rows like cutting wheat, but in the next moment someone would jump over the corpses and continue charging.

This desperate way of fighting frightened the old soldiers of Jinsui City, and they started to make frequent mistakes in a hurry. In addition, the rebel trebuchets started to exert force, and they caused riots at the top of the city when they saw blood.

The chief knight was in a state of desperation for a while, and he led his squad of knights to cut down a dozen of them before stopping the riot.

"It won't work like this, let the mage group prepare."

Seeing that the enemy had crossed the moat and put the ladder on the top of the city, the chief knight didn't care to hide it anymore. Originally, the mage group of dozens of people was his hole card for the critical period, but the opponent was too weird It seems that they are all monsters without emotions, which makes him very uneasy.

There are more than 50 magician groups in Jinsui City, most of whom have been cultivated by the Daniel family over the years, and a small part are vassals who have taken refuge. Among them are two great magicians.

After receiving the order, the magicians walked to the magic circle that was originally depicted on the city wall, and arranged them in a mysterious position.

There are three magic circles in total, and magicians wearing the same color occupy the same magic circle, representing the three departments of nature, elements, and spirit respectively.

The number of elemental magicians is the largest. They hold up their magic wands, emitting colorful light, and the magic circle bursts out with dazzling light, frantically absorbing the free five elements in the air.

A huge vortex formed in midair, sending out astonishing fluctuations.

"Forbidden Curse [Meteor Fire Rain]"

The colorful colors gradually turned into dazzling red, and a huge six-pointed star emerged in the sky above the heads of the rebels, with a large invisible hand engraved with magic patterns on it.

One after another, fireballs emerged from the hexagrams and fell down like raindrops with great momentum.

The rebels are not lambs waiting to be slaughtered. A group of men in black robes gathered together and formed a large circle. The open space inside was covered with strange patterns, and there were piles of corpses piled up like hills in the middle, both human and livestock. .

Accompanied by the chanting in their mouths, a scarlet light burst out, and a vertical eye appeared out of nowhere in the sky, exuding a sinister and evil atmosphere.

The vertical eye opened, and a drop of blood dripped from the corner of the eye. This drop of blood turned into a bloody river in the air, colliding with the falling fire rain.

Most of the fire and rain were intercepted, but some fish that escaped the net still fell on the army formation, and the people who were contaminated were instantly reduced to ashes, which was extremely terrifying.

But because of the bloody river, the results obtained were extremely limited.This kind of large-scale forbidden spell consumes terribly mental power. After the release, the magicians immediately sat down and began to recover.

The second magic circle was ready soon. They were the least number of spiritual magicians. They put their magic wands together and closed their eyes.

On the surface, it looks ordinary, but in the eyes of extraordinary people, a storm is blowing up there, changing the situation.

"Forbidden Curse [Spiritual Storm]"

The storm swept towards the rebels like a hurricane, and the vertical eye in the sky burst out with a bloody light, blocking the front of the army like a wall.

"buzzing"

The huge spiritual power is like a breeze blowing through the spring water, creating waves in the air, washing their minds over and over again.

The effect of this interception was not ideal. Many rebels' eardrums exploded in an instant, and thousands of soldiers fell down. Although their bodies were intact, their minds had been destroyed into a paste.

The man in black on the chariot looked normal, human life was just a number in his eyes, as long as he quickly took Jinsui City, the wealth here was very important to them.

More importantly, flesh and blood, this is a rare bustling city with a population of nearly 10, which is his main goal.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the chief knight immediately commanded the soldiers to counterattack, and less than half of the thousands of rebels who attacked in the first wave finally retreated.

But before he could catch his breath, the second wave of thousands of people rushed up bravely, fighting spirit and magic complement each other, blood and flesh flew, and Jinsui City turned into a meat grinder, mercilessly devouring the flesh and blood of the soldiers on both sides. life……

Seeing that the resistance of the rebels in Tei City gradually weakened, the Grand Duke of the South Region did not have a look of joy on his face. Something was wrong. Tei City was the only big city occupied by the rebels in the Gothic Province, and it was also their lair.

But the resistance is so weak now, which is obviously unreasonable.

He opened the map and searched for valuable targets attacked by the rebels around Tei City. Soon, his eyes focused on Jinsui City.

"Even the old nest has given up like this, just for the wealth of Jinsui City? What do you want to do?" His brows were deeply frowned, and for the first time, he couldn't understand the enemy's strategic intentions.

But no matter what, the enemy army must not be allowed to succeed. He stretched out his hand and summoned a majestic knight, and said solemnly: "Lead the knights and gather in the direction of Jinsui City immediately. If you find traces of the enemy army, you can wait for the opportunity." move."

"Follow your will!"

Accompanied by howling wolves, nearly a thousand knights swept away like a gust of wind...
