Demon Lord

The enemies in the melee were directly disrupted by the 100-plus infantry array that suddenly came over. They had not retreated before, entirely because one of the knights was leading the fight from back and forth, so when Bucky and others rushed over, the knights who formed a team and rushed back and forth suddenly kicked the horse to save the field.

Bucky smashed through the enemy in front of him, and glanced at the knights who were rushing, suddenly shouting at his comrades and signaled: "Long gun! Long gun ready!"

"Here! Come and fight!"

Immediately, three or four soldiers with charged spears responded loudly. Bucky pulled two comrades next to him and heard shouting infantry leaning around, but within ten seconds, eight soldiers raised their arms. Lifting the shield quickly formed a wedge-shaped shield array. The four soldiers with charged spears facing the forthcoming Cavaliers squatted in the center of the shield array, stepped on the bottom of the spear, and pointed the gun at the front ...

More than a dozen knights wielded weapons and flew the soldiers along the way. Facing the shield array that suddenly appeared in front of them, they had no weapons for a while. They were also very tricky for a while. The Connally Knight, led by himself, considered himself superb in martial arts. The long sword, with its fighting spirit attached, glowed a light orange light. As he was about to reach the shield formation, he suddenly waved his sword forward and roared, "Give me death!"

However, the energy of the sword had not been released, and the sudden light in front of him directly devoured him.

Four charged long lances collectively cast energy from the spar.

A violent shock hit all the knights in the rear. Bucky, who was in the most shield formation, felt only the warmth of his head, and his ears were deafened by the loud noise. The dazzling light forced him to close his eyes. When he opened it again, the Cavaliers in front of him had become red pieces of flesh scattered on the ground ...

"Keep fighting! Rush over!"

No one could hear this, but everyone instinctively continued to fight. They stepped on the pieces of flesh that fell under their feet, but silently broke into the enemy's ranks. The armor collided and the blades intersected. I don't know how long it took. When Bucky's hands had shaken so much that he couldn't hold the sword, there were finally no objects to be hacked around ...

The squadron of lancers chased away nobles in the distance. Those fugitives and other soldiers who had fled were no longer in charge. Bucky picked a strip of cloth from the ground, entangled his sword and hands, and began to look for his company.

The rescue team led by the magician has entered the field, Bucky checked his body up and down according to the training regulations, and fortunately found that he had no injuries except for the dozen or more pits in the armor.

He could feel a deep score on the back of the helmet. Sweaty Bucky wanted to take it off for a look, but the fighting rules did not allow the helmet to be removed before the signal appeared, so he gave up the idea. , Then began to look for any nearby companions.

After walking back and forth for a long time, Bucky found that there were very few infants on the ground. Most of the injured themselves were caused by the impact of the opposing cavalry, but the armor and shields increased their chances of survival. Bucky counted, and there were no more than ten dead comrades in front of him.

After looking back, he noticed that Ballast had extended the road to the battlefield. The bodies of wounded and fallen soldiers were transported to trucks and returned directly to Taki Town for treatment and burial. The rest rested on the spot. Two hours later, a truck carrying food and new weapon armor quickly arrived here, and the Falcon reconnaissance aircraft in the sky circled a few times before leaving.

Bucky didn't know what to do next. Because of his position in the central area in the sixth class, only three people returned to the rear because of injuries, and no one was killed. The news made him not so heavy, and the supply truck brought drinking water and enough food for lunch. He had no appetite, but ate a lot without eating.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the ballast ran across the battlefield full of blood and corpses, continued all the way south, and arrived at the periphery of Soria at 5 o'clock on the magic clock.

The soldiers stood up to prepare for battle, but the reconnaissance dragon gun knight brought news: the enemy had given up the defense and surrendered.

Bucky breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the humble white flag on the wall, knowing that there should be no more fighting today ...

Viscount Borragon was looking at the rising sun, feeling extremely heavy.

Among the forces currently controlled by Charles II, Count Harrison has the highest rank and the most comprehensive strength, and all participating in this war, Viscount Borragon can only be regarded as the fourth noble.

After the war was released, he assembled more than a thousand people in his territory and rushed to Dunkel City in the south of the temple. However, the continuous rain did not make the march faster, and he could only join the surrounding ones. The progressive nobles slowly hurried.

Because everyone's destination was the same, the road rushed past, and Viscount Borragón followed more than a thousand people led by the other two Viscounts on the same road. What surprised them was that after camping yesterday, a lot of soldiers and refugees ran from the north. When asked, the other side said that it was Everta's army who had captured Dunkel ...

Unlike other nobles who have not fought much, Borragon has always used Count Moore as his teacher, so he has a deeper understanding of the methods and strategies of war. That's exactly what happened. When other nobles laughed at the group and didn't even know how to tell a lie, he locked them together in batches and then interrogated them in person.

The results obtained naturally surprised him.

Immediately after dawn, Borragon immediately called for three other nobles to discuss the attack on the enemy, because from the direction of the enemy's progress, he was currently on the road of the opponent's attack!

Such a proposal was naturally ridiculed, but Borragon forcibly sent his scout team, dragged the relatives of the nobles to the front to conduct a long-range investigation, and naturally found a large number of moving forwards Truck with hoe.

So the soldiers of the entire camp immediately set up the barracks, and after two hours of the whole team began to move forward, and met at noon with the infantry division from Everta.

Borragón felt that he was fully prepared and had the initiative, but he could never think of it. After half an hour of war, the entire army was collapsed on the spot. The cavalry died of artillery fire. The infantry was crushed directly regardless of equipment or force. On their own side, there were nearly 3,000 people, but they were cleaned up by ants who were less than two thousand ...

Seeing the bad situation, Borragon immediately sounded the clarion call. But the soldiers recovered were no more than 600 people, and even the soldiers of other nobles, added up to more than a thousand. Injured and killed, he had to be thrown on the battlefield. In addition to his grief, he could not fight back, because the three nobles who accompanied him, even with their guardian knights, three magicians and guards, had already They were blown into pieces by a charged spear or spar artillery together, I am afraid that even the convergent corpse could not.

So all he could do was work hard to gather the soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, and move back quickly.

The Viscount soon reached the outskirts of Soria, but unlike the fortresses, the city was a completely open commercial city. It was originally just a developed town. It has only been called a "city" in the last ten years, because it has never experienced war, and its walls are very perfunctory. It is only two or three meters high and has no inner city. This kind of wall can only be used to deal with occasional assaults of horse thieves or rogues. The orcs were too lazy to attack the city last year, so they let go of a horse, but Viscount Borragon knew that if he wanted to use it against the artillery of the Effta army, it was simply a dream!

Therefore, he led the remaining 1,000 people to forcibly requisition a large number of farmers in the city, pulled up all the food that could be moved here, and destroyed them where they could not move, and then kept the team retreating south.

When it was dark, his team had left the city of Soria about ten kilometers. Because he was carrying too many forced farmers, this team could not continue on the road at night, so he planned to start the camp as soon as possible at dawn. His target was the town of Lannes, north of the Bordeaux.

The Bordeaux River is a river that flows from east to west, and its width is not large. It is a natural territorial boundary in the central and western parts of the kingdom. During its eastward flow, it gradually dispersed into narrow rivers. Because of its existence, food irrigation in the southern part of the kingdom was much more convenient than the northwestern part of Ephrata.

Heading south from here is the territory of Count Milnor, and if you cross this territory, you can reach the imperial city where Charles II was located.

In other words, the Bordeaux River is the largest natural barrier in Everta's offensive. As long as the army can hold it here, Everta's army will not be able to drive straight and threaten the imperial city.

This river is not that big because of its width ~ www.readwn.com ~ There are stone bridges everywhere. Last year the orc raid rushed directly into the hinterland through these bridges without encountering any obstacles along the way. This year, the nobles finally remembered, and they stationed some troops on the stone bridges and pontoons to alert them.

Viscount Borragon arrived here at the moment, not only to cross the river, but also to tear down the bridge.

Viscount Borragon was also optimistic about the battle, but now he has realized that ... the enemy is not as vulnerable as the Royal Weekly said. On the contrary, the aristocratic army on their own side is like a black-and-white people who are in a rage ...

However, the brief battle also gave him a brief understanding of Everta's strength: the opponent has a long-range weapon similar to a magician, but the number is not large. The number of offensives was less than 2,000. This indicates that the opponent may be fighting on multiple fronts, and the front is very long. If they are the other side, they can allow the army to attack here, indicating that Lord Harrison has already won most of them.

Thinking that there were still many troops rushing to Dunkel City in different directions, Borragon immediately sent the remaining cavalry to ventilate the message, so that everyone changed their path and gathered towards their side. Because if you continue to be so dispersed, there will be only one consequence: being broken by each.
