Chapter 604 Gold and Black (Part 2)
As the first team in the world of ice and fire to fight against the Land Granters The performance of the Golden Regiment is remarkable, and it can be said that it is not excellent. However, what they encountered was not the imagined ordinary shield-bearing infantry, but the first grenadier troop in the history of Westeros.

Although the artillery has been installed, the ferocious technology of the explosive bomb will not light up for a while, so Igor can only pull out the bomb that has made great achievements in the war against the Others, and make this simple but reliable. Weapons continue to play residual heat.

The shield held by the soldiers in the first row is not only to resist arrows and spear attacks, but also to prevent the flying fragments from harming their own soldiers.

In a flash of light and thick smoke, countless iron nails, gravel, pottery pieces and other killing additives flew away with the explosion, causing people near the explosion to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves .

The Golden Corps is at the top of the ecological chain of the mercenary world. The soldiers are naturally well equipped. The various armors that are generally equipped from the regiment commander to the bottom soldiers are very effective in curbing the damage of most explosive fragments. Don't look at it. The nearby soldiers were bleeding and screaming in pain, but in fact the damage they suffered was probably less than the strong tinnitus caused by the loud noise.

The white smoke filled the air. Although most of the soldiers were dizzy, they still had battle strength. The uninjured officers waved their weapons and ordered to continue charging. One of the things to come -- a very bad side effect.

The war elephant was startled.

The elephant is a powerful and intelligent giant beast, intelligent individuals are said to have intelligence comparable to that of human children, but they are also sensitive creatures, no less courageous in the face of unknown dangers than children. too big. In order to train them to fight, trainers often do a lot of targeted preventive training... After graduating from the series, they can be undisturbed by war drums, horns and human shouts, and can face mountains of daggers without fear. and seas of flames to charge, or to keep fighting despite the superficial wounds caused by arrows and lances...

But no one has ever trained them in anything related to explosions.

The golden group's war elephant Knights know that it is a rare awareness to plug the elephant ears before charging to prevent them from being disturbed by the cannon on the other side. However, the sound insulation effect of cotton material is average, and it is far away on the other side of the river. The "muffled thunder" can't be compared with the shock that occurs on the soles of the feet.

In the rumbling sound, the war elephants, who were still imposing in a rainbow-like manner, screeched their footsteps in chaos. The roar next to them damaged their hearing, the fire caused by the violent reaction flashed into their eyes, and the strong smell in the gun smoke even more strongly stimulated their sense of smell...

This is happening Everything is frantically triggering their somewhat sluggish but still-present instinct to perceive danger, and at this moment, the orders of the riders on their backs and the safety of their human companions behind them are completely left behind by the war elephants, in their huge heads at this moment. Only a single thought left: Get away from this spooky, terrifying and unnatural place!
......

And to escape, the "barbed wall" made of black giant shields and lances by the Land Granters in front is obviously not a good place to go, so the only option left is... ...sideways and backwards.

When the stunned mercenaries finally recovered from the dizziness, and under the call of the leading officers, they were ready to continue the final charge, but found that a moment ago The perfectly coordinated "step-image synergy" has collapsed, and the giant beasts at the forefront turned their heads and began to stride aimlessly in all directions, and the beautiful sharp cones that condensed their reason and combat experience rushed to seven zeros. Eight falls, scattered not forming.

The three older and more experienced elephants also know how to bypass the "oneself" and escape from the vacancy, but the other young and reckless ones just turn around and squeeze into the crowd without regard for it. Under the crushing and trampling of his body, the entire river beach was full of infiltrating cracking sounds and mournful screams.

The surging golden wave shattered oneself before hitting the black shield array. But their opponents won't show mercy, the first group of forwards to cross the river each brought two bombs, the two of the grenadier after throwing oneself and the two of the shield in front are available, at intervals of a few seconds , the black clothed Legion did not give the enemy a chance to breathe, the white smoke from the first round bombs had not dispersed, the second and third round explosions also sounded intensively, and the continuous roar from behind made the war elephants who had given up their charge. Running faster not only broke the efforts of the war elephant riders to stabilize the emotions of the mounts, but also shattered the courage and fighting intent that the mercenaries barely picked up. The sound rang, and the shield wall fell forward in unison with a thud. The land-donating army soldier with few casualties dropped the wooden shield and replaced it with the lance handed over by his companions, seamlessly switching from the defensive situation to the attack. With a fierce and loud cry, he killed the opposite side of the collapsed army!
Everyone from the land-grant army to the commander to the soldiers gave the Golden Corps the same high-level treatment of ghouls, but the Golden Corps' will to fight can't even touch the dead. With this combination of common sense, the golden wave that seemed to be able to drive the land-grant army into the river with a single charge just a moment ago disintegrated in an instant, and was pushed back by the small group of spreading black.

Among the 1,000 people who charged in the first group, more than 900 people still stood in disarray and began to flee, which soon affected the 500 archers in the second row. Four hundred soldiers were coaxed away by two hundred land-grant army soldiers like chasing Duck and fled back to the direction they came from. Looking at all this from a height, Strickland's face was ashen, embarrassed and angry, but also with uncontrollable horror: he did not blame the soldiers on the front line for fleeing, in fact, when the formation had collapsed, even if he held on Fighting to the death is also a gift, and preserving strength is the first priority of mercenaries...

However, in this staggering ratio of fewer wins and more battles, it was the first time that the Golden Corps was the loser. character of.

1,500 vs. 200 can fight like this, how many golden regiments are enough for them to make most of the land-grant army cross the river?

Two minutes ago, he still regretted that the attack order was issued a little early, but now, he couldn't hold his breath any longer: "Order, when the first wave of soldiers retreats to this formation, all The army attacked!"

The first batch of strange iron balls that the opponent brought across the river has been exhausted, and the original tight Defensive Array type has also disintegrated due to the pursuit... Now is the best time to attack. , as long as his face is thick enough, he can completely claim that the 1,500 people were just bait sent to lure the enemy out of the hole - and then let the remaining 4,000 people charge, and the two or three hundred people who cross the river will be charged. People hurriedly ate them, and the whole team evacuated from the battlefield!
The time to block the enemy is too short? Poorly killed?
Let little Aegon talk to those damn Reach nobles, it's oneself's family property and hole cards who died!

The unique war drum sound of the Golden Corps changed again, and all the remaining forty or more Hundred Men Squad raised their flags in the sound of thumping and began to shout and prepare. Mixed with a few panicked emergency avoidance-dodge the collision of a few fleeing war elephants.

Using the entire Golden Corps to attack the trifling 200 enemies, this is a fresh combat order that has never been seen in Legion history, but the commanders of the various units who watched the first battle between the two sides did not have the slightest idea. Dare to question and despise "use a cleaver to kill a chicken". They are all praying silently: I hope the other party will not take out any new weapons and methods that they have never seen before, so that they can safely kill the two hundred people who rushed over, and then completely withdraw from the battlefield.

But God also doesn't seem to want them to.

"Dragon!"

"Dragon!"

"What's it called! It's so big that a human can see it! Prepare the dragon-hunting crossbow!"

Above the gradually drifting gunpowder smoke, and under the gray sky, the two dragons that had hovered above the Confederate Army camp and then fell into the industrial park on the other side rose up again and crossed the Blackwater Rush. Arriving over the halfway-up wedding venue, after a few laps around the desolate empty camp, I found the bright battle flag of the Golden Corps densely packed on the shore and preparing for the general attack, and flew close to them, above their heads. Perform a long elliptical fly.

The psychological pressure of having such two big guys flying over the head is really not small, but if the other party's last resort is this, then Strickland is really not afraid: compared with artillery and bombs , Dragon is the expected rival after all. No one is a fool. They all know that the troops who stay behind are the most dangerous. The Reach army left a third dragon-hunting crossbow to the Golden Corps when they evacuated. From the perspective of the number of people, their "number of dragon-hunting crossbows per capita" is the Reach Army's number of dragon-hunting crossbows. It sounds embarrassing to kill hundreds of land-grant troops and then withdraw from the battlefield, but if you shoot a dragon...

Even if it's not the one the Queen rides, that's an incredible feat!
……

On the Blackwater Rush, the three pontoon bridges are still continuously transporting land-grant army soldiers to the south bank; in the creaking sound, a dozen dragon-hunting crossbows raised their bodies high and aimed at the air ; The first batch of rout soldiers crossed the embankment and fled into the main formation, and the ones who stood up were thousands of people with complete battle strength and complete living force... And the pioneers of the Land Granters who had previously pursued the victory seemed to have sensed the danger and drove the enemy away. Afterwards, he returned to the south end of the pontoon in the order to withdraw troops, and rebuilt the wooden shield to rebuild the Defensive Array type-just because there were more friendly troops behind him, he pushed forward a circle earlier than before the battle.

The two dragons did not dare to descend.

After watching one minute, Strickland judged that the opponent was just bluffing, lowered his head and re-observed the battle situation, ready to launch a general attack command after each unit entered the predetermined position, but the surrounding people shouted and shouted again. cut off his job.

After searching around several hundred meters in the sky, Daenerys found the spot where the Golden Corps flag was the most densely populated, and began to lower the altitude and dive toward it.

All the soldiers who controlled the dragon hunting crossbow held the launcher upright, waiting for the Demon Dragon to fall into the effective shooting height to see who could grab the legendary record of slaughtering the dragon, even The head of the regiment also lifts the head again, facing the dragon swooping head-on.

The surrounding officers panicked and persuaded Strickland to escape, but he shook his head and refused. The dragon was looking down at the ground in the sky, how could he know that he was the most critical regiment commander? At this most critical time, being surrounded by a large group of people and being moved will become the biggest target... Besides, I haven't dug an air-raid shelter. Under the range attack weapon of Longyan, where to hide?
He's taking a gamble that the Dragon Hunter can hit the Demon Dragon before it bottoms out and starts spewing dragon flames, or at least scare them - fly back into the sky!
The dragon flies down at a great angle, and the height drops from 400 to 300. In fact, the dragon hunting crossbow can barely reach about 200 meters, but the theory is only a numerical value after all, even if good luck It is also difficult to threaten the Demon Dragon, who is wearing scaled armor and thick leather, so the crossbowmen from all over the place kept calm and waited, waiting for the height that could be sure to hit and ensure the killing effect.

But they didn't wait for it, the dragon flapped its wings and braked in the air before falling into the most dangerous height. After a false shot, it moved towards the height and climbed away, seeing that it was about to miss the dragon hunt. The crossbowmen of the opportunity quickly pulled the wrench and shot the long and heavy dragon hunting spear.

In the era before the invention of aircraft, there was no chance to practice anti-aircraft shooting. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes with deep disappointment, more than ten dragon hunting spears all swept across smoothly one by one. The parabola flew far under the two dragon bodies, and the closest one was more than two meters away, and not even a single dragon scale was hit.

In addition to sighing, hundreds of sharper eyes also saw this scene: the dragon didn't really just feint a shot, but when it swooped to the lowest point, I don't know what it was. He loosened the claws or cut off some mechanism, and threw the two large strings of unknown objects connected by ropes to the direction of the Golden Corps' command.

The recommended tickets are almost enough, and the update is still halfway there. I am ashamed and ashamed, and sprint hard!
