On the Seven Towers

Garriott snorted coldly and said: "Of course I have my own plans. No one except His Majesty the Emperor can control how the Black Guards act."

At this time, shield-breaking bullets were fired from outside, and the noise hitting the shield was much louder than ordinary bullets.

Watching the explosion of cannonballs outside the barrier and inside the barrier are two completely different feelings. Wang Jiyuan and the others only felt that no matter how the shell exploded, this annoying turtle shell remained motionless, and there was no satisfactory effect at all. But from the perspective of the people inside, every blow from the "cannon" was terrifying, as if the thin light curtain would be unable to hold up at any time and let the rain of fire fall. The effect of ordinary artillery shells and elemental artillery shells was already like rolling thunder, but the effect of shield-breaking shells was like thunder suddenly exploding in the ears.

Everyone looked nervously at the barrier that began to shake. The ordinary soldiers around him had long been frightened and hid in the corner.

Primo said: "If this kind of attack is intensive enough, it will be enough to break through the barrier in an instant. If one of them falls on the top of the city, even if we people..."

Marco said: "Didn't you notice that the enemy only sent a small number of men? The test alone has achieved such power. What if they attack with all their forces?"

"What do you mean?" Marquis Baldini asked.

"As I just said, we should send the Black Guards and launch an attack while they have fewer people. If we can destroy those 'cannons', we will definitely relieve a lot of pressure."

Garriott was about to refuse, but then the mages outside fired dispersing rays. The effect of the white light hitting the barrier shield was even more obvious than the previous shield-breaking bullets. He looked at the crumbling Shield, made a decision: "Okay! Your Majesty the Marquis, I can try to attack this army. But not with the black guards, but with your personal guards.

We haven't figured out the enemy's path yet, so we can't throw our most elite forces into an unclear scene right off the bat.

Therefore, I want two hundred of your men, all of whom must reach the level of a knight's squire and be proficient in equestrian skills. "

"This is impossible. All my personal guards combined don't have that many people." Marquis Baldini said.

Garriott said unceremoniously: "Then ask other nobles. I know that there are more than a dozen nobles of all sizes here, and there are even more businessmen. Each of you can contribute seven or eight people." It meets my requirements. By the way, there must be a few people with decent skills in the city guard, right? With them, it should be enough."

Marquis Baldini said: "Your Excellency Garriott, I have to remind you that such a team is difficult to manage."

Garriott said: "You don't have to worry about this. My deputy and I will lead this team together. You must know that the two of us are in the same boat, and I will cherish the manpower you give me. "

Warriors above the level of knight squire have already entered the path of cultivation. How can they be so easy to get together with? Marquis Baldini didn't have time to ask for people one by one, so he could only call some people from several nearby city guards, plus his personal guards, and forced dozens of people from several nobles who lived nearby. Guard. After piecing together, we finally gathered around 150 people, among whom there were at least 40 or 50 people, who were just ordinary cavalry.

But even if he can't provide enough manpower. Garriott had to go, too, because the Chinese had begun to put away their artillery and begin to retreat. If you want to gain something before they fall back to camp, you need to act now.

Garriott transferred two high-ranking officers and four middle-ranking officers from the Black Guard, and hurriedly opened the city gate. The cavalry team went down the ramp and entered the outer city. They rushed along the main road in the city and headed towards The Chinese team killed behind them.

Garriott said to his deputies, high-ranking knight Miguel and high-ranking mage Sacheri: "Those magic weapons called 'cannons' take time to use. Now that they have put them away, they will definitely not have time to remove them. Come down and deal with us.

They also have a troop of cavalry, and these guys can be trouble. As soon as the cavalry came over, Miguel led forty men to contain them.

Sacheri took the remaining men to attack the cannon-carrying vehicles. Just let your cavalry hold off the infantry so you have a chance to use magic. When we come out this time, we don't want to kill or injure their infantry, but we must destroy those cannons. "

The two nodded in agreement. Mage Sacheri said: "But what about their group of mages?"

Garriott said: "I will deal with those guys!"

He paused and said: "Don't take risks when encountering any dangerous situation. Nothing is more important than our own lives."

The majority of the Chinese army is infantry. Therefore, they marched much slower than Garriott's cavalry. Although they set off before Garriott's team, when Garriott chased them out of the outer city, they did not travel too far, and there was only less than two miles between the two sides. Kilometers away, there is an open space with little shelter in the middle.

Without the cover of the outer city buildings, the Chinese quickly discovered the cavalry chasing them from behind. Their ranks came to a halt, and the rear ranks became the front ranks. The thinly-clad soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner, relying on the vehicles carrying the artillery, and formed a formation.

In Garriott's view, the postures of these people were very strange. Some were standing, but others were squatting. Garriott instinctively felt that something was wrong. He had never seen any warrior participating in a battle like this.

What's even more strange is that some soldiers are holding some half-person-high tubes on the ground, and they are lined up at the front of everyone. Garriott noticed two men beside each tube, and a soldier put an unknown cone-shaped object into the tube. The other put his hand on the end of the tube.

Thinking that their shapes were miniature versions of those large "cannons," Garriott had a premonition that these small tubes would cause him big trouble. However, now is not the time to retreat. If he gave up this opportunity and retreated, others would not understand his caution. Instead, he will be blamed for delaying the fighter plane. Now let's just hope those little things aren't too powerful.

On the other hand, the Chinese cavalry did not come up to harass them as expected, but the mages stood in the middle of the infantry formation in a strange formation.

Everything in front of him was very different from Garriott's judgment. The Chinese team had a weird atmosphere from head to toe.

"Sir, something is very wrong with these people," Miguel said.

Garriott pulled out the long sword from the scabbard and said: "I know, but now we have no other choice. In this case, let's all go together and make destroying those strange cars the top priority."

He raised his long sword, thrust it diagonally upward into the sky, and shouted with fighting spirit, "Charge!"
