Chapter 227 [Single ride into the camp! 】(2/3)
"I don't think so, sir!" The commander's face was ugly: "I think we are in trouble... Sir!"
"Why?"
The commander whispered: "I have been to the grassland, and my father also participated in the war with the northwest people more than 20 years ago. If during the war, the grassland people would choose to stop fighting at night to save the souls of the dead...
…Then there’s only one explanation!”
"oh?"
The commander's face was ugly: "There are shamans in their army! Only shamans are qualified to comfort the souls of warriors who died in battle. This is their custom... Sir, shamans are equivalent to
The magicians of our empire! They are a group of people with terrible abilities."
Robert was silent for a while. He looked at the tents of the prairie people in the distance. Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Magic... shaman... damn! Since shamans have abilities comparable to magicians, why don't they let shamans do it this afternoon?"
Attack us?"
The commander shook his head: "Sir, I don't know much about it. But I vaguely heard that the rules of the prairie people are different from ours. Their shamans generally do not take action easily. Especially in a war, only one's own side will be defeated first.
The shaman will take action only after the blood is drawn. It seems that it is said that the shaman abides by a strange rule. If the shaman kills first, it is a sin for them. If they kill someone first, the shaman will take action.
If you take revenge, then it will not be considered a violation of the precepts."
"Weird rules." Robert tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
"Sir." The commander suddenly smiled. His appearance was not outstanding, but there was a firmness in his eyes at this moment: "I think their shamans will take action at dawn... Can we
Whether you live to see tomorrow's sunset is still unknown... No matter what, it's my honor to fight alongside you! It's also my honor to die under the tulip flag!"
Robert was silent for a while, looking at this subordinate who usually didn't like to talk. He took a deep breath, raised his sword, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is for the family!"
"For the family!" The commander also drew his sword, tapped Robert's sword lightly, and then performed a knightly etiquette.
This hour seemed to be very long, and at the same time it seemed very short.
But Robert knew in his heart that he was probably in danger this time! There was no sign of the prairie people's sneak attack, and he couldn't even send a message to the young master. On the plain, there were prairie people's cavalry everywhere, and they wanted to send scouts to rush out to deliver the message or
Asking for help...that is wishful thinking.
In the prairie people's tent, horns came from one after another. The horns were melodious, as if comforting the dead souls, with a faint softness. But in Robert's ears, the sound seemed to be a life-threatening movement!
Because as soon as the horn sound ends, it is certain that the prairie people will launch the next attack! And this time... there will be shamans participating in the battle!
Finally, when the horn ended, Robert suddenly puffed up his chest. The wound on his left shoulder was still aching. Maybe the bandage was not tight enough. It was a little loose, and Robert could feel that the blood had soaked into the bandage.
, sticky and wet, very uncomfortable.
But...they are all dying, so why bother with so much?
Knight Robert sneered. He placed his sword gently on the city wall, and there was a will to die in his eyes.
The sound of drums, like thunder, came from deep in the prairie people's tents. Then the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a group of prairie cavalry rushed out of their military camp, then lined up, and suddenly a few people ran out from behind.
Ten strong men with naked upper bodies carried several large and sharp wooden stakes with noisy sounds, and then used their hammers to drive these sharp wooden sticks into the ground.
These wooden sticks, which were as tall as a person, stood just outside the bow and arrow range of the city. The top end was sharp. Robert didn't understand what these people wanted to do.
The scene that happened next made Robert suddenly furious!!!
The prairie people began to carry out corpses one by one! From the appearance of those corpses, Robert immediately recognized that they were his own people who fell from the city top after being killed or injured in the battle this afternoon!
He has his own soldiers and those slaves!!
Now, all the armor and clothes on each of these dead warriors have been stripped off! And the armor that originally belonged to the infantry under their own hands has been worn on the bodies of the prairie people! These prairie people who lack mineral resources seem to have a special interest in armor.
Innate desire. Regardless of whether they fit together or not, they just wore the armor of the imperial infantry and sat on the horse.
The corpses were placed in a row, and the dead soldiers lay straight on the ground. A prairie man slowly walked out of the queue a few steps, holding a scimitar in his hand, pointing at the city wall, and drank a few loudly
sentence.
From a distance, Robert could not clearly hear the prairie people's words. But when this guy finished speaking, the prairie people next to him immediately burst into roars and shouts. They seemed to be crazy, holding up their scimitars,
Howling like a wild animal!
"What do they want to do?" Robert said gloomily.
"Sir! They are announcing...the massacre of the city!" The commanding officer next to him gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"Massacre the city!?"
"Yes!" The officer suddenly punched the city wall hard, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes: "They... they are going to kill someone!!"
Before Robert could ask any more questions, he suddenly heard the prairie man roaring. The dozens of naked-chested strong men behind him seemed to have heard the order. They took out their sharp scimitars from behind, and stood in front of Robert and many soldiers on the city.
Under the ground, they cut off the heads of the dead Tulip Family soldiers one by one!
Then, all these heads were impaled on those sharp wooden stakes! Rows of wooden stakes were covered with bloody heads!!
This move immediately made all the soldiers standing on the city angry. The soldiers roared loudly and drew their weapons. The crowd was furious for a while, and some even wanted to jump off the city to fight the opponent. If the city gate had not been blocked,
If so, I'm afraid someone would have rushed out desperately!!
Even Robert, who had always been calm, had bloodshot eyes and distorted face at this moment. He suddenly roared with anger and jumped onto the city wall. In his anger, he almost jumped off the city on the spot to fight the enemy, but suddenly he was surrounded by
The commanding officer hugged him and pulled him down tightly.
"My lord! My lord!!!" The officer's eyes were red: "My lord! This is a common trick used by the prairie people! When they attack a city, they will often use this method to anger the defenders and lure them out for a decisive battle!
Don’t be fooled by them!!!”
Robert roared angrily, turned around, pointed at the prairie people and shouted loudly: "Beasts! A bunch of beasts! If given a chance! I will turn all the people on your prairie into human heads!!!!"
Du Wei stood on the hillside and looked ahead.
The men behind him felt the Duke's body trembling faintly.
Du Wei used his eagle eye technique. Although he was still several miles away, he could still clearly see what was happening below the city. Especially when the prairie people chopped off the heads of the corpses and impaled them on the wooden stakes one by one.
At this time, Du Wei's fists were clenched tightly, and his nails almost pierced the palms of his hands. The men behind him could not see this, but they could clearly feel that a terrible cold air suddenly burst out from the Duke's body!
!
"Sir... you..."
Sieg tentatively spoke.
Du Wei turned his head. He looked at Siege's face, looking at this loyal magic student, and he suddenly gritted his teeth: "It's a pity that you can't see that scene... I don't know if it's luck or misfortune!"
After saying that, he composed himself: "Go down and let everyone gather, we are ready to rush over!"
"No!!" Sieg immediately objected.
"What did you say?!"
Seeing Du Wei's angry eyes, Sieg suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and said quickly: "Sir! I have been in the army. In this situation, a large army is surrounding the city, and the defenders in the city are outnumbered. According to usual practice, most of them have already
The city gate is blocked! There are too few of us, with more than 800 horses. It’s hard to say whether we can rush through the opponent’s array of 20,000 people... Even if we can rush through, the city gate is blocked. We can’t even enter the city.
!If you are forced to die by the enemy at the gate of the city..."
Du Wei was silent. He thought for two seconds and made a decision immediately.
"That's it! I'll rush into the city alone! I'm a magician and can fly in from the sky..." Just after saying this, Sieg seemed to object. However, Du Wei's murderous eyes forced him to dare not speak out.
, Du Weicai continued: "Ziege, all of you retreat temporarily, this is too close to the enemy camp! You retreat two miles! At dawn, Al Qaeda should arrive with our people! You wait until all the teams arrive! Then
...I will give you a signal! As long as you see fire rising above the city gate...you must concentrate all your forces and rush in! Do you understand?"
Sieg looked at Du Wei and was about to fight to the death: "Sir! But you are alone..."
"Let me ask you, do you understand?!" Du Wei suddenly shouted, his eyes fixed on Siege, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I am the Duke, I made a decision! Execute it!!"
"Sir! You are the coach! You are the Duke!" Sieg still wanted to stop him.
"Ziege, please remember my words." Du Wei took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "There are things in this world that you don't have to do...but some...you must do them!!"
Just next to the human head stand at the bottom of the city, when the prairie wolves were laughing and shouting unbridled, they did not notice that a thick dark cloud had quietly floated over in the sky.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar from behind!
boom!!!
There was a loud noise, and a bolt of lightning burst out from the dark clouds in the sky, suddenly striking down and directly hitting the hinterland of the prairie people's camp!
Then there was a burst of fire. In the camp of the prairie people, many people who were alarmed screamed in surprise. There was also a fire, which immediately burned three or five tents into a ball of fire, and the people inside had not had time to do so.
If you rush out, you will be killed in the fire!
Du Wei, one man and one horse, faced the camp of 20,000 prairie people and launched an attack!
The thunder summoning spell just now is the most advanced level five spell that Du Wei can currently use. The summoning of such a magic spell immediately took away almost half of the magic power from Du Wei's body! But with his fingers
On the ring made of multicolored stones, Du Wei replenished his magic power in a moment!
In the light of the fire, the prairie people had already noticed that there was such a group of horses rushing towards their camp. The fierce prairie wolves immediately divided into dozens of horses and rushed towards them, raining arrows all over the sky!
Du Wei was on the horse, and suddenly he slapped the saddle hard, and he immediately flew into the sky from the saddle! The magician's robe on his body was fluttering in the sky, and with his open arms, Du Wei chanted a spell loudly.
.
His whole body was wrapped in a ball of silver magic light, and his open arms seemed to embrace the entire sky! As the dark clouds in the sky got lower and lower, streaks of lightning flowed among the dark clouds. Du Wei looked down from a high position.
The grassland people were as dense as ants on the ground, and his roar was heard in the sky.
