Seeing their arrival, the city immediately sounded the alarm, and countless soldiers from the Maple Leaf Danlin Army ran out of the city.
Under the command of the officers, they swarmed up to the top of the city like a tide, holding weapons and running quickly to their posts.
Ten miles away from the city, Almohad's army stopped, and then began to set up camp under the watchful eyes of the crusaders. Slowly, a few white tents appeared in the wilderness, and smoke was also burning in the camp.
Lorraine could even feel that these Almohads were working methodically and unhurriedly, just like an old farmer hoeing weeds. They even stopped from time to time to smoke a bag of tobacco or yell for two.
The appearance of Shengxin Tianyou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, looked at the gradually forming camp opposite, and said, "Why do I always feel that something is not right about these people?"
As the deputy commander of the magic force, Luo Linna was on duty in the city today. She had been walking with Lorraine. After listening to his words, she couldn't help but look at the camp opposite and said strangely: "I think something is wrong with you.
~! There are all living Almohads down there.”
Lorraine shook his head, gestured with his hands, and said: "I always feel that this group of people is different from the Almohad people under the city of Maple Leaf Danlin.
Those Almohads who were defeated outside, their state is obviously... somewhat careless."
Luo Linna was stunned, then looked at the enemy camp on the opposite side carefully, and said, "Really? Why can't I see it?"
Lorraine paused for a moment, looking at the deputy commander of the magician force who could only use magic, discharge electricity and throw fireballs but did not understand war. He said helplessly: "Forget it, since they dare to come, we will destroy them. After all, we are here.
You cannot control everything in the enemy's land."
After saying that, he turned around, held his head in his hands, and walked leisurely down to the city.
Luolina couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, and shouted at his back: "Where are you going? Didn't you see that the enemy troops have arrived?"
Lorraine waved his hand without looking back and said: "It's settled, it's settled. They just arrived today, so they won't launch an attack right away."
Luolina suddenly understood and couldn't help but let out a low "Oh".
Immediately afterwards, I heard Lorraine continue to say: "Besides, this general first defended Maple Leaf Danlin in the face of a violent attack by 70,000 elite soldiers. Then he attacked Hafs City with a lightning assault. With these two great achievements, he
, What else am I afraid of? I can’t let me take all the advantages. I have to leave some for others. Otherwise, it will affect unity.”
Luo Linna was stunned for a moment. When she saw Lorraine walking down the city, she couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "You damn bastard, you can do it so openly even if you are lazy~!"
After finishing speaking, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth...
Early the next morning, when the sun had not yet risen and the plain in front of Hafs City was still covered with light mist like light sand, the bugle was already sounded in the Almohad military camp.
Amidst the loud sound of the trumpet, the soldiers lined up in several queues, shouted loud slogans and strode out of the camp, slowly advancing towards Hafs City.
Luo Linna led the mage team and has been guarding the city for the past two days. She was keenly aware of the movements of the Almohad army and immediately sounded the alarm.
Hearing the siren, the soldiers who were prepared immediately jumped up, took their weapons in hand, and ran to the top of the city.
The mages who were resting under the city also hurried up.
General Wabador and Lester received the news, and soon appeared on the city wall with a large group of staff officers.
As soon as General Wabador swayed up the city wall, he asked: "Are they coming?"
After saying that, he returned the wine with a burp.
Lorraine also came in a hurry at this time.
No matter how far away he was, he could smell the strong smell of wine. He didn't know how much the old guy drank yesterday. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: It seems that everyone is secretly rumoring that he found a wine cellar full of good wine.
Jiao, it seems to be true. If I look for an opportunity later, I will have to fight against the autumn wind.
Luo Linna stepped forward, saluted the two men, then pointed to the city and said: "Go back to the general, the enemy army is about 30,000 people."
General Wabdor held his hand on the crenellations of the city wall and looked at the Almohads who were marching slowly towards Hafs. After a while, he sighed and said: "It seems that the Almohad generals are not easy to deal with~
!But it’s not bad. They should come and proceed as planned. If they don’t come today, we will have to go find them.”
Lester smiled, and then said: "It seems that these Almohads are quite cooperative, saving us a lot of trouble."
General Wabador laughed twice and said: "We are on their land, and based on the temper of their rabbit emperor, I guess the Almohad generals are more impatient than us. But this guy is also quite smart.
, leaving more than 10,000 people on hand."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "After defeating their large army, the remaining ten thousand people can't do anything. It is probably the Almohad general who is protecting himself."
Leo was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corner of Lorraine's clothes and asked quietly: "Boss, what do you mean by this? Are the 10,000 people left behind important?"
Lorraine sighed, pointed at the slowly advancing legions, and said: "Look at the quality of these two groups of soldiers. The legions on the opposite side have no flags, their steps are chaotic, and the dust is low. It seems that they have not passed much.
Training, a typical scumbag army. I even suspected that they were recruited from the countryside and randomly recruited.
As he spoke, he pointed to the ten thousand soldiers behind the formation and said: "And those others have bright helmets, neat queues, and orderly advance and retreat. Even if they are not elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, they have been trained for a long time.
warrior."
Leo lay on the city wall, narrowed his big eyes, and looked carefully. He couldn't help but admire Lorraine in his heart. Through these few signs, he could tell that these things were indeed the boss.
Lorraine thought of the love saint Li Longji who was imprisoned by his own son for his prodigality and blind command. He said to General Wabador and the officers behind him: "According to the intelligence we captured,
, that rabbit emperor has ordered the armies from all over the Almohad to attack us in full force.
If these generals dare not fight with us in a hurry, they will soon be accused of being passive, weak, or even treason."
General Wabador slapped the city wall and said loudly: "Yes. But wouldn't this be better for us? What we are afraid of is not that the Almohads will attack the city. What we are afraid of is that they will not attack the city.
Once they react, they can't hold on, wait for reinforcements, and fight steadily. Finally, they gather an absolute advantage and start a main battle with us. We will have a headache."
Lester rolled up his sleeves and said: "Okay, now that they have arrived, let's get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one will be afraid of Maple Leaf Danlin in the future."
At this time, the sun gradually rose, the fog dispersed, and the sky became brighter.
I saw a clear blue sky and no clouds. Today is a rare good weather.
The Almohad army did not move very fast, covering a distance of ten miles. They walked for three hours.
Everyone in Lorraine even had a peaceful breakfast, lay in the sun again, and dozed comfortably for a long time, before Almohad set up an offensive formation under Hafs City.
The Almohad army that came this time seemed to be well prepared. At the front of the Almohad army's formation, there were a large number of siege vehicles, but most of them were ladder trucks and vertical boards used to cover the soldiers approaching the city wall.
Armored vehicle.
In the middle of their queue was a heavy battering ram truck. The roof of the truck was made of wooden boards covered with leather, and a battering ram made of a tree trunk was hung below. The trunk was also covered with bark and was extremely rough.
At first glance, it looks like it was made in a hurry.
Lester looked at the battering ram truck, his face immediately turned red with excitement, and he shouted to his mages: "I am the battering ram truck, you are not allowed to snatch it from me. I want to try the newly developed one.
The effect of explosive bombs~!”
Lorraine saw that he was usually polite and polite, but after he went to the battlefield, he did not have the demeanor that a magician should have at all. He only focused on testing his newly developed magic. He was simply a hateful warmonger.
I couldn't help but wonder, did that old guy come from Umbrella Corporation, which researches zombies?
Next to her, Lorena couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead, sighed deeply, and said: "Oh my God~!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, General Wabdor immediately issued an order loudly, saying: "Magicians, please pay attention, do not start fighting until the enemy gathers under the city. Soldiers, do not let the enemy board the city. The cavalry are in position behind the city gate.
Be ready to counterattack at any time~!"
Following a high-pitched bugle, Almohad's army shouted, then pushed various siege vehicles and rushed towards Hafs' city wall.
But Lorraine and the others soon discovered that only the 10,000 soldiers at the front were moving, while the 20,000 soldiers at the back remained where they were.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel moved in her heart and said: "The enemy's general seems to be a smart man. He has at least learned the lessons from the battle of Maple Leaf Danlin."
As a traditional magic war, the Great Mage Lester, that is, two groups of people stand on the ground and use magic to bombard each other. This typical advocate of giant ship and cannon doctrine has always been opposed to Lorraine's adventurous magic.
The division's tactics of conducting air raids were very inconsistent.
After hearing what Lorraine said, he immediately grunted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Lorraine sideways, and said in a sinister voice: "That battle was just the result of some people's bad luck. Now I will let this
Help the bastards see what the true strength of Maple Leaf Danlin’s mages is~!"
A group of officers nearby immediately burst out laughing in the crowd. It wasn't because of how funny the joke was.
It's because...even though many of them are quite old, they are still just mid-level officers who have struggled to gain qualifications, while Lorraine is so young and has such fame and achievements, rising like a comet.
Therefore, due to the bad nature of human nature, they are jealous of him and always want to target him. Although they will not do anything to delay the military situation, they are still happy to do it with a few sarcasm and ridicule.
Lorraine looked up, but didn't care.
Not being jealous is a mediocre talent. Even if he becomes a superman with his pants on his head, he still can't make everyone like him. In this case, why waste energy in this regard?
Although Hafs is an important place, and the city wall is quite well built for the Almohad, it is still incomparable to Maple Leaf Danlin.
The city wall of Hafs is nearly forty feet high, which is the height of a three-story building. The narrowest part of the city wall is less than ten feet wide. Maple Leaf Danlin's 30,000 troops simply cannot fit on the city wall. The city wall only has heavy equipment.
Of the infantry and mages, only the tower was wider, so Lorraine and Lester could only stay on the tower.
Ten thousand soldiers were scattered in front of the wide city wall of Hafs. Almohad's soldiers were separated by a loose distance. This made the mages on the city wall look at each other. In this case, large-scale spells cannot
How much damage was caused.
Lorena looked at the Almohads below and said angrily: "Why are these guys so cowardly? At their speed, even a tortoise can outrun them~!"
Lorraine pondered for a moment and said to Lester: "Dean, are there any magicians in the Almohad camp opposite? Or have you heard that the Almohads have any powerful magic weapons?"
Lester was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, then stretched his hands forward, carefully searched the front with his magic power, then shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Almohad does have another one.
The court mage. But as long as he comes within the casting range, I won't know about it.
I have never heard that the Almohad royal family has any powerful magic weapons. Weapons like the Poseidon Halberd are not something you would expect to have. Moreover, I did not feel any abnormal magic fluctuations."
Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, I can be sure that this general is fighting a passive war and wants to preserve his troops."
A cold light flashed in Luo Linna's eyes, and she said: "He must be able to survive. Let me see if he has such a chance~!"
The battering ram, driven by dozens of soldiers shouting slogans, got closer and closer to the city wall.
Lester looked at the big guy walking into the attack range, turned to look at everyone happily, and said: "Gentlemen, do you want to see it braised, or do you want to see it frozen? Or dried?"
Everyone in the city gave Lester a blank look.
Luo Linna also had a black line and looked at her teacher coldly. The reason why magicians have a bad reputation is that they are said to be evil-minded and like to turn children into frogs and other things, and then throw them into the pot to turn them into potatoes.
Soup. To a large extent, it is caused by old guys like Lester who are confident and like to talk nonsense.
Lester raised his staff and slowly chanted a low-pitched spell.
A gust of wind blew past the city wall, carrying the flag of Maple Leaf Danlin and swaying with a roar, then carrying sand and dust towards the battering ram.
Lorraine and the others saw that the gust of wind did not fly past the battering ram, but slowly rolled up sand and dust, swirling around the battering ram.
The next moment, Lester groaned, then stretched his right hand forward, and then squeezed it tightly.
Immediately afterwards, the whirlwind surrounding the battering ram suddenly intensified, making a whining sound, and the dust formed a black curtain that enveloped the entire battering ram.
The soldiers pushing the battering ram screamed loudly in fear, ran out of it, and fled backwards as hard as they could.
The "Wooing" sound of the wind was mixed with the crackling sound of breaking wood.
Planks were constantly being thrown out of the whirlwind, and the "whooshing" sound of the wind soon turned into a thunderous "booming" sound.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" sound was heard, and the battering ram turned into fragments. The hammer body made of logs broke into several sections, flew in all directions from the whirlwind, and smashed into the phalanx of Almohad soldiers.
It immediately caused chaos.
The sound of horns urging the attack came from the Almohad phalanx supervising the battle behind them. The Almohad soldiers who had stopped pushed the ladder truck harder and rushed towards the city wall of Hafs.
The archers at the rear of the phalanx also began to draw their bows and release arrows, raining down arrows as much as possible on the city. However, their attack was easily blocked by the shields of the soldiers on the city and the priests.
The spell was resolved.
Then, the archers on the top of the city began to fight back vigorously, shooting a hail of arrows downwards.
The Almohads also hurriedly raised their shields. The archers lowered their heads and hid inside.
The two sides went back and forth and launched a difficult offensive and defensive battle.
There was a "squealing" sound, and countless ladders were set up on the city wall. The soldiers below quickly climbed up the ladders and climbed up the city wall. The soldiers following behind shouted and ran towards the ladders at high speed.
The mages on the top of the city were in groups, and under the cover of the shield bearers nearby, they threw various spells in their hands at the ladder.
Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it mercilessly swept away the soldiers on the ladder, or blew the ladder into several sections. The Almohad soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the spell just climbed to the top of the city, and were beaten by the soldiers of the expeditionary army who had been waiting for a long time.
Cut it down.
After destroying the ladder truck, the mages moved their targets to the soldiers under the city. Various range-killing spells continued to fall. There were explosions under the city. The Almohad soldiers who were originally rushing forward stopped.
They all stepped back.
When the Almohad commander saw this, he was very straightforward and immediately blew the retreat horn to those troops.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the Almohad soldiers immediately abandoned their shield carts, whooped, and all turned around and ran back.
Seeing that there was a rare chance of fighting, General Wabador waved his hand decisively and loudly ordered: "Open the city gate, charge with cavalry, and be careful not to come into contact with the enemy's complete phalanx."
Several bugles rang rapidly. Hafs's city gate quickly opened, and thousands of cavalry poured out from the city gate, and then rushed towards the scattered Almohad soldiers.
