The speed of the Battle of Delhi shocked senior military officers from various countries at the time. Some people said that this battle, which lasted only ten minutes, opened up a new era of war.
On the night of March 25th, winter of the fifth year of the Magic Calendar, the red moon slid silently through the clouds. Spring in the Flower Language Plain will quickly enter the rainy season. The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the air pressure is very low. The soldiers can even
He could clearly see the faint water vapor condensing into tiny water droplets on his metal armor. The visibility was not very good.
The soldiers guarding the city would shoot several rockets in all directions every half an hour to confirm that there would be no attackers under the city. The news of the massacre in Gifu City was no longer a secret. In the eyes of the temporarily recruited soldiers, the Black Dragon
The soldiers of the Knights have become equated with demons. No matter how lazy the soldiers are, chills continue to rise in their hearts. Under the pressure of life and death, everyone is trembling as if they are walking on thin ice.
Unfortunately, everyone ignored the top of the head.
Of course, judging from the actual situation, even if the soldiers guarding the city guard the sky carefully - the result will be similar. The distance that human eyes can see in the middle of the night cannot be compared with that of elves.
Such devil's fighting ideas are proposed by those who are closest to the devil.
At the battle meeting against the city of Delhi, the army chaplain once again exceeded the scope of his authority. He categorically denied Chi Aotian's idea of using the Allied forces to attack Delhi. He paid no attention to the general's face and said rudely in his words.
Used a series of words such as stupid pig, idiot, etc.
Fortunately, although Chi Aotian is extremely cold-hearted, he is very quick to accept good opinions. Moreover, this young man is not an ungrateful person, and he is quite able to distinguish between malicious attacks and well-intentioned criticisms.
difference.
Long before the military meeting, the army chaplain had already selected 10 indigenous residents from the Allied forces and asked them to draw a floor plan of the city of Delhi, with emphasis on the city guard's palace and the cathedral. The 10 maps were repeatedly compared with each other with minor differences.
, and finally confirmed the accurate locations of several targets.
His Excellency Tayan's idea is very simple - gather the elite soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights and raid the city guard and the cathedral in the middle of the night. If successful, this city will become the largest supply base for the expeditionary force. If it fails, the city will be detoured.
After passing Delhi and continuing to advance deeper into the grassland, there is no need to expend too much energy and blood for this city that has no strategic significance. If you just consider pushing the breath of terror into the hearts of the residents of the Holy See, massacre a big city and massacre 10
A small town, the result is the same.
The characters who entered the Tayang plan are as follows: Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, Qing Luo, etc., as well as all the fantasy beast knights, all the elf archers. For the expeditionary army, such a surprise attack team can be said to be concentrated.
More than 80% of the elite.
"Your Excellency...won't you take part in this operation?" Qu Jianhong asked seemingly casually as he pulled down his mask before setting off for the expedition.
"Hehe..." The old and disrespectful man seemed not to hear the irony in the words: "When did you see the most important character rush into the middle of the enemy to chop and kill, and... just in case,
You all died in the city, and I will command the remaining soldiers to surrender honorably to the Holy See." Tayan had a vengeful smile on his face.
In one sentence, His Excellency Qu Jianhong was choked up and his handsome face turned red under the mask. He is the most shameless person in history, but that's it.
The sneak attackers were divided into two teams. His Excellency Chi Aotian led three phantom beast knights and 150 mad vulture elf archers to raid the city guard, while Lord Qingluo and Qu Jianhong led the remaining phantom beast knights and mad eagle elf archers.
The eagle archers raided the cathedral, and Qingluo's order was simple - kill all the clergy workers in sight.
The other two captains led other soldiers and began to take action at nightfall, quietly lurking five miles outside the city of Delhi. The war here was under the charge of Chang Qing, the commander of the Crazy Eagle Swordsman Battalion of the small mercenary group, and Chang Qing participated.
He participated in the attack and defense of Hamburg and had similar war experience.
The number of soldiers in the city garrison has doubled compared to usual, but in terms of combat strength, it has declined. Generally, the city garrison has a direct army of about a hundred people, and its combat strength is higher than that of an ordinary swordsman battalion.
Much higher. During the war, the General promoted most of the elite soldiers to officers and sent them to the city walls or to command the people. In addition, the three bishops also selected more than ten brave men from them for safety reasons.
The elves launched the attack at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. After experiencing the Battle of Hamburg City, the elves had mastered the secret of night fighting. The deep night completely swallowed up the green arrow feathers.
In the first wave of arrows, each person was hit by at least three arrows and fell to the ground sluggishly - even before a warning signal could be issued.
Chi Aotian and three fantasy beast knights led their mounts down, and more vulture archers also landed quietly. At low altitude, as Yao Lilong descended rapidly, the sound of his wings tearing up the air almost resounded throughout the world. This was like this.
The loud noise certainly alerted the sleeping guards of the city guard's mansion, including the city guard.
The inexperienced swordsmen of the city guard hurriedly pushed open the barracks door without even putting on their leather armor. The arrows fired from the opposite wall came straight at them. The elves shot straight at short range very fast, and the short arrows shot through continuously.
The bodies of many swordsmen without armor were found, nailed to the wall with scraps of flesh.
General Hughes was still awake and was studying the loopholes in the city wall's defense with several of his subordinates. As soon as the screams started to sound, General Hughes immediately blew out the oil lamp on the table. Sweat instantly fell from the general's forehead. In a short time,
In two breaths, Hughes had already guessed what happened - many times, one wrong move and the whole game is lost... Such thoughts have already started to come to mind.
A cold and plain voice came from outside the courtyard: "Fight, or surrender."
Chi Aotian! Although I have never seen this person, according to the information from the Fanos military, in the empire, only this person can shorten the question into four words, and this person can use it in this way.
The flat tone turns the question into an explanatory statement.
The squadron leader of the Phantom Beast Knight next to the boy in black lit two torches, kicked open the window, and threw them in. The flames devoured everything that could be ignited, and thick smoke billowed out along the windows. No one in the room could stay any longer.
After a while, the six officers coughed and fled from the house.
"Your Excellency! There was a sneak attack late at night. To be honest, as a soldier and a person with the title of knight, I feel deeply contemptuous of what the Black Dragon Knights have done in recent days." Hughes recognized Chi Aotian at a glance.
The people are so unique. In the middle of the night, the stalwart bodies exuding the aura of death stand like a black mountain.
"Yes. I'm sorry. I'm just learning from His Majesty the Pope." Chi Aotian mocked the noble and just Holy See in his own way, and drew the big sword from his back.
Hughes was speechless. He had never dreamed that the Holy See would conquer Scambrai before. The bishops added countless words of modification to that battle. Of course, all the words and strategies of sneak attacks had been completely erased and completely changed.
It became a frontal attack by the righteous against the evil. But as a professional soldier, how could he not know the gap between the imperial army and the Holy See's religious soldiers? If... some hidden methods were not used, it would be impossible to defeat in any case.
Top-notch military personnel such as the Amy Empire's Colorful Dragon Knights and the Royal Guards.
"My lord, retreat quickly!" The two subordinates pulled out their long swords from their waists, one on the left and one on the right. The snow-white swords shook out a series of tiny lightning flowers in the night sky.
"Be careful!" Hughes immediately remembered the previous introduction about Chi Aotian, the brave man who could defeat Xiang Tian, and even killed two giant dragons in a row, and reminded his subordinates in surprise.
Chi Aotian's grasp of the long sword is much more accurate than any language. He pushes the sword with his left hand diagonally away from the sword on the left, and spins his body fiercely. The Xinghan sword in his right hand draws a two-meter semicircle, half stabbing and half cutting.
Oblivious to everything in front of him, the officer on his right hand obviously didn't know or forgot the story of Xinghan's long sword. He blocked the sword diagonally, and Xinghan's dazzling light instantly swallowed up the lightning flower. Half of the sword suddenly fell to the ground and jingled on the stone slab.
Bounced up. The young officer was stunned for a moment, watching the sharp sword passing over his body as if it had no body. After a moment of silence, a line of blood suddenly appeared under the bright pupils. The officer wanted to raise the weapon, and his whole body
He lost his balance and fell stiffly. Half of his head rolled witheredly on the ground like a cut coconut shell. The sword just cut off the soldier's head at an extremely fast speed, and the white brain was mixed with blood.
Slowly flowing out, the body whose brain nerves were destroyed in an instant was driven by the central nervous system and subconsciously crawled forward for more than two meters. The white and red liquid pulled out a long line...
Suddenly, the face of the young officer on the left turned pale, his hands were shaking so much that he threw the sword to the ground, covered his mouth and vomited it out.
At this moment, several fantasy beast knights and wild eagle archers appeared again on the south wall. With a clear and long smile, a few big heads were thrown in: "General Chi, fortunately you have not disgraced your order, all the middle and high-level priests'
I brought all the heads." In the dark night, a knight with a skull painted on his face led the sitting dragon to the ground with a roar.
Without looking at their faces, their identities can be identified just from the upward sweep of their heads on the ground.
The priests who have been serving in the Holy See are not mercenaries or soldiers, and have little experience in confrontation. Just now, several senior priests heard the alarm sound outside and thought there was a public riot. They did not realize that the enemy they had not met yet had crossed over.
They rushed into the city from a distance of nearly a hundred miles. The priests opened the door and greeted the visitors in a condescending tone. Qu Jianhong led his mount dragon and jumped down from the roof. The warhammers in his hands hit the bishop hard with the sound of wind.
On the back, the sharp hammer point instantly pierced the weak body and emerged from the chest. The huge claws of the Earth Dragon habitually destroyed all destructible objects in front of it. The head of another bishop was scratched to the ground by the sharp claws.
.
Only then did the last bishop remember to chant the incantation: "O God in heaven..."
Ahem... Even Qing Luo, who was drawing his bow on alert in the distance, didn't know what to say. How long has it been since then that he actually chanted such a large-scale magic, and it turned out to be an offensive magic... I really don't know what these priests have done before.
How did they participate in the battle? Of course, Your Excellency Qingluo did not know that these bishops had never participated in any war.
The war hammer carried the wind again and photographed the last survivor against the wall. The blood painted a red humanoid pattern on the white wall of the church.
Seeing the heads of the three bishops rolling on the ground like rubber balls, everyone in the city guard couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Your Majesty the City Guard, if you don't surrender, we will fight out of here and set some fires. I want to see the reaction of the army and the people who have lost their officers. Maybe some god will really come out to help them.
Right. In that case, Delhi City will be as famous as Gifu City through the ages. However, Gifu City seems to have a larger population, so Delhi City should be ranked second or further behind." Qu Jian
Everyone understood the vicious connotation in Mr. Hong's ill-intentioned question.
"Order the troops directly under the city guard to surrender to the army led by His Excellency Chi Aotian. No one is allowed to resist, otherwise he will be killed without mercy." Every word of General Hughes was quite bitter.
"Yes...Your Excellency..." A middle-aged officer dropped the sword in his hand and strode out from the officers of the Black Dragon Knights.
Hughes bowed to Chi Aotian with great respect: "I have been in the military service in the southern part of the Holy See for 17 years. I have always admired the Chi family and the Black Dragon Knights. This time, you and your family really gave me a big blessing.
Surprise." His humble tone obviously came from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome, this is just the duty of a soldier." Chi Aotian's attitude suddenly became more modest.
It looked like the officers of two friendly armies were conducting handover procedures at the defensive position.
"Your Excellency's kind of killing...especially for civilians, is really against the military..." The old officer looked up at his young opponent.
The expression on Chi Aotian's face did not change at all, and he pondered for a moment: "You have no right to ask me like this... Everything I have done, the Holy See and the Fanos army have done worse than anything else. I will not stop,
There are only two ways to conquer a country, either spiritually or by force. I am not the Holy See; I am a soldier, and I use my own means to revenge. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. There is no need to take away those benevolence, justice and reason.
Come out and speak truth, the biggest truth in the world is - kill for life. At least, I did not deliberately kill any civilians, at least I let 10 people go to report the news. If you don't know how to surrender or escape, you deserve to die.
.I have only one goal. The Holy See will hand over the pope and all the clergy who participated in the bloody night in the imperial capital and automatically dissolve it. Then I will stop. Otherwise, no matter how many people die, don’t blame them."
Is such a thing possible? Based on the past experience of several Holy See officers, there is no hope at all.
"Alas... injustice is repaid... I sincerely wish you a prosperous military fortune." Hughes' tall body bowed deeply again.
The middle-aged man's bulging shoulders drooped in a low sigh. As he turned around, he took off his helmet with blue feathers and bent down and placed it on the ground. His long hair was instantly spread over his broad shoulders, and a pair of white
He took off his gloves from his hands, wrapped them around his long sword and put them on his helmet.
In the firelight rising into the sky, the former Delhi city guard held the scabbard of his sword diagonally with his right hand, and pushed open the door that was already licked by the flames with his left hand. His tall body entered the door in a flash, and his disheveled hair danced in the heat.
With tongues of fire, the wooden door was carefully closed, and the scabbard was stuck on the door latch. A strange smell instantly rushed into the nostrils of everyone in the yard along with the heat wave.
"General--" Tears welled up in the last three officers of Delhi City at the same time. They knelt down on one knee, clasped their right hands on their left chests at the same time, and buried their proud heads deeply.
