On the night when he received the head of the Holy See's messenger, half of the black hair on the head of Count Mingfa, the city guard of Delhi, turned white overnight - the so-called famous general and not being nervous in battle are completely different things. Especially when facing invincible warriors like the Black Dragon Knights
division.
The city warden of Delhi and the Earl of Mingfa obtained the phantom beast at the same time 21 years ago, and were sent to serve in the Vatican's Frozen Continent Diocese at the same time. During the five years of fighting side by side, the two young men, both of noble origin,
A profound friendship was formed. Lord Hughes died in battle, which greatly stimulated Count Mingfa - Hughes was not the garrison of Gifu City with eyes higher than the sky and hands lower than the ground. Deep in Mingfa's memory,
,Xius is a human being
Rigorous, respectful in treating others, cautious when encountering major events, walking on thin ice as if facing an abyss. The city of Delhi is not a small city. According to the conservative estimate of Earl Mingfa, with Xiusi's ability, even if he faces an army of 50,000, he may not be able to defend the city for a month.
But it was too easy to defend for 10 days and 8 days. What was the result? The 10-minute city offensive and defensive battle compressed into minutes was a record, and it was definitely unprecedented and unprecedented.
The first battle in Qifu and the subsequent series of battles in Delhi. Chi Aotian's unruly and unruly attacks were enough to shock all the military strategists in the Pan-Continent. In the third battle, I believe all the captains were first-level
Senior officers and ordinary soldiers with some ambitions, for this
There must be "expectations" in a battle. Everyone hopes to see what kind of attack methods this general who seems to have come out of the darkness will have. And as a touchstone, Count Mingfa, how can he feel the same in his heart?
"Tension" can be described clearly.
It was not until the Uru Special Envoy arrived in Rhodes City and informed the Khan-blooded Iron Cavalry mercenary group that the big stone in Count Mingfa's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He only needed to defend the city for 10 to 30 hours. With this certainty, Count Mingfa still had absolute confidence.
grasp.
March 27, Spring, Year 6 of the Magical Calendar, 12 noon.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Black Dragon Knights, which has expanded to 15,000 people, quietly gathered at the foot of Rhodes City. Spring in the Flower Language Plain is in the dry season, and most of the grass and trees are withered and yellow. As soon as the iron hooves of more than 20,000 war horses pass over the grass, they immediately dig.
After leaving the yellow sand under the withered grass, gray dust was flying all over the sky. The armors of the majestic knights and their horses were covered with loess. Even so, none of them made a sound, just like an army of ghosts that had just crawled out of the grave.
.
Although they had long heard about what the Northern Expedition Army did along the way, the soldiers on the city wall, especially the senior officers, were still shocked. This huge surprise did not come from the regular army of the Black Dragon Knights.
Looking down from Rhodes City, the huge army square formation is divided into two distinct parts. In the middle and relatively behind is the regular army of the Black Dragon Knights, all in black armor, with white ribbons in prominent positions. And in the middle is the regular army of the Black Dragon Knights.
Periphery, also
The first batch to attack the city were a group of soldiers in disorderly clothing. According to previous intelligence, these people should be innocent villagers who were forcibly carried away by the Black Dragon Knights. The strange thing is that there is no imminent look on the faces of these villagers.
to be coerced into committing
The fear of death fighting, let alone the cowardice of fear of death. In the eyes of these "soldiers" who were farmers a few days ago, there is a strong desire to kill. If you look closely, you will find that quite a few people, every time
After a few minutes, he will subconsciously stick out his tongue and lick the corners of his mouth that are not dry and cracked. Also, everyone, no matter what the weapon in his hand is, even if it is a simple wooden stick, on the other side of his
One hand must be holding a huge bag tightly.
What kind of farmers are these?
What is strange is that there is not even one of the most ostentatious Vulture Knights in the Black Dragon Knights Expeditionary Force. Undoubtedly, there is an unknown conspiracy in this.
This time, it was Tayang who was responsible for recruiting rebels. However, before that, most of the attempts by Tayang to persuade surrender ended in failure. The moment this decision was made, almost everyone knew about Chi Aotian
His true thoughts - just like a robber breaking into a bank, he always shouts: "Robbery"
You've been robbed, raise your hands." This is a process that must be performed. You can't just stab everyone in the chest without saying a word. Then he is not a robber with social ethics.
Whether you do it well or not is one thing, but whether you do it or not is another matter entirely. This is entirely a matter of human principles.
With obvious disdain on his face, the black-robed priest casually summoned two large lizard-men followers - Oh my god, what on earth is he going to do? The officers behind him groaned in helplessness - facing the Holy See's army summoned like this
With such an evil race, no officer would choose to surrender in public, unless he was crazy.
"Hey... Surrender, I will count to 10, otherwise I will kill all the living garbage in the city. Let the God of Light die!"
The city includes Count Mingfa, whose brows are frowning tightly, and the big lizard man, which is a very short and evil ancient monster in the legend. It is said that this kind of monster already existed in the world before the Creator opened up the world. The Creator created the world of gods and humans.
After the world began, these monsters often attacked the unenlightened human ancestors. Ugly-looking races such as orcs, bearmen, and werewolves, and
Compared with monsters like the giant lizard man, they are all kind-hearted and obedient babies. Before this, Count Mingfa was quite dissatisfied with some of the actions of the Holy See, especially his collusion with the orc tribes in the wilderness. At this time
, really saw the lizard man, a legendary monster from the demon clan, and then the count felt how wise and decisive His Majesty the Pope was.
"Your Excellency, you are telling a joke." Count Mingfa on the city wall stood with his right hand pointing to the sky: "There is the sky above, and there is blue earth below. All things in the world live under the grace of the God of Light. You dare to offend the power of God, aren't you afraid of death?
Will he fall into the Hell of Emi later?"
The tall fat man in black robe under the city wall tilted his bald head in an exaggerated way. He turned around and shrugged his shoulders. His loud voice echoed in the wilderness: "I have said long ago that it is hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words! Chi Aotian, attack
Let's go to the city. We have been invincible in all battles and conquered all attacks. Look, our brothers in the Allied Forces
How anxious are you all? Haha, according to my old man's in-depth field investigation over the past few years, the women in this city are not ordinary beautiful. If you pinch it, your blood will drip." No matter if you are a pastor or a high-ranking official,
Officer, such vulgar and boring words should not come out of his mouth.
Most of the Allied soldiers had saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths. In the past month, the battle had been fought so smoothly and so many benefits had been obtained. All of this had made the people who had just taken off their peasant clothes have already forgotten their original mission.
everything.
The tall dragon knight officer in black armor moved his mount to change positions with Tayan. His white gloves made two gestures in the air, and pushed more than a dozen simple catapults from the back of the camp - this was also a helpless decision.
For example, on the Huayu Plain, not even a bush can be seen within dozens of miles. I want to make a large catapult.
It's almost impossible. These few small things were made after demolishing two churches. What's even more serious is that it is very difficult to find a fist-sized stone on the Flower Language Plain. In short,
For these more than 10 catapults, the Northern Expeditionary Army sacrificed a lot of horses to pull the stones from the church.
At the same moment, the first few columns of peasant soldiers, under the loud orders of the officers, walked forward more than 20 meters sparsely, and had already entered the shooting range of the few longbow archers on the city wall.
"Shoot -" the attack and defense of Rhode City officially kicked off after Qu Jianhong gave a brief command.
Stones about 20 centimeters in diameter rose into the sky with a whistling sound, and hit the city wall one batch after another. The regular soldiers quickly raised their shields, which were of no use at all. The irregular stones easily destroyed the small walls.
The round shield will smash the human body behind the shield to the other side of the city wall.
"Big shield! Big shield!" the junior officers shouted loudly. Along the horse path, the most elite soldiers directly under the city guard rushed up, and a one-meter-high shield reinforced with iron sheets was erected on the city wall.
"Change the smoke, add fuel!" Qu Jianhong saw the towering shield and immediately gave new orders.
Wolf smoke? This is what the Northern Expeditionary Army is most in need of. Several low-level officers jumped off their horses and brought the smoke cart over with the trainee knights. They poured lamp oil on the packages of Wolf Smoke, which glowed brightly in the sun.
A handful of self-igniting powder was sprinkled on it, and flames instantly burst out. "Bang..." Throw
The 10-meter-long wooden trunk of the stone cart made a dull whistling sound, and a large package of smoke flew towards the city wall with flames. The package of smoke was light in weight and large in size. A lot of the smoke fell under the city wall, and only a handful of it was thrown on the city wall horse.
On the road, pieces of sacks scattered as soon as they hit the ground, and black smoke billowed up on the ground.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!" The skeleton masked knight took off the one-handed war hammer from the dragon's back, stepped on the pedals with both feet at the same time, half stood on the dragon's back, and shouted the order. The four thousand-man team behind him heard the sound and moved.
, picked up the ladder, howled and rushed towards the city wall.
"Shoot!" Count Mingfa's face turned slightly green on the city wall. He didn't expect that the enemy would use smoke like this. He first used catapults to bring out the heavy infantry, and then used oil-filled smoke. At this time, he wanted to withdraw already.
It was almost impossible to replace the light infantrymen who had reached the dismounting path. It seemed that...their most expensive combat power would be consumed in the first siege battle.
More and more black smoke was thrown on the city wall. The soldiers on the wall soon lost sight of the enemies below. They could only rely on their feelings to shoot arrows downwards. Small and large stones were thrown down together, and the people trotted along the horse path.
Then he brought up the boiling water and splashed it
It was poured down from the city wall, and heart-rending screams immediately came up from under the wall. Dozens of long ladders were put up on the city wall almost at the same time, and then they watched the ladder heads tremble.
Every shake means an enemy has climbed up the long ladder.
"Shoot - shoot - shoot quickly!" The angle archer pushed away the infantry in front and shot randomly along the ladder in the thick choking smoke. At this time, he could no longer care about accuracy.
In the exciting turbulent situation, you can't expect anything more.
"Push the ladder down quickly -" Count Mingfa issued a new order.
Four-meter long poles with thick arms were quickly distributed. Every four or five soldiers held one pole and placed it on the top crossbar of the long ladder. Several soldiers pushed the long ladder to one side with force, and the length of the ladder immediately
It wasn't enough, so he rolled down against the city wall amidst the screams of the soldiers climbing the ladder.
More ladders came out from a distance, and arrows were being fired at random from the bottom of the city. Some soldiers were shot over as soon as their heads appeared. More and more smoke was thrown up the city wall. Under the black smoke, on the side of the kerosene
While flowing, swallowing up everything, the flames have begun to string together.
Count Mingfa clearly knew that at this time, the number of casualties among the defenders was very small. However, these continuous attacks caused great trouble to the army with no actual combat experience, especially the junior officers, most of whom had never experienced war at all.
, let alone expect to go to the northern parishes to get practical training. They issued
Most of the commands are self-contradictory, and even artificially cause congestion and confusion among different arms. No matter how good the commander is, if he does not have capable subordinates, he will have no room to display his skills. At this point, the Holy See is in an absolute position.
Disadvantage - What can those pitiful few thousand professional soldiers do?
Sadly, during the war, as a commander, he even had to rush to the front line and personally direct the details of the war. It was really not a glorious thing. It was really the lowest level of practice that was extremely helpless and had to be adopted.
"Quickly, get some purified water and extinguish the flames." In the thick smoke, Count Mingfa's eyes were red with smoke. He coughed and loudly issued a new order: "Quickly, go down to the city and put out the boiling oil. Quickly, light the city on fire. Quickly -
―”
"Your Excellency, it seems that you are really experienced in war." A leisurely and cold voice suddenly came from under the city wall in front of Earl Mingfa.
"Ah?" The Earl broke out in a cold sweat...
Under the surprised gazes of many soldiers, a white skull mask slowly rose from outside the city wall, followed by the mouth of an earthly dragon with a red tongue sticking out, and yellow teeth full of dirt shining brightly.
"Protect the city guard!" Several of the guards behind Earl Mingfa drew their swords and rushed forward.
"Cough...cough...Young man Qu, you don't have the virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young at all. You didn't even know how to help me when you came up." A fat bald man climbed up together with the dragon knight from the ground, whether he was an old man or a young man.
The Earthly Dragon Knight has white floating spells floating at his feet.
Qu Jianhong gave a long laugh: "Old guy, I allow you to summon those disgusting things. Let's see who kills the city guard general first." The huge one-handed warhammer hung in the golden wind without any fancy movements.
He directly knocked away three or four long swords in front of him. The guard who rushed at the front saw his long sword being smashed away. Before he could wake up from the shock, the pointed war hammer tore the leather armor and hit his lower abdomen...
…
"You and I probably have no chance, but boy Chi is here too." The evil Tayang kept summoning four lizards and four sheepheads. This was already the limit of summoning, and then charged forward while wielding a standard war hammer.
Go up - this guy really doesn't look like a priest. How can any priest rush to the front with force in a war like him?
The numerous defenders on the city wall suddenly felt a strong gust of wind, and the black smoke was blown away. Just in front of the city wall, an extremely huge skeleton dragon suddenly appeared. The dragon roared, and the yellow smoke exploded.
It was sprayed out, and a series of coughs resounded among the soldiers. The soldiers at the front fell to the ground languidly after a breath, and a black air quickly rose on their faces...
"Toxic - run - uh..." The soldier behind just covered his nose and said a few words and rolled to the ground...
The dragon's two strong lower limbs rested on the crenellations of the city wall, and the square bricks made of red clay were kicked into powder like dough. In front of Yao Lilong, no human being could hold on for a round, and the sharp forward grasp ignored it.
Any physical defense, like tearing off pieces of paper, armor made of leather, steel, and the human body protected by the armor
It was torn into pieces, and pieces of blood mist erupted continuously on the city wall. Chi Aotian was sitting on the dragon's back, twice as tall as an ordinary person. The sharp inch-yuan dragon gun was worthy of being an artifact from the world of death. Every time
One thrust seemed like it wasn't close enough, but at the last moment it shot out several feet, piercing the human body violently before shortening back.
Three people, an undead dragon, and eight monsters from another world, like boiling water and snow, the powerful soldiers on the wall of Rhodes City were slaughtered without any ability to resist...
Count Mingfa's flag was also hit with a hammer by Tayang who was rushing at the front. The soldiers around him lost their backbone at this moment and were in complete chaos!
Chi Aotian has only one target - Count Mingfa. Looking at the Bone Dragon Knight rushing towards him like a meat grinder, Count Mingfa immediately remembered all the legends about this young man. Count Mingfa quickly took a few steps back and with one hand
Hold on to the crenellations inside the city wall and prepare to jump off with all your strength. If you jump from here, you may not be killed by falling, but at least it will be better than falling into the hands of the enemy.
At this moment, the black and red dragon gun suddenly burst out with a dazzling light for no apparent reason. The moment Count Mingfa's eyes returned to normal, he realized that the sharp dragon gun was pressing against his chest, and that skull
The dragon knight was looking down at him coldly.
"Immediately order surrender." A cold tone sounded on the city wall, and then Count Mingfa saw countless eagle knights rapidly pulling up from the ground...
At this critical moment.
"Your Excellency, as a general, how can you be so reckless?" A hearty voice came from the sky...
Amidst the exclamations above and below the city, Count Mingfa's long-awaited reinforcements arrived - Iron Hand Banjiang, the strongest among the pan-continental mercenaries, appeared out of thin air over the city of Delhi at the last critical moment.
"General Chi Er, I really admire your supreme fighting prowess. Hughes and I did not lose unjustly. We are old and cannot compete with young people like you. It's a pity that you can no longer threaten me. I wish you good military success."
Good luck
." As soon as he finished speaking, Count Mingfa's broad chest slammed into the inch-extended gun. The sharp spear point penetrated the steel armor on both sides without any sound and pierced out from the back chest. Red blood dripped down the spear tip.
The ticking fell.
"Your Excellency, you are here at the wrong time." Chi Aotian clasped his right hand on his chest and saluted the dead knight, then carefully pulled out the inch extension and brought up the skeleton dragon.
"Shoot! Shoot these rebellious people to death!" Seeing the reinforcements coming, Lawada, the special envoy of the Holy See in Rhodes City, rushed up to the city wall with his personal entourage on the other side.
Up and down the city wall, hundreds of thousands of soldiers simultaneously raised their long and short bows and crossbows of different sizes. Countless arrows and feathers instantly pounced on the two enemies on the city wall - Tayang and Qu.
Jianhong.
"Be careful!" Qu Jianhong knew that Tayang was not wearing any steel armor, so there was almost no chance of survival from flying arrows. The knight in the skull mask struggled to jump off the back of the dragon, and the heavy steel armor had already withstood the air.
With greetings from countless arrows and feathers, Tayang turned around and was heavily pressed to the ground by the knight.
"Asshole...you smash me to death..." The old scoundrel's words suddenly stopped. At this moment, Tayang saw clearly that there was a crossbow arrow as thick as an arm inserted in the chest of His Excellency Qu Jianhong, and the blood was like blood.
