Chapter 361: The Wrath of the Undead (Part 1)
Chapter 361: The Wrath of the Dead (Part 1)
The town gate slowly opened, but the cavalry in the distance did not mean to charge. Above the city gate, there was a huge arrow tower, and more than ten heavy crossbows were aimed directly in front of them. The losses would be considerable if the cavalry attacked. At least there must be a catapult or heavy crossbow to suppress the arrow tower in turn to truly impact the open city gate.
Muen rode a skeleton war horse, took the lead and left the city gate. Behind him were six jade skeletons led by the Winged Skeleton, as well as a thousand undead knights, and behind the undead knights, there were hundreds of corpse soldiers.
The cavalry in the distance were shocked when they saw so many undeads appearing and quickly gathered together to form a formation.
The Winged Skeleton gave an order directly in Mu En's mind. Mu En followed the Winged Skeleton's instructions and said, "Who are you commanders? Come out and speak."
His voice was gloomy, and with his fake costume, the cavalry in the distance thought he was a deceased magician. No one expected that there would suddenly be an undead magician in this small town. Before the army behind him arrived, the flag commander among the cavalry was suddenly at a loss.
The undead mage is the most difficult person to deal with. Although the undead magic means decline, there are probably dozens of undead magicians above level seven, each of which is an undead magician who cannot afford to provoke.
It is said that the attack distance of the undead magician can exceed kilometers, which is even more terrifying than the elemental mage. The cavalry retreated uneasyly, not realizing that the formation was already a little scattered.
The enemy is a group of undead, not knowing pain or fear.
"A bunch of waste." Mu En said this sentence, and swept the two hundred cavalry nearest with contempt. The more than two hundred cavalrymen were frightened, and suddenly they turned their horses and fled backwards.
The cavalry in front were only more than 200. Facing thousands of undead, the pressure in the heart caused these regular troops to collapse.
Above Muen's head, a black magic pattern with a diameter of more than three meters slowly rose, and in the middle of the magic pattern was a three-dimensional red eye.
The undead stared, a magic of the undead that could be seen dozens of miles away.
The undead stared and rose. In the sight of the winged skeleton, more than ten miles away, more than 20,000 troops were rushing towards the town. In addition to the cavalry in front, Qin Yin's army dispatched more than 26,000 people this time.
Although the Qin Yin military system was different from Tanggulas, the two sides still had similarities.
A legion of the Tanggulas Empire was 25,000 people, and a battalion of Qin Yin had 10,000 people. If it was equipped with auxiliary soldiers of more than 15,000 people, it happened to be the number of a legion.
An army that reaches this size is equipped with a lot of siege equipment and can carry out group combat.
The cavalry hundreds of meters ahead looked fearful and obviously did not dare to fight the undead army of the Winged Skeleton. The Winged Skeleton sneered. The other party was indeed preparing to attack the city, otherwise he would not have brought more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers.
Generally speaking, the attack limit of the catapult is five miles. Even if there is no such good catapult in the town, the army in the distance will stop five miles away, let the infantry change their equipment, and prepare to attack the city.
Qin Yinren had sufficient information. They knew that there were 5,000 soldiers in this town, but in fact there were only 500 elite soldiers. The others were all new recruits who had not yet entered the battlefield, while the more than 200 Metatlins who entered the town were all elite.
The town has less than 800 elite soldiers, and 26,000 soldiers are enough to capture this town.
What Qin Yinren did not expect was that Salin did not send a simple team to transport materials, but Salin personally brought people to Kushui County. And there was a level 8 undead beside Salin. No one knew about Salin. During the defense battle between Metatlin, the Winged Skeleton did not come back overseas.
This time, the Winged Skeleton came to Kushui County with Salin and brought all the undead he had sealed in the green ghost for a long time, with more than 50,000 troops. These were all prepared by the Winged Skeleton to equip the fleet. For Salin's safety, he kept no one with him.
He invested one thousand undead knights at a time and had no pressure on the winged skeletons. However, it was difficult for him to command too many undeads. Every time he fought, two thousand five hundred undeads were the limit. He really hoped that his master would advance. If he became a level nine undead, he could command tens of thousands of powerful undeads to fight. If he completely absorbed the soul fire of the undead king, the winged skeleton would be sure to command more than 100,000 undeads.
The king's soul fire has already taken the prototype of the rules.
The undead's gaze skills allowed the winged skeleton to see the army in the distance. He knew that fighting was inevitable, and unlike his plan, Qin Yinren had never thought about any other means.
Destroy this town with force and intercept Metathrin's messenger. There must be powerful men of the magician level in the army in the distance.
Magician, it's hard to deal with. The Winged Skeleton thought to himself that Tamuen had already issued an order.
Muen pointed forward on the skeleton war horse's magic wand, and the undead knight on both wings immediately activated the war horse and rushed forward.
The weapon of the Undead Knight is different from that of humans. It is a rusty sword covered with corrosive pits. In fact, each pit is rich in death energy, which will only be stimulated when chopping and sucked by humans, and can quickly evaporate toxicity.
If an army without a magician encounters a deceased knight, it will be the most painful battle. The Winged Skeleton saw that there were no magicians among the two thousand cavalry. Among the more than one thousand and three hundred infantry, there were less than ten white-robed mages, after all, they were just vanguards and used to harass the enemy.
The quality of Qin Yin's army was immediately reflected by the charge of this. Among the more than a thousand infantry, eight hundred were divided into two layers and huge wooden shields were erected. They did not carry vehicles, and the metal shields were all among the main infantry behind.
The infantry were arranged in a defensive formation, with eight hundred infantry in front and five hundred infantry in back. The infantry behind took off their compound bows and shot them up to the sky.
The infantry's reaction was too mechanical, because the two sides were very close, and there was no saying that the undead knight's charge was slow to speed up. The skeleton warhorse directly increased the speed to the highest level.
Qin Yin's bow and arrow were sharp, and the five hundred infantry's slings could be shot three arrows in a row before the cavalry rushed to the infantry position. However, the undead knight was too fast, and the second arrow was fired out. The undead knight in front had already hit the wooden shield heavily.
Behind the wooden shield, the hardwood bracket with a wrist was broken. The infantry leaned against the body and could not stop the impact of the undead knight. It seemed that a huge stone was thrown into the pond. The shield infantry in the front row was knocked apart, and the shield infantry in the back row was stabbed up, but the shield infantry spear was also knocked away by the undead knight.
If you want to shoot the undead knight, you must at least enchant the alchemy arrows, or directly shoot the soul flames of the undead knight.
The undead knight's sword swept wildly, the shield infantry was completely dispersed, and the heads flew around. Because there was no fully enclosed armor, these infantry soldiers wearing only light armor were poisoned and fell to the ground within the storm of death energy.
The white-robed mage behind wanted to dispel the death energy, but was unable to do so. He was pulled onto a horse by more than a dozen cavalrymen who entered the infantry position and fled to the distance.
Infantry can fight to the death, but these mages have to keep them. First-level mages are also rare wealth, and there is no doubt in Qin Yinren's mind.
The Winged Skeleton did not allow these mages to escape. He waved his giant axe and wrestled a ten-meter-wide passage from the infantry position. Muen was completely fainted. Under the protection of six jade skeletons, he moved forward, forward...
In the eyes of the enemy, Muen is a tyrannical necromancer. After violently attacking the infantry position, he traveled through the infantry position and chased towards the white-robed mages.
The white-robed mages were scattered. The undead mage did not use magic, but instead chased them with a few terrifying undead creatures. Are they going to capture them alive?
The white-robed mage guessed correctly. The Winged Skeleton planned to capture these mages alive and killed the mage directly. He was also worried that a certain mage had a heritage and annoyed the mage's sect. If it was captured alive, it could be sold for a good price.
The cavalry didn't think so. They thought the undead mage wanted to kill the white-robed mages. Although the white-robed mage did not release an attack magic to target the undead mage, it would be offensive to dare to dispel the dead aura of the undead mage.
The cavalry, which was originally divided into more than a dozen squadrons, wanted to launch a counter-charge and attack the undead knights from the flanks, but now they have to divide their troops to rescue the white-robed mages.
The Winged Skeleton was overjoyed. He guessed correctly, and the cavalry took great care of these mages.
It was easy to take care of. The winged skeleton waved the giant axe, and the 4-meter-long giant axe was swung away. No matter what he touched, it was all halves. Muen became more courageous under the protection of the seven skeletons. Under the guidance of the winged skeleton, the magic wand in his hand kept pointing in all directions. With the guidance of his magic wand, a small team of undead knights would inevitably rush forward to rescue the magician's cavalry.
These Qin Yin cavalry did not prepare targetedly. They were cross guns, armor-breaking or joint attacks, which were good weapons, but the damage to the undead knight was too small. Instead, heavy swords were more reliable when dealing with the undead knight.
The Winged Skeleton deliberately slowed down so that Qin Yin's cavalry could penetrate into the front and block his footsteps. He happily waved his giant axe and cut the cavalry and his horse into two pieces. The most unlucky ones were several advanced swordsmen. If they had combined weapons, they would not be chopped in half.
No one has ever encountered such a fierce undead. Under the huge power of the winged skeleton, Qin Yin's cavalry had no enemy in one round.
The white-robed mage was bait. The Qin Yin cavalry rushed towards the Undead Knight without fear. The Undead Knight's big sword flew, and the strength of both sides was similar, but the impact of the Undead Knight's war horse was too strong. Qin Yin's cavalry suffered a loss on his mount and was broken through by the Undead Knight. Wherever he passed, blood directly condensed into purple in the black dead aura and drifted all the way.
On average, only five Qin cavalry attacks can stab a deceased knight off the horse. However, the deceased knight waved his big sword and joined the corpse soldiers behind him.
