When the 1st Division's military camp was attacked, the staff immediately sent scouts to run back and report to friendly forces until they returned to the central army.
This does not conflict with the messenger eagle's contact with the Chinese military. There must always be multiple means of contact to ensure that the news is spread.
Tan Shang was able to arrive in time and the 79th Division accelerated its march, which was precisely because of the scout.
"Oh Hou!" shouts erupted in the military camp.
A giant white dragon flew out and pounced on the rebels on the ground with its fangs and claws.
This is the forbidden spell cast by Tan Shang, the Roar of Ice.
The power of the ice dragon is directly proportional to the magician's level, preparation time, and the concentration of nearby water elements. It is a forbidden spell with high flexibility.
How could ordinary soldiers stop the ice dragon? The rebels who gathered at the Nanying Gate scattered and fled. Only a few could mix with the defenders. Tan Shang could control the ice dragon accurately, with an accuracy of less than five meters.
"Stop being so arrogant!" Yao Shi couldn't help it anymore and rushed out on the Jade Swallowing Flying Elephant. He drew his gun and stepped forward to intercept the ice dragon.
It is not advisable to keep a long distance when a knight fights a magician, but it is difficult to control on the battlefield. The ice dragon flies faster than a flying elephant, and it can lead Yao Shi by the nose with a few twists.
"Haha, Fan Ying, stop hiding! Do you want to hide your presence in front of me?" Tan Shang's voice echoed on the battlefield.
While controlling the ice dragon, he used low-level magic to attack the enemy, and he was able to deal with a dominating knight with ease.
"Huh!" Another person rushed up into the sky in the darkness. He seemed to have a fish on his feet, but there was a horn growing on his head. The shape was very strange.
"One-horned glazed dolphin! Fan family." Yu Hu cried out.
The Fan family he was talking about was the Fan family of Xingguo Gong in Linhai Prefecture. Together with the Yang family and the Yao family, they defected to the rebel king Shaodian Yong and became the first group of big families to be expelled from the Senate.
Another dominant knight, Yu Hu's back was dripping with cold sweat. If Tan Shang hadn't arrived, he would have definitely been on the death list tonight.
"I didn't expect you to recognize the Fan family's fighting qi skills." Tan Shang showed no fear.
He raised his hand and put an ice shield on Yu Hu: "Help me block their sneak attack."
It is difficult for the Fearless Knight to resist the Dominator Knight, but he can still do the job just standing there as an obstacle.
The new Dominator Knight plans to join forces with Yao Shi to deal with the ice dragon first, and then turn back to deal with Tan Shang. This way, it will be safer. Who knows if there are other ambushes in the enemy formation.
The ice dragon gradually increases its flying height, and pulls away from the enemy with a flick of its tail, without engaging in a fight.
During this period, Yuhu blocked a jade-swallowing flying elephant and two one-horned glazed dolphins, and three ice shields shattered into the pool of water at his feet. Tan Shang set him a weak ice shield, which can also be understood as a one-time spell.
A shield saves mana compared to a magic shield that can withstand multiple attacks.
The rebels attacked again. Except for the front of the camp gate, the outer walls of the south camp were gradually knocked down. A large number of rebels crossed the wall and entered, looking for openings to invade the camp.
Basically all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Division were in combat mode. Although the first line of defense was lost and there were holes in the second line of defense, teams that completed their formations continued to emerge from the rear and pushed back the invading enemies.
Everything has two sides. Rainy days cause trouble for defense, but it also has advantages. The rebels rushed into the military camp but could not set off fires, and could not cause panic or create chaos.
Even if there were places that were ignited, the rain and the defenders would quickly extinguish the fires.
Yao Shi gathered strength and planned to enlarge his attack, but unexpectedly the ice dragon sank suddenly and jumped to the ground.
"Tan Shang, how long are you going to bluff?" A bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Hahaha! This is a battlefield. If you can't adapt, go home and farm!"
"There are really reinforcements!" Fan Ying jumped higher into the air.
He found that there were changes in light and shadow in the north, which were similar to the trajectory of the magician's flight.
Boom, a magic light bullet shot high into the sky.
"Come on! The battle is not over yet." Tan Shang pulled up the ice dragon, turned around and rushed towards Fan Ying.
The huge ice dragon could respond to magic light bullets, and soon more than twenty magicians flew to the south camp.
"Come down below and take action to contain the enemy Lord Knight!" Tan Shang turned back to greet the new magician.
Yes, the magicians of the 79th Division arrived first. They had no obstacles in flying at night, could easily identify the location of the military camp, and their reinforcements were faster than the cavalry.
"Where are the troops?" Tan Shang's attention returned to the enemy.
A magician replied: "It's almost there. All the cavalry have gone to the west and they will be able to launch an attack soon."
"Cavalry! West! Great!" Yu Hu seemed to have seen the end of the enemy army in the west.
The cavalry can disperse the attack. When entering the battlefield at night, there is no need to light a fire, just charge where there is fire.
The 18th Rebel Division ran out of the city and wanted to capture the military camp. They must not have looked for a suitable defensive position. In this case, they were attacked by cavalry and they died. I don’t know how they died.
"Open the gate and remove the roadblocks!" The staff officer in Xiying saw the reinforcements and said, "Quick, move quickly!"
More than a thousand cavalry roared in, shouting "Those who stand in the way will die" and rushed into the rebel battle formation.
The worst thing was that the archers were arranged neatly in the open area and concentrated their fire on the western camp. There was no infantry cover on the sides, and they watched helplessly as the cavalry rushed in front of them.
The dazzling fighting spirit, the cold spear points, the deadly crossbow arrows, and the speeding cavalry are ruthlessly harvesting the enemy's lives.
The combat capabilities of the Rebel 18th Division and the 79th Division were not on the same level. They allowed the cavalry to appear on the most comfortable battlefield. The rebels did not even have the strength to parry, so they collapsed as expected.
The staff officer of the 1st Division did not let the troops go out to pursue the rebels. Instead, they transferred their men to the middle camp to form a reserve team, waiting to support the south camp.
The situation in the South Camp is getting worse and worse. The outer wall has been demolished to pieces. Three to four thousand rebels are taking turns attacking the second line of defense. There are not many defenders intact on the line of defense. Most of them are injured and continue to fight.
.
"Retreat to the third line of defense?" Yu Hu discussed with Tan Shang.
"It's up to you." Tan Shang had no objection and did not overstep his authority and interfere with the top general's command.
"Retreat!" Yu Hu commanded his men to retreat.
Troops not participating in the battle are already building a third line of defense.
First, the archers and trebuchets retreated to positions behind the defense line, and then covered the infantry to retreat alternately.
Yu Hu led a team of elites to cover the magicians as they retreated, fighting while retreating, effectively containing the two dominant knights.
When he stood firm on the third line of defense, the excited staff officer ran over.
"Sir, the 79th Division is here and is gathering at the central camp."
"Great! Everyone, hold on a little longer, reinforcements will be here soon." Yu Hu quickly encouraged his men.
When the soldiers knew that the Eighth Army Corps was coming, they were greatly encouraged. Even the pain in their wounds seemed to be relieved a lot, and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved.
Xi Xiu didn't keep Yu Hu waiting for long, and brought several captains to check the situation on the battlefield.
"How do you plan to counterattack?" Xi Xiu was very polite and gave Yu Hu enough respect.
"I'm not familiar with your troops, so you should take command." Yu Hu handed over the command very simply.
His reason is very good. Only when you know your troops well can you command them and bring out their combat effectiveness.
"Okay." Xi Xiu did not refuse, "When the charge horn sounds, you will command your men to concentrate on counterattacking in the center and get out of the way on both sides. My people will outflank them from both sides and try to leave more enemies behind."
He didn't think about how to stabilize the defense line at all, he would counterattack as soon as possible, and he thought about annihilating more enemies.
Yu Hu thought to himself: This is the style of the kingdom’s elite.
"Okay! Send an order to the entire army. When the charge bugle sounds, they will immediately form a front line behind me." He wanted to go into battle in person.
There is no need to conserve physical strength now, and he is not the supreme commander. He wants to fight without letting his allies underestimate him.
"Move quickly, the Roar of Ice will dissipate soon." Tan Shang reminded the two division leaders.
Xi Xiu nodded and ordered: "The fifth and sixth brigades are on the left, the seventh and eighth brigades are on the right, take action!"
"Attention, all troops! The enemy's reinforcements are coming." Yao Shi reminded his troops.
Woohoo!
A charge horn sounded over the South Camp.
"Counterattack!" Yu Hu drew his gun and attacked.
"Kill..."
The defenders on the third line of defense abandoned the enemy in front of them and quickly ran towards the general flag in the middle.
The 79th Division formed two huge arrow formations and charged out from both sides of the battlefield.
Although the rebels were mentally prepared, it was still difficult to resist the enemy who had significantly higher combat power.
Both sides are in offensive formations. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Now the competition is about who is stronger, faster, swords and guns are sharper, and armor is stronger.
"No! There are cavalry gathering on the west side of the battlefield." Fan Ying fired a sweeping shot and forced the ice dragon away.
"You go down and cover the retreat of the troops. I'm here to support you." Yao Shi chased after the ice dragon.
"Yeah." Fan Ying turned around and flew down.
Yu Hu thrust out his spear light and defeated the enemy in front of him. He found that his left and right sides were empty.
"The enemy is trying to escape, catch up quickly!" he shouted, chasing the nearest rebel.
Tan Shang flew into the air, hit two ice blasts with his magic wand, and cooperated with the ice dragon to attack Yao Shi.
In a one-on-two match, he could only take a defensive stance, but in a one-on-one match against Yao Shi, he would go on the offensive.
"Instruct all the troops to turn into a conical formation and bite the enemy. The archers stopped shooting and replaced their melee weapons." Xi Xiu jumped onto a gate wall, holding a powerful crossbow in his hand.
"Report! The 9th Division has arrived outside Dongying."
Xi Xiu glanced at the east side and said, "Let them go around to the west camp and enter through the west gate."
At this time, the rain weakened, and he added: "Vacate the east camp, pile up dry firewood in the military tent, and clear the fire belt at the junction of the middle camp."
Someone had already told him that the 9th Division was encountering the Giant Shark Legion in the east, and that the situation between ourselves and the enemy was under control.
"Instruct the cavalry department not to pursue the enemy and gather at the south camp." He also ordered people to build a high platform to observe the situation of the entire military camp.
Ping! Yao Shi stabbed hard and finally broke the ice dragon into pieces.
"Hmph! I'll kill you next time!" He pointed out a flying elephant to Tan Shang.
"Come on, come and get it now."
Tan Shang did not intercept, and allowed the Douqi Flying Elephant to hit the ice shield. He waved his magic wand above his head, and it seemed that he was preparing another forbidden spell.
Yao Shi ignored him and flew away without looking back.
Yu Hu rushed outside the military camp and found friendly cavalry charging, so he quickly led people to respond.
"General Yu, the men of the Giant Shark Legion have attacked the Western Camp." Xi Xiu's messenger came to report.
