As soon as he arrived at the front line, Datney became nervous.
The solemn and murderous pressure brought by the battlefield was everywhere, causing him to look left and right like a conditioned reflex.
The Ben Cavalry advocates attack, and their advantage is to run long distances and charge into battle, either while attacking or on the way to attack. During the march, all soldiers will be accustomed to looking around.
Like a bird, keep your eyes on your surroundings at all times.
Datney felt a little heavy.
The frontline prisoner-of-war camp was much simpler, with a wooden fence surrounding a hilltop and several animal skin tents set up inside. The seriously injured were recuperated in the tents, while the lightly injured or ordinary prisoners rested on the spot.
Cat people's patrols have become particularly frequent. Both men and women wear swords on their waists and carry bows and arrows on their backs. It can be seen from their cross-defense and guarding terrain that they are experienced.
"Stop looking and come here to help."
A voice urged.
Datney responded hurriedly.
The one who called him was none other than Banu, who had been caught trying to escape from prison by digging a hole.
He is missing a left leg, but the Yao people installed a new prosthetic leg for him. The prosthetic leg is made of brass and iron, and its shape is no different from a normal leg, except that it makes a squeaking sound when he walks.
Banu liked it very much.
He would slap the leg like a weapon, or kick it to knock away rocks or break small trees.
"If nothing else, the medical methods of the Yao people are really amazing... Although this prosthetic leg cannot feel flesh and blood, it is not bad at all and is more capable of fighting than my original leg."
Datni was very curious and asked why the Yao people installed such expensive and sophisticated things on him.
Not long ago, Banu was an escaped convict who was held in solitary confinement and under intense surveillance.
"I made a deal with them."
"Did you betray the Benqi Army?"
"Fuck you! Recruit, please be careful what you say to me! Although I am not a great person, I am a veteran who has experienced three wars. Even if I cannot defeat you, I will not betray my own people!"
Banu glared at him.
Datney felt guilty: "What happened before was an accident...I never thought of betraying you."
"Forget it, it's all over. Looking at you as a coward, you don't seem to have the courage."
Banu patted his copper leg and made a clanging sound.
"I got this leg in exchange for teaching them the written and spoken language of the Benqi Army. I also served as a messenger in the officer academy for a while... The Yao people are really fast at learning things."
He spat: "Stop talking nonsense and go and appease those guys first."
The so-called guys are the prisoners of the cavalry in the prisoner of war camp.
It is not easy to communicate with them.
At first, Datney suffered a series of setbacks. No one paid any attention to him, or he was ridiculed.
Later, it was Banu who taught him not to talk to them in public, but to pull them out one by one to chat alone. Otherwise, even if the cavalry wanted to submit in their hearts, they would not openly obey because of the soldiers' stance.
"That's how it all came about."
Banu kicked a stone away: "It is always better to have fewer people die. I hope most of them can join us and return to the Benqi Army in the end."
These words surprised Datney.
The implication is that Banu has determined that the Ben Cavalry Army will definitely be defeated.
"Isn't that obvious? Recruit, look where we are?"
Datney looked around.
Here is a long and narrow promontory, with flat and direct sea on both sides. The promontory spreads all the way to the place where the Kingdom of God of the Ben Cavalry comes in front.
"You still don't understand? It seems like you haven't fought in any battles."
Banu waved a branch and said impatiently: "When the war started, this promontory was quickly occupied by our army. Our army advanced all the way to the hinterland. Now it has lost its position. It means that our army's front line has been pushed back. Understand
Already?"
Datney was puzzled: "But that doesn't mean we lose, does it?"
"The Ben Cavalry Army is good at rushing into formation and attacking. Once forced to be on the defensive, it will be at a complete strategic disadvantage."
Banu told him: "Think about it, when you fight with an enemy, when do you protect your head with your fists?"
"It's not necessarily hopeless."
A cavalry veteran with a bandage on his head joined the discussion: "According to the previous battle situation, we have lost two apostles. In other words, there are still two apostles who are capable of fighting. If we can use Lord Nefeli's magic
, summon the python that surrounds the mountain, and then Lord Lumedis leads the main force of the Ash-End Warriors to break through the defense line, and it is possible to turn the tide of the battle."
"Too difficult."
Someone else said: "The Yao people are at war with us, but there is actually only one "United Army" on the front line, and the main "peacekeeping force" has not moved yet... I was in the second cavalry brigade until I was injured and captured.
Before, more than half of them had been killed in battle, and the rest of the battle was entirely dependent on new recruits for supply. Many soldiers were lost."
"Their wooden monsters haven't been fully dispatched yet. There are also assassins like the one who assassinated Falbert. If there are still a few, the safety of the apostles will also be a problem. Maybe only King Ben can show his divine power."
Twist...but the enemy also has gods."
"Perhaps we can consider a surprise attack...but the death rate will be very high and the risk will be high."
"What about sea operations? Is there any chance?"
"It's too difficult. There are fish-men in the water, and the red-skinned men are very flexible in the water... There is more uncertainty in the sea, and it may even be an area where the Yao people set traps."
…
Those who participated in the discussion were all veterans, and the more they talked, the more silent they became.
Seeing their appearance, Datney truly realized that the Ben cavalry army was indeed in an extremely disadvantageous quagmire. The enemy was like an unstoppable giant beast that had just taken a step forward and ran over them head on.
At this time, a distant horn sounded in the air.
Datney subconsciously turned his head and saw a huge forelimb stepping on the ground, trampling a bush into the soil. There were columnar lines on the forefoot, which were made up of bamboo figures.
Dartney is no stranger to this kind of monster.
A large number of bamboo men can combine into a giant beast. After being traumatized, they can quickly disperse, break into pieces, and flee as a guerrilla, causing the Ben Cavalry Army a huge headache.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the bamboo beast in front of you is so big, it is like a moving bull of meat, with a thick and wide back ridge and a strong torso.
The ground shook slightly with his feet.
Just the mere sight of it passing by made Danit tremble with fear.
Following the armored giant bull, another bamboo beast like a many-legged scorpion followed from behind, and super-large monsters that had never been seen before walked past the prisoner of war camp and pointed directly at the cavalry troops on the front line.
Datney saw that the faces of the soldiers in the prison camp turned pale.
"It's over, it's all over."
"Their main force is finally here, those before were not the strongest."
"You must hold on, Lord Nefeli and Lord Lumedis..."
"Oh, how the hell do you fight..."
Datney raised his eyes and looked ahead.
Bamboo towers were erected on the backs and shoulders of those giant bamboo beasts, and bamboo birds took off from above. They invaded the Benqi army's territory from the air and occupied the airspace.
There is also an endless stream of sky lanterns at the back. They are suspended in the air and use different glass covers to emit various colors of fire, becoming the Yao people's signal buoys in the sky.
Then, neatly arranged strange chariots drove out of the woods.
They have animal heads made of copper or iron, and a large amount of white mist is sprayed out from the head. The iron body is tall and solid, and the towering roof is covered by coarse cloth, so it is difficult to see what is inside. The iron wheels of the chariot roll over the leaves and leaves on the ground.
The mud leaves deep ruts.
This was the first time for Datney to see a chariot that was not driven by an animal.
Accompanying the steel chariot is a group of brown clay warriors. They are tall and calm, looking straight ahead, like a group of emotionless killers.
Datney found the highest position, trying to see clearly what was happening on the distant front line.
Because the distance was too far, he could only see the bamboo beasts wreaking havoc and trampling on the battlefield, the bamboo birds driving away and killing the warbirds in the air, the giant beast cavalry phalanx on the ground and the ranks of gray warriors like a tide.
In rout...
Especially the previous clay figurine army. After they appeared, they were like hot knives cutting through cold oil. No force could stop them wherever they went. The Ben cavalry troops who desperately resisted fell like wheat in front of them.
The chariots finally showed their true colors and roared like thunder.
There are tall and beautiful roses on the car.
The purple roses will emit fireworks, and each shot of artillery fire accompanied by petals will blow the cavalry in an area into pieces. The roses covered with blood streaks will spurt out red light, shooting down all the cavalry around them who are unable to evade.
Datney's body trembled at the sight.
The funeral doctor really didn't exaggerate.
When the Yao people were preparing to end the war, the war was already over.
Among the losing battle lines, only one point is still holding on. There is a big gray snake lingering around there. It is still fighting with the powerful Yao people and has become the last barrier guarding the Kingdom of God.
It was Lady Nefeli, the apostle. She was using magic to block the progress of the Yao people, but the body of the python surrounding the mountain was riddled with holes.
Datney only felt sad and sad.
Because behind Nefeli, the huge cavalry of the Divine Kingdom was rising rapidly into the clouds.
The Ben cavalry army fled.
King Ben abandoned the warriors still fighting here, including her trusted apostle Neferi.
Datney's mood was very complicated.
He lost the opportunity to return to his hometown forever and became a homeless vagrant, just like the other stranded people here.
On the other hand, he was relieved that he would not go back and be treated as a deserter.
