Chapter348 The first confrontation between the Emerald Territory and the Heidi people
More than a hundred kilometers southeast of Xuelai Fortress, there stands a small castle that Noxus built in nearly ten years.
Behind the city wall of Northenburg, Alice, who was observing the Heidi people with her head curled up, frowned. Seeing that the woman's expression was a little strange, Kled felt a little anxious. He couldn't see it because he was too short.
There are things outside the city wall, so the situation can only be judged from the woman's expression.
The long-term battlefield life has taught the violent yordles a little more patience. During the days of fighting side by side, Kled had already placed his unquestioning trust in women.
After counting several times through telescopes, judging from the fur tents alone, there were as many as 30,000 Heidi people chasing this time. However, recalling the experience of previous night attacks, it was impossible for the Heidi people to defeat them in a short period of time.
He mobilized so many troops to retaliate against himself so quickly, and it was even more impossible to deploy half of the troops that besieged Xue Lai Fortress to pursue and intercept them. Supply alone was a big problem, and there was definitely no way to fight a protracted war.
"Alice, what exactly is going on?"
Seeing that the woman's expression gradually calmed down, Kled, who was carrying the battle ax, asked.
"I suspect that the Heidi people are spreading suspicion in the old city. There shouldn't be so many Heidi people outside the city."
"If you ask me, those bastards who smell like fish must be afraid of us."
Hearing what Alice said, Kled grinned, his one eye shining with a cold and ruthless light.
"Whether it's because of old suspicions or not, I'll know as long as I lead the cavalry out of the city and kill them once."
As he spoke, Kled was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Alice. The yordle was a little confused.
"Don't worry, we can test it with magic first."
Within ten minutes, a bird condensed from magic elements flew from Northenburg to the Heidi camp. However, before anything could be truly detected, a few scattered magic arrows hit the bird accurately.
The ground was broken, causing the mage who used detection magic to shake his head helplessly.
The magic used by the Heidi is completely different from the orthodox white magic and the black magic of the Black Rose on the continent of Valoran. The unique special magic system allows any Heidi with magical talent to cast terrifying magic light arrows or missiles.
A similar energy body, except for energy attacks, Heidi's magic is far inferior to runes or arcane magic in terms of convenience, but it is more than enough to kill people on the battlefield and poses a great threat to ordinary people.
This is also the main reason why Alice is unwilling to fight face to face with the Heidi people.
If we must fight head-on, we must not give the Heidi people a chance to breathe. They must be wiped out at once.
"These untrustworthy fishermen will definitely not let us easily obtain their information. Alice, are we just going to be surrounded by them and do nothing?"
"No rush, no rush, wait until dawn before making a judgment. Don't attack rashly when the enemy's strength is unknown. Even if we face 30,000 Heidi people with 5,000 head-on, we will not lose too much with the elite level of our Jade Army."
It's ugly. If we get caught in an ambush, we will lose our troops and generals, which will greatly reduce our strength.
At worst, we can set up our positions tomorrow morning and have a fair and square fight with the Heidi people."
In the end, Alice, who was vigilant, still did not agree to Kled's idea of going out to kill the city. The ten thousand people stationed in Northenberg seemed to be a lot, but in fact, the elite army belonging to the Emerald Territory was only more than five thousand people. The other five thousand people were
They were temporary recruits recruited in Noxus, and their combat prowess was worrisome.
Under the leadership of the veterans, they could condescendingly throw a few pieces of wood and rocks at the city wall, and it would be a smooth battle. But if it were really put on the battlefield, the slightest slightest sign of disadvantage would turn into a huge rout.
Once the bridgehead of Northenburg is lost, it will be difficult for Noxus to contain the Heidi people's southward offensive, and there is no way to cut off the Heidi people's supply lines. By then, the Emerald Leader's reinforcements heading north will most likely be blocked in Noxus.
Senbao watched helplessly as the entire army in Xuelai Fortress was annihilated. This was a major strategic mistake. Alice had been immersed in the battlefield for more than ten years. She would not allow herself to make such a mistake. Compared to Qi Bing,
She prefers to use her power to overwhelm others in an upright and upright manner, which is the confidence that Jade Collar gives her.
Containing the armies of the Heidi and Freljord is not her main task. Her main task is to defend Northenburg. This is the reinforcement to rescue the defenders of Snow Lai Fortress and contain the Heidi and Freljord.
She knew this was a key point for the Germans to move south. Besides, if the Heidi people wanted to fight, she wouldn't mind a good fight.
…
"She really wasn't fooled. According to the plan we made, Horace, it's up to you here. You must drag Northenburg's army for ten days. After ten days, you can retreat."
"clear."
Under Northenburg, Hattie General Mosley, who had already laid an ambush of 40,000 troops, saw that the Noxians in Northenburg did not act rashly, so he directly changed his order and allowed 10,000 people to start in the camp.
After setting up magic traps, he took another 30,000 people and carried dry food for half a month, quietly bypassed Northenburg and went directly south, heading towards Northcastle Castle at the northern foot of the Gorel Mountains.
No one would have thought that the Heidi people, who openly built the plank road but secretly maintained their positions, would directly bypass Northenburg and Snowfortress and rush directly to the hinterland of Noxus, which was empty of troops.
At dawn the next day, the gate of Northenburg slowly opened. Under Alice's arrangement, 4,000 Emerald Territory elite troops and 4,000 Noxian recruits were divided into six phalanxes and two reserve phalanxes.
, with veterans and new recruits crossing each other, arranged in two layers and slowly spread out, stretching for more than ten miles.
Two groups of Noxian Black Iron Guard lance and shield infantry and the cavalry commanded by Kled formed the two wings. In addition to the other two groups of Noxian Black Iron Guard lance and shield infantry, there were also long-range troops armed with crossbows and longbows interspersed in the middle.
Infantry and Noxian recruits armed with long spears and short bows, and twenty Black Rose military mages are distributed everywhere, ready to summon defensive barriers to resist the magical attacks of the Heidi people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the most central position, Alice placed the only three Immortal Shield Bows, with the Dark Blood Crossbow Guards and the Noxian Black Guards guarding them.
On both sides, it serves as the decisive trump card to determine the outcome of the battlefield.
As the heavy horn bugle of Noxus echoed on the battlefield, the Noxian legion began to move forward slowly. Unlike the uneasy recruits who came out of the battle, the recruits stationed on the city wall were somewhat expectant.
I wish I was the one standing among the legion at this moment.
It's just that the war is far more cruel than people imagine.
Just as they were within six miles, thousands of white energy light arrows flew out of the Heidi camp without any warning, approaching the Noxian phalanx with a roar.
The new spearman Austin looked up at the countless magic arrows with cold hands and feet. He felt that his legs were too weak and he could not stand. His palms were sweating. He instinctively wanted to turn around and run away, but there was a sound coming from behind and on both sides.
A powerful push came, forcing him to move straight forward in the recruit phalanx, getting closer and closer to the terrifying magic light arrow.
Only then did he realize that when he entered the battlefield, his life no longer belonged to him. If he wanted to survive, he could only continue to move forward and entrust the hope of life and death to his generals and comrades-in-arms.
"Buzz!"
A continuous arc-shaped magic shield opened over the military formation. As the flag of the Chinese army was waving, the trumpet sound disappeared, and the army stopped moving instantly. The emerald spear-leader and shield soldiers at the front of the array were at a forty-five degree angle.
The horns held up an iron shield, providing shelter for the panicked recruits.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Most of the light arrows were intercepted in mid-air by the magic shield. At the moment when the magic energy collided, the two incompatible magical energies erupted into terrifying energy fluctuations. The crackling sound was endless, although the shield continued to ripple.
but has never been defeated,
A very small part of the light arrows hit the blind spot where the shield could not stop. The fine iron shield was exploded with cracks by the light arrows. The light arrows that hit the human body were directly penetrated by the armor, leaving a bloody hole. He was wearing leather armor.
The bodies of the new recruits were directly blown apart and reduced to stumps on the ground.
In just one wave of attacks, the army suffered more than a hundred casualties, but he didn't even know how many heads the Heidi had.
Before Austin, who was protected by the magic shield, had time to rejoice, the second wave of light arrow attacks struck again. A recruit who had witnessed several of his companions turned into minced meat began to scream in fear, desperately
He pushed the people behind him and tried to escape. After knocking down a few people, he was pierced by a sharp sword in the chest, which made the other recruits who were about to move a little more rational.
He lowered his head and glanced at his chest, which was beginning to ooze blood. The fear in the recruit's eyes gradually disappeared. He raised his head, with a bit of doubt and resentment on his face.
Just a few nights ago, he thought this veteran with whom he was drunk was his best friend and most trustworthy supporter, but today he killed him without mercy.
"Behead those who retreat! Stabilize the front! Behead those who retreat! Stabilize the front!"
Alice's murderous voice came from the position of the central army, which made the veteran feel less guilty. There was no room for any personal feelings in the battle formation of swords and swords.
The second wave of light arrows fell, taking away the lives of dozens more soldiers, and even the magic shield had a few obvious cracks.
Alice suppressed her anger and issued orders to the soldiers controlling the Immortal Shield Bow.
"Those fucking bastards, Liede! Change to explosive crossbow arrows and let them have a taste of our power!"
"clear!"
Lieder, who had been hiding behind the shield-bow magic steel protective armor, finally stood up and issued an order at the top of his lungs.
"Shield Archer obeys orders! Switch to explosive crossbows! The target is the enemy camp! Prepare to shoot!"
The soldiers took down several "bloated" crossbows from the carriage carrying the crossbows.
The clay pot-shaped crossbow arrows are different from the magic steel crossbows used for sieges. The explosive crossbow arrows are anti-personnel weapons made of alchemical magic bombs as the main material. They have the effect of blooming on the ground and sending people to rest.
"emission!"
After giving the order, the manipulator wielding the wooden hammer slammed down hard on the tight hammer trigger. The life-devouring magic light arrow was still vivid in his mind, and the hammer seemed to hit the Heidi's head.
The bow string was released, and the huge crossbow, which was as thick as an adult's waist, flew with more than a hundred kilograms of alchemical bombs amidst the whistling sound to the location where the light arrows were flying from six miles away. The maximum throw range of the Immortal Shield Bow can reach three thousand. Five hundred meters, perfect for dealing with the Heidi people hiding in the camp at this moment...
"Boom!!!" "Boom!!!" "Boom!!!"
Three huge roars came from a thousand meters away, and the soaring firelight made the recruits in the Noxian army let out a few more small cheers like venting. The next second, hundreds of guns flew from the distance again. The light arrows stopped the cheers, but compared with the previous rain of arrows, the light arrows this time seemed a little too sparse.
Many soldiers believe that the magic of the Heidi people has been exhausted.
"General Alice, the enemy's magic has been exhausted. Do you want to issue a charge order?"
Alice shook her head at the flag bearer and said in a deep voice.
"Continue to advance in a defensive formation! The shield archers continue to suppress attacks! Don't be afraid of wasting crossbows!"
The Noxian bugle sounded again, and this time, the Noxians slowly advanced against the magic light arrow.
…
"What kind of alchemical weapon is this?"
The terrible alchemy bomb exploded the camp into a sea of fire like a divine punishment. The most terrifying thing about the flying crossbow was that after the first explosion, the crossbow arrows would form a secondary explosion in the air, with a range of 15 meters. It was powerful. The fire element shock wave turned hundreds of Heidi wizards in dense formations into burning people.
Even if the order to disperse the formation was issued, the crowded camp did not have enough space for the Heidi mages to disperse for a while. In addition, the explosive crossbows did not stop for a moment, and they were harvesting ruthlessly like messengers from the underworld. The elements of life, bursting chaos, and even destroyed many magic traps that were originally arranged, which made Horace finally realize how difficult his enemy was to deal with.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wailing sound in his ears made Horace a little irritable, and the hot breath was accompanied by thick smoke.
Horace had long heard that the mixed mage army in the Emerald Territory was very difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that the magic arrow rain he carefully arranged would not be able to cause effective damage to the Noxians. At this moment, he could only use it before his magic power was completely exhausted. Possibly another unexpected surprise attack.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Horace no longer hesitated and asked Master Heidi, who had deliberately held back just now, to release the last bit of magic. He believed that as long as the Noxians suffered an effective magic blow, the low morale would be reduced.
It was enough to completely collapse the Noxians.
And his mages only need to rest for one day to fully recover the consumed mana.
In an instant, thousands more magic light arrows flew towards the Noxian military formation.
He raised the magic mirror and looked thousands of meters away, only to see that his own light arrow was blocked by the Noxians again. The real damage caused was very little. The Heidi people may not have died in the sea of fire and explosion.
many.
Putting down the magic mirror, Horace looked extremely ugly.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The wind helped the fire, and the smoke became bigger and bigger, but Alice could also see Chuochao's figure beginning to retreat in panic. She put down her telescope, and the female general's eyes were as cold as frost: "The enemy is running away! Order: Two Wings of Cavalry
Bypass the enemy camp, outflank it from both sides, and immediately launch a charge! The infantry shield formation will follow closely! The crossbowmen will fire freely to kill the enemy! Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy!"
"Woooooooo~~~"
Klebe, who was on the right wing, didn't learn much, but he learned a lot about flags and war trumpets.
Seeing that the Chinese army issued an order for the cavalry to outflank and charge, Kled excitedly patted the dragon lizard Skaar's butt and raised his big axe.
At this moment, even the timid Skaar was full of courage.
The sharp and ferocious fangs rubbed against each other, and Kled roared.
"Cavalry General Kled is here! Knights of Noxus! Charge with me! Kill all these cowardly bastards!!! Alys said, don't take any prisoners! Don't take any prisoners!!! Kill them all!
!!Kill them all!!!”
Behind Kled whizzing past, two hundred Noxian riders wearing leather armor with spears at their sides rushed into the distance in a cone formation.
