The expeditionary army camp located at the foot of Moyunling Mountain has finally completed its initial assembly half a month after its completion, and most of the troops are stationed in the camp one after another.
After opening the mountain road to Moyun Ridge, the top commander of the expeditionary camp, Marquis Solomon Bowen, began to deploy troops to move closer to Moyun Ridge. In the past half month, the heavy armored infantry regiment has been at the forefront. Now the heavy armored infantry regiment has been at the forefront.
The cavalry finally blew the horn of attack.
Heavy cavalry in heavy armor, each group of eight horses running parallel, the knights are wearing heavy heavy armor, holding knight's lance, every eight heavy knights are connected together with chains, when the eight horses are running in the forest road
At that time, it was like a thick steel city wall. This wall gathered the power of eight horses. When the evil ghost camp was charging in front, the combined power of eight heavily armored knights could overthrow one evil ghost.
However, this eight-horse parallel cable formation also has a fatal flaw, which is that it is extremely inflexible. Even if they encounter danger, it is difficult for these knights to turn their horses' heads and retreat back.
This time, Marquis Solomon Bowen's strategic intention was to send twenty crossbows to the rear of the position, and place these twenty crossbows on a high ridge, trying to completely cover the main battle property in front of them.
Within the range of the crossbow.
The heavy cavalry is in a frontal offensive posture, and the task of the heavy armored infantry regiment is to cooperate with the logistics team to push the crossbow to the top of the high ground and build fortifications on the high ground.
Compared with opening the battlefield forest road a few days ago, this task is much easier, at least you don't have to be at the front to face the evil ghosts rushing out of the mountain forest.
The 4th and 5th Battalions of Baron Sidney jointly carried out this task of transporting bed crossbows.
It had just rained, and although there was no water on the grass on the hillside, the soil under the turf was full of water.
As soon as you step on it, the mud will flow over the leather boots along the turf, and get sticky all over your feet. The mud is mixed with grass blades, and it is difficult to shake off even if you shake it hard. It sticks to your feet.
Every time you take a step forward, you have to work twice as hard as before.
He Boqiang, with his feet covered in mud, followed a bed crossbow.
The coachman in front raised his whip again, but unfortunately the horse pulling the ancient Bo Lai was already showing fatigue. No matter how hard he kicked his four hooves, he could not move forward half a step. The infantry soldiers following behind could only
He was able to surround him again, put his shoulders on the shaft of the cart, lift the bed crossbow with all his strength, and cross this muddy area.
Surdak followed the second team, looking a little absent-minded. He needed to make a choice between going home and getting promoted:
If he returns home immediately after completing his military service, his status as a squad leader will not bring any changes to his future life. He may be an unknown farmer in his life. He may save money to buy a piece of land in the future, but he is still just a farmer.
Famous farmer.
If he chooses to stay and is successfully promoted to the squadron leader of the Sixth Squadron, he will become a knight with a formal identity. In the future, when the plane war here ends and he returns to his hometown, he will complete the transformation from a civilian to a knight.
Become a knight with a small fiefdom.
In the Green Empire, every civilian has a dream of becoming a knight.
Everyone dreams that one day they can pick up the legendary angel sword, kill the evil dragon that stole the princess, and rescue the princess to become a dragon-slaying warrior worshiped by all people. Unfortunately, the dragon family has been away from the human world for hundreds of years, and the evil dragon only likes
Those fairy dragons with colorful wings have no good impressions of the frail princess of the human empire.
So this kind of dream can only be a dream. If you want to show your own value, you can't realize it by slaying the dragon.
But the current plane war is a rare opportunity to realize the value of life.
Since the outbreak of the plane war, the great lords from various parts of the Green Empire have invested nearly seven to eight million private troops. However, there seems to be no sign of victory in this plane war. Far more people died on the battlefield than survived.
Many more have returned to their hometowns. Now every soldier's wish is to come out of this battlefield alive.
Especially for cannon fodder regiments like heavy armored infantry regiments, the battle losses were astonishingly high.
Take the second team as an example. Among the soldiers who joined the army at the same time as Surdak, he is the only one left. If Captain Sam hadn't been taking care of him, even if he had nine lives, he wouldn't be enough to die.
After glancing at He Boqiang, Suldak hesitated to speak.
The team transporting the bed crossbows stopped on the hillside. In the distance, a group of evil spirits were fighting with the heavy cavalry. The heavy knights in black armor were seen charging forward one by one.
The whine of the attack horn came from the distance, and rows of dense arrows were shot out from behind, falling into the evil ghost's camp like raindrops. Although this kind of fine steel arrows did not pose a fatal threat to the evil ghost, it was drilled into the evil ghost's camp.
If it penetrates into their flesh and joints, it will also cause them great pain.
The evil ghosts' team collided heavily with the heavy cavalry. Although they seemed to be evenly matched, in fact these evil ghosts cut into the heavy cavalry's camp and dragged them to the battlefield, preventing the heavy cavalry from penetrating back and forth on the battlefield.
, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the evil spirits...
First, an order came through, and the bed crossbow team was temporarily on standby.
But as soon as the messengers in front left, the messengers in the back immediately arrived and gave instructions from the military headquarters to the officials in the logistics department responsible for escorting the bed crossbows, ordering the bed crossbows here to support the battlefield in front.
So the tarpaulin was quickly pulled off, revealing the greasy ordnance inside.
After Handanar County entered the rainy season, the maintenance of these bed crossbows was much more troublesome than before. Now almost the entire bed crossbows are coated with animal fat, but there are still some places that are constantly rusting. These bed crossbows have been preserved.
The best batch yet.
However, when the gleaming bed crossbows turned around and pointed the giant crossbow arrows at the battlefield, those evil spirits also realized that if these bed crossbows were not suppressed immediately, the advantage they had just established on the battlefield would no longer exist.
On the battlefield, a small team of evil spirits rushed towards this slope.
The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment immediately formed a thick shield wall in front of these crossbows. Amid the hoarse shouts of the crossbow operators, the bowstrings of the crossbows began to slowly open, and giant crossbow arrows shot from the arrow slots one after another.
He poked his head out, revealing a sharp edge.
Surdak and his second team were also part of the shield wall. At this time, he and He Boqiang were crowded side by side.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers around seemed extremely nervous. If their captains hadn't restrained them, they might have fled in all directions.
In contrast, the soldiers of the second team are particularly different. Not only are all the soldiers of the team very calm, but they also have no nervous expressions. Their eyes are fixed on the evil spirits rushing towards them from the front.
Damn, my breathing is actually very smooth.
Augustus and the bearded Kagel tapped the shields in their hands rhythmically. This was a secret signal that only the second team knew. When the evil spirit rushed towards them, Augustus and
The bearded Kagel will rush forward first, and the rest of the team members will retreat half a step, and then focus all their efforts to kill the evil ghost in front of the bearded man first, and then use the power of everyone to kill the evil ghost in front of Augustus.
Kill the ghost.
This fighting method has been practiced several times in the second team, but before that, Suldak and He Boqiang were the ones fighting against the evil spirits.
After Augustus and the bearded Kagel captured the Demon Oryx, they also obtained the 'Blessed Body' and 'Blessed Shield' that were valid for three days. When they took on this mission, the two of them had
The buff effect can last for just over a day, so this battle focuses on Augustus and Big Beard.
Facts have proved that the 'Blessed Body' and 'Blessed Shield' are quite reliable. After a round of crossbow arrows were fired, only five evil ghosts were left that could sprint up the hillside.
Augustus saw that there seemed to be only one evil ghost rushing towards the shield wall of the second team, and it was trying to kill himself. He took out an ax from his waist and took advantage of the evil ghosts to be away from the heavy armored infantry.
When the shield wall was still about twenty meters away, he threw an ax at an evil ghost not far away.
The ax hit the running evil ghost's shoulder just right, successfully attracting the evil ghost's attention...
