Avoiding the main battle area, the second team tried to find the evil ghost team wandering in the forest at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.
Unfortunately, this area has crisscrossed mountains and ravines, and dense trees and forests are closely connected. If you want to pass through such a forest, the warrior in front must use a hatchet to clear the way. Generally, evil spirits rarely enter this dense forest.
Surdak had no choice but to make a temporary decision to lead a small group of soldiers closer to the main battlefield.
The heavy armored infantry regiment opened up a wide forest road on the gentle slope on the south side of Moyun Ridge. In recent days, the heavy cavalry regiment has taken turns to advance forward. The crossbow and catapult battalions were set up on the high ground behind to carry out long-range attacks on the evil ghost camp, giving them a
The Evil Ghost Legion caused a lot of casualties. The Evil Ghost Legion organized a raiding team to try to destroy the bed crossbow position. Unfortunately, the front of the formation was blocked by a heavy cavalry regiment. The flanks of the battlefield were defended in turn by three heavy armored infantry regiments.
.
Recently, the evil ghost army has stepped up its sneak attacks on flanking positions, but the dense forests on both sides are overgrown with bushes, making it only suitable for small groups of evil ghosts to pass through.
After climbing over a hill, we could already see a huge catapult like a pendulum at the highest point of the opposite hillside. Four infantry soldiers led four mules and pulled the giant winch, slowly leveling the nearly ten-meter-long cantilever of the catapult.
After the cantilevers of all catapults were flattened, twenty catapults were loaded with solid stone projectiles with a diameter of more than one meter.
A short horn sound sounded, and the cantilever of the catapult suddenly threw the stone bullet into the sky. The stone bullet was coated with a layer of kerosene. The moment it bounced, it was ignited by the soldiers. When it passed through the air, it left a trail.
Parabolic smoke trajectory.
Twenty stone bombs fell on the battlefield on the other side of the mountain. The view was blocked by the hillside in front. Only by climbing up the hill where the catapults were located could we see the main battlefield.
There were faint roars of evil spirits, the neighing of war horses and the shouts of killing soldiers, which made people feel a little passionate.
The second team followed the sparsely wooded hillside and tried to go around to the main battlefield in front. Unexpectedly, several heavy armored infantry soldiers appeared from behind a thorn bush in front. They had just been hiding under the shade of the thorn bush to enjoy the cool air and were conducting surveillance.
In the forest area in front of us, the soldiers of the second team just emerged from the forest area and fell into the eyes of these heavy armored infantry soldiers.
The group of heavy armored infantry soldiers seemed very excited when they saw a strange team of warriors emerging from the forest.
He asked the soldiers of the second team loudly: "Which legion of infantry soldiers are you from?"
"From the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment." Red Stocking shouted at the top of his lungs.
A burly infantry warrior captain walked out of the thorn bushes. When he heard the red socks say it was the 57th Regiment, the infantry captain asked hesitantly: "Didn't your regiment change its defense?"
Suldak walked up and replied to the infantry captain: "We are on a temporary mission."
The infantry captain raised his golden eyebrows with a friendly smile on his face: "Are you from Halanza too?"
Surdak nodded, pointed at all the soldiers in the second team, and replied with a smile: "These soldiers in my team are all from Halanza City!"
The captain looked at the dense forest and asked without warning: "How is the situation in the forest over there? Have you found any traces of evil spirits?"
"If there are evil spirits, we won't try our luck on the main battlefield..." Surdak was talking when his expression suddenly changed and he stopped talking.
A short horn sound came from the distance, "woo woo woo..."
At this time, the captain immediately jumped up on a nearby boulder, looked in the other direction, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
The heavy armored infantry soldiers hiding in the bushes seemed a little panicked. Some of the soldiers stretched their necks and looked at the direction of the evil spirits from a distance, with frightened expressions on their faces.
The infantry captain shouted: "Get ready to fight!"
The calm voice seemed full of confidence. After hearing the captain's order, the group of soldiers picked up their weapons and calmed down.
The soldiers of the second team looked at Surdak.
The bearded Kagel immediately looked in the direction where the evil spirit appeared, and found that his view was blocked by grass. He quickly stood on the boulder, took only one look, and quickly reported to Suldak:
: "Captain, there are a lot of evil spirits coming this time, probably a squadron."
A full squadron in the Green Empire army usually has sixty people, which can roughly form five twelve-man squads. For the empire's heavy armored infantry warriors, the number of evil spirits reaches sixty, which means that it is necessary to
Only an infantry brigade is capable of fighting it.
In front of this group of evil spirits, an infantry squad had almost no chance to resist.
He Boqiang did not expect that just as he approached the battlefield, he would encounter evil spirits sneaking into the catapult camp, and he knew that with Suldak's character, he would never leave alone with the second team of soldiers at this time.
.
Surdak looked firmly at the evil spirits emerging from the grass, and waved to the soldiers of the second team without looking back. All the soldiers immediately gathered around him, holding shields to face them.
These evil spirits formed a formation, and several warriors carrying alloy bows, including Red Socks and Big Beard, had already put stainless steel arrows on the bowstrings.
The evil ghosts in the front row have already revealed their heads on the grassy meadow. They are running forward side by side, carrying large saw-tooth axes, at a very fast speed.
He Boqiang has always wanted to know how the bearded Kagel was able to determine the approximate number of these evil ghosts just by looking at them.
In the blink of an eye, these evil spirits had already crossed the large grassland and rushed directly towards the hills.
Obviously, their target is the catapult position on the hill. However, if they want to charge towards the hillside, they must first eliminate the squad of heavy armored infantry soldiers stationed here. The evil ghost will not let these infantry soldiers behind them, causing
With a flanking attack from both sides, seeing two small groups of imperial infantry soldiers here, they immediately detached a team of evil ghosts to take a detour and rush over to deal with the infantry soldiers here.
The soldiers of the second team looked at each other, a little confused as to where these evil ghosts came from. They actually thought that if a small team of evil ghosts rushed here, they would be sure of victory.
The large group of evil spirits didn't even look this way and rushed straight up the hill.
The first round of arrows has been fired. Because no one gave the order to fire the volley, the accuracy of these steel arrows is limited. For long-distance throws, archery skills cannot make up for the accuracy.
Suldak led the second team of thirteen soldiers to stand in a row with the infantry soldiers stationed here. He Boqiang understood that Suldak deliberately wanted to protect these infantry soldiers as much as possible, but faced with this small group of evil
Damn it, the soldiers of the second team must also be a little bit overwhelmed.
Seeing that the evil ghost was about to rush forward, Surdak gave orders to the soldiers of the second team:
"Defensive stance, shield raised!"
The infantry captain was a little surprised when he saw that Surdak did not evacuate immediately, but he still warned him at this time: "You should retreat to the hill quickly. They may intercept and kill you with some evil spirits. If it is too late, it will be too late."
.”
He turned around and encouraged his soldiers loudly:
"Everyone, if you hold on, you will win. The heavy cavalry will be able to support you in less than a quarter of an hour. We must delay here for a while. This is our position."
Although the soldiers were a little scared, seeing their captain standing at the front, they could only muster up the courage to raise their shields beside the captain to form a shield wall.
Surdak did not follow the other party's instructions and evacuate the position. Instead, he raised the dwarf chain shield in his hand and said righteously to the infantry captain: "My soldiers all want to help here.
These evil ghosts are also our common enemies, and hunting them down is also our mission!"
Every time this time comes, He Boqiang is always unable to complain. Suldak is usually good at everything, but he likes to make decisions for others at critical moments, which is a bit bad.
Shouldn't he ask the other soldiers in the team at this time? Then he looked at the other soldiers in the team, and he knew very well that most of the questions would be in vain. These blind and arrogant guys are sometimes quite capable.
Hero complex.
"My name is Bart Barry, what's your name? I'm determined to be your friend." The captain of the other team stretched out his fist to Suldak...
Surdak punched it hard and said in a loud voice: "Captain Batbari, please call me Surdak, the second squad of the fourth brigade of our 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment..."
