Chapter 90 The fortress that must be captured
"Your Excellency Captain, are you saying that there is a powerful mysterious force hidden in our team?"
After hearing what Baron Yes said, Guards Knight Kara was stunned for a moment, and then a teasing look appeared on her pretty face.
While looking in the direction of Lei Xiao, he chuckled and said, "Don't be kidding me. Are you referring to a temporary squadron composed of these wounded soldiers?"
"This..." Baron Yes, who was riding a tall horse, laughed a few times. Apparently he didn't think that these remnants of soldiers who had retreated from the front line would have much effect on the battle situation.
"Your Excellency Captain, don't think too much. As long as I and my cavalry are here, no enemy can stop us."
Carla smiled confidently, raised her riding whip, and began to gallop towards the heavy knights who were opening the way ahead.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.
"As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated. This woman is so arrogant on the battlefield. I'm afraid it won't be long before she hits a wall or suffers a lot."
Sure enough, just as Lei Xiao expected.
We marched among the rugged hills for more than 20 minutes, facing countless vultures hovering on the battlefield.
An unexpected situation happened again.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a giant earthen fortress about five meters high.
On top of the fortress, we saw longing figures and flaming flags fluttering, which undoubtedly showed that it was the opponent Leng Yanjun who was stationed inside.
Under the bright sunshine, this fortress is located between two lush mountains.
Although there is still a large gap on both sides, if you try to pass under the fortress, you may immediately become a living target for the soldiers on the high wall.
What's even more striking is that around this fortress, there are a large number of corpses of Holy Night Army soldiers scattered everywhere.
It seemed that at least several squadrons of Holy Night infantry who had attempted to capture the fortress had died under the high wall.
"Why is there a fortress here?!"
This scene made Kara, who was proud just now, slightly open her red lips, and she was immediately stunned on the spot, obviously dumbfounded.
No matter how powerful her cavalry was, they would not be able to break through such a strong fortress.
"It's the art of fortification."
Baron Yes drove his horse forward and said with furrowed brows: "To be able to build such a huge earthen fortress in such a short period of time, I'm afraid there must be at least one... no, two third-level earthen fortresses among them. A strong magician is in charge!”
"Fortification skills? There are two condescending third-level magic experts?"
Hearing the sound, the pretty face of the guard female knight Kara could not help but reveal a look of solemnity.
As a knight with excellent equestrian skills, siege warfare is naturally the type of attack she is least good at.
It is conceivable that in this situation, even if the entire brigade is gathered together, it may be difficult to take any advantage in the opponent's hands.
Just when the two of them were hesitating, a strange messenger with a special blue feather on his helmet came galloping from behind on a galloping horse, carrying a trail of dust.
"Your Excellency Captain Yes, the headquarters orders you to capture this fortress immediately and clear out all enemy troops in this area!"
After the messenger finished speaking, without waiting for Baron Yes' response, he drove away without looking back.
At the same time, Lei Xiao, who was on the left wing of the Chinese army, quickly understood the current situation under Chaoyan's soft explanation and the perception of Huzhang.
"Lord, in the fortress ahead, there are two third-level magic powerhouses, half of which are first-level and second-level magic powerhouses. There are about a hundred people in total. It seems that this is a special cold flame. Military Magic Squadron"
With his eyes slightly closed, Huzhang sensed: "In addition, my subordinates also discovered abnormal magic fluctuations on the fortress. It seems that the other party has something hidden."
"Abnormal magic fluctuations? Senior Knotweed, can you tell me in detail?"
Chao Yan, whose perception was obviously not as good as the knotweed, could not help but show doubts and whispered softly.
At this moment, the orange command flag was lit again at the Chinese Army's position not far away, which was a signal for the squadron leaders to gather for a meeting.
Lei Xiao followed the other squadron leaders and saw Baron Yes, who had dismounted, saying with a serious face: "I believe you have also seen that the fortress not far away is the target that we must conquer."< br>
The female knight Carade on the side frowned and added: "Judging from the aura, the size of the opponent should be between one magic squadron and two magic squadrons."
"From this, in addition to the temporary squadron led by Captain Chensha, who will be responsible for the security of the left and right wings and rear of the Chinese army..."
Nodding to Carla, Baron Yes continued: "All the cavalry, including the security squadron, will be commanded by Deputy Captain Carla to attack the city, while I will lead the three magic squadrons of the Chinese army to provide support below the city. ”
"I have the order!" All the squadron leaders with solemn expressions said in unison.
"Your Majesty Captain, may I ask if my squadron can also participate in the siege?" After hesitating for a moment, Lei Xiao touched his nose and asked again.
If the cavalry dismounts and attacks the city, this unit will definitely suffer heavy losses, which will be detrimental to their subsequent actions.
Just the combat power of the 50 second-level magicians on the opponent's city wall is obviously much higher than the three magic squadrons composed of only a small number of second-level magicians on our side.
“Captain Chensha, I think it’s better to waive it.”
Before Baron Yes could speak, the female knight Kara on the side crossed her arms across her chest and interrupted: "You have been fighting all night, so you should be responsible for the easiest security work."
Although the other party's words were very beautiful, Lei Xiao could still clearly hear a hint of contempt and disdain in them.
At the same time, the other squadron leaders also had more or less sneers on their lips, obviously thinking that Lei Xiao wanted to take credit from them.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly and said nothing.
If this is the case, then the only choice is to make the other party suffer some pain first.
It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to find out more about what my opponent is hiding.
Just like that, after all the knights dismounted.
Kara then took a heavy cavalry squadron, three light cavalry squadrons, and a security squadron.
First, within a safe area, we collected some ladders left by dead soldiers during the siege.
Immediately afterwards, the 500-strong siege force began to march toward the fortress in a mighty manner.
The three squadrons of magicians led by Baron Yes followed closely behind.
Among the team, there were only magicians wearing the Kingdom's blue standard robes. The Kingdom's standard staffs held tightly in their hands were all shining with lights of various colors.
It seems that he is ready to launch spells at the fortress at any time.
As for the temporary squadron commanded by Lei Xiao, it is located at the rear of the Chinese army together with the treatment squadron. It can undoubtedly be said that it is in the safest zone.
Not long after marching, Chao Yan, who had just returned to the squadron and was covered in an invisibility cloak, immediately came to Lei Xiao's side and whispered: "Lord, my subordinates know what the opponent's hidden hand is. "(End of Chapter)
