Chapter 1741 Counterattack
Bai Shuang goes up to the city, and a new day of war is about to begin. The 'pirates' at the foot of the mountain are like a group of hungry strong men waiting for a meal, and they can't wait to bring Bai Shuang up to the city. Swallow it like a delicious piece of cake.
In a short period of time, there was an endless stream of scouts traveling to and from Baishuang City. A new piece of enemy movement was sent to Jean Recher almost every two or three minutes. This country, which is in the midst of four wars and surrounded by powerful countries, has finally exerted all its last energy to the extreme. Either life or death; either existence or death.
An airship slowly flew into the sky, with large patches on the outside of the airship. This was just found in a civilian's house, and it was immediately requisitioned by the army to observe and monitor the movements of enemy 'pirates'. The use of balloons or airships as reconnaissance methods has a long history. They can usually rise to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, which is a height that many flying monsters cannot reach.
But this method is not practical. Airships can fly very high, but their targets are also larger and their speeds are slower. There are many ways to attack airships, not to mention dragons. Therefore, this kind of reconnaissance technique in war is not safe, and few countries do it now. However, Baishuang Shangcheng was at a time when the country was in ruins and the family was in ruins, so all available means were used.
Jean Recher was worried about the movements of the Hushan Army. In order to cover the actions of the Hushan Army, he had sent two troops out of the city to attract the reconnaissance eyes of the 'pirates'. His subordinates believed that the Hushan Army's surprise attack at night had a better chance of success. But he didn't think so. On the one hand, it was hard to say whether they could survive the day. On the other hand, the Hushan Army was operating on the steep mountain wall at night, so it was bound to use light for illumination, which made it easier to be discovered by the enemy's aerial reconnaissance.
What Jean Recher is most concerned about right now is whether the protective shield of the upper city of Hoarfrost can withstand the fierce enemy attack. Although Her Majesty the Queen has promised him safety, he is still worried. . He found the queen and wanted to find out everything. Even if it was wrong to inquire about the secrets of the royal family, he still had to do it.
The Queen of Midgard is talking to the people of the Magic Guild, and the fourth black dragon is also there. The Queen saw Rachel coming over with a lot of worries, and without waiting for him to speak, she said, "I know what you want to say. Fourth Black Dragon, please come back to the palace with me." She turned to Debbie and others from the Magic Guild and said : "I will trouble you about the magic tower. I will ask the political officer to try his best to provide you with all the resources you need, and at the same time, I will ask General Reich to provide you with the necessary magic manpower."
Magic The guild and others nodded and left.
The main hall of the Royal Palace in Midgard is not very big, and the decoration is quite exquisite. It is a little less gorgeous and a little more solemn and solemn. The purple patterned carpet was laid down from the stone steps under the throne. The stone steps were not high. The Queen of Midgard stopped in front of the stone steps. She looked back at the fourth black dragon and Rachel, and said to the people who had been accompanying her. The female general of the Second Army of the King's Banner Guard and the close female guard beside her said, "You guys go down first. I have something to talk to the general and Mr. Black Dragon."
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, why do you want us to come to the palace?" Lei Qie was a little anxious. He knew that the queen must have something important to explain when she asked him to come, but he still hoped to hurry up. Don't grind. He didn't dare to be careless about the situation outside, even if he hadn't had a good rest for dozens of hours.
The Queen of Midgart said: "There are some things I can only say to you here. In front of my ancestors."
Behind the throne of the palace, is the creation of Midgart There are tall stone statues of two generations of kings of the country. They are like the capstone pillars of the palace, overlooking the country's successive kings and ministers. The Queen of Midgard turned around, fell to the ground, knelt under the throne of the king's chair, and said, "Do you know why White Frost City is called White Frost City?" Of course, she was talking to Rachel and the fourth black dragon.
Leiche knows a saying that the entire Baishuang City is built of white stone, which looks like the white heads on the mountain and the hoar frost on the peak, hence its name. But since His Majesty said so, there is obviously another reason. He also knelt down on one knee.
The Queen of Midgard knelt down in front of the throne and said: "Geographers have always found it strange that although the peaks on both sides of Hoarfrost City are higher, they have not reached the height where the tops will be covered with snow, but the tops of the mountains are still covered with snow. Never retreat all year round." After bowing to her ancestors, the queen stood up and turned back to them again: " In addition to the magical shield on the surface, White Frost City also has a stronger frost shield that can protect the capital from damage. Therefore, even if the enemy repeats yesterday's flood, the royal city will still have one more layer of protection."
"It turns out. That's it." Lei Qie calmed down and said, "When I retreated from the lower city yesterday, I saw the damage suffered by the lower city. I have a preliminary estimate. With two layers of protective shields, Shangcheng will definitely be able to withstand yesterday's blow!" The most worrying thing was temporarily resolved, and Lei Qie felt much better: "Why didn't your Majesty say this earlier? Otherwise, the stalemate over whether to evacuate would not have lasted so long.”
Midgard. The queen looked solemn, but did not answer Rachel's question. She clapped her hands and called loudly: "Ximani."
Ximani is His Majesty's most trusted attendant. She walked out of the side hall next to her. , still holding something in his hand: "Your Majesty."
"Bring the thing."
Himani handed the two square boxes, one long and one short, into His Majesty's hands.
The queen opened the long box, and a pair of swords with interlocking handles lay inside: "General Reich, I will hand over this pair of swords to you today, Midgard. Whether the empire can be saved depends on your command and the black dragon Sir, come and take the sword."
Giving a sword in a crisis is a great trust. Lei Qie did not dare to be rude. He stepped forward carefully, picked up the sword box with both hands, and saw the weapon inside. At this time, I couldn’t help but be surprised: “It’s bipolar! This... with my strength, how dare I accept such a sword? This is a royal treasure, which has always been held by successive kings of our country."
The queen sighed helplessly: "You know my strength. And you are from Midgard General, it is the greatest waste if I hold them. The best choice is to use them for their proper function. Now, it is not the time to consider whether it is a sword for the king."
"Yes. .”
The queen picked up another small box and said to the fourth black dragon: "Mr. Black Dragon, I called you to the palace today and let you listen to so many boring words. Take it as my expression of trust in you. I sincerely hope you can Help me save this country."
"Your Majesty, you are forcing me to work for you." The fourth black dragon looked at the box in her hand with curiosity. Said: "As I said, this war is not hopeless at all. More accidents will create more possibilities for comebacks. As long as there is a chance of winning, I am willing to participate. What do you have in your hand? ? New comeback capital? "
The small box in the Queen's hand is very delicate and tight, like ivory white jade, and the patterns on it are more exquisite than those of Sheng Shuangji. She opened the small box and found a small, colorful, opaque bottle inside. However, the moment the box was opened, the entire palace interior was filled with five-color magical aura.
"What an exquisite treasure." The fourth black dragon's eyes lit up: "This is a sealed bottle!" He saw the function of this palm-sized small colorful bottle at a glance.
The Queen said: "There is a terrible guy sealed in this vial. Mr. Black Dragon, I will leave this vial to you for safekeeping now. If the war ends safely, please be sure to return him to me." If the war situation becomes unfavorable, please take this bottle to the enemy and smash it.”
"Bring the bottle to the enemy's formation and smash it?" The fourth black dragon said: "This means that even you can't control the thing sealed in the bottle?"
"Yes." The queen nodded and affirmed: "The whole city, only You have the strength to go deep into the enemy's army and break it into pieces, so please make a decision at the right time. I trust your judgment of the battle situation."
The fourth black dragon took the colored bottle and took it instantly. Feel the powerful magic contained above. A guy who can seal with such great power must be terrifying. It's just that he had heard of bipolar in the treasure house, but he had never heard of such a small colorful bottle.
The sound of a catapult's cannon landing was heard outside the palace, and then a bright pink light lit up outside. It was the light that bloomed when the beam of the magic shield of Hoarfrost City rose into the sky and opened. Lei Qie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the enemy has attacked, I'm going down to take command."
"Go, I'm begging you."
After coming out of the palace, he ran and jumped along the stone steps going down the mountain, and within a few minutes he had reached the residential area below. The fourth black dragon broke out of the magic shield and flew higher into the sky to summon the dark dragon. The seriously injured Dark Dragon was still so majestic and terrifying. Its appearance somewhat boosted the morale of the soldiers standing below. At least their strongest support was still there. In the city, the assassin Ben was wearing the uniform of a Midgard soldier, pretending to be injured and dragging his "injured leg" around the residential area. She glanced at the giant dragon flying in the sky and continued to move forward with her head lowered. She found a reliable and secluded high ground, above the residential area and below the palace, on the outer wall of a tall cathedral. There are many shrines with carved stone statues on the outer walls of the church, which are just big enough for one person. She nestled inside and used the telescope she picked up to carefully observe the mobilization and distribution of military forces below the city. She took out a small piece of narcotic stone from her clothes and placed it on the ground. She used a magic stone pen to draw a lunar map with reference to the drawings. The array of memories.
The battle has begun, and the magic rock thousand crack cannons in the distance are firing continuously. The Midgard troops formed formations above and below the city, unable to hold out. They only used the magic rock cannons on the city wall to carry out limited counterattacks. Although they could only hit the not-so-wide mountain road, they could scare off the entire group. Forward infantry coming for reconnaissance.
In Wang Quan's army, the staff officer received the information from Ben Tongyi: "Marshal, Ben provided a rough defense map of the enemy's forces in Baishuang Upper City. The information she passed showed that Midgard People still intend to stick to it."
"Yes." Fried just responded.
The Holy Armor Beric held the blazing golden sword with both hands and said with furrowed eyebrows: "After yesterday's disaster, I thought that their fighting spirit would completely collapse, and Baishuang Upper City could be easily captured. I didn't expect them to The belief is stronger than imagined. We sent people to secretly contact the bribed officials and promised that Jean Recher and their queen would abandon the city and flee south. However, the actual result was contrary to what he promised. It seems that the official's mood in advocating retreat at the war meeting was not the same. It works.”
Fried got up from behind the table and walked to the sand table: "Don't worry, this will have no impact on our war."
"There was a chance that a few thousand crack cannons could scare them away. situation, now we have to spend more time On the siege." Beckley touched his slender golden eyebrows with a finger, and then said: "Has the Marshal decided which method to use for the next siege?"
"Strong attack is not good? , it wasn’t my first choice.”
“But the planned attack schedule was also drawn up by the marshal himself. A way to easily defeat Bai Shuang on the city without losing our soldiers... Well, there are still many options, the dragon breaks City, array attack, or use liquid source limiter? "
Fried heard the frivolity in his tone, looked at him and said: "I know you are very dissatisfied with the appointment of me as Marshal of the First Army, and you have always been dissatisfied with your mouth and heart, but no matter what, everything we do is It's for a common goal. I hope there won't be any unpleasantness in the position of marshal."
"Yes, I understand." Berwick put away his provocative tone.
Fried was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "What do you think of the quality of the soldiers we lead?"
"It's already very good. Being able to execute orders completely is the most important thing. They can do it. But..." Berwick hesitated.
“But what?”
"It seems there is something missing."
Fried added: "They lack a real bloody battle."
Berrick heard the meaning of his words: "Do you want to Let them attack hard? But Marshal, you said just now that this is not your first choice and the method we can use. There are still many, and now is not the time for a bloody battle."
"Yes, now is not the time for a bloody battle. As long as our siege troops continue to attack, the shield of Baishuang City will be as strong as theirs. I won't be able to hold on anymore." Fried looked away and heard someone walking quickly outside the tent.
As soon as the person came in, Berwick immediately asked: "What's going on?"
The person who came in reported: "The enemy's movement was detected. The enemy sent two troops out of the main gate. After joining the two cavalry that had left the city before, they were moving along the mountain in the direction of our army. They planned to launch a counterattack. ”
Berry Keshi smiled and said: "Oh, this surprises me. How dare they have the courage to launch a counterattack? I thought they were scared out of their wits and huddled in the city and did not dare to come out."
Free De's eyes flashed and he warned: "Deputy Marshal, don't be careless. It would be better to launch a counterattack at this time than to wait for death in the city."
"But with their current strength and morale, how can they defeat us?" Berwick said: "Originally I planned to take it with me in the afternoon People went to Baishuang City to call for formation, but they came on their own."
"Because of this, there must be an ulterior motive here." Fried thought slightly and said, "They are doing this. The tactics of attacking instead of defending.”
Beric was amused after hearing this: "Even if the fourth black dragon comes to fight again, I can force him back. His body can't bear such frequent unblocking. With offense instead of defense, what advantage do they have to attack us?" ?”
Fried glanced at him and said: “Artillery Corps, Red Corner Highlands on the map.”
Bei. Rick's face suddenly changed, and he immediately understood: "They are feigning a frontal attack to attract our attention." After saying that, he grabbed the tent and came out, using the light array to summon the Holy Flame Golden Dragon, and at the same time shouted to the adjutant who followed him: " Tell Calasias immediately and ask him to immediately dispatch an army to reinforce the Red Horn Highlands." He jumped on the back of the golden dragon and flew away.
Fried watched Beric leave, walked out of the tent calmly, and said to himself: "I'm afraid their purpose is more than that. The two people who unexpectedly appeared yesterday may be a trouble. Personal Guards Officer."
"Faradin obeys the order." The personal guard Faradin took a few steps closer and followed the marshal, bowing his head.
"I have something I want you to do..."
"Yes."
