Chapter 2277 The Ringing Bell
The two city gates to the west of Anmosidou suddenly opened, and two cavalry troops riding war horses and rhinos rushed through the city protection area under gunfire, killing the magic of the griffin. division team.
These two Demon Moon Cavalry are the two cavalry brigades of the Fourth Cavalry of the Empire's Central Army, nicknamed the 'Lancers'. The adjutant Major General Torre, known as the 'Devil Moon Warrior', leads the troops into battle.
There is always a delay in command and information transmission on the battlefield. When the magician group discovered that the Demon Moon Cavalry was coming, they were not far away. The infantry guarding the magician group held up their swords and shields in front of the magician team, and the diamond-shaped tower shield formed a wall.
The two sides soon exchanged blows. The shield wall formed by the tower shield failed to block the charge of the thunder-horned rhinoceros that rushed forward, and the mage group behind was threatened.
The mage group retreated while fighting, leaving the infantry to fight with the enemy, but the Demon Moon cavalry was chasing faster. The female warrior Toretti held a sword and shield, wore a feather crown on her head, and wore an armor weapon with the same color as the Demon Moon flag. She took the lead and rode straight through the center of the mage group, leading dozens of riders around her to tear a long hole in the mage team's formation.
The mages of the Gripen Kingdom were not panicked. They continued to retreat while resisting, retreating all the way out of the river mouth area and into the preset farmland.
These rice fields and wheat fields had long been burned into wasteland and turned into smooth roads. However, after a little rehydration with the magic of the mage, they immediately became a muddy land. Because of the darkness, many cavalry chased them too hard. Enter the muddy field and get stuck in it. The cavalry had no choice but to abandon their horses and fight, and the mages rose up to resist, which turned Mo Yue's cavalry raid into a dogfight.
Torey realized this and it was too late to get out. The cavalry trapped in the mud were entangled by magic and were in a state of retreat. The cavalry that had not yet been trapped must either evacuate on their own or enter. which rescues companions.
At this time, the gryphon knights of the Gryphon Kingdom in the sky flew in in groups, launching dive attacks on the Demon Moon Cavalry in the fields and shores. Some Demon Moon War Horses and Guardian Demonic Beasts were dragged away. It was torn into pieces in the sky, and the thunder-horned rhinoceros, whose leather armor was hard and unbreakable, was dragged up to a high altitude and thrown down.
Realizing that the two lancer teams were at a disadvantage, Moyue immediately sent out wing cavalry to rescue the siege. The reason why they did not send out air wing cavalry and ground cavalry units for joint operations at the same time was mainly because it was difficult to cooperate with joint operations in night battles and it was easy to accidentally injure friendly forces. The winged cavalry team of this 'Lancer' regiment was also a cavalry team composed entirely of griffons. They came to the combat zone and soon got into a melee with the gryphon country's air cavalry.
Although the standard armor and flag emblems of the two countries are different, in this case, it is difficult to see with the naked eye. You have to bump into each other to see clearly whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend. .
The Demon Moon Army had no intention of fighting to the death. The ground troops who received the help of the air cavalry reinforcements immediately retreated after climbing onto the griffons. The griffin infantry on both sides came to double-team and cut off the way, but at this moment the Demon Moon artillery fire, which had been suppressed, suddenly rang out again. The tongues of flame spewed by the magic rock cannon blasted the fields into scorched earth. Although the two sides were too close to each other and it was difficult to fire accurately, it effectively prevented the enemy from cutting off and encircling them, preventing the battle from evolving into a fueling tactic.
Kulizarid closed his eyes and listened to the battle report. It was not surprising that the mage group failed to achieve its goal. This has always been the case in sieges and defenses. It was his plan to use the Magic Rock Thousand Crack Cannon to gain an advantage and bombard the city for a week before the official siege. The dispatch of the mage group was a test.
There were birds flying in the sky, and they were quickly shot down by shooters in the sky. These flying birds may appear to be wild, but in fact they are most likely spies controlled by the mind mage. Kulizarid opened his eyes, grabbed the bird that fell next to him, stood up and was about to give a new order, when suddenly a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, the enemy has troops leaving the city."
"What direction?"
"There are enemy soldiers coming out of the city in the east and southeast of the city, and there are a lot of them."
The attendant beside the king said: "There are people in the east and southeast of the city... Abandoning the city and running away?" "No, not running away," the scout said. "I saw that they had all their horses ready and were wearing armor. They didn't look like they had abandoned the city."
After a while, another spy came to report: "Your Majesty, most of the enemy troops are in the southeast of the city. Gathering, there is a big sign of attack.”
The attendant said: "Moyue actually wants to take the initiative to attack. We have heavy troops in the south. Aren't they crazy?"
Kulizarid said: "Instruct the special forces to move to the south and divide them into two groups to wait for the opportunity. "Move."
At 2:25 in the morning, fighting started in the south, and the close-range hand-to-hand combat left no room for artillery fire to exert its power. The southern front command of the Gripen Army organized a large army to meet the enemy. The number of personnel was six times that of the Demon Moon Army, and it looked like it could be annihilated in one fell swoop.
From hills to fields, from trees to villages, the Gripen Army has a numerical advantage everywhere. Gripens and four-winged birds fly in groups in the sky like clouds covering the moon. , winged flying dragons, wingless chimeras, primitive giants towering on the ground to form insurmountable high walls.
At this time, Yahan and many mages appeared on the city wall wearing the red robes of the Demon Moon. They stood in formation, chanted in unison, praying for the power of the gods, and the light with the sound of the curse appeared. , forming a huge rumble and rushing towards the sky. In the light of the protruding light beam, the people on the ground briefly saw a fat and bloated beast appearing in the sky, it was the second generation Lamasu.
The commander of the southern line of the Gripen Army immediately became nervous when he saw the light pillar on the city wall: "Here it comes, the 'Bell of the Empire'. The adjutant ordered all the armies that were not fighting to retreat immediately."
"What about the fighting ones?" ?”
The commander said with a solemn face: “The warring parties cannot retreat at this time, otherwise it will take a certain amount of time for the ‘Bell of the Empire’ to take shape, Your Majesty. The liquid source limiter must have been arranged, hoping to extinguish them in time!"
The Eagle of Justice Ankara led two groups of special teams, using the magic of concealment to bring magical tools and stone tools! She quickly rushed to the southeastern outskirts of the city. When she saw the pillar of light rising into the sky, she knew that there was no time. She could only rush there regardless of the risk of her whereabouts being exposed and the traps in the outskirts of the city.
Halfway there, she asked one group of people to stay on standby, while the other group flew over with her and her gryphon dragging the magic weapon at low altitude. Because the target was too small and it was dark, they were not discovered several kilometers away from the city wall. When they came to the range that the liquid source limiter could cover, they immediately opened the magic weapon, put in the weapon, and aimed it at the direction of Yahan within six kilometers at an angle of 140 degrees from the opening fan. This is a single magic weapon without the use of a magic array. The ultimate range that sub-enhancement can cover.
As the magic weapon is activated, a wave of magical energy rushes out, and all magic wherever the ripple passes is instantly extinguished.
