Chapter 614 Breaking the City
Accompanied by the screams of the patrolling soldiers here, the rapid sound of horns soon sounded on the border line, which also aroused the attention of Silk and Drogo. Notice.
They were a little confused as they rushed out of the energy channel.
You know, they were mentally prepared to face the enemy siege at the exit, so they increased their speed in advance and were ready to charge immediately when they rushed out of the exit to break through the enemy's attack. The blockade line opened up the situation for the follow-up troops.
Who would have thought that nothing happened, but they themselves failed to stop the car and overran...
Gently pulling the reins in their hands, while controlling the horses under them, the sound of horns in the distance immediately attracted their attention.
Needless to say, the enemy discovered them.
This situation will not make them panic. After all, Silke and the others are mentally prepared to start fighting as soon as they come over. How can there be pressure now just because of the horn?
Even after hearing the horn sound and finding the target, Silk glanced left and right.
"Lieutenant Drogo, you stay here and wait for the main force, I will go and deal with them."
As he spoke, Silk lightly kicked the horse in the belly and rushed towards it.
After noticing Hilke and the others' movements, the patrol team here suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly turned their horses' heads in an attempt to escape.
This patrol team only has five cavalry troops, so there is no way it can stand up to them.
There was a distance between them from the beginning. When the other party escaped like this, Silk originally thought that it would not be easy to catch up, but it was a bit too much to activate his abilities for such five cavalry. .
What he didn't expect was that during the chase and escape, the distance between them was quickly shortened.
The elf knights' riding and archery skills have always been outstanding. The moment the five cavalrymen on the opposite side entered their shooting range, without any hesitation, Hilke and the others directly bent their bows and nocked arrows.
Several rounds of arrows flew out, and the patrols on the opposite side were unable to dodge and fell to the ground amidst screams.
Then the elf knights headed by Silk approached and made a simple confirmation.
[These war horses can only be regarded as inferior horses in our Zhou Dynasty, and will not be put into military use at all. 】
Although Hilke and the others do not raise or train horses, as cavalry, they are always accompanied by war horses. Now they can easily tell whether a war horse is good or not.
Just as they were thinking this, there was a sound in the distance. It was the patrol team stationed in this area, which gathered after hearing the signal.
Looking at the scale, there are at least three hundred troops.
But Drogo and the others did not panic at all.
Of the three hundred troops, there are only about fifty cavalry, and the rest are sword and shield soldiers. How can they be their opponents?
Before Silk and the others could turn back, the centaur clan headed by Drogo showed their brave fighting power.
Unlike the peace-loving prairie elves who do not like war, the centaurs who have not been on the battlefield for a long time are busy with racial reproduction. They are all holding back their energy. This wave finally allows them to find A place to vent!
The cavalry on the opposite side was simply vulnerable to them. After just one encounter, they were defeated by the centaurs. Then the centaurs headed by Drogo continued to charge unabated, carrying the momentum of the charge. He pounced on the infantry unit on the opposite side.
At this moment, they have been charging back and forth directly in the opposite position, which is called unstoppable.
During this period, as the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Shi Lei calmly directed the infantry troops to set up defensive formations. If enemy soldiers approached, he would kill them appropriately, among other things. No need to do more at all.
Seeing this, Silk had no intention of getting involved. He simply led his elf knights and turned around to search nearby.
Soon, a garrison camp came into Silk's sight.
This wave of the opponent's garrison camp on the border was probably mobilized. There were only a few soldiers in the camp, and Silke and the others easily took it away, and then turned back and met with The troops converged.
During this process, the three hundred garrison troops on the opposite side had also been killed by them and fled in all directions.
Needless to say, Hilke directly led the team to join in the encirclement and interception of enemy soldiers.
According to what I learned before sending out troops, it is almost two hours' journey by horseback from this garrison camp to the first border city on the opposite side. This distance is not far or close. After killing all the fleeing enemy soldiers, Shi Lei, who was in the center of the position, cast a questioning look at Zhou Xu.
"Your Majesty?"
That's right, for this expedition, Zhou Xu unsurprisingly chose to conduct the expedition himself.
After all, Zhou Xu is a very important combat unit in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He can form an army by himself. His existence can make up for the lack of strength of their Great Zhou troops to a large extent.
Faced with Shi Lei's inquiry, Zhou Xu calmly spoke...
"Soldiers need to be quick. Let's proceed according to the original plan we made before. Let the logistics troops be temporarily stationed in the garrison camp here, and the large forces will directly advance!"
They are not as strong as this wave in terms of troops. It has an advantage, and it is also the opponent's home court. If you want to gain the upper hand, you have to work harder in other aspects.
For example, a sudden attack that catches the opponent by surprise!
After simply arranging the logistics troops with little combat capability, the large troops began to advance towards the opposite border city.
The cavalry troops took the first step to explore the road ahead, just in case, while the infantry troops and crossbow troops followed behind.
When a large force advances, the movement speed is not calculated based on the fastest unit, but the slowest unit, so the two-hour journey does not have much reference for them.
They passed through the energy channel and arrived here in the morning. By the time the large force advanced to the outside of the opposite city, judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it was estimated to be around three in the afternoon. .
The defending troops on the opposite side have undoubtedly discovered them, but the other side did not choose to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack, making it clear that they wanted to fight a defensive battle.
On the top of the wall, Long Zhantian, dressed in military uniform, hurried over after receiving the news.
Looking at the invading enemy troops in the distance, Long Zhantian checked the time and thought...
[A troop of this size dares to appear on our border with China? It's getting dark now, so I'll let you go for now, and I will personally lead a large force to destroy you early tomorrow morning! 】
Unexpectedly, before he could finish this thought, he saw the troops on the opposite side spreading out, and he couldn't see clearly what they were doing. He could only vaguely hear a rapid whistling sound.
Then, there was just a loud bang, and the watchtower they set up on the wall was shattered instantly as if it had been hit by some terrible attack!
The flying sawdust even splashed on Long Zhantian's face, making him frightened and angry.
“What’s going on?! What did they do?!”
Invisibly, there was already a hint of panic in the voice, shouting out the aspirations of all the soldiers on the wall.
At that moment, many soldiers were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to the ground.
As the general who defended the city, Long Zhantian was also frightened, and his legs trembled, which made him even more annoyed.
What he didn’t know was that this was just the beginning!
The crossbow troops in the distance have already laid out their formations. There are four three-bow bed crossbows brought by Zhou Xu in this wave, and they are all deployed now.
After destroying the watchtower on the opposite side with a giant crossbow bolt, the four three-bow crossbows adjusted their angles, loaded the enchanted crossbow bolts, and focused their fire to attack the opposite city gate.
Although the city gate covered with iron sheets is thick, how can it withstand the continuous blows of the enchanted crossbow arrows?
Amidst the roar, under the horrified gazes of the soldiers in the city, an entire city gate was completely blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Seizing the opportunity for the city gate to be breached, Drogo, who had been waiting for a long time, swung the crystal iron gun in his hand.
"Cavalry charge! Kill!!"
"Kill!!!"
