Chapter 366 Battle of Black Mountain (10)
“What wave is this?”
Looking at the burning shield car in front of him, Victor dragged his tired body back to the front line. asked Murat who was helping the fight.
"The third wave." Murat raised three fingers lightly. After speaking, he looked up at the sun in the sky.
The sun above our heads was almost at noon, and this encounter was longer than everyone imagined.
Looking at the battle formation in front of them, the morale of the war monks is generally high, but there is still some fatigue.
“Hey, hey, here comes the mint water.”
Several orderlies each carried a large bucket of mint water and staggered down the slope.
Seeing the cool mint water, these war monks did not grab it. They stood in their original position like benchmarks, motionless.
This is because the orderlies will help them pack all the mint water and deliver it to each brigade.
They passed the mint water sent from behind to one by one. Being baked by the strong sun, even the mint water in the water bag felt a little warm.
Swallowing the refreshing mint water, the cool air from my nose went straight to my forehead, dissipating a lot of the original summer heat.
After drinking this sip of mint water, Coleman felt that the cicada chirping in his ears became much clearer.
Standing next to Coleman, Viktor held a lookout glass and looked at Zelaken's array in the distance.
In the golden wheat fields, farmers are bending over to harvest wheat and rice crackers, although they may have just been robbed of their remaining grain and burned down their houses in the morning.
But if they don’t work, they won’t have food to eat in the coming year. Who will they threaten if they don’t work?
In such hot weather, many people in the Ibe army collapsed due to heatstroke.
Due to having undertaken the blessing of divine magic many times, these people were already in a weak state. Coupled with heat stroke, dozens of people died suddenly due to heat stroke in a short time.
Under such circumstances, Victor estimated that it would be difficult for the Chinese army to launch another attack before three o'clock in the afternoon.
On the contrary, the left wing of Ibe's army was least affected due to its proximity to rivers and streams and the cover of woods.
"Guess what method the clever Count Zelaken will use to deal with us next time?"
"Who knows? I guess he will ask a wizard to curse us."
"Don't say it, you really don't say it, these devil monks might really come from hell."
Smart Zelakken is the nickname given to Zelaken by the monks of the Salvation Army, which mainly comes from During the second wave of attacks, he poured holy water on the Salvation Army.
As a result, the Salvation Army was safe and sound, but the morale within the Ibe army was greatly reduced because the holy water was ineffective.
After being repelled by Viktor and others, Zelakken did not give up.
He first mobilized farmers and soldiers to form two large square formations, trying to use their numerical advantage to defeat the Salvation Army.
Then the morale was greatly reduced by the holy water incident. The peasants and soldiers took the lead in escaping, followed by the guards, and retreated before they could fight.
Soon after, after passing potions and distributing bounties, Zelakken came back again with his guards.
He changed the large square formation into a column in an attempt to reduce the attack area of the platoon, but was repulsed by the L-shaped shooting tactics on the flanks.
After Zelaken settled for more than an hour again, he collected a large number of door panels from nearby and installed them on the carriage.
He asked the peasants and soldiers to push the car fort and rush in, and used Horn's car fort tactics to deal with Horn.
Correspondingly, Horn immediately ordered the Fireball Crossbow to move forward fifty meters. Four wizards of the Flame Rose controlled the fireball crossbow, and four fireballs flew out. A fire ruined Zelaken's dream of a chariot and castle.
It’s just that both Horn and Victor are a little confused. If the shield car tactic just now is combined with the extraordinary knight, there might be a bloody battle.
It’s understandable that the extraordinary knights don’t want to go because “the side effects of the medicine are too great”, but the Nicossacks have full beards and tails from beginning to end, so why don’t they go?
“Are you preparing to retreat?” Das raised his head and looked at Horn, who was holding a lookout glass.
Horn wouldn't be surprised if Niedersall made this decision, but the problem is that they haven't reached that situation yet.
Even if Niedersall wants to leave, once the formation changes, aren't they afraid that the Salvation Army will immediately come down from the gentle slope and attack them?
The positions of the two sides are too close. Even if they want to retreat, they may have to retreat little by little. It is impossible to retreat now when the Chinese army is almost crippled.
"Woooooooo-"
The urgent horn sounded from the right wing, and Horn was refreshed. Is this the Negosacks dispatched?
Horn immediately jumped off the rock, snatched the observation glass from Das's hand, and looked at the left wing of Ibe's army.
What is strange is that the guards are still hiding in the shade of the trees, waving their fans lazily. As for the knights and Nicosacks, they are still by the stream...
"No! That's not Nicossack." Horn's eyes widened suddenly, "Why are most of the horses in the stable empty!"
"Your Majesty, it's not that direction!"
Dass grabbed Horn's shoulder and asked him to face the right side of the right-wing army.
A sand sculpture flag representing Niedersalle was fluttering on the hillside, and 300 Nicosacks and 200 retinue knights miraculously appeared behind the right-wing army.
"Where are the hussars?" Throwing the lookout glass in his hand to Das, Horn waved the flag towards Hakuto.
On the other hand, Hakuto gave a signal that no enemy movement had been detected.
Instead of going around from the left, could it be that you went around from the right?
"Impossible." Das frowned tightly, "We chose to set up the formation here because the west side near the river is swamps and puddles, and their walking on flat ground magic can't Walking on the water!”
At this moment, Mormont, who was meditating to restore his mana, suddenly opened his eyes.
He was stunned for half a second, then quickly stood up on the ground and trotted to Horn's side: "Your Majesty, can I use this lookout glass?"
Picking up the lookout glass, Mormont glanced back and forth toward the edge of the puddle swamp, and suddenly his perspective stopped.
After about three seconds of silence, Mormont suddenly gritted his teeth and whispered: "There is a traitor!"
"Traitor?" Darth did not understand what he meant.
Putting down the observation glass, Mormont's eyes flashed with anger: "There are traces of fossilized mud and frost spells in the puddles and at the edge of the forest...
Damn it, there are wizards here. How dare they work for them? Have they forgotten what these knights did to us? "
Horn and Das looked at each other. Although the case was solved, he was serious about this process. Never expected it.
This Niedersall is really a vegetarian. If it were replaced by an imperial knight or a church bishop to command, it would be absolutely impossible to use magic to achieve tactical goals.
Procedural piety in the church is true piety.
Adjusting Xue Zhiyun to a convenient position on his belt, Horn took a deep breath and put on his helmet: "The Hakuto Department maneuvered to the right and temporarily abandoned the high ground on the right."
After a pause, Horn turned his head: "Guards, follow me to support the right wing!"
