Chapter 89 88. War is a double-edged sword
"Hold up the shield..."
I don't know who yelled such a sentence in the chaotic night, the voice was powerful and high-pitched.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers stopped as if they had found their backbone, turned around and raised their shields to face the evil spirit.
The evil spirits chasing behind rushed up, and these infantry soldiers fell down like harvested wheat.
"Construction Knight, the evil ghost camp ahead, attack!"
The majestic voice seemed a little annoyed, and there was some impetuousness in the voice.
The pair of constructed knights guarding in front of the barracks tent raised their knight spears one after another, and the sound of horseshoes sounded.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers retreated to both sides, leaving a large battlefield in front of the camp.
The evil spirits chased after the infantry soldiers, and a rain of arrows fell out of the air, separating the battlefield with precision. Some evil spirits wanted to rush towards the arrow rain, but were shot through their bodies by several giant crossbow arrows. Nailed firmly to the ground.
At this time, the infantry soldiers had seven bed crossbows in their hands. Immediately after the giant crossbow arrows were shot out, the sound of the winch and iron chain striking, the bowstrings on those bed crossbows were pulled apart by the soldiers again, and the arrow slots were refilled with giant crossbow arrows. Amidst the noise, they pointed at the evil spirits in the camp again...
A halo of halos lit up under the feet of the constructed knights' horses, and the magic-weave constructs on the knights also exuded a faint magical atmosphere. They rushed to the camp of evil spirits and strangled them together.
In terms of strength, the Constructed Knight is slightly inferior to the Evil Ghost, but the Constructed Knight can use the horse to speed up the charge, and rely on speed to increase strength.
The constructed knights collided with the evil spirits fiercely, and several knight spears broke from them immediately. Colorful magical halos burst out from the knights, and the bodies of the evil spirits were also filled with a faint black mist. The two sides strangled each other. Together, they immediately became the focus of the battlefield.
Knight spears are only long weapons that can be used in the initial charge. When the two sides start hand-to-hand combat, the constructed knights will give up these knight spears, pull out the sabers at their waists, hold delicate knight light shields, and rush into the In the arms of the devil.
The evil spirits will not give the constructed knights a chance to kill through their camp, because in that case, the evil ghosts will bear the second round of charges of the constructed knights, and no one can repeatedly use their bodies to resist the charged of the constructed knights , even the evil spirits in the abyss.
Dozens of knights held light knight shields, leaped high from their horses, and swung the shields in their hands at the face of the evil spirit.
In this kind of battlefield of iron and blood, every head-to-head collision seems to have infinite charm, which attracts countless constructed warriors. They would rather give up some fancy combat skills and show off their momentum.
Hundreds of constructed knights unleashed their 'momentum', phantoms stood behind the constructed knights, and their aura suddenly rose to another level.
Constructed knights blocked the group of evil spirits from the front, and the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment in the barracks began to regroup into a square formation, and the longbowmen in the regiment gathered behind the square formation, with fine iron arrows resting on their longbows , the tip of the arrow pointed obliquely at the battlefield a hundred meters away.
The heavy cavalry also found an open place to regroup. These heavy cavalry were lined up together, and then separated from the frontal battlefield by a certain distance, so that they had some deterrence on the battlefield.
The fourth battalion of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment was assembled near the pile of ordnance and supplies. Baron Sidney was standing on a bed crossbow with a large double-edged sword in his hand, directing his heavy armored infantry The soldier aimed more than a dozen bed crossbows at the opening of the barracks that was destroyed by the evil spirits. He planned to force these bed crossbows to cut off the escape of the evil spirits at the moment when these evil spirits who were doomed to fail fled.
In this battle of attacking the camp at night, the outstanding cohesion of the 4th Battalion of the Fifty-seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment was obvious to all. Even in the process of the heavy armored infantry regiment's defeat, Baron Sidney was still able to organize an effective resistance force, The details of these battles will naturally fall into the eyes of some important people in the barracks.
The second team controlled a bed crossbow, and Suldak stood in the position of the main shooter, aiming intently at the evil spirits on the battlefield ahead.
After the longbow shooter phalanx had been tested and calibrated, it finally began to shoot a rain of arrows at the evil spirits. Cooperating with the constructed knights on the field, they strangled the hundreds of evil spirits on the field, and the evil spirits kept falling down. Seeing that the general situation was over, the evil spirits gathered together and rushed left and right to prepare to break through.
At this time, the heavy cavalry had assembled and blocked the gap in the camp that was knocked out by the evil spirits.
The commander of the evil ghost is also very decisive. It decisively allocates half of its troops to entangle the constructed knight, and the remaining less than a hundred evil ghosts bear the rain of arrows above their heads and attack the gap in the barracks, ready to stop at any cost. The heavy cavalry at the gap broke up.
As soon as the evil spirits approached the gap in the wooden fence of the camp, more than a dozen giant crossbow arrows flew towards them. Accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, the giant crossbow arrows pierced through the bodies of several evil spirit soldiers. The heavy cavalry at the gap charged towards the evil spirits who were about to break through.
The balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the imperial army...
The other side of the mountain is bright with fish belly.
At dawn, the last evil spirit fell less than 50 meters away from the camp, and he was only a few steps away from rushing into the dense forest.
It's just that the fatal wound on its body was a bowl-thick blood hole pierced by a knight's spear.
Holding an axe, an auxiliary soldier quickly ran in front of the ghost's body, ignoring that the ghost's body was still twitching, swung the bone-cutting ax in his hand, and skillfully chopped off the ghost's head Come down and mark the forehead of the evil spirit's head. This thing is worth a lot of military merit, and whoever it belongs to doesn't dare to be careless.
The Constructed Knights have already started to close the team, and the camp is in a mess. The heavy armored infantry have sent some of the wounded to the rescue station in the camp. At this time, the corpses in the camp have to be dealt with. The heavy armored infantry who died in battle will be registered one by one. Registered, their personal belongings and pensions will be co-mailed to their hometowns.
Everything in the barracks began to become orderly, and the senior leaders of each team began to count the gains and losses of this battle.
The one with the heaviest casualties was naturally the 58th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment. At least 500 soldiers from the 58th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment fell in the camp this time when the evil spirits attacked the camp.
Earl Mond Goss mixed among the high-level officers of the barracks, and began to inspect the losses of the various regiments on the spot. When he came to the fifty-seventh heavy armored infantry regiment, Mond Goss walked out of the crowd and came to Baron Sidney In front of him, he straightened his bow tie with his own hands. Although he didn't speak, the approving look in his eyes was self-evident.
This time, the Fourth Battalion of the Fifty-seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment performed well, and everyone saw it.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers of the fourth brigade controlled a total of eleven bed crossbows, and made great contributions in preventing the evil spirits from escaping.
The evil spirits on Moyun Ridge probably didn't want the Bena Legion to set up camp at the foot of the mountain too easily, so they launched a night raid.
As soon as the two sides fought, they paid a huge loss. The evil ghost camp lost 200 evil ghost soldiers overnight, and at least 700 soldiers from the Beinar Legion Expeditionary Army died here, and the camp also suffered. Severe damage, but fortunately, the supplies did not suffer much loss...
