Chapter 136: 135. The Battle of Moyun Ridge

  Chapter 136 135. The Battle of Moyun Ridge

  He Boqiang did not dare to walk the road leading to Moyunling. The road on the west side of the expeditionary army camp has now become the main battlefield of the evil ghost army and the Constructed Knights.

Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of the Evil Ghost Legion dug such a big hole, and let the heavy cavalry regiment, bed crossbowmen regiment, and catapult regiment of Marquis Solomon Bowen of the Benar Legion all jump in. If these troops spread out on the frontal battlefield In other words, in the head-to-head battle between the elite Constructed Knights and the evil ghost army on Moyunling, the Moyunling Expeditionary Army is not without strength.

The problem is that Marquis Solomon Bowen has been consuming the strength of the Heavy Cavalry Corps in order to preserve the strength of the Constructed Knights Corps. However, under the long-range attack of the Bed Crossbow Corps, the Evil Ghost Corps retreated steadily, which also gave the expeditionary army On the one hand, they have great confidence, thinking that with the carpet-like advance of the heavy cavalry regiment and the bed crossbow regiment, they will be able to fight all the way to the stronghold of the evil ghost army in Moyunling.

I don't know where the battle situation collapsed. If the impregnable front line was defeated by the evil ghost army, even if Marquis Solomon Bowen led the Constructed Knights to the west of the expeditionary army's camp, he still couldn't save the expeditionary army. times of defeat.

  In order to avoid being intercepted and killed by evil spirits, He Boqiang chose to pass through the impenetrable dense forests.

He didn't have the time or energy to cut a passage with a hatchet, so he could only wrap his head in a linen cloth, wear leather armor and rush into the bushes full of thorns. Only when he encountered vines, He Boqiang would use Roman The sword cut it off.

   This way of traveling through the dense forest consumes the most energy, but because of the "divine blessing body" to replenish physical energy in time, He Boqiang will not be too tired when walking through the dense forest.

   It's just that the five evil ghost heads hanging behind the buttocks are obviously a bit cumbersome at this time.

   As a last resort, He Boqiang could only take out the black magic crystal inside, leaving only one head of the evil spirit, and discarding the rest. After reducing the load, He Boqiang immediately felt that the speed increased by at least 20%.

When He Boqiang crossed the battlefield on the west side of the expeditionary army camp, the mountain road in Moyunling was still full of corpses of imperial soldiers, and some horses in heavy armor also fell on the road. There are only a few in this area. The evil spirits were patrolling, cleaning the battlefield, searching for human fighters who might survive in the field.

He Boqiang stooped his waist and walked along the chest-high grass to avoid the search of the evil spirit patrol team. He followed the expeditionary army's road to the battlefield on Moyun Ridge, always wanting to touch the depths of Moyun Ridge, and turned over several times. On a hillside, I finally saw the corpses of nearly a hundred heavy cavalrymen lying on a sloping mountain. Beside them, there were also horses in heavy armor lying aside. Blood flowed on the hillside into a river, and the whole hillside was transformed It was bright red.

  There are evil ghosts holding military thorns over there, rummaging through the corpses on the battlefield, and when they encounter some heavy cavalry who don't die immediately, they often stab them with a military thorn, completely ending the lives of these heavy cavalry.

Walking along the dense forest on the side, I suddenly found that the terrain in front of me became lower, and there was a big mountain depression on the hillside in front of me, but there were cliffs on both sides that could not be climbed. Through this pass, the remains of dozens of catapults lie on the high ground of the pass.

  He Boqiang removed the thorny vines hanging on his body, and while a group of evil spirits left, he got out of the wild grass and ran to the catapult position.

   More than two dozen catapults were paralyzed on this high ground.

The tall gantry has been cut off by the giant axe, and the wooden wheels on the axles are all cracked. Some magic rune plates inlaid on the catapult have been split by the giant axe. Even the magic runes on the gem base The fragments of the crystal stones fell and shattered, and the heavy stone **** were piled up on the trucks next to them. The surface of these stone **** was polished quite flat, and some sticky fire was still oozing out from the fallen wooden barrels. Oil.

Next to the catapult, there were traces left after the battle. Some operators of the catapult could not even run far. They crawled on the catapult, almost covered with scars left by the ghost army stabbing. A large group of heavy armored infantry The soldiers of the Corps fell on the battlefield around the catapult, and it seemed that they had fought desperately with the evil spirits, but there were no corpses of any evil spirits on the battlefield.

  He Boqiang began to search among the bodies of these heavy armored infantry soldiers, but after wiping off the blood on their faces, every face was so strange.

He found the flag of this heavy armored infantry regiment from the side, and it was not the flag of the fifty-seventh heavy armored infantry regiment. He Boqiang threw away the dilapidated flag, hid under a collapsed catapult, and headed towards the col. Looking at the battlefield in the valley, I found that the slopes on both sides of the depression were the positions of the bed crossbow regiment, and there was a huge pile of corpses in the center of the depression.

Countless corpses of heavy cavalry and war horses gathered there. There were more than a dozen evil spirits carrying the corpses of heavy cavalry below the col. They kept lifting them to the top of the pile of corpses, as if they were building a castle with the corpses of imperial soldiers. On the tall altar, some evil spirits were laying steps on the pile of corpses. He Boqiang quickly retracted his head, not daring to stare there for a long time, for fear of being noticed by those evil spirits.

Of course, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment to appear on the main battlefield. They usually serve as escorts for bed crossbows and catapults. Undoubtedly, this time the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is still undertaking the task of guarding the Bed Crossbow Regiment.

The positions of the bed crossbow regiments on both sides of the hillside are also in a mess, and some bed crossbows have even been reduced to ashes under the fire. There are also countless corpses of heavy armored infantry soldiers lying on the slope. Not here.

  He Boqiang hid in the grass and quickly approached the bed crossbow group's position while the evil spirits couldn't notice, but the more he walked there, the colder his heart felt...

He has already seen those corpses lying on the ground, some of them are people he is familiar with, although some of them can't call out their names, but those faces have some impressions in his mind, at least these soldiers were at fifty-seven I have seen it in the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, and it is certain that the task of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is to protect the bed crossbow regiment, but there are so many fallen corpses on the slope, making He Boqiang's footsteps even heavier.

He Boqiang began to search for the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade and the Second Squadron on the battlefield. There were many bed crossbows in this area, and the evil spirits had already destroyed all of these bed crossbows. They were completely destroyed, basically cutting off the back of the bow. , and then broke the axle under the chassis of the bed crossbow, so that the entire bed crossbow was completely scrapped, without any repairable value.

Just beside a bed crossbow lay a familiar figure, the heavy armor was covered with scratches, a wound was cut from the left shoulder to the back waist, the entire gray spine was clearly visible in the **** wound It can be seen that this is the only fatal injury on his body, and his epaulets are the small captain's logo.

He Boqiang walked over quickly and let his bent body lie flat on the ground. The familiar face was the old Captain Sam, and under him was the dark-skinned black boy Jie Longnan. I remember that he was the second The fastest runner among the team members did not expect to escape the killing, and was pierced through the heart by an army. Even if old Captain Sam protected him, this young black boy still could not escape death .

  He Boqiang stroked Jie Longnan's lost eyes with his own hands, and asked him to close them.

After thinking for a while, He Boqiang took off the nameplates on his and Old Sam's chests, searched all the coins and put them into a cloth pocket, and took a piece of sheepskin and dipped it in blood to record the amount of money, and then put them away The bodies of the two of them lay side by side on the bed ballista, and then they reached out and took out some charcoal from the embers of the bed ballista beside them, and directly ignited the bed ballista of old Sam and Jielongnan.

  Not far away, He Boqiang saw another black war horse lying on the ground. That horse was very famous in the Fourth Battalion because it was the mount of Baron Sidney...
