Chapter 659 The Camp Attack and Defense under the Moon
This deafening shout of killing was like a sharp broadsword, cutting through the quiet moonlight immediately.
It was like a blow to the head, hitting the heads of everyone in the camp, including the middle-aged staff officer.
Since all of this happened so suddenly, the middle-aged staff officer, who still had a trace of disdain and contempt on his face, could not react.
Under the dark night, the sky was full of fire arrows, which had already fallen from the sky.
These fire arrows are all blessed by the magic of the wind magician, which greatly increases the range. Although this auxiliary spell requires a long time to enchant, it is almost impossible to use it continuously.
But as a sharp weapon for the first wave of attacks, it is obviously perfect.
Among them, most of the arrows were shot from the direction of the forest flanking the camp. Although this natural line of defense could block the charge of the cavalry, it also became the best cover for the attackers.
As for the camp guards who were originally guarding here, they had already fallen silently under the blades of the attackers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Accompanied by the first wave of fire arrows, they roared down with lightning speed.
Suddenly, the guards and patrols outside the camp were pierced by sharp arrows and directly nailed to the ground, stirring up waves of dust.
Some of those who were lucky enough not to be shot at the vitals uttered screams because of the pain. The burning and tearing sensation brought by the hot arrows was obviously unbearable for these ordinary soldiers.
For a moment, the screams of the soldiers in the camp mixed with the shouts of killing outside the camp, and quickly spread in the huge and unsuspecting camp.
What made the soldiers even more terrified was that these sudden arrows were smeared with a special combustion-supporting alchemy potion, which caused the horses and deer villages around the camp that were not covered by the anti-magic coating to burn rapidly, and billowing thick smoke rose immediately. rise.
Without this barrier, the camp obviously lost an important protection!
"What's going on? Who is attacking us?"
Shocked, the middle-aged staff officer blurted out with a look of panic.
"It's the horse head flag of Pentium City! The attackers are the Grand Prince's cavalry regiment!"
A few guards who survived at the gate of the camp staggered and ran back in a panic, shouting loudly.
"Is it really Vince's cavalry regiment? How can those traditional nobles who have just suffered a defeat have the guts to launch an attack?!"
The shock on the face of the middle-aged staff officer was beyond words, and he muttered blankly: "Could it really be that the new City Lord Kongqing provoked the incident? He actually has such a terrifying ability to drive away tigers and wolfs?!"
Just as the middle-aged staff officer was sluggish.
The soldiers who were sleeping soundly were all awakened by the earth-shattering momentum, either frightened or confused, they rushed out of their respective tents.
Due to the haste, most of the soldiers did not even wear armor, but only wore thin shirts and trousers.
Facing outside the camp, heavily armed attackers and earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Although the middle and low-level commanders who reacted first tried their best to gather and appease their soldiers, the atmosphere of panic was still unstoppable and spread wildly in the camp.
The urgent and low-pitched alarm horn sounded in the camp.
What followed was a calm and resonant voice: "The warriors of my Gray Rock City, the enemies who are overwhelmed now, are attacking our camp. They are trying to chop off our heads with axes, trying to use The sword makes us submit, but how can the Frost Flame Tiger be defeated by the Frost Sheep?"
Needless to say, it was the Marquess of Eriton who spoke.
As the lord of the city and the commander of this army, he naturally knew how to rekindle the fighting spirit of the soldiers under such extremely unfavorable conditions.
And as a Tier 4 powerhouse in the physics department, letting his deep voice spread throughout the camp is even more of a breeze.
Although he didn't think that these soldiers under his command were just stepping stones to power and had the qualifications to be compared with his noble self, but in this crisis situation, he didn't care so much.
"The enemy is just punching first, trying to crush our fighting spirit? That is their wishful thinking! How can a group of dismounted cavalry be our infantry's opponent?"
Since the original guards around the camp were almost wiped out by the sudden rain of arrows and spears, only a few defenders were still doing their last resistance.
At the same time, a high-pitched chant sounded.
A group of mages in crimson robes under the protection of the cavalry raised their staffs high, and the surrounding fire energy particles surged wildly.
As the incantations became louder, a huge crimson magic circle with a diameter of about two meters emerged on the wooden fence flickering in front of it, and it began to spin rapidly from slow to extreme.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of the defenders of Gray Rock City who had just arrived to support them.
A third-tier longbowman captain was the first to bear the brunt, and easily jumped onto the arrow tower full of corpses. First, he turned sideways to avoid a javelin, and then twirled two feathered arrows in his hand. With lightning speed, The longbow in his hand was fully drawn.
"Double arrows explode!"
Hearing a shout, two whizzing sharp arrows passed through the knights guarding around, and accurately hit the abdomen of two red-robed mages who were closing their eyes and interpreting the spell.
The huge impact force caused these two weak and unlucky guys to be sent flying before they even had time to snort. The rapidly spinning arrows directly turned the stomachs of the two into a paste. .
"How courageous, you actually dare to face difficulties!"
Seeing the death of both the precious elite magicians, the murderous look on the face of the middle-aged cavalry captain became more intense. He took over the cavalry around him and handed him two lances, and immediately there was a burst of impressive energy fluctuations from his body.
"Double Meteor!"
The cavalry captain waved his left and right arms simultaneously with blue veins, and the two throwing spears dragged their long tails and shot at the longbowman commander at high speed.
Sensing the imminent threat, the longbowman commander, who had succeeded in one attack, did not dare to neglect, and immediately jumped down from the conspicuous arrow tower.
However, even though he avoided the two deadly spears that passed by his head, he was still brushed by a swaying arrow on his right shoulder the moment he landed, leaving a crimson bloodstain.
The small contest between these two third-tier powerhouses who were hostile to each other was just a small episode on the entire battlefield, which hardly caused any waves, and was immediately covered by the shouts of soldiers beside them.
After a while, even though the defenders who had just arrived tried their best to stop them, the remaining red-robed magicians successfully completed the blasting spell.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of violent explosions sounded, and thick smoke filled the air.
A large number of wood fragments were scattered, and even many soldiers from both sides who were tens of meters away were hit and fell to the ground, struggling to get up.
Although these wooden fences are coated with anti-magic coating, they can withstand ordinary fire and fireballs, but they are extremely poor against this kind of blasting magic.
When the thick smoke dissipated, the solid wooden fence had already been torn open with a gap of six or seven meters.
"Rush in and kill these new noble's dogs!"
The middle-aged cavalry captain looked happy, the knight sword in his hand flashed coldly, and rushed over at the head of the horse.
However, the reaction speed of the defenders was faster. A large number of heavy infantry who had no time to wear heavy armor, but only held heavy shields and hand axes, had already stood at the door, forming a steel line of defense.
Behind them, there are rows of spearmen holding long guns, ready to harvest the lives of their opponents in the gaps.
Just as the defenders stood still, the middle-aged cavalry captain and other cavalry rushed up, waving their long ~.
The crisp sound of weapon collision sounded, and the hand-to-hand combat began.
I saw the heavily armed cavalry holding sharp knives, constantly attacking the defense line of the heavy infantry.
However, the defenders who specialize in infantry combat obviously cooperated more closely, causing a large number of cavalry to die under the sharp axes and spears.
The two-legged charge of the cavalry continued.
Although there was little effect at the beginning, as the defensive formation gradually tore apart, many heavy infantry began to scream and fell to the ground one after another.
After all, most of these heavy infantry had no time to put on armor, and the heavy shield in their hands obviously couldn't give them all-round protection.
Since both sides were full of fighting spirit, the soldiers in the front row had just fallen, and the soldiers in the back row immediately added up.
With the bright red blood mixed with the soil, spreading and flowing wantonly on the ground, the battle situation became more and more intense.
