The four armored beasts, who had been under Yunmeng for many years, were taken to the fortress this time. However, they did not show up in the previous battle and suddenly rushed to the city wall at the last moment, which played a decisive role. After the battle, Yunmeng was transformed into a human figure, and her delicate face had lost the color of blood. She was hurt badly, and she was tired and almost cramped.
Raphael, of course, was unhurt in the underground hall, but he was so pale that he could hardly stand up. As for the magicians, they can't fight any more.
This day's battle is not only in this fortress, otherwise no matter how strong Raphael and Yunmeng have, they will not be able to resist the all-out attack of the Legion of giants. On the same day as yesterday, the Salem army marched out of the city again and gathered their troops to advance slowly in the direction of the battlefield. The Philistines decided to keep alert, but for the time being, they would concentrate on attacking the fortress first.
The marching speed of the Salem army was very slow. At noon, they stopped for lunch and continued to move forward in the afternoon. Seeing that the fortress was about to be attacked, the Philistine was not willing to give up. He was conceited that he had enough troops to fight on two fronts. So he ordered his subordinates to line up to meet the enemy when they marched ten miles away.
I didn't expect that the Salem army was really coming this time.
At the height of the siege, the Philistines gathered a thousand swords, shields and cavalry to meet the enemy on the road. At this time, suddenly launched a counterattack is another fortress, link opened the gate, with 200 cavalry rushed to the battle of the giants. In his direction, the Philistines also put 500 swords and shields on guard, and immediately they lined up to meet them.
The cavalry's impact was very strong, but they did not completely defeat the giant soldiers under the heavy shield and long shuttle cloth. Link also took ten magicians out of the city, and he was forced to perform magic attacks in the cavalry. The Philistine was not disturbed by link's attack. He believed that the square array of 500 giant sabers and shields could block the 200 cavalry, and gave the order of death.
Link left the city because the situation of the other fortress was critical. He also saw that the other side's catapult could not be transferred to attack his own fortress, and the most fearsome bowmen were not in the battle, so he sent cavalry out of the city to fight. Link himself is also a great magician. With the help of ten other magicians in the team, he killed a man, a horse somersault, and hundreds of giant soldiers. He also lost dozens of horses.
However, the other side did not retreat from the bitter battle, and the army formation was strict, so the cavalry could not continue to exert their impact, and some of them could not resist it. Link quickly ordered him to return to the city. When the cavalry without battlefield experience retreated, it was inevitable that the giant soldiers took the opportunity to cover up and even rushed into the gate of the fortress. At this time, suddenly there was a loud buzz. Link, who had already rushed back to the city, immediately ran the protective array and launched a counterattack to the outside of the city, and all the city guards rushed to the gate.
The gate was closed, and all the giant soldiers who had rushed into the gate were killed or captured alive after a fierce fight. Under the command of lucerne, the magistrates of the Legion of giants attacked Raphael's fortress. The crossbow men and the catapults were all in that direction. They couldn't stop to attack link's fortress for the time being. The giant soldiers outside the city had to step back and continue to guard. The battle was also thrilling.
……
When the four great armored beasts finally entered the battle, George led the army of Salem and saw the giant army which the Philistines had set up. John whispered from the chariot, "did you see their battle? There are very few cavalry. They are almost all swords and shields. "
George pondered, "giant soldiers are very powerful. When they charge within a hundred paces, be careful of their shuttle guns."
John sighed: "in any case, it's the best time to fight head-on. There are no catapults, no bowmen, no chariots in their ranks. We can take our time. "
George nodded his head slightly and said, "their horses are very few. In many places of the Assyrian plateau, the horses can't pass through. We have to rely on the strong highland giants to carry the horses. If there are few horses, there are not too many chariots, and there are fewer cavalry. We should make good use of them. Their chariots are all on the high platform and let the crossbow men attack the fortress. Are the Philistines so confident that they want to use sword and shield infantry to resist our chariot charge? "
John narrowed his eyes and said, "he has the capital of self-confidence. The spear shield array of giant soldiers is very difficult to deal with. Besides, he had already transferred all his bowmen to attack the fortress. After a day's shooting, he would have been tired and could not go to the battlefield again. Thanks to Raphael and Yunmeng, they have consumed their most dangerous fighting power
George's original plan was to keep the two fortresses for seven days, which would consume and contain the fighting power of the giant legion, making them unable to attack Salem in a short time, and turn the decisive battle into a war of attrition. Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. Unexpectedly, the Philistines used their troops so fiercely that they focused on a fortress and launched a series of fierce attacks. However, Raphael and Yunmeng garrison were so tenacious that they had completed the expected goal ahead of time.
If the giant army is allowed to rest for a few days to replenish combat materials and continue to attack like this, the fortress will certainly not be able to defend. George and John had already made preparations when they led the troops out of the city. Seeing this situation, they marched forward and the decisive battle came ahead of time.
When the armies of both sides spread out in the sunset, the battle of siege finally ended. After a day of fighting, the fortress was not captured. The crossbows and flints were exhausted, and the chariots and catapults were also restrained. Another decisive battle was about to start. At this time, I'm afraid the most miserable people are the gods of the giant Legion. They have formed a magic array to assist the siege for a day, but now they have to return to the large array. Such a war between the two armies can not be without the assistance of the gods.When the battle lines opened, the Philistine was already in a state of exasperation, but the two armies he longed for to fight head-on came at a time when he least wanted it. He was waving a huge sword, just as he was about to scold. Suddenly, the chariot of the Salem army suddenly launched an attack.
John was slow on the March, but when he got near, he said to fight and fight, without even a word of nonsense. With the sound of war drums, George flew into the air. At the center of the battle line of Salem were twelve divinities with staff. George has sent all the magicians to the two fortresses. The twelfth division is the last God to be used in Salem. They can not only perform magic but also attack in close combat.
Each chariot is pulled by two horses. On the chariot, there is a royal hand, a shuttle shooter with a shield and sabre, and a crossbow man. When they rush to the front of the battle, they shoot at random. The two wings of the chariot are armored and heavily mounted to assist in the attack. After the rain of arrows, the giant battle line also threw a shuttle gun. The horse hissed and screamed. A general, surrounded by his own guards, jumped out of the chariot and rushed to the position of the Philistine. All the spears fired at him were swept away by the gale.
This man was really a fool. In a flash, he had already entered the Philistine's guard. The guards of both sides immediately fought together. The Philistine yelled and waved his sword and said, "who are you?"
"John!" cried the general
Then a dazzling white light burst, the huge energy shock made the surrounding soldiers fall one after another. John had been fighting with the Philistines, and the chariots behind them also ran into the giant soldiers' spear shield array. At dusk, the battle began in full swing.
Lucerne, the chief deity of the Legion of giants, complained in secret that the general named John of the other side launched a terrible charge. The chariot jumped out of the car and entered the army on foot when it was half way into the battle. The commander-in-chief, philistine, was involved in the scuffle, but the others could not get close to it. As soon as the war began, the commander of the army could no longer command the army array, and the responsibility of commanding the battle fell on him, the chief god. This was unexpected in advance.
The Salem army seems to have recognized the weakness of the giant's army's uneven allocation of arms and launched a charge with chariots, while the armored heavy cavalry protected the two wings of the chariot, which was the most feared tactic of the infantry array. Fortunately, the giant soldiers are powerful and powerful, and the huge shield in their hands is so heavy that they can withstand it for a while.
However, the time of the outbreak of the war is a bit wrong. It seems that it is getting dark. As time goes on, it will inevitably fall into a confused battle. This is not good for the infantry formed in the formation, and it is difficult to ensure the orderly advance and retreat of the front and rear army formations in turn.
Thinking of this, lucerne ordered an interspersed counter charge to destroy the other's deities at any cost. Because he found that the other side had a great magic division commanding the whole army, but the number of deities was very small. Only 12 people formed an array and followed the chariot forward. Their position is too far forward, and the commander of the other side seems to have made a mistake. They should not put the deity so close to the front line.
There was a vacuum in the middle of the battlefield, where John and the Philistines fought fiercely, and the two generals' personal cavalry also repeatedly rushed around. Under the command of lucerne, the gods joined forces to give the most elite giant soldiers various protection, bypassed this battle group, fought back, and inserted into the center of Salem's chariot array.
After this round of fierce outburst, the giant soldiers threw spears at the 12th division, and the roaring spears rained down. The spears they threw dozens of steps away could even pierce a wall. However, what was surprising happened. The deities even wielded their iron bars. In a burst of thunder, they were like a net made up of swords, flying the shuttle guns, and then they rushed over.
In front of the twelve divisions, there was a fierce shot of sand and a flash of fire. The dust on the ground rolled up and hit the giant warrior's shield with a roar, making the giant soldier even the shield unstable. George swung his staff down in the air, and countless white lights shot down, and the giant's counter charge was defeated. Lucerne was stunned. What kind of God was that? He actually played a charge battle on the front line!
The fighting between the two armies did not last long, but lucerne had been waiting for him. He was afraid that the commander-in-chief, philistine, might have an accident. Once the center of the battle line is broken, the morale of the whole army will be greatly weakened. The Philistine was very upset. He didn't expect that there would be a warrior on the other side who could penetrate the guard and fight with him directly. Moreover, he was skilled in magic. The powerful energy shock broke out with the sword, and the thunderbolt and electric light were all around him.
Most plateau giants are born with divine power, but there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Most of them are simple in mind and developed in limbs. Although they are much more powerful than Samurai at the same level, it is difficult to cultivate to a higher level. The soldiers of the Legion of giants are composed of pure plateau giants. They are the elite of the kingdom of Assyria. However, only two great warriors, Jufei, the former commander of the battle group, were injured during the siege, which allowed John to attack the commander in chief successfully.
The magistrates of the Legion of giants are not plateau giants. Most of the trained highland giants are warriors, and diviners are very rare. Therefore, it's a little uneasy for Lucien to command the army. The Philistine wants to solve the battle with John as soon as possible. He has achieved level 8 achievements, and is more powerful than ordinary level 8 warriors. A Epee has the power of wind and thunder. Unexpectedly, John was able to hold on, the whole body bone burst, with a manic force, hard against hard not to retreat.
It was soon dark, and the casualties of Salem's chariot charge were not small. The field left a lot of wreckage of chariots and horses, but they broke through the two lines of defense of the giant army and fought back a counterattack. Lucerne pushed the battle line behind him to the front. All the soldiers gave out hoarse shouts, and there were constant arrows coming. There was no stopping the sound of swords and guns hitting each other, and the collision of chariots and huge shields.There was a strong energy in the center of the battle group, and two figures were shooting out of their somersaults separately. The Philistine finally sent out the most powerful cut, the huge sword with arc light and John's sword, the two swords suddenly burst out of the gap, the impact force made them both fly backward, the commander-in-chief finally got out of the melee.
Seeing this, Lu si'en immediately ordered to blow the horn. The last row of guns and shields left a gap to advance forward. The tired soldiers in front of him fought and retreated like the tide. He wanted to stabilize his position and end the scuffle when night fell. At the same time, the sound of the trumpet came from the Salem army. The chariots stopped charging, and the war ended with the coming of night.
The result of this war is invincible. Although the Salem army has made the best of its tactical arrangement, the giant army still has a good fight by relying on its strong combat effectiveness. Both sides suffered more than 300 casualties. In addition to the casualties and consumption of the strong attack on the fortress, the giant Legion was no longer able to fight with all its might and had to retire later. George was also unable to take advantage of the situation to launch a counter offensive against enril, but he pushed the front line between the two fortresses, and reinforced the three-day stronghold.
Judging from the situation of the battlefield, it is difficult to win or lose, but this result is a victory for Salem. Although this war did not defeat the giant army, it reversed the whole situation of the war, formed a stalemate situation, maintained the front line of defense and maintained the stability of the rear. Moreover, after the baptism of this war, the soldiers of the Salem army also gained real self-confidence and became a force that can fight hard battles on the battlefield.
Of course, the most tragic battle was Raphael's fortress. More than half of the 500 defenders were killed and the remaining half were wounded. The section of the wall that the giant army attacked was almost smashed. Without the protection of the magic array, a warrior like John would be able to collapse a large area with one foot.
The number of casualties of three thousand soldiers in the Salem regiment exceeded 900, which was astonishing. George was unable to defend for the time being, and the Salem army was in urgent need of rest.
But the people of the city-state were inspired by the unprecedented, because their own Legion beat back the Legion of giants, and everyone regarded it as a great victory! In the people's view, this was also the victory of Amun God. Everyone walked into the temple and offered sacrifices to the goddess Mu Yun and Amun on the high platform. Then people heard the oracle of Amun. The God encouraged the people to have confidence to build and protect their homes. Salem was once boiling.
……
Amun was far away in the garden of Eden, and learned what happened in Salem through the statues in the temple. The principle of battle with enril was long established, and Amun didn't want to get involved in the war unless George's command was wrong. Of course, George did not make any mistakes. Amon had been on the battlefield for a long time. In his opinion, it was the Philistines who made a mistake.
Philistines shouldn't have attacked the fortress so hard. The smarter way is to besiege for a long time, attack and consume the reinforcements of Salem. The Legion of giants can do this completely. However, the Philistines did not estimate the defensive ability of the fortress, and it was difficult for the Philistines to attack blindly until the end. On the other hand, the Philistines had to do the same. He wanted to win quickly and solve the supply problem of enril city in the DUK plain. He was not willing to face Salem for a long time. However, George got this result in the first World War.
Now the armies of the two cities are resting, and neither of them is able to launch a decisive attack. In the ensuing battle, as long as the commander does not make serious mistakes, whether he wins or loses, neither side can defeat the opponent. Unless there is a turning point in the balance of power, this situation has already taken shape, and the complete elimination of the other side has become a plan that is neither worth the loss nor likely to be achieved.
As the war is like this, amundben doesn't have to pay too much attention to it.
However, Amun must pay attention to the fact that when all people pray to his idol, a strange power is formed, which "wakes" Amun from the soul world, as if the God standing on the altar opens his eyes. Amun finally understood that it was not without any restrictions to build a temple to accept the sacrifice of the people, so that the soul could draw on the endless power. When all people focus on their faith and call him, his soul will be disturbed and even have to watch all this.
For the first time, Amun was "forced" by the faith of the believers. He opened his eyes on the altar, and the cultivation in the garden of Eden was temporarily disturbed. He absorbed this power and was "coerced" by this force at this time, which is also the price he should pay. In this case, Amun simply took advantage of the situation and lowered the oracle to inspire the people.
……
The celebration in the city-state was just a small episode. Then Amun was still in the garden of Eden. As he expected, there were several small-scale conflicts in the Duke plain. However, both sides could not win decisive victory and entered a state of stalemate and consumption. Along with the war, Amun's vision and attitude towards the world gradually had a sense of detachment. He was really like a God that people can't see but feel.
But a few days later, another big event happened. George and Aesop couldn't make their own decisions, so they had to ask Amun for guidance. They did not come to the garden of Eden, but prayed and called to the gods in the temple. Amun could hear their voices, and such calls had to be paid attention to.**(to be continued.
