Mercenaries Under the Sky

Although unwilling, after falling down dozens of companions, human civilians approached the city wall, dozens of ministers stepped across the moat, and untrained civilians climbed to the other side with their hands and feet, the long sword and The sticks kept falling into the moat. Although the mercenaries on the city wall did not directly attack them, the huge stones thrown from a distance rebounded and fell into the crowd from time to time, and people continued to fall on the ground with their hands on their heads and fell into the moat. The red part of the river is getting bigger and thicker.

Suddenly, a knightly force was killed along the moat on the right side of the ice-breaking port. Unlike all the human knights that the Fanos have seen before, these knights are not wearing heavy armor or even ordinary plate armor. The black long coat is tightly wrapped around the body, only on the chest and abdomen Chainmail braided by white steel wire. The weapons in their hands are also fundamentally different. These knights do not have knight's standard two-handed lances or one-handed spears in their hands, but they carry long swords behind their backs and carry long bows in their hands.

For the first time, the small mercenary regiment ’s knightly unit was unveiled to the commanders of most of the army at that time. It was difficult to imagine. For any country, the destructive power of heavy infantry was three times that of light infantry. It is an indisputable thing, and the heavy knight not only inherits the advantage of heavy infantry with high defense, but also has strong penetration. In any battle, once the heavy knight force is put into use, it is not far from the end.

Many people in later generations believed that the mercenary king Amy not only fully promoted the swordsman profession, but also gave a new explanation for the application of the knight force, which led to a new development of the knight force.

However, at the time, only the parties knew the bitterness.

The high cost of the Cavaliers was not anticipated by the chiefs of the small mercenary regiment. Purchasing horses is extremely costly. The price of a good horse is even as high as 100 gold coins. Fortunately, Amy and others are thankful that all the horses of the small mercenary knights are brought by the group members. Horse breeding brings a devastating blow to the small mercenary ’s finances. A horse eats up to 20 kilograms of feed a day. Do n’t think that horses eat grass-war horses eat grass. The so-called forage is caused by Fine grass, oats, black beans, etc. are mixed, and the ice-breaking port is located on the west side of the mainland. The main origin of oats and black beans is the hinterland of the mainland. The price of these forages to the ice-breaking port has been almost the same as that of food. Basically, one The consumption of Zhang Mazui is basically equivalent to the consumption of food by seven mercenaries. This figure is converted into money and even exceeds the ground dragon eating meat and fish.

The small mercenary regiment was already short of funds, and the war horses and ground dragons made finances stretched. So that when Amy and others were patrolling the stables, the head of the Lord, holding the most robust horse, said tearfully to the horse: "Grandpa Ma, you know, you really want to eat me Poor. You see, where is the meat on your body, this is the hard-earned money of more than 2,000 brothers of the small mercenary group. If you lose during the war, I will kill you all You ca n’t even get your money back, maybe ... your skin can sell some money, your horse mane can also sell some money, your horseskin can be used to bend the bowstring, your horse ... "

The leader ’s words were n’t finished. The horse with the dragon and the tiger was lying on the ground. The hoof spasms were lying on the ground. The head of Amy showed his eyes. Whether it ’s a horse or a knight, the knight camp was swept by the wind. One by one, he posed.

In such a tight economic situation, the small mercenary regiment could not afford more money to buy a complete set of armor for the knights. In fact, even if there is money, the knight armor is customized, the small mercenary group has just stabilized for ten months, and the production capacity of several small blacksmith shops in the ice break port cannot provide so much. In order to prepare for the Fanos Legion this time, Amy specifically found the chain short armor that was originally equipped with an armed swordsman battalion from the defender of the Icebreaker City. The knightly gun was impossible to find, but the teenagers in the knight's camp could not fall under the enemy's spear in the first impact. Emmet found the corner that was eliminated from the city's vault early on. Bow, the original words of Lord Amy are: "shoot him, shoot him, even if his armor is thick enough to kill him, slow down their impact speed, so that when you hit them together, you can hold their long guns, yes Climb along the gun, anyway, they wear a lot of armor, the reaction is not as fast as us, ride on their neck and cut them! Remember, you are not allowed to die casually, you and these horses and horses owe me debts that are not paid ! "

Leaving aside the obvious part of Lord Amy's words with the poor people's self-deprecation, using these crude weapons should indeed be able to bring more survival opportunities to the small mercenary knightly battalion. Of course, before going through a lot of war tests, all this is just good expectations.

With a little puzzled, the Fanos Army quickly dispatched a mixed force to intercept the knights in this area less than 200. Hundreds of heavy infantry held up the steel shield in their hands to form 3 iron hedgehogs. Then, a considerable number of half The archers of horses and horses pushed them up, and the final knightly troops also moved. Only the knights could match the knights.

The bow strings in the hands of the knights buzzed and tremble. Although the range of the horn bow was different from that of the long bow, the knights of the small mercenary regiment had time and geographical advantages. The fierce monsoon in the early spring swept deep along the coast from the southwest to the mainland. The initial speed of the bows and arrows shot by the knights on the mount under the wind and the light ride has exceeded the judgment of the Fanos soldiers. The first row of heavy infantry shields have not yet had time to stand up. The rain has fallen. The ten bearmen warriors faced with arrows in their faces and fell to the ground with their arrow holes covered. The strike effect that came sooner than expected was obviously not only this. The centaur archer squinted against the wind and was passing through the arched position that had not yet been fully formed. The steel raindrops hit them more obviously than the bear-men fighters. The white body kept falling to the ground, and the hoarse wailing became the main melody of Fanos ’side position.

Fanos' main lineup and the chiefs of the two wings were shocked at the same time, and there was a vague and unstable turmoil among the tens of thousands of soldiers. The blue and red flags were raised successively above the main lineup, and the left-wing soldiers once again dispatched a half-orc heavy infantry and two werewolves.

When there were still about 150 meters away from the enemy, Chi Aotian led the knight battalion to set aside the frontal enemy and plug it in the southeast direction. This is also Amy ’s command. The one-to-one exchange of casualties must be a big violation "Business rules.

In Amy ’s carefully calculated abacus, the Cavaliers Battalion shoots 3 standard arrows per person. Only if they can shoot 100 enemies and lose no more than 10 people, the purpose is only suitable. The purpose is only to save people. The scene of the camp is still left to the regular army of the empire. After all, the small mercenary regiment has not received any money from the imperial army. This strange way of playing Chiaotian is very difficult to accept. Any regular knightly drill in the Imperial Knight School is a collision between real steel and flesh and blood, if it is not because of any other senior cadres in the small mercenary group. No one has any knightly combat experience, and Chi Aotian in this position is definitely going to sway his hand.

More heavy infantry were separated from the front wing of the left wing. Hundreds of large shields were lifted high. Arrow feathers slipped through the air and fell behind from the shield. There were continuous screams.

In order to prevent the enemy from rushing out of the ice-breaking port to break through the left-wing forces, new orders were spread among the Fanos soldiers. The main lineup of more than three heavy infantry 100s and more than 5 light infantry 100s strode forward 20 Mi built a follow-up echelon, and at least half of the soldiers built new left-wing protection. At the same time, the two werewolves were pulled from behind the civilians, and the rapid protection was missed between the main team and the front team.

The Fanos soldiers suddenly heard sharp tweets from the rear. Almost all the main lineup and the left and right wing soldiers looked back subconsciously. In the distance, there were countless vultures swept by the black pressure in the sky. There is a swordsman on it. Fanos senior officers all know that among the main swordsmen battalions of the small mercenary regiment, the vulture swordsman battalion is the sharpest sharp weapon. The orc sharp eyes immediately recognized the target of the vulture swordsmen: Fanos Main.

Regarding the battalion of the vulture swordsmen, any Fanos soldiers dared not give a slight glimpse. In the battle of Xilin Island, the reason why thousands of elite phalanx squadrons annihilated and annihilated the small mercenary corps was because they missed the vulture. Swordsman's Camp-Three bowstring sounds came from the night sky where five fingers could not be reached. After a hundred battles, General Dahino was shot down to the ground with a single arrow. The sound of the bowstring sounded again hit the dancing ropes in the dark night sky. It was a blessing of luck that Lord Dahino was able to survive, and then all the officers who saw the rope being shot by an arrow at the scene were silent, including Dahino himself had to admit that he had such a sharp archer It is absolutely impossible to miss the first arrow, which is contrary to the soldiers' common sense of bow and arrow-any archer, the first arrow is the most accurate shot. It seems that the archer himself did have a subjective factor of water release at that moment. In the face of such an archer attacking in the air, even the dragon knight could not escape the disaster of one arrow.

Looking at the overwhelming seemingly to overwhelm all the knight eagles, the commander of the battle of Fanos, coach Merlin, is not sure any of them are the archers who scare all the soldiers, nor do they know that such archers are in the small mercenary regiment. The number, as a soldier, has been a lot of downplaying about his life, but once the coach is attacked, the entire army will face an irreversible disaster.

Merlin immediately released the reported Harrier, and then all the Centaur archers and human crossbowmen withdrew from the front, quickly passing the already confusing main formation and weaving a new protective net around them.

Human civilians who were attacked with swords and coercion immediately felt that the pressure behind them disappeared in an instant, and the formation collapsed in a few breaths. The civilians behind were inclined to the sides of the moat like a stream of water.

The legion on the right side of the Fanos Corps found that the city gate on the left side of the broken ice port suddenly opened. At least five Cavaliers poured into the ground like black mercury. Norton, the right-wing coach, felt that the knight force and the attack Different from the left-wing knight troops, strictly speaking, only such knight troops are the real knights. Rushing to the front is the regular knight between the heavy knight and the light knight. The 2.7-meter-long knight's gun on the tall horse stands tall. All the knights pulled off the dark masks, and the horses were at least 40% or more. It is a chain mail armor; behind these knights, there are more than one or two hundred earth walking dragons. Like all other earth walking dragons, these dragons are not covered with any armor. The various scales under the sun refract the dazzling luster, immediately The knights of Tsing Yi are unusually tall, and no one is wearing any piece of steel armor. The muscles of the two arms show that these knights will never lose to the bear warriors in terms of combat power. They are the same as the heavy infantry of Fanos. There are only two kinds of weapons wielded-black warhammer and silver battle axe, any of which is not less than 2 meters in length.

Merlin also saw changes in the right wing. These crazy knights are not much different from the knights on the north bank of the Lion River. The knight troops will undoubtedly be a problem for the right wing composed of pure infantry. At this time, we can only hope that the right-wing forces will ask for more happiness.

All the heavy infantry outside the Fanos right-wing unit quickly assembled, and the few remaining archers entered the center of the right wing in the shortest time.

What made the right-wing troops of Fanos dumbfounded was that the knights did not cherish this rare first-line chaos to give a greater blow. All knights pressed like an avalanche to the werewolf soldiers who were left out, although the werewolves who stayed behind the human warlord The warriors also have a Thousands team, but light infantry without heavy armor defense have little resistance against regular knights' charge.

The 2.7-meter-long knight's gun rarely has a thin body of a werewolf warrior, and the following dragon knights, both the knight itself and the mount, are several times more destructive than the conventional knights in front. The ground dragon has more than 10 centimeters of bone claws on the hind limbs, and the front paws are more than 20 centimeters. The long-term predation of various beasts has caused the claws of the strongest carnivores on the land to be covered with corpse poison and lying on the ground. The wolf warrior who had just evaded the knight's gun on the ground immediately had countless claw marks on his body under the sharper bone claws, especially the front dragon's front claws. The werewolf torn, the giant war axe of the mad knights cut off the werewolf's spine easily without any effort, and the heavy wind sound of the warhammer blasted the werewolf's body more than 20 meters away.

There was no suspense in the battle situation outside the city of Icebreaker. When the last ground-dragon knight passed by from the Werewolf Thousands, there was no complete body on the ground.

The knights did not pause for a moment. They shot at the left wing unit of Fanos like an arrow. The left wing unit under the enemy's back and forth tended to collapse in an instant. The unprotected body of the centaur and the werewolf could not form a strong defense. The half-orcs and bearmen soldiers who are leading the knight camp in the defense of Chi Aotian have just had time to turn around. The huge tomahawk and long sword have come to the face.

The east gate of the broken ice port opened, and black swordsmen troops rushed from the east gate and the north gate. From the periphery, the forced civilians were pressed to the city gate. The teenagers shouted in the local dialect of the northern mainland to let people out. Enter the city to take refuge.

Amy watched Daqingshan direct the mercenaries under the city walls to carry the injured civilians into the city, holding the flagpole in his hand tightly. As the highest military chief in the city, the pressure in my heart at this time is far from being understood by ordinary mercenaries. In the immediate battle, the small mercenary regiment sent almost all of its combat power. Now the main defense forces on the city walls are the Icebreaker Swordsman Battalion and residents who have no combat experience at all. The rest of the swordsman battalion was left, and all the remaining troops were taken out. It was supplemented by the four D and E small mercenary regiments permanently stationed in the ice break port.

The smooth development of the battle situation has exceeded Amy's expectations. He did not expect that the attack of the Rugged Swordsman Battalion would prompt the enemy master to mobilize almost all the long-range strike troops to defend the formation. It was this small change that allowed The enemy's right-wing troops lost their frontal defenses and eventually had to condense together; while the Fanos left-wing troops lost their back defense capabilities and the formation collapsed.

Even so, the battle situation is not optimistic. At present, there is no established team in the hands of the small mercenary regiment. At this time, if the enemy warship hits the sea port, the ice-breaking port defense system will tend to collapse; at this time, if the enemy If any large-scale cavalry forces intervene, the battle situation outside the city walls will fundamentally change. The first time he commanded such a large-scale battle, Amy could only secretly pray that the battle would end as soon as possible.

Two loud hissings suddenly sounded in the west sky, and then the thunderous sound of the air was torn apart from the sky, the calm cloud was suddenly shattered, and dozens of giant beasts flew against the sea.

Dragon!

Dragon Knight!

Not only one!

Both Amy and Horns had the worst ending in their eyes. Lv'er received a call from the Dragon God Pilot Dragon to return to the Dragon Realm to open a meeting of the Dragon Envoy. The small mercenary group will never be afraid of any dragons as before, and these dragons are even false in the intelligence The Dragon Knights are afraid that they will also deal a huge blow to the defending soldiers.

At the front of the many dragons is a golden dragon as huge as a hill. The two wings running on both sides cover the Aoyang in the sky like a golden cloud. Each time the giant wing vibrates the bowl-sized golden scales, it reflects the dazzling light. There is a black armor knight behind the neck of the dragon. Although the distance is far away, the lustrous luster on the mixed black armor proves the preciousness of the rare metal. The golden dragon gun pierced between the dragon neck and the dragon wing is at least 3 meters long, and on the other side is a giant shield about one meter wide.

The dragon knight has clearly seen the war on the ground. The golden dragon sent out a crisper dragon song. The giant wings led the huge body of wind and thunder to the battlefield. More than a dozen dragon knights also changed their directions.

Looking down at the ground in the sky, the ground is like a chessboard, and nearly 20,000 soldiers are strangled into four independent warfare groups. The right-wing troops of Fanos are the most stable, and there has not been substantial contact with the small mercenary group; the main array has been Entering a state of war; the most miserable is the front battle, where no living Fanos soldier has been seen; the most chaotic is the left wing, the formation completely collapsed, most of the soldiers are fighting alone, the imperial knights are taking The tidy battle line was arbitrarily struck.

The golden dragon soared above the left-wing troops, the dragon in the battle state exhaled the breath of breath, the earth-moving dragon on the ground immediately felt the fighting intention from the sky, and all the mad knights could feel sitting on the dragon beast The great fear revealed, the steady footsteps became staggered, the neck protruding straightly pulled, and some timid dragon beasts no longer obeyed the knight's order and fled to the surroundings in a panic.

In the sky, the dragon screamed more fiercely. The dragon's 3-meter-long dragon neck was raised beautifully and powerfully, and the two giant wings struggled to expand into the sky. Then, a dragon appeared in the mouth of the dragon. The huge golden fireball, after counting the interest, the rapidly growing fireball fired like a fire meteor falling in nine days, and the sky and earth changed color when the fireball landed, and a mushroom-shaped fire cloud suddenly rose from the ground. , The flame radiated infinitely and blazed the whole sky to hurt everyone's eyes.

After a few breaths, there was a sudden thunderous thunderous noise between heaven and earth, and everyone felt the rolling heat wave that was strongly pushed to the surroundings with the fireball landing on the ground ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ standing on the wall of the broken ice port without help The residents of Xiehoukou in Haodukou were even washed down by the heat wave.

After everything was calm during the day, the little mercenary corps who tried to open his eyes was stunned by the scene that needed to be described as "tragic": there was a round huge pit with a width of 4 meters, and the dark pit was dark. A piece of radioactive fall around the giant pit burned countless corpses. The ground was a molten iron that rolled after rolling. Some more were still burning corpses, and some more corpses fell. The sudden heat wave stripped all the clothes off the corpse, and all the dead people collapsed and fell to the ground like cooked prawns. The air was filled with pungent corpses burning foul odor.

All the soldiers stopped fighting and stared at the battlefield. At just the moment, the knight battalion directly under the empire of the ice-breaking city had been completely erased from the active army of the empire. If it wasn't for the ground dragon, the speed was slightly slower, if it wasn't for the dragon power issued by the golden dragon, the dragon was forced to flee to the outside. If the golden dragon dragon breathed and sprayed further 30 meters north, the small mercenary group had just formed The mad knight camp will also be revoked. Even so, at least two mad knights are involved in the fire.

In addition to the crackling sound of the flames that were devouring the corpses, the dead calmness on the battlefield, the dragon's explosive power was enough to make the timid people have the urge to escape.

"Your Excellency, really majestic!"

In the heat wave, an icy voice suddenly sounded, and the tone was not deliberately increased, but the cold still pierced the bone marrow of everyone on the battlefield in the breath. Both the Golden Dragon Knight and the Pseudo-Dragon Knight were amazed that other enemies could speak so calmly, ignoring the sight in front of them. 300 meters to the south, a large mass of black gas rushed on the flat ground. The sea breeze was so cold, but the black gas was not moved at all. The icy voice was exuding from the black gas.
