198. Reality
But they waited and waited until the midnight and the moon was empty, and they still didn’t see the shadow of the Legion. Finally, there was a return from the reconnaissance riding. The Salang Legion advanced all the way and hit the torch on the road. Yuanwang was like a fire dragon. After thirty miles out of the city, he suddenly changed his formation and went back! Phillips White waited most of the night.
The generals around him asked: “Lord Lord, they suddenly retreated at night. Maybe they sent Scouts to find that we have been waiting in line, they dare not fight, chase or chase?”
The Philistine glared and said: “How to chase? Do I have to lay out the army to chase fifty miles in the middle of the night? This distance just can’t catch up, when we go down the city, we are equivalent to not rest one day and one night! , Send a guard to guard at any time. “
……
In the underground hall of the fortress, Raphael is still talking to Link through the communication of the Divine Stones in the two magical arrays, only listening to Link ’s smile: “The Philistine formation is standing in the cold wind. In the middle of the night, I finally couldn’t bear to go to bed. The road was a bit far away. They were inconvenient to go back to Enlil City and backed up three miles to make a big camp. “
Raphael smiled bitterly: “This battle is very unethical. It is by no means a formal tactic. Who made the battle plan? Not like the style of Lord George.”
Linke chuckled and said: “I led the clan in the mountains many years ago to hunt those fierce beasts. That’s how it was done. I can’t fight hard with those beasts.”
Yunmeng fluttered around Raphael: “I know it’s your idea, don’t let people eat well, and don’t let people sleep well.”
Linke: “In any case, the fortress can be kept, otherwise everything is empty talk. You have a good rest and leave it to me in the middle of the night.”
……
Salem ’s army seemed to have expected that the Philistines would first attack the fortress on the road, and they could not attack it for a day. They left the city early in the morning to line up and put up their troops to fight, and then withdrew their troops to eat. Waiting for the sunset, they lined up out of the city again, posing as a frame to reinforce the fortress at night. After half of their journey, they retreated and went back to sleep, making the Philistines agonizing enough.
The soldiers who had been tired after a long day of the Giant Corps finally rested, and the Philistine sent a patrol to take turns. By the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping in the incense, the fortress where Link was in the distance suddenly shone brightly, the magical array burst into an inexplicable shot, and a huge light curtain enveloped the surrounding, a city gate opened, and General Warana led the one The distinctive cavalry rushed out.
Hundreds of soldiers also appeared on the city wall, striking war trumpets and trumpeting horns. A 100-person cavalry rushed out of the castle, led by Amon ’s guard general in that year, with all-colored armored warriors, the fighting capacity is not inferior to that of giant warriors. Although the number is not large, it is among the elite of the Salang Legion Elite.
The Giant Corps was already on alert. The Philistine had ordered to stare at the fortress. The alert Giant Warrior hurriedly pulled out his weapon and rushed forward to meet. In a hurry, a group of people turned their backs, and the torches were everywhere. Such a big movement of course disturbed the sleeping soldiers in the big camp, picked up their weapons and put on armor and drilled out of the tent, and the Philistine urgently assembled a cavalry rushed over.
Warnery surprised the brigade at first glance, and they left the horse and galloped toward the fortress. The giant warrior behind chased outside the castle, and suddenly there were countless sharp rays of light in the air. It was a counterattack launched by the Divine Artifact Formation, instantly knocking down dozens of enemies chasing before, while the cavalry out of the city was already in Divine Art Under the cover of the large array, they fled into the fortress.
The light from the large array suddenly disappeared, and Shino was dark again. Link’s tactics are not to rush to reinforce Raphael, just to prevent the Giant Legion from sleeping well, but it is also a big risk to attack the city, so the elite cavalry is sent. The scale of the battle was not large. Suddenly charged more than 20 enemies, Link also lost eight cavalry, and then closed the door silently.
The Philistine ’s nose was almost crooked, he finally figured out the tactics of Saleng City, that is, using these two strongholds ’powerful magical circle protection to contain and attack the Giant Legion, let him spend his combat power in Here. Not only is the siege combat supplies consumed, but also the physical strength and morale of the soldiers. Although the giant warrior is tough, he is not iron after all. He needs rest and encouragement to win, and he cannot be constantly restrained.
The next morning, the generals of the Giant Corps all discussed the military situation in the Philistine account. From the perspective of yesterday ’s fighting, the opponent ’s play was very rogue, and he did not want to set up a battle. The purpose is to persevere, contain, consume, and attack. However, the purpose of the Philistines was to conquer and conquer the city of Salim. The logistics of the Assyrian Kingdom turned over to the original land. The cost of logistics supplies was too high. Once a large army was launched, it must be determined quickly.
There is a choice before the Philistine-
One is to continue to attack the fortress where Raphael is located. The infantry infantry wins the first victory, cannibalizes the enemy’s vitality, and pulls out the strategic stronghold of the city. But the guard force of the fortress was beyond the expectations of the Giant Legion. One day’s fierce attack did not win. A small fortress was built in such a great magical array. Not only the great magician manage, but also the horrifying monsters, Even a girl who jumped out of the city wall was also a great warrior, and it seemed unfathomable!
If you consume too much combat power when attacking the fortress, you will be unable to continue to attack the city of Salon in a short period of time or even give the enemy a chance. The most difficult thing to judge at present is how much it will take to break the fortress. ?
The second choice is based on the assumption that the fortresses in the fortress are all elite combatants, and they happen to encounter the strongest fortress, so it may be easier to attack another fortress. But what happened in the middle of the night yesterday also clearly proves that another fortress is also protected by a magical array, and there is also a great magician manage. As for how strong its guarding power is, it is impossible to figure out without launching an offensive. Perhaps another fortress is better for attacking, and if it is successfully occupied, it can also reverse the strategic situation.
The third option is to attack the city directly. If the city of Salim puts the most important forces in the two fortresses, then the defense of the main city must be weak. Both Philistine and Lucien agreed that the city of Salim could not have the same magical array as the two fortresses.
If such a city-state wants to build a magical array of that scale, it will require a hundred years of management and countless human and material resources. Only one kingdom can bear the cost of fully opening during the war. If there are not enough great magicians and priests to take turns in the manage large array, it will not work at all. So it is easier to adjust the siege fire power under the city of Salim, to fully capture a section of the wall and rush into the city, than to attack the two fortresses.
How to choose between these three choices, the generals discussed the whole morning, and finally decided to concentrate on the fortress where Raphael was located. The reason is very simple. They have already paid a lot of money. Perhaps they will be able to break the magical array in the fortress. There is a prerequisite for continuing to attack the fortress. The fortress cannot be reinforced, and the Philistine immediately formulated a combat plan.
The armies of the Giant Corps include cavalry, chariot soldiers, sword and shield soldiers with shuttle guns, crossbowmen, and slingers. The number of their cavalry is not large, because the body of the giant warrior is too tall, and the ordinary war horses are difficult to withstand the long-distance Mercedes-Benz riding of the giant warrior. The chariot soldiers are the main armies of their array charge. Because Enlil City lacks enough horses to pull the chariots, the number of chariots is also limited.
Stone throwers are long-range combat forces, mainly used to attack city walls and strongholds, and can also bombard the formations. The crossbowmen set up a platform on the chariot to release arrows, which is also one of the tactics of siege. As for the large number of swords and shields that can be used in various occasions of combat, giant warriors can pick up heavy shields and wield long swords to fight. At the same time, each person is also equipped with a shuttle gun, which can be thrown remotely during battle.
The Philistines divided the Giant Corps into two parts. More than a thousand cavalry and sword shield soldiers formed two battle formations between the two fortresses. On the one hand, they prevented Link ’s fortress from rushing out and harassing others. The main aspect is to guard against the counterattack in the direction of Salem. The remaining crossbowmen, chariot soldiers, catapults, and hundreds of elite sword shield soldiers are all concentrated outside the fortress where Raphael is located, trying to break it in one fell swoop.
The Philistines did not immediately start the battle. The battlefield was calm the next day. He sent out the soldiers to rotate the alert. Most of the rest were resting on the spot. They had tossed all day and night, and many soldiers did n’t even feel it. Sleep well.
Just when the generals held a meeting, the reconnaissance horse reported that the Saleng Legion was out of the city again. This time it was much more than yesterday ’s movements. They moved forward outside the city, and the drums shouted and continued to kill. It’s like who really is fighting the war. When the chariot charged, they still fired all their arrows, and then sent someone to pick up the arrows that were shot on the ground, and re-arranged, and then the chariot rushed out again with the sword and shield soldiers. There are.
The Philistine was stunned when he heard the news, and then he patted the table and scolded: “Damn, even at this time, he was acting in the military formation! Why did he go there? We are not going to attack the city if we are done. ? “
Lu Sien frowned and said: “For Wuhe people, the array exercise is the best at this time. The soldiers are in danger of the situation, and it does not seem to be a hard labor in peacetime. It ’s just that the coach is brave enough. Are you not afraid to rush to fight with us? “
The Philistines scolded: “They didn’t plan to fight at all. As long as our army moved, they would definitely withdraw their troops and return to the city. They just wanted to play a defensive battle relying on Kennedy Town. Out of town yesterday was a guise and wanted to bother We are not allowed to rest. To perform a military formation outside the city today is to provoke me to give up the fortress and move forward with the army. I am not fooled by this! The subpoena continues, as long as they do not advance to thirty miles away from the city, we will ignore it. The army rests and will continue to attack the fortress tomorrow. “
There was no fighting on this day, and the Giant Legion stood by for rest. As expected by the Philistines, the Salem Legion conducted military formations outside the city. Seeing that the Philistines were not fooled, they withdrew their troops back to the city at dusk, and did not reinforce the fortress to the advance troops.
In the fortress ’s underground hall, Raphael was sinking into the water, and said to Yunmeng: “The Giant Corps has no movement on this day, just like the fist must be closed before the punch, and the most violent tomorrow will definitely be launched. Offensive. This is the key battle. The casualties must not be small. Tomorrow needs you to take the samurai up the city wall. Be careful. “
Yun Meng ’s expression is also a little nervous: “If it is really unbearable, I will send a signal to Link in advance. Link and George will attack from two directions to cover our breakout.”
Raphael shook his head and said, “If that is the case, the entire battle plan will be destroyed. In any case, I will try my best to guard it tomorrow. I have a group of **** stones here. You hand it over to the magician who assisted the city guard. The large array must be kept intact. “He reached out and grabbed it out of hand, took out a large leather pocket, and opened it to see it was full of ordinary **** stones.
Yunmeng exclaimed: “You are ambushing very deep, and even so many **** stones are hidden, even I don’t know?”
Raphael smiled faintly: “This is not the city of Salim, did you forget my origin? I am also one of the heirs of the great aristocratic family of the Hatty Kingdom. This is most of my property. A part of it was given to me by the teacher Ge Lie, saying that the key moments may be useful, and it really made him talk to the elderly. I kept it in the space ring, and this space ring was also given by the teacher. “
Yunmeng took the leather pocket and said: “I will make it clear that these are your personal wealth. In the future, when the war is won, Aesop will pay you back even with the benefits! There are spare **** stones. Well, but the magician who helped you to run the big formation can’t stand it? “
Raphael backhanded: “War is the same cruelty for both parties. The Philistine took a day to rest the siege soldiers, and the breathing time of this day is more important to our magician, tonight Take a good rest and prepare for life and death tomorrow! “
Yun Meng looked at him with admiration that couldn’t be concealed in his eyes, and suddenly grinned: “The Philistine really attacked the fortress, he didn’t know you are here. People only know that Amon is invincible, But I forgot that the great magician of the Kingdom of Hati, Gorei, used his soldiers like a god. His old man was only as lucky as God Amon. You were Goree ’s favorite disciple. He also participated in many wars with his teacher. The high priest of the Asian city-state. It’s too humiliating for you to guard a fortress. With your talents, you can be the coach of the big army! “
Raphael shook his head: “Do n’t praise me so much, I ’m too far behind the teacher. The teacher sent me here to accept the experience. Since it ’s experience, I have to face a difficult test, yes I took the initiative to ask to guard this fortress. “
……
On the third day, the most tragic war on the Duque Plains finally broke out. The Philistines concentrated all the heavy crossbowmen and catapults, and yesterday rushed the siege of flint and a large number of arrows from the city-state. This kind of tough attack and defense battle is to test the will of the two sides. The giant army began to attack with firestone in the morning, consuming the defense power of the fortress divine array.
Raphael did n’t run at full strength to resist, but extinguished the flames on the stone balls. Countless huge stone **** crossed the stone wall and smashed into the fortress. He tried his best to protect the weak parts of the city wall from being collapsed by firestone. Under the fluttering flickering firestone, Lu Sien commanded the priests to form an array to cover the sword and shield soldiers driving the ladder to the city. The giant crossbowmen also stood on the high platform, pushed forward by the chariot, and the arrows in the air were like rain, shooting the guards on the city wall.
After half a day of fierce battle, the magical lineup of the city defender has remained intact, but its strength has begun to weaken, because the magicians who assisted Raphael to operate the large lineup are tired after repeated rotations. In the afternoon, the Giant Swords and Shields finally rushed to the city wall, and the first was the former commander of the Giant Legion, Ju Fei, the Seventh Level warrior.
There were six Amon guards in the fortress, and now they are the generals of the Saleng city. Yunmeng led the six generals and all the reserve forces in the city to the wall. Raphael could only launch a large formation to prevent more reinforcements from rushing down the city, and Lu Sien led the priests of the Giant Legion, and also attacked the magical array to break through the siege gap.
Yun Meng transformed the prototype of an armored beast on the city wall. The hard scale arrows were difficult to enter, and the claws and long tails swept sharply. Jufei struggled hard to resist Yunmeng, and a melee was formed on the city wall. This fierce battle continued until dusk.
Because the siege was made in the gap where the protective magic circle was torn, it was impossible to deploy too much troops. The Philistines concentrated all the heavy crossbowmen in volley cover, and the sword and shield soldiers attacked in turn. Hundreds of feet of the city wall paid the price of 200 casualties. As for the soldiers who defended the city, more than 200 people were killed. The rest were wounded, only light or heavy. The giant corps ’catapult ran out almost all the flints stored in the camp, including the one that had just been transported from Enlil City yesterday, and there were few arrows left by the giant crossbowmen. In the end, it had become a clergy cover knife The shield hand rushed into the city for a melee fight.
Why does the Philistine cost so much? Because in the future he was already in trouble. There was always an idea in his heart that had reached this level, and the fortress was almost won. As long as there was another wave of attack, it was like crushing the last straw of the camel, but the camel never died.
He always thought this way in the morning, and he still thought it this way at noon, and he ended up hitting the dusk. There were no more firestones and heavy crossbow arrows available. Within the wall of the fortress, all the weak buildings were smashed, but the wall was still there. The Philistines also saw their own disadvantages. If they could not break the Divine Array and open a gap in the city wall, the sword and shield soldiers would fight against the city with a long ladder.
He wanted to reverse this disadvantage but was unsuccessful. In the end, the strength of the fortress divine array had been reduced to the weakest, but the front defense of the city wall was integrated into one body, protecting the city wall. The offensive and defensive battle ended with Jufei swept down the city by Yunmeng’s tail. The previous commander was seriously injured and the giant soldiers who rushed to the wall were all killed in battle.
The plan of the Giant Army to capture the fortress failed, and the armored beast formed by Yunmeng was also scarred. At the last moment of the fierce battle, there were four large armored beasts on the city wall to assist Yunmeng to fight together, and then barely stabilized the situation. RO
