Proof of the Sun King

Vol 4 Chapter 1098: , battling the swamp

In the year 2520 of the imperial calendar, a decisive battle began in a swamp ten kilometers outside Newland.

It was still raining in the sky, and the army of King Harold of Orbian seemed to have been accustomed to the endless rainy season of Orbian.

Because in the center of the battlefield between the two sides is a large swamp, which is extremely muddy and there is no road. No matter who, the party who takes the initiative to attack is bound to endure a difficult offensive battle.

What's more troublesome is that there are a large number of monster war gangs in Harold's army. These monster war gangs command chaos but are ferocious. Due to the addition of Tzeentch's army, Harold has more than the army of Knight Road. the sorcerer.

The proud knights of the Bretons could not rush through the swamps for detours, and they had to confront the barbarians head-on, and this was what Harold hoped. Once caught in a large-scale melee battle, the barbarians could People are clearly more dominant than the Bretons.

As for the other side of the battlefield, Ryan, who was riding the Griffin Imperius, was also observing Harold's formation.

"The barbarians put the army in two lines, and the central army forms an extremely tight shield wall." Ryan said to the marshals: "The two wings are a large group of monster war gangs, while the most elite barbarian champion warriors and Tzeentch wizards hide at the end."

"Your Majesty, if we attack, we must face the strong shield wall of the barbarians and the attack of chaos magic." Francois said to Lane: "If we rush to the front of the shield wall, we are bound to face the barbarians who are best at it. melee combat, it's not good for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not good for us." Callard also said.

"Yeah." Ryan looked at Harold's army from afar. Due to Obiang's special terrain and strange weather, the advantages of the Knights Road army could not be exerted, including artillery, and naturally also knight assault. The barbarian in front of him was very will choose a place.

However, the Knights Road army also has its own advantages.

First of all, although the troops under Ryan's command came from the major principalities of Brittany, the vast majority of them were professional or semi-professional soldiers, and many serf infantry regiments, no matter how bad they were, had participated in many wars and had a wealth of operations. experience.

And in terms of military equipment and weapons alone, the equipment of Brittanian soldiers is not comparable to the barbarian army. Most of the barbarians only have cloth and leather armor as protective gear, and the Brittanian army is even a serf infantry. They are also equipped with breastplates and leather armors, and the elites have chain armors and scale armors, and everyone wears iron helmets.

Secondly, although the muskets are out of use, the Brittanian army is still equipped with thousands of archers and crossbowmen, a dozen mortars have also been pulled out and are being reloaded, and those Brittany The sub-knights, in fact, although the muddy swamp made it difficult for the knights to play their role, Ryan held a scroll of magic crafted by Morgiana in his hand.

Eight-ring magic, galloping in the clouds.

Then the problem is simple.

Lane ordered that the army was divided into three parts, the left wing was commanded by François, the right wing was commanded by Callard, his own Royal Guard and Davout's Mousillon Corps were the central army, forming a three-line formation like ancient Rome. , the archers in the front, the infantry in the back, and the heavy cavalry and the old guard in the back.

Right in the dank drizzle of Obiang, war was about to break out.

The thick fog unique to Obiang made it difficult to see clearly, and even the barbarian army in the distance was looming, so he focused his attention on the Nord Marine Corps. This elite unit is no better than Britta. Many of Nia's armies are stronger, but there's something special about this Marine Corps.

They are particularly good at fighting the enemy in beaches, storms, rainy seasons and swamps, which are almost all on Obian Island, so Lane specially named this army to support.

The general of the Nord Marine Corps is named Sigurdsson, nicknamed Nord "Cannon". He is said to be brave in battle and has a hot temper. This is a veteran. His temples are slightly frosted, who is he? I don't know how many generals he is in this army. The only thing that is certain is that the old general is not willing to obey Ryan's orders.

"You don't seem to be optimistic about our war?" Ryan rode down from the sky on a griffin, and then asked Sigurdsson, "Do you think we will lose?"

"We won't lose, I'm just tired." Sigurdsson shook his head: "Very tired."

"Tired? In fact, I think we are the energetic ones. The barbarians on the opposite side marched 120-150 kilometers in 4 days and came to us, but we rested for 4 days, and your Nord army also rested for 2 days. Why are you tired?" Ryan asked casually.

"If it's just a fight, we're full of energy." Sigurdsson breathed out, his beard was wet with the rain: "But if it's Nord, you know, in your Breeze We Nords and these **** barbarians were already fighting this war before the Tani came, we don't need your orders, we know how to win it ourselves."

Ryan sighed and didn't know what to say, while Marshal Rokossovsky came to Ryan's side, and Luo Shuai said lightly: "So do we, Your Majesty, Mrs. Keisler and Ugor People have been fighting barbarians for over a thousand years just to survive."

"But before that!" Rokossovsky suddenly drew his sword and put it on Sigurdsson's throat, Luo Shuai's expression became extremely serious and even hated: "Nord, I don't You are allowed to speak thus to the great King of Knights."

"What? Ugor people, you want to kill me?" General Sigurdsson also drew his sword: "Then you can come, I know you, Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokoso Fsky, Nord has your name, so do you want to try it?"

"Enough! General Sigurdsson." Ryan only looked down at the Nord general: "Listen to my order, don't let me say it a second time!"

An unfounded fear almost engulfed the soul of this Nord general. He could feel the substantive coercion coming from the Sun King. The old general could be sure that if he really did not obey the order, Ryan really kill him.

"Let your marines wait for my order." Ryan said coldly.

Sigurdsson nodded silently.

Then, the king of knights signaled the horn to sound.

Right under the early morning sun, the battle begins!

The serf archers, longbowmen, and crossbowmen of Brittany trudged through the marshes to the rhythm of the drums and the orders of the knights, their ranks scattered but not chaotic, and on the way of the knights. Opposite the army, the barbarians formed what may be the tightest shield wall in history. They used round shields to cover the front and the top. Under the rain and dense fog, it was like a small city wall. It looked like a small city wall. indestructible.

One row, two rows, three rows, the incomparably dense shield walls were lined up in full rows, and the barbarian warriors were closely united under Harold's order, and they did not intend to give the Bretons any chance.

"put!"

"Fire arrows!"

The dense rain of arrows flew towards the barbarian's huge shield wall, and most of the thrown arrows hit the shield and bounced off. Obviously, bows and crossbows had no effect on this tortoise shell formation.

"Let the archers stop shooting arrows." Ryan then ordered: "Let the soldiers press on!"

"Veronica! Look at you." Ryan shouted at Veronica.

Veronica nodded. She stood on her own light magic vehicle and began to condense magic. Due to the short time and terrain reasons, Veronica's light magic vehicle has not been refitted to the Land Cruiser for the time being. Ryan has to be glad It was the right decision, as the Obiang Land Cruiser would struggle to function.

At the same time, under the operation of the engineer, more than a dozen mortars began to fire towards the shield wall of the barbarians. In the whistling wind, the fragmentation bombs flew into the air, drawing a perfect parabola.

"Boom!" The explosion blasted a few small holes in the barbarian's shield wall, but at this time the Breton army was still a considerable distance away from the barbarian's shield wall. Chaos wizards cast spells one after another. Chaos magic blocked the power of mortars and strengthened the defense of the shield wall. Hundreds of magical light bombs rang out for the soldiers advancing. Then, Veronica's witches began to play their role. The magical duel between the two sides went back and forth in the sky.

Under this pressure, the infantry marched slowly, two or three hundred meters. They walked in the muddy swamp for nearly half an hour. When the Brittanian army approached the shield wall of the barbarians from three directions against the shield At that time, there was a commotion among the barbarians, and hundreds of berserkers and barbarian warriors couldn't help rushing out of the shield wall to compete with the **** Nankees.

"Steady! Don't move!" Harold rode a Norsca warhorse and galloped into the array. He loudly ordered his army not to move casually. The barbarians reluctantly obeyed his orders and decided to use javelins and The flying axe fought back, and while staying still, the Bretons who rushed in front were knocked down by the flying axe and javelin, and the soldiers who were eager for military exploits continued to charge up, blocking the throwing weapons with their shields, and became a barbarian. When the people roared in unison in praise of the Four Gods of Chaos, the Bretons finally began to take their steps.

Like a fist of steel, the Brittanian army smashed into the rows of shield walls of the barbarians.

"It's started!" Ryan said silently.

The battle was in the heat of the battle from the start, the brave Bretons knew their king was watching, the clanging of weapons against the shield wall tinkled across the battlefield, then stabbed into flesh, spears smashed Shields and swords cut through the armor, the halberdiers used the sharp halberds to cut open the wooden shields of the barbarians, and the battle axes of the barbarians left a deep impression on the breastplates of the Bretons. In the depression, the two sides fought together, and along the two-kilometer-long front, the two sides engaged in full battle.

Not only does this fight seem a bit boring, the battle between the two sides is like the purest war of attrition.

But there is no other way, there is no other option to fight in the swamp.

"I now suspect that this Harold must have gone to Rome to be a barbarian court guard." Ryan said to Rokossovsky, who was standing beside him: "This tortoise shell is really skilled."

Rokossovsky didn't quite understand what Rome was, but he knew what the tortoise shell and palace guards were, so the marshal replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the tortoise shell is only useful in certain situations, now we just need to let our The army is constantly pressing up, and the barbarians cannot resist our attack."

"But we need to pay more casualties." Ryan seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons.

"What we need now is patience." Luo Shuai did not follow Ryan's words, but turned his attention to the battlefield.

The loud "Marseillaise" military song gradually overwhelmed the barbarian people's battle roar. After more than half an hour of fighting, the Bretons began to gradually gain the upper hand. The soldiers brought by Lane were all brave and skilled veterans. , under the command of François and Callard, they advanced steadily and fought steadily, forcing the barbarians to gradually retreat. Each explosion of mortar fire could cost the barbarians more than a dozen lives. Some barbarian champions used Great swords and great axes swept across the battlefield, and their presence once made the balance of the battlefield sway back and forth.

It's just that the number of barbarian champions is far less than that. Francois waved his hand coldly, and the Winford Unicorn Guard appeared. These duchy elites used halberds and great swords to advance together, and chopped the barbarian champions into flesh. .

"Flame Skull!" A flame skull more than ten meters in size burned through an entire row of shield walls. Veronica's magic was activated. The witch group successfully suppressed the magic of the Chaos wizards. The female speaker stood on the top of the light demon. Then cast the spell.

"Meteorite!" The meteorite with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded in the barbarian army formation, and an entire shield wall was smashed. The barbarians still tried their best to maintain their defense lines, but after Veronica's indiscriminate bombardment Then, their poor discipline finally started to show some small problems, and many young and stormy barbarian warriors and berserkers forgot Harold's orders and rushed out of the otherwise tight formation, perhaps in the hope of being able to pass the Dreadnought. The charge reversed the situation, but it didn't help them at all, instead it threw their army into chaos, and these reckless idiots not only gave their lives in vain, but even disrupted their own lines.

Ryan watched this scene with satisfaction. The king of knights knew that the blood and courage of the barbarians would not help them in this war, but would make them fall into the swamp and become lambs to be slaughtered. When ordering to send more troops to launch a fatal blow, a dragon roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and a chaotic dragon rushed out of the thick fog and rain in Obiang and charged directly towards the Breton army formation. !

"dragon!"

"It's a dragon!"

The Chaos Demon Dragon swept past from a low altitude, and it spit out the dark red Chaos Dragon Breath. In an instant, hundreds of Brittanians were devoured by the flames and turned into coke.

The Chosen by Tzeentch, the former Grand Mage of the Academy of Light of the Empire, Egrim von Horstmann has come to the battlefield!

The mighty Tzeentch Divine Chosen laughed wildly and showed the Chaos Dragon that Tzeentch had given him. He raised his staff, and a multi-colored flame storm instantly engulfed an entire company of Breton halberdists. Breton The demi-humans changed from a neat and orderly formation to a group of chaotic individuals in an instant. Harold got breathing space, and he quickly ordered the army to regroup.

However, when Egrim von Horstmann tried to use his spells again to expand his victory, Ryan, riding the Griffon Imperius, had appeared in front of him.

Sky-blue psionic energy enveloped Egrim's body, and a star dragon emerged from the void. Its eyes were like electricity, and pale flames burned on its sharp claws, snapping the Chaos Dragon away.

Egrim did not dare to neglect, he screamed loudly, released a colorful chain of a thousand ravens and a hundred Tzeentch flames, and went straight to Ryan.

Ryan easily reached out and squeezed the hundred chains in his palm. The flames of Tzeentch on the multicolored chains made his palms sizzle and even scorched black. However, as he clenched the chains tightly, Egrim was horrified to discover the multicolored chains. The chain was losing control, and the power of Tzeentch on it was gradually transformed into pure and dazzling purifying spiritual energy. At the same time, Ryan condensed his power, and ten bald eagles flew out from the light and shadow behind him, preying and hunting as much as they wanted. The raven that killed Egrim.

Tsianqi Shenchou quickly gave up the multicolored chains, and he injected his soul and power into the raven, and his body turned into three phantoms, each of which merged into the psychedelic and smoke of the warp.

Ryan's calm face did not show any confusion. He recited the ancient mysterious language in his mouth. With his fingers connected, three mysterious ancient sage runes were spit out from his mouth. Each rune suppressed the original violent magic. The wind, the flames of Tzeentch kept retreating under the power of the runes, and one after another, the lightning bolts of punishment and the light of the stars bombarded the surface of Egrim's soul, each rune corresponding to a phantom.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Egrim's seven orifices spurted black blood. He struggled in agony. His soul turned into ashes under the bombardment of Ryan's wave after wave~www.wuxiaspot.com ~Like ice cubes under the sun, layer by layer dissolving.

"It's over." Unconsciously, the five Grey Knight recruits had already taken their positions. They recited the Emperor's holy name together. The five psychic punishments blocked Egrim's retreat. The azure-blue ravens chosen by the gods fell from the sky like raindrops, and were slaughtered by the bald eagles and turned into nothingness. A large amount of black blood spurted out of the seven orifices of the gods and melted, and Egrim was still struggling. At the time, Ryan had already used his psionic energy to condense a silver-colored light spear.

Tzeentch was about to escape, and Ryan's time domain had already enveloped him. A long river of time belonging to the Grey Knight Primarch imprisoned Egrim. The silver light spear struck, and Egrim struggled to use his sword and staff. To resist: "Don't even think about it!"

The magic sword and long staff were instantly shattered, the burning ashes swirled in the air, the light spear penetrated Egrim's body, the purification spirit was injected into his body, and his flesh and bones melted in the dazzling light. , together with his soul, turned into nothingness: "No...it can't be like this..."

The black unknown metal that made up the Chaos Curse Plate Armor melted and flowed down with the disappearance of the lance, bubbling hot.

The whole process only took five minutes, and Tzeentch chose Egrim von Horstmann, the former Archmage of Light who had caused countless disasters and losses to the empire, and killed Obiang.

The Chaos Demon Dragon fled in a panic, realizing that it could not be the opponent of the **** enemy in front of him.

After successfully solving Egrim, Ryan focused his attention on the battlefield again. The Sun King raised Thor's hammer, and the psionic beam shot straight into the sky.

The dark clouds faded, the rain stopped suddenly, and the sun fell over Obiang's sky after a long absence.

As the war continued, Ryan immediately ordered that the second echelon and Davout's Musillon Army go into battle.
