Warhammer Throne
Chapter 1098: , Fighting the swamp
In 2520 of the imperial calendar, a decisive battle began in a swamp ten kilometers away from Newland.
It was still raining in the sky, and the army of King Harold of Obian seemed to have been used to the endless rainy season of Obian. When the two armies lined up and tried to enter the battlefield, no one took the initiative to attack.
Because what lies in the center of the battlefield of both sides is a large swamp, extremely muddy and there is no road, no matter who it is, the one who initiates the 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 have chaotic command but fierce combat power. Due to the addition of the Tecchi army, Harold has more than the Knights’ army. Wizard.
The Bretons’ proud knights can’t rush through the swamp to make roundabouts. They must confront the barbarians head-on, and this is what Harold hopes. Once caught in a large-scale close battle, the barbarians People are obviously more dominant than Bretonians.
As for the other side of the battlefield, Ryan, who was riding Griffon Imprison, was also observing Harold's formation.
"The barbarian generals line up in two lines, and the Chinese army has formed an extremely tight shield wall." Lane said to the marshals: "The two wings are a large group of monsters, and the most elite barbarian champions and warriors are hiding. 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 Ryan: "If we rush to the front of the shield wall, we are bound to face the barbarians best at it. Melee melee combat, which is not good for us."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not good for us." Kalad also said.
"Yeah." Ryan looked at Harold's army in the distance. Due to Obian's special terrain and strange weather, the advantages of the knightly army could not be used, including artillery, and naturally also the knight shock. The barbarian in front of him is very Will choose a place.
However, the Chivalry Army also has its own advantages.
First of all, although Ryan's army comes from the major duchy of Brittania, most of them are professional or semi-professional soldiers. Many serf infantry regiments have participated in many wars and have rich combat operations. Experience.
Moreover, when it comes to military equipment and weapons alone, the equipment of the Bretonian soldiers is not comparable to that of the barbarian army. Under the fact that most of the barbarian people only have cloth and leather armor as protective equipment, the Bretonian army is even a serf infantry. Also equipped with chest armor and leather armor, the elites have chain armor and scale armor, and everyone wears iron helmets.
Secondly, although the muskets are not usable, the Breton army is still equipped with thousands of archers and crossbowmen. A dozen mortars have also been pulled out, and they are preparing to load ammunition, as well as those Bretons. Sub-knights, in fact, although the muddy swamp makes it difficult for the knights to play a role, Lion's hand holds the magical scroll carefully crafted by Morjana.
Eight-ring magic, galloping in the clouds.
Then the problem is very simple.
Ryan ordered the army to be divided into three parts. The left wing was commanded by François, and the right wing was commanded by Calade. His Royal Guards and Davu’s Musilon Army were the Chinese army, forming a three-line formation like ancient Rome. , The archers are at the front, the infantry are at the back, the heavy cavalry and the old guards are at the end.
In the cold drizzle of Orbien, war was about to start.
Orbien’s unique dense fog made his vision unclear, and even the barbarian army in the distance was looming, so he focused his attention on the Nord Marines. This elite force is not more than Bretta. Many of the Nia’s troops are stronger, but this Marine Corps has a special place.
They are particularly good at fighting the enemy in beaches, storms, rainy seasons, and swamps, which are almost all on Obian Island, so Ryan specially named them to support this army.
The general of the Nord Marine Corps was named Sigurdsson, and his nickname was Nord's "Cannon." He said that he was brave in battle and that he had a fiery temper. This is a veteran. His sideburns are slightly frosted, who I don't know which general he was in this army. The only certainty is that this old general is reluctant to obey Ryan's orders. He was ordered to line up in the second line, and he seemed a little unbelievable.
"You don't seem to be optimistic about our war?" Ryan rode down from the sky on a griffin, and then asked West Goodson, "Do you think we will lose?"
"We won't lose, I just feel tired." Si Gudson shook his head: "Very tired."
"Tired? In fact, I think we are the energetic side. The barbarians on the opposite side rushed for 120-150 kilometers and came in front of us in 4 days, but we rested for 4 days, and your Nords also rested for 2 days. Why are you tired?" Ryan asked casually.
"If it's just a battle, we are full of energy." Si Gudson exhaled, his beard has been wet by the rain: "But if for Nord, do you know that, in your lineup? Before the Tani appeared, we Nords and these damned barbarians were already fighting this war. We don't need your orders. We ourselves know how to win this war."
Ryan sighed and didn't know what to say, and Marshal Rokosovsky came to Ryan's side, and Luo Shuai said indifferently: "The same is true for us, Your Majesty, Mrs. Kiesler and Ugol. People have been fighting the barbarians for more than a thousand years, just to survive."
"But before this!" Rokosovsky suddenly drew his sword and pressed it against Si Gudson's throat. Luo Shuai's expression became extremely serious and even hateful: "Nord, I don't Allow you to speak this way to the great knight king."
"Why? Ugol, do you want to kill me?" General Sigudson also drew out his sword: "Then you come, I know you, Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokoso Kowski, Nord has your name, so do you want to try it?"
"Enough! General Sigurdson." Ryan only looked down at the General Nord: "Listen to my order, don't let me say it a second time!"
An unfounded fear almost swallowed the soul of the General Nord. He could feel the substantive coercion from the Sun King body. The old general was certain that if he really did not obey the order, Ryan Will really kill him.
"Let your Marines wait for my orders." Ryan said coldly.
Sigurdson nodded silently.
Then, the Knight King motioned for the horn to sound.
Just under the early morning sun, the battle began!
The serf archers, longbowmen and crossbowmen of Brittany marched hard in the swamp in the order of neat drums and the orders of the knight masters. Their ranks were a little scattered but did not appear chaotic, but in the chivalry. Opposite the army, the barbarians formed the tightest shield wall in history. They used round shields to cover the front and above. Under the rain and thick fog, it looked like a small city wall. indestructible.
One row, two rows, three rows, the extremely dense shield walls lined up in full rows, the barbarian warriors united closely under the order of Harold, and did not intend to give the Bretons any chance.
"put!"
"Let's release the arrow!"
The dense rain of arrows flew toward the huge shield wall of the barbarians, and most of the arrows that were thrown 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! It's up to you." Ryan called to Veronica.
Veronica nodded. She stood on top of her light magic vehicle and began to condense magic. Due to the short time and terrain, Veronica’s light magic vehicle has not been converted to the land cruiser for the time being. Ryan had to be thankful. This is a correct decision, because the land cruiser in the ghost place of Orbien will not be able to function.
At the same time, more than a dozen mortars were fired towards the shield wall of the barbarians under the operation of the engineers. Amidst the whirring wind, fragment bombs flew into the air, drawing a perfect parabola.
"Boom!" The explosion opened a few small holes in the barbarian shield wall, but at this time the Breton army was still a considerable distance from the barbarian shield wall. Chaos wizards cast spells one after another. Chaos magic blocked the power of the mortar and strengthened the defense of the shield wall. Hundreds of magical light bullets blasted the soldiers forward. Then, the witches of Veronica began to play a role. The magic duel between the two sides went back and forth in the sky.
The infantry marched slowly under this pressure. They walked two or three hundred meters in the muddy swamp for nearly half an hour, when the Bretons approached the barbarian shield wall with shields from three directions. At that time, there was a commotion among the barbarians, and hundreds of berserkers and barbarian warriors could not help but rush out of the shield wall to fight the **** Nanke.
"Stay! Don't move!" Harold rode a Norsca horse into the array. He loudly ordered his army not to move randomly. The barbarians reluctantly followed his orders and decided to use the javelin and The flying axe fought back. While staying still in place, the Bretons who rushed in front were knocked down by the flying axe and javelin. The soldiers eager for military service from behind continued to rush forward, blocking the throwing weapons with their shields and acting as barbarians. When people roared in unison in praise of the Four Chaos Gods, the Bretons finally began to take their steps. The swordsmen clenched their long swords, the lancers lowered their weight, and the halberds straightened their chests.
Like a fist of steel, the Breton army smashed against the shield walls of the barbarians.
"It's started!" Ryan said silently.
The battle was heated from the beginning. The brave Bretons knew that their king was watching them. The sound of weapons hitting the shield wall clanged on the battlefield one after another, and then pierced into the flesh and spears hit. Shields and swords cut through the armor. The halberds used sharp halberds and halberds to split the barbarian’s wooden shield. The barbarian’s battle axe left a deep impression on the Breton’s breastplate. The two sides fought in a group, and along the two-kilometer-long line, the two sides fought in full.
Not only does it seem a bit boring to fight like this, the fighting between the two sides is like the purest war of attrition.
But there is no other way, there is no other choice to fight in the swamp.
"I now suspect that this Harold must have gone to Rome as a barbarian court guard." Ryan said to Rokosovsky, who was standing next to him, "This tortoise formation is really skilled."
Rokosovsky did not understand what Rome was, but he knew what the tortoise shells and court guards were, so the marshal replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the tortoise shells are only easy to use under certain circumstances. Now we only need to let our The army kept pressing on, and the barbarians could not withstand our attack."
"But this way we need to pay more casualties." Ryan seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons.
"What we need now is patience." Luo Shuai didn't follow Ryan's words, but cast his eyes on the battlefield.
The brilliant "Marseillaise" military song gradually overwhelmed the roar of the barbarians. After fighting for more than half an hour, the Bretons began to gain an advantage. The soldiers that Ryan brought were all brave veterans. , Under the command of François and Calade, they steadily advance, steadily fight, and force the barbarians to gradually retreat. Each explosion of the mortar can cost the barbarians more than a dozen lives. Some barbarian champions use it. The great sword and great axe swept across the battlefield, and their appearance once made the balance of the battlefield swing back and forth.
It's just that the number of barbarian champions is far from so many. François waved his hand coldly, and the Weinford Unicorn Guard appeared. These elites of the principality used halberds and big swords to advance together, cutting the barbarian champions into flesh. .
"The Skull of Flame!" A flame skeleton over ten meters in size burned through a whole 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 light demon. Then cast a spell.
"Meteorology!" A meteorite with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded in the barbarian army, and the entire shield wall was shattered. The barbarians still did their best to maintain their defense line, but in the indiscriminate bombing of Veronica Finally, their poor discipline began to show some minor problems. Many young and stormy barbarian warriors and berserkers forgot Harold’s orders and rushed out of the originally tight array. They may hope that they can pass the fearless The charge reversed the situation, but it didn't help them at all, and instead plunged their army into chaos. These reckless idiots not only cost their lives in vain, but even disrupted their own front.
Ryan watched this scene with satisfaction. The knight king knew that the blood and courage of the barbarians would not only help them in this war, but would make them fall into the swamp and become lambs to be slaughtered, but Ryan planned When more troops were ordered to launch a fatal blow, a dragon roar suddenly came from the sky, and a chaotic dragon rushed out of the thick fog and rain in Orbien and rushed directly towards the Breton army. !
"Dragon!"
"It's a dragon!"
The Chaos Demon Dragon passed by from low altitude, and it spit out the dark red breath of the Chaos Dragon. In an instant, hundreds of Bretons were swallowed by the flames and turned into charcoal.
The treacherous god, the former empire's former Bright Master of the Guangming Academy, Egrim von Horstmann, descends on the battlefield!
The powerful Tricky God Chosen laughed wildly and showed the Chaos Dragon that Tricky had bestowed on him. He raised his staff, and a multicolored flame storm instantly engulfed a company of Bretonian halberds, Brittany. Yaren instantly changed from a neat and orderly army into a group of chaotic individuals. Harold got a breathing space, and he quickly ordered the army to reorganize.
However, when Egrim von Horstmann tried to use spells to expand his victory again, Ryan, riding the Griffin Impris, had already appeared in front of him.
The sky-blue psychic energy enveloped Egrim's body, and a star dragon emerged from the void, its eyes were like electricity, and its claws were burning with pale flames, and it snapped away the chaos dragon.
Egrim didn't dare to neglect, he screamed loudly, released a multicolored chain composed of a thousand ravens and a hundred treacherous flames, and went straight to Ryan.
Ryan easily stretched out his hand to pinch a hundred chains in his palm, and the strange flames on the colorful chains made his palms sizzle, even a little scorched, but as he gripped the chains tightly, Egrim was horrified to find the colorful The chain was losing control, and the power of the strange creature on it was gradually transformed into pure and dazzling purifying power. At the same time, Ryan condensed his power. Ten bald eagles flew out of the light and shadow behind him, preying and hunting as much as they wanted. The raven that killed Egrim.
Tricky God chose to give up the colorful chains quickly, he injected his soul and power into the raven, and his body turned into three phantoms, each phantom integrated into the psychedelic and smoke of the subspace.
Ryan's calm face did not show any trace of confusion. He was chanting ancient mysterious language, and he clicked his fingers. Three mysterious ancient sacred runes spit out from his mouth. Each rune suppressed the original violent magic. The wind and the treacherous flames were constantly retreating under the power of the runes, one after another, the disciplinary lightning and the light of the stars bombarded the surface of Egrim's soul, each rune corresponding to a phantom.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) The ice cubes dissolve layer by layer.
"It's over." Unknowingly at this time, the five Grey Knight recruits had taken the correct position. Together, they recited the emperor's holy name. The blue raven of the Chosen God fell from the sky like raindrops, and was slaughtered by the bald eagle into nothingness. A large amount of black blood spurted from the seven orifices of the Chosen God and melted. Egrim was still struggling. At the time, Ryan had used his psychic energy to condense a light spear full of silver.
The treacherous **** is about to escape. Ryan’s time domain has enveloped him. A long river of time belonging to the original gray knight imprisoned Egrim. The silver light spear struck, and Egrim tried hard to use the sword and the staff. To resist: "Don't think about it!"
The magic sword and the long staff were instantly shattered, the burning ashes revolved in the air, the light spear penetrated Egrim's body, the purification spirit could be 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 unidentified metal that made up the Chaos Curse plate armor melted and flowed down with the disappearance of the light spear, bubbling hotly.
The entire process took only five minutes. The strange **** chose Egrim von Horstmann, the former Bright Master who had caused countless disasters and losses to the empire, and ordered Obien to fall.
The Chaos Demon Dragon fled in a hurry, and realized that it could not be the opponent of the enemy of God in front of it.
After successfully solving Egrim, Ryan refocused his attention on the battlefield, and the Sun King raised the Thor's Hammer, and the psychic beam shot straight into the sky.
The dark clouds faded, the rain stopped abruptly, and the sun fell on the sky of Orbien for a long time.
The war continued, and Ryan immediately ordered that the second echelon and Davu's Musilon army went into battle.
