Salin tried several times, but the contract with the second king Lan did not produce any reversal. Mi knew in his heart that the contract's ability to control Gen had begun to loosen. wWW. QuANbEn-XiAoShUo. coMIf the three kings are discussing with others to plot against themselves, they will not be able to sense it. This made Salin completely determined to get rid of the Three Kings.
Rules are not easy to use. Only rules that are in your hands are irreversible. The Three Kings are so powerful. After being controlled by himself and Aini for so long, it was almost over. If it were the other way around, he would have been killed by the three kings long ago in the plane of the undead.
Saleen still had things to worry about regarding the war, so a building was built east of the temple. These temporary buildings are where Salin used to build equipment.
Although Rex took away a large number of mages. But Saleen left behind many magic apprentices and first-level mages. These people had low survivability on the battlefield, and Rex did not take them with him. However, these people can control the magic circle and help refine armor.
Saleen's soldiers were inferior to the Holy See's troops in combat effectiveness. I just had to think of ways to improve the equipment. The Demon God Armor cannot be used by humans, but Saleen has some drawings given to him by Rex, and with his own redesign, he can build a large number of equipment.
Salin's order to Broken Edge Pass was to defend Broken Edge Pass for three days. Due to the geographical location of Broken Edge Pass, it stands to reason that it would not be attacked from both sides. However, Salin still sent out his only heavy cavalry and set up a defense line east of Duanrenguan Pass.
Broken Edge Pass was built at the break of a north-south mountain range. This mountain range almost reached the northernmost part of the Mels continent, and was still more than a thousand miles away from Metatrin City. If the Holy See's army wants to bypass the Broken Edge Pass, they have to walk an extra three thousand miles inside and outside. At the speed of the Holy See army. If all cavalry is used, it will take more than half a month.
Salin was just worried that the light infantry in the Holy See army would cross the mountains and cut off the retreat route of Duolenguan behind them. Although it is extremely difficult to climb a mountain thousands of meters high, Salin does not want to take the risk. Because the width of this north-south mountain range in this section is less than fifty miles.
The fifty-mile mountain road is not insurmountable if a magician blesses the soldiers with magic. At most, some soldiers would be lost. This kind of thing would not be considered by the higher-ups of the Holy See. Send three thousand people over the mountain. Being able to survive a thousand people would be a huge threat to the retreat from Broken Edge Pass.
Salin also sent Tris over for "this pound". To cooperate with Tris was a newly promoted fourth-level magician. Two hundred heavy cavalry, four hundred light cavalry, plus four hundred Caucasians, at the Broken Blade Pass After patrolling the enemy, whenever they are discovered, they will be entangled with light cavalry and charged with heavy cavalry.
It was one hundred and eighty miles from Duanrenguan to Xizhen. Even if they were all infantry, as long as they had enough vehicles, it would only be a half-day's rush march. The vehicles were completely destroyed and there were no horses. The soldiers could retreat in a day, as long as there were no enemy attacks in the middle. The first thing Salin's army practiced was rapid marching.
If you can't beat him, you have to retreat. This is Salin's way of preserving his strength.
Salin's move didn't work. On the front side of Broken Edge Pass, the battle has become indescribably fierce. The Holy See army did not even think about crossing the mountains and ridges, sending infantry to harass them and then abandon them. From the perspective of the Holy See army, it was only a matter of time before one hundred thousand people attacked a city gate.
In fact, this was also the case. Salin's second battalion occupied an absolute terrain advantage. The Caucasians in the mountains on both sides did not find any signs of penetration, and the Holy See's army violently attacked the front.
Regardless of casualties, this word can only be used to describe the Holy See's attack.
It was impossible for the expeditionary army's chariots to suppress the archery tower at the top of the city. The two sides fired at each other, and the soldiers at the top of the city could easily throw arrows downwards.
The battering ram was pushed to the bottom of the city several times, and the city also sent daredevils to destroy the battering ram several times and throw stones from the top of the city. Destroy the battering ram. Both sides suffered heavy casualties for this. As many as 2,000 soldiers died in the battle at Duanren Pass, which occupies a favorable location, and the Holy See lost more than 5,000 people in the battle at the city gate. This section is less than 500 meters, which shows the intensity of the battle.
Counting the mercenaries in Broken Edge Pass, there were only over 20,000 dead, and 2,000 of them died. They no longer dared to go out to attack, so they had to block the city gate. The city gate was blocked, and the Holy See's troops began to attack the city in full force, using ladders to attack the city. There is nothing that can be done in the city. During several attacks out of the city, they were overwhelmed by the enemy's heavy cavalry, and most of the daredevils who left the city were killed. If the city gate is not blocked, this war of attrition will continue.
In this way, it will be a fierce battle for the city wall. Duanrenguan is composed of two city walls. The second city wall is five meters higher than the first one, and the distance between them is only 80 meters. This is exactly the shooting distance of an ordinary bow and arrow. The first city wall was defended for a day before it had to be given up. All the troops retreated to the second city wall.
There was a closed space between the two city walls. The Holy See troops quickly poured in. After more than 20,000 people entered the Duanrenguan army, they released the reservoirs in the mountains on both sides, and the short space was 80 meters wide and about two miles long. The entire space is filled with water.
The 20,000 Holy See troops were suddenly drowned, and thousands more were drowned. These thousands of people were unable to float due to the wave of swords and heavy armor. The remaining ten soldiers of the Holy See were enlarged by divine magic. Escaped. The Holy See quickly cleared the blockage on the city gate on the first city wall. The amount of water in the reservoir was reduced and it was no longer possible to form an attack.
Only then did the soldiers of the second battalion understand why Salin wanted to build such a large reservoir in such a militarized city gate.
The news spread back to Metatrin City, and Salin was not very happy. The Holy See broke through the first city wall at the cost of less than 10,000 soldier casualties. Although Duanren Pass did not have time to build large-scale defense facilities, the expeditionary army also gathered troops in a hurry. Did not carry a large amount of siege equipment. Moreover, the expeditionary force has marched more than 20,000 miles. According to normal standards, this army has almost no combat effectiveness. If the Holy See had not focused all its efforts on attacking Qin Yin and sent more troops, I am afraid that it would have reached Metatrin City by now.
I really don’t know how Qin Yin’s army blocked the Holy See’s attack at the border.
As a last resort, Salin began sending convoys. Prepare to retreat. The second city wall should be able to block the attack for two days. If we don't retreat, the second battalion will become history.
In the next two days, the battle was more brutal than Salin imagined, and the first city wall was built. Although the Holy See army cannot use the archery tower with one hole and the second city wall to shoot at each other, the magicians can condescendingly cast magic spells on the troops below.
The expeditionary force surged forward like a tide, and the morale in Broken Blade Pass was low. Several small mercenary groups had more than half of their casualties, and according to the contract, they could retreat. The main force of the second battalion was still intact, but the auxiliary soldiers suffered serious casualties, and the main force had to start dividing its troops. Become a simple archer.
Two intact magic stone cannons were mounted on the mountains on both sides of the east gate of Broken Blade Pass. After only holding on for a day and a half, the second battalion in Broken Blade Pass had to retreat. The expeditionary force pursued like crazy. Was fired by two magic stone cannons with magic stone bullets. Suppressed in the west.
There were a large number of magicians in Lisheng, and with the cooperation of heavy infantry, they came to seize the magic stone cannon. Seeing the troops in the city withdraw, the soldiers and magic apprentices guarding the stone cannon simply burned the stone cannon and fled together.
Missing the suppression of the magic stone cannon, the heavy infantry quickly pushed to the east gate in Broken Blade Pass.
It only took three and a half days from the time the vanguard arrived at Duanren Pass to the time Duanren Pass was penetrated. The expeditionary force did not cross the mountains to attack the rear. He broke through the blocking of Duanrenguan from the front.
After breaking through Duanren Pass, the east wall only lasted for more than two hours, and most of the troops behind Duanren died in the battle. The Holy See sent three thousand cavalry to pursue them. The main flag regiment of the third battalion sent by Salin fought an ambush and retreated back to Broken Blade Pass.
Three thousand men chasing an army of tens of thousands had little chance of winning. Moreover, the Holy See has been violently attacking for several days. Even with the help of magicians, the soldiers should take a rest.
Saleen was disappointed with the fighting power of his army. If Rex had Broken Blade Pass, he would be able to hold on to it for at least half a month. In the battle for the city wall, as long as the enemy scales the city wall, the battle loss ratio is one to one. Every Tanggulas person who goes up to the city wall can at least pull one person on his back.
It stands to reason that the individual combat effectiveness of both sides is similar. The soldiers Salin recruited were all soldiers who had been trained in swordsmanship. The enemy's expeditionary force could not be regarded as a regular army. A legion of 25,000 men almost did not participate in the battle. They all relied on new recruits, but this was the result, Salin felt. I still underestimate the three empires too much.
At this time, Sikka persuaded Salin: "Your soldiers are just for food. They don't know why they fight. The Holy See's expeditionary force. They fight to go to the kingdom of heaven. The difference is here. If your kingdom is built, If these people have a home, they will fight to the end to protect their home."
Salin was silent. Sika was right. His Metatrin City was a commercial city, but the surrounding farmers had just started farming and did not feel like they were home. Soldiers are also recruited for money.
What about the Holy See? Their method of deceiving people. It's not something I can compare to.
Fortunately, Metatrin City has no way out. People in the city are facing an existential crisis. Metatrin City can definitely withstand the expeditionary force's attack.
There are two ninth-level magicians in West Town. The enemy can only divide their forces and send at least 30,000 people to prevent the West Town garrison from rescuing Metatrin City. In this case, the expedition force to attack Metatrin City will only be 50,000. Multiple people.
It's time to dispatch the three kings. Before taking care of these three guys, we must make the best use of them.
"Invite Aini to come over, um, and Gu Ya and Salin have decided to give the Holy See Expeditionary Force a lesson before shrinking their defenses. However, none of his five battalions can move.
The nobles must send out some soldiers to cooperate with the three kings to conduct a real ambush. D! ~!
