As soon as he stepped out of the big tent, he heard a loud eagle cry in the sky. Looking up, it was a huge golden eagle flying over the barracks and flying into the distance.
His Highness the Second Highness exclaimed: "I didn't expect there to be such a majestic golden eagle in the swamp area of Bailu Lake. It's a pity that I don't have time. Otherwise, I really want to see where the eagle's nest is?"
Lei Di couldn't laugh or cry, the Second Highness is still so carefree, didn't he see that the soldiers of the Principality and the three great sword masters who were chasing him had already appeared in front of the barracks
After all, His Royal Highness has experienced hundreds of battles and has very rich battlefield experience. Even though there were only more than a thousand people with them, the marching and camping was still orderly, and there was no intention of making do with it. He arranged the barracks on a small mound, except for a small road on the front that can go directly to the gate of the barracks, the other three sides are steep slopes of more than ten meters high. Although this reduces the difficulty of defense and only requires the defensive side, it also traps himself in a Jedi.
There are more and more soldiers from the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handra gathered in the distance, gathering into a black crow, and a few people who look like silver knights are standing in front of the crowd giving lectures. Not far from the crowd, three great sword masters wearing various cloaks stood there looking at the barracks on the mound. It was really unexpected for them to meet the king of Antinak in the swamp area of Bailu Lake in winter. However, they also quickly understood why they met the Second Highness...
"Bah! His Majesty the King of the Antinac Kingdom really does not give up on the four principalities in the middle of our country. He personally brought people here to explore the way in such a cold winter. Fortunately, we met him, and the people who saw him also Not much, why don’t you mess with him?” The great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality spat into the snow, looked at the three-color griffin flag representing His Highness the Second Highness above the Tugang barracks, and said viciously.
The great swordsman of the Principality of Handela looked at the military camp on the mound: "We are lucky. His Majesty the King does not bring many people, only more than a thousand people. Each of our two principalities has a brigade here. The number should be Twice as many as them. But the more than a thousand people brought by His Majesty may be stronger than these ordinary soldiers in our two duchies. And they defend us and attack, which will put us at a disadvantage. Another point is that we These soldiers are only assisting us in arresting them. They don't bring offensive materials and equipment. If they attack from the bottom up, they will cause a lot of casualties...
Generally speaking, His Majesty the King will bring a great swordsman with him when he goes out, and the desperate Norton family boy can already resist the two of us. The only ones we have an advantage over them are the Great Sword Master Sandy and the team of silver guards from the Feisabrun family. If Great Swordsman Sandy is willing to take action, I believe that His Majesty the King will regret leaving his army very much, so he brought this little force here to take risks. "
The great sword masters of the Principality of Handela are relatively clear-headed, and he knows that among the three great sword masters, the great sword master Shandi has the final say. very simple. If the skills are not as good as others, he has no right to decide. He and the great sword master of the Principality of Sabaji failed to catch the hundred moves of the great sword master Sandy, so that the two privately thought that the great sword master Sandy It is very likely that he has been promoted to a third-level great swordsman.
Great Swordsman Xiandi was also looking at the barracks on the mound. Hearing what the two great swordsmen said, he turned his head and asked, "I have two questions. One is, are you sure that the kid from the Norton family has already entered the barracks? Two Is it because this army camp did not send a messenger out of the camp after the escaped knights and soldiers entered?"
The great sword master Xiandi's scruple is that His Highness has sent messengers to find reinforcements. If they can't succeed in attacking the barracks here in a short time, they may be overwhelmed by the reinforcements that swept in. Even if she is a third-level great swordsman, facing the rolling battle formation, she can only retreat. If sacrifices and heavy casualties are disregarded, it is not impossible to eliminate the Great Swordsman with crowd tactics.
"I can guarantee this." The great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality waved a few soldiers to his face: "When they found the knights and soldiers of the Antinak Kingdom fleeing, they followed them until we They were watching the barracks before they arrived. Let them talk about the surveillance."
The leading soldier bowed: "Your Excellency, Great Swordsman, when we arrived here, we saw that the man we were going to hunt entered the barracks together with a few escaped knights, and then that group of soldiers also ran in. The gate was closed, and it has not been opened until now. I left two partners to monitor the front, and the rest walked around the small mound, and found that the other directions were steep slopes, about ten meters high. We They couldn’t climb up that steep slope, and the people in the barracks couldn’t climb down either…”
Great Sword Master Xiandi nodded kindly: "You did a good job, I will remember your contribution."
The leading soldier blushed with excitement, bowed deeply again to Great Swordsman Sandy and stepped back. Poor thing, he didn't realize that Great Swordsman Sandy was just talking. If he really wanted to remember his achievements, he would at least ask him what his name was.
Sword Master Xiandi looked at the barracks on the mound again: "Since we have been chasing for so long, we can't return without success. If we go back like that, we can't afford to be ashamed. What's more, we have met the king again now." Your Majesty, I would like to invite him to visit your Principality by the way, your Grand Duke will definitely welcome his visit."
It would be easy if the great sword master Sandi was willing to help. The two great sword masters from Sabaji and Handra immediately called the two captains and assigned tasks respectively. First, they sent three Hundreds of longbowmen blocked the three directions of the mound separately to prevent the people from the barracks above from pulling the rope down from the steep slope to seek reinforcements. The rest of the principality soldiers were all concentrated in front of the path up the mountain, and first they had to cook and rest for half a day, and then sent a team of soldiers to cut wood and prepare a wooden raft for cover when attacking up the mountain...
"Your Majesty, it seems that they are preparing to attack us." Golden Knight Lippired said with a stern expression when he came to the Second Highness.
His Highness the Second Highness and Master Master Master, Reddy were standing behind the rough wooden fence next to the gate of the barracks at this moment, looking at the enemies gathered like ants under the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the one in the middle wearing a black cloak is the Great Swordsman Shandi of the Fesabrun family. She is the shortest, and the tall one next to her who is also wearing a black cloak is the Great Swordsman from the Principality of Sabaji. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s nothing powerful. I’ve tried a hundred tricks with him, and he can’t do anything to me. The one on the far right in the gray fur coat is the great swordsman from the Principality of Handela, and he’s pretty good at it. , it seems to be called Bill or something..." Reddy introduced to His Highness the Second Highness.
"Bilchek, we met on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Ridleys before." His Highness said, "But he is no match for the great sword master of Munster. If you say you can deal with the great sword of the Principality of Sabaji If the master is real, then this Bilchek will be handed over to Master Master Master, and then as long as we resist Great Sword Master Sandy, we can defend our barracks. This will be easy to handle, Lippired... "
"Your Majesty, please give me your order." Lippi Red next to him puffed up his chest.
His Royal Highness thought for a while: "This time we are leading a brigade of 1,000 people, plus nearly 100 servants, you and Moulwa, and I are three golden knights. Eighteen silver knights, now there are only fifteen left. Fortunately, our infantry brigade has 500 longbowmen, 200 shield soldiers and 300 spearmen. If so many people conduct defensive operations It should be enough to resist or even force back a third-level great swordsman.
Lippired, you pull out the longbowmen to form five teams of one hundred people, set up a pentagram formation at the gate of the camp, and then combine shield soldiers and spearmen to form a group of ten people. Their task is to entangle and resist One shot at the Great Swordsman Xiandi compressed the battlefield space at the gate of the camp, so that the Great Swordsman Xiandi had to face our arrow array. As for you, me, and Moore, each of us will bring five silver knights. Once the Sandy Great Swordsman escapes the arrow attack, we will launch a knight charge, forcing her to retreat to her original position and suffer the arrow attack again. Attack, got it? "
"Your Majesty, I understand, I will prepare right away." Lippired hurried away.
Reddy stared at his back curiously: "Your Majesty, is this useful for a second-level great swordsman?"
His Royal Highness laughed: "Of course it is useful. The power of the battle formation is to gather the abilities of ordinary soldiers to fight against high-level fighting spirit masters. This is the experience and lessons learned by the empire in countless battles in the past century. As long as you persist If you don’t run away, you can even teach the Great Swordsman some lessons. Haven’t your Norton family’s armed forces been trained in such battles?”
"Uh... this..." Reddy scratched his scalp, a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, our Norton family's armed forces have never encountered such a situation. Generally, if there is a great swordsman, our Highness will take care of it by himself. There is no need at all." We made a move, so what our family armed to deal with is ordinary soldiers, those opponents who are not our family armed at all... "
Now it was the Second Highness's turn to be surprised: "What did you say? Locke took care of it himself? He, isn't he not even a silver rank?"
"It's like this, Your Majesty, my teacher practiced the cultivation method of an oriental monk, so his battle qi level has always stayed at the black iron stage. In fact, the general third-level great swordsman is not his opponent at all. When the 100,000 troops who defeated the second prince swept across the North, His Highness, he defeated the great swordsman Sandy." Reddy said.
"So you are not lying to me by saying that you can deal with the great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality?" Second Highness asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, my teacher also taught me the cultivation techniques of Eastern monks, and my fighting spirit can only stay at the silver level and I can no longer be promoted. But I once held a knight's tournament held by the Grand Duke of Fesabrun In the conference, he defeated seven gold-level masters and won the swordsmanship champion." Reddy answered honestly.
"Very good, since this is the case, we will be more confident in defending this barracks. Reddy, you go and deal with the Great Swordsman Bilchek of the Principality of Handela, and just hold him back. I will let the Great Swordsman Manster deal with the last The weak sword masters of the Principality of Sabaji, try to take him down or injure him in the shortest time, and then deal with Bilchek with you, as long as these two great sword masters are wounded and defeated, then all of us People will be more confident in dealing with Sandy Great Swordsman. Look at the sky, there will definitely be a snowstorm in the next two days, and the enemies below have no supplies for the winter. Let me see how they can survive the snowstorm... "
The Second Highness was in high spirits at this moment, and didn't care about the busy enemies under the mound at all.
The enemies under the mound rested for nearly two hours after lunch, and finally the whole team launched their first attack on the barracks on the mound. Originally, the soldiers of the principality raised their wooden rafts and wanted to find a foothold not far from the barracks. Unfortunately, there were two bends in the path on Shangtugang, and they held the wooden rafts at the corners. The soldiers of the principality were attacked by the rain of arrows, and retreated after dropping forty or fifty corpses.
In the barracks, you can see that the soldiers who fled back under the mound were punished, and the five or six soldiers who escaped first were pulled out and beheaded for public display. Immediately after the manpower was strengthened again, the enemy launched a second attack. It is worth noting that this time, the two great sword masters from the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handra both joined the attacking team.
"Let them come up, let the longbowman prepare, keep an eye on that great swordsman Sandy, and shoot arrows at her as soon as she moves, and don't let her charge up. The two great swordsmen will be handed over to you, Master Mister Swordsman, and Reddy, I hope you don't disappoint me. As for the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, I will leave it to you, Lippi Red, tell the shield bearers to be careful of the enemy's longbowmen..." The Second Highness looked at the attacking The enemy gave the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The great sword masters of the two duchies did not expect that the attack would be so smooth this time, and they pushed them to the gate of the barracks so easily, and they were a little dazed on the spot. They originally thought that they would be attacked by a rain of arrows from top to bottom like the previous attack. The purpose of the two of them volunteering to come up is to consume and attract the longbowmen in the barracks to prevent them from shooting, and to create conditions for the surprise attack of the great swordsman Sandy from behind. However, they did not expect the two of them to attack the barracks so easily. in front of the door. Then I saw Reddy and Great Swordsman Master Munster striding forward with grinning grinning, only then did I realize that I had miscalculated.
Accompanied by the two great sword masters, there were only a hundred or so soldiers of the principality who attacked in front of the barracks. Because of the shelter held by the rafts, there were only a dozen longbowmen and shieldmen, and about twenty spearmen. Most of them were empty-handed, because they had to hold the raft with both hands, so they had to draw out their daggers or short swords, facing the impact of Lippired and other six knights, they were cut down one by one, crying. To the ground, this is a massacre...
The two great sword masters of the principality were already overwhelmed by the threat of Great Sword Master Munster and Reddy, and now they could only stick to the defense, hoping that the Great Sword Master Sandy under the mound would come up to support as soon as possible. It's a pity that what they didn't see was that the great swordsman Xiandi had already rushed up twice, but was forced to retreat by the continuous rain of arrows.
His Royal Highness commanded five teams of hundreds of longbowmen to attack Sandy Great Swordsman very skillfully. He didn't order the longbowmen to chase after Sandy Great Swordsman to block, but aimed at Sandy Great Swordsman. The great sword master's foothold and the silhouette in mid-air when passing by shot in anticipation, forcing the great sword master Sandy to jump around like a monkey at the foot of the mountain in order to avoid the arrow rain. After a long time, he still hasn't reached the mound .
For the third time, Great Sword Master Xiandi was furious, picked up a wooden raft on the ground to block in front of him, and rushed towards the mound. As a result, four consecutive rounds of arrows rained on the wooden raft, not only did the wooden raft crack The Great Swordsman Di was also forced to retreat again. Anyway, the great swordsman Xiandi is also a woman, and she still walks with a light and ethereal sword path. If you imagine a barbarian and rely on a wooden raft to defend yourself, it is impossible to rush up the mound. Even the Second Highness welcomes it very much. She did so, which made the longbowmen's concentrated fire very effective, and no one could bear the shock of the round of hundreds of feathered arrows hitting the wooden raft.
"Ah..." the great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality uttered a scream, and while resisting the attack of the great swordsman of Munster, he covered his right rib with his left hand, and blood gushed out.
"What's the matter with you?" Bilchek forced Reddy back with two swords, and retreated to his companion with one stride, blocking the attack of Master Master Master.
"I've been stabbed here, and I can't die. Is the great swordsman Shandi coming up..." the great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality asked through gritted teeth.
Bilchek peeked down and saw that he was not feeling well, and he was in a hurry to resist: "What's the matter, the Great Swordsman Sandy couldn't charge up..."
Master Master Master and Reddy were already beating the dogs in the water, and stepped up their attacks respectively, wishing to keep both of them. Bilchek protected the great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality and retreated step by step, almost reaching the edge of the mound.
Suddenly Bilchek threw the long sword in his hand at Master Master Master, and while Master Master Master was stunned by his hand and quickly dodged, he turned over and hugged the Master Sword Master of the Principality of Sabaji from As the mound rolled down, Reddy pounced, stretched out his long sword, and just stabbed Bilchek's left thigh.
"Aw..." Amidst the screams, the two great sword masters of the principality rolled down in disgrace, and then the soldiers of the principality rushed over, dragging and pulling the two great sword masters back.
"It's such a pity. I didn't expect Bilchek and his two great sword masters to use such a method to escape. If a team of archers had shot back just now, they would have become targets." The Second Highness felt a little regretful: "But the current The situation is already very good, the great sword masters of these two principalities have been abolished by you, and there is only one great sword master Sandi left, I see how there is any way to attack."
In the evening, heavy snow fell in the sky.
