After the signal flare came on, Plante, the general of the Tiance Mansion, immediately made a judgment to help Lord Lingwu.
Even if the royal family and Lingwu have had deep grievances for generations, Plante will not watch the Lingwu lord fall into danger at this time. For the royal family, the death of Lord Lingwu is not the best ending. Once she dies, the entire northern defense line will be completely corrupted. Eternal Heaven will never find another army that can directly contend with the giants.
What's more, in the army that Plant is now leading, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry who were assigned by the Lord Lingwu. If he dares to stand still and delay the battle, the soldiers of Lingwu may mutiny at any time.
So he ordered to support Lord Lingwu without hesitation, but in order to prevent an ambush, Plant divided his army into two parts. The first part was mainly composed of Lingwu iron cavalry. Using high mobility, he detoured to the red beam of light The place where they are; the Lingwu infantry plus the army brought by the royal family and other territories set out from the front and walked in a straight line to support the Lingwu lord.
It was the latter team that was ambushed by the giants.
When the first giant race jumped up from the snow and flew towards the army led by Plante, everything was so caught off guard. The huge body of the giant slammed into the army, like a heavy and impactful shell falling, smashing the soldiers under him into a pulp, and knocking out the surrounding soldiers, causing quite a commotion.
Although the impact caused by the giant did not directly hurt the little princess Lanna, the commotion caused by it surprised the horse that the little princess Lanna was riding. The horse stood upright and almost threw Lanna off. Seeing this, Plant immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly:
"Protect Your Royal Highness!"
But at this time, the ambush soldiers of the giant clan rushed forward, and some giants had already clenched their fists and smashed at the little princess Lanna.
At the time of crisis, the red fire flashed by, and the spear was nailed into the giant's skull, directly burning its brain into charcoal ashes. The giant fell backwards into the snow, and the smell of roasting meat wafted in the wind. The red-haired boy pulled out his spear and said to Plant:
"Lanna, don't worry too much."
Plant reined in the horse, took a deep look at Honglian, and then commanded the army to launch a counterattack against the giants. Along the way, the armies in other territories have almost passed the break-in period, and with the Lingwu infantry in charge, even if they are suddenly attacked, there will be no chaos.
Lanna timidly looked at the stubborn boy who was leading the horse for her. She didn't have much communication with this stubborn boy named Honglian. Mi sent someone to protect her. At this moment, Honglian was holding the rein in one hand and the spear in the other, and the red tassel turned into flames fluttered in the wind.
He led Lanna straight all the way, and the giant who dared to approach was knocked down with a single shot.
At the end of the killing, he was covered in blood, and only a pair of eyes were clear all over his body. The horse that Lanna was sitting on did not dare to breathe, let Honglian lead it, and walked with four hooves and bowed head. Lanna didn't know why Guren was so desperate, she just felt that maybe it was her teacher's order, and Guren had to follow it.
These low-level giants are numerous, powerful, and can easily coordinate operations, posing a great threat to the first team. Coupled with the absence of the most powerful Lingwu cavalry, Plante fought a very difficult battle. At the same time, the moment he encountered the ambush, he understood that the situation on the side of Lord Lingwu would only get worse, but now Plante can only pray that the 10,000 cavalry acting alone can help Lingwu to some extent. The lord is busy, he really has no skills to spare.
Yunhai Baiye followed in the team, shuttling through the battlefield expressionlessly, punishing countless giants with a pair of iron fists.
But he didn't have the ability to change the situation of the battle by himself, and the advancing speed of the army was still very slow. The number of dead is also increasing further. Even if they break through the ambush of the giants, there may not be many soldiers left.
Also ambushed was the third team, which was the team led by Prince Xiaobai of West Qin Dynasty and Prince Xiaohei of Southern Chu Dynasty.
Riding on the horse, Xiao Hei drew his bow and shot through the heart of a giant, cursing and saying:
"Damn... no, to be reasonable, why are there so many ghosts and snakes coming out all of a sudden, and I didn't read the almanac when I went out today? If I had known, I would have brought out the witchcraft master from our Nanchu family, and calculated it before going out. If not If it's auspicious, just stand still. It's really terrible."
Xiaobai rode on while holding the rein, ignoring him. Xiao Hei continued to say while adding arrows to the bow:
"I remember when we came to Lingwu when we were young, the elder sister gave us a popular science, saying that the low-level giants are creatures without brains, but the medium-sized giants already have quite high intelligence, and the high-level giants above that have no one. I have seen it before, but I think it must be smarter. I feel that the situation is serious this time, and it is likely that a medium giant or a high giant was tricked. I don’t know if the big sister can stand it... "
Xiao Hei babbled for a long time, but Xiao Bai only replied with one sentence:
"It's too windy and snowy, I can't hear you clearly, so don't say a few words."
He casually took the bow behind a Lingwu soldier beside him, and grabbed a handful of arrows from the soldier's quiver. He shot four arrows in a row, and used up all the arrows in the quiver in a snap of his fingers. reserve. None of the arrows hit the giant, but each arrow passed the giant's eyes, heart and other vital points with the howling wind. The threat of dying made the violent giants calm down instantly, and they were at a loss. Standing still, his ankles were cut off by other soldiers and he fell to the ground.
Xiao Hei let out a breath, not letting him speak would suffocate him to death.
After about five minutes, he couldn't help but speak again, and said loudly to Xiaobai:
"I feel like it's too late! Xiaobai, what do you think?"
This time Xiaobai did not remain silent, but replied with two words:
"... sympathy."
Xiao Hei let out a breath, lowered his body, lay on the horse's back, turned his face to Xiao Bai and said:
"Xiaobai, do you think the eldest sister can survive?"
Xiao Bai closed his eyes, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.
Xiao Hei didn't speak anymore, what they were encountering was layers upon layers of siege by lowly giants, one wave after another. Compared with the first team, the situation on their side is better. After all, West Qin and Southern Chu are two of the best territories in Eternal Heaven, and the troops they bring also have quite high combat effectiveness. Maybe they are not as skilled in fighting in the snow as Lingwu's army, but they are not inferior to Lingwu in terms of excellent equipment and bravery of soldiers.
The death rate is not very high, and overall they still have the advantage.
The only problem they faced was that they were too far away from where Lord Lingwu fired the signal flare. It would take at least one day to arrive on a normal journey, and no one can guarantee what the situation will turn out before that.
"Fortunately, little brother Lide is still there, so he should be able to help big sister..."
Xiao Hei muttered something, feeling a little relieved.
