Lord Highlander

  Chapter 115 114. Rescue Team

   Avoiding the main battle area, the second team tried to find the evil spirit team wandering in the woodland at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

  It's a pity that the mountains and ravines in this area are crisscrossed, and the dense arbor forests are closely connected. If you want to pass through such arbor forests, the soldiers walking in front must use hatchets to open the way. Generally, there are very few evil spirits in this dense forest.

  Suldak had no choice but to temporarily decide to lead the small team of soldiers closer to the main battlefield.

  The heavy armored infantry regiment opened up a wide forest road on the gentle **** on the south side of Moyunling, and the heavy cavalry regiments have been advancing in turn these days. The bed crossbow and the catapult battalion were erected on the high ground behind, and they carried out long-range strikes on the evil spirit camp, causing a lot of casualties to the evil spirit army. The Evil Ghost Legion organized a raid team to try to destroy the bed crossbow position, but unfortunately the front was blocked by heavy cavalry regiments, and the flanks of the battlefield were defended by three heavy armored infantry regiments in turn.

  Recently, the evil spirit army has intensified its sneak attacks on the flank positions, but the dense forests on both sides are overgrown with bushes, which are only suitable for small groups of evil spirits to pass through.

After turning over a hill, you can already see a huge catapult like a pendulum on the highest part of the opposite hillside. Four infantry soldiers are leading four mules and horses to pull the giant winch, and slowly level the nearly ten-meter-long cantilever of the catapult. After the cantilevers of all catapults were leveled, 20 catapults were loaded with solid stone bullets with a diameter of more than one meter.

A short horn sounded, and the cantilever of the catapult threw the stone bullet into the sky. The stone bullet was coated with a layer of kerosene, and was ignited by the soldiers when it bounced. Parabolic smoke trajectory.

  Twenty stone bullets fell on the battlefield on the other side of the mountain, and the field of vision was blocked by the hillside in front. You had to climb the hill where the catapult was located to see the main battlefield.

  The roars of evil spirits, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of soldiers could be faintly heard from there, which made people feel a little passionate.

The second team walked along the sparsely wooded hillside, trying to go around to the main battlefield in front. Unexpectedly, a few heavy armored infantry soldiers appeared behind a bush of brambles in front. In the forest area in front of them, the soldiers of the second team just got out of the forest area, and they fell into the eyes of these heavy armored infantry soldiers.

  Seeing the strange squad of soldiers appearing from the woodland, the group of heavy armored infantry soldiers seemed very excited.

   Asked loudly to the soldiers of the second team: "Which legion are you infantry soldiers from?"

   "Fifty-seven Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment." Red Sock shouted at the top of his voice.

  A burly captain of infantry soldiers came out from the thorn bushes, and when he heard Red Socks say it was the fifty-seventh regiment, the infantry captain asked hesitantly, "Didn't your regiment change defense?"

  Suldak walked up and replied to the infantry captain: "We are performing a temporary mission."

  The infantry captain raised his golden eyebrows, with a friendly smile on his face: "Are you from Hailansa too?"

  Suldak nodded, pointed to all the fighters in the second team, and replied with a smile: "The fighters in my team are all from Hailansa City!"

  The captain looked at the dense forest and asked without hesitation: "How is the situation in the forest over there? I mean, have you found any traces of evil spirits?"

   "If there were evil spirits, we wouldn't try our luck on the main battlefield..." Suldak was talking, but his face changed suddenly, and his words stopped.

  There was a short horn sound in the distance, "Woooooo..."

   At this time, the captain immediately jumped onto a huge boulder next to him, looked in another direction, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

  The heavy armored infantry soldiers hiding in the bushes seemed a little flustered, and some soldiers stretched their necks and looked at the direction of the evil spirits from afar, with a look of horror on their faces.

  The infantry captain shouted: "Ready to fight!"

  The steady voice seemed full of spirit. After hearing the captain's order, the group of soldiers took up their weapons and calmed down.

  The soldiers of the second team looked at Suldak.

The bearded Kagel immediately looked in the direction where the evil spirit appeared, and found that his vision was blocked by wild grass, so he quickly stood on the boulder, glanced at it, and quickly reported to Suldak: : "Captain, there are a lot of evil spirits coming this time, probably a squadron."

  A full squadron usually has sixty people in the Green Empire Army, and it can probably form five twelve-man squads. For the heavy armored infantry fighters of the empire, the number of evil spirits reached sixty, which meant that an infantry brigade was needed to be able to fight against them.

   In front of this group of evil spirits, an infantry squad has almost no chance of resisting.

He Boqiang didn't expect to encounter such a thing as a sneak attack on the catapult camp by the evil spirit just when he was approaching the battlefield, and he knew that with Suldak's character, he would never leave alone with the second team of soldiers at this time .

Suldak looked at the evil spirits that kept coming out of the wild grass with firm eyes, and waved to the soldiers of the second team without looking back. All the soldiers immediately gathered around him, holding shields to meet These evil spirits formed a formation, and several warriors carrying alloy bows, including Red Sox and Big Beard, had already put the steel arrows on the bowstrings.

  The evil spirits in the front row had already revealed their heads on the barren meadow. They were running forward side by side with a sawtoothed ax at a very fast speed.

  He Boqiang has always wanted to know how the bearded Cagle could determine the approximate number of these evil spirits just by looking at them.

  These evil spirits have crossed the large grassland in a blink of an eye, and rushed directly towards the hills.

Obviously, their target is the catapult position on the hill, but if they want to charge to the hillside, they must first eradicate the squad of heavy armored infantry soldiers stationed here. The evil spirits will not let these infantry soldiers behind them, causing Attacking from both sides, seeing that there were two squads of imperial infantry soldiers on this side, they immediately dispatched a squad of evil spirits to detour to deal with the infantry soldiers on this side.

  The soldiers of the second team looked at each other, a little puzzled, where did these evil spirits come from to be confident, thinking that a team of evil spirits rushing here would be a sure win.

  The brigade of evil spirits rushed straight up the hill without even looking this way.

  The first round of arrows has been shot, because no one gave orders to shoot the volley, so these steel arrows have limited accuracy when shot out, and long-distance projectiles cannot be compensated for by archery.

Suldak led the thirteen soldiers of the second team to stand in a row with the infantry soldiers stationed here. He Boqiang understood that Suldak deliberately wanted to protect these infantry soldiers as much as possible, but faced with this evil team Ghost, the soldiers of the second team should also be a bit overwhelmed.

  Seeing that the evil spirits were about to charge up, Suldak gave orders to the soldiers of the second team:

   "Defensive posture, raise the shield!"

The infantry captain was a little surprised when he saw that Suldak didn't evacuate immediately, but he still reminded him at this time: "Hurry up and retreat to the hill, they may divide some of the evil spirits to intercept and kill you, and it will be too late .”

   Turning his head, he loudly encouraged his soldiers:

   "Everyone, persistence is victory. The heavy cavalry can support them in less than a quarter of an hour. We must stall here for a while. This is our position."

  Those soldiers were a little scared, but seeing their captain standing at the front, they could only muster up the courage to raise their shields beside the captain to form a shield wall.

Suldak did not withdraw from the position according to the other party's words, but raised the dwarf chain shield in his hand, and said to the infantry captain righteously: "My soldiers want to help here. These evil spirits are also our common enemy, and hunting them is also our mission!"

  At this time, He Boqiang is always unable to complain. Suerdak is usually good at everything, but it is a bit bad that he likes to make decisions for others at critical times.

   At this time, shouldn't you ask other fighters in the team? Then he looked at the other fighters in the team, and he knew very well in his heart that most of the questions were useless. These blind and arrogant guys sometimes have a heroic complex.

   "My name is Bartbury, what's your name? I'm sure you are my friend." The team leader on the other side stretched out his fist to Suldak...

  Suldak punched it hard, and said in a loud voice: "Captain Bartbury, please call me Suldak, the second squadron of the fourth battalion of our 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment..."
