Phoenix Grand Lord

Chapter 229 Take the initiative!

After more than two hours of marching, the vanguard unit led by Eppard finally arrived at the Stone Arch Bridge area.

Such a slow marching speed is by no means the true strength of Eppard's elite cavalry unit.

The advantage of Eppard's army is that it has excellent horses and cavalry with heavy iron armor.

This kind of troops is almost crushing when encountering on the ground. A wave of attacks can determine the outcome of the encounter.

But the problem is·

This is a siege.

The advantage of cavalry in siege warfare cannot be exerted at all.

People can climb the city wall, but horses cannot.

Moreover, the marching speed of the entire legion was very slow. It was meaningless for his vanguard to arrive on the battlefield early.

And in this regard, it was Eppard who deliberately slowed down his marching speed. Otherwise, his disconnect with the central and rear troops would be even more serious.

In fact, if tonight's battle can be planned carefully, it can be turned into a surprise night attack.

What a bullshit siege vehicle, it slows down the overall army too much, so it can be given up completely.

Relying only on his quick maneuverability and the suddenness of his night attack, he took the lead and washed away the two wooden sentry towers in Meilin Valley.

Even if it can't be washed away, isn't there still level 4 magician Pace?

Isn't it better to let Pace use magic to kill the sentry tower directly than a catapult?

It's just that it's not decent enough to say it out.

After all, a level 4 magician is indeed overqualified to deal with two simple sentry towers.

But if giving up dignity is still dishonorable, a wave of first attacks can penetrate Merrill Lynch Valley.

pity·--·

Today's young people are more and more crazy, and no one is willing to listen to advice.

Eppard sighed faintly and looked in the direction of the Merrill Valley Sentence Tower, which had not yet lit the torch, "It's strange, the movement of our vanguard's arrival is not that small, why is there no movement in the direction of the Merrill Valley Sentence Tower? "

The knight's adjutant next to him complimented him: "Sir, that boy Rowena must not have thought that we would attack him at night! We made a profit this time! Why don't we rush over directly, destroy their two towers first, and take the lead?" !”

Eppard is an old fox. "Hmph, it's not like I'm fighting the war for myself! The purpose of our trip is to kill as few people as possible, or even not to die! Our people should be saved to fight the damned one." Nathanos fights for his life!"

"Yes, yes." The knight beside him said obediently, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Eppard stretched his sore waist on his horse and said, "Notify our troops to retreat to a safe area 100 kilometers away."

"Yes, sir!"

The knight's adjutant immediately conveyed the order to the cavalry troops behind him: "Everyone retreat and stand by!"

The cavalrymen turned their horses and retreated toward safety in a chaotic manner.

At this moment, a torch suddenly lit up on the Merrill Valley sentry tower, and immediately after, two powerful spear-like arrows pierced the night sky and shot straight at the cavalry!

Eppard took a deep breath, "What the hell is this! How can it be so big! Everyone, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The frightened cavalry huddled together, the horses collided with each other, and there was no room to dodge!

boom! boom!

Two powerful spear-like arrows hit the two areas where the crowds were the densest. Their powerful piercing ability instantly killed two cavalrymen and three horses!

Although the kill rate is not too high, the psychological panic caused is huge!

Eppard's entire vanguard force was in complete chaos. The horses were frightened and screamed, kicking and bumping. Many cavalrymen were knocked down by their companions' horses and trampled to death.

And the second round of spears and arrows was triggered again!

The cavalry in the vanguard have completely become living targets!

Eppard roared loudly: "Back off! Keep backing off! Go back to the dense forest 200 kilometers away!"

The cavalrymen held their heads and rushed their horses to escape.

In the process of escaping, several more heavily armored cavalry were shot through by both men and horses, and their bodies were nailed to the ground.

The range and penetrating ability of the spear and crossbow made even the battle-hardened butcher Eppard tremble with fear!

After finally escaping into the dense forest, Eppard's hands were trembling slightly.

In this wave, before anything could happen, Merrill Valley was caught off guard!

Before the official siege began, the morale of his vanguard had collapsed.

The knight's adjutant made an emergency count of the 100 elite veteran cavalry brought by Eppard. In this wave alone, 17 people died and 11 were seriously injured.

People, and there are no statistics on those with minor injuries!

"Damn Luo Wei! How could I forget that he has never been dishonest!"

Eppard was angry and resentful, "But where did he get such a heavy weapon as a ballista? For a small manor to use such a weapon, he has definitely gone too far!"

The knight's adjutant asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Eppard gritted his teeth, "Wait, wait for Pace's siege truck to arrive. As long as the siege truck is in place, a huge stone shell can destroy a sentry tower! As long as there is no sentry tower in Merrill Valley, they will be on the chopping board. Lamb!"

"The master is wise!"

All the cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Eppard asked everyone to wait.

other side.

Luo Wei sat on the chair in the sentry tower on the left side of Merrill Lynch Valley, closing his eyes and relaxing.

Beside him were Xia Liz, who was wearing level 3 forged armor, and Annie, who was wearing level 5 luxurious magician robes. The two beauties were on his left and right.

Xia Liz's frosty face was full of seriousness, and she was ready to protect Luo Wei at any time.

And Annie, who was wearing crystal glasses, was full of excitement and kept asking questions.

This was her first time in a real war, so everything on the battlefield felt very fresh.

Especially the crossbow bombardment just now, Annie's whole body was on fire.

"Wow! The crossbow is so powerful! The arrowheads of these crossbow arrows are made of steel that I personally refined, right? I am worthy of being the genius of the empire! Damn, why did they all escape to the dense forest! They are too useless, aren't they?"

Luo Wei ignored Annie's excitement, but concentrated his mind to activate the Phoenix Power Feather Insight to check the situation in the dense forest.

After the expansion of the previous stage, the field of vision of Feather Insight can move 100 kilometres, and the range of vision can reach 300 kilometres.

Therefore, Rowe could see the situation of the dense forest 200 kilometer away clearly.

When Rowe used the Feather Insight, Annie next to him couldn't help but "".

As a magic genius with keen perception, Annie immediately sensed Rowe's magical power.

Annie's body subconsciously surged with surging magical energy.

Rowe, who was using the "magic power", was like a big magnet, almost sucking Annie's body over.

Xia Liz noticed the change in Annie's micro-expression, and her heart suddenly became a little complicated.

Of course, she hoped that her master could find an excellent female noble to marry and pass on the family line, but when she found that Annie, who said it was impossible, was becoming more and more honest, she felt very sad.

Love is of course selfless, but love is selfish.

She thought that her love for the master was the selfless love of a loyal servant, but it was not until this moment that she realized that her love for the master was really love.

It is the kind of love that wants to get, completely possess, and last until death.

The more she understood, the more painful it was for Xia Liz.

But now was not the time to be painful.

Xia Liz could only try to clear the messy emotions in her heart and focus on the war in front of her.
