Chapter 360. Infantry
But before the gate of the urn city was opened, the crowded skeleton warriors on the ramp still needed to be cleaned up.
Frowning slightly, Kant turned his head, glanced towards the towers on both sides, and commanded: "The mage apprentice will unleash the fireball technique with all his strength and clean up the ramp and the area under the ramp so that the troops can easily enter and exit!" ”
"Yes!" A herald immediately took the order and left.
Soon, four mage apprentices appeared on the tower, raising their staff and pointing downward.
As the slightly scorching fireball burned and pounced, the entire ramp instantly exploded with fire dragons, whistling and releasing an immeasurable heat wave, devouring hundreds of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers!
The flames burned most of the skeletons, and the fiery fire elemental directly eroded the soul fire within the skull.
Eventually, everything settled down.
The entire ramp was only gray and black with black smoke.
However, the countless skeleton warriors in the rear didn't care, still holding their rotten weapons and rushing forward, obviously this kind of image was not the first time for them, and it was not the first time that the fireball technique cleared the ramp.
But this fireball burst was not the end.
The mage apprentice on the tower continues to cast spells.
Another round of fireball rushed down, but it exploded at the bottom of the ramp, and the surging fire dragon not only frantically destroyed any skeleton that dared to approach, but also pushed the skeleton warriors who continued to surge behind them!
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The Vekia marksman has launched an accurate rapid-fire fire.
One by one, cone-headed arrows rained down on the 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp, shooting the remaining skeleton warriors directly to the head and completely cleaning the ramp.
It's a no-brainer for top scorers.
"It's now."
Kant's eyes flashed.
Waving his hand forward, he commanded in a deep voice: "Open the city gates!" ”
"Open the gates!"
Then the soldiers in charge of the city gates began to move.
The winch of the iron gate drove the thick hemp rope to pull up the heavy cast iron gate, while the heavy wooden gate underneath was opened with three layers of latches, completely opening the 3-meter-wide gate.
Bandak, dressed in chain mail, stood at the front of the neatly lined group of Swadia light infantry.
He was the general who led the troops in this sortie.
"Attack!"
Bandak was the first to move forward.
Behind him, a sequence of 5 teams of 1,000 Swadia light infantry immediately stepped forward and slowly pushed forward, holding standard spears with both hands, forming a dense phalanx of spears.
Especially the light infantry at the front, the spear in his hand is horizontal, and the spear advances between steps.
The spearhead still shone coldly under the golden light overhead.
Faced with the skeletal warriors who were temporarily hindered by the crossbowmen and could not successfully enter the ramp, the light infantry crossed the city gate and finally reached the ramp, moving faster and faster.
"Stop shooting!"
Kant reached out and clenched his fist.
The desert bandits next to them shouted at the same time, quickly passing on the order.
The light infantry had entered the ramp and were about to reach the bottom, and if they continued to shoot, they might be injured by mistake, because the group of skeleton warriors had sensed that there was finally a human force attacking, and they were all boiling!
A silent roar rang out, but the crunch of bones colliding with each other resounded through the space.
The fire of the soul swayed in the eye sockets.
The rotten halberd and sword had been grasped by the bones of the hand, and they hurried forward, slashing at the human infantry who were also rushing towards them, and the two sides slammed together!
"Click, click, click—"
The sound of bones shattering was endless.
The skeleton warriors on the top floor hadn't even slashed their halberds, and the Swadian light infantry lined up in front of them clenched their spears with both hands and stabbed them down heavily.
The intersecting halberds broke instantly, and even the once gorgeous and strong ancient armor was directly shattered.
The skeleton of the body was also pierced alive.
And for the skeleton warriors who were not flesh and blood, although this was not a fatal injury, but the next Swadia light infantry pulled their spears fiercely and continued to charge their bodies, but their already unstable bodies were instantly scattered into fragments and turned into a pile of useless bones!
What's more, even the skull was directly pierced by the spear, shattering the soul fire in the skull, so that these deceased who should have died continued to fall into eternal sleep.
"Kill!"
Bandak's attack is even simpler.
He just swung the knight's sword in his hand, and the blade attached to the power of the underworld easily slashed through the fragile bones, eventually eroding the soul fire in the skull, and causing these necromancers to decay again.
This was not yet the time for desperate efforts, as squads of Swadia light infantry rushed down and built a defensive line around the ramp.
The sturdy fan shield is already in the left hand.
Now it's a dogfight.
The spear is actually not as effective as a Germanic sword that can be slashed.
And this Germanic sword, with a shorter attack range, is equivalent to a short sword, but in this melee environment, it can slash faster and more frequently, so that the sharp blade can cut through the rotten weapons and armor, and tear the shells of those skeleton warriors!
"Immediately arrange for 5 mage apprentices to enter the battlefield and release state-type spells!"
On the city walls, Kant gave the order.
Soon, the five mage apprentices who were transferred from other city walls quickly came to the battlefield with the open gate of the urn city.
"Alchemy!"
It's a spell they've cast.
The Svadia light infantry in the front row took on the spell, and as the golden light converged on the blade of the Germanic sword in their hands, they slashed with greater ease and caused more terrifying damage!
Even the skulls of those skeleton warriors can be cut off with a single blow, just like the sharpest long sword!
"For Lord Kant! For Svadia! ”
The light infantry, who had seen the power of the spell, shouted.
Together, they lined up in a semicircle, four layers thick, to face the attack of the skeletal warriors, but at their feet, piles of bones were already piled up.
A large number of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers are simply cannon fodder, and they pose no threat to these light infantry.
Not even if you can slash at these infantry with a weapon.
Rotten halberds or swords could not cut through the chain mail that had passed through the Swadia kingdom and were strictly supervised, and often these rotten weapons broke on their own, leaving only a few marks on the chain mail, and tearing the linen robe that was worn outside.
But every time the light infantry slashed the Germanic sword, they were able to chop the undead skeletons, whether they were stronger skeleton warriors or even more corrupt and weaker skeletons, into a pile of broken bones.
Not to mention the fan shield.
Raising their shields to withstand the more lethal attacks, they were even pushing outward.
Step by step, they walked through the calf-deep bones, chopped those skeletons, and turned these undead into broken bones, and then they went from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor, or even the 2nd floor, and killed them hard.
And it withstood the onslaught of the staggering number of skeletons!
"Good."
Kant saw it on the city walls.
The ramp outside the gate of the city of Wengcheng below has been cleared out of a large open space.
The light infantry were like an embankment, protecting the lowlands, keeping the waves of skeletons out and ensuring safety.
It's just that the distance of expansion of these light infantry has also come to an end.
Shoulder-to-shoulder 2 floors is their limit.
The danger of only 1 layer of defense is too great, if the skeletons break through a certain point, then it means that the entire defense line is broken, and everyone will suffer misfortune, and when the time comes, they must retreat urgently, and they must worry about whether it will evolve into a rout!
And even now, they are aware of the limits of their own advances and begin to slowly retreat.
Bandak was also whispering to them to retreat.
The light infantry in the front row was already slightly wounded, and there were quite a few of them.
After all, the number of those skeletons is extremely large, and they can cause a little pain to the exposed skin of the light infantry, or even slightly pierce the chain mail, causing skin trauma.
Eventually, the light infantry retracted and re-met the enemy in a four-story array.
The wounded rest and heal in the back.
After a simple bandaging to ensure that his strength is restored, he will continue to push forward to the front line and fight hard.
As for the light infantry, which had already exhausted their physical strength, they would come to the rear to rest at this time, and if anyone was wounded, they would be bandaged briefly to ensure that no one was too badly injured to die.
Not to mention the Mage Apprentice, each release of the Sharp Gold Blade can last for 20 minutes.
2 times per person per day.
It also happened to be the time point for the front and rear rows to rotate.
As long as the front row is a little unable to hold on, the back row will use the Germanic sword blessed with a sharp gold blade to go up, quickly clean up those weak skeletons, and let their companions retreat to the rear to rest.
They fought for 1 hour in front of the ramp, and the number of skeletons piled up was simply too many.
Even raised the ground!
The light infantry's line remained unbreached.
"Almost."
Kant squinted slightly, looked at the formation below that had begun to waver, and commanded in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, let the heavy cavalry go down to fight, and cover the light infantry retreat!" ”
"Yes!" The desert bandits answered the order and immediately left to communicate.
Soon, 300 heavy cavalry lined up with shields.
With a long sword in hand, he walked down the ramp quickly, in front of those light infantry, and slashed the skeletons that rushed over with great strength, turning these undead into pieces and bones.
But this time it's not a advance, it's a retreat.
The light infantry supported each other and quickly returned, and easily returned to the inner side of the urn city under the cover of the heavy cavalry.
And the heavy cavalry also retreated step by step, stabilized the formation, retreated on the ramp, and finally returned to the gate of the urn city, and returned to the protection of the urn city.
"Close the gates!"
Kant ordered.
The cast-iron gate that was originally bound by the winch and hung on the top of the city gate was instantly lowered, and the iron gate weighing several tons smashed in front of the city gate, directly smashing the skeleton warriors who were still surging over, and at the same time blocking the outside.
But there are still 20+ skeleton warriors rushing over.
But the heavy cavalry behind the palace easily cut off the skull with their swords, and scattered into a pile of broken bones at the city gate.
