Chapter 501: Lure the Enemy Deep (II)

[The first watch, today's fourth watch]

Count Su Fangso was in his prime, and after advancing to the Golden Sword Saint, he also had some ambitions. Although a martial artist is not like a mage, it is certain that after advancing to the Golden Sword Master, his lifespan will be extended to two or three hundred years old. There are still two hundred years to live, and if you don't make meritorious contributions, wouldn't it be a waste of this great skill.

The Skaudian ironclad cavalry swept away the demon legions' positions like a flood. The damage of this cavalry is not large, and the horses of more than 10,000 cavalry are all at the level of Warcraft, and they are also the real elite of Skochenya.

Ordinary cavalry only has speed when charging after the formation, and war horses in peacetime need to be carefully maintained.

After the Skochenian cavalry charged, they were able to pursue at high speed, and the speed of the war horse was almost not reduced, and the triangular charging formation turned into a parallel attack, and the crossbow was fired, which also killed and injured a lot of demons.

It was because Su Fangsuo didn't see that there was a problem with the rout of the demon legion, so he took his soldiers out of Shining Sun City and decided to march into Ceylon City.

He was too familiar with the city of Ceylon, that kind of place, no matter what.

The demon army retreated very quickly, and it was retreating to the mountains, and the regular army of Skociana commanded many mercenary groups, and they could not be as commanded by their arms, so they had to send two elite mercenary groups into the mountain, and did not order them to fight with the demon army, but only blocked the way out of the mountain, lest these demons attack Shining Sun City after resting.

The commander of Skocchia was also cautious, and let more than 20,000 people build fortifications outside the mountain range, with their backs to Shining Sun City, to prevent these demons from counterattacking. The longer this fortification is built, the more complete the installation of large-scale equipment, even if the demon legion is strong, it will not be able to forcibly attack the camp.

The remaining 140,000 men rushed through the narrow mountain pass into the lands controlled by the city of Ceylon, where they were confronted by the recruits sent by Saleen.

This new battalion only has more than 5,000 people, and it is the closest unit to Yaoyang City. Skocina's brigade appeared in front of him, and the leading general was from Daliang City, and he knew that he was not capable of the enemy, so he couldn't even resist it as a stand.

The army of more than 5,000 people retreated in a hurry, and thirty miles to the rear was a fortress.

The key to Sarin's clever arrangement is the speed of the rout of the demon legion, if the rout is too slow, then the army of five thousand people will flee too early, and the Skocians will not be able to detect them. Now the heavy cavalry of Skocian, in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, removed the heavy armor of the warriors, and even the horses only kept the equipment inside.

Walking in front was more than a thousand light cavalry of a mercenary group. This light cavalry was not fast, and rode horses with long endurance, capable of marching more than a hundred miles in a row.

The light cavalry was not very powerful in attack, and its greatest usefulness was to follow the rout, or kill the infantry with bows and arrows on the flanks. However, Salin's 5,000 recruits fled without a fight, allowing the light cavalry to easily pursue, throwing feathered arrows from behind.

The equipment of these five thousand recruits was simple, and there were originally some vehicles in the rear, and when they turned to flee, the army of Skocinna had not yet appeared, at least half of the soldiers got on the carts and set up bows and crossbows on the carts, and among the remaining half of the soldiers, there were many on inferior horses, walking on small roads, and retreating to the fortress behind them.

The number of soldiers who escaped on their legs was less than a thousand. The light cavalry pursued, and Saleen's recruits, reprimanded by the generals, returned fire with crossbow arrows from their carts, and the battle became interesting.

Skocina's light cavalry had relatively low combat effectiveness, and the projectile of feathered arrows was aimless, while Sarin's recruits were all wearing paper armor. This paper armor is made of paper, but the ability to defend against feather arrows is outstanding, and the most difficult to defend against is heavy weapons, such as battle axes, spears and other attacks.

More than 1,000 light horsemen pursued behind, shooting less than a hundred recruits, and more than 200 people were killed by the crossbow arrows on the chariots. The weapons Salin gave to his recruits were ordinary, and the only ones that were lethal were these bolts. Salin didn't expect that although the equipment he gave to the recruits was unbearable, compared to the low-level mercenaries in Scochenya, it was also on par.

The cavalry pursued the infantry and suffered a loss, which was a joke in Yunliu.

The general of Kushui County, who led the recruits, didn't look good, and if it went on like this, the Skochenians would be scared and bad. The lord meant to lure the enemy deeper! If a group of waste wood soldiers blocked the attack of the light cavalry, then what kind of lure method would it be?

The generals of Kushui County scolded their men, made the recruits attack more slowly, and began to deploy thistles. Huge numbers of thistles were scattered from carts and covered the roads. To be exact, these thistles are made of copper.

Many of the light cavalry of Skociana did not even have half-moon horseshoes, and as soon as the thistle was sprinkled, the pursuing cavalry had to slow down or pass slowly on both sides of the road, and the large groups of men and horses behind waited for the chariots to clear the obstacles. The two small mercenary groups left the main road and pursued the recruits who fled on bad horses, but they really caught up, and under the slashing and slaughter, the recruits lost more than 200 men, and the rest fought desperately and fled back to the fortress.

The fort built here by Saleen was very strong and could accommodate more than 10,000 people. Five thousand recruits retreated one after another, and together with the original garrison of more than 3,000 people, the limit of this fortress was almost reached.

After seeing blood and dying comrades, these recruits didn't panic much.

The generals of Kushui County were relieved that with such a weak army, they were really unable to use their strength. Fortunately, the enemy's equipment was not good, and the speed was not fast enough, and the 10,000 heavy cavalry cherished their own combat strength, and only waited for the field battle outside Ceylon City, and did not strive to pursue, so that almost all the recruits fled back.

Salin was the new recruits who were gathered up for the next retreat, and the location where his castle was built, one side of the mountain, the other facing the road, but the road had been cut off, blocked by boulders, and trebuchets were arranged behind the boulders.

Salin didn't send a mage to come up, but the number of trebuchets made by demons was huge, and in Skociana people didn't like to use wood very much, and the giant trees on the mountain were cut down at will, and the materials were taken locally. Using some simple demonic magic, the archdemon dried huge trees and quickly created hundreds of trebuchets.

In the magic tower of Ceylon City, Salin received information from the front line, and immediately ordered Nellis to start arranging the demon legion, the number of enemies is a bit large, but reinforcements will soon arrive on the Royal Port side, and Naris's demon legion can be used for field battles, and most importantly, most of Sarin's orange and red knights have regained their combat effectiveness.

Now there are not many problems, Neris arranged a demon army of 60,000 people outside Ceylon City, and she took 30,000 demons to Shining Sun City. The sixty thousand demons on Saleen's side were enough to help him defend. The recruits are retreating backwards, more than 40,000 people, already familiar with the operation of the army, of course, the field is a bunch of waste, used to defend the city, help carry weapons, kill the wounded, these recruits can still do it, and the combat effectiveness and auxiliary troops are already very close.

Naris turned into a demon god, flew up in the air, and went straight to Shining Sun City. Worried that she was in danger, Salin specially arranged for two ancient warriors to accompany her. The Desert warriors flew at a speed close to hers, three figures flew by from a low altitude, the battlefield below was a chaotic mess, and the Skocian's mercenaries were lightly armed and kept up with Saleen's recruits.

The temptation given by Donnie was too great, and these mercenaries spiked in combat regardless of the danger. Under the heavy reward, a rabbit can also become a wolf.

Nellis didn't bother to pay attention, it had nothing to do with her that these recruits were dead, she sped up and bypassed the main force of the Skocians, where there were too many ninth-level mages that she couldn't deal with alone.

When it was dark, Neris arrived at Shining Sun City. In the city of the shining sun, there are more than 10,000 defenders, and Naris landed directly in the city. There are no magic towers in this city, there are no magicians, and the magic towers outside the city are already their own demons.

The demon god incarnated by Neris descended from the sky, and there was panic in Shining Sun City, and Neris unfolded a magic scroll, which was a ninth-level storm realm.

She had already obtained a map of Sunny City, and the place where she landed was Count Sufonso's home. This ninth-level storm realm belongs to control magic, and the entire Earldom is within the scope of the storm realm.

Salin's request, Nellis didn't listen, this earl's family, it's better not to stay. That false aristocratic agreement meant nothing to the devil.

You destroy my grave, I kill your family. Neris was convinced that there was nothing wrong with doing so, and the mercy of her master was really funny.

In this storm realm, professionals below the third pole will be directly strangled into pulp, and professionals below level six will not be able to hold out for ten minutes, and only professionals above level six can survive in the storm field. Even for a ninth-level professional, the Storm Realm could only be regarded as a seventh-level magic.

This magically controlled area is too large and severely underlethed. And it's a big magic that can't be instantaneous. Neris landed in the Earl's Palace, and it took half a minute to unfold the scroll. If it's aimed at someone, the magic is too meaningful.

In the center of the Earl's Palace, the buildings were all shattered, and in the huge storm area, the wind element could not be controlled at all, and no one could survive wherever it passed. If on the battlefield, this extremely slow magic can still be dodged by people, at least the storm of less than two meters per second is too slow for the infantry.

However, in the building complex, this kind of magic is extremely terrifying, and most of the people in the Earl's Court have no concept of magic, and the soldiers have been taken away, and all that remains in the Earl's Court are Su Fangso's relatives. Except for some disciples in the family, there are not many professionals.

The Storm Realm uprooted the Earl's Court from the ground and turned it into piles of rubble, flying in the storm, and those who were touched by the rubble were all smashed into meat sauce, and after being smashed into meat sauce, they had to continue to fly with the violent wind element in the storm.

With Neris as the center, a bloody space is formed.

Nellis laughed, this is revenge, master, it's just too kind. Seeing that the magic was completely complete, Neris flew into the air, took the two ancient warriors, found a clearing, and began to release the demon legion into the city.
