788 Trap
In the era of cold weapon warfare, generals often decide whether an army is strong or not.
No matter how sophisticated the equipment, no matter how rigorous the training, if the general is a coward who dares not go to the battlefield, or even dare to go to the front line under the protection of his own soldiers, then this army will soon be abandoned and become a glorious one. A miscellaneous army.
And if an already powerful army has a more powerful or even brave general, then everyone will be surprised by the combat effectiveness it unleashes.
This is the current situation. Tina and Beta are both leaders in the eyes of the Holy Guard. If they can take the initiative to stand in the front, the nobles will not hesitate to die, let alone ordinary soldiers like them.
Although there are less than forty people on Beta's side, the momentum is frighteningly strong. Let alone an army, even if there is a giant dragon, it is estimated that this group of elite holy guards will dare to charge forward.
Behind the two carriages was an infantry regiment of nearly 400 people, and a light cavalry team of about 100 people.
Looking at this scene, Tina turned her head and said in Beta's ear: "It seems that your guess has come true. The other party is not a good person. However, it is a bit surprising that they came so late."
One or two strands of pale golden hair were blown by the breeze from Tina's earlobe to Beta's face, making his cheeks itchy.
At the same time, there was also a faint, indescribable fragrance of flowers that reached Beta's nose.
"It's convenient to kill people when it's dark." Beta said calmly: "Besides, we have many seriously injured soldiers. If they want to come, we shouldn't be able to go far."
While the two were talking, two carriages and an army of about 500 people stopped a hundred meters in front of them.
It was getting dark, and two people came over from the other side, each holding a torch.
"Dear Ms. Tina." The visitor is a man with a relatively old face, and his true age cannot be seen. He was wearing brown leather armor, which was a bit old, and there was a strange smell of steamed bread on his body: "In the two carriages, there are the 'clues' given to you by the lord, very heavy 'clues'.
Judging from the sound of the carriages moving, the contents of the two carriages were indeed very heavy.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and Tina smiled and asked: "What kind of clue requires two carriages to carry, and it is so heavy, it can't be yellow, right?"
"If it's yellow, then the number is too big." The mature man's face narrowed and he smiled flatteringly: "Madam, this is off-white."
Indeed, if it were gold coins, the weight would be at least close to ten thousand. It's not that the lives of the Holy Guards are not worth so much money, after all, life is priceless, but most people are not willing to pay so much money to compensate dozens of Holy Guards, which cost about a hundred gold coins to survive.
But if it were a silver coin, multiplied by dozens of times the weight, it would be almost as heavy.
"It's gray." Tina thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay, then I'll thank your lord for me."
Tina waved her hand, asking a few Holy Guards to go over and drive the carriage over.
But the flattering man suddenly said: "Madam, please go up and have a look, so as not to say that we lied to you. After you pulled the carriage back, something was missing. We will not admit it."
Tina smiled: "If you don't admit it, it's not your lord's turn to deny it. If it's not enough, we will come over again when we have time."
If we come here again, there won’t be dozens of people there, but maybe hundreds or thousands of people.
Everyone could clearly hear the faint threat in Tina's words.
The adult man's face fell: "Madam, the lord has told me that you must go to the carriage and count the number, otherwise I will definitely be punished when I go back."
"Whether you are punished or not is none of my business." Tina scolded angrily, and then continued to wave, asking the Holy Guards to go up and drag the two carriages over.
Seeing this, the man said anxiously: "Ms. Tina, please give me a way to survive."
Tina was unmoved.
The man sighed, and without any warning, he threw a powder bag heavily on the ground.
A piece of white smoke and dust shook up. Tina covered her nose and retreated quickly. She was not contaminated, but even so, she felt her eyes and nose were a little burning.
Paprika!
After throwing this thing away, the adult man turned into a black mist and quickly retreated to the rear, then waved his hand to the front: "I didn't fall for the trick, kill them."
With this lead, the light cavalry at the rear moved, split into two groups and circled around from both sides of the road, and started to accelerate.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the phalanx of four hundred infantry moved, and they began to charge.
When Tina saw this, she was extremely panicked and said, "You guys actually dare to take action?"
Then she turned around and ran away. By this time, Beta had already run away.
"Is this the paladin?" The man hiding in the crowd was surprised and felt something was wrong.
But no matter what, five hundred versus forty, no matter how you look at it, their side will not lose. The same applies even if the opponent has a famous paladin.
Paladins are humans, not gods. No matter how powerful they are, they will still get tired. What's more, this is a female paladin, so her strength must be compromised.
Putting down the uneasiness in his heart, the man directed the infantry to move forward.
Tina ran away very quickly, and when the Holy Guards nearby saw Tina running away, they also ran behind. It's just that they seemed a little calm when they were running.
No matter how fast the Holy Guards and Tina ran, they could not outrun the cavalry. After about thirty seconds, the cavalry were about to catch up with Tina. The distance between the two was only twenty meters.
The leading cavalry was very excited. Before coming, the lord promised that if he could capture the paladin Tina, he would get fifty gold coins.
This money is enough for him to live peacefully for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, Tina stopped and turned back to smile.
An unpleasant feeling arose in the mind of the leading cavalryman, and then he suddenly saw a thick stone wall, as if it had been suddenly flipped over, appearing five meters in front of him.
He could even see that there were densely packed stone spikes on the stone wall.
These long stone nails are very thick and not sharp enough. Under normal circumstances, no one should be injured if they step on them.
But in a high-speed charge, these stone nails will definitely turn into sharp thorns.
It’s over!
The leading cavalryman only expressed this thought, and then he and his horse rushed to the stone wall.
With a snap, a big red flower appeared on the wall.
Then, although the cavalry behind them also discovered the stone wall in front of them, they were not able to stop easily after charging. They were like moths rushing to the flame, and they hit the stone wall one by one with desperate eyes.
Although there were already many people and horses hanging on the stone wall in front, people from behind kept bumping into them, and the people and horses in front turned into meat paste in a few seconds.
After more than a hundred soldiers and cavalry all crashed into it, a thick layer of red flesh was already stuck to the stone wall.
Only a few of the last few cavalrymen survived, while those in front were reduced to pulp, giving them a huge buffer.
But when they struggled down from the stone wall, their whole bodies felt like they had been drenched in ketchup.
