Chapter 2637 Stabilize the Morale of the Army
Audrey and Holden, leading a total of less than a hundred cavalry, rushed to the right-wing position that was caught in a melee.
After riding their horses to the high ground where the command post was located, the brothers and sisters shouted loudly, trying to appease the soldiers of the Continental Army not to panic, and to use the terrain to organize resistance.
On this turbulent battlefield, many soldiers of the Continental Army who lacked actual combat experience had already been stunned by the ferocious Wali bear warriors, and their minds were full of thoughts on how to save their own lives.
At this time, two young men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked them to calm down as officers. People would only think that these two people were out of their minds. Who cares about them?
Audrey's voice was almost broken, and she realized that the soldiers didn't bother to pay attention to her "colonel". In desperation, she thought hard about the countermeasures, and suddenly she had an idea, and she turned to her younger brother and said, "Hurry up and blow the trumpet! That's so powerful, it's better than that." It's much stronger if we shout at the top of our throats!"
"What's a 'trumpet'? Don't talk nonsense! I'm the 'Exorcist'—a bugle, my dear old lady!"
"Oh! Anyway, it's just a big brass horn, and they all look similar. Stop talking nonsense and play it for me!"
Audrey urged impatiently.
Holden shrugged helplessly, pulled out the "Exorcism" from the storage bag, and blew the "Tranquilization" vigorously.
Bards can use magic instruments to enhance their professional performance ability, making the music spread farther and have a wider range of influence.
The final effect of the amplified supernatural music depends on the bard's career level, charisma attribute, and instrument grade.
Holden's bugle is a quasi-legendary magic tool. As a level 12 bard with the blood of a red copper dragon, his charm attribute is as high as 24 points. In the surrounding positions, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Continental Army was successfully eliminated, and the chaotic scene eased somewhat.
Audrey stood beside her younger brother, blessing him with "Sanctuary", "Shield of Devotion", "Shield of Entropy" and "Guardian".
At this time, some officers and soldiers from Feizhen's side heard the trumpets, and they all raised their guns and shot at the high ground where the Zion brothers and sisters were, trying to interrupt Holden from playing the bugle.
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the bullets flying from down the hillside were not accurate at all. Only a handful of them threatened Holden, and they were bounced off by the protective spell blessed by Audrey, allowing him to concentrate on playing.
After playing a "Sacred Song", Holden found that the effect was not bad, so he continued to play the "Song of Courage".
The Continental Army stationed on the right wing gradually calmed down, obeyed Audrey's command, and retreated while fighting. They gathered towards the hillside where the headquarters was located, and annihilated a small group of Feizhen troops who were trying to attack the hillside by the way, further boosting their strength. morale.
At this time, there were no Fizhen soldiers in red uniforms or Vali warriors in the shape of big bears around the hillside. Holden's safety was guaranteed. Audrey didn't have to be distracted to protect her younger brother anymore, so she urged her horse to run down the hillside. , Joined Colonel Carter who led the troops to retreat, and conveyed the order of General Vasa.
Seeing that Colonel Carter was shot in the shoulder and bleeding profusely, Audrey didn't bother to say polite words, and directly stepped forward to perform "Holy Treatment" to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds, and then healed the soldiers who were unable to walk due to their injuries one by one. , Try not to let the wounded soldiers fall behind.
Colonel Carter was no idler, he cheered up after getting rid of the trouble of gunshot wounds, ordered to gather the retreating officers and soldiers, and organized a new line of defense with the high ground where the headquarters was located as a barrier.
At this time, Clinton's regiment had joined Enfield's mercenary regiment and was advancing south.
The position they are in at the moment is the position previously occupied by the Continental Army. It has been submerged by the flooded river, with a lot of water and mud everywhere.
The Fizen troops were forced to trek through the swamps, severely slowing down their march.
The officers have horses to ride without getting covered in mud and water. The infantry was in a terrible situation. It was difficult to pull out military boots when they stepped into the mud.
Seeing this situation on the dry highlands, the soldiers of the Continental Army did not forget to shoot and shoot arrows while gloating, taking advantage of the enemy being trapped in the mud to retaliate fiercely and vent their anger!
General Clinton and Prince Enfield were also trapped in the mud pit, and led the troops to move forward with difficulty under the rain of guns and arrows from the defenders.
"Hey! I said that we shouldn't just want to have fun for a while and destroy the river. It was great to flood the enemy's position just now, but now it's our turn to be unlucky?!"
Enfield pulled his foot out of the mud puddle and couldn't help complaining to Clinton.
Clinton knew this guy's bear temper, so he didn't bother to talk to him, pretending not to hear.
Enfield simply activated the "Holy Seal" ability, stretched out a pair of black bat wings from behind, and turned around and shouted: "Brother Patrick, where have you been?"
"I'm here."
Patrick Ferguson emerged from the crowd in a camouflage cape, looking inconspicuous.
"Brother Patrick, I'm impatient to dawdle in this quagmire. I plan to fly directly to the hill where the enemy's headquarters is located and make a big fuss. Do you want to come with me?"
"Gun King" Ferguson hadn't replied yet, but General Clinton rushed to say, "Your Highness Enfield, Colonel Ferguson, don't be in a hurry. Your Excellency the Governor just sent a letter to inform you that our aviation unit will come to support immediately."
"Air Force?" Enfield scratched his hairy cheeks and muttered angrily, "I don't really like those cunning and weird crows!"
"On this point, I daresay that group of rebels on the opposite hillside will soon come to terms with you."
General Clinton calmly made a wisecrack.
Just as he expected, there was a sudden harsh and piercing croaking in the air, and many crows as big as war horses appeared in the dusk sky.
These giant crows wearing black feathers and beaks like scimitars are the aviation units attached to the Feizhen Army. They are divided into two departments: Army Aviation and Sea Aviation. team, a total of 202 giant crows.
The two Feizhen naval aviation units traveled hundreds of miles to the battlefield of Mijiu River, first landed on the base on the opposite bank to rest for a while, established a temporary ground contact station, and took off again after loading the bombs.
The 1st Crow Wing flew to the left flank to assist the 1st Infantry Division led by Governor Winthrop himself, and the 2nd Crow Wing got in touch with General Clinton to assist the 2nd Infantry Division and the Wally Mercenary Corps Conquer that tough bone on the opposite hillside.
