Chapter 90 The Fortress That Must Be Captured
"Your Excellency, Captain, are you saying that there is a powerful mysterious force hidden in our team?"
After listening to Baron Yess's words, the guard knight Kara was taken aback for a moment, and then a teasing look appeared on her pretty face.
While looking in the direction where Lei Xiao was, he chuckled lightly and said, "Don't be kidding, are you referring to a temporary squadron made up of these wounded soldiers?"
"This..." Baron Yess, who was riding on a tall horse, sneered a few times. Obviously, he didn't think that these remnant soldiers who had retreated from the front line would have much effect on the situation of the battle.
"Your Excellency Captain, don't think too much, as long as I and my cavalry are around, no enemy can stop us."
Carla smiled confidently, raised her whip, and started galloping towards the heavy knight troops who were opening the way ahead.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.
"As the saying goes, a proud soldier is bound to be defeated. This woman is so conceited on the battlefield, I'm afraid it won't take long before she will hit a wall or suffer a lot."
Sure enough, just as Lei Xiao expected.
With countless vultures circling on the battlefield, they marched for about 20 minutes among the bumpy hills.
The sudden situation happened again.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was actually a giant earthen fortress about five meters high.
On top of the fortress, there were figures flickering, and flame flags fluttering, which undoubtedly showed that the opponent stationed there was the Lengyan army.
Under the bright sun, the fortress is located between two lush mountains.
Although there is still a lot of gaps on both sides, if you try to pass under the fort, you may immediately become a living target for the soldiers on the high wall.
What is even more striking is that around the fortress, there are a large number of corpses of Holy Night Army soldiers scattered all over the place.
It seemed that at least a few Holy Night infantry squadrons who had attempted to capture the fortress had already splattered blood under the high wall.
"Why is there a fort here?!"
This scene made Kara, who was still complacent just now, slightly parted her red lips, and was stunned on the spot, obviously dumbfounded.
No matter how powerful her cavalry is, it is impossible to break through such a strong fortress.
"It's fortification."
Baron Jess rode forward, frowning and said: "It is possible to build such a huge earthen fortress in such a short period of time. I am afraid that at least one of them... no, it is two third-tier earthen fortresses." A powerful magician sits in charge!"
"Fortification? There are also two condescending third-tier magic powerhouses?"
Hearing the sound, Kara, the female guard knight, couldn't help showing a dignified look on her pretty face.
As a knight with excellent equestrian skills, siege warfare is naturally the type of attack she is least good at.
It is conceivable that in this situation, even if the strength of the entire brigade is assembled, it may be difficult for the opponent to take advantage of it.
Just when both of them were a little hesitant, a strange messenger with a special blue feather on his helmet galloped forward, galloping towards him from behind, carrying a journey of wind and dust.
"Your Excellency Captain Yes, the command command orders you to capture this fort immediately and clear all enemy troops in this area!"
The orderly finished speaking, and without waiting for Baron Yess to respond, he drove away without looking back.
At the same time, Lei Xiao, who was on the left wing of the central army, also quickly understood the current situation with Chaoyan's soft explanation and the perception of the knotweed stick.
"My lord, in the fortress ahead, there are two third-tier magic powerhouses, and half of the first-tier and second-tier magic powerhouses. There are about a hundred people in total. It seems that this is a special cold flame Army Magic Squadron."
With his eyes slightly closed, the tiger stick sensed and said: "Besides, this subordinate is still on the fortress and found abnormal fluctuations in magic power. It seems that the other party has hidden something."
"Abnormal magic fluctuations? Senior Knotweed, can you tell me in detail?"
Obviously not as perceptive as Chaoyan of Polygonum cuspidatum, he couldn't help showing doubts, and whispered.
At this moment, the orange command flag lit up at the position of the Chinese army not far away, which was a signal for the squadron leaders to gather for a meeting.
Lei Xiao followed the other squadron leaders to the front, and saw Baron Yess who had dismounted, and said with a serious face: "I believe you have also seen that this fortress not far away is the target we must conquer."
The female knight Kala Dei frowned, and added: "Judging from the breath, the size of the opponent should be between one magic squadron and two magic squadrons."
"As a result, except for the temporary squadron led by Captain Chensha, who is responsible for the safety of the left and right wings and the rear of the Chinese army..."
Nodding to Kara, Baron Yes continued: "All the cavalry dismounted, including the guard squadron, and were all commanded by Deputy Captain Kara to attack the city, while I led the three magic squadrons of the Chinese army to support the city. "
"Decree!" A group of squadron leaders with dignified expressions took orders in unison.
"Your Excellency, captain, may my squadron also participate in the siege?" After hesitating for a moment, Lei Xiao touched his nose and asked again.
If the cavalry dismounts and attacks the city, this army will definitely suffer great losses, which will not be conducive to their subsequent actions.
Just on the opponent's city wall, the combat power of the 50 Tier 2 magicians is obviously much higher than that of the three magic squadrons composed of only a small number of Tier 2 magicians.
"Captain Chensha, I think it's better to be exempted."
Before Baron Yess could speak, the female knight Kara put her arms around her chest and interrupted, "You have been fighting all night, so you should be responsible for the easiest security work."
Although the other party's words were beautiful, Lei Xiao could clearly hear a hint of contempt and disdain from them.
At the same time, the other squadron leaders also had more or less sneers on the corners of their mouths, obviously thinking that Lei Xiao wanted to take credit from them.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao shrugged his shoulders slightly, but didn't say another word.
If this is the case, then the only way to make the other party suffer is first.
Just taking this opportunity, I can further figure out what the opponent is hiding.
In this way, after all the knights dismounted.
Kara took a heavy cavalry squadron, three light cavalry squadrons, and a security squadron.
First, within a safe range, I collected some ladders left by the dead soldiers when they attacked the city.
Immediately afterwards, the siege troops of 500 people began to march towards the fort in a mighty manner.
The three magician squadrons led by Baron Yess followed closely behind.
Among the team, there were magicians in royal blue standard robes, and various colors of light shone on the royal standard staffs held tightly in their hands.
It seems that they are ready to launch spells at the fortress at any time.
As for the temporary squadron commanded by Lei Xiao, it was located in the rear of the Chinese army together with the treatment squadron. It could undoubtedly be said that it was in the safest area.
After marching for a short time, Chao Yan, who had just returned to the squadron, who was covered in an invisibility cloak, immediately moved to Lei Xiao's side and whispered, "My lord, this subordinate knows what the opponent's hidden move is. "
