Chapter 364: Wolves
After learning from the past, in order to prevent being attacked by Allen, Reg listed the Thunder Knight as the object of protection. Whether it's resting or marching, there must be heavy defenses made up of storm infantry around the knight of fury thunder. Originally, the Thunder Knights belonged to a high-mobility unit, but with such an arrangement, it became tasteless, making the commander even more stupid and ridiculous.
But the Knights of Fury Thunder had already lost nearly half, especially the standard-level elites who had killed five people in battle. Everyone is a precious asset to Storm City. Facing Alan's team that is far above the standard, in order to prevent the Knights of Fury from further downsizing, Reg knew that this seemed stupid, but he had no choice but to Don't do it.
After arranging the army like an iron tortoise, Reg still locked on Allen and his party. He knew that his own side suffered battle damage, and the rioters on the attacking side would not be so relaxed. After all, every time they attacked, they faced an army that was several times their number. Even if there is no downsizing, they will start to get tired and their combat power will decline.
So Reg sent out a group of Stormtroopers, asking them to search for places where the rioters might appear. Once the target is found, the nearby teams will be notified with a signal, and the search team will form a net to drag the opponent's footsteps, while Reg will lead the main force to carry out a devastating blow.
This arrangement is immediate.
Soon in the afternoon of the same day, the search team found the traces of the rioters. However, the other party seemed to have sensed the danger in advance, and walked away before the search team formed a 4, w+ww. circle, which made Reg stomp his feet angrily.
And in the evening, when the army was cooking and resting, the violent bandits suddenly appeared and slammed the barracks once, causing various damage and then quickly left.
For three days like this, Reg led the army to deal with Allen. For three days, the two sides fought each other. Storm City's army is like a lion, and Alan's team is like a pack of wolves. The wolves come and go like the wind, and every time they attack, they will tear a piece of flesh from the lion. Then before the lion could fight back, the wolves fled away, leaving the lions with strength but no use for it.
In such entanglements, Allen also suffered losses. Four Mountain King fighters and one Dark Blade were killed in battle one after another, and the team had to leave before even the corpses could be retrieved, which shows how short and intense each battle is.
By the fourth day, Reg's eyes were red. In the past few nights, he had no chance to fall asleep at all, and every night he would take a nap with his clothes on, and get up immediately when there was any trouble. However, this kind of persistence is not without rewards. The information sent back by the search teams that have been sent out shows that not only has the wolf pack been reduced, but the opponent's fighters have also been injured.
At noon this day, Reg got the latest information. The wolves had already started to shift, they no longer hovered nearby, but left in a straight line towards the blood rock wasteland. Reg sneered, knowing that the time had come to counterattack with all his strength.
soon,
The army marches out. This time, the cavalry was no longer under heavy protection, and led by Reg, they went straight to the wolves. The storm infantry advanced at full speed, following behind the cavalry in a rapid march. As a result, the team naturally lengthened, and even people kept falling behind. But at least Reg guarantees that more than half of the combat power can catch up with the wolves and start the final decisive battle.
Maybe the gods haven't abandoned him yet. In the evening, the setting sun dyed the wilderness red like blood. Reg saw the wolves in front of him from a distance. They seemed to be exhausted, resting on some low hills. Reg didn't hide it, anyway, in this flat environment, they couldn't outrun the cavalry no matter what, so they simply galloped on horseback. Dozens of cavalry stepped on a deafening hoofbeat. Two hundred infantrymen followed closely behind, raising sand and dust like flags.
"They are coming." Regis stood on the low hill and shouted loudly.
Allen nodded and said to Belmode: "Send the signal."
Reg, who had already begun to feel his blood boil, suddenly saw a firework among the wolves soaring into the sky, flickering in mid-air, and it lasted for a long time. Obviously, the other party sent some kind of signal. This made Reg's heart sink, because he couldn't think of any tricks the wolves could play at this time. Simply ignore it, just drew out the long sword, and shouted "Charge".
But at this moment, a killing sound came from behind. In his busy schedule, Reg looked back and almost fainted.
Behind their team, suddenly a team of people came out from each side. Among the two teams of ambush soldiers, the knights who ran at the front raised their guns/guns and aimed at the storm infantry. Although the power of the fire/gun was limited and the accuracy was not high, many infantrymen were hit in the thigh and turned around one after another. Then he was hacked to death by the ambush soldiers who were chasing him, and Reg's eyes almost burst into flames.
The ambushes converged in the middle, biting Reg's tail like a big dragon, and bit by bit the Gale infantry behind them. If things go on like this, as long as the wolves in front come to kill, Reg and the others will be attacked on both sides. Immediately, Reg made a gesture, and the cavalry scattered left and right, turned around, and killed the ambush, using their speed to grab the wolves before they could eat them. Reg wanted to give priority to solving the ambush.
But he never thought that Allen didn't even think about hiding and killing him. Even if there was an ambush by the rangers behind them, the army in Storm City always had the advantage in numbers. Once the troops from the rear came, they would have no choice but to flee. And in Allen's plan, he never thought that he would be able to eat the army of Storm City here.
He gestured to Regis on the hill, and said, "Leave this to Hansen and the others. We will meet Roy and the others at the predetermined location. It's time to get down to business."
So the wolves left quietly.
Reg rushed to the front, pointing his long sword at the rear rangers acting as ambushes. Hansen, riding on the Berserk, killed several infantrymen in a row, and saw Reg's knights rushing forward, and shouted: "Shield soldiers step forward, set up dragon spears, hurry up, boys!" !"
They arrived last night, according to Allen's plan. After pretending to be Dick to lure out the army of Storm City, the Rangers took over and were responsible for entanglement of Storm City's army here. Now that Allen is leaving, it is naturally time for the Rangers to perform.
Ten strong shield soldiers fought forward, and the tall tower shield plunged into the ground heavily. The shield soldier almost leans on the shield as a fulcrum to resist the impact. Three-meter-long dragon spears pierced through the gaps in the shield formation, one end was inserted into the ground, and the spear points were aimed at the cavalrymen who were charging. Everyone waited with bated breath, and the next moment, the two sides collided fiercely.
This was the collision of steel, and the cavalry who rushed to the front were either turned on their backs, or their horses or bodies were pierced by dragon spears.
Four or five shield soldiers of the ranger regiment were knocked to the ground vomiting blood, their shields were dented, and even a few dragon spears were broken. After this wave of impact, the following cavalry rushed into the gap, but what greeted them was the fire/gun array of the Ranger Regiment. Nearly 20 fire/gunners gathered fire at close range. Even though the power of the projectiles was not enough to penetrate the armor, they still caused the cavalry to burst into blood when they shot at unprotected thighs or hands. More firepower fell on the war horses, blood splattered all over the war horses, wailing sounded everywhere, the horses fell to the ground, knocked down the knights, and the dust and smoke almost filled the audience.
After the Thunder Knight fell off his horse, he bounced up well-trained. Then he protected his face and chest with a hand shield, rushed out of the smoke screen with a steel sword in his hand, and went to the fire/gun team. When Hansen saw this, he jumped off the Berserk Lizard, and with his sword and axe, he joined his elite fighters to kill them, forming a steel line of defense.
After half an hour of entanglement between the Rangers and Reg's army, the follow-up army from Storm City finally arrived. Seeing that there was nothing Hansen could do, he unleashed his sword and ax to force Reg away, opened his throat and shouted: "Boys, retreat!"
The fire/gun team immediately provided fire cover. Although the rangers did not retreat chaotically, they retreated in an orderly manner, so as to prevent the Storm City army from falling into the quagmire of hard fighting after the confluence. Seeing the sudden mercenary group rushing away, Reg spat bitterly. He wanted to chase after him, but when he looked at the exhausted soldiers behind him, he had no choice but to give up.
Over the next two days, there were several skirmishes between Reg's army and the Rangers. It's just that these few battles were intense and short-lived, and the Rangers had already withdrawn before Reg had even warmed up. They're like annoying mosquitoes that bite you when you're not looking. Let you not die, but itchy all over.
Reg is like this now, he can't wait to find out the Rangers and kill them all. But this group of people had rich fighting experience, and they didn't give Reg a chance to trap and kill them. Reg could only pester them helplessly.
Just when Reg and the Rangers were entangled, an army quietly entered the territory of Storm City and passed through the small towns attacked by Allen. Because these towns have been deserted, and because the army and the rioters are fighting nearby, this place is almost deserted. In this way, Maude didn't even know that there was an extra army in his territory.
In the end, this army joined Allen in the forest near Storm City. The army is composed of the city defense team of Suer City and recruits, with a total of about 200 people. Coupled with the two special teams of Mountain King and Dark Blade, in terms of team size, it was equal to the recruits responsible for guarding Storm City. However, attacking Storm City head-on with such a large number still has no chance of winning, or even a disastrous defeat. The two bursting cannons on the high wall are not decorations, even if the defenders are inexperienced recruits, they can easily operate them to cause a lot of damage.
So after the command was transferred from Roy to Allen, the army did not move rashly. They stayed in the mountains until late at night. When the time came to around four o'clock in the morning, this time was the darkest time of the day. There are torches burning on the high walls of Stormcity, but the light of the fires is so dim in the night. The two soldiers on duty at night on the guard wall yawned again and again, their sleepiness almost made them fall asleep.
The tired soldiers didn't notice that there were something more from the corner of the wall and the shadow of the sentry tower.
snake!
