The war, which had been doomed to defeat by the barbarians from the beginning, finally ended when the first warm southeastern trade winds of early spring blew into the province of Sloyt.The war began on the eve of the dawn, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps by God's favor on those who were prepared, and at the very beginning of the battle, Senior Benjamin established the first exploit of his military career.On the night of his rotation in the Knights of the Guard Battalion, he first spotted the barbarians who had taken advantage of the eve of dawn to touch the barbarians under the city and prepare to attack the city.The reason was that before he fell asleep last night, he had his companions tie himself down the city wall, and set up ten vigilance magic traps in front of the moat near this side of the wall.Unexpectedly, there were seven traps that were stepped on by the barbarians who quietly took advantage of the night, ordinary frost scrolls could not bring a little damage to the barbarians, even the feeling of cold was so weak, but the frost scrolls burst out a large area of ice mist, and the ice mist burst out of the seven frost magic scrolls connected the city, the ice fog not only blocked the view of the barbarians, but also woke up the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city wall that were asleep.The scenery under the city was filled with ice and mist, and suddenly shattered like a mirror, and the originally calm dark night scenery suddenly turned into a frozen moat full of barbarians who were creeping slowly over!
The warriors crawled out of their sleeping bags at the head of the city with pale faces, and watched as the nearly a thousand barbarian warriors crowded in the ice fog below the city, stepping over the moat like a bunch of locusts.Benjamin shouted to the herald who was in charge of blowing the battle horn: "Blow the horn quickly, the barbarians under the city have begun to attack the city!"
”The horn made of the long rhino horn of the one-horned bison sounded a dull hum, and in an instant, the entire northern city wall was lit up with swordsmen, and the guards climbed out of their sleeping bags in a panic, looking at the barbarians who were already approaching the city below, and hurriedly carried the boulder from the pile of supplies behind the city wall to the battlements of the city wall."
How, Sentinel?"
A knight in heavy armor strode up and shouted at the soldier in charge of guarding the sentry post, "Why don't you report these barbarians?"
”The soldier guarding the sentry replied with a panicked expression: "Sir, everything was normal in the city before, and these barbarians appeared suddenly!"
”He looked at the knight with a weak heart, and felt a little ridiculous about his seemingly excused for exonerating himself, but in fact it was so.The knight scolded fiercely: "Ridiculous!
”If it weren't for the front of the battle, maybe the soldier in charge of the sentry guard would have been whipped.General Wilimome came over and said, "Don't talk about it, it's the barbarian great wizard's group camouflage technique, hurry up and prepare for battle!"
Herald, find the armor-piercing arrows, we must press this charge down!
”The herald on the side secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied: "Obey, general!"
”Seeing a large number of barbarians from the other side of the moat under the mist, the general who was on duty to defend the city on a rotational basis, Willimom, decisively ordered the soldiers defending the city to directly use the armor-piercing arrows, which was very tough to block the first round of onslaught of the barbarians, and the arrows of the iron-rod armor-piercing arrows with three-edged barbs were made after mixing with magic black iron powder, and within twenty steps a strong bow could pierce a one-centimeter-thick shield, ordinary barbarian warriors only had a heart armor on their hearts, wearing stiff bearskin shorts, and wolf skin boots dared to carry an axe to attack the city.The chest of the barbarian with a height of nearly two hundred and fifty centimeters is very broad, and the strong chest muscles make them not afraid of ordinary arrows, at this time, the huge power of the armor-piercing arrow is undoubtedly demonstrated, and the tip of the sword that is almost three inches long can easily penetrate the thick chest of the barbarian, and this kind of arrow is shot into the muscles a little, it is difficult to pull it out quickly, if it is recklessly forcibly pulled out, the three-edged barbs on the tip of the arrow will destroy the muscle fibers, causing irreparable wounds.It is precisely because there are so many barbarians who have suffered enough under the armor-piercing arrows that it can be said that the barbarians hate the armor-piercing arrows of the human race very much.Armor-piercing arrows cannot be popularized in the army for various reasons, and there are many reasons, such as high cost, small output, and tight military spending are the most important factors.Therefore, on the battlefield, once a human warrior uses armor-piercing arrows, it will be the first target of the barbarians.In such a death-or-death siege battle, the defenders of the city have no way to retreat, and being a deserter is more terrible than death, so it is the wisest choice to crush the enemy with thunder at the beginning.The soldiers of these guard battalions had all learned the art of archery, and a moment later, armor-piercing arrows rained down from the city, and Senior Benjamin also stood in the ranks of the defenders, pulling out the alloy bow with all his strength and shooting an armor-piercing arrow.For a time, the armor-piercing arrows killed the barbarian warriors who had no armor to protect them, and the barbarians who rushed to the front were shot to death in an instant, and the barbarian warriors who followed behind saw their comrades who had died tragically, and instead of retreating, they ran fiercely and more quickly to the city.More than a dozen barbarian warriors mixed in the crowd of siege of the city, the moment they approached the city, they ran in the rain of arrows, accelerated and stepped on the scaffolding of the two barbarians, and were violently lifted up by the two barbarians, with this huge momentum, he jumped high and jumped high, and actually landed directly on the city wall that was more than 30 meters high, carrying a huge mountain axe, and at the same time performing a whirlwind slash, like a dozen meat grinders, blowing a bloody storm on the city wall.These barbarian warriors whose strength was comparable to that of a tenth-level warrior slaughtered wantonly on the city wall, instantly strangled the warriors on this section of the city wall, and quickly advanced along the sides of the city wall, Benjamin happened to be stationed on this section of the city wall, he and several warriors were forced to retreat to the side of the arrow battlement, they leaned against the high arrow battlements behind them, and held halberds in their hands to resist the attack of a barbarian warrior.The barbarian warrior with the axe in his hand had a murderous smile on his face, the huge axe in his hand surrounded his body, and he spun wildly and rushed towards Benjamin, the iron and wooden rod of the halberd was cut into several pieces by the axe, Benjamin and several companions looked at the barbarian warrior approaching like a meat grinder in despair, a huge two-handed sword held the axe that the barbarian warrior had chopped off, and a large knight in full armor stood in front of Benjamin, resisting the fierce blow for him, But the bluestone slab under the feet of the great knight was crushed by him, and the barbarian warrior looked at the great knight who suddenly appeared in front of him in astonishment, and raised the mountain axe with a fierce face, and slashed heavily on the two-handed sword that had not had time to be withdrawn.The Great Knight was slashed back by the tremendous force, and his back slammed into Benjamin's chest, and the tremendous force hit Benjamin's throat sweetly, spurting out a mouthful of warm blood.The Grand Knight, in his fully armored armor, took another step forward with difficulty, and found that he could not retreat or avoid the barbarian warriors.The strength of the big knight is slightly inferior to the barbarian warrior, and the barbarian's continuous slashing makes him overwhelmed for a while, at this time, any move and combat skill in front of the strength is so pale and powerless, and when he blocked the barbarian's fifth slash in a row, the big knight has even completely numbed his arms, and the giant two-handed sword in his hand can't be lifted no matter what.Seeing the barbarian warrior on the opposite side, he suddenly jumped up and "jumped and slashed" The big knight sighed helplessly, after all, he was slightly inferior to the barbarian warrior on the ice and snow tundra in terms of strength, but even if he knew that he was dead, he did not take a step back.This may be the so-called chivalry, Benjamin, who was standing behind the great knight, seemed to have a warm current in his chest, and he suddenly remembered that he had the short gun hanging from his waist, and his hand involuntarily touched it."
Bang", a pool of blood suddenly gushed out of the barbarian's eye socket, and the heart-rending roar was accompanied by the mountain axe, but unfortunately he lost his vision in one eye at this time, how could he miss such an opportunity wearing a full-covered armor, he rolled sideways on the ground to avoid the mortal axe, and the giant two-handed sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, inserting it from under the left rib of the barbarian warrior, directly cutting the artery above the heart, and the blood mist sprayed out at once.The barbarian warrior clutched the giant two-handed sword in both hands, and fell to his knees in an angry and unwilling death.The great knight, however, took up the axe that the barbarian warriors had thrown on the ground, stood up and made a gesture of victory and glory to Benjamin, and rushed without hesitation to the most crucial part of the battle, where the hoplites, who had just come from the rear, were defeated by three barbarian warriors on the walls.Benjamin instinctively looked to the left, only to find that the most elite hoplites in the guard battalion, armed with heavy spears in their hands, rushed here along the passages on both sides of the city wall, and collided with the dozens of barbarian warriors, but even the most elite hoplites in the El City guard battalion were still far inferior to the barbarian warriors in terms of strength, and they needed three to five people to draw with a barbarian, but on this not very wide wall, it was impossible to arrange a military formation, At this time, on the contrary, the barbarian warriors with few people and strong individual strength had the advantage, and the hoplites of the guard battalion suffered heavy losses for a while.His fellow warriors sat pale and paralyzed, as if death had just broken his guts, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.Benjamin ignored his companions, but felt the alloy bow beside him, drew an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver, and shot at the barbarian warriors on the wall.The barbarians on the other side of the moat, driving the Terran slaves to push the heavy siege vehicles, across the ice of the moat, in the desperate cry, those siege vehicles that were more than forty meters high turned huge wooden wheels, slowly moving forward, several barbarians with short spears in their hands, kept waving their arms, throwing the short spears made of pure iron, and for a time the flying spears falling from the sky pierced the chests of several archers on the city wall.There were also barbarian warriors throwing short spears on the siege vehicle, and they were constantly hit by arrows, falling from the siege vehicle dozens of meters high.There was a chirping of the lion eagle in the distance, and the lion eagle knights stationed here by the North Wind Legion finally rushed into the battlefield, for the barbarians, these lion eagle knights flying in the air can only fight with flying axes, but as long as the lion eagle knights maintain a certain height, the barbarians have nothing to do with those lion eagle knights, every lion eagle knight is very strong in combat power, and is good at throwing flying spears, they can even snipe the big witches in the barbarian team at high altitude, sure enough, those big witches after the lion eagle knights appeared, And it was gone.The north city wall was captured by those barbarians in only a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred meters long, at this time, dozens of meters away from the arrow tower, there was a sound of the reed being tightened, the crossbow in the tower finally adjusted the shooting angle, after the bowstring made a loud buzz, a five-meter-long giant crossbow arrow turned into a phantom, with a sharp buzzing sound of breaking the air, directly crashed into the barbarian warriors on the city wall.The barbarian warrior heard a strange sound behind him, instinctively swung the giant axe and slashed back, when he turned around completely, he was shocked to find that a super-large crossbow arrow that was three points thicker than his thigh had approached his eyes, and the sharp conical tip of the arrow was only one meter long, directly crashing into the mountain axe in the barbarian warrior's hand, and the entire giant crossbow arrow penetrated the barbarian warrior's body, leaving a blood hole the size of a sea bowl in the barbarian warrior's chest.At this moment, the defenders of the El City Guard Battalion sounded the horn of counterattack.The ballistae on several arrow towers will aim at the dozen or so barbarian warriors on the city wall, and with the cooperation of archers and hoplites, the 100-meter-long section of the city wall that has been captured by the barbarian warriors has been lost ground, and is constantly reclaimed by the soldiers of the guard battalion.At the same time, a huge siege vehicle had successfully crossed the moat ice, crashing into the walls with a loud roar.The tide of barbarian warriors climbed up the wooden steps behind the siege engine, wanting to support the dozen or so barbarian warriors fighting alone at the head of the city, those tribal warriors who were one against ten were the heroes of every barbarian warrior, and they were using their lives to block all the pressure on the city wall, so that these barbarian warriors could climb up smoothly.There was a loud "boom", and another huge siege vehicle crashed into the city wall, but this giant siege vehicle was too heavy and not too strong, and it had collapsed the moment it touched the city wall.The siege engine had collapsed, but the wooden steps remained, and the barbarians who were waiting below with the huge door panels swarmed up.And the warriors stationed on the city wall, gathered together, with hard bows in their hands, followed behind the hoplites, trying to drive the dozen barbarian warriors who were defending the city head off the city wall.The current situation is not optimistic, and if there is no way to force the barbarian warriors off the walls before the barbarian warriors can climb the walls, then the battle will already be lost in half.Benjamin was mixed in with the crowd, constantly firing his bow and arrows, and naturally he was also anxious.However, those mad barbarian warriors, even if they are covered with armor-piercing arrows like hedgehogs, as long as they still have a breath, they will not retreat.A magician in silver robes sped through the air from a magic sweep on a magic sweep.Benjamin looked carefully, it turned out to be Ethan teacher of the Academy of Magic, and found that his gorgeous robe was embroidered with black magic runes, and the whole person was covered with a transparent air cover, and saw that he landed nimbly at the head of the city, only a few meters away from the barbarians on the siege vehicles, and suddenly stood in the magic sweep, and pushed his hands forward.A huge and irresistible thrust suddenly appeared in the air of the "Air Explosion Technique", and it directly blew all the barbarian warriors on the entire siege vehicle into the city!
Immediately, he stood on the magic handle and flew high, and as he slowly twisted the spell, hundreds of wind blades appeared around his body, and under his precise control, they flew towards the barbarian warriors on the city walls.With the magicians of the Academy of Magic joining the warband, the balance of victory finally quickly shifted in El City's side.As the second batch of rescuers from the Academy of Magic to support the war zone of the North City Wall, I rushed to the battlefield at ten o'clock in the morning to treat the wounded soldiers transported from the city wall with hydrotherapy At this time, I happened to see Senior Benjamin among the personnel transporting the wounded soldiers, he seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and we didn't even have time to say hello.The tide of battle took a qualitative turn when the mages from the Academy of Magic joined in, and the walls that were about to be breached were recaptured by the warriors of the guard battalion.Until the complete victory of this battle, it was already half a month later.The next time I saw Senior Benjamin, it was on the day of the counteroffensive, and I was on duty at the aid station.Senior Benjamin ran in in a panic, and saw him with a haggard face, so thin that I could hardly recognize him, and there was a foul sour smell on his body, I am afraid that he had not taken a bath in a while, and he pulled me from the rescue station desperately to the bottom of the north city wall, a great knight in full armor, lying on the ground covered in blood, with several very serious wounds on his body, and fell into a deep coma.Senior Benjamin said to me in a hoarse voice: "Jijia, hurry up and save him, you must help me save him!"
”I rolled my eyes speechlessly, not daring to hesitate, and quickly unfolded a hydrotherapy magic scroll, at least not to let him die until the wound was treated.While asking the attendant of the big knight on the side to help me untie his armor, I quickly checked the wound, and said to Senior Benjamin: "If there is Senior Sister Mia, my certainty can be greater, I can only stitch up his wound as much as possible, his injury is too serious, he has lost too much blood, whether he can wake up can only depend on his willpower and survival." ”"She's trapped on the side of the temple, and she can't find it!"
He said weakly, Benjamin looked at the stone wall and sat down on the ground all of a sudden, looking very tired
