Arad's Sword

Chapter 118 Surprise Attack on Flowing Water County

In just a few ten minutes, the ice surface has gradually formed. The adventurers who exhausted their magic power retreated, and the replacements skillfully entered the eye of the formation, continuing to drive the ice bridge to extend and grow silently.After two rounds of replacements, it was finally finished.

This ice bridge floats on the water surface, with a thickness of more than one and a half meters. The lower part is supported by the relatively soothing deep water flow, which is enough to withstand the trampling of the light cavalry when they sprint with all their strength. Not only that, at the point where it connects with the opposite bank, the Ice Division They have deliberately increased the width, so that it is easier to expand the formation.

And more importantly, the ice bridge was dyed, and the overall appearance was not pure white, but gray and black.

Although there are many patrolling soldiers in Liushui County, light shines from the turret from time to time.However, in this dark night, a black ice bridge on the water is not conspicuous at all.

However, at this moment, the preparations are not over yet.

Another adventurer stepped forward quickly. This is a master craftsman who specializes in surveying and mapping.He came from Xu Zu, a far northern country in Arad, and he knew the properties of ice very well.

I saw the craftsman skillfully showed several tools in his hand, poked into the ice, and sprinkled some strange powder on the ice bridge from time to time. After a few minutes, he nodded slightly and made a gesture.

On a dark and windy night, the expensive dumb lotus and felt blankets, the one-hour homework of a group of icemakers, and the reinforcement of a master craftsman, when all these conditions are integrated, Midi can Finally, on the turbulent Daim River, under the eyes of the Black Flame Legion, an ice bridge that could bear the charge of heavy cavalry was forcibly shaped.

Then, abruptly create an opportunity for a surprise attack that ordinary people can't imagine!
Everything is ready, just waiting for an order.But at this moment, the well-trained cavalry of the Golden Branch Legion hesitated instead.

You know, on the other side of the river, there are a full 2000 enemies stationed, while your own side has only [-] people. Just rushing over like this is equivalent to moths to the flame.What's worse, the ice bridge is easy to build and even easier to dismantle. Once a surprise attack is launched, the layout here will be completely exposed. Presumably the first thing the Black Flame Legion will do is to outflank the ice bridge from behind and demolish the ice bridge, right?
At that time, with no way of retreat, facing numerous enemies and city walls, obstacles, and turrets, what can this cavalry team of only 2000 people do?It's like a turtle in a urn who threw himself into the trap!
The Golden Branch cavalry are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die so simply, so they are hesitating.Because they don't know, what is waiting at the end is miraculous glory and victory, or stupid death?
However, at this moment, Midi was the first to arrive at the forefront of the entire cavalry array.

His crotch is not the northern pure-blooded war horse of the Golden Branch Legion, but the huge blood-toothed leopard that has accompanied him to win countless victories since the noble war.This leopard was also dispatched from Eagle's Nest along with the ice masters.

At this moment, in the dark night, the eyes of the blood-toothed leopard shone with a cold green light, and the blood-colored fangs protruded, making it look extremely ferocious.However, under the control of the black-haired boy, it appeared to be well-behaved and quiet, without making any sound, as if it was waiting to ambush its prey.

Wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword, the young man is full of strength and a chiseled cheetah.

The rider and mount stood quietly at the forefront of the array, like the tip of an arrow or the sharp edge of a sword.

A follower followed, then another.

Those who showed their positions and attitudes with their actions were not the cavalry in the Golden Branch Group who thought they would take death at home, but adventurers of civilian origin.Odell, Irene, and Kelvin, one by one, followed Midi without hesitation, waiting for the command to charge.

It's not that they are not afraid, but rather than fear and hesitation, they believe in this black-haired boy who once performed miracles.

Seeing that even the adventurers were fearless, the Golden Branch cavalry finally couldn't hold back their faces.

Even these groups who have always been regarded as mercenary by soldiers, open to money, have no discipline at all, and know nothing about war have shown such an attitude. What's the difference?
In an instant, the entire cavalry formation was shocked, and then tightened and pressed up, using Midi as the sharp edge, forming a huge spear, pointing directly at Liushui County across the river.

Looking back at the standing army and the soldiers whose fighting spirit was gradually ignited, Midi finally smiled.

This is the army he wants.

This is what a warrior who can pocket victory looks like.

"Follow my sword! I will give you victory and glory!" Midi shouted, swiping down the big sword in his hand, with a flickering cold light.

Accompanied by this ray of light, the cavalry finally began their indomitable charge.

When the iron hooves of the Golden Branch Legion set foot on the west bank of the Daime River, most of the soldiers of the Black Flame Legion were still asleep.

With Midi and the Bloodfang Leopard clearing the way at high speed, the cavalry of the Golden Branch Legion rushed into the sleeping Liushui County like a rushing wave, holding their spears.

They quickly gathered behind the most experienced veterans, forming sharp arrows, piercing through the streets of Flowing Water County, like extremely sharp daggers, flying back and forth close to the ground, Rip the Night Watch to pieces.

Shocking shouts finally sounded at this moment, waking up countless Black Flame soldiers, and when the real main force began to put on their armor, flames as red as blood had already burned all over Liushui County.

Flowing Water County is not a fortress, but a front-line base for attack. Naturally, there are many supplies piled up in it, and the main target set by Midi for this raid is these supplies.The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. In this case, if it is to be destroyed, of course, destroying the food and grass will be more effective.

In an instant, one granary after another was burned, and a large number of horses were released from the stables, and some tails were even doused with oil and set on fire.The entire Flowing Water County was in chaos. It wasn't until almost half of the granaries were set ablaze that the Black Flame Legion finally managed to assemble a team and began to organize a counterattack.

The head of the Black Flame Legion, known as General Scar, and known for his fierceness, Sinda Seth, looked at the flames burning everywhere in the county, his eyes were red, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He couldn't believe that his defense, which was built like an iron barrel, could be said to have no dead ends, and it was broken through so easily.

Looking at the golden lion flag of Hamilton flying unscrupulously in the hot wind against the background of the fire, the scarred general grabbed the commander-in-chief by the collar and sprayed his face with saliva: "There is no call to the police, There is no sign, how did these bastards get into my camp, could it be that they flew in?"

"They came from the other side of the river. We just discovered an ice bridge on the river beach near the pier..." the commander replied with difficulty.

"What!" General Scar gritted his teeth, "It's really kind, since you're here, don't leave! Send an order to block the retreat of the Golden Branch Army immediately. They must be wiped out here, and no one is allowed to let go. ! I want to use the heads of these people to replace those burned supplies!"

Under the order, the Black Flame Legion immediately started to act.

The ice bridge over the Dame was quickly spotted, and in the end it was nothing more than blindfolding.Once it is targeted to search, it will be completely exposed immediately, and Midi has no intention of covering it up from the beginning.A large number of elemental mages immediately began to attack, and fireballs like meteor showers burst into flames like fireworks in the dark night, hitting the ice bridge continuously.

Just a few minutes later, more and more cracks appeared on the surface of the ice bridge. Under the high temperature, various parts began to melt. Coupled with the continuous impact of the rapid water flow under the bridge, it soon collapsed completely. up.

At the same time, the Black Flame Legion dispatched several heavy troops from the camp.

The goal of these thousands of troops was very clear. They did not try to chase the fast-moving cavalry at all. Instead, they rushed directly to the three city gates on the north, south and west sides of Liushui County, and quickly built defenses inside. Fortifications, all kinds of refusal formations, in an attempt to block this hateful enemy that has greatly lowered their dignity and lost their food.

Although General Scar has a violent temper and is very conservative in tactics, since he has achieved the position of legion commander, of course it is not a simple role.He saw through the biggest weakness of this raid tactic at a glance.

There is no way out, let's fight with our backs!
To put it nicely, this is the courage to see death as home, but to put it bluntly, this is a group of mad dogs who don't want to die.

Fighting with mad dogs in the complicated street environment will only cause greater losses to the Black Flame Legion. It is better to guard the opponent's only way and be ready to kill him in one fell swoop!

With 2000 people versus [-] people, and in the county town that he has occupied for nearly a week, for General Scar, he is completely invincible.The only thing he wants to do now is to capture as many of these sneak attackers as possible, and then torture them all to death, so as to eliminate his anger at being burned with so many supplies.

For this reason, he specially dispatched three long spear formations of thousands of people. Compared with heavy knights, this unique unit of the Black Flame Legion is specially used to deal with cavalry.Let alone in this kind of street fighting environment, even in the face of the impact of heavy cavalry on the Great Plains, the spear formation has the ability to resist.

Everything was properly arranged, and General Scar finally felt at ease. Although a lot of supplies and food were lost, he could still rely on the Daim River to replenish them.

And then, he can assert that, facing the well-prepared and expanded formation of spears, those Hamilton's cavalry have only a dead end!
"Let you desperate lunatics know the power of my Black Flame Legion." General Scar sneered.

He had already begun to look forward to what would happen when the leader of these stupid raiders was tied up in front of him.
