Chapter 89 Reckless Charge
('No one expected that this siege that was basically useless would last for three days. The undead army seemed to be completely unwilling to the approaching reinforcements of the principality, and still repeated the slow attack rhythm. From the next day, the undead army even used it during the day.
There are constantly psychics or corpse witches bringing back the skeleton group from afar, and then the intermediate commanders will assign them to the city wall to die. Yes, this is not a siege at all, it is just a siege. The skeletons that are temporarily summoned often go into battle with a kitchen knife. There are many people who fall apart during the siege. Without the support of middle and high-level undead, it is completely impossible to attack the city wall with these bones who are not even equipped with weapons.
The defending party had long stopped using bows and arrows, but kept smashing the giant ice hockey that was originally used as trolling ammunition as stones. The earth energy required for forming this kind of ice hockey was not worth mentioning at all. Lin Neng, who had the right to operate the fortress, simply changed the place where the ice hockey was generated above the city wall. So, he only wanted a team of strong militias, and the stones on the city wall were endless like rain. So, the bowling alley in the magical era appeared, and an ice hockey rolled by, and countless broken bones were hit into the sky. [.z
In order to save energy and deal with possible mutations, even the three mage towers stopped the attack rhythm. However, more than 20 mage apprentices and dozens of middle and low-level mages were divided into arrays and rotated to garrison on the city walls. The high bone density under the city walls did not even aim. Low-level undead often could not even bear the lethality of a ring of arcane. They could pour down all kinds of attack magic downwards, and then after half of the magic was consumed, they would switch defenses with the next group and then return to a safe place to rest.
"The army of undead can't help our fortress." "We must have won this war."
These optimism began to spread among the residents of Vita and reinforcements. However, Lynn and other commanders were really unhappy. The previous several confrontations had proved the cunning and fierceness of the undead seniors. Now, such a regular and useless siege in the city has made everyone feel that there must be a conspiracy.
"Will it be the front that attract our attention, and then use the shadow teleportation elite team to launch a raid inside the fortress?" Obviously, the outpost raid still vividly made Michelle remember it, and she immediately proposed the possibility of re-using the same trick.
After a little hesitation, Lynn rejected this possibility. "The shadow is not a cabbage. Only the undead monarch can mass produce such special undead monarch. If the other party has the undead monarch, the team will definitely not be so chaotic. They will have at most a dozen shadows.
Teleporting half a wing into the team won't have much effect."
Lynn's guess is correct. Now there are only five shadows brought out from the fog of death in total. These treasures are not even enough to be scouts, and the lords have used them for raids.
"Are you waiting for some reinforcements?" Media raised another possibility, and everyone turned their attention to Michelle, who was in charge of intelligence. Michelle shook her head and signaled that she had not received the information. Since the war started, spies in the wasteland patrol back and forth have been almost crazy. If there were indeed reinforcements, the Black Crow Guild would definitely send relevant information.
Everyone raised several possibilities, but they were all rejected one by one, and Lin En felt even more uneasy. Now the other party was clearly conspiring, but his own party was kept in his bones. If the war was passive, it was often the beginning of rudeness.
"To take the initiative back, at least conduct another battlefield reconnaissance to find out what the undead are planning to do." Lin En secretly made up his mind and immediately proposed to organize an attack from the city during the day, use the same trick again, and send at least a scout to explore the camp.
Perhaps there was an unexpected gain from the last reconnaissance. After a little calculation, this march was unanimously approved by everyone.
Half an hour later, the city gate opened and the battle roar rang. In addition to the remaining defenders, three infantry corps and one cavalry corps went out of the city to fight. In addition to Rin and Xueer preparing in the mage tower, the adventurers of Dragon and Beauty were also in the team.
But a scene that everyone couldn't understand happened immediately. Seeing the living give up the high walls and thick walls and out of the city to provoke, the undead army actually gave up the attack. The back formation turned into a front formation, and turned back quickly. The battle situation was so confusing that everyone could no longer understand.
Seeing the undead's retreat, Miku, who was eager to make contributions, did not wait for Lin Neng's order. He immediately waved his hand and launched a charge with his relatives' cavalry brigade. The thousand-man cavalry brigade arranged a fish-sagittal attack formation. Miku snatched his battle flag and served as the flag-holding soldiers, leading the cavalry corps to charge towards the undead's retreat.
Although the ground was covered with the pile of bones left by the three-day Skeleton Sea tactics, the elites of the Principal Cavalry were still flexibly operating their mounts, bringing them closer to the undead rear formation.
The war drums roared, and the cavalry in front of the formation tacitly maintained a spacing of about three meters. The steel cavalry more than four meters long was shining in the sun. The bows and knights on both sides slightly protruded their formation. The strong bows and crossbows that were already full of bows and strings showed that they were ready for the first wave of attack.
Miku's propositions made Lynn very annoyed, but as the person with the highest military rank on the scene, Miku did have the authority to capture fighter jets and launch a raid.
"I hope there will be no traps, the undead army is not that easy to deal with." Erin said from the side. Obviously, Lin Neng and others are not optimistic about Miku's reckless charge this time.
But the subsequent development was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The Cavaliers forward suddenly accelerated again and attacked the undead rear formation. The impact of the rider's rifle was unstoppable, and the shouts of killing were connected. The sharp part of the fish arrow actually quickly divided the undead rear formation like a sharp blade cut into butter.
In order to deal with the harassment of the trolls, the cavalry of the Principality who have been fighting for a long time in actual combat against the border are all elite soldiers selected from one hundred. They are equipped with steel forged armor and excellent weapons. Faced with these siege troops mainly composed of low-priced skeletons, the cavalry regiment composed of 200 heavy cavalry, 500 light cavalry, and 300 archers have become the killing messengers on the battlefield.
The entire team rolled up dust in the sky, the sound of horse hooves, shouts, and war drums connected together. The cavalry rushed towards the undead army with a scattered momentum!
First, the heavy cavalry in the sudden confrontation with the enemy were invincible, equipped with heavy plate armor, and with the backing of the strong armor, they launched a frontal charge against the skeleton archers.
Behind it are the light cavalry that have lowered their speed. When the vanguard confronts the enemy, they pierce out from the three-meter gap between the heavy cavalry like ghosts, and stabbing the hearts of the undead army like a dagger. Every time their spears are swung, they bring up a piece of broken bones. The arrows of the bow knights turn to the intelligent undead above the middle level to greet them. The low-level undead often falls under the horse hooves of the knights without any time to react.
The captain of the cavalry corps, Miku, who was leading the charge, rushed to the undead mage who led the team. He solved the unlucky psychic with two wolf-like and tiger-like tricks. The low-level undead next to him could not pose a threat to the silver-level axe warrior. He and his guards happily launched their own killing feast.
Although there are a lot of people, there is really no high-end product among the undead who siege the city. The cavalry kept driving the enemy to the lake. Seeing that the undead had no way to retreat, the entire army was wiped out on the spot. The results of the battle were so gratifying that the army behind was filled with joy, and Lin En felt something even more wrong. "Even if you want to retreat and leave your bones, this is a natural obstacle. It is a matter of the troublesome skeleton soldiers to drag down the speed of the entire army."
"They haven't cherished these cannon fodder these days, there must be problems!"
The sense of crisis coming from the dragon vein made Lin Neng make up his mind and immediately ordered the horn of retreating, but at this time, it was too late, and the layout of the undead had been initially formed...
