Medieval Empire Soldier

  Chapter 41 Forty-one Night Raid Battle Part 2

  With the emergence of the bighorn herd, the casualties of the human army gradually increased.

The   horned beasts raised their big axes and rushed into the shield wall. They were far superior to the inferior horned beasts in both strength and size. Several soldiers in the army splattered blood on the spot during the charge.

   "Focus Bighorn! Shoot!"

  As the casualties increased, all forces realized the importance of focusing fire. On the wooden fence, dozens of long bows vibrated strings, and the arrow feathers sank into the bodies of the horned beasts from the top.

The soldiers also stabbed the spears and halberds in their hands with great force. The dense spear formation protruding from the shield array caused huge damage to the horned beasts. More than 300 inferior horned beasts had already fallen before they rushed into the battle. Thirty or forty heads, leaving a decadent body in front of the human camp.

   The battle situation became more and more surprising, and more herds rushed from the northern wilderness.

More than a dozen doomsday bulls with a height of more than three meters appeared in front of the battlefield. The powerful and robust monsters held long axes and heavy hammers that were almost equal to their heights, and their hoofs vigorously moved pieces of soil. Their scarlet beast eyes were full of killing. Desire and endless thirst for the flesh of the hoofless.

   "Damn it! Why is the Beastman Supper in the Baron of Yorn!"

   White Wolf Knight Creel swung the wolf-headed warhammer repeatedly, and every blow could take away a blasphemous life, surrounded by the remains of beasts, with their internal organs scattered.

  The ten white wolf knights followed closely. Their valiant battles were worthy of the name of Uric's Hammer, and they brought damage to the Beastmen several times their own.

   Behind the white wolf knights, the Uric friars in Bray Town are advancing step by step.

  The black robes of the monks were already stained with blood. I don't know how many Chaos War Mastiffs and bad-horned beasts crashed to death on the battle shield. These monks wore breastplates and helmets, and used the hammer shield to launch a fierce blow at the enemy.

   They are the backbone of the guardian of the Temple of Uric, and their ascetic life makes their fighting skills and strength far superior to ordinary soldiers.

   "For Uric!"

   "For Uric!!"

   The pious cries of war inspired the nearby allies, the morale of the troops stationed in Draven gradually stabilized, and the battle situation became increasingly anxious.

   On the other side of the battlefield, the baronial residence of Jon.

  The hastily formed defense was chaotic. When the bighorn beasts rushed up, the baronial army paid dozens of people to push the beastmen out of the camp again.

The archers in the back row shot at the front, causing a lot of damage to the beasts outside the camp. Even if the moon was shining, they could only see the surging shadows of the beasts in their field of vision. , the bowmen are just consuming the number of arrow feathers in vain.

  Yug Yoen led a group of his followers to surround the tent nervously. This was the safest place, with more than 200 people standing there.

  At the same time that the front-line soldiers suffered huge damage, the roadblocks and platforms built around the middle camp were finally ready. Occasionally, the horned beasts that rushed to the second layer of defense would be quickly shot by arrows and nailed to the ground.

   "Lord Baron, the defense line around the tent has been built! What should we do next?"

   A ranger knight reported that there were only a few high-ranking knights left in the tent, and they looked up at Baron Jon.

   "What should we do next?" Baron Jon was blinded by the sudden arrival of the Beastmen army.

  He looked uncertainly at every cronie in the account, expecting a reply.

  Everyone bowed their heads in silence, avoiding Baron Yorn's gaze.

  In their hearts, there are only two options, either stick to the defense line and wait for reinforcements who do not know where they will come from; or abandon the soldiers on the outer defense line and use their precious time to escape.

   "Yoger, come on!"

"Father, let's temporarily guard the second release. The number of beastmen is unknown, and I am afraid that the loss will be even more if we break through." Had no choice but to do this.

   "That's the only way to do it"

   Baron Yorn sighed and acquiesced.

   "My lord! The doomsday bull is rushing over!" There was a cry from the top of the walled tower at Draven's station.

  Krill took a deep breath, his wolf eyes stared at the Doomsday Bull, his white wolf knights had already lost three people, and a monster like the Doomsday Bull could not be easily killed.

   Just as the Human Front regrouped, the battle took a turn.

The horned beasts began to retreat, and the intensity of the battlefield made them terrified. The stubborn resistance of humans made the shield wall so sturdy that it could not break through, especially those human cans. They were like human-shaped meat grinders among the beasts. Even hundreds of horned beasts died under their warhammers.

  The iron boots stepped on the blood-soaked and soft ground, and the flesh and blood made a puffing sound. Laylen led the Oak Village army to advance forward, slowly resisting forward step by step.

   "Humans. Solid, beasts. Retreat!"

   At the very end of the battlefield, an upright giant horned beast with a height of two meters opened its **** mouth and blew the horn of the Doomsday Bull: "Duwu~~Duwu~~~"

The beastmen at the forefront of the battlefield who beat humans to death heard the sound of the horn, and immediately retreated. They left behind a large number of corpses of their own clan, and from the back of a dozen doomsday bulls, they withdrew from the northern wilderness like a tide. The faint green light of Brie concealed the escape of the Beastmen.

   These damned chaotic creatures are attacking very fast, and many ranger knights wanted to ride on horses to chase and kill, but were stopped by Krill.

  The white wolf knight knows the cunning of these creatures in the deep forest. The fires around the camp are all extinguished, and the evil moon makes people feel uneasy. At this moment, they are very easy to be ambushed by chasing them out.

   "Hoohoo."

  The shield wall of Oak Village was separated, and Gavin, who was out of breath, slowly stood up and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

   After a battle, his shirt on his back was wet with sweat, and his arms were sore from prolonged exertion, which instantly swept his consciousness.

Most of the soldiers in Oak Village around    were pale, and their sweat was dripping drop by drop, and their tense nerves never relaxed.

On the outer layer of the camp, blood splattered all over the land, and it was impossible to tell which was human blood and which was animal blood. When many soldiers saw blood for the first time, they only felt that their stomachs were churning. about to vomit.

  Laylen also felt tired. The knight's plate armor had been worn since the beginning of the battle, and he had been fighting with a heavy load. His physical strength was exhausted. Although the power of the Heram Warhammer was strong, its weight was also far greater than that of ordinary warhammers.

   Coupled with the constant activation of the Flare Technique by the Kingdom Knights, the stored magic wind is also approaching depletion.

   If the Beastmen attack again, he really can't stand it anymore.

   "The strength is still not enough."

  Many ranger knights exhaled heavily. At this moment, like ordinary soldiers, they were glad they survived.

One night after the attack, the affairs officer at the Draven station quickly counted the casualties, losing more than 60 soldiers and eight knights, including three white wolf knights, and the beastmen who died in front of the human defense line. Preliminary calculations exceeded 150, and there were nearly 100 horned beasts and chaotic war mastiffs shot by bowmen outside the camp.

  The center of Draven Station, the largest tent.

  Clear's fine steel armor has not been replaced, and there are conspicuous bloodstains on the corners. After listening to the casualty report from the officer on the side, he sighed: "The loss is heavy."

The total number of   Dravin's army was only more than 260 people, and he lost one-fifth of it in a night attack. If the soldiers under his command face the Beastmen in the wilderness, I am afraid they will pay an equal number of casualties.

  Fortunately, Lallen's army suffered relatively minor losses, with no casualties except for a few wounded soldiers.

   "The Beastman army is so close, why didn't our scouts report it?" The White Wolf Knight couldn't figure out the reason. At this moment, his disgust for Yogg Yoen's pre-war deployment was greatly deepened.

   Nobody can answer this question.

  Lerron, who was standing on the other side, was also thinking hard. His system sand table would reveal all the forces in a three-kilometer radius, but there was no hint of this night attack without any warning.

  The knights of the kingdom had to think of the sacrifices of the Norsca people, perhaps some kind of chaotic force covered up the traces of the beastmen.

   "How's Baron Jon's garrison? How are their soldiers damaged?" Seeing that no one answered his question, Krill frowned and asked the officer aside.

   "The dispatched messengers haven't returned yet. It seems that Baron Jon has not counted them yet."

   "Before the night attack, all the knights of the Baron of Yon rested, and their army was still noisy while we built our defenses."

   "A bunch of rubbish!" The white wolf knight smashed the tabletop angrily, the legs of the table broke suddenly, and there was a not-so-shallow depression on the tabletop.

   "Let's fight like this, let alone a few days! Just a steady stream of Beastmen can drag the war to a month!"

   "The army lost so much, what did they use to kill the 'Lone Wolf' Kordrog?!"

   Once the Beastmen repeatedly harassed and continued to fight, the situation would only become more unfavorable for the human army.

   This time, the Beastmen really retreated cleanly, leaving behind a lot of human corpses.

  The knights sent scouts one after another to prevent the creatures in the deep forest from attacking again, but they disappeared without a trace, and no trace was found until they approached the Black Crow Bridge.

   The corps of the deceased was carried by the troop militias and buried in the large pit dug in advance. The firewood in the camp was not enough to cremate all the corpses. Some of the knights who died in the battle would be sent back to their respective families and finally buried in the grave garden of Moore, the **** of death.

   And the Beastmen are poisonous all over their bodies. If they are left unchecked, this land will be corroded by the power of Chaos, and the few firewoods have to be used to cremate them.

  In the vast territory of the empire, the most important reason why slash and burn cannot be achieved is the threat of corruption of different degrees.

   Even if a little chaotic power is mixed into the cultivated land, the grains that are planted will even shed blood, and different livestock will be transformed into beastmen overnight, and they will harm mankind from then on.

  If you want to reclaim more territory, you must have a corresponding method to suppress the spread of Chaos corruption, such as a worshipped shrine, a church of the **** of order, or regular and continuous purification rituals.

   After the night watchmen were re-deployed, many knights were so tired that they took off their armor and fell asleep regardless of the blood.

  A large number of wounded were lying in several tents in the camp screaming. Several pharmacists and the army chaplain of the Serena Church were in a hurry.

  More people just find a place to shelter from the wind and sleep with their heads covered.

   Ask for tickets and collections!

   There is no second update tonight, the author went to dinner
