MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 88 87. Night battle
Chapter 88 87. Night battle
The camp of the expeditionary force is full of scenes of imperial soldiers fighting evil spirits.
The soldiers who woke up from their sleep quickly rushed out of the tent and joined the ranks of fighting.
These evil spirits are very different from the evil spirits I have encountered before. When fighting evil spirits in the past, those evil spirits basically fought to the death and never retreated. But once they can't beat them, they will turn around and run away.
The evil ghost with a Roman sword stuck in its belly saw the soldiers from the second squad approaching, and ran into the tent on the left. After trampling the tent with one foot, it jumped over the top of the tent and rushed forward with He Boqiang's Roman sword. into a chaotic battlefield.
‘My modified Roman sword was still stuck in the evil spirit and I didn’t have time to pull it out...’
He Boqiang struggled to stand up from the bearded man, and watched the evil spirit disappear from sight with a speechless expression.
Holding the dwarf chain shield in his hand again, he pulled up the bearded Cagle who was sitting on the ground with his hands on his chest.
The soldiers of the second team quickly rescued the soldiers in the collapsed tent. Some of these soldiers were only bound by the canvas and couldn't break free for a while, and some were stabbed to death by the evil spirits in the process of fighting. There was blood everywhere.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in other places couldn't stop the evil spirits rushing in from outside the camp. These evil spirits were fierce, with military thorns, sharp axes, and maces in their hands being the deadliest places to attack. They didn't even hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries, and they wanted to kill the imperial soldiers in front of them with one blow.
The evil spirits that poured in from the gap quickly advanced towards the center of the camp, quickly occupying the northeast corner of the barracks.
The camp of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is located in the northwest corner of the outermost barracks, forming a corner with the 58th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment in the northeast corner. The ghosts broke through the wooden fence around the barracks, and the two heavy armored infantry regiments were the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
At the same time, these two heavy armored infantry regiments were the first to organize some soldiers to resist. A large number of heavy armored infantry fighters came out of the tents. They were wearing heavy armor, holding weapons and shields to form a human wall, trying to block the attack. The evil spirits who rushed into the barracks.
Hundreds of evil spirits formed a wedge formation, stabbing into the camp like a sharp knife. The heavy armored infantry line was breached by the evil spirits. The evil spirits kept attacking the central area of the camp. The camp was full of infantry soldiers. Corpses, only a few evil spirits lay in the camp.
The defense line of the heavy armored infantry regiment in the barracks was about to collapse.
The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, led by Baron Sidney, also mixed in the defense line. Although they were not attacked by the evil spirits, they were surrounded by a large number of retreating infantry soldiers and retreated.
A group of heavy cavalry gathered from the slope, and came to this side for reinforcements along the passage in the camp. Driven by the evil spirits, the retreating crowd collided with the heavy cavalry, making it difficult for the heavy cavalry to move.
The heavy cavalry that cannot charge is actually not much stronger than the heavy armored infantry. When the evil spirits charge up, the heavy cavalry can only retreat with the crowd.
Evil ghosts more than three meters long chased behind the crowd, and soldiers kept falling on the way to escape.
Earl Mond Goss tried to reorganize a line of defense, but unfortunately at this time the wave of retreat had already formed. With the few followers around him, there was no way to command this group of heavy armored infantry.
He Boqiang and all the soldiers of the second team were also caught in the crowd. Fortunately, they were not dispersed by the crowd, but were pushed back to the central area of the barracks by the crowd.
Seeing that the evil spirit was close at hand but unable to rush up to fight, Suldak became a little restless.
At this time, the soldiers of the second team were squeezed near the cargo pile, which was full of ordnance, and some bed crossbows that had just been transported into the barracks had not even been opened, and were wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin.
When He Boqiang saw these bed crossbows wrapped in thatch, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he forcibly squeezed away a soldier beside him, came to the side of the bed crossbow, and took out a dagger from his arms.
'Hiss...'.
The dagger cut a hole in the rainproof tarpaulin, revealing the brand new bed crossbow inside.
Suldak saw He Boqiang jumping on the bed crossbow, and immediately called the other soldiers of the second team to move closer to the cargo pile in the confusion. In the crowded crowd, Suldak led the soldiers of the second team to tear off The thatch of the bed crossbow, a black and bright bed crossbow exudes a cold atmosphere in the night.
How to operate the bed crossbow is one of the basic training items for the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment. This kind of thing is no stranger to the soldiers of the second squad.
"Augustus, get a giant crossbow!"
"Kagger, check the bowstring of the bed crossbow."
"Garcia, Little Duck, adjust the pitch angle and azimuth of the bed crossbow with me, and aim at the evil spirit in front..."
In the confusion, Suldak quickly issued a series of orders.
The soldiers of the second team responded quickly and surrounded the bed crossbow.
Suldak jumped onto the console, swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at the iron chain of the console, and the chain fell off in response.
Red Socks Garcia desperately shook the turntable to adjust the front sight of the bed crossbow to a horizontal angle. He Boqiang helped Garcia shake the turntable together. Amid the sound of mechanical friction, the bed crossbow began to move slowly.
Some heavy armored infantry soldiers who still possessed a strong will to fight amidst the fleeing crowd followed the example of the soldiers of the second team and approached the bed crossbow one after another.
Baron Sidney climbed onto the bed crossbow with a few followers, and began to gather the infantry soldiers of the fourth battalion with a long sword in hand, and asked them to quickly approach the cargo pile.
Augustus carried a giant crossbow bolt more than three meters long from the shelf next to the bed crossbow, and put the giant crossbow bolt into the arrow nest together with Suldak.
The bow string was pulled smoothly by the winch, and the body of the entire bed crossbow made a slight roar, and the rune plates inlaid on the body of the crossbow lit up one after another.
Suldak's face turned red, and he aimed at an evil spirit. The evil spirit was picking up an infantry soldier into the air with the military thorn in his hand. On the military thorn, his limbs twisted and struggled in pain.
Suldak clasped the bow in his hand, and the bowstring made a loud 'bang' sound, and the crossbow arrow burst into the air, turning into a phantom, passing through the fleeing crowd, and shooting through the body of the evil spirit , flew him more than ten meters away, and nailed him to a pillar erected in the camp.
The bed crossbow on the second team's side worked, and the morale of the other soldiers who dismantled the sheet on the bed crossbow was high.
Earl Mond Goss led a group of followers, quickly gathered a group of heavy armored infantry, leaned on the ordnance pile on the side of the camp, and redeployed a line of defense, trying to block the group of evil spirits who rushed into the barracks.
The captains who followed Mond Goss released their own "shi" one after another. The phantoms of these "shi" are like bright flags on the battlefield, attracting the attention of some evil spirits...
At the same time, the neighing of war horses came from the central area of the barracks.
A group of constructed knights riding black scaled horses appeared in front of the barracks tent. These constructed knights held black shields and erected their knight spears. Their movements were in unison...
