Chapter 125 Where does the army come from?
After deciding to go to the outer city wall and help those people attack the city, Abes and Anivia immediately changed direction.
On the top of the city wall, a group of people had already climbed up. Except for the tiefling, the rest were quickly pushed back by the soldiers who had organized their formation and came to support them.
Abes and Anivia, who were going against the flow of the crowd, were soon surrounded by soldiers who noticed something was wrong.
"Stand back, don't get close to the city wall anymore."
Shields and spears surrounded the four elephants, forming a circle around Abes and the others.
"Are we in trouble?" Abes whispered to Anivia. Although his brows were furrowed, his eyes were not serious at all.
Anivia held the bow tightly in her hand with a determined look in her eyes.
Lord Abes has no problem dealing with this number of people. He probably wants to use his fighting power in more important battles.
In other words, she had to help Abes create an opportunity for a breakthrough, so that Abes could reach the summit through the fastest path and reunite with the tiefling to form a powerful alliance.
Anivia gripped the bow tightly in her hand and scanned the soldiers around her, looking for the best breakthrough point.
As the shields and spears around her got closer, she knew she had to act quickly to create a chance for Abes to break through.
And soon, she saw a flaw, a corner that was not strictly protected.
"Hurry, there!" She whispered to Abes, and the longbow in her hand followed closely, shooting out several arrows like a string of pearls.
This time, the magic arrow used is wind.
Wind magic can often provide protection and support to teammates, helping them overcome difficulties.
Generally speaking, the idea of using wind is to speed up and hurry up, using the power of wind to push teammates forward, increasing their speed and mobility, and helping them break through the enemy's defenses faster.
Or you can create a solid shield that can withstand enemy attacks and provide protection for teammates.
However, if you use a shield, you need to make sure that the shield can be moved during combat to provide continuous protection for your teammates.
When teammates are in trouble, it can be quickly deployed, wrapped around them, and provide temporary protection.
However, this method is not suitable for launching arrows.
Launching is a process in which, once the object falls to the ground, fine control can no longer be performed.
Therefore, the power of wind used by Anivia is explosive.
When the first round of arrows fell, Abes followed Anivia's instructions and quickly rushed towards the flaw.
He swung the half-sword in his hand, and the next moment, a violent storm pushed the soldiers in front of him away and made them scattered.
And the next moment, after Abes passed the group of guys who fell to the ground, the second round of wind also came.
But this time it is blowing and accretion.
The soldiers who were about to chase after them felt an alarming chill under their feet, as if the whole world had frozen in the icy wind.
Their movements became sluggish and they could barely move.
Anivia looked at them coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
She stretched out her palm, and a group of seeds as light as catkins were released from her hand.
After landing on the ground, the seeds began to take root and sprout at an extremely fast speed, and then all the hesitant soldiers were restrained in place with vines.
Abes looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel happy.
Although Anivia always says that her fighting ability is not strong, in fact, her control over the battle situation is perfect.
At this moment, Abes has already reached the city wall against the clock.
He rushed over in such a hurry because fighting on the city wall and climbing up again after being pushed off the wall were two completely different levels of difficulty.
If the refugees and the tiefling who were holding on were pushed down again by the soldiers on the city wall, no matter how brave they were, they would suffer heavy losses.
Seeing that many of the fragments of the city wall they had originally captured had been lost, and that the wild tiefling was struggling left and right and unable to deal with the many people surrounding him alone, Abes hurriedly joined the battle.
Abes brandished his half-hand sword and quickly rushed to the battle area where the tieflings were.
He saw that the tiefling was alone, surrounded by enemies, and the situation was very critical.
"Tiefling, hold on!" Abes shouted and rushed towards the tiefling.
The tiefling heard the voice, looked up and saw that it was him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This man, who was clearly different from the other mages when he entered the city, did not stand on the enemy's side.
Although I don't know how strong he is, with his joining, I can at least catch my breath and perhaps turn the tide of this battle.
Thinking of this, Tiefling swung the double axes in his hands quite violently. This pair of axes were naturally captured from the enemy.
The weapons should be held with both hands, but he held them in one hand each, which surprised Abes who was approaching.
This guy, although he looks a little crazy, is a very capable fighter.
Seeing the enemy coming from behind, the soldiers on the city wall were not blind, deaf or stupid, so they assigned a group of people to go back to defend.
Abes, who had not wasted his energy dealing with the soldiers under the city wall, was waiting for this moment.
furious!
The original anger rose from Abes's heart, followed by a deafening roar.
He rushed towards the soldiers on the city wall without hesitation, holding a sharp sword and dodging their attacks nimbly, but his own attacks were always successful, and if he was hit, it would almost certainly break the armor or make the person fall to the ground. At the very least, he would be dizzy and hold on to the city wall, retreating many steps backwards.
The appearance of Abes caused the soldiers who were assigned to stop him to retreat step by step.
The soldiers on the city wall discovered to their horror that what they were facing was not a simple enemy, but a crazy killer.
Abes's fighting skills and strength made them unable to resist, and they could only watch their companions fall one by one.
In the end, this group of soldiers were defeated by Abes.
And Abes did not kill them coldly, but tried his best to join the Tieflings and help the refugees open more gaps in the city wall to let them come up.
As I said before, the difficulty of rushing up again after being pushed down is probably more difficult than fighting five people alone on the city wall.
Therefore, as long as you can help more people capture the city, it is a sure-win operation.
Looking at this powerful foreign aid who suddenly appeared, the joy of victory rose in their hearts, and the tiefling was staring at the flag on the city wall.
That was the flag of the small kingdom, and all of them present had a common thought.
That is, tear down that damn flag.
The soldiers who were forced to retreat had begun to squeeze towards both sides of the city wall, while the middle section had gradually been captured by the refugees.
Just as Abes was about to take a breath, shadows like rain suddenly appeared in the sky.
----------
The catapult in front of the inner city wall was silenced by the tiefling's crossbow.
But how could a siege crossbow destroy a catapult?
The catapult was still in good condition, but the person in charge was shot dead, so no one dared to go up again because of the hesitation.
After all, it is a difficult task to accurately hit the outer city wall with a catapult.
They had never been trained in this kind of shooting distance before, but had always been trained at farther distances. Otherwise, the friendly troops on the outer city wall would have drawn their swords and fought them.
In other words, without this shooting parameter, there are no corresponding data elements.
In addition, they had just thrown one catapult when the squad leader commanding the catapult was nailed to the brick wall by a siege crossbow. He was dead beyond dead, which made these people somewhat scared.
Could it be that the enemy on the outer city wall is a sharpshooter who can shoot wherever he points?
Since others are now concentrating on attacking the outer city wall, they would better avoid this bad luck.
If the brothers outside suffer a little, those useless civilians will probably start to retreat after a while.
However, with the sudden rise of Abes and Anivia, the outer wall gradually showed signs of defeat, and the commander of the inner wall could no longer care about so much.
It doesn’t matter whether you can do it or not, or whether you have been calibrated and test-fired.
Launch, launch, launch!
There are five catapults on the inner city wall, fire them all out!
Not only can you fire giant stone shells, you can also pile up any small stones you can find around and throw them out at once.
And then there was a rain of stones falling from the sky.
----------
On the outer city wall, whether it was the refugees holding rough metal swords, or the soldiers who tried to gather together and prepare to evacuate the city wall, they were all concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of them.
After the previous attack, the catapult was silenced by the tiefling's siege crossbow, so they no longer paid attention to it.
None of them expected that the catapults on the inner city wall would suddenly activate.
When they saw dense stones flying towards them in the sky, they were terrified and fled in all directions.
Even Abes and Anivia were caught off guard by the unexpected rain of stones, but they did not panic and took quick action.
The effect of rage had not yet ended. Abes waved his half-sword and dodged the attack of the stones with almost impossible speed, cutting the stones around him into small pieces that had no damage ability.
The tiefling, who also had a barbarian style, threw away the double axes in his hands, and with his big hands, he grabbed several soldiers with shields and armor as if they were chickens. He lifted four or five of them up and used them as a huge shield to protect himself and his companions.
Anivia quickly released magic arrows. This time, the arrows were attached with frost magic, which froze part of the stone and made it lose its speed and power.
During this process, it is inevitable that many people did not respond quickly.
But more people adapted to the cruelty of siege warfare and they dispersed to avoid the bombardment of stones.
At the same time, one by one, they also tried to use bows and siege crossbows to shoot at the positions inside the inner city wall, trying to prevent them from launching the catapults again.
In the chaos, Abes once again entered the protection of the Holy Blessing.
And this time, under the Divine Eye mode, a huge team suddenly appeared at the edge!
It looked like there were about seven or eight hundred people.
----------
What does eight hundred people mean?
Eight hundred people can allow the General of Tiance, the Grand Marshal, the Minister of the Chancellery, the Minister of the Grand Secretariat of the East Shaanxi Road, the Minister of the Grand Secretariat of the Yizhou Road, the Governor of Yongzhou, the Governor of Puzhou, the General of the Twelve Guards, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Senior Pillar of the State, and Qin Wang Shimin to control the troops of the world.
Eight hundred people can allow a certain crazy and stupid King Yan to start his Fengtian Jingnan campaign.
Eight hundred people, even if they are actually half as many as half (the eight hundred warriors were for external propaganda to boost morale, and there were actually only more than four hundred people), can allow a group of brave warriors to complete the task of holding on in the face of industrial countries and agricultural countries, ambitious countries and corrupt countries that are still sleeping.
Eight hundred people, if discounted twice, are enough to become a breakthrough in some small countries. For example, among the countries of the black uncles, there are many countries that can complete a dynasty change with only one or two hundred people holding a machete to split watermelons.
Eight hundred people, is that a lot?
Not many, a high school or a medium-sized residential area can have this size.
We can gather and mobilize people by organizing sports meets or distributing eggs in the community.
But what many people lack is the ability to schedule.
For example, tens of millions of people come in and out of the city.
Food, accommodation, transportation, safety... there are so many things to consider.
And what about these huge numbers?
In our country, it is just an impact of a golden week or Spring Festival travel rush on key cities.
The people who manage and coordinate all these aspects are accustomed to this. If anyone makes a mistake in handling this, it would be a great disgrace.
However, any of the above figures would be unimaginable astronomical figures in most countries.
By the same token, eight hundred men have never been important in a large-scale battle.
But in the present moment in the North, in the present moment of the small kingdom, in this country that is divided, divided and divided again.
Existence of this magnitude has enormous influence and power.
Eight hundred people of this size can become a key force in changing the course of a battle in certain specific circumstances.
Managing and dispatching a team of this size is not an easy task, and requires superb organizational and command capabilities. Everyone needs to take on important responsibilities, and only through collaboration and cooperation can victory be achieved.
Where did this army come from?!
Could it be that the troops are coming to support the king?
Abes's expression froze, and beside him, the tiefling's face also turned much lighter, and it was almost impossible to tell that it was the devil's red.
But behind them, Anivia shook her head helplessly.
She said calmly, "Lord Abes, don't you think the silver hair and ice blue hair look familiar..."
