Chapter 127 The First Battle

After a day and night of rapid travel, the army reached the periphery of the target in the early morning of the next day.

"Listen well, the purpose of this trade route opening war is not to destroy these tribes along the coast, but to subdue them, so it is not allowed to approach the main cities of those tribes, otherwise it will trigger a tribal war!"

"It's four o'clock in the morning, and the whole army rests for four hours. The logistics attendants have to feed the horses with fodder." After stopping, Guan Qing began to order loudly.

Even when Qianli Ma Yeyou was exhausted, except for the blood horses of the archers, the other horses were already gasping for breath at this moment. Energy, the cavalry has two baskets per person, and every once in a while they take out one to feed the horses under them.

Otherwise, a group of people will die on the road!
At this time, the cavalry looked at the blood horses who were still able to do their job with ease, and the envy and jealousy in their eyes were so strong that they almost exploded.

"To be honest, I want to switch careers to be a cavalry archer!" Caressing the blood horses under him, Agui was also deeply impressed by their strength and durability.

But I can only think about it. He himself and the battalion commanders can do it, but for ordinary soldiers, it is not easy to have the accuracy of standing on the ground while riding a horse.

Most of the [-] archers under him are from the mountains and plains, and most of the prairie people are in the cavalry, and even among the prairie people who are good at riding and shooting, there are not many soldiers who are qualified to be cavalry archers, perhaps Only when the cavalry archer appeared in Tiannan's arms, would it be possible for him, the archer commander, to have a group of cavalry archers.

Although it can't trigger a full-scale tribal war, Tian Tiannan clearly ordered that all the tribes along the way should be subdued and not hurt them. They will still be unable to resist seeing the caravans of the Lotus Fish tribe in the future. Go up to harass, after all, the goods are too valuable.

After resting and recharging his energy, Guan Qing divided the army into two groups, with [-] cavalry and [-] archers for each group. He personally led the other side and cleared out all the guys he met along the river.

On the other hand, led by Huzi and Agui, they entered the sphere of influence of the target tribe, brought along the army of priests, and told them clearly and clearly the position of the Tiannan tribe.

"This is the original words of Master Tiannan. If these guys don't know each other, we don't have to worry about it and just blow up their tribe!" Before dividing the troops and leaving, Guan Qing solemnly emphasized to Huzi, Agui and Helian Jiaojiao. road.

Although in terms of status, Helian Jiaojiao is higher than Guan Qing, but she has a specialization in art, and Helian Jiaojiao does not interfere with the command of the army. She is only responsible for leading the priest team to open the way for the army, so she will still listen to Guan Qing. According to Qing's arrangement, after the division of troops, they will also exchange opinions with Huzi and Agui, and will never do stupid things that exceed their authority.

"Huh...Miss Jiaojiao, this is my first time fighting." During the march, Liu Qingyu and Helian Jiaojiao rode in the same carriage, because they were no longer running around, and they needed a relatively stable way to cast magic spells and place them. The place of the altar, so I still use a carriage instead.

"Hehe, sister-in-law Qingyu, you don't need to be nervous, and you don't need us to charge, you just need to throw the magic spell into the crowd in a while!" Somewhat enjoying the feeling of being a "senior", Helian Jiaojiao comforted Liu Qingyu by pulling her hand .

Age and mentality are not necessarily equal. A daughter like Liu Qingyu who has never been out of the tribe's gate in her life, even though she is in her third year, is still relatively innocent, and even worse than Helian who is several years younger than herself. Jiaojiao, at least the latter has participated in several battles, and has led the Tiannan Fleet to sail many times in the past to open up the boundary river channel and accept the escort employment of the Lotus Fish Tribe. She has quite a lot of combat experience.

After four hours of marching, at noon, the army met the other side.

As early as two hours ago, the swaggering march of the First Army had been spotted by the opponent's patrol team. At this time, the same number of regular troops were already facing each other.

They themselves know what they have done recently, and the "Tiannan" banner flying in the First Army has already indicated their identities.

In this case, however, they gathered their troops and seemed to have revealed their decision.

"Tsk tsk tsk, looking for death!" Seeing the other party's posture, Huzi shook his head and said.

"After all, this is their territory. If a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, they have nothing to fear." Agui whispered beside him, but when he said these words again, there was a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"Two commanders, please speak up. If they are still stubborn, then we have no choice but to show our attitude!" Helian Jiaojiao's voice came from behind.

"agree!"

"I'll do it!" Looking at each other and nodding, Huzi immediately slapped the horse's ass with a whip and rushed out of the army formation.

"I am the cavalry commander of the Tiannan tribe's first army..." With a loud roar, Huzi reported his family and made a simple statement of the Tiannan tribe's position.

"Shh...boom..."

Then, what answered him was a scorching fireball. Fortunately, Helian Jiaojiao reacted quickly enough and used an ice gun to offset the opponent's fireball, otherwise the tiger would have to shed its skin even if he didn't die.

"Looking for death! Miss Jiaojiao, please!" With obvious anger flashing across his face, Agui first yelled at Helian Jiaojiao, and then led the team to drive forward, covering the disheveled tiger back.

At the same time, Helian Jiaojiao also led the army of priests under his command to attack.

All the fireballs were of the same size and numbered in the hundreds. As soon as they appeared, the sky was dyed red, and the opposite party was stunned.

The release of sacrificial magic is only affected by the level and energy. Although the fireballs released by the high priest and the high priest have different levels and different damages, the number of fireballs that can be released at each level is the same, and more can be released with each level up. one.

And now the overwhelming fireballs have shown the strength of the Priestess of the First Army, but it is destined that the battle strength of the high priest stage will determine the victory or defeat of this battle.

So, Helian Jiaojiao stood up.In order to provide her with sufficient time to prepare for releasing the magic, Liu Qingyu led the priests accompanying the army to release the magic of sacrifice uninterruptedly, just like what Helian Jiaojiao told her before, just throw it into the crowd.

"kill!"

In the sky, the priests blasted the sacrificial spells, and on the ground, the angry Huzi also led the charge.

In order to strengthen the combat power of the cavalry, Guan Qing took away only one thousand of the two thousand blood horses, and at this time, the other one thousand was in the first battalion of the most elite cavalry, led by Hu Zi, rushing to the forefront.

"Prepare mortars!" Next to the priest team, a team of logistics attendants began to prepare mortars.

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The power of the mortar has been revised and determined to be at 2 points of damage. This kind of damage cannot be compared with the sacrificial magic, because the magic that a level 1 senior priest releases can reach 1 points of damage. .

But the target of the mortars is not the priests, but the fighters. The 2 damage is enough to pose a fatal threat to a 21st level fighter. The power of a salvo of dozens of mortars is no worse than a bunch of fireballs. In addition, the explosion damage range of the shell is also larger, falling in the crowd, and blasting one piece at a time.

This was the first time that mortars were not used in actual combat. After the first round of attack, the opponent was stunned. Dozens of shells fell, and all the hundred or so soldiers who rushed to the front died.

"Extended artillery fire!"

"Shhhhhhh..."

Because the two armies were already fighting together, the artillerymen of the logistical attendants changed the target of the bombardment to the enemy's central army. A shell fell in the crowd, and none of the dozens of soldiers below the NO.2020 level could escape the fate of death.

"Although they are not as powerful as high-level magic arts, they are fatal to ordinary soldiers!" Liu Qingyu exclaimed in the carriage, looking back at those boxy "mortars".

"The most important thing is that they don't need priests, they are steel divine arts that ordinary people can use!" Smiling, Helian's delicate voice came, and her divine arts were ready.

City defense-level magic, not to mention the extremely powerful lethality, their form alone is no longer as rigid as ordinary sacrificial magic.

Just like the 6th-level city-defense-level divine art condensed by Helian Jiaojiao at this moment, its appearance presents the status quo of a fire bird. As the chief priest of Eagle City, the appearance of the city-defense-level divine art is naturally affected by the tribe's worship of the gods.

"go with!"

With a long cry, the firebird flapped its wings and responded to Helian Jiaojiao's instructions. It climbed and then dived, like a cruise missile falling into the enemy formation. All the sacrificial gods who wanted to stop it midway No technique can stop its progress.

"boom!"

Finally, as a fiery red mushroom cloud rose, all the priests and nearly half of the warriors on the other side were reduced to ashes, leaving only a huge pit.

"Gulu Gulu..."

No matter the enemy or the enemy, the first reaction of everyone when they got up was to look at the huge pit and swallow wildly, especially the surviving enemy soldiers, when they turned around, they were so frightened by what they saw in front of them that they even ran away I have no strength left.

"Huh... well, it's scary!" Wiping the dirt on his face, Huzi sat down on the ground, stunned by the scene in front of him.

Priests usually fight at a certain distance from the front line, but even so, the explosion just now has spread to the front line battlefield, and none of the nearly two thousand enemies closest to the priest have turned into charred corpses, and they are in the middle of the explosion. The priests in the center are even more scumbags.

"Snapped"

Suddenly, Hu Zi slapped him hard, slapping him back from his daze.

"Master Misty?" Turning his head, Hu Zi saw Misty.

Although Tian Tiannan didn't come in person this time because of the experiment, but considering the safety of Helian Jiaojiao and Liu Qingyu, he still sent Wulong here to guard the two girls.

"Don't underestimate yourself, the battle between warriors and priests is different, and with the deepening of master's research, the future of warriors is also bright!" Because she sensed that Huzi's state was not right, she showed up, even if she fought After waking up the other party, she didn't want one of the master's subordinates, the chief general, to be so useless.

"Snapped"

After listening to Wuwu's words, it took a long time for Huzi's eyes to regain clarity. At the first moment, this guy was also cruel and slapped himself hard on the other side of the face.

"Thank you, Mr. Wulong for your guidance!" Huzi bowed deeply to Wulong, and Huzi immediately turned around and led his hands to clean up the living enemy soldiers.
