Chapter 622: Hot Wind [Sid]
The first one to advance was naturally the catapult brigade; they had no scruples and had completely placed the array on the riverside without any scruples, throwing stones to the other side of the river to ensure that the banks on the banks of the Ryin lead were unguarded;
Rein's leadership could not provide thousands of solid shields as strong as the North Frontier Pioneer; considering that the significance of recapturing the river bank at this time was not very important, Sid did not order the team to attack.
The vanguard team in the north finally arrived at the shore; under the cover of the shield, the engineers began to trim the river bank into a slope that could pass through;
This process takes a little time; however, since the enemy's catapult was pressing the formation behind, Sid could only watch them working there for a while, and the catapult could only hit more than half of the riverbed, and could not threaten the other side;
At this moment, the riverbed still has a certain amount of water, and it is extremely wet and muddy. Logically, if someone dares to step on it, they will probably be trapped by the mud and will be unable to move forward, not to mention that the soldiers in the north are carrying heavy equipment;
However, since the soldiers from the North have chosen this tactic, they must have a strategy to deal with it.
The engineer who was in charge of excavation put away the shovel and took out another thing from his body. The distance was too far for Sid to see clearly;
"Shide's orders, those things..." Before Sid's order was finished, he guessed the other party's intention from the actions of the engineers: they aimed the opening of the strange bamboo-tube-filled magic bottle at the ground.
The next moment, a strong high-heat airflow gushed out from it, making the engineers' clothes tightly pressed against their bodies;
But what is more conspicuous is under their feet;
In front of those engineers, the originally muddy riverbed was air-dried into cracked hard mud blocks in a very short time;
Then, the engineers went up to make up their feet, and a piece of earth with no problem in march appeared in front of everyone!
This... magic can actually achieve this level? Sid was as surprised as a child who had seen a monster for the first time;
More importantly, using magic in this way does not violate the magician's regulations and is not directly applied to combat! This is opening the way! It is on the same level as using magic in communication!
After a brief surprise, Lein led the soldiers here to fall into a greater riot: anyone with eyes could see that the northern army was about to cross the riverbed!
"Order the catapult cart and the giant crossbow to attack them!" Sid ordered in a hurry;
The soldiers of Rine were barely able to execute orders at this moment; the catapult and giant crossbow were deployed to line up and shoot in the direction of the engineer;
However, the giant shields stood firmly in front of the engineers; a batch of stones and crossbow arrows went down, and only with the huge impact force knocked down a few soldiers from the North, but they soon got up again;
Such an attack is difficult to even delay the enemy's momentum! Sid sighed and said that the northern border has made so many preparations to cross the river!
It can be done to the extent that you can resist. Sid ordered the soldiers to continue attacking and prepare to fight the enemy who is about to land.
Aire, didn't you say it would destroy the enemy's plan? Sid looked up the upstream of Qiufeng River in despair: within the range of his eyes, there were dry areas of broken currents.
The soldiers' situation is getting worse now.
They knew that when the enemy landed, it was their own death;
Some soldiers who were not determined enough had begun to shrank and dodge backwards, as if they were about to run away when they started a war;
Even the part that was loyal to Rein, there was no way to see the strong will the army should have at this moment. After all, they were so tired.
The advancement of the northern army is getting faster and faster.
It was obvious that the engineers had to be familiar with the use of magic; as they became proficient in their skills, the degree of opening the road was getting faster and faster. More than a minute passed, and the vanguard team in the North had already opened up a dirt road in the riverbed;
The attacks led by Ryin were blocked by the giant shield, and even if the engineers in the North were injured, they would not affect the advancement;
Looking at the approaching enemy, the soldiers of Ryin in despair began to complain; some miss their relatives, some resented the fierce northern border, but more people blamed the once hero, but now abandoned Ailey, whom Reiner;
"Mad, this guy really ran away!"
"Spineless thing! The shame of the noble!"
"Little man! I really don't have the courage!"
For the soldiers, the more he respected Aly before, he would be disappointed when he ran away; and in addition, he ran away on the grounds of hope such as "finding a way to break the deadlock", the more the soldiers felt that he was a bad liar;
Looking at the soldiers who were almost out of control, the Marquis could only silently draw out his sword;
Alas...forget it, I have fulfilled the agreement with Olynne to "protect Alay and Fran";
After all, they didn't come to Rein for long.
It is the lord's responsibility to die for the sake of territory!
The Marquis walked steadily down the watchtower and began to move towards the front;
The soldiers' complaints drowned him; as the array had begun to be chaotic, he was not moving smoothly even with guards who were clearing the way for him.
But he was still moving forward firmly.
The enemy will soon rush up; now, the shore is suppressed by the catapults of the northern border and cannot gain the advantage, but when the people of the northern border climb onto the river bank, the catapults will definitely stop! Just take advantage of that time to drive them down! The Marquis squeezed and thought that death would cost them the price!
In the midst of noise and crowding, the Marquis finally rushed to the front of the queue; he had no time to worry about the noise in his ears, staring at the torrent made of the shield when it reached the shore, it was the death of all the Ryin soldiers?
It moves forward with an indomitable momentum, and now, there are still a little more than half, it will...
The torrent suddenly stopped, as if an invisible cold wind had solidified it.
The next moment, it became extremely chaotic; the original momentum disappeared, and everyone was scrambling to flee, and they even threw away the heavy giant shield that they depended on to defend against the stones, just to run faster;
The Marquis was stunned; but soon he got the answer from the majestic and vast rushing sound;
He looked upstream: On the already dry riverbed, white waves bloomed under the wrapping of the river, and the galloping water rushed towards him with a power far better than the "Wrath of the North";
All the noise around me was defeated by the roar of the Qiufeng River! The dark and muddy riverbed was once again covered by the translucent and clear water flow!
The "torrent" in the northern border is magnificent in the face of the real torrent, just like a beast in the forest is about to be buried by a landslide!
