C77 (1/2)
To the Apprentice Knight in the Red Camp, being able to step onto the battlefield as a true Knight was a great honor. Having received six years of education from a clan and Imperial Military Academy since young, this group of twenty-something year old youngsters' hearts were filled with passion and passion.
When they joined Red Camp after graduation, especially the Red Camp, and saw the regular knights wearing full helmets and heavy armor s charging towards the enemy, there was no need to even mention the excitement in their hearts, they could not wait to charge upwards with light armor on their bodies. However, to upgrade from an Apprentice Knight to heavy-armored knight was not something that anyone could decide with a single sentence. Everyone was from noble clans, and the only thing that could be compared was their military merits and battle achievements!
Not only that, the attitude and character of a commander of a troop could also determine the future of this group of Apprentice Knight. If the main officer was tough and battle-oriented, he could easily gain battle merits while the main official was old-fashioned and even feared, maybe he could only be a Apprentice Knight for the rest of his life.
And Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu were the kind of main officials who were loved by many Knights. That was why the two of them were able to call each other back when they were escaping from prison.
Qu Feizhi had become a Red Camp officer at such a young age just because he dared to fight recklessly with his brain, good with tricks, and even dared to fight recklessly. He could really bring his brothers and achievement, in other words, he was an idol level figure in Phoenix City Pass.
On the other hand, Chen Chu was extremely calm. Perhaps in terms of martial skills, Chen Chu was weaker than Qu Feizhi, but the two years of experience of growing up beside the previous Prince and following the Principal of Imperial Military Academy had allowed him to see too many schemes, schemes, and sinister hearts. He could quickly grasp the key points in an extremely complex environment or message and make a calm, even grim, decision. Some people might complain about Chen Chu's actions (for example, the delayed release of water at the beginning), but Chen Chu's subordinates all admired him greatly, as everyone believed that ”the person who managed to accomplish great things was not involved in small matters”. In this cruel battlefield, only someone like Chen Chu had the possibility of living to the very end and obtaining victory.
Now, the Apprentice Knight s of the Red Camp had obtained the chance they dreamed of, with a power of three hundred, they were going to defeat the enemy of fifty thousand!
Those battles within the Moqiu State previously, in the eyes of these Apprentice Knight, were not real battles. They could only be considered to be fights. Fighting with the soldiers who were a little stronger than the Fire Phoenix Empire mountain robbers and bandits, and staying behind to defend, was really boring, and was completely different from their imaginations of rampaging about on the battlefield. But everyone admitted that they had killed. For a warrior, whether or not he had killed someone was a very important consideration. No matter if it was the enemy's soldiers or the citizens of the country, only those who had killed before could feel the sensation of the spear piercing through the chest or the sword slashing through the body. Only when blood gushed out from the wound and covered the entire face could one tell what the smell of blood was. Most importantly, after killing someone, there was killing intent.
Killing intent was something hard to describe, and it was an instinctive sensation. Those without killing intent, no matter how vicious they were, would only appear on the surface. They might make people feel like their faces were burning and their hands and feet were trembling, but other than that, there was nothing else. People with murderous intent were different. They were no longer vicious, but reserved and calm, never threatening people with their muscles or fists. They only used their eyes to look, and they only looked at areas such as their hearts and necks. To be targeted by such a person, there was only one feeling, and that was that one would feel cold all over and be unable to move.
Hundreds of these warriors had gathered together. With the addition of the sharp blades in their hands and the armor they wore, this imposing aura was something that the soldiers under the command of the Eleventh Tiger King and the Ten Second Tiger King could not withstand. Moreover, this was the battlefield that they wanted, the battlefield of hope, a battlefield that warriors would only experience once in their lifetime.
Just like fireworks, it might only bloom once, but it was the most magnificent end.
Xiu'er took the lead. Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi followed behind her from her left and right by about three meters, and behind the two of them were the light knights who had formed the original triangular assault formation. A huge red arrow took advantage of the night sky to tear apart the Ten Second Tiger King's army formation.
Aside from the heavy armor Infantry soldiers and the newly appeared Demonic Beast Soldier s, there was not a single infantry unit that had an advantage in fighting against the cavalry. Especially when the cavalry unit got close to them, it was simply a massacre. The thin leather armor was easily punctured through by the sharp spear as if it was piercing through a window paper. The heavy and heavy horseshoes stepped on the body of the rider, causing the bones to crack.
Many of the Moqiu Soldier s did not even have the chance to see the enemy. The Knights cut down the pillars supporting the military tent, and then threw the basins of the fire in the camp one after another towards the collapsed tent. Some of them even took out their remaining kerosene tank s from under the saddles, and fiercely smashed them into the tent, increasing the ferocity of the flames.
They were already very good at killing people.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a huge hole had been torn in the array of Ten Second Tiger King s by the red arrow. The depth had almost already extended to half of the array. The warriors of the Red Camp were like Shura that appeared in the world. Everywhere he passed, his broken limbs were everywhere and wails were everywhere. The light was endless, as if they had arrived at hell on earth.
Looking at the distant tents which were lit up with flames, the Ten Second Tiger King s were so angry that their hands were trembling. He desperately commanded his troops to intercept, outflank, and surround them. However, the effect was extremely bad. Right now, what he lacked the most were his soldiers.
Although he had brought an army of 50,000 soldiers, after the siege of this period of time, the number of lightly wounded soldiers and the number of dead soldiers had reached close to 20,000. Some of the soldiers started to grumble secretly, saying that the Your Highness Tiger King was only concerned with their position and did not care about the lives of the soldiers at all.
To put it bluntly, the troops of the Ten Second Tiger King s had already been crippled by the Phoenix City Pass, and were afraid. Right now, what they were most afraid of was the Fire Phoenix Army attacking the camp at night. The side of the camp facing the Phoenix City Pass was piled with deer antlers and ropes, and the soldiers were trembling in fear every night. During the day, they had to pretend to be attacking the city, but at night, they had to be wary of attacking the camp. Even the Ten Second Tiger King could not handle such a huge mental pressure, how could they face the soldiers with swords everyday? Right now, the Fire Phoenix Knight soldiers were like heavenly soldiers descending from the sky, attacking from behind without any warning, causing the entire army, including the Ten Second Tiger King s, to near collapse.
It was a good thing that there were more people, and a good thing that there were more people.
Even if the soldiers of the Ten Second Tiger King only dared to take the handheld crossbow and shoot a few arrows outside, if they turned around and ran, it would already be a rain of arrows for the Red Camp Knight.
One after another, the bolt s that came piercing through the night sky stabbed their chests and neck, and like they were struck by a heavy hammer, they fell off their mounts. Then, they were chopped into meat paste by the rushing Moqiu Soldier. Some of the mounts were hit, causing even the riders to tumble to the ground. The sturdy warrior threw away her sword, picked up the handheld crossbow and shot continuously, knocking out the enemies one by one, until she was finally shot like a sieve by the Moqiu Soldier.
This was the first time such a large scale casualty occurred to the knights of the Flamephoenix Expeditionary Force. In the blink of an eye, they had lost more than twenty of their comrades. However, no one stopped, not even turning back. Everyone did their best to lower their bodies and increase their speed, quickly filling in the gap created by their comrades falling to the ground. They then brandished their blades and continued to hack at the enemies in front of them.
She wanted to turn around and save him, but Chen Chu's cold voice came from behind her, ”Lord Xiu! ”Please do your duty!”
