Chapter 614: Breaking the City

Along with the screams of the patrolling soldiers, the sound of a horn soon sounded on this border line, which also attracted the attention of Silk and Drogo.

They rushed out of the energy channel at an accelerated speed, and their minds were a little confused at the moment.

You know, they were mentally prepared to face the enemy's siege at the exit, so they sped up in advance, ready to launch a charge immediately after rushing out of the exit, break through the enemy's blockade, and open up the situation for follow-up troops.

Who would have thought that nothing happened, but they failed to brake and went too far...

Gently pulling the reins in their hands and controlling the horses under them, the sound of a horn in the distance immediately caught their attention.

Needless to say, the enemy discovered them.

This situation did not make them panic. After all, Silk and the others were mentally prepared to start fighting as soon as they arrived. Why would they feel pressured just because of a horn?

Even after hearing the horn and discovering the target, Silk glanced around.

"Lieutenant Drogo, you stay here and wait for the main force. I will go and take care of them."

As he spoke, Silk lightly kicked the horse's belly and rushed forward.

Upon noticing Silk's and his men's actions, the patrol team's faces suddenly changed, and they quickly turned their horses around and tried to escape.

This patrol team only has five soldiers, so how can they fight against them?

There was a distance between the two sides from the beginning. After the opponent fled, Silk thought it would not be easy to catch up, but it was a bit of a loss to use his ability just for these five cavalrymen.

What he didn't expect was that during the chase and escape, the distance between them was rapidly shortened.

The elven knights' archery skills have always been outstanding. The moment the five cavalrymen on the opposite side entered their shooting range, Silk and his men bent their bows and drew their arrows without any hesitation.

Several rounds of arrows flew out, and the opposing patrol team was unable to dodge and fell to the ground one after another with screams.

Then the elven knights led by Silk approached and made a simple confirmation.

[These war horses are only inferior horses in our Great Zhou, and will never be put into military use.]

Although Silk and his men do not raise or train horses, as cavalrymen who have been with war horses for many years, they can now easily tell whether a war horse is good or not.

Just as they were thinking this, there was a noise coming from afar. It was the patrol team stationed in this area, who gathered together after hearing the signal.

Judging from the scale, there are at least three hundred soldiers.

But Drogo and the others were not panicked at all.

Among the three hundred soldiers, there were probably only fifty cavalrymen, and the rest were sword and shield soldiers. How could they be their opponents?

Before Silk and his men could turn back, the Centaurs led by Drogo displayed their fierce fighting power.

Unlike the peace-loving grassland elves who dislike war, the centaurs who are busy with the reproduction of their race and have not been to the battlefield for a long time are all holding back their energy. This wave finally allows them to find a place to vent!

The cavalry on the opposite side were simply vulnerable in front of them. They were defeated by the centaurs in just one encounter. Then the centaurs led by Drogo continued their charge and rushed towards the infantry units on the opposite side with momentum.

At this moment, they were already charging back and forth in the opposite position, with an unstoppable force.

During this period, as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Shi Lei calmly commanded the infantry troops to form a defensive formation. If any enemy soldiers approached, they would be killed appropriately. There was no need to do anything else.

Seeing this, Silk didn't plan to get involved. He simply turned around and searched the area with his elven knights.

Soon, a garrison camp came into Silk's sight.

This time, the enemy's garrison camp set up on the border was probably full of troops. There were hardly any soldiers in the camp, and they were easily wiped out by Silk and his men without any effort. They then turned back and joined the main force.

During this process, the 300 garrison troops on the opposite side were killed and fled in all directions.

Needless to say, Silk directly led the team to join in the siege and interception of the enemy soldiers.

According to the information we learned before sending out the troops, it takes about two hours to ride on horseback from this garrison camp to the first border city opposite. This distance is neither far nor near.

After killing all the fleeing enemy soldiers, Shi Lei, who was at the center of the position, cast an inquiring look at Zhou Xu.

"Your Majesty?"

That’s right, for this expedition, Zhou Xu unsurprisingly chose to lead the army in person.

After all, in the Great Zhou, Zhou Xu is an important combat unit. He can form an army on his own. His existence can make up for the lack of manpower in their Great Zhou army to a great extent.

Facing Shi Lei's question, Zhou Xu spoke calmly...

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Let's proceed according to the original plan we decided on earlier. Let the logistics troops temporarily stay in the garrison camp here, and the main force will directly advance!"

They do not have an advantage in terms of military strength this time, and this is also the opponent's home court. If they want to gain the upper hand, they have to work harder in other aspects.

For example, launch a sudden attack that catches the opponent off guard!

After simply settling the logistics troops that had little combat capability, the main force began to advance towards the border city opposite.

The cavalry troops went ahead and explored the way ahead just in case, while the infantry and crossbow troops followed behind.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When a large army advances, the movement speed is not calculated according to the fastest unit, but according to the slowest unit. Therefore, the two-hour journey does not have much reference value for them.

They passed through the energy channel and arrived here in the morning, and by the time the large army advanced to the outskirts of the opposite city, judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it was estimated to be around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The opposing garrison had undoubtedly discovered them, but they did not choose to actively go out of the city to fight, clearly wanting to fight a defensive battle.

On the top of the wall, Long Zhantian, who received the news, hurried over in military uniform.

Looking at the enemy troops approaching from a distance, Long Zhantian checked the time and thought to himself...

[How dare you, with such a small army, show up at our Chinese border? It's almost dark now, so I'll let you go for now. Tomorrow morning, I'll lead a large army to destroy you! ]

Unexpectedly, before he could finish this thought, he saw the opposing troops spreading out. He couldn't see clearly what they were doing. He only vaguely heard a rapid whistling sound.

Then, there was a loud bang, and the watchtower they had set up on the wall seemed to have suffered some horrible blow and shattered in an instant!

The flying wood chips even splashed onto Long Zhantian's face, making him shocked and angry.

"What happened?! What did they do?!"

This invisible voice, which already carried a hint of fear, expressed the thoughts of all the soldiers on the wall.

At that moment, many soldiers were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fell to the ground.

Long Zhantian, the general defending the city, was also frightened. His legs trembled, which made him even more annoyed.

However, what he didn't know was that this was just the beginning! The crossbow troops in the distance had already deployed their troops. Zhou Xu had brought four three-bow crossbows with him, and they were all deployed now.

After blowing up the opposite watchtower with a giant crossbow arrow, four triple-bow crossbows adjusted their angles, loaded them with enchanted crossbow arrows, and simultaneously concentrated their fire on the opposite city gate.

Although the city gate wrapped in iron sheets is thick, how can it withstand the continuous attacks of enchanted crossbow arrows?

Amidst the roar, and under the terrified gazes of the soldiers in the city, an entire city gate was completely blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the opportunity when the city gate was broken, Drogo, who had been on standby, raised the crystal iron spear in his hand.

"Cavalry charge! Kill!!"

“Kill!!!”
