Invade the white dove

Utur successfully stopped the enemy army on the north bank of the river before the army of the Tundra Kingdom forcibly crossed the Naduo River.

The Naduo River, which stretches across the endless wilderness, cuts the Tasa Plain into two.Relying on the natural barrier of the Naduo River, the former Odong Kingdom built fortifications on the north bank. There are not only castles enough to station tens of thousands of troops, but also strong and tall walls. The food and grass in the city are enough for 2 people in the siege battle. Persist for two years.

Because of this almost impossible to break into the castle, the south bank of the Naduo River is flat, and there are no other fortifications.

Marching south for another five days, you will be able to see Odon's former king's castle - Erdu.It used to be a heavily guarded fortress, but when Gaman captured the Odon Castle, most of the soldiers smashed it beyond recognition with the anger of being blocked by the city wall for nearly a month, so the city wall of Erdu was not until now. Can't fix it yet.

Marching southward for another five days from Erdu, you will be able to see the iconic red brick tavern in Stanislav.

This is equivalent to, if Nador's castle falls, Stanislav will be directly exposed to the eyes of the enemy.

Everyone knew that this defensive war had to be won even with the last breath.

The banks of the Naduo River were full of corpses, including Gaman's black-armored warriors and fur-armed enemy troops. The smell of blood was mixed with the smell of corpses, and even the reeds on the river bank turned yellow.

Allowing the corpse to rot like this would bring plague, but at this moment, no one had the energy to move the corpse.

Ten days ago, the Duke of Utur descended from heaven like a divine soldier, bringing well-equipped soldiers and repelling the vanguard that attempted to capture the castle.In the next few days, intensive friction broke out between the two sides, but Utur repeatedly managed to inflict heavy damage on the enemy with almost no casualties on his side.

Most of the soldiers died under Gaman's bow and crossbow, and half of them were captured. After three days of torture, Utur finally dug out a piece of information from the enemy general that made everyone's nerves tense.

——The decisive battle is today.

The civilians in the surrounding villages and towns of the castle have fled to the south under Utur's order, and the rest of the people who have bad legs or cannot travel long distances can only temporarily take refuge in the castle.

At this moment, this stone house built a hundred years ago, whether it is a tower, a blockhouse, a city wall, an arrow tower, or an underground tunnel, is densely packed with people.

The [-] soldiers in the city stood ready with bows and arrows or spears, while the civilians held hands and silently prayed to the old gods, the god of doom, or the devil—may their enemies be caught by the devil after they die, and burned forever.

Utur led the remaining [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to wait outside the city.

The spring breeze is warm and the sky is as blue as washing. It is a day suitable for war.

It's just that the horse under the crotch is a little anxious for some reason.

After stroking the horse's head for the third time, when Goldfin finally calmed down, Utur felt a slight vibration under his feet. At the same time, the [-] war horses that were originally in good order all raised their heads and roared at the same time.

The enemy is coming.

There were roars in the distance, like the roar of wild animals.A low, thunderous sound exploded in my ears, and even my heart trembled slightly.

The horses flicked their tails left and right uneasily, and some timid ones started to retreat slightly. Utur ordered the ears of the horses to be blocked, and the herald waved the military flag. Under the unified dispatch, the army quickly adjusted to a defensive formation.

At the end of the plain, at the northernmost end of the vast expanse, the originally emerald green plain was slowly being dyed white by the army moving south.

Soldiers from the Tundra Kingdom wore white leather jackets, held bows and arrows, axes, and short swords, and screamed, but the ones that carried them and moved quickly were snow-white and huge animals——

Bear.

According to legend, the old god's mount, one slap is enough to slap hundreds of people to death, and a roar can make thousands of people deaf and insane.

How could such a terrifying creature appear on the human battlefield!

What frightened the Garman soldiers even more was that these rumored beasts that could not be tamed turned out to be the vehicles of the enemy army. Each giant bear had a square fence on its back, and ten soldiers were squeezed into the fence. There were about [-] bears and [-] soldiers galloping towards them.

The ground shook more and more violently, and one could even feel the madness hidden in the eyes of the enemy army thousands of meters away.

"5000 meters!" The observers broadcast the movement of the enemy.

The Gaman soldiers, who had always been strict in military discipline, suddenly became agitated.

"Garman's soldiers!"

With the enemy at hand, Utur pulled in the reins and lightly kicked the horse's belly. The steed under his crotch neighed, his hooves clattered, and he galloped from the rear of the team to the front.

The soldiers turned their heads one after another. The Duke's war horse flew past them like a black lightning bolt, and the scarlet cloak fluttered in the breeze.

"soldiers!"

Walking to the center of the array, Utur stepped on the stirrups and stood up on the horseback. The horses circled under his control. He slowly and seriously looked at the soldiers in every direction, looking at the burning eyes of the soldiers. The look of fear.

"Nado's castle is Gaman's last line of defense! Now we are not only fighting for the honor of His Majesty the King, but also for the safety of the empire, for our parents, wives and children. We have seen that the enemy this time Not just people, but ferocious bears, but is that why we look fearful, cower, give up our protection, and let ourselves be slaughtered?"

The roar of the white bear was getting closer, and the breeze had already carried the stench of the beast, blowing to everyone's cheeks.

Some soldiers already trembled their legs and fell to the ground involuntarily.

Utur raised his horse whip, and the long whip wrapped around the soldier's arm, pulling him up from the hard ground.

"Stand up, Gaman people, behind you are guarding your own country, wives and daughters, and glory."

"3000 meters!"

"We have heard along the way that soldiers from the Tundra Kingdom plundered our villages and towns, slaughtered our compatriots, robbed wealth, raped and killed wives and daughters, and they committed the worst atrocities in the name of justice. Are we going to Shall we show our cowardice before the hypocrites of the world?

"It is true that they have bears, which cannot be fought by manpower. But don't forget that our numbers are far greater than them. Our soldiers have been born and died on the battlefield all year round. We have armor, crossbows, and the determination to protect our country!

"Everyone is mortal. Should we shed our blood on the battlefield, or face the enemy with our backs and be pierced in the stomach by the enemy with a spear on the way to escape?" (*)

"1000 meters!"

The enemy's cry was close at hand. Utur watched the fear and anxiety on the faces of the soldiers gradually fade away, and gradually turned into firmness and determination. He pulled the rein and raised the horse's hoof. Pulled out the rusty sword at his waist, raised his right arm high, and shouted to the sky:

"Garman will win, and the empire will last forever!"

"Garman will win, and the empire will last forever!"

The soldiers echoed in low voices, and when the standard-bearer raised the battle flag embroidered with a four-winged lion in front of the formation, the army finally broke out a loud and loud slogan——

"The empire lives forever!"

"500 meters!"

"Crossbow arrows—"

Utur raised his sword forward.

"emission!"

With a single command, the bowstring clanked, arrows rained down from the sky, and a huge black shadow was cast on the plain. In an instant, the roar of the white bear stopped, and the screams of the enemy disappeared. puff.

Utur clenched his fist with his right hand, and the archers in the back row immediately filled their positions. Countless eyes were cast on the enemies who seemed to be fixed in place not far away. He held his breath and nervously aimed at the direction they were going.

After a long time, there was still no movement from the other party, and the white that was constantly surging forward stopped, and the tense atmosphere of the Garman soldiers gradually eased.

"Crossbow arrows are invincible."

Some people have even started to cheer like this.

Yes, no one can escape Garman's crossbow, which is a sharp weapon to pierce armor!

But Utur still did not relax. There are only a thousand crossbows in a wave, which can only block the enemy's footsteps, but cannot frighten them. The reason why the opponent has not attacked for a long time is that there is only one possibility——

They are preparing to fight back.

"Shield!"

Utur opened his voice and shouted, and at the same time as his voice fell, the rain of arrows, which was a hundred times thicker than before, appeared above the camp in the blink of an eye without a sound!

The herald remained calm in the face of danger and hurriedly raised the semaphore. The soldiers who had originally stood in a square formation immediately dispersed. The shield soldiers rushed forward, and the cavalry and infantry followed. The 3-man army was instantly divided into ten circular camps. In the very center.

Occasionally, someone was shot by the arrow during the change of camp, and the others immediately dragged him up and hid behind the shield soldiers.

The crossbow arrows were pierced on the shield, and the sound of clanging was endless, but in the blink of an eye, the arrows passing through had densely covered the front wooden shield.

Crackling, the shield broke, and the second row of shield soldiers immediately set up a new shield, pulling the comrades who had been shot into a hornet's nest back into the defensive circle.

Gaman soldiers were constantly shot by the pervasive crossbow arrows and died screaming. The archers on the city wall who tried to counterattack fell to the wall one by one. Before they could even see their opponents' faces, they died silently.

Everyone's face is full of disbelief: how is this possible?

Under Gaman's arrow rain attack, the soldiers of the Tundra Kingdom had no casualties.They were obviously not equipped with bows and crossbows, but they could shoot a hundred times more arrows than their own.

The doubts have not yet receded, the non-stop sound of metal clashing finally stopped, and as soon as the courageous soldier poked his head out, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart——

"enemy……"

"The enemy is 300 meters away from us, cavalry, charge with me!"

At the front of the array, the scarlet cloak disappeared in a flash, and the horse galloped, leaving only dust.

The heavy armored cavalry shouted in unison, followed the Duke and charged on horseback.

Naduo Castle was built on a slightly higher plain. With the help of the charge, the cavalry almost galloped to the enemy in the blink of an eye.

The horn whimpered, and the white bear man with four claws pawing the ground stood up, with two bear paws the size of a human head roaring towards him, and the cavalry in heavy armor was thrown off his horse like a butterfly, and his breastplate was torn in three places. The claw mark was stepped on by the back foot of the white bear, and he died on the spot.

In just a moment of stupefaction, the hundreds of cavalry at the front had already been turned into flesh, but this charge did slow down the speed of the white bear.Under Utur's command, the second wave of cavalrymen stood on horseback with spears in their hands, and threw their spears far away from the white bear more than ten meters away. When the white bear was busy avoiding the attack, the cavalry drew out their daggers, Cut off the seat straps on Ice Bear. (*)

Soldiers from the Tundra Kingdom rolled off the bear one by one, and the bear's claws and horseshoes were in a mess.

There were screams.

Utur pulled the rusty sword back from the enemy's corpse, and looked at the more and more remains of soldiers from the Tundra Kingdom on the ground.

The plan works.

He wiped the blood splattered on his face, and gave the order to charge for the third time.

A group of ten light cavalry in black armor rushed over shouting and killing. The first soldier used his flesh as a shield, and the four who followed quickly climbed onto the bear's back. Two cut the rope, and two Try to kill the white bear, and then several people ride the horse to kill the fallen enemies.

With one against two, Garman's soldiers are never defeated.

Utur clamped the horse's belly with his feet, leaned back, and his back was close to the horse's back, avoiding the attack of the white bear.The charge of the war horse continued unabated, leading him to continue to charge forward.

Just less than a hundred meters in front of him, there was an exceptionally tall bear, and the seat on the bear's back was also rarely decorated with gold silk, and beside that person, there were nine strong men surrounded.

Every time that man's lips move slightly, the enemy's formation will change accordingly. This man is undoubtedly the coach of the Tundra Kingdom.

When the formation changed again, Utur single-handedly approached the blind spot behind the coach's mount, stood on the horse's back, jumped up, and grabbed the rattan ride on the bear's back.

Utur swung the rusted sword, the scarlet blade drew an arc in the air, and cut off the leather ropes on both sides of the car without hesitation.

The unsuspecting people in the car fell down with a clatter.

In mid-air, Utur whistled, and Goldfein quickly approached the white bear like a black shadow. Utur turned lightly in mid-air, and at the moment when he was about to touch the ground, the tip of the rusted sword rested on the ground, and he bowed back with the sword body With a lot of strength, he turned over and flew up, landing on the horse's back.

The bear's paw roared towards him, Utur swung his sword and slashed vertically. As the giant beast roared, the huge bear's paw hit the ground, stirring up bloody soil.

"beep--"

The sharp whistle pierced the bloody air. After seeing the Duke chop the enemy coach off the bear's back, Gamman's general attack finally began.

(2) Remember the similar war scene in The Battle of the Five Armies in The Hobbit, or "My Fair Princess"?

I know you guys don’t want to watch the plot (don’t be sure about me) but imagine that Yulis, as the heir of Odong, failed to protect his own country, but Utur had such an opportunity to protect his love. From another perspective, this is also A fulfillment.
