Chapter 221 Hailan Collection

Extreme Arctic Icefield.

The raging wind and snow have calmed down a lot, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky have turned into fine frost grains.

Leon squeezed his lips, and a few pieces of snow on his lips turned into cold drops of water, moistening his dry lips, and his dark eyes looking into the distance became more and more unpredictable.

Around him, dozens of guards stood silently with weapons in their hands. A thick layer of snow fell on them, but they did not reach out to brush away. They looked like snowmen from a distance.

The sad screams from not far away became weak, and a fierce leopard scout hurried over and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, the confession has been forced out!"

The scouts of the Thunder Beast Brigade annihireled a barbarian team on the snowfield and captured a barbarian warrior. Leon ordered him to be tortured to extract confessions to obtain enemy intelligence.

Thunder beast scouts are the elite trained and cultivated by Leon himself. Torture is one of the basic skills, and it is difficult for iron men to withstand their methods of coercion.

However, this barbarian has a lot of backbone. He never opens his mouth under severe punishment. With the help of the power of the accompanying shaman, he used special spells when he was most weak to set up the required information.

This barbarian scout team comes from Valen City. Their task is to patrol and guard the supply transport team in the rear to ensure the safety of the supply line and prevent the possible infiltration of the Bemon army.

But this does not mean that the enemy in Wallen City was aware of the arrival of the Third Regiment. In fact, they did not believe that the Bemon army dared to launch a counterattack in the ice and snow, so there were only a few similar cruise teams.

It is certain that Hailanji has become a supply transit point for the barbarian army as Leon expected, but it is not clear how many people are there now.

"Let's go! Go at full speed, I'm going to take down the Hailanji before the day falls!" After listening to the scout's report, Leon immediately gave the order.

The thunder beast warriors hurriedly swallowed the dry food in their mouths, grabbed a handful of snow or stuffed it into their mouths or wiped their faces, quickly jumped up from the snow, and lined up again to continue to move forward.

This time, they have greatly accelerated their pace.

After nearly an hour of rapid march, large undulating snow mounds appeared on the snowfield in the distance. The guide of the army pointed to the front and shouted to Leon, "Your Excellency, that's Hailanji!"

The direction he refers to is the position between the two snow mounds, and you can faintly see the town like ruins, mostly building houses buried with snow.

And the evidence that there are people there is that several columns of smoke rushed straight into the sky from the town.

Finally arrived! Leon was refreshed.

"Rose, I take the main force to attack from the front, and you take the scout team to surround their back from the flank and intercept all the deserters!"

Hailanji is not a fortress city. There are no strong and tall walls. In addition, the environment on the snowfield is open and accessible. The enemy has no danger to defend but can escape everywhere.

So it is not difficult for Leon to attack. The difficult thing is to annipe the enemy completely, which is conducive to the next step.

Rose nodded and immediately took the scout team out of the main team and turned to the northwest to carry out the interception task.

When he arrived here, Leon did not intend to hide the deeds of the brigade. In fact, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

The Thunder Beast Brigade rushed towards Hailan like a tiger!

Wow! ~ A rapid horn suddenly sounded in the Hailan market not far away, and the enemy obviously found the danger coming.

Hundreds of barbarian soldiers rushed out of the town and shouted to the thunder beast brigade, including hundreds of snow camels.

Good job! Leon was also worried that the enemy would stay in the ruins. Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to run out of it to fight with the Thunder Beast Brigade, which was in his heart.

"Prepare to fight!"

Leon Huoran pulled out Lei Yan's sword and shouted angrily.

The loud war song then sounded, and circle after circle of golden aura bloomed in the team, affecting every thunder beast warrior.

War inspires the aura! The shamans with the army added magic to the soldiers in time.

The thunder beast warriors were refreshed, and the power of the magic helped them dispel the cold, making their cavity of beast blood boil. The strength and fighting spirit in the body rose to the peak in an instant, and the pace of the charge became more and more steady and powerful.

The enemy's snow camel cavalry first approached the Thunder Beast Brigade and dispersed to the left and right direction. They found that the Thunder Beast Brigade did not have many cavalry, so they tried to attack the Thunder Beast Brigade from both wings.

Once there is chaos in the Thunder Beast Brigade, the cavalry can rush in directly to kill, which is the natural advantage of the cavalry.

The tactics of the barbarian cavalry are undoubtedly correct, but they don't know the strength of the Thunder Beast Brigade.

"Stop to move forward, line up for the defense formation, and the archers are ready!"

With Leon's order, the Thunder Beast Brigade immediately stopped moving forward and re-arranged. The soldiers with big shields protected the front wings and protected the archers and shamans in the middle.

The thunder beast brigade moved extremely fast. When the enemy's horse was approaching a distance of three or four hundred steps, the archers in the team had already picked up their long bows, and arrows flashing cold and cold arrows pointed to the enemy.

"Shoot!"

Oh! Huh! Huh!

Hundreds of feather arrows suddenly flew under the strong guidance of the bow strings, tearing the air and making a shuddering roar and falling towards the barbarian cavalry!

The barbarian cavalry originally planned to use their own bows and arrows to disturb the thunder beast brigade with their own bows and arrows. There was no chance of winning against the thousand-person brigade, but this kind of riding and shooting guerrilla tactic was their specialty.

But now the play is completely smashed, because the special long bow used by the thunder beast archers is completely more powerful than the standard bow of the Bimon army.

In terms of investment in long-range strike force, Leon has always spared no effort. The long bows of the thunder beast archers are all from the excellent craftsmen of the human race. They use the best materials to improve them. Even the feather arrows as consumables are much more expensive than ordinary arrows.

It can be said that the wave of thunder beast archers shot was a shining gold coin!

The power of money is huge! At an unexpected distance of the enemy, the strength of the thunder beast archer was undoubtedly revealed. The arrows were as fast and sharp as rain, and the unexpected barbarian cavalry even had no time to lift the round shield to block.

Poo! Puff! huh!

The sound of three-edging armor-breaking arrows penetrating the leather armor one after another. The sharp metal arrows easily break through the barbarian's tough muscles like a hot knife cutting butter, cutting the blood vessels and breaking through the bones, and penetrating into their internal organs!

Dozens of barbarian cavalry and ** beasts became hedgehogs in an instant. They screamed and fell on the snow, and the red blood stained the white snow.

It was just the first wave of arrow rain interception, and the barbarians lost more than one-third of their cavalry, which shocked the cavalry behind.

But the thunder beast archers will not be soft-hearted because of their shock. They will replace them with the second arrow, and another wave of arrows will shoot over.

At this time, he realized that the barbarians who kicked on the iron plate were like ants in the explosion nests, and turned around to try to escape from the death zone.

But their behavior accelerated their death, because the arrows shot from behind ruthlessly pierced their backs!

In the blink of an eye, the barbarian cavalry lost 70% or 80% of their strength, and only 20 or 30 cavalry successfully escaped.

The thunder beast archer gave these barbarians a lesson called long-range firepower cover strike with bloody display!

Wow! Whoo! ~ The horn sounded again in the Hailanji, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers from the front to the Thunder Beast Brigade immediately turned around and retreated.

The leader of the enemy obviously realized that such a frontal attack charge was equivalent to death, and immediately gave up the idea of fighting with the thunder beast brigade on the snowfield.

"Rion!"

Leon pointed in front of the knife, clamped his legs hard, and the ** snow camel hissed and rushed forward with four hooves.

Rock Hammer and other warriors led the warriors to follow. The usual strict training played the greatest role at this time. Even the newly joined soldiers could quickly complete the formation change, from defense to attack.

In the face of the charge of the Thunder Beast Brigade, the barbarians retreated in a hurry. They retreated to the edge of the ruins before they stopped the reorganization array, but did not retreat into the Hailan collection.

Such a scene fell into Leon's eyes, which made him slightly stunned.

In Leon's view, the barbarians do not have the capital to fight with the Thunder Beast Brigade. Their only choice is to retreat to the ruins and fight in the street with the individual advantages of barbarian warriors and the advantages of the terrain.

Leon was even mentally prepared for a street battle, but the enemy's movements were unexpected.

These barbarian warriors stand outside the ruins and line up. They don't want to be the live targets of thunder beast archers, do they?

Because there were doubts, Leon pulled the reins hard, and the snow camel's charging speed immediately slowed down.

He suddenly raised his left arm and motioned the soldiers behind him to move forward slowly.

Although this may affect the momentum of the thunder beast warriors, Leon never despises any opponent on the battlefield. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Who knows what kind of card the enemy has, and any caution is necessary.

It turns out that Leon's caution is not wrong.

Boom!

When the Thunder Beast Brigade was only four or five hundred steps away from Hailan, the mutant suddenly occurred.

The earth trembled violently, and a silver-white behemoth slowly rose behind the barbarian queue, that is, in the ruins of the Hailan collection.

First, the head was followed by a huge body and thick limbs... When Leon saw the true face of the other party, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air!

He finally knew what the enemy's card was - Frost Giant, the unique war puppet of the barbarians!
