But they waited and waited until the moon was in the sky at midnight, but they still did not see the shadow of the Salem army. Finally, the scouts returned. The Salan army pushed forward and lit torches on the road. Looking from afar, it was like a fire dragon. After thirty miles out of the city, it suddenly changed its formation and went back! Philistine waited most of the night.
The general around him asked, "your honor, they suddenly retreat at night. Maybe they sent scouts to find that we have already lined up for waiting, and dare not to fight. Do you want to chase or not?"
The Philistine glared and said, "how to chase? Do you want me to set out in the middle of the night and chase for 50 Li? This distance just can't catch up. When we get to the bottom of the city, we have no rest for a day and a night! Return to the camp for rest, and send guards to guard at all times. "
……
In the subterranean Hall of the fortress, Raphael was still talking to link through the message in two magic circles. He only heard link smile: "the whole army of Philistines stood in the cold wind for most of the night, and finally couldn't bear to go to sleep. It's a little far away. It's not convenient for them to go back to enril. They should step back three miles and set up a camp. "
Raphael said with a wry smile: "this battle is very immoral. It is not a regular method of war. Who made the plan? It's not like Lord George. "
Link said with a smile: "I led my people to hunt those fierce herds in the mountains many years ago. That's what I did. I can't fight with those wild animals."
Yunmeng chuckled at Raphael's side and said, "I know it's your idea. Don't let people eat well or sleep well."
Link: no matter what, the fortress can keep it, otherwise everything will be empty talk. You have a good rest, and it will be handed over to me in the second half of the night. "
……
The Salem army seemed to have expected that the Philistines would attack the fortress first on the road, and that they could not attack it for a day. They left the city in the early morning and formed a formation to fight. Then they withdrew and went back to eat. At the end of the day, they marched out of the city in formation to reinforce the fortress at night. When they were halfway there, they returned to sleep, which made the Philistines suffer a lot.
The soldiers of the Legion of giants, who had been working hard for a whole day, finally rested. The Philistines sent out patrols to guard in turn. In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the fortress where link was in the distance was full of light. The magic battle array was opened without any reason. A huge light curtain came out, and a city gate was opened. General Hua Nani and a group of cavalry with distinctive armor rushed out.
Hundreds of soldiers appeared on the city walls, beating drums and bugles, and the sounds of killing were deafening. Out of the castle came a cavalry of 100 men, led by general Hua Nani, who was the bodyguard of Amun at that time. All of them were Armored Warriors. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were no less than giant soldiers. Although the number was not large, they were the elite of the Salem army.
The Legion of giants had been on guard for a long time, and the Philistines had ordered to keep an eye on the fortress. The guard giant soldiers quickly drew out their weapons and rushed forward to meet the battle. In a hurry, people were tumbling and torches were all over the ground. Of course, such a big movement startled the sleeping soldiers in the camp. They took up arms and put on armor and drilled out of the tent. The Philistines gathered a cavalry team and rushed over.
When huanani saw this, they startled the large group of men and horses. They pulled their horses and left and galloped toward the fortress. The giant soldiers in the rear chased outside the castle, and suddenly there were innumerable sharp lights in the air. It was the counterattack launched by the Shenshu array, which instantly put down dozens of enemies who had chased in front. The cavalry out of the city had fled into the fortress under the cover of the magic array.
Then the big array of light suddenly disappeared, the four fields is a dark. Link's tactics were not to rush to reinforce Rafael, but to keep the giants from sleeping well. However, it was also a great adventure to attack and harass the city, so he sent out elite cavalry. The scale of the war was not large. Suddenly, he charged and killed more than 20 enemies. Link also lost eight cavalry, and then he was silent.
The nose of philistine is almost crooked. He finally has a little understanding of the tactics of Salem. He uses the powerful divine array protection of these two fortresses to restrain and harass the giant legion, so that he can consume his combat effectiveness here. What is consumed is not only the materials for the siege, but also the physical strength and morale of the soldiers. Although the giant warrior is strong, but after all, it is not an iron fight. It needs to rest and inspire victory, and can not be constantly trapped and harassed.
The next morning, the generals of the Legion of giants were discussing the military situation in the big tent of the Philistines. Judging from yesterday's war, the opponent's playing method was very scoundrel, and they didn't want to fight a decisive battle. The main purpose was to hold on, contain, consume and harass. However, the aim of Philistines was to capture and conquer Salem. The cost of logistic supplies for the kingdom of Assyria to cross the plateau was too high. Once a large army was launched to fight, it was necessary to make a quick decision.
There were three choices for the Philistines -
the first was to continue to attack Raphael's fortress, advance step by step, win the first victory, erode the enemy's effective strength, and uproot the strategic stronghold of Salem. However, the guard force of the fortress was beyond the expectation of the giant Legion. One day's attack failed to win. Such a magic array was built in a small fortress. It was not only presided over by the great magician, but also called out terrible monsters. Even a girl who jumped out of the wall of the city was also a great warrior, which seemed unfathomable!
If too much combat power is consumed in attacking the fortress, it will not be able to continue to attack Salem city in a short period of time, or even give the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of it. At present, the most difficult thing to judge is how much more cost is needed to break that fortress?The second option is based on the assumption that the fortress is full of elite soldiers from Salem, and they happen to meet the strongest fortress. It may be much easier to attack another fortress. However, what happened in the second half of the night yesterday clearly proved that another fortress was also guarded by a magic array, and one of them was in charge of it. As for the strength of its guard force, it is impossible to make clear if it does not launch a fierce attack. Perhaps another fortress is better to attack. If it is successfully occupied, it can also reverse the strategic situation.
The third option is to attack Salem directly. If Salem put the best forces in two fortresses, the defense of the main city will be weak. Both Philistines and lucerne agreed that Salem could not have the same magic array as the two fortresses.
If a city-state like that wants to build a magic array of that scale, it needs a hundred years of operation and countless human, material and financial resources. In the war, only one kingdom can afford the cost of opening up the battle. If there are not enough great magicians and the ranks of deities to preside over the battle in turn, it will not work at all. Therefore, it may be easier to transfer the siege firepower under Salem city to capture a section of the city wall and rush into the city than to attack the two fortresses.
After a long morning's discussion, the generals finally decided to concentrate on attacking Raphael's fortress. The reason is very simple. They have already spent a lot of money. Maybe they can only break the magic array in the fortress. Giving up at this time is tantamount to giving up all the previous achievements. There was a prerequisite for continuing to attack the fortress. The fortress could not be reinforced, and the Philistine made a plan of operations immediately.
The Legion consists of cavalry, chariot soldiers, sword and shield soldiers equipped with shuttle guns, bowmen and stone throwers. The number of their cavalry is not large, because the giant warrior's physique is too big, the general horse is difficult to bear the giant warrior's long-distance gallop. Chariot soldiers were the main force of their formation and charge. Because enril lacked enough chariot horses, the number of chariots was limited.
The stone thrower is a long-range combat force, mainly used to attack the walls and fortresses, but also can bombard the military array. It is also one of the tactics to attack a city by setting up a high platform on the chariot to shoot arrows. As for the large number of sword and shield soldiers can be used in all kinds of combat occasions, giant soldiers can take up heavy shields and brandish long-range swords. At the same time, each of them is equipped with shuttle guns, which can be used for long-range throwing in combat.
The Philistines divided the Legion of giants into two parts. More than 1000 cavalry and saber shield soldiers formed two battle lines between the two fortresses. On the one hand, they prevented the fortress where link was located from being attacked. On the other hand, they mainly guarded against the counter attack in the direction of Salem. The remaining bowmen, chariot soldiers, stone throwers and hundreds of elite sword and shield soldiers were all concentrated outside the main fortress where Raphael was located, hoping to attack him in one fell swoop.
The next day, the battlefield was calm. He sent his soldiers to take turns on guard. Most of the others were resting in their places. They had been struggling for a day and a night. Many soldiers didn't even sleep well.
Just at the time when the generals held a meeting, the scouts returned and the Salem army went out of the city again. This time, it was much more dynamic than that of yesterday. It was marching forward outside the city. The drums were singing and the sound of killing was constant. It was just like who was fighting with. When the chariots were charging, they sent out thousands of arrows at once, and then they sent people to pick up the arrows that had been shot on the ground, and then they arrayed themselves again. The chariots in the rear rushed out again with swords and shields. It was a good example to take turns in this way.
The Philistine was stunned when he heard the news, and then he clapped at the table and said, "Damn it, it's such a time to practice the army! What did you do? Are we going to attack the city? "
Lu Si en frowned and said: "for the mob, the best rehearsal effect is at this time. Soldiers are pressing the border, and people are in danger. It is not like taking hard labor in the air at ordinary times. But the commander-in-chief is brave enough to fight us in a hurry? "
"They didn't plan to fight at all. As long as our army moved, they would certainly withdraw and return to the city. They wanted to fight the defensive battle relying on the strong city. Yesterday's march out of the city was a cover. If we want to disturb us, we can't rest. Today's rehearsal outside the city is to provoke me to give up the fortress and move forward. I can't be fooled! As long as they don't advance 30 miles from the city, we will ignore it. The whole army will rest today and continue to attack the fortress tomorrow. "
There was no war on that day, and the Legion of giants stood by and rested. As the Philistines did not expect, the Salem's army was rehearsing outside the city. Seeing that the Philistines were not deceived, they returned to the city at dusk and did not advance to reinforce the fortress.
In the subterranean Hall of the fortress, Raphael said to Yunmeng, "there is no movement in the giant army this day. It's like closing the fist before boxing, and the most violent attack will be launched tomorrow. This is the key battle. The casualties must be large. You need to take the warriors to the wall tomorrow. Be careful. "
Yunmeng looked a little nervous: "if you can't stand it, send a signal to link in advance. Link and George will attack from two directions to cover our breakthrough."
Rafael shook his head and said: "if that is the case, the whole battle plan will be destroyed. In any case, we will try our best to defend it tomorrow. I have a batch of magic stones here. You can give them to the magicians who help to defend the city. The array must be kept intact." He took out a big leather bag and opened it. It was full of ordinary stone.Yunmeng exclaimed: "you ambush very deep ah, unexpectedly hide so many God stone, even I don't know?"
Raphael said with a faint smile: "this is not the city of Salem. Have you forgotten my origin? I am also one of the heirs of the great aristocratic family in the kingdom of hathi. This is most of my property. Some of them were given to me by the teacher Ge lie, who said that the critical moment might be useful, and he really got it right. I have always kept it in the space ring, which is also given by the teacher. "
Yunmeng took the pidou and said, "I will make it clear that these are your personal wealth. When the war is won, Aesop will pay you back even his principal and interest! There is a spare stone, but can the magician who helps you to run the array be able to survive? "
Raphael said: "the war is the same cruel for both sides. The Philistines spend one day to rest the siegers, and the breathing time of this day is more important for our magicians. Take a good rest tonight and prepare for the fierce battle of life and death tomorrow."
Yunmeng looked at him, admiring him in his eyes. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "philistine has conquered the wrong fortress. He doesn't know you are here. People only know that Amun is invincible, but they forget that gale, the great magician in the kingdom of hathi, is as good as God in war. He is just not as lucky as Amun. You are the most proud disciple of Ge lie. You have participated in many wars with your teacher. Now you are the high priest of the city of Syria. It's really very humble for you to keep a fortress. With your talent, you can be the commander-in-chief of a large army! "
Raphael shook his head: "don't praise me like that. I'm far from the teacher. The teacher sent me here to accept the experience. Since it's experience, we have to face the test of difficulty and danger. It was I who asked to guard this fortress on my own initiative. "
……
On the third day, the most tragic battle on the Duke plain finally broke out. The Philistines had gathered all the bowmen and catapults, and had transported the city-state firestones and a large number of arrows from the city-state. This tough offensive and defensive battle is to test the will of both sides. The giant army began to attack with flint in the morning, consuming the defense strength of the fortress magic array.
Raphael did not run the battle line to resist, but put out the fire on the stone ball. Countless huge stone balls had crossed the wall and smashed into the fortress. He tried his best to protect the weak part of the wall from collapse by flint. Under the roaring flint flying all over the sky, lucerne commanded the theocrats to set up the array, covering the sword shield soldiers driving the long ladder to attack the city. The colossal crossbows also stood on the high platform, pushed forward by chariots, and the arrows in the air were like rain, shooting at the guards on the wall of the city.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the magic array of guarding the city was still intact, but its strength began to weaken, because the magicians who helped Raphael run the array were tired after repeated rotations. In the afternoon, giant swords and shield soldiers finally rushed to the city wall. Jufei, the former commander of the giant legion, was the first to bear the brunt.
In the fortress, there are six Amun's personal guards. Now they are the generals of Salem city. Yunmeng leads the six generals and all the reserve forces in the city to fight fiercely. Raphael can only launch a large array to prevent more reinforcements from rushing to the city, while Lucerne, led by the magistrates of the Legion of giants, also set up an array to attack the magic array and break through the siege gap.
Yunmeng in the city wall into the original shape of the armored beast, the whole body of hard scales, arrows difficult to enter, sharp claws and long tail swept through irresistible. Jufei fought hard to resist Yunmeng. A scuffle broke out on the city wall, and the fierce battle lasted until dusk.
Because the city was attacked at the torn gap of the protective magic array, it was impossible to deploy too many troops. The Philistines concentrated all the bowmen and crossbows to cover the city. The swordsmen and shield soldiers attacked in turn. On a section of the city wall hundreds of feet, they paid the cost of more than 200 casualties. As for the soldiers guarding the city, more than 200 people were killed, and the rest were wounded, either light or heavy. The catapult of the giant army almost used up all the flint stored in the camp, including the one just delivered from enril yesterday, and the arrow of the giant Bowman was also very few. At the end of the battle, the catapult had become a hand to hand battle between the God's shield and the swordsman.
Why should Philistines pay so much? Because by then, he was no longer able to ride the tiger. There was always an idea in his mind that the fortress would soon be taken after he had reached this level. As long as another wave of attack was like the last straw that killed the camel, the camel could not be killed.
He thought that all the time in the morning, and still at noon. As a result, there was no flint or heavy crossbow arrow available until dusk. Within the walls of the fortress, all the weak buildings were smashed down, but the walls were still there. The Philistines also saw their own disadvantages. If they could not break through the magic array and open a gap in the city wall, the cost of sword shield soldiers driving long ladders to fight against the city was very high.
He tried to reverse this disadvantage, but he failed. In the end, the strength of the fortress Shenshu array had been reduced to the weakest. It only integrated the front defense of the wall to protect the wall. The offensive and defensive battle ended with Jufei swept down the city by Yunmeng, and all the giant soldiers who rushed to the city wall were seriously injured and died.
The giant army's plan to capture the fortress failed, and the armored beast transformed into Yunmeng was also scarred. At the last moment of the fierce battle, four more armored beasts went up to the wall to help Yunmeng fight together, so as to stabilize the situation.**(to be continued.

……
On the third day, the most tragic battle on the Duke plain finally broke out. The Philistines had gathered all the bowmen and catapults, and had transported the city-state firestones and a large number of arrows from the city-state. This tough offensive and defensive battle is to test the will of both sides. The giant army began to attack with flint in the morning, consuming the defense strength of the fortress magic array.
Raphael did not run the battle line to resist, but put out the fire on the stone ball. Countless huge stone balls had crossed the wall and smashed into the fortress. He tried his best to protect the weak part of the wall from collapse by flint. Under the roaring flint flying all over the sky, lucerne commanded the theocrats to set up the array, covering the sword shield soldiers driving the long ladder to attack the city. The colossal crossbows also stood on the high platform, pushed forward by chariots, and the arrows in the air were like rain, shooting at the guards on the wall of the city.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the magic array of guarding the city was still intact, but its strength began to weaken, because the magicians who helped Raphael run the array were tired after repeated rotations. In the afternoon, giant swords and shield soldiers finally rushed to the city wall. Jufei, the former commander of the giant legion, was the first to bear the brunt.
In the fortress, there are six Amun's personal guards. Now they are the generals of Salem city. Yunmeng leads the six generals and all the reserve forces in the city to fight fiercely. Raphael can only launch a large array to prevent more reinforcements from rushing to the city, while Lucerne, led by the magistrates of the Legion of giants, also set up an array to attack the magic array and break through the siege gap.
Yunmeng in the city wall into the original shape of the armored beast, the whole body of hard scales, arrows difficult to enter, sharp claws and long tail swept through irresistible. Jufei fought hard to resist Yunmeng. A scuffle broke out on the city wall, and the fierce battle lasted until dusk.
Because the city was attacked at the torn gap of the protective magic array, it was impossible to deploy too many troops. The Philistines concentrated all the bowmen and crossbows to cover the city. The swordsmen and shield soldiers attacked in turn. On a section of the city wall hundreds of feet, they paid the cost of more than 200 casualties. As for the soldiers guarding the city, more than 200 people were killed, and the rest were wounded, either light or heavy. The catapult of the giant army almost used up all the flint stored in the camp, including the one just delivered from enril yesterday, and the arrow of the giant Bowman was also very few. At the end of the battle, the catapult had become a hand to hand battle between the God's shield and the swordsman.
Why should Philistines pay so much? Because by then, he was no longer able to ride the tiger. There was always an idea in his mind that the fortress would soon be taken after he had reached this level. As long as another wave of attack was like the last straw that killed the camel, the camel could not be killed.
He thought that all the time in the morning, and still at noon. As a result, there was no flint or heavy crossbow arrow available until dusk. Within the walls of the fortress, all the weak buildings were smashed down, but the walls were still there. The Philistines also saw their own disadvantages. If they could not break through the magic array and open a gap in the city wall, the cost of sword shield soldiers driving long ladders to fight against the city was very high.
He tried to reverse this disadvantage, but he failed. In the end, the strength of the fortress Shenshu array had been reduced to the weakest. It only integrated the front defense of the wall to protect the wall. The offensive and defensive battle ended with Jufei swept down the city by Yunmeng, and all the giant soldiers who rushed to the city wall were seriously injured and died.
The giant army's plan to capture the fortress failed, and the armored beast transformed into Yunmeng was also scarred. At the last moment of the fierce battle, four more armored beasts went up to the wall to help Yunmeng fight together, so as to stabilize the situation.**(to be continued.

But they waited and waited until the moon was in the sky at midnight, but they still did not see the shadow of the Salem army. Finally, the scouts returned. The Salan army pushed forward and lit torches on the road. Looking from afar, it was like a fire dragon. After thirty miles out of the city, it suddenly changed its formation and went back! Philistine waited most of the night. The general around him asked, "your honor, they suddenly retreat at night. Maybe they sent scouts to find that we have already lined up for waiting, and dare not to fight. Do you want to chase or not?" The Philistine glared and said, "how to chase? Do you want me to set out in the middle of the night and chase for 50 Li? This distance just can't catch up. When we get to the bottom of the city, we have no rest for a day and a night! Return to the camp for rest, and send guards to guard at all times. " In the subterranean Hall of the fortress, Raphael was still talking to link through the message in two magic circles. He only heard link smile: "the whole army of Philistines stood in the cold wind for most of the night, and finally couldn't bear to go to sleep. It's a little far away. It's not convenient for them to go back to enril. They should step back three miles and set up a camp. " Raphael said with a wry smile: "this battle is very immoral. It is not a regular method of war. Who made the plan? It's not like Lord George. " Link said with a smile: "I led my people to hunt those fierce herds in the mountains many years ago. That's what I did. I can't fight with those wild animals." Yunmeng chuckled at Raphael's side and said, "I know it's your idea. Don't let people eat well or sleep well." Link: no matter what, the fortress can keep it, otherwise everything will be empty talk. You have a good rest, and it will be handed over to me in the second half of the night. " The Salem army seemed to have expected that the Philistines would attack the fortress first on the road, and that they could not attack it for a day. They left the city in the early morning and formed a formation to fight. Then they withdrew and went back to eat. At the end of the day, they marched out of the city in formation to reinforce the fortress at night. When they were halfway there, they returned to sleep, which made the Philistines suffer a lot. The soldiers of the Legion of giants, who had been working hard for a whole day, finally rested. The Philistines sent out patrols to guard in turn. In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the fortress where link was in the distance was full of light. The magic battle array was opened without any reason. A huge light curtain came out, and a city gate was opened. General Hua Nani and a group of cavalry with distinctive armor rushed out. Hundreds of soldiers appeared on the city walls, beating drums and bugles, and the sounds of killing were deafening. Out of the castle came a cavalry of 100 men, led by general Hua Nani, who was the bodyguard of Amun at that time. All of them were Armored Warriors. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were no less than giant soldiers. Although the number was not large, they were the elite of the Salem army. The Legion of giants had been on guard for a long time, and the Philistines had ordered to keep an eye on the fortress. The guard giant soldiers quickly drew out their weapons and rushed forward to meet the battle. In a hurry, people were tumbling and torches were all over the ground. Of course, such a big movement startled the sleeping soldiers in the camp. They took up arms and put on armor and drilled out of the tent. The Philistines gathered a cavalry team and rushed over. When huanani saw this, they startled the large group of men and horses. They pulled their horses and left and galloped toward the fortress. The giant soldiers in the rear chased outside the castle, and suddenly there were innumerable sharp lights in the air. It was the counterattack launched by the Shenshu array, which instantly put down dozens of enemies who had chased in front. The cavalry out of the city had fled into the fortress under the cover of the magic array. Then the big array of light suddenly disappeared, the four fields is a dark. Link's tactics were not to rush to reinforce Rafael, but to keep the giants from sleeping well. However, it was also a great adventure to attack and harass the city, so he sent out elite cavalry. The scale of the war was not large. Suddenly, he charged and killed more than 20 enemies. Link also lost eight cavalry, and then he was silent. The nose of philistine is almost crooked. He finally has a little understanding of the tactics of Salem. He uses the powerful divine array protection of these two fortresses to restrain and harass the giant legion, so that he can consume his combat effectiveness here. What is consumed is not only the materials for the siege, but also the physical strength and morale of the soldiers. Although the giant warrior is strong, but after all, it is not an iron fight. It needs to rest and inspire victory, and can not be constantly trapped and harassed. The next morning, the generals of the Legion of giants were discussing the military situation in the big tent of the Philistines. Judging from yesterday's war, the opponent's playing method was very scoundrel, and they didn't want to fight a decisive battle. The main purpose was to hold on, contain, consume and harass. However, the aim of Philistines was to capture and conquer Salem. The cost of logistic supplies for the kingdom of Assyria to cross the plateau was too high. Once a large army was launched to fight, it was necessary to make a quick decision. There were three choices for the Philistines - the first was to continue to attack Raphael's fortress, advance step by step, win the first victory, erode the enemy's effective strength, and uproot the strategic stronghold of Salem. However, the guard force of the fortress was beyond the expectation of the giant Legion. One day's attack failed to win. Such a magic array was built in a small fortress. It was not only presided over by the great magician, but also called out terrible monsters. Even a girl who jumped out of the wall of the city was also a great warrior, which seemed unfathomable! If too much combat power is consumed in attacking the fortress, it will not be able to continue to attack Salem city in a short period of time, or even give the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of it. At present, the most difficult thing to judge is how much more cost is needed to break that fortress?The second option is based on the assumption that the fortress is full of elite soldiers from Salem, and they happen to meet the strongest fortress. It may be much easier to attack another fortress. However, what happened in the second half of the night yesterday clearly proved that another fortress was also guarded by a magic array, and one of them was in charge of it. As for the strength of its guard force, it is impossible to make clear if it does not launch a fierce attack. Perhaps another fortress is better to attack. If it is successfully occupied, it can also reverse the strategic situation. The third option is to attack Salem directly. If Salem put the best forces in two fortresses, the defense of the main city will be weak. Both Philistines and lucerne agreed that Salem could not have the same magic array as the two fortresses. If a city-state like that wants to build a magic array of that scale, it needs a hundred years of operation and countless human, material and financial resources. In the war, only one kingdom can afford the cost of opening up the battle. If there are not enough great magicians and the ranks of deities to preside over the battle in turn, it will not work at all. Therefore, it may be easier to transfer the siege firepower under Salem city to capture a section of the city wall and rush into the city than to attack the two fortresses. After a long morning's discussion, the generals finally decided to concentrate on attacking Raphael's fortress. The reason is very simple. They have already spent a lot of money. Maybe they can only break the magic array in the fortress. Giving up at this time is tantamount to giving up all the previous achievements. There was a prerequisite for continuing to attack the fortress. The fortress could not be reinforced, and the Philistine made a plan of operations immediately. The Legion consists of cavalry, chariot soldiers, sword and shield soldiers equipped with shuttle guns, bowmen and stone throwers. The number of their cavalry is not large, because the giant warrior's physique is too big, the general horse is difficult to bear the giant warrior's long-distance gallop. Chariot soldiers were the main force of their formation and charge. Because enril lacked enough chariot horses, the number of chariots was limited. The stone thrower is a long-range combat force, mainly used to attack the walls and fortresses, but also can bombard the military array. It is also one of the tactics to attack a city by setting up a high platform on the chariot to shoot arrows. As for the large number of sword and shield soldiers can be used in all kinds of combat occasions, giant soldiers can take up heavy shields and brandish long-range swords. At the same time, each of them is equipped with shuttle guns, which can be used for long-range throwing in combat. The Philistines divided the Legion of giants into two parts. More than 1000 cavalry and saber shield soldiers formed two battle lines between the two fortresses. On the one hand, they prevented the fortress where link was located from being attacked. On the other hand, they mainly guarded against the counter attack in the direction of Salem. The remaining bowmen, chariot soldiers, stone throwers and hundreds of elite sword and shield soldiers were all concentrated outside the main fortress where Raphael was located, hoping to attack him in one fell swoop. The next day, the battlefield was calm. He sent his soldiers to take turns on guard. Most of the others were resting in their places. They had been struggling for a day and a night. Many soldiers didn't even sleep well. Just at the time when the generals held a meeting, the scouts returned and the Salem army went out of the city again. This time, it was much more dynamic than that of yesterday. It was marching forward outside the city. The drums were singing and the sound of killing was constant. It was just like who was fighting with. When the chariots were charging, they sent out thousands of arrows at once, and then they sent people to pick up the arrows that had been shot on the ground, and then they arrayed themselves again. The chariots in the rear rushed out again with swords and shields. It was a good example to take turns in this way. The Philistine was stunned when he heard the news, and then he clapped at the table and said, "Damn it, it's such a time to practice the army! What did you do? Are we going to attack the city? " Lu Si en frowned and said: "for the mob, the best rehearsal effect is at this time. Soldiers are pressing the border, and people are in danger. It is not like taking hard labor in the air at ordinary times. But the commander-in-chief is brave enough to fight us in a hurry? " "They didn't plan to fight at all. As long as our army moved, they would certainly withdraw and return to the city. They wanted to fight the defensive battle relying on the strong city. Yesterday's march out of the city was a cover. If we want to disturb us, we can't rest. Today's rehearsal outside the city is to provoke me to give up the fortress and move forward. I can't be fooled! As long as they don't advance 30 miles from the city, we will ignore it. The whole army will rest today and continue to attack the fortress tomorrow. " There was no war on that day, and the Legion of giants stood by and rested. As the Philistines did not expect, the Salem's army was rehearsing outside the city. Seeing that the Philistines were not deceived, they returned to the city at dusk and did not advance to reinforce the fortress. In the subterranean Hall of the fortress, Raphael said to Yunmeng, "there is no movement in the giant army this day. It's like closing the fist before boxing, and the most violent attack will be launched tomorrow. This is the key battle. The casualties must be large. You need to take the warriors to the wall tomorrow. Be careful. " Yunmeng looked a little nervous: "if you can't stand it, send a signal to link in advance. Link and George will attack from two directions to cover our breakthrough." Rafael shook his head and said: "if that is the case, the whole battle plan will be destroyed. In any case, we will try our best to defend it tomorrow. I have a batch of magic stones here. You can give them to the magicians who help to defend the city. The array must be kept intact." He took out a big leather bag and opened it. It was full of ordinary stone.Yunmeng exclaimed: "you ambush very deep ah, unexpectedly hide so many God stone, even I don't know?" Raphael said with a faint smile: "this is not the city of Salem. Have you forgotten my origin? I am also one of the heirs of the great aristocratic family in the kingdom of hathi. This is most of my property. Some of them were given to me by the teacher Ge lie, who said that the critical moment might be useful, and he really got it right. I have always kept it in the space ring, which is also given by the teacher. " Yunmeng took the pidou and said, "I will make it clear that these are your personal wealth. When the war is won, Aesop will pay you back even his principal and interest! There is a spare stone, but can the magician who helps you to run the array be able to survive? " Raphael said: "the war is the same cruel for both sides. The Philistines spend one day to rest the siegers, and the breathing time of this day is more important for our magicians. Take a good rest tonight and prepare for the fierce battle of life and death tomorrow." Yunmeng looked at him, admiring him in his eyes. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "philistine has conquered the wrong fortress. He doesn't know you are here. People only know that Amun is invincible, but they forget that gale, the great magician in the kingdom of hathi, is as good as God in war. He is just not as lucky as Amun. You are the most proud disciple of Ge lie. You have participated in many wars with your teacher. Now you are the high priest of the city of Syria. It's really very humble for you to keep a fortress. With your talent, you can be the commander-in-chief of a large army! " Raphael shook his head: "don't praise me like that. I'm far from the teacher. The teacher sent me here to accept the experience. Since it's experience, we have to face the test of difficulty and danger. It was I who asked to guard this fortress on my own initiative. " On the third day, the most tragic battle on the Duke plain finally broke out. The Philistines had gathered all the bowmen and catapults, and had transported the city-state firestones and a large number of arrows from the city-state. This tough offensive and defensive battle is to test the will of both sides. The giant army began to attack with flint in the morning, consuming the defense strength of the fortress magic array. Raphael did not run the battle line to resist, but put out the fire on the stone ball. Countless huge stone balls had crossed the wall and smashed into the fortress. He tried his best to protect the weak part of the wall from collapse by flint. Under the roaring flint flying all over the sky, lucerne commanded the theocrats to set up the array, covering the sword shield soldiers driving the long ladder to attack the city. The colossal crossbows also stood on the high platform, pushed forward by chariots, and the arrows in the air were like rain, shooting at the guards on the wall of the city. After half a day of fierce fighting, the magic array of guarding the city was still intact, but its strength began to weaken, because the magicians who helped Raphael run the array were tired after repeated rotations. In the afternoon, giant swords and shield soldiers finally rushed to the city wall. Jufei, the former commander of the giant legion, was the first to bear the brunt. In the fortress, there are six Amun's personal guards. Now they are the generals of Salem city. Yunmeng leads the six generals and all the reserve forces in the city to fight fiercely. Raphael can only launch a large array to prevent more reinforcements from rushing to the city, while Lucerne, led by the magistrates of the Legion of giants, also set up an array to attack the magic array and break through the siege gap. Yunmeng in the city wall into the original shape of the armored beast, the whole body of hard scales, arrows difficult to enter, sharp claws and long tail swept through irresistible. Jufei fought hard to resist Yunmeng. A scuffle broke out on the city wall, and the fierce battle lasted until dusk. Because the city was attacked at the torn gap of the protective magic array, it was impossible to deploy too many troops. The Philistines concentrated all the bowmen and crossbows to cover the city.
