At five o'clock in the afternoon of June 9, an army of 30,000 led by Prince Nuliv arrived at the fortress of Koren at three o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Suddenly

The quiet night was broken, and countless torches illuminated the entire northern part of the Koren Fortress as bright as day.

In an instant, the shrill siren of the magic whistle sounded in the sky above the Koren Fortress,

In just five minutes, the dense flames on the walls of the fortress of Cologne, which had been pitch black, were raised, and a brigade of soldiers in neat gear ascended the city wall under the leadership of their respective commanders.

Seeing this, Prince Nulif said to the left and right: "It seems that they have been prepared. ”

"But we're better prepared!" Hermeel couldn't help but say.

The prince nodded, "Let the ministries prepare, and attack the city as soon as dawn." ”

A moment later, the herald carrying the banner of Prince Nuliv shuttled between the battalions,

For a while, the entire barbarian army began to get busy,

The armaments and supplies were unloaded and distributed to the battalions, and the craftsmen of the brigade drove to the nearby woods, and soon, the adult iron pines fell to the ground one by one, and were made into all kinds of siege equipment.

...

At 6 o'clock in the morning,

At dawn, the barbarian tribes that had completed the preparations for battle received an order from Prince Nulif: prepare to attack the city.

At half past six, the siege battle officially began,

First, a huge smoke-emitting boulder was thrown out by six freshly built catapults, piercing the sky with a 'whoosh' roar, and finally, smashing into the walls of the Koren Fortress with unmistakable accuracy.

"Boom, boom, boom!" In the huge roar, because of the lack of a city wall protected by a magician, it was suddenly smashed out of a deep pit,

"Kill!"

The loud sound of the rolling stones falling to the ground was like a signal, and in an instant, the 30,000 barbarian army was divided into three routes, one route was attacked from the front by 20,000 men under the personal command of Prince Nulif, and the other two routes were led by the chief of Hemai and the chief of Nairu to attack and contain from both sides.

For a moment, the roaring drums of war, the shouts of soldiers, the whirring of rolling stones, arrows, and javelins piercing the air resounded over the fortress of Koren.

At this moment, the whole earth trembled.

Half an hour later,

The barbarian troops broke through the perimeter defenses of the imperial army's walls, countless wooden ladders were erected on the moat, and countless soldiers, led by their trusted officers, began to storm the walls of the Koren fortress.

After a bloody battle all the way,

Small groups of barbarian soldiers climbed the walls of the fortress on the roads paved with the lives of countless companions, and soon, more barbarian soldiers climbed the walls one after another.

For a time, all kinds of materials such as spears, short axes, and steel swords on the city wall were intertwined, and the shouts of killing and screams overwhelmed the thundering war drums.

This is the most primitive fight,

The blood poured down like raindrops around the city walls,

In just ten minutes, the blood stains on the city wall that had been dry condensed again.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers realized that climbing the city wall is not the same as occupying the city wall.

Now, they're just climbing the walls!

In the distance, Prince Nuliv had a solemn expression, and after watching his troops' attack on the city wall frustrated, he immediately shouted to the herald: "Send two more totemic warriors of a hundred to support the battle at the North Gate, and within two hours, I will occupy there!"

The herald silently took the command flag and left with the king flag in his hand.

Almost as soon as the herald turned to leave, there was a sudden shrill sound at the north gate of the fortress, and a little spark-like light flashed above the heads of the warring parties, making people confused.

But in the next moment, a string of fierce flames seemed to appear out of thin air, spreading uncontrollably towards the walls on both sides of the city wall with the momentum of wildfire.

The barbarian soldiers who had just rushed to the city wall and the barbarian soldiers who were climbing the ladder below the city were suddenly covered in flames, and the miserable screams were like the cries of the devil in the legendary hell.

"They burned down their gates?" said the front-line commander, Patriarch Quimper, whose face was red from the flames, and the muscles on his face twitched as he screamed.

When his son Haqada heard this, he immediately explained: "The gates of the fortress of Coron were all made of stainless steel, and the construction was carried out by the goblin engineering team themselves, and this fire was useless to the gates. ”

"It's a luxury!"

"Father, the question we should consider at this time is what to do next, our clan's warriors have already lost half of them, and if we continue to attack like this, we will be doomed sooner or later!" Haqada reminded.

"Don't worry. Quimper looked left and right and whispered: "Now it's the turn of the Saigal clan warriors of His Royal Highness the Prince to fight, and in the past half a month, they have not lost a single soldier..."

Quimper was also worried about the loss of his clan at the moment, and his voice became lower and lower: "If you wait for the herald of His Royal Highness the Prince to come, you can take any order, but you should move slowly." ”

"But—" Haqada furrowed.

Quimper glanced at his son, "For the sake of the beast god, my dear child, let's not quarrel over this issue, okay?" Think about the mountain and lake sheep tribe some time ago, their warriors were wiped out in the Kanya Pass, and now, their patriarch even needs to personally charge the front line with a few warriors. ”

Haqada was stunned when he heard his father's words, pondered for a few seconds before turning away.

Ten minutes later,

Prince Nulif's herald sent an order: all the soldiers of the Hongji tribe advanced from the left flank of the north gate, in order to cooperate with the 10,000 elites of the Saigar tribe in the middle to capture the north gate.

Quimper took the flag and looked at the walls of the fortress of Cologne in the distance, where the fire was gradually extinguished.

But the stench of burnt corpses wafted in the air, particle-sized soot drifted in the air instead of snowflakes, countless charred corpses were being thrown off the city wall by the imperial soldiers, and the immortal did not escape the fate of death in the end, and were mercilessly mended.

On the city walls, Sir Ike looked at the regrouped barbarian forces under the city with his warhammer, and said to a young man dressed as a knight beside him, "From now on, the real battle will be. ”

"The Twaks are never afraid to fight. ”

"Haha, don't worry, don't be too nervous!" Sir Ike patted the young man on the shoulder, "Everything is going according to plan now, and soon, this place will be the grave of the barbarian army!"

...

At the Kanya Pass, Prince Nuliv learned the lesson of the previous days, leaving behind 8,000 troops when he led his troops south to attack the fortress of Koren, and strictly ordered them not to meet them, no matter how provocative the imperial army was.

In fact, Nulif's original plan was to feign an attack on the fortress of Koren, force Pedi's troops out of the walled city, and force them to fight a decisive battle in the plains and snow.

But in the end, after Kebot took out the camp on Mount Roput, the prince immediately changed his plan and chose to attack the fortress of Cologne directly.

Of course, the letter from the orcs also had a catalytic effect.

The main task of these 8,000 troops was to hold the passage of Pedi south to support the fortress of Koren, and it was also the retreat left by Prince Nuliv for himself.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two days for the Peidi department to break through the barbarian troops who were constantly guarding against sneak attacks in the camp, and moreover, the Peidi department itself would lose more than half of its troops.

But this is the case.

On the afternoon of the 9th,

Just when the offensive and defensive battle of the Koren Fortress was in full swing,

Bursts of shouts of killing suddenly erupted in the barbarian camp outside the Kanya Pass, and the piercing army alarm bell rang non-stop.

When the Imperial soldiers on the walled city looked into the camp, they were dumbfounded by what was happening in front of them.

It's actually barbarian soldiers 'killing each other' in their own camp!

After receiving the report from the soldiers at the observation post, Peidi was not too excited, but only breathed a sigh of relief, and then summoned all the officers above the rank of captain in the walled city, and issued an order: Prepare for battle!

Half an hour later, Pedi appeared in front of the troops who had already assembled him, dressed in armor and carrying his silver-white two-handed war hammer in his hand.

"Finally have a good fight!" Andy smiled,

Pei Di didn't smile, he looked at Andy seriously, "You led the vanguard to raid, remember, it's your own people with a thin white belt around your waist!"

"Understood!" Andy didn't ask why his own people had infiltrated the barbarian camp.

But the imperial elite of the staff group was very concerned, and at this time, they also understood that it was the two thousand imperial garrisons on the annihilated Roput Mountain that were reported in the military newspaper last night,

Today, they spent the whole day discussing what to do after losing the camp of Mount Roput, but they didn't expect that this army was not only not annihilated, but also mixed into the barbarian camp.

That's two thousand!

...

The chain reaction of 2,000 people in a team of only 8,000 people was beyond anyone's imagination, and in the end, the entire camp was fighting, and even bloody battles were taking place between different 100 teams within the same 1,000 people.

The barbarian general who stayed behind in the camp at Kanya Pass was the patriarch of the Bucklin tribe, Pelov, who had no idea what was happening in the camp now, he only remembered that at the beginning it was just two soldiers of different tribes fighting because of some of them.

He didn't care, after all, this kind of thing often happens in the Balu Kingdom,

But then, the brawl turned into a fight, and there were deaths.

Just as Pelov was about to let his subordinates suppress the brawl, his battalion was attacked by nearly two centurs, and in just five minutes, Pelov was hacked to death in his tent.

Within ten minutes of Pelov's hacking, the battle spread to the entire barbarian battalion.

When Andy arrived with the vanguard, it was a chaotic scene, and he couldn't see clearly that those people had white belts tied around their waists, so he didn't dare to charge at the first time.

In the end, Andy had no choice but to lead his troops to attack from the flank, move to the rear of the camp with the vanguard, cut off the rear of the entire army, and wait for them to finish fighting themselves before entering the camp field.

But soon, the barbarian soldiers in battle discovered the movements of the imperial army,

At this time, Pedi had arrived with 4,000 infantry and launched a strong attack from the main gate of the camp, and Andy was no longer just watching the show, and immediately led his troops to raid from the rear when Pedi stormed the main gate.

The battle lasted an hour,

The 6,000 remaining armies of the barbarians were all wiped out, and almost half of them died at the hands of their own people.

As for Peidi's department, its own loss is only five hundred.

After the battle, Pedi stepped on the blood-red earth, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and muttered: "The balance of victory has fallen in my favor, and then there is the main force of Nulif, and the man named Kebot." ”

Thinking of Kebot, Pedi immediately sent a message to Cowlier and ordered him: find Kebot and kill him!
