Volume II: Academy Chapter 0192: The Fierce Battle
Throwing the corpse off the wall, Renard continued to deliver the exploding arrows, feeling that he was now very much like a delivery boy in the Middle East, and he almost shouted: The two armies will fight without killing the courier.
Thinking like this, two wolves suddenly jumped up next to him, Lei Ye flew up and put his feet on their faces, and then watched the two orcs and the two wolves fall off the city wall in free fall.
He glanced down, and the two wolf cavalrymen who were kicked down were fine, but the companions who were pressed under them were more in and less out of breath.
Packing up his mood, he continued to set off for the next target point.
The anomaly of this section of the wall immediately caught the attention of Count Eowyn, because it was too strange.
Approaching the 300-meter city wall, there were only a dozen people defending it, and what was even more incredible was that no enemy could gain a foothold on the city wall, he asked the family warrior who was supervising the battle next to him, "What's going on there?"
The family warrior looked at it and said, "It's the instructor of the Academy of Constantinople who is defending that section of the wall, and they are all martial artists. ”
The implication is: You see how good other people are martial artists!
Earl Iowen nodded, but still felt that something was wrong, he looked down for a moment, and said, "Send someone over to take a look, don't make any mistakes." ”
More than a dozen people defended the 300-meter city wall, no matter how strong their individual combat strength was, it still made people a little uneasy.
When the family warrior was ordered to leave, Earl Ai Owen's face couldn't help but show bitterness and sadness: "The Windsor family, which has been inherited for two hundred years, is actually over like this. ”
He had no hope of holding on to the land, and in fact, ensuring that most of his people were evacuated to safety in time was the only thing he could do now, but at the cost of thousands of young lives.
Count Al Owen had no choice, after all, the orcs would never sit idly by and watch them escape.
The fierce battle continued, and the wolf cavalry was not limited to attacking the western city wall, but the battle had begun to spread in other directions.
How difficult it was for thousands of people to defend the 20,000-meter city wall, a large number of orc wolf cavalry took this opportunity to climb up and began to slaughter the young men defending the city.
The battle instantly entered the white-hot phase.
The archers abandoned the use of bows and arrows and began to meet the enemy with swords and spears, and the young men naturally did not wait to be killed, and raised their spears to stab the climbing orcs off the wall.
Mercenaries and adventurers became the main force of the battle, they were experienced in combat and skilled in martial arts, and this group was assembled in the northern city wall, under the personal command of Count Iowen, and more than 300 people blocked more than 600 wolf cavalry below.
As for the southern and eastern walls, they were handed over to two of his cronies, each of whom led 200 private troops and some young men to hold on.
Because there were not many orcs attacking from these two directions, there was no decline in sight.
The most difficult western wall was completely handed over to Alice to command the defense, and Count Irwin transferred the most elite 400 private troops and 2,000 young men to him, and even arranged for the family warriors to help.
However, the west city wall is the location of the main attack of the orcs, and most of the more than 3,000 wolf cavalry are hovering under the city, even if the defenders have as many as 23400 people, they cannot defend all aspects of this city wall.
Especially with the increase in the casualties of the wolf cavalry, the corpses piled up on the ramp under the city, which made it more convenient for the wolf cavalry to charge, and they directly stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and jumped onto the city wall, slaughtering the peasants like chopping melons and vegetables.
Reynard saw it in his eyes, and his heart was very anxious, but he couldn't get out of it, because there was a slope of corpses in front of him.
If he leaves, it will become another slaughtering field.
Alice and the other mentors are also flawless, they run around the city walls, covered in blood, and burst out with the terrifying strength of high-level fighting warriors, and a single sword can directly cut the wolf and the orc knight in two.
Seeing this situation, the four family warriors of Count Ai Owen immediately separated the two of them to organize the young man who was in chaos: "Don't panic, don't panic, set up a spear formation, set a spear formation." ”
After paying the lives of more than a dozen elite soldiers, the two family warriors led the young men to force the wolf cavalry back to the city.
The battle lasted for nearly six hours, the twilight became thicker and thicker, the grassland in the distance was slowly surrounded by the red glow of the setting sun, and under the ruined lonely city, it was full of corpses, and the blood reflected in the setting sun, becoming brighter.
Gradually, the sun sets beneath the distant hills of the west, and the dark night envelops the wilderness.
Renard stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, the corpses of orcs and wolves lying on the grass, their chests or throats pierced by feathered arrows, the unfortunate ones who had been killed by arrows during the charge.
The further down the city became, the corpses became denser and even stacked on top of each other, the same guys who had been shot or stabbed down the walls during the attack.
The battle flag, which symbolized the soul of this wolf cavalry team, was planted on the corpse of an orc beneath the city, and the banner house was burned to ashes, but it was still steaming.
Renard was in a quiet daze, when two female doctors came over with grief on their faces and said sadly, "We have tried our best, but we still haven't been able to save everyone's lives." ”
They sobbed softly for a while, and then reported the casualty figures: "Of the 647 people, only 233 people will survive, and more than 200 of them will be disabled for life." ”
Of course, these words were not addressed to Renard, but to the warriors of Earl Iowen's family.
The total number of casualties was 647, which was the entire loss of the defenders of the western city wall, and the losses of the other city walls had not yet been transmitted, and it would probably not be less.
The four warriors closed their eyes in pain, they were all the people of the Windsor family.
After a long period of grief, a certain samurai suddenly clenched his fists and said in a cold voice: "They will not be the first to die, nor will they be the last, but they will at least die worthwhile." ”
The other samurai let out a soft sigh, and then said unreservedly to the people around them, "Everyone should be mentally prepared, at least this is the hardest battle we have faced since we were born, and we don't even see any hope of survival." ”
Hearing this, Alice took a deep breath, looked at the fire in the distance and said coldly: "Some things, even if the final outcome is not good, someone still has to do it, no matter what the result is, we should stick to the end." ”
With that, she walked down the wall with the other Mentors and Renard, and they were to rest well and prepare for the fiercer battle of tomorrow.
Escape? No, the wolf-seated of the orcs is always hovering around the town, and no one wants to leave.
