After settling the troubles in the rear, the Witch Maiden resumed the siege. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They sent hundreds of men to attack my back road, and there probably won't be many people in the castle to defend it.

The commander of the witch looked at the witch with a torch in one hand and a ladder to the city wall in the other, and the corners of her mouth under the mask curled up triumphantly. Before the ladder was sent to the front, the witch's longbowmen stepped forward and engaged the castle's defenders.

The two sides exchanged several rounds of arrows, and due to the poor lighting, the losses of both armies were not much, compared to the losses of the witch maiden without cover. After that, the ladder came into range of the defenders, and the defenders aimed at the long string of torches and fired arrows, causing great damage to the evil witch who carried the ladder.

While attacking the northern wall, the witches are also attacking the gates. Nami Castle has never been attacked, and the fortifications here are very rudimentary, there are no cauldrons on the towers to boil water or asphalt, and there are no stones and heavy logs, so soldiers can only attack the enemy at the top of the towers or through firing holes.

This type of attack has a limited range of fire, and once the enemy is under the city gate, the soldiers on the tower must stick out and shoot down. This stance is very dangerous in combat, as it can be easily targeted by enemies or hit by stray arrows. As a result, the defenders of the city gate soon lost more than thirty crossbowmen, and the remaining soldiers did not dare to show their heads to shoot the enemy who raised the siege rams, so they could only let the enemy ram the city gate again and again.

"Keep it up! The gates are about to be breached! Just fight into the castle! Everything inside is ours! ”

With the encouragement of the leader of the team, the evil witches who were in charge of operating the battering rams immediately became excited and slammed the city gate even harder. Just then, the commander of the witch suddenly received news that a troop of cavalry had come out of the east gate of the castle.

How come they still have cavalry?

The commander of the Witch Maiden was a little panicked, in fact, she was not aware of the troop reserves in the Twenty-Nine Village, and she had only wishful thinking that Nami Castle had run out of troops, and there was no evidence.

"How many cavalry?" The chief shrine maiden asked.

"I don't know, maybe a few hundred, right?" The witch who came to tell the news replied.

Two hundred is a few hundred, and eight hundred is a few hundred, but the difference in strength between the two is a full four times, and such an answer will only make the Witch Commander's current situation even more confusing.

"How many people are there?!"

"Uh...... Maybe three or four hundred? ”

This time, the evil witch who came to report the news gave a more accurate value, but this value was guessed by her randomly. She only saw a large group of cavalry coming out of the east gate, and she didn't know how many people there were in the dark. She saw that the other party was all cavalry, and she was afraid that she would be caught if she ran late, so she could only come back and report first.

"Three or four hundred?!"

Before the witch commander's commander could be frightened by the number, the north gate creaked open. The witch who had slammed the gate heard the door open and thought the defenders had surrendered, and just as she threw down her battering ram, she was about to cheer, but the crossbow bolts rained down on them.

I saw a group of blurry figures with two long ears above their heads, who were shorter than the witch maidens, appeared in the cave of the city gate. Armed with pocket crossbows and light crossbows, they stood in two neat rows. The men in the front row crouched, and those in the back rows stood, aiming their crossbow arrows at the enemy outside the city gates, calmly repeating the steps of reloading and firing.

"Don't be afraid! There are only a few dozen of them! Rush in!! ”

The witch maidens who were in charge of commanding the troops attacking the city gate shouted, and the witches guarding the city gate rushed into the city gate tower with a "hula". When the crossbowmen saw the enemy entering the gatehouse, they immediately scattered and fled. When the witches saw the enemy running away, they quickened their pace and scrambled to the castle.

At the moment when they rushed into the castle, two teams of light infantry hiding on both sides of the city gate suddenly attacked, one left and one right flanking the enemy who entered the castle. This was the tactic that the Tugu people used to defend the city, in other words, it was Ulris's idea.

In fact, this tactic of the Dugu people is not to use light infantry to flank the enemy who enters the city at the beginning, the city wall structure of the Dugu people is relatively special, and there will be a low wall behind the city gate for crossbowmen to stand. After the enemy enters the city, the crossbowmen will first concentrate fire on the enemy in the city gate, and only send spearmen to attack when the enemy actually breaks through the city gate.

But Nami Castle did not have this kind of defensive structure, and Urris's maid team only brought pocket crossbows and light crossbows, the former had an effective range of only a dozen meters, the latter only thirty meters, and the nearest wall was more than forty meters away from the city gate, although the range was sufficient, but these walls could not allow the crossbowmen to stand and shoot.

Therefore, Euris could only let the castle defenders attack in advance, and then let Yu Mingli lead the infantry of the Yu family to launch a counter-charge. She and her maid team had a more important mission, and after Yu Mingli launched a counter-charge, she led the maid team out of the city from the west gate, using the powerful foot power of the Dugu people to quickly go around the rear of the evil witch and ambush them.

At the same time, the escort cavalry led by Yishan had entered the battle position, ready to attack the evil witch at any time. In order to deal with this cavalry, the commander of the Witch had to divide some of his men and place them in the path of the cavalry to delay time.

As the news of the breach of the gates had already arrived, the Witch Maiden's commander told the Ascending Echelon to stop the attack. The team immediately went to the city gate to help, and the witch who carried the ladder immediately returned to get her weapons and equipment, ready to deal with the charge of the enemy cavalry.

In fact, the moment he learned that the enemy army still had hundreds of cavalry, the commander of the witch knew that this battle would not be won. If it weren't for the sudden breach of the city gate, she would probably have lost the will to fight a long time ago. Now she could only hope that the army attacking the city gates would lead the remaining witches to take refuge in the castle as long as they could capture Nami Castle, and the cavalry would only be able to stare at the walls.

However, this is exactly what Mel is thould. In fact, when Maier formulated a new battle plan, he only thought of such a general direction, in order to prevent the evil witch from escaping, and the rest was formulated by Euris and Yishan. Uris formulated a plan to lure the enemy deep and cut off the enemy's rear route, and Yishan formulated a plan to use cavalry to flank the evil witch in two ways and defeat it.

Some people may ask, since Yishan's plan is to use cavalry to flank the evil witch in two ways, where is the other team of cavalry? In fact, as early as when Yishan led the escort cavalry out of the city, Maier took the cavalry of the Yu family out of the city from the south gate. Since the South Gate was in the opposite direction of the enemy's attack, and the Witch Maiden only had infantry, even if they had arranged a sentry here at the South Gate, it would take twice as long to transmit the information back as the sentry outside the East Gate.

Mel's cavalry must have been faster than the sentries, so his cavalry had circled the witch's left flank before the witch's commander could get the information. After a brief rest, Maier took the lead in charging the besieging troops.

Although Mel had less than a hundred horsemen in his hands, his troops attacked the back of the witch and easily routed the witch outside the city gates. Mair and his cavalry pursued for a while, and then quickly withdrew to attack positions.

How come there is still a squad of cavalry?!

When the Witch's commander received this news, his eyes widened wider than the brass bell. She received this news from the mouth of the defeated witch, who, because she had been hunted down by the cavalry, had exaggerated Mel's strength several times over, saying that his cavalry numbered at least five hundred.

The disinformation nearly ruined Meier's plan. When the commander of the evil witch heard that the enemy army still had nearly a thousand cavalry, he completely lost his will to fight, and began to think about running away.

For her, there was only one dead end to return to the Black Shrine, so now there are only two paths to choose from. One is to surrender and exchange the information of the Black Shrine for his own life; The second is to find a way to kill all the Black Guards under the Great Witch, and then order the whole army to attack, and lead his trusted subordinates to escape, and no longer be an evil witch.

Since the former option was too risky, she decided to choose the latter. But it is not easy to kill the Black Guards, this Black Guard is an elite army trained by the Great Witch herself, don't look at the accompanying Black Guards There are only twenty people, if they really fight, a hundred evil witches may not be able to beat them.

The team leader is a smart person, and when she sees that the situation has changed, she will definitely not rush to her death stupidly, so this is the shrine maiden who must use other methods to kill them.

But she didn't want to think about how to kill the Blackguards while she was thinking about how to kill her.

This battle should be unwinnable, and staying here will only be in vain.

The leader of the Blackguard is indeed a smart person, she sees the situation clearly at a glance and wants to run away. She didn't make a military order to the Great Witch, and if she lost this battle, she could put all the blame on the commander. It is impossible for the Great Witch to punish her own descendants, so no matter if the fault is not on the commander, the Great Witch will punish the commander.

Therefore, the shrine maiden who wishes the shrine maiden is mortal. In this case, the leader of the Black Guard decided that the chief witch did not dare to return to the Black Shrine, and she might choose to fight the enemy to the death, or she might want to sneak away. If she chooses the latter, the Blackguards will be her biggest obstacle to escaping, as they will stay by her side the entire time.

She must want to kill us, in that case, we might as well strike first and kill them first!

It's not good to tell your subordinates about this matter in front of outsiders, so the captain of the Black Guard took the initiative to step forward and said to the chief witch of the shrine.

"My lord, the situation ahead is not good, I want to take someone to take a look."

These words hit the heart of the chief witch, and she nodded quietly, and then began to think about the next step.

The Blackguard's departure was an opportunity, and now they can run away. But in this way, if the Blackguard returns alive and tells the Great Witch about my escape, she will definitely send someone to hunt me down.

So I can't run now, and if I do, I'll have to live a life of fear for the rest of my life. Now I'm either going to create the illusion that I'm dead, or I'm going to find a way to take out the Blackguards......

I wish the witch and the witch to weigh it again, and I feel that the great witch will probably not stop if she doesn't see her body, because she is such a person. So she had to choose the more adventurous path: take out the Blackguards.

After the Blackguard left, she gathered all her cronies and told them about her plan. She wanted to take advantage of the Blackguard's unpreparedness to attack them, and as soon as she heard her cough, she would immediately do it, killing a few of them. Wishing the shrine maidens their lives, they all expressed their willingness to follow her plan.

At the same time, the Black Guard's squad leader is also assigning tasks to his subordinates.

"Let's go back in a while, as long as you hear me coughing, you will kill the chief witch and her men, and don't leave your mouth alive, understand?"

"Got it!"

The Blackguards nodded in unison, and the squad leader headed back with his men.

Just when the Black Guard and the shrine maidens of the Black Shrine were about to have a civil war, the evil witches who attacked the city gate were quickly defeated by the defenders because they had no follow-up support. Yu Mingli led the infantry out of the city gate, and after all the infantry of the Yu family left the city, the defenders closed the city gate as planned.

In order to cover her escape, the commander of the witch sent all the troops except her cronies out and told them to attack the city gates again. The Witch Maidens were demoralized at this point, and they symbolically ran forward for a while, dropping their weapons and running away after seeing the light infantry of the Yu family.

Seeing that the enemy army had been dispersed, Maier and Yishan didn't care what the original plan was, so they directly led their troops to intercept and kill, while Yu Mingli's troops covered up behind. In order to facilitate the pursuit, Mel has been firing magic flares, and the witches have tried their best to run away when they see the light, but they don't have to go far before they run into Euris's maid team, and a large area is knocked down by crossbow arrows like wheat harvesting.

Some evil witches want to surrender, and the evil witches have harmed the twenty-nine villages like this, how can the people of the Yu family accept their surrender? Yishan's escort cavalry and Yulis's maid team wanted to take the prisoners, but the people of the Yu family were already red-eyed, and Yishan and Yulisi were afraid that they would hurt their own people, so they didn't stop them.

In this way, most of the witches who came to attack the city were killed, and only a very small number of them escaped because of good luck.
