Chapter 46: The Musketeers on the Top

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Just as Bruno was struggling to support himself with others, there was a sudden cheer behind him.

He looked back with some confusion, and soon, the doubt in his eyes turned to ecstasy.

"Great! it's a thrower and an axeman!"

Because the southern city wall has been rushed up by the enemy under pressure, but it is not without a way to save it, as long as there are enough melee troops, the enemy can be expelled, but it just so happens that the melee troops of the southern city wall are not enough.

It can be said that this wave of reinforcements is simply an army of life!

"Javelin ready, throw!"

The thrower, led by Knight Collin, threw his javelin when he was still thirty meters away from the enemy.

The dense javelins pierced through five or six Theban soldiers who had just climbed the city wall and had no time to dodge, and fell from the top of the wall.

The soldiers waiting below to climb the wall hurriedly dodged, but one of the unlucky people was pierced in the head by the javelin on his comrade's body, and he died with a whimper.

With the addition of reinforcements, the side of the Wallene Kingdom finally regained the initiative.

The axemen raised their two-handed battle axes and slashed down to break through the enemy's defenses, and at this time, the crossbowmen who had already prepared on the side pulled the crossbow machine and shot the enemy into a hornet's nest.

Now there were no more enemies on the wall, but the enemy was still attacking, and the throwers stepped forward, put down their spears and javelins, grabbed their throwing axes and threw them downward.

The spinning axe flew directly to the soldiers who were still charging upwards at Thebes, and the lucky ones fainted after being smashed on the helmet by the back of the axe and screaming, and the unlucky face just received the axe blade, and even the screams could not be made, the axe was directly embedded in the head, and the whole face was evenly divided into two halves by the axe.

"Bell bell-"

There was a hurried ringing of bells from the Theban camp outside the southern wall.

The Theban soldiers, who heard the bell, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Under the city, a black-armored knight waved his hand and ordered the besieging troops to evacuate quickly.

At this point, the arduous defense of the southern city wall was finally over, and the Wallen's side lost a total of more than 50 people, but the side of Thebes was even more miserable, with a total of nearly 150 dead and wounded!

That is, on the first day of fighting alone, the Theban side was reduced by almost two hundred and fifty men!

The night is getting dark.

The bright moon leaped into the sky of Remloth Castle, and the glow of the glow illuminated the smoky battlefield and shone on the cold but solid armor of the warriors.

"After a tiring day, I can finally take a break. The Ford Knight spread himself out on the stone bed, reluctant to move.

In a hut in the middle of the wall, which was supposed to be used for patrolling soldiers to rest, a group of knights were huddled around the fire in the middle and talking.

"It's so tiring! The brutes are endless, and they work well together, and there's a clear division of labor, you see, the wounds on my body are the ones who caused them. Knight Colin removed a piece of plate armor from his shoulder, leaking a fan-shaped slit in his arm.

"Just one centimeter away, my arm was unloaded by the guys. Colin is still a little scared when he thinks about it now, "Their cooperation is so good, I didn't even have time to use my fighting spirit, I was cut into the crack of the plate armor by a small soldier with a knife, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have almost capsized in the gutter." ”

"Come, come, let's eat first! Oleg walked in with a large barrel and sat down beside Ilya.

He opened the barrel and brought out twenty boxes and cutlery, two for each knight.

When you open the box, you will be greeted by a fragrant aroma of evenly sliced beef slices mixed with seasonings and plump grains of grain, stir-fried together, and drizzled with Tarket's special sauce when the heat is just right.

"It's Boss Maitiri's beef rice?!" Knight Colin got excited when he smelled it, he liked it a lot.

"Boss Maitili sent it here, saying that he invited it, and thanked us for guarding Remulos. Oleg said vaguely with his mouth full of beef.

"......Adults! Siege towers!The enemy's siege towers are beginning to advance towards us!" While the knights were eating, a herald ran over in a panic, shouting as he ran.

"What's that?!"

"It's not going to stop all day long!"

"Someone!

Even if the knights were dissatisfied, they had to put down their food, put on their armor, and climb the wall.

When the knights arrived at the walls, Murphy was already there waiting for them.

"Your Highness, how's the situation going?" asked Simon first.

"Not too optimistic, the siege towers are advancing and cannot be stopped. Murphy frowned and replied.

Simon and the others stepped forward and leaned against the female wall to look down.

Below, at least 500 people were hiding behind the siege tower, following the siege tower, slowly advancing forward.

Whether it is with a bow or a javelin, or a spear and axe, it will not hurt the people behind the tower.

In addition, it was dark at night, and the archers and crossbowmen could not see people clearly, so they could only shoot blindly downward, killing the enemy by lottery, and the hit rate was extremely touching.

"Tell the archers and crossbowmen to stop, for it would be a waste of arrows to shoot any further. Murphy waved his hand, "Tell the spearmen, axemen, and spearmen and shieldmen to come up." ”

Then, in the darkness of the night, there were constantly figures running around the city wall with torches.

Soon, there were only about twenty crossbowmen left on the northern wall, and the rest were all replaced by melee troops.

The scattered arrows were still drawing downwards, occasionally killing and wounding a few unlucky people, but they had little effect on the morale of the Thebans.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the soldiers were all waiting with their swords, axes, and war hammers, and the oppressive atmosphere was almost overwhelming.

"Report!Captain Jon Snow, Captain of the Musket Unit, requests to fight on behalf of all the Musketeers!" a loud shout came from behind Murphy.

"Huh?" Murphy looked back at him in surprise, and then said in a cold tone, "You haven't formed an effective combat force yet, so you rejected the request." ”

"Your Highness, I think we can let the musket troops go up and try it. Marshall said as he stepped forward. "There are three reasons for the subordinates. ”

"First, the lethality of the musket is really not small, although hitting the enemy army at a distance depends on fate, but hitting the enemy army at close range is absolutely suppressed. ”

"Second, the enemy had never seen such a weapon before, and the loud noise and smoke of the arquebus firing could throw the enemy into confusion and give our army a chance. ”

"Thirdly, we can show our enemies what we are capable of, and no one will dare to attack after this battle. ”

These three points are reasonable, and Murphy can't say anything more, in fact, he has always wanted to see what kind of painting style the musketeers have against the medieval army.

Therefore, the musket troops in the rear rushed out, carrying arquebuses, and walking towards the northern city wall with neat steps.
