Chapter 82: The Battle for the City Wall
The next day, Musen City.
The offensive and defensive battle led by the army of horse breeders led by Baron Err and the guards led by Tim of Musen City has reached the most critical moment.
After receiving the proposal of his subordinate Brie, Baron Err found all the carpenters in the territory overnight, and worked overtime to make more than a dozen long ladders more than ten meters long, in order to make these long ladders, Baron Err even cut down the grove next to the camp.
As soon as the day dawned, Baron Er'er ordered an attack on Musen City, and the cavalry also dismounted, and followed the infantry to transport more than a dozen long ladders to the wall of Musen City, and put one end of the wooden ladder one meter away from the city.
"Kill, kill......" There was a roar from under the city wall, and one by one the warriors rushed forward, quickly climbing on the ladder, trying to climb to the top of the city.
With the help of a ladder, Baron Erle and Brie, who were low-ranking knights, easily climbed to the top of the city.
Tim and his guards on the city wall knew something was wrong when he saw the warrior of the horse collar approaching the city wall with a novel long ladder.
It's a pity that the guards of Musen City didn't have any long-range attacks at all, and could only watch as the warriors of the horse collar leaned the long ladder against the city wall.
Since the front end of the long ladder of the horse collar was still a meter away from the city, the guards at the head of the city could not touch it, let alone overturn it. In order to resist the warriors who were slowly approaching the city, the guards at the head of the city could only throw the stones stored on the city wall downward, trying to smash the warriors down the ladder.
"Stop, don't let them come up!" Tim stabbed the horse-keeper a meter away from the city with a knight's spear, and ordered the guards on the city walls.
"Ahh......h
"Boom!"
With the resistance of the city wall guards, some of the horse raising soldiers were smashed down, and there were bursts of screams under the city wall.
Unfortunately, the short-term advantage of the guards of Musen City came to an abrupt end after the two of them, Baron Err and Brie, successfully climbed the city wall. The two low-ranking knights were like two humanoid beasts, attacking the guards on the city wall, and it is worth mentioning that the two hundred warriors given to Tim by Baron Jean were all infantry, and it was difficult to resist the slaughter of the two low-ranking knights.
Tim Knight on the side also reacted and hurriedly blocked the two, but unfortunately Tim became a low-level knight and was weak not long ago, not to mention that he was now facing the siege of two knights.
The guards of the city wall who were scattered did not have time to stop the warriors who climbed up, and there were more and more warriors who slowly climbed the city wall, and the guards of Musen City did not have an advantage in terms of number and strength, and fell under the encirclement and suppression of the warriors of the horse raiser.
At this time, at the foot of a low slope very close to Musen City, more than 500 cavalry led by Antonio of the Blue Desolation Knights were standing by.
As for the battle losses of the previous three squadrons, after returning to the Qinghuang Territory, the cavalry was selected from the sixth, seventh, and eighth squadrons to make up for it.
Not long ago, Antonio took the lead in capturing the town of Raising Horses with the Knights of the Green Wilderness, and in just a few minutes, the Horse Raising Fort fell under the offensive of the Knights of the Green Wilderness, and the Abel family of the Raising Horse Town was slaughtered, and all the guards were killed.
After capturing the horse raiser, Antonio only sent a few cavalry to garrison the horse raiser, and then came to the vicinity of Musen City with the Blue Desolation Knights non-stop, preparing to annihilate the army of the horse raiser and occupy Musen City by the way.
A cavalryman was sent to reconnoiter and returned, quickly came to the front of the group, and reported to Antonio, who was sitting on his horse.
Now the two sides have been fighting on the south wall, but the gate to the north has been opened by some wealthy merchants, probably trying to escape from Musen City for a while. "The cavalry reported truthfully.
Due to the geographical location of the horse collar and Musen City, the first place that the horse collar army came to was the south gate of Musen City, and the horse collar naturally attacked Musen City through the south, and the other three sides were not considered, which also led to the fact that Knight Tim put all the guarding forces on the south city wall, so that the other three city walls were sparsely guarded.
After observing the battle on the city wall, the wealthy merchants in the city decisively opened the north gate, wanting to escape from Musen City first, so as not to be affected. Of course, the strength of these rich merchants is not weak, although they are not as strong as the baron, but they also employ a lot of guards and mercenaries, which is why they can easily open the north gate.
"Take a detour, go to the north of Musen City first, enter Musen City from the north gate, and let's go!" Antonio turned his horse's head and said quickly.
With Antonio's order, the Knights of the Green Desolation moved with it, running towards the north of Musen City, which was not as big as the city of later generations, and after sparing some distance, it didn't take long for the Knights of the Green Desolation to come to the north of Musen City.
To the north of Musen City, a large number of convoys are slowly leaving Musen City, and the carriages are full of batches of goods and wealth, which are the carriages of the wealthy merchants of Musen City.
There is a large group of civilians in the city after learning the news, but also want to escape from Musen City, resulting in a crowd at the city gate, in order to keep the city gate unblocked, it is their own convoy can pass smoothly, the rich merchants let their guards and hired mercenaries block the civilians on the side of the road, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the road, for a moment the sound of abuse and quarrels is endless, and some civilians began to attack the guards.
"Hurry, hurry!!" said the wealthy merchant Bazel, moving his fat body, sticking his fat head out of his horse, and yelling at the groom.
The same is true of the other wealthy merchants, urging the grooms and the guards to drive out the civilians who have crowded in order to get their convoys out early.
The heavy goods and wealth seriously slowed down the speed of the carriage, and before the first carriage left the city for two hundred meters, it was encountered by the Knights of the Green Wilderness, and the entire convoy was surrounded by the Cavalry of the Green Wilderness.
The wealthy merchants were also startled by the heavily armed Qinghuang cavalry that surrounded them, and the noisy convoy fell silent for a moment, and they all looked at this group of cavalry of unknown origin in fear.
"It's the cavalry of the Green Wilderness Leader!" Bazel in the rear felt a pang in his heart.
He had the privilege of seeing the Green Wilderness cavalry from afar, with uniform black leather armor, spears and unknown weapons on his back, and an iron sword hanging from his waist, majestic and unstoppable, but now when he saw it, Bazel remembered it.
"Tony, take your fifth squadron and look at these guys, don't let one go, the others will follow me into town. ”
"Yes, Captain!" replied Tony.
After leaving Tony and his fifth squadron behind, Antonio quickly entered the city with the other four squadrons.
