Chapter 600: The Battle of Mandalay (7)
"Hidden ......"
A mournful cry called the attention of the crowd...... In the blink of an eye, a boulder fell from the sky and tumbled into the city.
The dust raised by the boulders flew all over the sky, and after the roar of smashing down a building, there was the silence of the entire fortress, as if this unflattering guest had taken all his life...... Luckily, there was no one in that building, otherwise casualties would have been inevitable.
Bowen. Courtney patted the dust off his body and swaggered to his feet like a nobody. He climbed up to the top of the city with his waist bent, which was to blame the guys under the city, probably because the number of arrows he carried was too sufficient, and there was a rain of arrows at every turn, which brought great inconvenience to the actions of the people in the city.
The deputy commander of the Rock Corps was hunched on his back, and he lifted the corpse of a soldier aside, and beyond the battlement was a dense Moreca army. But Ling Bowen. Courtney was relieved that the enemy's large trebuchets had ceased to operate, suggesting that they were also going to rest.
Bowen. Courtney hid his form well enough to know that the stillness of the trebuchet indicated that the enemy siege force was approaching the castle.
"It's two thousand teams again!" The sentry on the watchtower suddenly shouted, but his voice did not seem to be answered by the fortress.
The sound of enemy footsteps sounded outside the fortress, and through the thick city walls, it sounded like a swarm of mosquitoes eager to suck blood, buzzing!
Bowen. Courtney picked up a broadsword from the side of a corpse and stared coldly at the wall, for any enemy who wanted to set foot on the city must first pass him.
The enemy is besieging the city!
First, there was a shout. And then it's all the voices that come together!
The Molaika people put a long escalator on the battlements of the fort. Then there was a shout of hey, hey, hey.
"How could the people of Moreka make such a sound? It's so weird! Bowen. Courtney was not used to the customs of Moleka.
Just as the enemy was about to storm the top of the city, Bowen. Courtney finally let out a lion's roar, and he was the first to burrow through the walls and flash out of the battlements. With a single sword, he severed the heads of the enemies who had just emerged from the walls.
Finally, the Cordillera warriors, who had been dormant for a long time, rushed out of the caves in the city walls. They quickly moved into combat positions and killed the enemies who jumped off the escalators one by one.
With the shouts of the warring sides, the blood and corpses overlapping, the roar of the sword soldiers and the terrifying screams of the soldiers, the Cordillera warriors greeted the enemy in a variety of ways. Some use swords, some use stones, and some warriors who are pinned down by the enemy directly use hugs, which can be planted with the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, maybe when a guard was lost at a battlement in the city wall. A high-ranking knight carrying the Lion Battle Banner of the Molaika Empire leapt onto the city. His armor was shiny and shiny, and he had two lines of gold around him. The knight slashed down several Cordillera soldiers, then waved the flag as if it were showing off to his comrades in the city.
Bowen. Courtney was impatient, his broadblade had curled up its blade. So he replaced it with a huge axe...... He jumped a few times on the ruined walls. Knock over several more enemies. Finally, he stepped on the corpse of the enemy and rushed to the battlement.
The smirking Knight of Moreka was still waving the flag. Until Bovin. Courtney's axe slashed into his back, and the enemies on the walls were all towards Bowen. Courtney pounced, only to collide with a rushing Cordillera defender. And so the strangulation continued.
Bowen. Courtney took a breath after slashing over the escalator at the battlement with his axe, and threw the body of the Moleka knight from his defensive position, along with the enemy's banner, and spat out loudly as he left.
Afterward...... Still no one can say when. In short, the menacing enemy retreated like the tide, and the city was littered with corpses, buried under broken shields, and the blood fell like a waterfall along the gutters at the head of the city.
"Another day......"
Bowen. Courtney wiped a handful of faces, and he leaned down under the battlements, familiar faces in front of him and behind him, but they were no longer lifeless.
"Is there any anger left?" The deputy commander of the Rock Corps suddenly became impatient, and he hated the silence when the fighting stopped.
Hundreds of bloodied Cordillera warriors stood up in the ruined fortress, searching for survivors until they heard the call of the Lieutenant Commander.
"My lord! Everyone was so good! ”
"Hahaha...... It's good to see that you guys are not good! Bowen. Courtney suddenly laughed happily, and now half to these ugly big faces did make him very happy.
The three castles around Mandalay had been holding out for a week under the attack of the Molaika, and the reinforcements had been stopped by the enemy, but fortunately there were flying units that held back the enemy magicians, otherwise they would have been unable to hold out. However, the enemy's attacks became more and more intense, and the fighting began to deteriorate...... The people of Moreka are like crazy!
The Molaikas threw three regiments of attacking troops into the frontal battle of Mandalay, and the three forts were surrounded by a continuous large battalion, and although the archers in the towers could kill with their eyes closed, the infantry guarding the city were more depressed...... They had to deal with an innumerable number of enemies, not only guarding against cold arrows from under the walls, but also using their chests to fill gaps when their swords and guns were ineffective.
The battle for the walls lasted all day, from the rain to the rainbow, the flags still fluttered in the three castles, and although the garrison guarding the city was gone, the surviving soldiers still reorganized themselves with a short break.
Cordillera officers and soldiers, who had resisted for nine days and nights in Mandalay, continued to fill the dilapidated fortifications, and they had a clear division of labor. Well-organized. The wounded soldiers gathered in the underground passages of the fortress and supported each other with limited medicine; The sappers were divided into small groups, some of them were picking up the arrows that were still useful on the corpses of their comrades, and some were demolishing the buildings in the fortress. Hunt for the big guy to use as ammunition for trebuchets...... All are gearing up for a new battle.
Seem...... The whole fortress is operating, silently! The survivors at the head of the city threw the corpses of their enemies off the walls and gathered the corpses of their comrades together, and the warriors who gathered for weapons nearby had to use all their strength to snatch their swords and guns from the hands of the victims—the Cordillera warriors were brave and fearless, and it was not easy to find the ones with their hands and feet intact among them, but they were still recognizable at a glance by looking at who had the loudest voice and the most gaps in their armor...... Then this guy is definitely an officer.
It was nightfall, and the camp of the Moreka Army was lit with lights. These lights surround the lonely castle and are overwhelming. The evening breeze carried the stench of corpses and the smell of roasting human bodies, especially near the fort gates. It seems to be noon. No one knows exactly when. The Moreka sent a death squad, and the fierce warriors slammed the castle gates with their carts, only to be burned to ashes by the fire oil.
At the moment, in front of the gates of the central castle. Crowded. A team of fighters was led by the chief officer. Through a makeshift trench bridge, a formation was formed outside the moat...... During this time, the two armies fought fiercely. The outside trenches were filled in and dug up, and I don't know how many soldiers from both sides died on both sides of the trenches, standing next to the trenches, bloody and disgusting.
Bowen. Courtney didn't say much, the order had already been ordered during the day, and they were going to do the more traditional thing at this time—stealing the camp and robbing the village!
All the warriors who went out of battle not only armed with melee weapons, but also armed with strong bows, quickly advanced towards the enemy camp under the cover of night......
When it came time to get into the attacking position, Bowen. Courtney stopped, drew his bow and ...... arrow, and with a 'whoosh', the arrow broke out with an incendiary grenade, slashed through the air in an arc, and landed on the enemy camp.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the incendiary bomb exploded, and a ball of flame rose into the air, covering an area of several meters.
At the same time, other Cordillera warriors also raised their bows and released arrows in a dense rain of arrows falling on the military camp of the Moreka people, a large area of flames spread in the camp, many tents have been caught in the sea of fire, those Moreca warriors who have been resting have no time to react, some were directly burned to death by the fire in their dreams, and some rushed out of the fire with burning flames on their bodies, and let out a terrible cry from their mouths,
The sound of trumpets sounded in the enemy camp, and more and more enemies began to gather, and a cavalry of nearly a thousand men rounded the fire and charged towards the Cordillera army.
Bang! Bang!
Two incendiary bombs exploded in front of the enemy cavalry, fireballs rained down, and more than a dozen cavalry in the front stood up into burning men and fire horses, staggering and staggering, and stumbling on the ground, and the rear cavalry could not restrain their momentum, crashing into the flames, and for a while people howled and neighed, and the miserable situation was unbearable.
Bowen. Courtney Courtney shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”
Rows of arrows shot from behind the shields, mercilessly attacking the enemy horsemen, and large swaths of the enemy horsemen fell in response.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing more and more enemies bypassing the flames and rushing towards him, Bowen. Courtney no longer insisted, and after fighting back against the cavalry in front of him, he ordered the night raiders to retreat immediately...... After these few days of confrontation, Bowen. Courtney is also well aware of the strength of the Moreka Army, and with the current situation of the Cordillera Army, once they go head-to-head, it will be a tough battle. The most important thing is that the enemy has a steady stream of reinforcements, and they only have about a thousand of them. When the soldiers of the enemy camp are integrated, their own army will be defeated.
Fortunately, Bowen. Courtney had already planned to retreat some distance from the back, and the troops lined up in a posture of a decisive battle.
"Kill!"
Friede, who was just in the middle of a dream, was quite angry when he got up, especially after seeing the front camp burned to pieces, the anger turned into fire directly...... During this time, the siege of the city was enough, and even a remnant army was robbed of the camp, which was no longer a battle, but an insult. Command the soldiers to charge the Cordillera army in a way that will break through the opponent's battle formation.
Bang! Bang! Bang......
A series of explosions came and went, and in the smoke rising, the Moreka army, which was more than 100 meters ahead of the Cordillera army, was suddenly exploded, and the people were blown up, and in a miserable roar, countless severed limbs and wreckage were thrown up and down, and the neat team just now was in chaos.
Laugh at! Laugh at! Laugh at......
Thousands of arrows rained down on the Cordillera army, mercilessly slaughtering the enemy who could no longer fight back.
Fred had no choice but to order a retreat, which was supposed to be a whirlwind of momentum, but ended up with a gloomy retreat. Bowen. Courtney took it and returned to the castle in an orderly manner.
……
Maev was finally able to catch his breath, and the heavy cavalry finally broke through the encirclement, which seemed to prove that the defense system of the orcs and barbarians was not impregnable.
However, Maev found that his mouth was extremely bitter, to be precise, the opponent did not really carry out a decent defense against his heavy cavalry, in addition to wave after wave of baptism of spears, and even took the initiative to give up a small opening to let his heavy cavalry pass.
It seemed that the opponent was afraid of the impact of his heavy cavalry and retreated, but the opening was not wide, and the heavy cavalry who rushed to the road paid several times more casualties than usual due to their density, almost a single spear caused the casualties of a heavy cavalryman, such a tragic price was simply unbearable for Maev.
What made Maev suffer the most was that the entire light cavalry was surrounded and suppressed by the opponent after the heavy cavalry broke through, and none of the cavalry could rush out of the encirclement, which was a typical bullying, and the heavy cavalry that let go of their own side swallowed the exhausted light cavalry in one gulp, and the opponent used the tactics of avoiding reality and making up for nothing.
But Maev had only done this, Sir Miaran and the others had retreated safely, and this old thing escaped no less than those young men with nimble hands and feet, and even Mayev secretly admired it...... It would be great if he could maintain such a good level of reflexes at his age.
The fate of the knights had already been decided, and even his own 8,000 hussars were dragged in, and Maev was very angry at his cowardice - why couldn't he simply refuse? Even if he is dismissed, it is far better than being beaten to the ground and fleeing in embarrassment.
Mayev glanced at Sir Mialan, who seemed to be many years old, after returning this time, he and he were afraid that they would end up sadly, but it didn't matter, the loss of 8,000 light armored cavalry also meant that all the mobile troops of the Molaika Empire on the southern front of Fenglu were lost, leaving only the heavy armored cavalry whose mobility was far inferior, and the more than 20,000 infantry still stationed in Katyn behind them could no longer obtain an assault cavalry force that could support their actions in a short period of time, This may make this dispatch of Fenglu into an extremely ugly lame show.
