Chapter 430: The Battle of Fort Marcy (5)

…………

By this time, the Welsh legionnaires had already sharpened their knives, and their hands had already rested on the huge stones, and they were waiting for an order to pick up the stones and smash them at the heads of the Kodor soldiers.

When the order was given to strengthen the city walls, the soldiers of the Welsh Legion also transported anti-enemy materials such as stones and fire oil to the city walls under the command of officers, and were ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

"Siege!" Count Kodor drew his broadsword at his waist and yelled at the Kodor siege troops.

"Rush, ......"

"Kill......"

With an order, the Kodor soldiers carried the tall ladders, pushed the battering ram and stone machine, and rushed all the way to the south and north gates of Kodor under the cover of the shield-raising soldiers.

"Two hundred steps."

"One hundred and fifty steps."

"Steady!"

"Fifty steps."

"Bow and arrow wound, ready!"

"Put!"

With an order, hundreds of armor-piercing heavy arrows flew towards the Kodor soldiers who were rushing all the way. With shields to resist, only a few unlucky guys were shot in the foot and knocked to the ground by the soldiers who rushed to kill them.

"Prepare for the stone!" Angus, who was in charge of the walls of the southern city, commanded the soldiers defending the city. After a rain of arrows, the Kodor soldiers had already sent their siege equipment to the foot of the city walls. Five or six soldiers worked together under the cover of shields to erect the ladder and were responsible for covering the soldiers who climbed the city.

"Smash me!" With an order, dozens of pounds of rocks rolled from the city walls. For a moment, four or five Kodol soldiers had already rolled under the corner, spitting blood, and were dragged away from the battlefield under the cover of shields.

"Hans, Bury, you two are in charge of the east, and the rest of me are in charge of the west!" Company Captain Rig said to his subordinates Hans and Burry.

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the order, the two men led the people to run towards the eastern city wall.

"Be careful!" Just as the two of them were running to the other side of the wall, a huge stone flew towards Burley, who was running in front of them.

"MD, it's a big hanging!" Burry, who had been pushed down by Hans, shouted.

"Be careful, you boy," complained Hans, "you think the enemy's stones don't have eyes." ”

"Hey, hey," Burry said, with a nonchalant look, "isn't it because we're standing tall, who knew those bastards could do that." Fortunately, the Lord had already ordered us to strengthen the city wall in advance, otherwise my head would have been in the paste. Hahaha......"

"Alright, get up, don't let those bastards climb up!"

With that, the two of them ran towards the pile of stones.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! The sound of battering rams striking the south gate was heard.

"My lord, the enemy is starting to break down the door." Angus ran over to Yat, who was standing on the battlement and observing the situation on the battlefield.

"Sergeant Major, I don't need to teach you this." Art looked at the fire oil can in the corner and said to Angus.

"Understood!" With that, Angus led his soldiers to the canister of fire......

"Burn these bastards for me!" Odo, who was in charge of defending the North City Gate, commanded Colin, the captain of the second company, and Andrew, the deputy of the company, who were supervising the battle together.

According to Yat's deployment, Angus led the first company and the third company of the first flag team to garrison the south city gate, and Otto led the second company and the third company of the second flag team to garrison the north city gate. The third company was left with a flag team as a reserve on standby to fill the vacancy.

"Yes, Chief Odo!" The two took the order and left.

"Smash!" At Odo's command, dozens of clay pots filled with fire oil were tossed from the walls of the northern city towards the shields of the Kodor-breaking soldiers and the surrounding clearing.

"What does it smell like?" A Kodor soldier carrying a shield to cover the siege troops' breach of the door asked his companion.

"Looks like I've smelled somewhere before."

For the Kodor soldiers who had not fought for many years, the oil was already a little unfamiliar.

"Fire oil! It's fire oil! With a shout from one of the leading knights leading the Kodor soldiers in the siege, the special arrows that had ignited at the end of the arrows on the walls had fallen into the middle of the fire oil that had been spilled on the ground.

With a violent explosion, the fire oil on the ground suddenly ignited the cotton armor of the Kodor soldiers besieging the city gate, and the flames suddenly burst into the sky.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Help me, save me!"

I saw the Kodor soldiers roaring one by one, rolling on the ground, running, the skin on their faces was burned by the fire and huge blood bubbles, and their hair emitted a foul stench in the air, dead and wounded.

…………

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

Hans and Burry, who were standing on the walls of the southern city to defend against the enemy soldiers, laughed when they saw the Kodor soldiers who were scurrying around with fire due to the fire ordered by Angus to attack with fire oil.

"Hans, look at those guys, they've all turned into fire men, hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

…………

"Toot ......"

"Toot ......"

"Toot ......"

With the sound of the retreat of the troops coming from the rear position of the Kodor, the Kodor soldiers dropped their siege equipment and hurriedly retreated......

"Stop attacking!" After Kodor retreated, Angus commanded the soldiers defending the city.

…………

Moments ago, the Count of Kodor, who had been commanding from the rear, had thought that he had prepared enough siege equipment to break through Fort Marssy. However, under repeated attacks by the Kodor soldiers, Fort Marsi remained unmoved. Even the huge rocks smashed into it only caused the walls to fall a little rubble. He saw a huge stone smashed into two Welsh legionnaires running eastward, and he never thought that those two fellows were so fatal that they could escape under the cover of the city wall.

The soldiers who broke through the city gate were also burned to death by more than 20 burns and more than 10 burns by the fire oil that was thrown down. On the ladder, the soldiers who had not yet climbed half of the ladder were smashed by the enemy's rocks and their heads were bleeding, and even if they hit the shield, the Kodor soldiers who fell down were already missing arms and legs, and could no longer fight......

The casualties in the direction of the northern city were comparable to those in the southern city. If this continues, even if Marsy Fort is taken, it will definitely pay a huge price.

After much thought, Count Kodor decided to withdraw his troops for the time being, and after a slight adjustment, he would attack the city again.

…………

"My lord, the Kodorians have withdrawn!" Angus, who had just finished commanding the battle, reported to Yat Ter, who had come to inspect the wounded soldiers on the city walls.

"Well, I see it, Sergeant Major." Art spoke in a calm tone, "How about our soldiers' injuries. Art asked with concern.

"Report to your lord, after preliminary statistics, three people were killed in this battle, two were injured by the enemy's stones, one was hit by an arrow in the head, and seven people were slightly injured." Angus replied.

"After the war, you are responsible for settling the dead and wounded soldiers, and ask the healer to treat the wounded soldiers immediately." Art commanded.

"Yes, sir." Angus replied, "The enemy's trebuchets this time are extraordinary, and if we hadn't strengthened the walls earlier, I'm afraid we would have killed and wounded many more soldiers." ”

"Yes," Ather nodded, "Fort Marcy was built by the Kodorians, and they know how well the walls are defended, but they don't know that we have tampered with them. ”

"Well, that's true. Or adults have a vision! Angus said admiringly.

"Sergeant Major, you let the soldiers rest immediately while the enemy retreats, and the next battle will be the most tragic." Art commanded Angus.

"Your Excellency, are you saying that the enemy will attack the city again?" Angus asked.

"The people of Kodor must know that we are short of food and grass, and that besieging Fort Marci is the best policy. And this time they chose to attack Marcy Castle, what do you think is the reason for that?" Art asked Angus.

"You mean, the order of the court of the province of Thorne?" Angus said as he looked at Art.

"That's right, the new monarch has secretly ordered us to attack the city of Kodor within fifteen days, knock north on the province of Thorne, form a flank attack on the Thorne court, and force them to submit." Art explained.

"My lord, I understand, the Thorne court is almost unable to resist the offensive of the Eastern Mirror, and urgently orders Kodor to go north to support after solving the problem of Fort Marcie."

"Yes!" Art replied firmly.

"Sergeant Major," Art beckoned Angus to come closer, "you immediately arrange for the soldiers to be ready on the eastern wall for ...... to wait for the Kodor army...... Also, take those captives ......"

"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away." After receiving the secret order, Angus hurried towards the city wall.

Art turned to look at the Kodor camp, where the enemy soldiers were staggering in the open space of the position, all with dull expressions and frightened faces......

…………

"Lord Earl, since the attack fails, why don't you make peace with those people? As long as we show enough sincerity, it will be enough to turn them back. "In the camp of the Kodor army, many officers have become war-weary after this battle and advocate peace.

"Peace? Do you think they'll make peace with us? We've already sent people to negotiate before the war starts, do you want to watch them insult me again? Yes! "Count Kodor was furious when he heard this guy's suggestion.

"Listen to me, whoever dares to mention peace again, I cut off his dog's head!" Count Kodor rebuked.

"Yes!"

"Order the whole army to kill one Welsh legionnaire with a reward of fifteen hundred pfennigs, and to kill three knights, and to give him five hundred acres of land, and to have a hereditary title. Kill five enemy soldiers, reward four thousand pfenni, bestow the title of baron, reward eight hundred acres of land, knighthood," Count Kodor looked at the wide-eyed officers around him, "hereditary! ”

"Swear allegiance to the Earl!"

"Swear allegiance to the Earl!"

In the tent of the Great Cordor barracks, everyone was boiling when Count Kodor announced this opportunity that everyone had dreamed of.

…………

"Look, my lord, the Kodorians are here again." Ron, who was observing, said to Art.

"Order, all arms for war!" Art said to Ron as he looked at the returning Kodor soldiers.

"Yes, sir!"
