Section 120: First engagement
Across the river, the arrows of both sides are intertwined, and sometimes the sound of the shafts of the arrows colliding with each other can be heard.
Jeffrey's archers relied on a large number of people, while Grington's crossbowmen relied on strong defenses, and they condescended to take advantage of the geographical advantage, and from time to time some of the archers on the opposite bank fell to the ground.
"Don't stop." Phoebe watched the slow progress of the crash, and hurriedly stepped forward to push the rushing car, and the car gradually crossed the river with the arrows overhead.
"They've built a rush car this time." On the Glinton wall, Edward and the others looked at Jeffrey's soldiers who crossed the river, and Edward said to Bruce anxiously.
"Brethren, it's time for us to go out." Bruce knew that if it was a simple defense, he would definitely be pulled out by the other party one by one, and he shouted loudly to his retainers.
"Oooo Shield Splitter Danny raised his hand excitedly and roared loudly, like a beast in heat.
"Master Bruce, let's go." Stukov squeezed Bruce's shoulder and said to him.
"No, this is the first meeting, and we must not lose." Bruce knew that he had to fight this battle himself, so he put on an iron helmet, put on the armor, and walked down the steps of the city wall with the sword of courage in his hand.
Phoebe's attacking forces first occupied the riverbank, using it as a base to rally and uproot the nearest tower, but this build-up was not easy, as the crossbow bolts overhead continued to descend on them.
"Aggressive."
Several sergeants raised their shields to cover Phoebe's head, and the arrows of the crossbow bolts pierced through the shield, and Phoebe looked up in surprise, but she didn't expect this kind of arrow to be so powerful.
"Damn, how many pounds of bow is this, how many archers do they have?" Phoebe said in horror, an arrow of such power was enough to pierce his armor.
"Crash car offense." Fearful of the terrifying arrows, Phoebe ordered her soldiers to attack with a crash cart built by craftsmen with a thick wooden plank on top like a tortoiseshell to protect the soldiers pushing the cart.
"They pushed the crash truck over." The Glinton crossbowmen in the tower panicked, and the ramming cart was a weapon used to attack the castle, smashing through the solid stone with a ram once it approached the walls.
"Crunch, crunch." The ramming car slowly approached under the impetus of the soldiers, and the arrow towers above their heads and on both sides also focused their firepower on them, and the crossbow bolts continued to shoot at the soldiers on both sides of the rushing car.
"Ahh One soldier was shot through the leg and he fell to the ground screaming.
"Up, on." Phoebe, who followed behind with a shield, immediately grabbed a soldier and pushed him forward to make up for the fallen soldier's position.
"Hey, hey, hey." Jeffrey's soldiers pushed the rushing cart, they let out a low horn sound, there was no way back on the battlefield, they could only complete the mission and die, or die on the road.
"Ping-pong." With the efforts of Jeffrey's soldiers, the rushing car finally approached the arrow tower, and the rushing car made a ping-pong sound, and the pestle hung in the car and shook for a while.
"Great." Phoebe's face grinned, and he licked his chapped lips as he watched the rush through the gap in his shield.
"Bump." A sergeant in the car commanded loudly.
"Hey, hey." Jeffrey's soldiers immediately threw the battering hammer hanging in the car backwards, and the battering hammer slowly pulled backwards.
"Put." The sergeant major saw that he had pulled the ram behind him and commanded loudly.
"Whew~." The heavy ram slammed forward like a swing, followed by a loud bang and slammed into the tower.
"Oh." The crossbowmen in the tower only felt their feet tremble, and they looked at each other nervously, if the tower fell, they would definitely not survive.
"Kill~~." At that moment, Greenton's gates opened, and Bruce, wearing a helmet and sword in hand, led his retainers and soldiers to rush out, and they pounced in the direction of the crashing car.
"Oh no, they're coming to destroy the crashing car, and they must be stopped." Phoebe immediately ordered the soldiers.
"Forward." Jeffrey's soldiers stood up, spears and shields in hand, and headed for Bruce and the others.
"Rush~~." Bruce took a deep breath, his nostrils filled with the smell of dirt and blood, clenched his sword tightly, and with a roar of rage, he rushed towards the enemy who had entered the village, and behind him were Stukov, Shield Splitter, Eve and others immediately followed, and Edward blindfolded himself with a thick linen cloth as he walked.
The two sides immediately collided in the center of the village, but when Bruce engaged the enemy, Stukov and the others overtook him and fought with the enemy first, and several spear-wielding soldiers guarded Bruce's side.
"Poof~~." Stukov's dagger flew up and down, and he bent his body like a cheetah descending from a mountain, inadvertently stretched out his sharp claws, and in an instant he accurately cut the neck of the opponent, and blood spurted from the wound.
"Wow." The battle of Shield Splitter Danny is not so clean, he likes to use the axe in his hand to split the opponent, and then unconcerned to smash the opponent's head to pieces, or drag out the opponent's intestines to shake off, the steaming internal organs make the enemy tremble, and some of the timid even have trembling legs and can't move their steps.
"Bastard, we have the advantage in numbers, hurry up and surround and destroy them." Phoebe doesn't realize that Lord Bruce is inside, and he just annoys his soldiers for being afraid.
"Whoosh~~." As Phoebe commanded his soldiers to attack, an arrow suddenly shot at him, piercing his right hand.
"Ah~." Phoebe let out a terrible howl, and several soldiers rushed forward to pull him to the ground, shielding him from him.
"Tsk, I missed it." Bruce asked as Eve lowered her bow in her hand.
"No, I just aimed at his right hand." Eve shrugged her shoulders and said to Bruce.
"Don't you kill him?" Bruce asked curiously.
"It's useless to kill this kind of nobleman, and he can exchange it for money when he is captured." Eve said this to Bruce, but she shot an arrow with a swift bow, only to see a soldier who tried to sneak up on Stukoph from behind and was shot in the throat and fell.
"Thank you." Stukov heard the movement behind him, turned his head to see the sneak attacker, and motioned to Eve, who was standing next to Bruce.
"Is it my turn?" Edward's eyes were covered with coarse linen, and the chaotic sounds of the battlefield were in his ears, but he had gradually developed to distinguish between sounds.
Several of Jeffrey's soldiers looked at each other curiously when they saw the blindfolded stranger, but they immediately realized that maybe it was a good prey.
