Chapter 36: The Battle at the Head of the City

The ladders were so fragile that many of them began to break after the stones fell, and now the only threat to the walls was the siege towers.

The Chekel soldiers below climbed the siege tower, and the weight of the siege tower was not easily shaken by the soldiers, so it was impossible to push him down.

Three Chekels appeared at the end of the siege tower, and they hesitated to climb the wall due to the soldiers' spears, at which point William's soldiers began to riot, and even a few broke out of formation to attack the enemy on the siege tower.

William frowned when he saw it, the situation he feared the most appeared, the recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time could not bear the pressure, and the formation collapsed.

William could only shout loudly: "Don't be afraid, as long as we maintain the formation, no one can break through us, you guys get back for me!" ”

Hearing William's roar, several soldiers who had broken away from the formation hurriedly stepped down from the planks of the siege tower, such a scene was really terrible for the recruits who had only participated in the arms fight of dozens of people.

At this moment, a cold arrow hit the throat of one of the soldiers, and blood splattered out, and the soldier stumbled and fell directly on the city wall, and died in front of William.

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers couldn't help but shudder, and the formation became slightly scattered, and the enemy on the siege tower saw such a scene and rushed up directly with shouts.

"Monks, God gives me strength!" They shouted their faith in their mouths, and the scimitars in their hands were waved high like soldiers rushing towards them, frightening the soldiers a little timid.

They are obviously the elite of the Chekel people, fully equipped, and the momentum of the three of them shocked more than thirty soldiers, William and they looked at the timid appearance of the soldiers, and they all knew that if they continued like this, they would definitely collapse completely, and they had to find a way to boost morale.

William didn't even think much about it, he went directly to the three enemies, using the life-for-life style of fighting, anyway, his equipment was better than the other party, he could kill the other party, but the other party couldn't kill himself.

Sure enough, the enemy's scimitar armor-piercing ability was not good, and it slashed at William's armor and directly cut his blouse, but the armor was unscathed, and William's long sword swung and directly cut his throat, and blood was sprayed.

Norwen and Urimu had already done it together at the moment of William's attack, and everything on the narrow city wall needed to be very fast, a distance of a few meters could only be reached in a second, and both of them had a clean and clean attack on the enemy.

William's helmet was stained with blood, and he looked extremely brave, and he shouted angrily under the cover of voyeurism: "Don't be afraid, the weapons in your hands can easily kill the enemy, you are all equipped even better than them, you have been trained by me for two years, you are elite!" Trained Elite! For every enemy you kill, I'll reward him with a copper coin! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, hearing the price offered by William, the morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted, a copper coin is one-fifth of their monthly salary!

Even the eight servants of the three people were not greatly stimulated, it was the first time for them to go on such a battlefield, and the tension was inevitable, although they were well-equipped and well-trained.

After killing those three people, the enemies behind rushed up from the siege tower again, this time not three people, but dozens of people, and there were many more enemies waiting to rush up the wall through the siege tower.

William and the three of them stood at the front of the array, they were responsible for stabilizing the formation and relieving the pressure on the recruits, and the heavily armed knights would reassure the recruits.

Although the two squad leaders were also a little nervous, they must not leak their timidity in front of Lord Jazz.

"Ready! Hold your spear tightly, Lord Sir is with us! "They boost morale.

Several of the enemy, led by them, had already rushed in front of the soldiers, and they could even see the pores on each other's faces.

"Ahh The soldiers let out a roar, and the soldiers in the front row stabbed out their spears one after another, and two years of training showed his effect at this moment, and the sharp spears penetrated the enemy with an indomitable momentum, only to see that the enemy's body was suddenly splattered with blood, and a few fragments of internal organs flowed out of the wound.

Before William could make a move, several enemies were all killed, and the few leather armors could not defend against William's spearheads, each of which was pierced through the body by several spears at the same time, and died in great pain, and even a few people were not dead, lying on the ground wailing.

The soldiers didn't have time to pay attention to them, because the enemy behind them was screaming and shouting their slogans, and they were constantly attacking the walls.

The soldiers seemed to have found their senses, and their mouths involuntarily let out cheers, not expecting that it would be so easy to kill the enemy, but they didn't know how to divide a copper coin. , this is the voice of all soldiers.

William smiled under the helmet, after this war, all the soldiers will transform into experienced veterans, and the combat effectiveness of recruits and veterans is completely different, regardless of the level of training.

More than a dozen enemies jumped from the siege tower, and the soldiers began to get better, but the situation was obviously different after the number of enemies, and one enemy, after being pierced by three or four spears, did not die, supported his body, and with all his strength, sent the spear in his hand out, and stabbed a soldier in the body.

The soldier's eyes widened and he looked at his wound in horror, but fortunately, the enemy's spear was not sharp enough and the strength was not enough, and the leather armor on his body saved him, and the leather armor was almost broken.

Seeing that the soldier was okay, the other soldiers were also overjoyed, such leather armor has its own, thanks to Lord Sir, we will definitely be able to return home safely, such protection, in the face of enemy attacks, all the soldiers thought so.

After discovering that the enemy's weapons could not break through their defenses, the morale of the soldiers increased significantly, and they did not shy away from the fear of death.

The records of the servants are even more impressive, the eight servants are usually gathered together for training, and they are also very skilled in cooperating with the battle, and after a little tempering on the battlefield, they burst out with strong combat effectiveness, they are not afraid of the enemy's scimitar spears, and the long sword in their hands can bring up a splash of blood every time they swing.

Sure enough, there are no immortals in the war, even if the soldiers are brave, they can't avoid death, less than an hour after the battle began, three soldiers were killed, one was shot in the eye by a cold arrow, and the other two were directly killed by the enemy who rushed up, and there were several who were slightly injured.

Blood has been shed all over the city wall, corpses are piled up on the city wall, mixed with some internal organs in the middle, the Cheker people looked at the miserable situation of the soldiers in front of them, a little hesitant, after all, they rarely see such a scene, even the conflict between the tribes is not so cruel, they are afraid.

"This can't be done, the casualties are too great!" William said silently in his heart, just now, another soldier was cut off by the enemy because of carelessness, fortunately, the soldiers grew up rapidly on the battlefield, otherwise the morale would definitely collapse!

Gradually, not only did the enemy rush up on the siege tower, but even the ladder had quite a few enemies able to climb the city wall, and as for the unarmed soldiers, it was estimated that there would be almost twenty dead and wounded!

William's heart is dripping blood, these are his people, population represents wealth, and it is estimated that his income will shrink a lot after this battle.

Slashing the neck of an enemy again, William didn't know how many enemies he had killed, although the body was not particularly tired, but the mind was a little tired.

Behind him were their soldiers, and with the exception of their part of the wall, where there was already a lot of hard fighting, and many Chekers climbed the walls along ladders and siege towers, which meant that his soldiers even had to face threats from their side.

A low horn sounded from below the castle with a low "......" order, and the Chekers were finally frightened, and they would not attack again for at least three hours after retreating.

The rest of the enemies were easy to do, and William shouted, "Soldiers, do your best!" They're retreating, they're being beaten back by us! Kill them all! ”

As he spoke, William glanced down, and sure enough, there were no soldiers going up under the siege tower, but dozens of soldiers dragging the siege tower to prepare to retreat to the position.

Although the siege towers were withdrawn, there were still many Chekel soldiers on the walls, and when they saw the siege towers retreating, how could they not know that they had been abandoned.

Suddenly chaos began, some Chekers lost hope of resistance and directly laid down their weapons, and some Chekers began to attack frantically, surrounded by all the soldiers and knights on the wall, except for the surrender of the Chekers were all killed.

After cleaning the city walls, William counted the casualties: nine were killed, three were seriously wounded, and seven were lightly wounded, that is, eleven people lost their combat effectiveness after the first round of attacks, and William's heart was bleeding.

These soldiers who died in battle are not counting those who were conscripted, just the soldiers who were completely out of production and training, there were eleven people who lost their combat effectiveness, and the casualties of the conscripted soldiers reached more than 20 people, more than half of the casualties!

Fortunately, there were no casualties among Hu, and there was still a layer of leather armor under their chain mail, and William's spending money at any cost was still useful, and they walked on the battlefield for a while, and their combat effectiveness skyrocketed.

Although the casualties are not small, but the record is worthy of such casualties, William alone killed and wounded more than 100 enemies, not counting the casualties under the city wall when the enemy attacked the city, William waved his hand, directly gave a promise, rewarded each soldier with five copper coins, ashamed of the soldiers under the command of Nuowen Limu, the soldiers who got the promise were naturally full of joy, and shouted Long live Lord Sir Sir one after another.

As for the fallen soldiers, William hadn't thought about what to do to their families, but at least it wasn't too bad, and although the other lords didn't care about it, he thought he couldn't leave it alone, whether it was for humanitarian reasons or for the support of the soldiers, he should give some pension.
