Chapter 374: Evenly matched

With a creaking sound, the planks that extended from the well were placed on the wall, and the soldiers on the wall could not lift the planks because of their weight.

Forty wells were erected on the wall, and under William's orders, the heavy infantry first ascended the wall, striving to seize a wall as a foothold.

And William did this because he took into account the other party's Berserk Guard, after all, it is impossible for the other party's Mainek Principality to be without the Berserk Guard.

In this way, the heavy infantry were followed by the Denglenberg infantry, who began to climb up the well with heavy and slow steps.

Wrapped in heavy armor, the heavy infantry moved very slowly, and even the Denlenburg infantry moved slightly slower than the other armies, and this was when the Denlenburg infantry had been trained for a long time to run.

After all, their weight is already more than forty kilograms, and the armor alone has the weight of more than thirty attacks.

The armed infantry of the armies of other noble lords carried no more than a few pounds of hard leather armor, iron armor, or slightly heavier light chain mail, and the weight of the whole body did not exceed twenty-five kilograms at most, which was incomparable with the infantry of Dengrenburg.

Of course, the Delenburg infantry was far superior to the other armies, and there was no doubt that they were called heavy infantry compared to other armies.

Not to mention the heavy infantry, who were better equipped than the Denglenburg infantry, and the weight of the whole body even reached a terrifying fifty-five kilograms.

Carrying this weight, combined with the hem of their armor, the skirt part, is also very obstructive after climbing the ladder, and the skirt armor extending to the calf part will seriously hinder the lifting of their thighs, so they appear to be slow when climbing the ladder.

Soon, however, the superiority of their armor became apparent, and they boarded the planks of the well as they walked towards the wall, while the archers at either end of the wall poured arrows at them desperately.

If it were an ordinary soldier, at such a distance, it would definitely be ruined and become a sieve.

But in them, this did not happen, the arrows were extremely penetrating at a distance of more than 30 meters, but even so, the arrows only jumped out of the heavy infantry, and then made a ping-pong sound and were bounced away, and fell weakly on the ground or on the wooden board.

In this way, under the fire of arrows, the heavy infantry rushed to the city wall in a steady stream.

A soldier from the Principality of Mainek couldn't help but feel a little terrified when he looked at the tall, well-armoured enemy in front of him.

But the sense of responsibility that his boss usually instilled in them told him that at this time he had to stick to his position and not hold back at all.

In this way, the soldier sent his spear out with all his might, but he was immediately surprised that his spear had stabbed the enemy in the chest so easily, without dodging it.

He didn't expect this attack to hit, because he had enough strength, so he was slow to charge and very easy to detect and dodge.

But to his surprise, he actually stabbed the other party.

But soon he understood why, because the feeling coming from the spear was obviously wrong, and the hard feeling was like a stab on steel.

Yes, he did stab his spear into the heavy and sturdy armor of the hoplites, only slightly piercing the surface of the armor, and the scales and double chain mail inside did no damage at all.

In the next second, his consciousness was blurred, and only a patch of blood red was spreading in front of him, and then there was endless darkness until he lost consciousness.

The heavy infantry raised his big foot and kicked away the two halves of his mutilated body in front of him, and the miscellaneous fish did not know that he had gone to great lengths to avoid the attack.

He had already noticed the soldier's attack on him just now, but he just didn't dodge, anyway, it was impossible for that level of attack to pierce his armor.

Except for heavy battle axes, knight lance strikes, and horse charges, or powerful blunt strikes, they are basically no danger on the battlefield.

If he had to dodge even an attack like that earlier, then he didn't know how much physical strength he would have to consume.

After killing this enemy, he cooperated with his comrades to continue the terrifying killing on the city wall, advancing step by step, and every step down was forged by the blood of a dozen or even dozens of enemy soldiers.

But no matter how loud the screams and wails of the soldiers were, they could not arouse the slightest sympathy from the heavy infantry, who were like the most ferocious devils in hell, reaping their lives under the cold armor of their armor.

Finally, under the frenzied killing of the heavy infantry, the enemy began to be unbearable, and they let out abnormal screams, threw down their weapons, and turned to flee.

The Duke of Maineke looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but start to panic, and said to the general beside him: "Quick! Get all the Berserk Guards on top, all the Berserk Guards! ”

His order was given, and all the one hundred and twenty berserk guards that the entire Duchy of Mainek could muster came to the city walls.

Originally, they were only used as reserves, but now, faced with the strong blows of the heavy infantry, they also had to go up.

The Berserk Guards have condensed all the hard work of the Principality of Maineke, so their equipment is also very sophisticated, even better than that of the Dellenburg Infantry Gate.

The one hundred and twenty men marched towards the city wall with heavy steps and weapons in their hands.

Their combat effectiveness was indeed not to be underestimated, and as soon as they entered the field, the already collapsed city walls began to stabilize the front.

The more than forty Golden Lion Guards trained by William were also at the forefront, fighting enemies who had received similar training to them.

Banstesk stood at the front of the ranks, and as the commander of the heavy infantry, he led the soldiers to fight the city walls.

Looking at these familiar berserk guards in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vicissitudes of life, he had lived here before.

Although he remembered it, he knew the importance of it, and he didn't have so much time to be nostalgic on the battlefield, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately came back to his senses, and the battle axe in his hand waved again, fighting the enemy.

The Golden Lion Guards are not as numerous as the Berserk Guards, and the heavy infantry cannot match the enemy's strength and reflexes in addition to their armor.

Therefore, the situation on the city walls was actually reversed, and the heavy infantry began to retreat somewhat.

The Duke of Maineke looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and proudly said to the vassals around him: "Look! Sure enough, it's up to our brave berserk guards! They are the decisive force on the battlefield! ”

Obviously, he was very satisfied with the fighting power of the Berserk Guard.
