Chapter 416: Forward
The Norwids, oppressed by the fierce onslaught of the jihadist army, were finally on the verge of collapse, and they laid down their weapons and began to flee down the stairs to the walls.
The blood spread all over the walls, causing a layer of bright red ice to congeale on the walls, making them look so slippery that they panicked after escaping, and many of them fell to the walls.
This led to a stampede, and the number of Norwedes who died at the feet of their comrades was uncountable, wailing desperately, hoping that their usual comrades would be able to lift them up.
But at this time, the situation is critical, and it is too late for everyone to die, who will save a comrade-in-arms? At this time, it is obvious that the safety of one's own life is more important.
In this way, the Norwids fled unstoppable, and even if their commanders tried desperately to restrain the troops, they were only useless, completely unable to stop the crumbling Norwid warriors.
The Jihadists, like the Norvidians, slipped and fell from time to time when they walked on the red ice, but their order allowed them to not stampede at all, only to move slowly.
The Denlenburg army was so elite that they leaned on each other and rarely fell to the ground, so they became the blades of the pursuing enemy.
"Hurry, hurry! Retreat to the main fort! Don't let the Loaldians rush in! Hurry up! ”
"You! Don't be sluggish, you damn piglets, the enemy is coming after you! ”
The commander of the enemy stood on the walls of the main fortress and shouted loudly, in addition to the outermost walls of the Nobarev Fortress, there was a main fortress.
The Norweeds had built a castle modeled after the Lourdes, otherwise their fortress was just a wall, with all the low houses used as barracks or to store food.
The current Nobarev Fort has two layers of defense, one on the city wall and one on the main fort, and they are tasked with holding on to the battle, so that the entire Nobarev Fort can hold on for a longer time.
The longer the hold on, the more time can be left for the Norwid people to prepare, and it has to be said that the towering main fort in front of them is indeed another problem.
The Norweeds fled desperately towards the open gates of the main fort, hesitating and disorganized, so they were relatively fast, at least much faster than the array and the Holy War that maintained order.
Therefore, with the exception of the Norwids, who fell on the walls and were trampled to death or killed, all of them escaped to the front of the main fort.
The Norweed rout was scrambling to get into the main fort, and this was their last chance to survive, so it was very crowded.
If it weren't for the other Norwid soldiers to maintain order, they would probably be fighting here.
In this way, many of the remaining Norvids entered the main fort smoothly, but at this time, the Holy War Army, led by the Denlenburg army, had already caught up in a neat array.
"Damn! How could they be so fast? The Norweed commander slammed his fist into the window of the main fort and said to the soldiers: "Close the gates!" Don't let the enemy in! ”
The gate of the main fortress slowly closed, and the gate at the top of the city slowly fell, isolating some of the Norvidians who had not yet entered.
This gate is like a chasm, separating life from death, with life represented inside the gate and death represented outside the gate.
The Norweeds, who had been locked outside and had not yet entered, dodged the falling gate in confusion, but there were still a few unlucky people who were crushed under the gate and turned into mutilated corpses.
The rest of the Norvidians slammed desperately on the closed gate, crying for help from their fathers and mothers, hoping that the defenders inside would open the gates and let them in.
But even so, the defenders of the main fort would not open the gates, after all, the Lordian Holy Army was still watching outside.
"Don't do that, please! Open the door! The Loerdes won't come in because of this! ”
The Norweed people cried outside the gates of the main castle.
The Norwidian people above looked at their companions crying for help below, and the Norwids who stayed outside were undoubtedly the end of death, which made them feel a little sad when they had fought side by side.
But even so, they still didn't have the slightest idea of rescuing, and even had some snickering joy in their hearts, glad that they were not left outside.
There were more than a thousand of these Norwedians outside the castle gates, and only a few entered the main fort, only a few hundred.
Even in the entire main fort, the defenders inside were only about a thousand people.
The Norwedian commander, bearded, kept patrolling the main fort and boosted morale.
"Come on warriors! Let's fight hard! As long as you fight the enemy and die, your soul will definitely ascend to the Temple of the God of War! ”
He walked around, patting the soldier on the shoulder, where he hooked up with the soldier.
At this time, the soldiers were all he relied on, and as a close confidant of King Lagunar of Norweed, he put life and death on the line, hoping that he could rely on the main fort to delay more time for the Norwids to prepare.
The sound of neat footsteps sounded, and the Norvidians below the castle slowly turned their heads, stopping their useless banging on the gates.
They knew that it was impossible to survive today, and instead of being slaughtered by the enemy like this, it was better to engage in a bloody battle with the other party, so that their souls could also ascend to the Temple of the God of War.
They turned, let out a high-pitched roar, and charged at the neatly arrayed Denlenburg infantry at the front.
However, they abandoned their armor and even weapons during their previous escape, and could only attack the Denlenburg army with their bare hands.
As you can imagine, they were slaughtered by the heavy infantry and the Golden Lion Guards at the front without any incident, and the Denlenburg infantry in the back also slaughtered the Norvids with their spears and swords and shields.
More than a thousand people were killed and wounded under the main fort, and their blood even gathered into a small river, which was frozen into blood-red ice crystals by the cold weather after a short flow.
The Norweed commander watched from above the castle with a wide range of eyes, and although he had given the order to close the gates, which almost meant that the outsiders would be put to death, he could not help but feel a pang of heartache and anger when he saw such a scene.
"The great King Lagunar will definitely make you pay!"
He roared wildly in his heart, and even his face was reddened.
Then, the rushing carts from outside the city walls were transported in, and despite the desperate resistance of the enemy, the gate was successfully opened after two days.
The Golden Lion Guards and the Heavy Infantry, as well as the Denlenburg Infantry, showed their fighting power in front of everyone, and as a result, they were in the first sequence of the assault on the main fort.
The Golden Lion Guards were followed by the heavy infantry, and behind the heavy infantry was the Denlenburg infantry, which also included 500 crossbowmen, and William hoped that he would be able to use crossbow arrows to deal with a large number of enemies in the castle, so as not to cause too many casualties.
Sure enough, the Norwids inside the castle, despite fierce resistance, were still unable to resist the attack of the Golden Lion Guards, and the narrow corridor that had been built to obtain good defense became a burden to them at this moment.
Originally, they still had some numerical advantage gone, and at the front of the corridor, which was only one and a half people wide, stood a Golden Lion Guard, and behind him were two Denlenburg infantrymen crowded sideways, holding spears at his side and constantly trying to stab in front of him.
The design of the main castle has left the Norvids in a cocoon, and the situation that originally required team combat has now become a heads-up again, and the Golden Lion Guards at the front are of course invincible in heads-up.
After several substitutions, they managed to inflict a large number of Norweed casualties, and then managed to advance into the halls of the main fort.
In this way, after a fierce battle, Fort Nobarev was finally successfully cleared and all fell into the hands of the Jihadist Army.
