Chapter 103: Bloody Battle
Although the soldiers who were later replaced had tried their best to stay in place, they inevitably gave up some positions for the enemy, causing more enemies to rush to the city.
William frowned and looked at the fierce battle below, a quarter of the city wall was already occupied by the enemy, and the battle situation was already precarious.
"Order the heavy infantry and the Golden Lion Guards, put on their equipment and immediately climb the city wall, in groups of five, and travel around to support the infantry from all over the world!" William said to the other herald that the previous herald had not returned.
The original weapon of the Golden Lion Guards was a two-handed giant axe, but unfortunately their training was not completed, and it was a little difficult to use that kind of equipment, so they had to temporarily use the same weapons as the heavy infantry.
With heavy steps, the heavy infantry lined up in two rows and began to walk towards the city wall, and Banshtesk also walked on top of the heavy armor, and the height of one meter nine looked more and more terrifying against the background of the heavy armor.
At this time, more than half an hour had passed, and the winter night had arrived very early, and now it was evening, or it would not be long before it would be completely dark.
Tonight will be a bloody sleepless night, and I don't know how many more souls will haunt the city walls, and I don't know how much blood will nourish the already fertile soil.
"Soldiers, you are the heavy infantry I have trained, you are the king of infantry on the battlefield, let those emaciated pigs know what kind of existence we are, now, let us pull out their filthy intestines and stuff them into their foul-smelling mouths!"
As a veteran heavy infantry commander, Banstesk knew how to boost the morale of his soldiers, and the more rude and bloody he was, the more he could stimulate the blood in his body and make them fight hard.
"Oh!"
"Put the intestines in your mouth!"
"Kill those pigs!"
The heavy infantry roared wildly, and the one-handed battle axes in their hands were raised high, shining in the moonlight, like a reminder of the enemy, ready to take their lives at any time.
This group of heavy infantry was originally the best of the Manders infantry, and with the addition of Banstesk such a fierce battle, the fighting spirit suddenly soared, and they saw the enemy as a walking bag of money, and a wealth that could be obtained without much effort.
According to William's orders, Banstesk divided them into small groups of five people, a total of forty people, divided into eight groups, and began to support the various battle circles.
The hoplites were better equipped than the Manders infantry, and their armor was similar to that of the knights, so they didn't need to be on guard against enemy attacks.
Even if the enemy has a blunt weapon in his hand, they can resist a little, but they really can't do it, don't they still have a round shield in their hands, and their confidence is far more than that of the Manders infantry.
Durancan is a member of the Golden Lion Guard who hails from the village of Menders, the village of the estate.
He was an orphan from an early age, stealing food from his neighbors and hunting small animals for a living, until the Baron came to the territory.
The Baron's army was very strong, and after his neighbors reported it, a group of sergeants began to arrest him.
At first, he still relied on his body to resist, but the next second, he was defeated in the proudest place, he crashed into a soldier, that person's body seemed to be steel, usually no one can compare to his collision, today he actually lost, the other party did not move a step, and he took two or three steps back.
In this way, he was arrested, and at that time, the Baron had just established his rule in the Menders region, and it was the first time that the Baron had appeared in the territorial court.
He knew that what he had done over the years was enough to chop off a hand, but the Baron, knowing his situation, spared himself and assigned himself to serve in the army.
Then came the same fate as the other soldiers, and after a few battles, he began to stand out as if he had been in good health before.
A height of nearly 1.8 meters is unthinkable in a serf family, let alone an orphan whose parents are not there.
In this way, Banshtesk picked him at first sight when forming the Heavy Infantry and the Golden Lion Guard, and began a brutal training.
Now, he was facing several enemies with a battle axe, and they looked at his equipment with some hesitation.
After all, it was a year of combat and training, and indecision and indecision could not appear on him, without looking at his teammates around him, he stepped forward, the tomahawk in his hand raised high, and suddenly split an enemy who had no time to dodge in half.
Blood suddenly spurted out of the person's body, and the internal organs also flowed out of the body because of the separation of the body, and the longitudinally separated body was lying on the ground like this, dripping with blood, which looked very terrifying.
Such a ferocious and bloody picture directly made the enemy a little scared, after all, such an enemy looks too visually impactful, with heavy armor, tall stature, and weapons that look heavy, this is simply a humanoid beast.
But after all, they have only experienced the battle, and many times the battlefield is much bloodier than the current scene, and they just didn't react and were shocked.
After a second or two, they recovered from their surprise and launched a counterattack against them, their swords and spears stabbing at them.
But no matter how they attacked, they couldn't break their defenses, and sometimes they would raise their shields to defend, but when they faced less powerful attacks, more often they just let them attack, but they couldn't break their armor.
And the armor on their bodies was like paper paste, which was cut by the battle axes in the hands of the enemy at once, and the huge force even knocked some of the enemies away.
The scene was quite bloody for a while, blood splattered everywhere, and internal organs were also thrown on the ground of the city wall, and the smell of blood became stronger than before, if it was someone who had never been on the battlefield, it was enough to make them vomit.
At this time, the city wall was like hell, with broken arms and human blood everywhere, and viscera and brains all over the stone walls.
The same was true of the rest of the city wall, where the enemy began to retreat when he saw his comrades being killed by the enemy in such a brutal way, while the weapons in his hands could not break the enemy's armor, and the Manders infantry also cooperated with the shrinking line and finally drove the enemy off the wall.
"What's going on? How did they retreat? These idiots! We've lost all our work! "Viscount Lausas watched the situation from below, and the soldiers fled down the city walls, and were even chased and killed by the enemy.
He began to roar angrily, and the castle that he could conquer with a little more effort was driven off the city wall at the moment when he was about to succeed.
He was already about to explode, and shouted to Baron Nair in a low voice, "Go and see what is going on!" ”
