Chapter 61: The Battle of Italy (9)

But no matter how loud Hans shouted, the instinct to survive occupied everyone's brains, and they all bowed their waists and did not dare to show their heads, eager to shrink themselves into a ball and hide behind their shields, advancing at a speed that was slower than that of a turtle, and they did not dare to step forward.

Who knows that the more this is the case, the easier it is to be shot by the enemy's archers who find the right opportunity, and the terrifying aura permeates everyone's side, neither advancing nor retreating, and the first echelon is on the verge of collapse, and it is impossible to find the north by the enemy's arrows and crossbow arrows.

"This can't be done, at this rate, all the living forces will be consumed on the offensive route, immediately Ming Jin called them back, today's attack will be here first, and then let the craftsmen work hard at night, hurry up to make a few more ballistas, and tomorrow change an echelon to reopen the formation to attack."

I waved my fist angrily, gritted my teeth and spewed out, Vipitano is really a difficult bone to gnaw, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor sent me here to divert the enemy's attention, the strategic significance of this castle is very important to both sides, if I can't fight quickly, not to mention the exhaustion of my lost troops, it is very likely that the enemy's reinforcements will outflank the back road, and when the time comes, the two sides will be wiped out!

We have to think of a new way, now every soldier is a treasure, and we must ensure that the available vitality in our hands will not be wasted, so that we can advance and retreat without losing their distance and calmly.

"No, you can't!"

When I called the herald to give the order to withdraw the troops, Kohler quickly grabbed me and shook my head vigorously to stop Mingjin, trying to use his funny body language to make me give up this plan, but it backfired and made me cry and laugh.

"You can't do this, now the offensive echelon has lost its fighting spirit, once Mingjin, their tense nerves will be broken because they reach the limit, and they are very likely to collapse, and if the rout soldiers who fled back can't be retracted, they will break down the army's position, and it will be really difficult to collect it at that time, at this moment, the victory and defeat are hanging by a thread, and we must have the determination to die, and go up hard."

"I understand what you say, and the simple explanation is that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, but then what? Just watching them like sand in their hands, being consumed little by little? We only have the family of 2,000 people, and if we die a soldier, we will lose a main force to cut people, and we will lose a glimmer of hope of getting out of the battlefield alive. ”

I didn't expect that the castle, which was only guarded by 1,500 people, would collapse my teeth and mouth if I wanted to eat it, and it was a bit indiscriminate.

Kohler removed his bow and arrows from his saddle, tightened his bowstring, frowned at the besieging troops cowering together, scratched his long black hair, his dandruff fell like snow, and his expression was serious and tangled like a dead mother's reminder:

"Let's go up the second echelon, both sides are holding back a lot of strength, whoever grits his teeth and persists will win, although I don't know where the heavy infantry and cavalry were assigned by you, but if there is heavy infantry at this time, the attack should not be as deadlock as it is now, I will go to the front for a while, and see if I can focus on sniping a few enemy archers and share the pressure of the attacking troops. Although I am only a hunter, fighting is the same thing as hunting, and it is important to work hard, and if I can't resist the rout, it will be even more difficult to muster the courage to regain the situation. ”

After saying that, he clamped the horse's belly, took out his bow and arrows in his hand, and galloped away to the battlefield, I didn't even have time to say a word of encouragement to take care, what a man like the wind.

At this time, the first siege echelon has completely lost its offensive formation, everyone only thinks about protecting themselves, three or three of them are fighting separately, stunned me to arrange a solid city brick into tofu slag, lost the tactical value of threatening the castle, the rebels on the city wall regained their composure, not caring about the flying over their heads one after another burning projectiles, still calm and relaxed like shooting training, patiently harvesting the lives of the stunned enemies under the city, as if facing not a fierce invader, but a stupid wild duck, Drawing the bow and drawing the arrow is very busy.

Just when I was at a loss, an exclamation came from the direction of the battlefield, and five or six of the rebel archers who were still showing off their might on the city wall just now fell from their arrows, and all of them were killed directly by one arrow.

Kohler stood on horseback, staring at the enemy hiding behind the battlements with his eyes like torches, with three feather arrows between his fingers, and the whole person froze there, the battlefield was instantly quiet, everyone looked at Kohler and the arrows in his hands, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp, for fear that he would make too much movement and become the next target of the archers.

"It's a god-level bug!"

I sighed with a sigh, and I couldn't help but be glad that I had Kohler in my account earlier, otherwise I might be like a broken kite now, and it would be me who was miserable.

Hundreds of steps wear Yang as his name, and the combat value is bursting, which can be called a life harvester in clothes!

"Don't just look at it, while the enemy was shocked by Kohler alone and didn't have time to react, the second echelon hurriedly pressed up, pushed the first echelon forward, and told Hans that if he couldn't go under the city wall this time, tell him to take his head and soak it in the pot of urine at night and come back, the ballista will continue to shoot, don't hide the tucked pick and search, and shoot out all the projectiles prepared, and the rebels will be scared to death if they can't burn them!"

I pulled out my long sword, and rode on the horse with great vigor to gesture left and right, and suddenly I had a bit of the style of a commanding general, if there was a big cloak dancing in the wind, not to mention how handsome!

The soldiers of the second echelon screamed to cheer themselves up, while firing crossbow arrows aimlessly at the head of the city, while advancing rapidly with the large army against the arrows falling from the city sporadically, and soon mixed with the first echelon, the scene of more than a thousand people charging was spectacular, and the heavy metal texture of the sonorous roar of cold weapons filled my messy senses, lingering and echoing in my empty body.

"This scene is much more interesting than a 3D movie, and American blockbusters can't make such a formation, I knew it would be so easy, I let the whole army press it at the beginning, and I wouldn't have lost so many soldiers now."

Watching the smooth rollout of the Qianxian company under the castle, I thought proudly in my heart.
