Section 15 Fight Tuttle again
Originally, he took advantage of the time when Caldis and others attacked Wu Tuo, and laid a net in the northern fortress, vowing to annihilate Caldis in the fortress, but the result made Caldis miraculously defeat into victory.
The loss of the fortress was a great disgrace for Warkass, and it represented the first time that his carefully planned scheme had suffered a great failure. The Northland Fortress was like a sharp thorn in the heart, deeply stabbing Varkas in the heart, and his reputation and prestige were greatly undermined by it.
When Utores returned to the royal capital with the Knights, Warkas eagerly summoned him into the temple to discuss the next steps with him.
The hall was empty, all the guards and servants were dismissed, except for Warkas and Utores sitting on the high platform.
Warkas got up in a hurry, pacing back and forth desperately on the high platform, walking very fast, turning around and making Utorres a little dazzled.
Suddenly, Warkas stopped and yelled at Utores: "What are we going to do now? You're talking. ”
Utorres lowered his head, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and replied: "Your Excellency's guess is right, the ultimate purpose of their seizure of Utuo is for the fortress and the northern kingdom, and this Caldis is really not simple. ”
Varkas said indignantly: "Caldis, Caldis, isn't he just a person, how can even Heller and a knight order not deal with him." ”
Utores replied: "Caldis is a fortress that entered with a thousand slaves and pretended to deliver supplies. Those slaves have always hated our Imperial knights, so these people's will to fight is very high. ”
Warkas rolled his eyes in anger, then he walked briskly down the steps to Utores, and pointed at him and said, "Didn't I tell Heller not to be vigilant, how could he be unaware of these slaves?" ”
Utorres frowned and replied: "This can't be blamed on Lord Heller, Lord Heller did take precautions, the battle started immediately after the group of slaves entered the fortress, and they were not defeated because of a sneak attack." ”
"Huh!" , Vacas sneered and said: "What do you want me to say, there is a knight order on the defensive, and there are 500 archers and 500 infantry to help, and they have long been prepared. But as a result, just like that, he Heller will also lose, don't blame him, do you blame me? Didn't send him more Knights to help? ”。
Utores shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, the prince's arrangement is indeed very thoughtful, it's just ......"
Before Utores could finish speaking, Varkas continued to reprimand: "Not a single knight can deal with Caldis and his thousand slaves, if the war is fought like this, who else can our crusade legion win?" It's better to withdraw to the empire as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed here. ”
Utorres said anxiously: "Oh, my lord, no matter how much you discuss this past, it will not help, so don't talk about it anymore." ”
Varkas looked at Utores in a daze, rarely hearing him say this about himself, so Varkas frowned and asked, "What?" Heller is so unusable, I can't say it? ”
Utorres shook his head again and again and replied, "That's not what I meant, please calm down, Your Majesty." Now that Knight is overhauling the fortress at the Tattle Pass, the people brought by Caldis have begun to move to the north. If we remain indifferent to arguing here and let them develop quickly, we will be in big trouble in the future when they repair the fortress of Tuttle. ”
Vacas raised his head and sighed deeply, he said with great sorrow: "What a Caldis, I thought that after he was expelled from Dragon City, we would have one less threat from now on. I didn't expect this guy to be very insidious, and he actually took Wu Tuo and Beiguo under our noses. These two territories are terrible, and if they are really developed by him in the future, their threat will not be lower than that of the gang in Dragon City. ”
Utores nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Prince, so we must immediately raise troops to attack the territory of Wu Tuo, and do our best to take Wu Tuo before they have gained a firm foothold and repaired the fortress, so that we can completely cut off the supply of horses to their northern country." ”
Warkas nodded again and again and said: "Well, if you can't take the northern fortress, it's okay to cut off the source of their horses, anyway, they won't be able to establish a knight order in the future, and it will be useless to go to the northern country." In this way, this time, you will personally lead the two knights of the royal capital into battle, and then draw two knights from Cobilon and Yale. Let me take four knights to attack Wu Tuo, this should be no problem, right? ”
Utores replied confidently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, there are enough knights, if I can't get Wu Tuo this time, I will bring my head to you." ”
Warkas shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, don't move and don't be headed." You remember for me, no matter how you win or lose, you still can't duel with them this time, these young people are hiding too deeply, I don't want you to make any mistakes, there are more big things waiting for you to help me in the future. ”
After hearing this, Utores said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Excellency, then I will go and prepare now." ”
After saying that, Utores saluted goodbye, turned around and hurriedly left the main hall.
At the foot of the mountain on the northeast side of the town of Tuttle, Robit followed closely behind the famous Qin craftsman Bute, and the two walked forward quickly.
As he walked, Bout described: "Time was too short, and after receiving instructions from Master Miller, I led men to work day and night, and it was only then that ten large catapults were built. I heard that the barbarians were about to attack again, so I was in a hurry, so I had to ask Captain Robit to check on him to see if the catapults could meet the needs. ”
"Hmm." Robit replied eagerly: "Ten is definitely not enough, you should hurry up and build more catapults, if you are short of manpower, you can tell me, and I will arrange it for you immediately." ”
Bu Ting continued: "I don't need to use human hands for the time being, I really don't have to learn how to make this thing in three days." Ten more catapults are already making wooden frames, which will be ready in three days. ”
Robit laughed and said, "Well, if we can build twenty catapults before the barbarians attack, then we can use them to block them for a while." ”
Bout nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "When you get to Captain Robitt, please check carefully." ”
Robit followed the direction Bout pointed, and he saw ten huge catapults neatly laid out in the clearing, and a group of guards were already waiting in line.
Robit strode over and ordered the guards, "Everyone prepare at once, I want to see the effect and speed of the salvo of ten catapults, please start immediately." ”
"Yes, Captain." After answering, the chief guard immediately signaled to the guards and gave the order to attack.
As the boulder was thrown into the ridge by ten catapults, there was a loud rumbling sound on the cliff, and in a short time a large area of the cliff was shattered, revealing dark brown rock.
Robit was so happy to see that he kept clapping his hands and shouting: "It's amazing, it's really the masterpiece of the magic axe, this power is like a landslide." Wonderful, wonderful, thank you so much, Lord Bout. ”
Seeing Robit so satisfied, Bout finally relaxed his nervous expression, smiled happily and said, "You're welcome, I, Bout, have the honor of being ordered to follow Lord Duke Caldis, and I should do my best, hoping not to disappoint Master Robit." ”
Robit shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Bute, you are humble, such a powerful catapult, can I still be disappointed?" It's too late to be happy. ”
With that, he immediately ordered the guards to stop the attack, and told them to immediately pull the catapult to the Tattle Pass to set up defenses.
On the narrow ground at the mountain pass, the industrious Knight man hurriedly pushed a cart and quickly carried the stones. After countless people worked day and night, the foot of the fortress has been built, and the city wall is now being piled up rapidly, all of which are completely filled with stones, leaving no gaps in it.
The quarry was located on a nearby hill, and Lawrence, with a team of guards, delivered a batch of newly made quarrying equipment to the construction site, which was handed out to the stonemasons on the site in turn. "Everyone," said Lawrence, "I'll send you another batch of useful tools in the afternoon, and I'll make sure you're comfortable with them." ”
One of the guards smiled and said, "Oh, Lord Lawrence is really a god, it was originally the same iron, but under your recasting, it has completely changed, you are really powerful." ”
Croral replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing, don't I just rely on this craft to eat?" With that, Lawrence beckoned to the guards and immediately returned to the town to continue crafting tools.
The people in the town were not idle, Mariara was assembling a team of archers, she carefully checked the arrows piled aside, and repeatedly told everyone: "From this day on, you are no longer ordinary people, but the bow and arrow garrison of my northern fortress. You must know that our army of Knight is very much loved by the people, so if there is a war, all of you must do your best, and do not become deserters like Cologne, otherwise you will be spurned forever. ”
Watching Mariara reprimand the army of archers, Montpot, who was standing on the sidelines, laughed happily.
Then Mompot looked up at the sun overhead, and seeing that it was not early, he opened his mouth and ordered loudly: "Alright, the time is almost up." Everyone listened, turned to the right and started walking. ”
Under the orders of Mompot, this army of archers from the people marched in a neat procession, followed Mompot and his guards slowly out of Tuttle, and rushed to the northern fortress to participate in the garrison of the fortress.
A much larger contingent of bows and arrows was being assembled under the orders of Jombus for the upcoming Battle of Tattle Pass.
Everyone in Wu Tuo does not seem to be idle, they have to do their best to survive, even if the barbarians attack with a nationwide army, they will fight to the death.
Three days later, on the Tattle Pass, to the east of the fortress walls under construction, a huge ravine appeared not far away. On the west side of the ravine, twenty tall catapults were on standby, and countless boulders were piled up behind them. There was a wide passage in the middle of the ravine, and Robit and his knights were stationed in the passage, and more knights were on standby at the back. Jombus led a team of archers, lined up behind the catapults, and behind them countless civilians were carrying arrows.
Not far to the east of the ravine, Utores was leading four Imperial Knights in a neat formation, and the war was a must-win for him.
The Knight were ready to face the battle at the mountain pass, and Utores was also prepared, and a big battle was about to begin.
With a loud rumbling bang, under the continuous attack of the Bout catapult, the Second Battle of Tattle began.
At the beginning of the battle, both sides attacked each other with catapults. However, the catapult brought by Utores has a shorter attack range and much less power, and it is completely unable to generate enough damage. However, Bout's giant catapult is different, with its long attack range and great power, making it completely impossible for the barbarian army to get close. Even the catapults were destroyed by the boulders in turn, so startled that Utores had to hurry back and dodge.
After numerous attempts, Utores sent two brigades of knights to charge head-on, but both were pushed back by the fierce arrows of the Knights. The Knights' attacks were more comprehensive, with catapults attacking from afar, and archers with more than 2,000 lives at close range. Utores has been through a hundred battles, and he has encountered any kind of team, but in the face of this strange army of Tuttle, Utores is at a loss.
The war continued tepidly, and Armageddon never came.
Half a month later, Utores finally received an order for Warkas to retreat. He was very unwilling, but he was powerless, and seemed to feel that the victorious angel had begun to snub the empire, and in the end he had to reluctantly retreat to the royal capital with a large army.
