Section 123 Dragon City's counterattack is blood-stained
Prince Railton is very efficient, and he firmly believes that only by carrying out this raid battle to the end can he finally usher in a complete victory. He did not heed Caldis's persuasion, and still brought the two legions of Carter and Spartt to the royal capital, and when the two legions had just set off, Reilton could not wait to take the first legion west to Yuguan.
Yuguan Fortress is located on the west side of the royal capital, not only the only way to enter Luo Khan's territory, but also the only place on the west side of the continent trade routes. If the Knight can successfully capture the Yuguan Fortress, and then use the Yuguan Fortress as a fortress to defend it, then they can completely cut off the supply line of the Tubis people, and let the entire Tobis Crusade Army fall into a desperate situation surrounded on all sides.
Prince Relton's plan was almost seamless, and the offensive operations of the last few days caught Warkas off guard, so that he finally had to abandon the royal capital and retreat to the territory of Victoria.
At the moment, Prince Railton has no interest in attacking the territory of Widun, and he is focusing all his attention on the battle against the fortress of Yuguan. Not only that, but he doesn't particularly trust Carter and Spartt, but he has absolute trust in Caldis. He had witnessed many miracles in Caldis and felt that he could only rely on Caldis to be safest. Knowing how to make good use of people, making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses is the creed that Railton adheres to when looking for talents in government.
However, when Caldis rushed to the fortress with his own knights, the gates of the fortress had already been closed, as if he was waiting for the arrival of Kneth's army.
Prince Railton couldn't wait to urge Caldis to attack, and he did not hesitate to let many knights die tragically under the rain of arrows on the other side, and he also wanted the army to capture Yuguan Fortress desperately.
The war was fought from morning to night, and continued from night to morning, and the tired army was still attacking, and this war of attrition was extremely unfavorable for the Knight army in the afterlife.
When half of the Knights of Caldis were lost, Prince Railton was so anxious that he ordered Montpot to send a brigade of knights to replenish the Knights of Caldis, so that Caldis could lead the army to continue the attack on the fortress.
This tactic was not what Caldis expected, but he did not dare to disobey the orders of Prince Relton, who seemed to be red-eyed at this point, believing that the barbarians stationed in the fortress had reached their limit, and that a few more rounds of attacks would open the city and surrender. In fact, the Tubisi people in the fortress became more and more courageous, and they had no intention of giving up resistance.
It was the first time that Knight's army had encountered such stubborn resistance since Dragon City launched a counterattack, and victory seemed to be only one step away, but the strong fortress was still in the hands of the Tubis people, and the Tubis archers on the walls were not much reduced.
Prince Railton gave Caldis a death order, telling Caldis to seize the fortress at all costs, even if only the last man remained, the battle could not be abandoned halfway.
Watching the knights die in rows at the arrows of the Tubis, Caldis was very angry, he was angry that the prince was too anxious, and he was angry that the barbarians defending the city were very stubborn.
On the third day of the battle, Anne sent countless huge catapults from the east side, which were the first supplies from Dragon City.
After seeing these tall catapults, Caldis smiled on his face, such things are suitable for siege cities, rather than blindly charging to death, and he has some confidence in capturing Yuguan.
The battle at Yuguan Fortress continued, with dozens of tall catapults neatly placed in front of the Knight army, and boulders and fireballs were thrown into the fortress city one after another. Suddenly, the fortress became a sea of fire, and the screams and screams continued. This is a contest of life and death, either you die or I die, and both sides have poured almost everything into this fortress city.
The Tubis guards on the city wall died one after another, but then batches of guards continued to take their place, and the Tubisi people's garrison army seemed to be inexhaustible, going forward to sacrifice their lives for the empire.
There was no such thing as mercy on the battlefield, and when the blood stained the waters of the Cinnette River under the city walls, Caldis suddenly had a good idea.
Soon Caldis assembled a team of elite knights, and he had all the planks of the carriage put together, and the knights dismounted and held them in their hands, forming a human wall made of planks. In the roar of the catapults, Caldis held the planks high and led the knights closer to the walls.
The arrows whizzed past them, but to no avail, they were all set on the wooden planks held outside. When the Knight party reached the foot of the city walls, barrels of fuel were dumped and the fire scorched the planks.
But it was still useless, for the knights entered the Signet River under the corner, and the water flowed into the water-opening arch of the wall. The river came from the west, and it was impossible for the Tubisi people to block the river, otherwise it would fill the fortress, so if the river went under the city wall, it could enter the fortress smoothly.
Caldis reached out of the water-opening arch against the burning planks and was the first to storm into the city. But he was greeted by a myriad of arrows and throwing spears, and when Caldis was accidentally shot in the left arm by an arrow, the knight behind him hurriedly followed with a plank and put it back together.
With the help of the knights, Caldis reached out and pulled out the arrow from his left arm, and the wound was simply tied with a strip of cloth, and then Caldis directly led the attack.
The number of knights who entered the fortress was not large, but the barbarians had already prepared their defenses here, and more than a thousand Tubis infantry were waiting for them.
Caldis waved away the plank in his hand and leaped into the enemy with his spear, stabbing left and right to fight. There didn't seem to be a strong commander in the fortress, and the Tubis fell in a pool of blood in front of Caldis, and the Knight team kept attacking beyond the city gates.
They pushed forward step by step, and every meter they got closer to the city gate gave them more hope of victory. The infantry seemed to have a hard time stopping the Knight knights' on-foot attack, and the spears were too far for the infantry to handle. At the behest of their commanders, the Tubith archers on the walls of the city ignored the enemy and fired indiscriminately at the ground below, killing their own infantry and Knight knights alongside.
The ferocity of the Tubis was beyond anyone's imagination, and they did not expect to kill even their own people, but this did not stop the knights from advancing.
Although the number of knights behind Caldis was getting smaller and smaller, and although the Tubis people in front of the city gate were gathering more and more, Caldis still led the remaining knights of Knight to the city gate step by step, so anxious that the Tubis commander on the city wall was anxious.
Caldis was still at the front, and when he saw that the city gate was in front of him, Caldis jumped up desperately and flew directly towards the city gate by stepping on the shoulders and bodies of the barbarian soldiers.
No one had ever been seen on the battlefield so desperate, and the arrows shot at him as if nothing had happened, completely unhindered his movements.
Caldis roared and stabbed all the barbarians at the city gate to the ground in the blink of an eye, and then threw the corpses on top of the barbarian army with his spear, so frightened that the barbarians hurriedly retreated and did not dare to move.
At this time, the remaining knights of Knight quickly broke through the defense line, gathered together at the gate of Caldis, and couldn't wait to open the city gate with a bang.
Seeing the gates of the fortress wide open, Robit, who had been waiting outside the city walls, hurriedly ordered the whole army to assault, and he took the lead and led the army of knights to the city gate like a tide.
The fighting began to intensify, and more and more Knight knights entered the fortress and fought with the barbarians who came to support them from the west.
The ensuing battle began to become more and more fierce, and the entire fortress became a battlefield, with the armies of both sides replenishing in a steady stream, and the piled up of corpses made it difficult for the soldiers on both sides to move an inch. However, as the surrounding walls were occupied by the knights of Knights, the balance of war began to tip on the side of the Knights, and the final battle turned into a hunt by the Knights, and the barbarians who rose up in the fortress began to become fewer and fewer.
After four days of bloody fighting, just as Prince Railton had planned, Knight was able to recapture Yuguan with a crushing victory under the command of Caldis.
When the golden knight lion flag fluttered at the top of the city, and the knights of Knight standing at the head of the city began to chant enthusiastically, Prince Railton knew that the war was over, and he excitedly rode his horse into the fortress with his guards.
Caldis was badly wounded all over his body, and he rested against the corner of the wall after losing too much blood, gasping for air in his mouth. When Robit found him, he was so shocked by his tough-guy appearance that he hurriedly picked Caldis on his back and took him to someone for emergency medical treatment.
After the victory, Prince Railton was very excited, and he stood on the parade platform in the fortress and gave a loud speech, venting all the joy and anger in his heart. The knights gathered around him, and one by one they listened enthusiastically, and they all showed their respect and love for the prince.
Robit looked down at Caldis, who was bandaging his wounds, and then turned to look at the prince, who was giving a speech on the high platform.
Mompot looked at Caldis's injury, then wiped the blood on his hands and said, "Hey, this injury is estimated to not be healed in half a year, and this prince is really, he just came to visit the commander-in-chief." ”
Robit gave the prince one last look, then turned to Montpot and said, "We have suffered heavy losses in the capture of Yuguan, and everyone is tired, and the prince must give everyone a morale boost at this time." By the way, Monpot, you can't stay here, our army came to the fortress without anything, everything in the fortress is burned to the ground. You'll need to bring someone to pick up Anne at once, and get the food and forage to the fort as soon as possible. ”
"Okay!" , Mompot immediately packed up his belongings, and said while busy: "The Duke will leave it to you to take care of, and I will set off immediately." ”
Robbie nodded and said, "Go with confidence, be careful on the road!" ”
After Mompot got out of the crack, Tarret, who was standing on the side, asked sadly, "Lord Robit, Lord Duke, there should be no surprise, right?" ”
Robit replied very melancholy: "Hey, I don't know, this blood is still flowing, and people are already unconscious." ”
Tarrett blamed himself bitterly, "It's all my fault, I couldn't keep up with the Duke, otherwise the Duke wouldn't have been so badly injured." ”
Robit reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't blame yourself." It's not your fault, there were so many barbarians at that time, and whoever rushed to the front was like this. Fortunately, the Duke was extremely skilled, and those arrows only hurt some flesh and skin, and were not shot to the point. It's a miracle to survive such a horrific scene, and I hope the Duke can survive this. ”
Tarrett nodded, then he reached out and kicked the barbarian's corpse in front of him, and asked Robitt, "Lord Robit, should we dispose of these corpses?" ”
"Hmm!" Robbie nodded and said, "It's to be dealt with immediately, in case the body decomposes, it will be troublesome." You immediately arrange for people to drag all these corpses outside the city to dig a pit and bury them, remember to bury them deeper, it will not be good if they are bitten by mosquitoes and bring the plague. ”
"Okay!" Tarrett wiped away a handful of tears, and then led the chief of guard behind him to gather the men to get busy.
At night, Robit stood at the west head of the fortress, overlooking the vast land of Luo Khan. After the end of the war in Yuguan, the territory still occupied by the barbarians became silent, and everything was surprisingly quiet. Robit was so vigilant that he decided to patrol the city all night by himself on the first night to prevent barbarian reinforcements from attacking the city.
In the tent inside the fortress, under the faint candlelight, Caldis finally opened his eyes slowly. When he woke up, the first thing he did was ask Tarret, "Is the fortress alright?" ”
Tarrett hurriedly replied, "It's okay, everything is fine." Lord Robit is personally leading the knights to guard the castle on the west side! ”
Caldis asked, "What about the city on the east side?" ”
"The head of the city on the east side? There are also knights patrolling, it's fine. Tarrett then replied, saying that he didn't think it was anything to the east side.
Who knew that Caldis ordered: "Yuguan has been captured with great difficulty, and we must not make any mistakes." In this case, you should go to the head of the city to guard it yourself, and don't be lazy, the prince is still in the fortress. ”
After hearing Caldis's order, Tarrett got up and replied, "Yes, Lord Duke, you should take care of your wounds here first, and I will immediately rush to the east side of the city to take strict precautions." ”
With that, Tarrett saluted, turned and walked out of the tent.
