Chapter 42 Three Soldiers Descend on the City

"How is this possible?! How many barbarians are there? It can wipe out all our troops and capture eight towns at the same time! Bodeka snapped out. It was really an unprecedented gaffe for him, who was usually gentle and elegant, which also surprised the officials who performed the incident.

"This situation is not very certain, it is reported that there are more than a thousand barbarians attacking the towns, and it is reported in every town, and according to the preparedness of these towns, it is impossible for them to withstand an attack of more than a thousand people."

"Nonsense! Nonsense, nonsense, where did the barbarians come from, eight thousand" Bodeka paced back and forth in the room, his hands kept rubbing each other: "If, if the barbarians really have eight thousand people, then their next step may be"

"Attack Epsommiton City!" The official spoke the second half of the sentence for Bodeka that he did not dare to say.

As if struck by these words, Bodeka suddenly came to his senses and immediately asked, "How many garrisons are there in the city?" ”

"About five hundred."

"No, no, no, no, call back all the troops who are escorting the food! How many! ”

Looking at Bodeka's completely distorted face, the official had no choice but to reply: "There are 2,100 troops on the road at present, but if these troops are detained, then the grain transportation on the front line may be limited."

"What a front! This is the front line! If the city of Epsommiton is lost, it will not be this grain that will be lost at the front! Bodecka almost shouted: "Go! Organize all the hot you can hold a weapon! Folk husbands, slaves. Servants of the nobility, anyone can do it! Distribute weapons to them. Let them go up to the walls to defend! Also, immediately contact the Yaki Army who is rushing here. Let's just say that the situation is urgent and needs support! Just go! ”

"Yes!" The officer received the order and immediately ran outside the house, only to collide with another official who had just entered.

The daredevil, who rushed in, said in a trembling voice, "My lord, the barbarians, the barbarians are here!" ”

Bodka felt nothing but darkness in front of him, and he barely fainted. He never expected the barbarians to reach Epsommiton so quickly. However, when the time came, Bodeka was not as flustered as before, and he hurried to the city wall, calming the terrified soldiers with a steady pace and a steady attitude, although the cold sweat had soaked his clothes.

Soon. Bodecka noticed that something was wrong. The barbarians did not have cavalry at all, because life in the barbarian area was difficult, and it was impossible to feed horses anymore. But at present, this barbarian army is an out-and-out pure cavalry, and the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry are completely different from the infantry. No wonder they were able to storm Epsommiton in such a short period of time, but it was all incredible.

At this time, a centurion suggested that the number of cavalry at the moment was not large, no more than two hundred, if he could take the initiative to disperse it at this time. You can buy some time to prepare. Bodelka felt justified and agreed to his suggestion.

Within ten minutes, Bodka regretted his decision. The result of this centurion leading 300 men to attack was like an egg on a stone, and the attack power of this cavalry on the other side was simply incredible. Especially a black giant who took the lead. Although the Nubian arrived on horseback, he had the feeling of riding a sheep, because the horse was much smaller under his crotch. And when he arrived, he jumped off his horse and fought. He used his tomahawk to knock down the Yagi soldiers one by one like chopping melons and vegetables, and finally the centurion was reduced to pieces of meat under the giant's tomahawk. In less than ten minutes, the force of three hundred men was slaughtered to the point that only a few wounded soldiers were lying on the ground. When the sound of the Nubian giant stirring the centurion's intestines with his tomahawk and the wails of the Yaki soldiers on the ground reached the city, the morale of the soldiers in the city was also extremely low.

The thought of "Monster" Bodeka rose in his heart. But at the same time, one thing he was more sure of was that these people were definitely not barbarians! They have neat armor and banners, and their tactics are measured, and they are obviously well-trained troops.

While Bodeka was hesitating, the Nubian giant beneath the city suddenly shouted, "I'm Agobar!" We are the Army of Dils! You open the city and surrender, don't kill! If you resist, I'll tear out your intestines one by one! ”

Agobar's voice was loud, like a thunderbolt that blasted into everyone's hearts, how could a garrison force that was not in battle in peacetime withstand such a barbaric and bloody combat method as his? The fear on the faces of the soldiers clearly told the outcome of the Bodeka War.

But Bodeka could not back down, after all, he was the king's appointed governor, and for the sake of honor, he probably had to choose to die in battle. So he stood up, trembling in a voice trying to say something, to delay the time, so that the army carrying the grain and grass would have time to arrive. But at this moment, a large cloud of smoke and dust appeared again in the distance, and judging from this scale, there were at least more than three thousand cavalry. Bodeka's eyes were about to fall out, if there were still three thousand such a wolf-like army, then even if the army with grain was transferred, it would probably be useless.

"The thieves under the city listen to me as Bodeka, the administrator of Epsommiton, and if you want this official to agree to surrender, then let's talk about the conditions of surrender first."

Bodelka felt that he was simply embarrassed to go home, this line was loud enough, but he read it stumblingly, and there was no momentum at all, which really did not look like a negotiation result, and it was only afraid that it would have the opposite effect on morale.

At this moment, the cavalry army was already approaching, and suddenly something flew out of the cavalry array, followed by a strong wind, and Bodeka reflexively shrank his neck, only to feel a chill on his head. At the touch of it, his hat is gone!

When I looked back, my hat had been taken away by the arrow shot by the other party and stuck directly into the wall behind me, and the most surprising thing was that the arrow actually pierced most of the wall! What a powerful bow this is?! That cavalry is still out of range of the bow and arrow!

By the time Bodecka came to his senses and looked down at the city, the cavalry had already arrived at the city, and the leader was looking at him with a bow in his hand. The man's left eye was black, his right eye was dark blue, and he had three scars from his forehead to the right side of his face. I heard the man shout, "Lord Bodeka, is it?" Offended just now! Below is Li Tianhao, the lord of Dils in the country of Palchi! I'm here to get you to Epsommiton City! If you don't, then I won't be aiming my next shot at your hat, think about it, my lord. ”

Bodelka felt a cool breath go down his spine and down his neck: this man's smile was even more terrifying than that savage Nubian giant! Able to shoot an accurate arrow out of the range of an ordinary bow and arrow, and so strong, if he really wanted his own life, himself

Bodeka barely managed to steady his heartbeat, stood up and said, "If your army can ensure the safety of the lives and property of all the people in the city, this officer is willing to surrender. (To be continued......)
