Chapter 111: Night Attack on Kosol
The effect of psychological warfare was immediate, and the day was just dawning, according to the spies of Kosol City, a large number of people had already packed up their belongings and were ready to leave Kosol to take refuge, and the Hall family killed many civilians who wanted to flee in a fit of rage and ordered the knights to close the city gate and not let anyone enter or leave.
This finally annoyed the people of the city of Kosol, they have been oppressed by the Hall family all the year round, especially the patriarch of the Hall family, the Marquis of Hall, is obviously over seventy years old, but he has taken the young women in the city, so far there have been thirteen concubines, but none of the women can live for a year after the entry; 。
However, the Hall family has been able to run rampant in Kosol City for so long, and his own family's background is naturally not weak, he has a private army composed of more than 2,000 knights, plus countless servants, and now all of them have become the main force to suppress the riot.
The heavily armed knights went to deal with the civilians armed with sticks, and the result can be imagined, the civilians suffered heavy casualties, the riot was quickly quelled, and the Marquis of Hall ordered to be exterminated, and any civilians who participated in the riot could not survive!
For a whole day, the city of Corsol was filled with the smell of blood, and the tyrannical knights rode on tall horses to commit atrocities in the streets, countless civilians were killed, and many more women were captured under the name of witches, in fact, it was the Marquis of Hall who promised them to gather the women, and after he had selected, the remaining women were all rewarded to them.
For a time, the whole city of Kosol cried and screamed, everyone was in danger, and no one dared to take the lead in rebellion, because the last one had already been skinned and burned at the stake.
On the same day as the riots in Kosol, Rafah's army of more than 400 men finally set out from the town and prepared to attack Kosol at night.
Although in terms of numbers, more than 400 people have to deal with more than 2,000 knights, which is really a bit disproportionate, but if you compare the combat strength, three or four strong men may not be able to get close to a knight of Icefield City with a gun, and besides, the Icefield City army has other hot weapons, and they can be used as ten at any time.
The Icefield, loaded with artillery and ammunition, was one step ahead, and the lightly armed knights were on foot, having already agreed on a meeting place in advance, on the wasteland outside the city of Kosol.
The atrocities in the city of Kosol continued, and the witches on the boat had just approached Kosol when they could see the fire in the city and the screams of the women.
At night, the lightly armed infantry arrived belatedly, unloaded all their heavy weapons from the ship and began to prepare positions on the spot.
However, to everyone's expectations, there were very few defenders on the city of Kosol at this time, and it seemed that most of the knights had gone to "hunt witches", after all, the woman rewarded by the Marquis, don't be in vain, even if you take it home as an animal, it is worth it, so at this time there are only a very few people in the city, and Rafa and his party have been tinkering outside for a long time, and they only blow the horn like waking up from a dream.
Rafa was not in a hurry, and asked the knights to be on standby, but not to open fire, he wanted to attract most of the enemy's forces and destroy them in one fell swoop.
"Icefield City is coming?" was woken up just after hugging the concubine to sleep, Marquis Hall was a little displeased, "Do you see clearly? Is it really from Icefield City?"
Knight Sovo glanced at the pretty concubine behind the Marquis and replied, "You can't be wrong, they wear the Flame Rose Flag, which is the symbol of Icefield City. ”
"Oh, I'm not going to trouble them, but they're going to trouble me?" the marquis's face wrinkled like dead bark laughed, "How many of them came?"
"Almost...... Five hundred. ”
"Five hundred people, and you still want to trouble me in the city of Corsol? Stupid Rafa really lives up to his reputation," the Marquis of Hall dressed under the service of his concubine, "and this is good, and it can be regarded as avenging Jiani,
And this is his own death, kill him, and the royal family will not blame us. ”
"Uncle, I have asked the knights to assemble at the head of the city. ”
"Hehehe, good job," Marquis Hall laughed more strangely than crying, "I heard that Rafa's wife is beautiful, have you seen it?"
"Uh-huh-" Sovo was a little depressed, he thought that the good thing he had discovered alone had been thought of by this old man, "Ahem, I have seen it, and...... She's right under the city. ”
"Oh, let's go. ”
Sowo couldn't believe that this old man, who usually didn't speak well, could still walk with the wind.
The Marquis of Hall panted and climbed to the top of the city, busily picking up the binoculars produced by Icefield City and looking into the distance, his cloudy eyes wide open, desperately looking for something.
"Found it!" Marquis Hall exclaimed excitedly, drawing a sideways glance from those around him.
From the lenses, you can see that under the dancing torches, a man and a woman are talking, and he consciously ignores the handsome man, staring at the woman who is like an angel in the night with wide eyes.
"It's so beautiful!"
Count Hall's fingers trembled slightly with excitement, and he ordered Sovo, "Order the knights to line up and open the door to fight......!" Capture the Rafah couple alive. ”
"What!?uncle...... Open the door to the battle...... That's too dangerous. Sovo felt that the old man had lost his mind.
"Hmph, two thousand knights can't deal with just five hundred people, and all the money I spent on you was wasted?"
"But... They have powerful firearms...... "Sovo hesitated.
Hall really couldn't stop spying on that indifferent and transcendent face, holding the binoculars and continuing, "Sovo, after your father died, I treated you as if you were my own son, and now that Jiani is also dead, the position of the Marquis in the future ......"
"Yes, uncle!" Thinking that he would be able to replace the old man as the Marquis of Hall in the future, Sovo immediately relented and began to assemble the knights.
Rafa was well aware of every move in the city of Kosol and the ugliness of the Marquis of Hall, but he was not in a hurry, he just ordered the artillerymen to level the muzzle of the gun, facing the gate of the city, and he himself picked up a howitzer and aimed the muzzle at the head of the city, Count Hall.
"Fili, don't come here. Rafa was afraid that as soon as Felicille moved, the old fellow would follow, so he let Felicille stand where he was.
However, Philicille did not follow his advice, but came to his side, fine-tuned the muzzle of the gun, and then pulled up the detonating line, saying, "Let me do this one." ”
"It's better to be angry with him directly. Rafa smiled slightly, leaned close to Felicille, took her hand, and sniffed at her.
"This bastard!"
Sure enough, when Earl Hall at the head of the city saw the two of them talking to me and me, he immediately got up in a hurry and said to his entourage, "Let Sovo hurry up!"
"Stop, he's not the only one watching us. Felihill's face flushed slightly.
"Ahem...... Oh. Rafa grimaced.
Finally, with the sound of noisy horses' hooves in the city, the steel and wood gates of Kosol City finally slowly opened, and the cavalry rushed out with a dense roar, and Kosol City, like Icefield City, did not have a moat, so the cavalry charge was fast.
On the main road, seven artillery pieces were lined up, and the swarthy muzzles of the guns were aimed at the cavalry rushing straight on the main road.
"Listen to my cannon before you fire!" shouted Rafa.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an immediate strong sound on the ground
The tremors and the sky-high firelight, the human corpses and horse corpses were crumpled together by the powerful impact, and they could no longer be separated, flesh and earth were scattered, stumps and broken arms were splashed, and for a time, the long cavalry was all shrouded in dust and mist.
As soon as the mine sounded, he took Felihill's hand and pulled the detonator cord together.
Poor Marquis Hall was still gazing at that beautiful face, and the next moment, he saw a flash of fire through the telescope, and when he just reacted, the fire was already in front of him.
The cannonball sliced off the entire upper body of the Marquis of Hall without hindrance, until it exploded when it hit the wall tiles behind him, completely shattering him to pieces and leaving him with no bones left.
With the sound of Rafa's cannon, the rest of the cannons also began to roar, and the three new witches finally saw the power that could surpass the witch, and also understood why Rafa was so sure to occupy the city of Kosol.
The spiky cannonball was violently pushed out by the gunpowder burning at the bottom, and after passing through many horses and knights in the air, it exploded again, and a single cannonball took the lives of many knights.
However, the artillerymen did not count how many people died, because they knew that if they did not fire the artillery, they would be the ones who died.
The screams of the cavalry and the neighing of the horses were extremely harsh, and it was a massacre without suspense, and not even a knight could get close to the position within fifty meters, and even if the occasional fish slipped through the net, they would be immediately killed by the infantry behind them with guns or grenades.
The cannon roared outside the city, and the people at the head of the city were frightened, and their lords had been torn apart, so why should they continue to work hard?
For a time many knights were in a hurry to flee from the city.
However, the cannonballs whistling overhead blocked their way out, and after several test firings and fine-tuning, Rafaqin's mortar gunners were able to accurately land on the top of the city, blowing up the knights on it.
Seeing that the enemy's weapons were so fierce, the knights behind who were not injured were panicked, and hurriedly turned their horses and retreated towards the city.
"The artillery team ceasefire, the rest of you, rush with me!" Rafa fired another shot at the gate that was about to close, and immediately turned the strong-looking gate into a pile of rags, and the people behind it were torn apart.
He drew his sword, and led the way through countless corpses, and rushed towards the city of Kosol, and the knights behind him, who had long been impatient, followed with their guns, especially two large Czech-style men with magazines strapped all over their bodies, and charged fiercely while firing the fallen knights into a sieve, and they wanted to enter the city before Rafa to escort him.
However, they all thought too much, and as soon as they entered the city, there was no trace of the cavalry except for the corpses that had been covered by the shells, but it could be seen from the blood on the ground that they had fled along the street.
"Kyle! Take someone to the square to save people, lest the Hall family jump over the wall and kill them all. ”
"Yes!"
Although there was no sign of the cavalry, there were quite a few soldiers scurrying around, and most of them shouted in horror that the Devil's Legion was coming.
Rafa really didn't want to kill these guys, so he could only gather them together and take them back to Icefield City as captives to farm or mine.
The Marquis of Hall is dead, coupled with the defeat of the cavalry, the knights of Icefield City have not encountered any decent resistance after entering the city, and they easily occupied the City Lord's Mansion of the Hall family, which is full of goods that merchants want to transport to Icefield City in the past few days.
Rafa was relieved to find the black tea for Felihill from the mountain of goods.
At this point, Kosol City officially became a vassal of Icefield City. 2k reading web
