Section 55 The Pomeranian Army (2nd Watch)

The wooden gate of the fortress collapsed under the attack of the Slavic warriors, and they rushed into the fortress under the leadership of the Calvin chieftain, and the frowning brows of Kang Tuoyi who were watching the battle finally relaxed, and the Teutonic knights relied on nothing more than the strange fortress, once the swarming Slavic warriors attacked the fortress, then even if the Teutonic knights in the fortress were all elite, they would be drowned in the siege of the crowd.

"Gods above, what the hell is this?" But Kang Tuoyi was too happy, and the Calvin leader who rushed into the fortress was stunned by the scene in front of them, they saw that they had entered an urn city closed on all sides, of course, the fortress built on the cliff was limited in area, and the urn city that closed the city gate was not large, and it could only accommodate dozens of enemies at a time.

"Calvin chief, look at it." The Slavic warriors cursed at the cunning of the Teutonic knights, when there was a noise from the wooden wall overhead, and the Calvin leader looked up and saw a group of crossbowmen surrounded by crossbowmen overhead, aiming their crossbows directly below.

"Quick, get out." Calvin's chieftain's face changed greatly, he hurriedly shouted at the Slavic warriors around him, and stepped back to withdraw from the trap, but the Slavs who were swarming in the rear did not know what was happening, they just saw the door of the fortress being slammed open, and they all thought about the reward promised by Kang Tuoyi and the loot inside; So the people inside wanted to get out, and the people outside wanted to go in, but they were huddled and couldn't move.

"Launch~~~~." With a command, the crossbowmen on the fortress pulled the trigger, and the crossbow bolts shot at the Slavs huddled together like flying locusts, at this time the crossbowmen did not need to aim at all, they only needed to load the crossbow bolts and shoot them directly, and the dense crowd made the crossbowmen miss their arrows. The whooshing sound of the crossbow bolts and the screams of the Slavs joined in.

"Bracket, bracket, bracket." On the breached gatehouse, the sound of metal grinding sounded, and several craftsmen and apprentices were seen struggling to carry a large iron tong pot, and the sea water in the tong pot was boiling and bubbling. The bottom of the pot made a blinking sound against the wooden wall, and if you looked down from above, you could see that on the inside of the fortress, near the wall, was a roaring bonfire, on which were the hot tongs, and the Teutonic knights had not used the tongs to wait for this moment.

"Puff~~~~, ahhh The craftsmen carried the tongs to the upper door and tipped them over, and the boiling water inside slanted down. The Slavic warriors who were directly covered by the boiling water suddenly opened their skins and flesh, and their mouths let out a terrible howl like that of the depths of hell, and those who were splashed lost their combat effectiveness.

"Oh oh, this can't be, quick, blow the horn of retreat." Kang Tuoyi was stunned to see the soldiers crowded at the gate of the fortress, the skin and flesh of the boiling water poured on him, and he couldn't understand why his soldiers were hesitating at the door. The Germans insidiously killed the Slavic warriors with boiling water in the tongs, but he didn't know that the Teutonic Knights had built the urn at the gate. But instinctively, he felt that he had fallen into a trap, the enemy was too well prepared, and he expected that he would attack the city gates, and the best decision in this case was to retreat and preserve his strength.

"Ah, good opportunity, get out of here." Although the boiling water of the craftsmen at the gatehouse caused heavy casualties to the Slavic warriors outside, it also allowed the elite warriors who were hunted like animals by the crossbowmen inside to withdraw. Calvin leader held his shield and shouted loudly to the remnants of the elite warriors around him, even the experienced Calvin leader had eaten a crossbow arrow on his shoulder, and he endured severe pain and led the survivors to escape with the crossbow arrows flying in his ears, and after escaping from the fortress, he didn't even have the courage to look back, but his nose was filled with the smell of human flesh.

"Woo woo ~ ~~~." The horns of the Slavs retreated like a whimper. The Slavs, who heard this, were pardoned and crawled away from the terrible fortress, while the Teutonic knights once again shouted in triumph, and this time even the proud Slavic nobles fell silent.

While the Teutonic knights were fighting a battle, the Grand Chief of Pomerania, who was preparing to deal with the invasion of Mecklenburg, was riding on his horse, and he looked at the vassals in front of him under his castle, these vassals were loyal subjects of the Grand Chief of Pomerania, and when they received the order to gather, they immediately mobilized the soldiers in their own territory, and then led their soldiers to gather under the banner of the Grand Chief of Pomerania.

"Old fellow Bazel, you're here."

"Haha, Tim, why do you look listless, you old pervert, haven't you recovered from the gentleness of your mother's country?" The Grand Chief of Pomerania wore an iron helmet decorated with mustatskin, and wore a thick leather armor with two layers of inner leather armor, with an iron sheet in the middle, which can be said to be not inferior to chain mail and scale armor, with two shiny copper nails nailed to the shoulders, and a shawl made of grizzly bear skin attached to his back, and the Grand Chief of Pomerania rode past his vassals, calling them by name one by one, and making vulgar jokes, but the vassals laughed and were very proud.

"Our sovereign, what is the matter with you hastily summoning us, is there an enemy attacking us there?" Tim was a middle-aged Pomeranian noble chieftain, he controlled a territory the size of a county, I saw him rub his eyes full of, on the way to the castle of the great chief of Pomerania, when he passed through a village, he fell in love with a rather beautiful shepherdess, so without saying a word, he set up a tent by the side of the road and the shepherdessman fiercely for two days, and then let the poor shepherdessman put on his pants and brought his army to the castle.

"Hey, it's not like someone is attacking us, it's just that we're going to support Kang Tuoyi in Watergast." The Grand Chief of Pomerania touched his beard and said to his vassals.

"Support Kang Tuoyi?" The vassals of the Pomeranian Grand Chief looked at each other, they were very familiar with their monarch, when did the Pomeranian Grand Chief become a good old man who saved people?

"My monarch, don't beat around the bush, has Kang Tuoyi promised you any benefits? Why do you want to save him, he has less than half of the territory he had when his father was alive, what good should we do to save him? Chief Bazel asked the Grand Chief of Pomerania in confusion.

"What you said is not right to my friend, Kang Tuoyi is the child of my old friend, they believe in the same religion and tradition as us, and the Germans are wreaking havoc on the Baltic coast, and we can't ignore this matter." The Grand Chief of Pomerania looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and those who were not familiar with him thought how upright he was, but his vassals laughed contemptuously.

"Come on, Your Excellency the Great Chief, just say it, do you have a crush on Kang Tuoyi's territory, or do you want him to be a vassal of you?" Chief Tim punctured the hypocrisy of the Grand Chief of Pomerania, and he spoke to the Chief bluntly.

"Hey, you guy, although I want Kang Tuoyi to surrender to me, but this guy is very stubborn, and when he suffers enough, he will understand who is the authority in the Baltic Sea." The Grand Chief of Pomerania smiled and said to his vassals that it was very meaningful for the Grand Chief of Pomerania to make Kang Tuoyi submit, because as long as Kang Tuoyi was vassal to him, the Great Chief would have the right to rule over the original Great Emirate of Mecklenburg, which was a big temptation for the Grand Chief to merge the Grand Emirate of Pomerania and the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg into one country.

"I know, well, since we have long been loyal to you, then wherever your banner points, we will lead our troops there." Chief Bazel smiled slightly, gently patted the horse under his crotch with the whip in his hand, and said to Grand Chief Pomerani easily.

"My old man, I knew you could be trusted, but what about you pervert Tim?"

"I don't care, as long as there are beautiful girls in the place where the war is fought." Chief Tim stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with a greedy look.

"Alright, let's go." Seeing that the vassals were unanimous, the Grand Chief of Pomerania raised his whip in satisfaction and announced loudly.

"Whew, whew, let's go~~~." An army of five thousand men behind the vassals and the chief shouted, and the sound startled the birds in the woods, hovering over the forest for a long time.

"Boom~~~." The Grand Chief of Pomerania led an army of 5,000 people, and set off towards the west, but their marching speed was a little slow, in fact, there was no way to say that this kind of tribe was still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal system, and the army of 5,000 people was actually only about 3,000 people who could really fight, and the other 2,000 people were the families of the soldiers and the logistics troops accompanying the army, after all, sufficient logistical support was needed to support such a large army to fight, because the addition of these non-combatants made this team noisy along the way. They followed the road all the way, and it took several days to reach the border between Watergast and the Grand Emirate of Pomerania, at which point it was a crossroads.

"Why is the Great Chief holding back?" Chief Bazel asked curiously, looking at the Grand Chief of Pomerania who had stopped at the crossroads.

"Well, let's head south." The Grand Chief of Pomerania pointed to the southern road with a horsewhip and a sign at the junction, which made Chief Bazel very strange, because they were on their way to rescue the county of Watergast, and they only had to cross the other side of the border river.
