Section 58 Reinforcements

In order to drive the peasants to storm the walls of Vismar Town, the rebel leader put his relatives and friends at the back of the attacking team, and played the role of a warlord, and if any attempt to escape was found, they were all executed, and this tough action made the offensive of the attacking rebels become resolute, and the casualties under the city walls gradually increased, and the peasants piled a baggage cart full of hay and a few wooden stakes sharpened at one end, and they braved the arrows on the wall and the arrow tower to push the baggage cart towards the gate of Visma Town. When the wagons were toppled at the doorway, the peasants set the hay on the carts on fire, and the flames and thick black smoke rose, much to the consternation of the guards on the town's walls.

"Matthew, they're going to burn down the gates." The guards were horrified at the sight of the burning wagons, the walls of the town of Vismar were made of wood and could easily be set on fire, and it seemed that the mud-legged men were not unprepared.

"Prepare the water quickly, and send more pikemen to the city gate, haven't the Earl's reinforcements arrived yet?" Matthew did not expect the rebels to attack so sharply, and he sent the soldiers on guard to various points of defense, but it is difficult to say how long this defense can last.

"Come on, we're about to win, think of the treasures of the merchants of the town and their delicate-skinned and tender." Seeing the burning gate, Big-Nosed Chad excitedly waved the rusty sword in his hand, urging the peasants to attack, and the peasants roared under the stimulus of victory and wealth, and they picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the guards on the city wall, although the stones were not as powerful as arrows, but they would be injured if they were hit.

"Damned mudlegs." Matthew clutched his forehead. He was hit by a flying stone, a cut in his forehead, blood dripping down his cheek, and the noise of the rebels was everywhere in his ears.

"The gates are broken." With a terrifying shout, the peasants poked a large hole in the burned city gate with their wooden forks, through which spears and forks pierced the enemy.

"I'll take command myself." Mathieu took the linen handed by one of the guards and wrapped it around his forehead, and he took a few steps with his sword in his hand and rushed down the wall, and ran towards the gate, where there was a detachment of pikemen who were doing their best to block the peasants' advance.

"Ah~~~~." Howls followed, and the man stabbed by the spear and pitchfork collapsed clutching his wounds. But the companions behind them did not have time to drag them to the rear. Directly on the body of the wounded, around the hole in the city gate to fight.

"Hold on, the Earl's reinforcements will be here soon." Matthew waved his sword above his head, shouting at the militia pikemen on guard.

"Drink~~~." See Matthew, the leader of the merchants' guild. The addition of the most important figure in the town of Visma. This boosted the morale of the militia a lot. The fact that a man of eminent position can fight side by side at least shows that they are valued, and that the most fearful thing for soldiers in war is not to encounter a strong enemy. Instead, he was ruthlessly treated as an outcast by the commander.

"President Matthew, will that heathen count really come to our rescue?" But there are also people who ask Matthew worriedly.

"Yes, Lord Arold is a nobleman who values honor, although we believe in different gods, but he will not give up on us, and we must not let the mud legs in." Matthew firmly told his militiamen that only by strengthening their faith could they do their best to hold the town, but the peasants were so numerous that they were like an endless sea, killing one would always fill the other, and the defenders of Vismar Town, although their combat strength and equipment were above the rebels, but each casualty would reduce their strength.

"Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" A young apprentice in Matthew's arms had a broken log in his chest, his eyes looked blankly at the president of the most prestigious merchant guild in the town, and he muttered with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, Matthew looked at this apprentice in his own chamber of commerce, his face was full of tears and he didn't know how to answer, and even wondered in his heart, why Arrod's reinforcements had not yet arrived, was he really deceived?

"Woo, woo, woo~~~~." At this moment, the sound of a horn sounded faintly, and at first the people on the battlefield did not notice any sound, but gradually the sound of the horn got closer and closer, and at the same time the sound of the horn was accompanied by the rumbling of horses' hooves, and Matthew looked up from the corpse of his apprentice, he frowned and thought that he was hallucinating, but soon he put down the corpse and ran towards the city wall.

"Look, Lord Matthew." The archers, who were exhausted on the city wall, raised their left hand and pointed into the distance, only to see a black line appear behind the rebels, and the first thing that caught his eye was a black lion square flag with a horse pistol, hunting and fluttering in the wind, and below the banner were three cavalry troops, two cavalry troops surrounded a cavalry in the center with a horse pistol like a forest, Arold was wearing chain mail and a smock, and in his hand he had a horse pistol longer than an ordinary horse spear, which was so long, The tip of the spear seemed to tremble slightly during the mount's movements.

"Lord Arrode, it's finally here." Ma Hugh leaned on the battlement, his eyes welling up with tears, and he felt guilty for his suspicions, but Arold was too few in number, and although he led all the cavalry, the cavalry together was only about seventy horsemen.

"Chief, the pagan count in the castle of Mecklenburg is coming to our rear." At this time, the rebels also realized that the army appeared behind them, and some of the peasants were summoned back by the leader Big Nose Chad and placed behind them to guard against Arold's attack, and this part of the peasants numbered more than 200 people, and they formed a tight formation in four rows, and aimed the pitchforks in their hands at the cavalry, even the peasants knew that they should use long-handled weapons against those cavalry on horseback.

"Ha Luha, they don't think that only this few people can defeat us." The big-nosed Chadhaha laughed, he personally led more than two hundred people to deal with Arrod, confident that he had the advantage in numbers, he laughed fearlessly.

"Lord Count, do you want to attack?" Julian was also dressed in military uniform, and he led a cavalry of javelin cavalry, with only about two dozen javelinmen, but they had already experienced several battles, and they were not afraid of the large number of rebels.

"No, let Ted and the special operations team attack first, from the left." Arold ordered Ted, who was leading the cavalry of the Special Operations Team.

"Yes, Count." Ted and his special operators were wearing leather armor, and it was natural for them to ride horses as special operators, but why did Arold let them attack first?

With a wave of his hand, Ted led the special operators to ride towards the left flank of the rebels, and saw Ted and the cavalry rushing towards him, and the peasants nervously huddled together and aimed their weapons at the attacking enemy, but Ted and his special operators stopped when they rode their horses to a distance of dozens of paces from the rebels, and they rode their horses and took something out of the leather bag on the side of the horse.

"Throw rocks and drive these guys away." The big-nosed Chad didn't know what Ted and his special operators were trying to do, but his instincts told him that it was definitely not a good thing, so he wanted his men to order.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~." A few people who threw stones came out of the peasants, they picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Ted and the special operators, in the stone attack, Ted and his team members did not fight, but used their legs to control the horses under their crotches to retreat, and then continued to busy their own business.

"Julian, lead the Javelinmen to kill those who interfered with Ted." Arold looked at the situation on the battlefield and gave orders to Julian and the javelinmen.

"Yes." Julian bowed to Arrod and led the javelinmen to charge at the peasants who had broken away from the ranks, and the javelinmen fired their javelins like lightning at the stone-throwing men, and the javelins could pierce the people with a single blow, which made the stone-throwing peasants hurriedly retreat into their formation, but the javelin cavalry did not let them go, relying on the rapid maneuverability of their hip dismounts, and shot their javelins around the rebels' formation, and the dense formation made them almost useless to aim.

"Ah, ah, ah~~~." The screams rang out in the ears of the big-nosed chad, and the damned cowardly cavalrymen slaughtered their own soldiers in such a vile way, which made the big-nosed chaded furious, but there was nothing they could do in the face of the shoot-and-run javelinmen.
