"Attack! Get the Yankees out of Thrindil! ”

In the darkness of the night, in the light of the fire, Rhodok's forces launched an attack on Serindil.

The Rhodok soldiers on the wall were relatively lightly equipped, and the weapons in their hands were replaced with short weapons and small round shields, which were all prepared for this raid.

The surrounding Svadia soldiers and Peony mercenaries immediately rushed over and immediately started a battle with these Rhodok soldiers.

In the face of the Rhodok's war hammers and military hoes, the equipment of the Swadian infantry not only did not serve the original protective role, but also limited their movements. At this time, the guerrilla shooters also took out their short swords and pickaxes in desperation because they were easily injured by mistake, and rushed up to start a melee battle with the other party. For a time, the city walls were in a mess and became extremely chaotic.

The Rhodok army outside the city also launched an operation, originally they planned to wait for the attacking troops to take the city gate and rush in directly, but since they were discovered, they simply began to attack in the night.

The battering rams were quickly erected, and the crossbowmen below and below the walls began firing in the firelight.

The Rhodok sergeants who led the way used their bodies and shields as walls, while the soldiers behind them also caught the spears that had just been sent from under the wall, tried to form a shield formation on the narrow wall, and then ran over those who stood in their way.

Things started to turn bad, and crossbows with flames flew over the walls and landed on various wooden buildings, setting them on fire. The gates were littered with the corpses of Rhodok soldiers, who had suffered heavy losses under the fire of Swadia crossbowmen and mercenary crossbowmen, but they continued to attack as their comrades who had climbed the walls came into their sights.

"That's the gate, take it down and drive the northerners out..."

Sergeant Rhodok, who was forming a line on the fence and shouting excitedly, suddenly stopped. An arrow struck him in the neck diagonally from behind, piercing the chain mail and penetrating at least 5 centimeters.

The sergeant fell off the wall, and on the other side of the street, the dark-skinned, almost imperceptible Desaivi nodded, and took a second arrow from his quiver.

"Hold the gate!"

Bandak yelled and rushed out with his heavy crossbow in hand. Behind him, hundreds of soldiers shouted and followed in his footsteps, and the crossbowmen fired crossbow arrows at the Rhodok soldiers who exposed their sides on the wall, knocking down a dozen of them in a single shot.

Fatis and Aren were among the troops, their arms and Byron's banner held aloft to restore the fighting spirit of the nearly unsustained wall guards, and they came to the two bed crossbows full of crossbow arrows in the rain of Rhodok arrows, and then pulled the trigger.

Crossbow arrows the size of spears pierced the bodies of three soldiers, and then knocked over four or five more by inertia.

The reserve contingent of Baron Zico and Baron Phyllis also arrived at this time, and after a large number of reinforcements arrived, Rhodok's offensive was directly suppressed.

The soldiers at the head of the city carried the hot oil up, and then poured the whole pot down.

There was a terrible cry from beneath the wall, and the smell of flesh rushed up the wall and into the noses of the guards.

The guards felt the urge to vomit, but even so, they forced themselves to shoot rockets underneath the nausea...

The battle continued until dawn, and as Rhodok's forces retreated, the flames under the walls were still burning against the cloth and grease on the corpses. There were countless dents on the gate, and the whole was twisted by the battering ram. Now, even if Byron wanted to open the door, they probably wouldn't be able to open the deadbolt.

When Byron came to the side of the wall in full gear, the scene was still very bad. The walls were littered with corpses, and the walls of nearby buildings were littered with charred black marks of flames, as well as crossbow arrows that had also been charred in black.

The wounded were arranged in several tents under the wall, groaning and waiting for James to deal with them. And the veteran doctor is also busy now, because of the operation, there are blood stains all over his clothes. But he couldn't stop, it was so hot that if it dragged on for a day, the wound might get worse than it could be treated.

But thanks to his superb surgical skills and first-class medical skills, many soldiers were able to avoid the fate of amputation, so that those who were not injured were no longer afraid of fighting because of the terrible effects that war could cause.

When Byron was coming, the soldiers who could stand up saluted him and showed their respect for him.

It was an invisible honor, because when Baron Zico and Baron Phyllis passed by, the soldiers were hardly going to bird them, not even their own soldiers.

"Even dead and wounded, last night we lost 70 people, half of them our people. My lord, if this kind of battle is fought a few more times, we will have no soldiers to fight. ”

Fatis wore the armor from last night, wiped the blood from his face, and said to Byron very worriedly.

"But we took out at least 200 Rhodoks, which is good enough considering the tactics of the other side. It seems that the rumors are not necessarily true, and those southerners are not very good at fighting on the city walls. ”

Alleyne leaned over and handed the helmet to Johnny beside him, his ostentatious tone seemed to question Fatis's words.

"That's right, Alleyne, we win more with less, but there's nothing to be proud of! You know there are more than 3,000 Rhodoks outside the city, we killed 200 and they still have 3,000, but what if we had 70 fewer men? It should be clear to you that we need soldiers far more than they do! ”

Fatis seemed very dissatisfied with Aryn's pride in his inconsistencies, and the other party frowned after being doused with a basin of cold water, and then walked away with a red face.

Byron looked around, then took a long breath and spoke to the other two barons before making an excuse to pull Fatis aside.

"How's John's side? I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to recognize the guards one by one. ”

Byron asked Fatis in a low voice.

"I found out, one of the guard squad leaders and his men are missing, and it is said that they ran to Rhodok last night."

"What!? Damn it! Which of our soldiers are those people? ”

"We were recruited in the area of Normana before we came here, and we joined us not long ago, and those boys are very short of money, I think..."

"I understand, Fatis, I understand."

"I just don't understand, I opened the conditions so well, and I killed several guys who dared to betray me, but why did there still a white-eyed wolf betray me? Well, I see, betrayal is not uncommon as long as the price is right. ”

"No matter what, I'm going to get those guys back! I'm going to give them a taste of torture, and then cut off their heads and feed them to the dogs!" ”

"That will be until we get through this, my lord."

"Well, you're right, Fatis ......"
