Chapter 265: The Plan Shattered
Petrov's second flare was an attack order for the Berserk Knights, and the eight hundred Giant Bear Knights were hidden in the back half of the city at the beginning, and when the flare appeared in the air again, the Giant Bear Knights seemed to be pressed the start switch, and they rushed from both sides of the city to the north gate.
The swamp monster warriors have occupied all the walls of the north city wall, so no matter how many people go up, it is useless, Slughof Fortress has no heavy armor soldiers except for the Berserk Knights, in the face of the heavy armor of the swamp monster, four or five can replace one, this is still because of the swamp monster's body structure, there is no way to be 100% armored, its head, neck, tail, etc. are exposed in large quantities, which gives the soldiers a place to start, otherwise it is like an enemy who is 100% covered with armor, except for armor-piercing weapons, Normal weapons do not deal any effective damage to enemies for a short period of time.
"Listen to it all!! Hold on until the inhabitants evacuate, we can retreat to the fortress castle!! Until then, the retreaters slash! Petrov screamed as hard as he could, but the sound of gunfire, hissing, roaring, and pain were all intertwined, and Petrov's voice was not even heard by himself. The enemy's offensive is too strong, and the lack of means against large enemies makes Petrov despair, Slughof Fortress has artillery, but the shells need to be changed frequently, because only a very small number of areas of the entire continent belong to this type of cold, and no one at all upgrades their weapons and ammunition for this kind of weather, even Kislev uses this as one of the powerful means to contain the north, and after so many days of isolation from Holden, only the artillery of the castle fortress can now fire.
"Doot toot!" Just as Petrov was leading the soldiers in a fight with the swamp monsters. The horns of the Berserk Knights rang out from both sides.
A moment later, the metal collided, fell to the ground, and the sound of tearing was the first to spread throughout the entire northern city. The bear bear's claws are like blunt instruments such as hammers, and few swamp monsters can carry it with one claw, plus the knights on their backs keep turning left and right with long-handled battle axes or armor-piercing halberds, once the swamp monsters that dodge the collision are brought down by the weapon, they will face a crush weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the originally fierce swamp monsters are as fragmented as if they have been run over by a bulldozer.
According to the plan, the knights who rushed from the left were close to the edge of the defense line, and the knights on the right were close to the left to make a large area vacant between the entire city wall and the defense line.
"Retreat to the castle!!" The deteriorating pressure on the line showed Petrov that this was the only chance to retreat to the fortress before the gates were breached. So he immediately gave the soldiers an order to retreat.
But just as the soldiers turned their heads and began to retreat, a large number of residents suddenly poured out of the street corner in front of them, and several of them, covered in blood, the giant bear knights, quickly jumped towards the side of the defensive line.
"Jira! What are you doing? Why are you still here?! Residents ......" Petrov asked in confusion as he looked at a large number of residents in the distance, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gila crying.
"My lord!! Our secret passage was discovered by the enemy, who waited until we were all out before attacking...... Brothers, in order to cover our ...... "a thousand berserk knights were divided into two hundred, led by Gila to escort the residents to flee in advance, the exit of the secret passage is behind the hillside south of the Slughof Fortress, thousands of meters away from the fortress, the underground is transported by a large minecart designed by the dwarves themselves, one can send hundreds of people, several minecarts are connected and opened at the same time, can send thousands of people at one time, or tens of thousands of people can be sent in unknowingly. But now this secret passage was predicted by the enemy in advance, and an ambush was carried out, Petrov's first reaction was "How is this possible!" ”
"Boom !!" Just when Petrov couldn't believe it, the gate was finally overwhelmed and opened inwards with an extreme twist.
With a loud elephant roar, countless ordinary marauders began to pour into the city, and all kinds of debris at the city gate became the only obstacle to their progress for a while. At this time, the two berserk knights had also completed their convergence, misalignment and other actions, and the city gate was once again connected to the middle of the defense line.
"The city defense army stays!" Before Petrov could give the order, Kirov had already turned around and ran towards the defensive line. According to the original plan, the enemy evacuated the inhabitants first when they were attracted by the soldiers in the city, and then the soldiers on the defensive line retreated to the castle with the help of the Berserk Knights, which not only ensured the safety of the inhabitants but also reduced the shortage of food, but now everything was lost, and what was even more terrifying was that the city gates were now wide open.
"Jira! Secret passages? ”
"It's been blown up by explosives." Gila and the two Bear Knights were the last to return to the passage, and he blew up the entrance before he got on the last minecart, cutting off not only the enemy invasion, but also the knights who were holding the enemy outside.
"Take them back to the castle! Berserker stays!! The rest evacuated according to the plan! The soldiers waiting for orders around them looked at each other and continued to move, a little horror in their eyes, but more of a farewell to the soldiers who had been left behind.
"My lord! You go back to preside over the big picture first! We're in the way. As she spoke, Gila led the Bear Knight and prepared to move forward, but Petrov stopped him.
"Jira, protect the residents! No more accidents are allowed this time! As he spoke, he picked up his sword and turned away, but the next second his eyes were dark, and he was hugged by Jira the moment he lay on the ground.
"Send the adult into the castle and wake him up, and the ranged troops will guard the sky for me!!" The defense line was surrounded by houses, and it was difficult for the manticore, lacking long-range attacks, to take a large number of people with a single dive on the city walls, and after a few failed attacks, it kept hovering in the sky. Now I suddenly saw a large crowd pouring out of the street, and immediately rushed up excitedly.
Gila had gone to support Kirov after knocking Petrov unconscious, but now the movement in the sky has left him helpless.
"Kirov hold on! I'll be right later!! Jira mounted the bear and ran towards the crowd, firing a flare diagonally ahead.
Seeing this, the soldiers in the castle immediately began to convey orders, and the iron windows on the inner city wall were lifted, and small artillery pieces were pushed out, and Kislev did not have the advanced technology of the Empire, and used weapons that the Empire had long since obsolete, and the range could not even reach the northern gate.
