Chapter 334: Igos
A huge fireball was launched from the catapult and smashed over the heads of the Romanian coalition into the small castle.
Earl Frey's men fought back with catapults, bows and arrows, and every weapon they could find, but in this small castle, Xia Boyang's fifteen packing trebuchets were barely out of action.
Bursts of roaring and screaming from within the city continued to be heard. Joshua felt a surge of power within him. Wielding a glittering golden hammer, he climbed the walls in a few clicks in front of the gaze of a large group of soldiers. Even in heavy armor, he is still agile.
"Holy Light, sanctions!" The illusion of a massive golden warhammer descended from the sky, erupting in a powerful shockwave across the walls.
The defenders who had come to besiege him were suddenly dashed, and several people even lost their sense of direction and fell headlong from the wall.
"Follow me!" Joshua shouted, wielding a hammer to knock out a heavily armored knight. Dressed in the full-body armor of a Romanian hoplite, he showed only a pair of eyes, and let bows and arrows come at him from all directions, firmly occupying a wall.
Due to the lack of high-end combat power of the Freys, it is difficult to resist a surprise attack of heavy infantry like Joshua.
Seven or eight Frey's pikemen charged at him with their spears raised, and two were shot from under the city by Mel on the way. Joshua held the Vanguard Shield, which glowed blue in his left hand, and fended off the sharp spear head, smashing both spears with a single blow.
Suddenly, there was a tooth-tickling sound of metal twisting in his ears, and a spear pierced his heavy armor and pierced his arm. Joshua gritted his teeth and smashed the head of the gun and took a few steps back.
"Primary Healing!" After following Xiao Yan and their many adventures, Joshua's ability has also improved greatly, and he can already use intermediate healing magic, and even instant primary healing skills. In the dimensional world, abilities that can provide healing effects are extremely rare, and players like Joshua will also be focused on cultivating in other teams.
The pikemen who had stabbed Joshua had no time to be complacent, when a dagger pierced the neck.
"Joshua, stand back, the soldiers are coming up!" Aspin emerges from the darkness and jumps to Joshua's side. The two of them held a ladder back to back.
"Wan Sheng!" The soldiers under the walls, cheered and swarmed up to take over the walls through the gaps that had been opened.
"The city is broken." Xia Boyang nodded with satisfaction, "It's really fast." Earl Frey didn't expect to be defeated so quickly. Losing the main castle in the middle of the river, you have no way to escape. ”
……
"Count! Lord Earl! The captain of the guard shouted desperately to Count Frey.
The situation is out of control. Originally, Frey had placed the Doommancer in the castle in the center of the river as an ambush to wait for the Romanian attackers, but the castle was taken after a while; In the battle of the frontal walls, Frey's army could not withstand the offensive of the Romanian troops at all.
"I'm here, you idiot, come and help me!" Earl Frey was crushed under a collapsed beam, and he was convinced that his thigh had been broken.
"My lord! Our assault on the castle in the center of the river failed again. The captain of the guard said in fear, "The king's army has already stormed the wall, and all the soldiers are fleeing. ”
"Rubbish! It's only been a long time, useless waste! Ahem, ahem! Frey coughed violently, spitting out clumps of blood, "Those warlocks and I promised that the demon's power was so useless. Hurry up and get this log out of the way for me, and we'll retreat and go north to find those people. ”
"Yes! Lord Earl! When the captain of the guard knew that he was going to do something, he relieved himself and called to the soldiers who were running by, "You guys, come and help me get the Earl out." ”
The soldiers hesitated, but came over to help.
"Tap, ah, ah!" The movement of the wood hurt the old earl half to death, but he did not dare to stop.
Suddenly, there was a shrill whistling sound in the sky.
"Be careful!" There was a sudden shout from among the soldiers, followed by a crash and explosion.
The captain of the guard and several of his soldiers were killed on the spot by the falling fire, and the wooden beam they were holding on to fell with a thud and fell right on the terrified Earl Frey.
"Wow!"
……
"It only took 3 hours to end the fighting. These local aristocrats are really rubbish. Xia Boyang didn't even get a chance to make a move, he leisurely rode around the city, pointed to a hideous corpse and asked, "This is Count Frey?" ”
"Yes, sir." Several officers replied, "The captives have been confirmed." Count Frey died from the beam he fell on. ”
"It's a pity that I didn't catch it alive." Xia Boyang shook his head regretfully, "Pass the order, catch more prisoners, I have a lot to ask them." ”
The remnants of the Frey family tried to flee to the east coast after the two castles in the west were breached, but were stopped by the main castle occupied by Xiao Yan and them.
When Xia Boyang's main force arrived, the remaining troops of the Frey's frontal defense system all laid down their weapons, and more than 200 soldiers who had not participated in the battle on the east bank quickly put up white flags.
The Romanian army began to sweep the battlefield, interrogating prisoners and lightly distributing supplies. The short battle did not cause massive damage to the Twin Cities, giving it hope of becoming a stronghold.
"The capture of the Twin Cities is an important victory for us." Xia Boyang said to everyone: "This is due to the outstanding performance of the first warrior Joshua, and also thanks to the raid led by Griffith, if Frey and his team escape to the fortress in the middle of the river, it will take us a lot of time to end the battle." ”
Xiao Yan smiled and glanced at Joshua, the cultivation of him had finally begun to reap.
Xia Boyang spread out the map for everyone, and continued: "The capture of the Twin Rivers City has broken through the enemy's defense system along the Dalongmir River, and from now on we have an additional convenient passage from the sea to get contact, support and supplies from the Sevasto region. ”
"Well, I've sent a messenger to ask the nearby garrison of Sevasto to move closer to us." Sonia nodded, "This will make our forces a little stronger." ”
"Now it's embarrassing for the main Freemasons who are entrenched in our south and control Wilhelmshaven." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and added, "After the fall of Twin River City, the Freemasons are in danger of being surrounded by us from both land and sea. Even if we don't attack, simply digging a trench will cut them off from the army to the north. ”
"If I were the commander of the Freemasons, I should have set out as soon as I heard the news and fled north or east to avoid annihilation." Valkyrie agreed with the two men, "So your opinion is that the next step is to immediately outflank the Masonic army in addition to leaving the necessary defenders?" ”
"Well, yes." Xia Boyang smiled and nodded, "But there's no need to be in such a hurry." As long as we assume the posture of encircling them in the south, the defenders of Wilhelmshaven will be on pins and needles. If possible, I would like to destroy them on the plains instead of besieging them. ”
There was unanimous support for this plan.
The Lamor family will leave behind 1,000 infantry to defend the city of Twin Rivers with the 1,000 Kingdom troops who will come later, and gather the army of Sevasto here to come and return.
The main Romanian army was to outflank Wilhelmshaven under the command of Shabyang. Xiao Yan will also follow, and by the way, learn the skills of arranging troops from this earl.
