Chapter Twenty-Nine: Temporarily Retreat from the Enemy
More than twenty arrows, bringing chaos to the Faceless One's ranks. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they are very clearly showing their lack of experience in dealing with long-range strikes. The Faceless Ones stood in a very crowded procession, and the distance between each Faceless and Hairless Hyena was not far, and the covering blow of this rain of arrows brought great convenience.
In the Dread Mercenary Regiment, not everyone knows how to use bows and arrows, and this kind of thing is very difficult to handle, so that there are only about twenty shooters in Dane's team. Their level of shooting is also not satisfactory, much worse than that of Delin.
But despite this, their round of shooting was quite effective against those faceless. There were at least a dozen faceless ones, with feathered arrows stuck in their bodies. The unfortunate of all was the leader who rode on the tall hairless hyena, and there were at least three or four arrows stuck in his body, in addition to the arrow that Delin had shot into his shoulder.
A rain of arrows made the faceless ones angry. The leader roared, and as if he no longer wanted to boost his morale, he directly commanded his soldiers to attack the rudimentary gate of Ghost Sword Harbor. Then, hundreds of faceless ones swarmed towards the rudimentary wooden door!
Only to hear the boom of cannons, the cannon that Dane arranged on the high platform on the side was powerful! Despite the fact that it was a solid bullet, with such a dense formation of those Facelesss, this cannon still made at least three Faceless incapacitated.
In the face of arrows, the Faceless can still rely on their strong physical fitness, as long as they do not hit the fatal part, they can continue to fight. But artillery is another matter. The solid shell fired is accelerated by gunpowder in the barrel, and it will be injured if it is brushed and hit the torso. What's more, the huge kinetic energy carried by the cannonball, usually after hitting the first enemy, basically does not weaken much, and after completely crushing the enemy's body, it will continue to move forward.
It's a pity that Dane didn't have some shells like flowering shells, which can cause damage through shrapnel from the explosion. The shell, though not as powerful, has a much larger range of damage, and is the best weapon against these opponents who have no reasonable formation and most of the targets are crowded together.
However, at this time, he could not care about anything else, the distance of sixty meters was fleeting, and before the artillery could fire a second shot, and the archers had not had time to release a second wave of arrows, the faceless ones had already rushed to the wooden gate.
After Dane explained to Delin beside him, and told him to continue directing the artillery and archers to continue the attack, he walked down the watchtower.
Under the watchtower, inside the wooden gate, a whole squadron of mercenaries had already pinched their weapons and nervously waited for the battle to come.
When they saw Dane's figure appear, the nervous look on their faces was obviously much less. I have to say that in the countless battles with Dane, this man has left a deep impression in the hearts of the soldiers of the whole regiment, and it can be said that he is the backbone of everyone.
Dane looked around for a week, and didn't need to say anything at all, just pulled out the long knife behind his back, and this action was already more exciting than a thousand words.
There was a rumbling sound, and the Faceless Ones were already attacking the wooden door.
With less than a month to build, and with only one or two hundred people, it is impossible for Dane to build Ghost Knife Harbor into a fortified city. To be able to erect a stone and wood fence is already remarkable. He did not have enough time, manpower, or resources to build a strong wall, so he had to temporarily replace it with a wooden gate.
Such a wooden door is not too sturdy. Although the Faceless Ones did not have siege equipment, just relying on their huge strength and a few Faceless Ones getting together and frantically slamming towards the door was enough to make the thin wooden door unbearable.
Dane had never had the luxury of relying on this wooden door to keep his henchmen in trouble, and he knew that the wooden door might not last long under the impact of those faceless ones. But he didn't care, in the middle of the battle, the idea of being a lord disappeared, and in his head, all that was left was the most primitive desire of being a warrior: to kill!
With a feeble 'squeak', the wooden door was blasted open in less than two minutes to block the Faceless One. Two planks crashed to the ground, and then, in a gap about three or four meters wide, an unknown number of faceless ones poured in.
"Kill!" Dane roared wildly, and the long knife stepped forward, leading the charge!
Running forward, Dane directly cut off the head of a hairless hyena that flew at him, and also cut off a faceless tentacle that attacked him.
Dane's brave performance greatly stimulated the fighting spirit of his own mercenary warriors. An entire squadron of mercenaries, following behind Dane, bravely blocked the breached wooden gate, and fell into a brutal melee fight with the faceless.
In terms of terrain, the mercenaries have a great advantage. The wooden door three or four meters wide can accommodate and rush in at the same time, and four or five faceless people or hairless hyenas will face the countless blades of the mercenaries blocking the door from three directions at the first time they rush in. Under the blows of the archers, the Faceless Ones tried several times to storm the Ghost Knife Harbor through the destroyed wooden gate, but they were never able to succeed.
The cannon roared, and it was powerful again! After the cannonballs decisively knocked over two or three faceless, another big killer in the Ghost Knife Harbor finally rushed up - the war story Orsengari!
The War Tree was indeed a little too slow, it had been arranged by Dane not far from the wooden gate, but it was only now, two or three minutes after the wooden door had been breached, it was too late.
But despite his slow movements, when he arrived, he played a stronger role than an entire squadron of mercenaries.
I saw that the huge body of the war story was blocked forward, and with a kick of his outstretched foot, several faceless people and hairless hyenas were crushed into meat patties. Then, the branches like giant hands, carrying immense power, are not something that those faceless can resist. In other words, when Orsengari was behind the wooden gates of Ghost Knife Harbor, there was little chance that the Faceless would be able to break through.
The battle lasted only about ten minutes, and after twenty or thirty corpses had been dropped, the leader of the Faceless realized that nothing could be done, and at his shout, the army of the Faceless resolutely withdrew from the walls of the Ghost Knife Harbor. This meant that Dane had an initial victory in the battle.
