Chapter 68: Bloodstained Walls
The more than 2,000 people of the grass horses were already in disarray, and they frantically whipped the horses so that they could escape from the pursuit of the enemy behind them.
The horse stood upright on the horse's back, and the wounds on his body were bandaged for a short time, and when he saw the chaos of the light cavalry retreating, he was dissatisfied and sent some cavalry to guide him.
With the combing of these cavalry, the retreating cavalry was finally much more orderly, and did not rush to the army reorganized by the horse, and made a detour from the left and right.
"Duke, you'd better go back to the city. ”
The warrior next to him persuaded.
Behind them, these cavalry teams wearing heavy cavalry armor were all fancy shows.
Not to mention that they have not participated in the training of heavy cavalry, even if they have the foundation of heavy cavalry, the tattered armor on their bodies can no longer protect them.
At such times, it is good if the duke can deter the enemy, but if he can't......
"No need to persuade again. ”
Chakra waved his hand, glanced back at these warriors, and said, "Put more blood on your body and face to intimidate the enemy." ”
After listening to his instructions, the people below stopped persuading and got busy.
In a short time everyone was ready, and the enemy also rushed over, and the spears of the horses were raised, and the cavalry behind immediately followed.
The spears are like a forest, and the enemy slowly pulls the armistice horse.
The two armies are facing each other, the enemy is watching them, and they are watching the enemy.
With a sinister smile on his bloodstained face, his right hand slowly descended, and the spear was dropped by him.
He's going to charge.
The horses were sandwiched between their legs, and the horses began to trot forward, and then the speed became faster and faster, and behind him, the army was from Jing.
"Let's go. ”
After a moment's thought, Caseldo, the leader of the herdsmen, said without hesitation.
The light cavalry let go of the run, and the heavy cavalry is difficult to catch up, not to mention that chasing the horse has no intention of pursuing.
But he still made a good gesture until he showed a rhythm that he was sure that he could not catch up, and then he beat his horse back to the city.
At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and when the horse came out of the dark city gate hole, the dazzling sun shone on his eyes, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
In this battle, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was almost completely wiped out, the centurion and the five hundred commanders were killed countless times, and the duke chased the horse and fainted with serious injuries.
When the horse slowly came to his senses, it was pitch black outside.
"How's it going out there?"
He was startled by his hoarse voice.
"The enemy has not attacked the city for the time being, and the little duke is in command at the head of the city. ”
The attendant next to him immediately answered.
Chama nodded, and struggled to get up, only to find that his body was tightly wrapped in bandages, making him almost unable to move.
"Remove the bandages from my body. ”
He lay down again and said to the guards beside him.
"Duke, this is the ...... the great doctor"
"Withdrawn. ”
Said impatiently.
The guards did not dare to say more, and hurriedly stepped forward to withdraw the bandages.
But he was also clever enough not to pick up small demolitions, but to remove a few places that hindered the movement to make it easier for the horses to move.
It was much easier to get up again, but Chama found that his body was very heavy and painful, and it was impossible to get on the horse.
"Wear your armor and go to the city wall. ”
The guards put on their armor for the horses and followed him to the wall.
At night, several totemic fires stand on the city wall, shining around the city wall.
"Has the enemy not moved?"
Chase asked the horse.
The little duke shook his head and said, "No, I sent cavalry to observe from afar, and there was a report that there was chaos in their ranks for a while. ”
Zhuma thought for a while, nodded and said: "As soon as the battle was fought, I found that their front and rear armies were not compatible, and I think it was because of this riot. ”
The little duke's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Father, isn't this a good thing?"
Zhuma shook his head with a serious face, and said: "If they still maintain a superficial harmony, it is naturally a good thing, but if there is a riot, and the trouble has been solved, it is not a good thing." ”
He reached out and rubbed his son's head, giving him a rare smile.
It is already very satisfying for his son to be able to stand up when he is seriously injured.
"Father, can we attack the camp?"
Father's smile is the best encouragement, the little duke asked, holding his chest out.
Zhuma shook his head and said, "The heavy armor of the iron cavalry is in tatters, and we don't have the ability to repair the heavy armor, now we can only defend it until the King of People and the team of the alliance arrive." ”
The little duke's face showed concern, and he asked, "Will they help us?"
The king of men and the teams of the alliance have come to attack them.
"Yes, definitely. ”
The Duke affirmed, and in his mind, he thought of Manu, the man who had died.
After talking with his son for a while, the duke began to patrol the city, which boosted the morale of the warriors on the city walls.
The duke was very tired after the inspection, but he did not go back to the duke's palace to rest, but slept on the city wall.
This was naturally to boost the morale of the army, but at the same time it also showed the importance he attached to the enemy.
However, in the next few days, the enemy did not attack.
After that defeat, Heslamo, together with the leaders of the travelers and herdsmen, stripped the merchant chiefs of their rights.
And in the battle that day, although their armored warriors were defeated, their casualties were not as heavy as those of the iron cavalry.
In total, more than 300 sergeants died, and even if they died in front of the battle, only more than 500 people were injured.
But such a number is enough to cause a concussion in the army, after all, this is not a pure army.
In the past few days, Heslamo has been adjusting the morale of the army and adjusting the state of the team, and on the tenth day, he finally returned to the battlefield with his soldiers.
This time, he made sufficient preparations and freed up a thousand armor for the cavalry, if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry came again, he was bound to let the enemy go and never return.
However, what he didn't know was that the remaining iron cavalry in Xiliang City was not enough to charge, and the few heavy armors left were all arranged on the city wall by horse.
Cha Ma has already made up his mind that he will not fight again until the King of People and the Alliance army come.
"Father, archery, right?"
The little duke looked at the enemy under the city wall and said to the horse.
Shaking his head from the horse, this distance is not within reach of the bow and arrow, if you want to make a contribution, you have to wait, your own son, has too little experience in battle.
Quietly waiting, the enemy began to push the siege machine towards the city wall, and when it came into the effective range of the arrow attack, the horse immediately waved his hand for the warriors to release the arrows.
Arrows rained down, and even if the enemy was protected by that strange power, it could still deal some damage.
It's just that these enemies are quite dexterous, they can nimbly weave through the arrows, or knock them off with their weapons.
"If only there were enough bronze arrows. ”
Chasa said with a sigh.
The enemy dared to shuttle among the arrows, or because the bow and arrow were not enough to deter them, if they were all bronze arrows, these people would not dare to be so unscrupulous.
When the enemy was more than half near, he gave the order to add bronze arrows to the arrows.
In this way, the lethality was suddenly raised, and many enemies fell to the ground with arrows and began to withdraw from the battlefield.
But this was not enough to expel all the enemies, the siege engines were still advancing, and the armored enemies in the rear were also activated.
"Boom ......"
The ladders on the siege engines began to stretch and fell heavily on the top of the city, and the warriors tried to cut down the wooden ladders, but the enemy began to shoot arrows upwards.
Their arrows were short and did not shoot far, but they were so accurate and destructive that many of their fighters were shot down.
"Let the archers shoot at the enemies who have no armor, they are all the archers of the enemy. ”
As he commanded, he snatched his bow and arrows and shot downward.
He had bronze arrows in his hands, but not much, so he didn't shoot very often, but with amazing accuracy.
After shooting three enemies in succession, someone finally noticed him, and in one of his probes, an arrow came at him, and he hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed by the arrow on the forehead.
"Father, are you alright?"
The little duke asked worriedly.
Zhu Ma glanced at him dissatisfied, and said: "On the battlefield, where did you get so much nonsense, if there is a next time, you will go down to the city by yourself and don't participate in the war." ”
The little duke was told that he did not dare to speak, and he shot arrows again on horseback.
When he fired the sixth arrow, the enemy attacked.
For the first time, the warriors in armor exerted all their strength, and their bodies surged with a dark light, and they frantically struck up the ladder.
Ordinary bows and arrows have little effect on them, and only bronze arrows with totemic power attached to them can deal damage.
"Draw your sword and prepare for close combat. ”
He pulled out the long knife at his waist and stood up first.
When he stood up, the enemy was already approaching the wall, and the little duke beside him immediately stood up, picked up his spear and began to pestle the enemy downward.
In siege warfare, the soldiers above and below the city actually can't play any great means.
The lower ones are nothing more than charging with shields, and the upper ones are mostly pestles.
Holding the spear upside down in his left and right hands, twist the power on his waist, and let the spear kill from top to bottom, which has strong attack power and is also easy to exert force.
The leading warrior hurriedly used the shield in his hand to hold the spear, but his body was uncontrollably leaned back by the spear and fell directly.
The little duke finished his pestle once, and put away his gun for a second pestle, while the enemy behind had already climbed up.
Without the old duke's hands, another warrior held a spear upside down and killed him with a pestle.
This time, the warrior was not pestled down by him, he moved his shield slightly, and the spear slashed directly through the shield, and his strength missed.
The warrior lunged forward, and if he hadn't kicked him at the critical moment, he probably would have been able to pounce on the city.
"Steady, pestle kill. ”
Zhuma frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes. ”
The warriors hurriedly responded, and moved downward with more force.
It's good that there are horses here, but the soldiers in other places are a little nervous, and some places are even broken through in an instant.
When the armored warriors entered the city walls, they immediately slaughtered all sides, and the warriors could not stop them at all.
All they could rely on was a limited number of heavily armored warriors, as well as numerical superiority.
In some places, the warrior will use his body to resist the enemy's weapon, and then drag the enemy to death, wanting to give his comrades a chance to attack.
But as long as the power on the enemy's broadsword surged, these warriors could not hold the enemy's weapons, and even their bodies were directly split.
The battle on the city wall was extremely fierce, and the warriors of Xiliang City were almost defending the city with flesh and blood.
Soon, the city was covered with blood, and the entire south wall of Xiliang City and the outer wall were all stained red with blood.
