Chapter 845: Attacking and Conquering
It turned out to be a rout......
As soon as the vice-captain thought this, he saw that after the hundred or so people entered the gate of the fortress, the leader of them hurriedly walked straight towards the captain who was about to go over to meet them.
"Choke!"
The sword is unsheathed!
"Poof!"
The blade of the sword plunged straight into the captain of the guard's chest, peeking through his back.
What's the situation? How could these guys suddenly do it?!
No one told him the reason, because just after the leader killed the captain, a row of crossbow arrows also flew towards the few people stationed on the wall, and the deputy captain was blocked by an arrow before he even had time to give the order to defend the enemy.
They...... How dare you open the fortress door!
This was the vice-captain's last thought before he died.
"Enemy attack!"
It was only at this time that several heralds of the fortress cried out in trembling voices. It's a pity that this fortress has lost its captain and vice-captain, and the rest of the people are basically a mess of sand, and a few squad leaders have no way to organize an effective counterattack. So ten minutes later, Cod had completely taken over the fortress. The rest of the Shadinhull guards were either hacked to death on the spot or were so frightened that they begged for mercy.
"Leave twenty men to guard the captives, and two mages are responsible for establishing a teleportation channel here." Cod looked at the guards on the field, who were stripped of their underwear and shrunk into a ball, and gave the order very decisively. More than fifty people were captured, and the squad leaders were all executed. The remaining fifty or so captives were unlikely to make any waves.
Velocity! That's the only thing Kod wants of himself at the moment. They don't have much time right now, and no one can guarantee how long Wilcas's side can hold on. Three forts have been captured so far, and two of them have completed teleportations. It will take some time for the 2,000 soldiers temporarily dispatched in these teleportation channels to gather and rush to the battlefield, so the only thing Wilcas can hope for is the support of the more than 1,000 troops who have captured the fortress led by himself!
The fifth fortress, the central fortress.
By the time Cod arrived with eighty horsemen, the scouts had already closed the siege of the fortress to prevent them from spreading the news. And the large army has slowly pushed to the gate of the fortress.
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, it was the same as when the Wilderness Fortress was captured before. Under the four shells fell not only the gate of the fortress, but also the determination of the two hundred guards in the fortress to resist. Originally, when there was a city wall, it was enough for them to deal with the half-moon army, not to mention that the gate was now directly blasted open!
"Rush!"
At this time, there were still four hours before the agreed time with Wilcas, but Cod, who had fought all the way, felt that Wilcas had underestimated the enemy's determination to keep him. With five fortresses and basically pouring out of the nest, you can imagine how much pressure Vilcas has to face!
The appearance of the magic cannon was undoubtedly a huge blow to the enemy's morale, but for the soldiers of the Half Moon Lord, it was the opposite. Looking at the weapons of their territory again and again, they broke through the enemy's city walls in a few breaths, coupled with the continuous attack on the enemy's fortress, and for a while, the battle spirit in their hearts was extremely high.
The guards of the central fortress seemed to be frightened, and the two hundred men did not organize much resistance, and one by one they left the captain's words of death behind them, and one by one threw away their weapons, raised their hands and asked for surrender. For these surrenders, Kod disposed of them in the same way as the previous fortresses, all stripped of their armor, tied their hands behind their backs, and gathered in the middle of the square to be guarded by a hundred soldiers armed with magic guns. Even if one person tried to incite the captives to do something dangerous, it would be a burden on their own colleagues, causing them to be charred in a few breaths with him. The Fire Tongue Technique is very useful against humans who have been almost stripped naked, and the skin will be greasy as soon as it is roasted, and the grease will burn immediately when it sees fire. And when it burns, the person is like a lit alcohol lamp that will not be extinguished until it is burned to black coal.
"Everyone, use the stamina potion immediately and get ready to go!" Ced looked at the warriors who were still on the rise, and gave the order in a loud voice. Next, he will lead these 800 men to give a surprise attack to the enemy who is besieging Wilcas over there!
The scouts had already sent the news that the place was more than an hour or two hours away from here, and though it was two hours earlier than planned, Cord still felt a little ...... Now one can only hope that Wilcas will be able to hold out until that time.
The battlefield was divided into two sides, and when the completion on the side of Cod was beyond imagination, the pressure on Wilcas's side was also beyond imagination.
"Pedal crossbow! Don't stop! All the magic guns are ready! Launch! ”
In the midst of shouts and killings, although Wilcas's order was quickly suppressed, through the combined action of horns and flags, the entire well-defended circle was still working well.
How many waves of enemies is this?
Wilcas didn't know. He only knew that he had confronted the group of enemies in front of him from the beginning of the sun. All he knew was that these guys were like wolves, first besieging but not attacking, and then suddenly charging when his side was tired from being vigilant for too long. There were a lot of corpses on the battlefield, but most of them were Shadinher's soldiers. Only the flanks of the Half Moon Leader were inadvertently broken in by a small group of enemy cavalry, destroying several bed crossbows and causing dozens of casualties among the warriors.
Bed crossbows, pedal crossbows, and crossbow strings broke one after another, and the high-intensity combat made these weapons of war wear and tear seriously. Even if Wilcas and his party had predicted in advance and brought a few craftsmen over, the repair speed could not keep up with the speed of wear.
Another wave of charges that ended without a problem.
Due to the reduction of heavy weapons, three areas were broken into the range of bows and arrows by the enemy, and although the soldiers of the Half Moon Leader reacted quickly after several rounds of projectiles, they still could not escape casualties. And the Shadin Hel led a hundred or so corpses and retreated again.
"Send the order, distribute the prepared stamina potions, let everyone recover quickly, and prepare for the next battle!" Wilkas looked at a cart of wooden boxes that had been dragged from the beginning to the present in the central supplies, and commanded to the side.
"Yes!" The adjutant who answered had a bloody streak on his face, he had been shot by a stray arrow in the previous battle, but fortunately he reacted quickly and turned his head, otherwise Wilcas's adjutant would have had to be replaced at this time.
Next Attack...... It's the right battle...... Wilcas squinted slightly as he looked at the enemy who hadn't lost much in numbers. This time, although the half-moon leader's side did not engage the enemy in close combat, nearly half of the defensive area had been rushed by the enemy to a stone's throw away. Next time, this half of the area should be invaded by the enemy. So before that, they had to use the cart of potions that Wei Xu had provided them to deal with the current predicament......
