Chapter 369. The shield of the heavily armed warrior

The town militia ran down in terror, but fortunately there were not many people on the tower and the walls, and they realized that the other side wanted to attack early, so they evacuated in time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bishop Zachari ran in front, although he was a priest, but the church was not without training in hand-to-hand combat, his physical fitness was also quite good, at least he was extremely agile in the front, and he also grabbed a town militia who didn't have time to react, and quickly hid in a nearby alley.

The fortress in the middle of the lake is not large, but it still has the size of four or five thousand people, although the city walls have been built on a large scale, and in fact it has the size of three football fields.

But for now, a large number of shantytowns are in tatters, and the roads under their feet are muddy dirt roads, and the town militia has abandoned the city walls, intending to quickly find something in the area of the road near the main body of the fortress, and barely build a low wall, so as to resist the enemy's attack.

Even when Bishop Zachari didn't come over, this plan had already been decided, and now they still started to implement it without the slightest problem, Cape City must have learned the news now, as long as there are troops to come to support, then they don't have to hold on for too long, after all, it won't take long to get from the east coast to the Great Silver Plate Island.

"Bang bang bang-"

A heavy sound sounded over the walls, as if stones were pounding against the stone walls, but Bishop Zachari and the town militia did not change their faces, for they all knew that it was caused by the bed crossbows and ballistas, and the trebuchets.

And the most powerful attack has not yet come, they nervously carry the sandbags stored in advance, quickly around the streets and shantytowns, forming a low wall of more than one meter, although unable to resist the impact of the enemy, but barely rely on these low walls, and the flintlock pistol in their hands to stop the enemy's offensive, can still barely do.

After all, after going ashore, on this land, the flintlock pistols in the hands of their six hundred men have been able to form a dense volley of guns, and if they want to get close to the area they defend, they must also leave a certain number of corpses.

"This damn wall, if you have a chance, you must let His Majesty the King rebuild it for the better!"

The previous captain of the town militia looked at the city wall in the distance to the west, and could see that the wall was about to collapse, and the stones began to crumble, and the entire structure of the wall had been damaged by the heavy blow, and it seemed that it was a matter of time before it collapsed.

Bishop Zachari's face was even more serious, and just as he wanted to say something, in the western space in the distance, there seemed to be some kind of deafening sound, he opened his mouth, his face also changed, and his body subconsciously squatted towards the ground.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Three huge explosions appeared, deafening, as if it was thunder in the winter season, but in the area of the city wall, with these three huge thunders, a powerful force also appeared on it, visible damage appeared, and on the city wall, three broken stone balls, with the stone wall that was not solid, collapsed.

A large number of stones fell in a hurry, the collapsed city wall fell in a short moment, the dust, wood, and stones piled up into huge ruins, and the dust raised in the sky seemed to be a thick fog.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! ”

Zachari slowly stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could see through the thick fog hundreds of warships and transport ships in the distance, their eyes were red, waiting to attack one by one enemy soldiers!

Beckoning the town militiamen on both sides, they quickly lined up in a line, clearing the road in front of them and the shantytowns next to them, especially the wooden and thatched shacks, which quickly kicked to the ground, making their vision more and more empty, forming a large area.

This is to prevent the enemy from passing through the sheds, and block the sight of the shooters, and eventually affect the volley of flintlock guns, so cleaning these sheds, quickly kicking to the ground, forming an obstacle that hinders the enemy's advance, is a necessary thing, at least with a low wall of about one meter, they have also established their own defense line in front of the main body of the fortress.

The fifteen seven-pounder light guns were all assumed to be on the main body of the castle at this time, and in the small lookout holes, the shooting holes slowly stretched out, the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the outside, and inside were the gunners who were on standby, holding torches and waiting to shoot.

At the top of the main body of the fortress, a group of town militia was also stationed, lying on the top of the fortress with flintlock muskets, but their task was not to shoot at the enemy in the distance, but to form a second line of defense.

If the defensive line at the low wall cannot resist the enemy's advance, then these town militias will quickly withdraw to the main body of the fortress, with the help of wide gates, and the towers reserved on the fortress, firing holes to strike at the approaching enemy, in short, what they have to do is to delay as much time as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Here, everyone's attention!"

But the captain of the town militia interrupted everyone's thoughts, for at the very beginning of the collapse of the wall in front of them, a cry with a smirk had already appeared, and the dust was slowly falling, and a figure appeared there.

Those are the enemy, everyone already knows in their hearts, and these town militiamen behind the low wall also put their flintlock pistols against their shoulders, and the muzzles of the black holes are aimed at that side, as long as they are within range, they will not hesitate to pull the trigger and send the deadly lead bullet into the enemy's body.

"That's it!"

But Bishop Zachari's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was even more ugly, because the figures that appeared in the ashes were not enemies who were holding scimitars and trying to rush quickly, but large wooden shields that tightly covered the whole person behind them and slowly began to move towards this side!

Just like in the traditional battle of the Middle Ages, the large shield of the enemy's bow and crossbow was used to defend it head-on, and even these shield soldiers could not use weapons, so they held the heavy shield with both hands and slowly stepped forward.

And even the infantry behind them, shadows followed behind, but according to the observations of these town militiamen, these soldiers behind were all holding their own shields, which seemed to be lighter iris shields, which were also a kind of full-body shields, but they could be held with their left hands and their weapons in their right hands.

This is the way that the enemies have come up with in order to prevent further volleys of guns, and if this is true in normal times, it is now a little ridiculous.
