Chapter 396. The confusion caused by incendiary bombs
The pirates who had already attacked the ruins of the city wall were now aware of the hot hands, and the feathered arrows inside the city wall were like waterfalls, and the gap in the city wall covering more than 30 meters could not be splashed by water at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Almost at any time, pirates fell with arrows in the head, and even more of them were stuck with arrows in front of and behind them, and like a living target, they eventually lost their strength due to excessive bleeding, and fell to their knees in vain, and were pierced through their skulls by the precise crossbow arrows, turning into a miserable corpse left on the ruins of the city walls.
"Retreat! Retreat all! ”
Wilmot's order to retreat came, so these pirates also lost the morale to continue to fight, and the scarlet in their eyes gradually faded, so they also retreated quickly, although they had not yet formed a rout, but they could not continue to organize the attack.
And inside the city walls, in a certain alleyway, news of the enemy being repulsed also quickly spread. Because what is hidden in the alleyway is the strongest armed force in this city gate, and it is also the strongest force stationed in the two city gates in the inner city of Gray Mist, the knights from the inner city, and the heavy cavalry team composed of their knight attendants!
It was a force led by Baron Charleson and the Knight Strong, consisting of ten high-ranking knights with a fighting spirit, thirty knights who had been rigorously trained, and a hundred heavily armed knight squires.
Despite the fact that this unit is only one hundred and forty men, but on the real battlefield, if it is used properly, it is the one that the enemy fears the most. At the critical moment, the conical formation they formed could easily chisel through the troops of thousands of people, and the enemy's front was full of holes, and the entire army could only be helplessly dispersed.
This is also one of the reasons why Baron Charleson dared to give up the city gates, although they lost the city walls and gates, but in fact, as long as they were properly arranged, they could still resist the attack of Levi's troops, and even in their thoughts, they could attack at the right time, and they could also defeat the enemy's troops in one fell swoop!
"Retreated? No, no, no, I know Levi, he is definitely not a person who changes his mind so easily. ”
Baron Charleson stood beside his war horse, took a comb to clean the fur of his beloved horse, and said without raising his head: "This is just the first wave of tentative attacks, see how our resistance is, if nothing else, their really strong attack is coming soon." ”
"Teacher, are we going to ask for reinforcements?" The Knight Strong was behind him, holding the iron armor of the war horse for Baron Charleson, and his face was very solemn.
Originally, he still had a somewhat discriminatory view of the firearms of the dwarf clan, thinking that the troops that were conscripted at the beginning were defeated, just because they nobles did not move, but now this idea has changed, especially watching the thirty-meter city walls and gates all collapse and scatter, which also made him completely abandon the discriminatory idea in his heart.
As far as he was told, if he wanted to collapse the more than 30-meter-long city wall, it would eventually be possible unless he used super-heavy and oversized trebuchets and dozens of non-stop bombardments.
But now, twenty dwarven cannons have collapsed the originally impregnable inner city wall in such a quick time, and even the troops outside have rushed into the city wall, Strong no longer knows how to describe the troops led by Levi, because this is something that the South Howling Sea has never done!
"We don't need reinforcements, we can handle it."
Baron Charleson was still calm, but his eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head to look at the two towering buildings in the distance of the inner city, one was the Governor's Castle and the other was the Mage Tower, and the corners of his mouth were mocking: "They will not let the inner city be captured, because once it is captured, then they will have to withstand Levi's attack next." ”
"Teacher, this..."
Strong obviously couldn't understand what Charlison meant, swallowed slightly, and still opened his mouth to suggest: "But we don't know, what hole cards Levi's troops have, why don't we let our troops continue to attack, and also test what he has gained?" ”
Baron Charleson smiled, but directly rejected his student's opinion, still sorting out his horse's hair, and said lightly: "Don't force it out, we just need to wait quietly." ”
He didn't say a word, not even the most elite troops in the Governor's Castle and the Mage's Tower appeared, did they still have to send them to their deaths? The Governor's Guard in the Governor's Castle and the mage guards hidden in the Mage Tower are all far beyond the existence of the elite guards in the inner city, and these nobles can know quite well.
Now guarding the walls was another noble baron, whose combat experience was not inferior to Charleson's, and he was also one of the most elite nobles of the Doge's faction.
If something really happens, those governors inside will not sit still, and now those city wall towers, as well as many mages hidden in the houses, are ready, and they don't need their cavalry team to play, maybe they can come in handy when pursuing and counterattacking.
"Bang bang-"
The dull sound of artillery reappeared, as if to retaliate against the fierceness, and this time the artillery was released quite neatly, and even in the alleyways deep into the interior of Grey Mist City, they could hear the thunderous explosions.
And Charlison raised his head slightly at this time, looking at the tail flames left above his head, the red was a little abnormal, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he turned his head and ordered loudly to the knights and squires next to him: "Everyone is ready to fight, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?" Before Knight Strong could react, he also looked up at the ammunition sprinkled in the sky, but before he could continue to ask, the red ammunition exploded, and what fell was no longer those white lime, as well as countless tiny iron filings and iron balls, but pieces of blazing flames!
Molotov cocktails!
The flames swept wildly, and the sticky objects inside had begun to splash around, falling into the wooden area of the house, or the big trees began to ignite, and after a while, there were already many places where the fire was burning in the gentlemen's houses in the entire inner city, and some people were still crying for help!
At this time, Baron Charlison's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a solemn expression: "Prepare to contact the city hall and organize personnel to fight the fire, we are here on standby, and we must not let the people in the inner city be chaotic!" ”
He understood that once there was chaos, then the Levi troops outside would be able to rush in directly!
