Act 50. Battle of Cainzburg XII.
"Hurry up and find someone to close the door, hasn't the organ room been breached yet?"
Viscount Wellington shouted, clutching the wound on his shoulder, but fortunately it was only a flesh wound, and the blood had frozen in the cold winter, but it had not caused the wound to bleed excessively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The archers have assembled near the city gate, shoot all the Wendland soldiers who dare to break in, form a phalanx of three volleys, Wendland's army is leaning towards this side, we can't let them do it!"
Commanded by Viscount Hartmann, he ordered the remaining Astor soldiers to throw down the stones prepared in advance on the ramparts, which could not be defended even with strong shields, and the vanguard of Wendran was held back by the rain of stones, and their speed slowed down.
Then, the Wendland soldiers, who managed to dodge the rain of stones, were swept by a dense array of archers as soon as they stepped into the city gates, and fell down with several arrows, the armor of the Wendland infantry was not as good as their cavalry, and their leather armor could not defend against arrows at close range.
"How long is it going to be before Wendland's large army is already coming this way!"
Lord Manstein said with some eagerness, through the city wall, it can be seen that the Wendland troops in the south of Cainzburg have moved to this side, although the current defense near the city gate is enough to attack Wendland, but if the number of enemies increases, they can no longer support it, and the top priority now is to lower the raised city gate.
"The artillery is reloaded, and the enemy cannot continue to approach the city gates."
Viscount Wimbles is organizing the soldiers to start shelling again, although most of the Windland troops in the east of the castle have taken advantage of the fall of the city walls to break through the range of artillery bombardment and come under the walls, but more Wendland soldiers are still on their way here, and the artillery can still effectively kill them.
"I'll take someone to break down the trap room."
The Ash Edge in Alysphes's hand glittered in the light of the fire, and her face was a little bloody, but this did not affect her image, but more like a Valkyrie who grew up in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you should stay here and command the battle, the situation in the organ room is unknown, we can't risk our lives like this."
Viscount Wimbour advised that he had always been cautious and would never strike unless he was well prepared, and now he made such a suggestion for the sake of Elifils' safety.
"Now my strength is the strongest, and in a small place like the organ room, the numerical advantage cannot be exerted, so I can only rely on individual soldiers to break through."
This was deduced by Erifels based on what she had learned, and she knew that the other party's goal now was to defend the chamber and try to get as many Wendland soldiers as possible into the castle, so the usual methods could not be broken through so easily.
"......"
Viscount Wimble seemed to be about to say something, but Lord Manstein interrupted him.
"Lord Wimble, we should trust Her Royal Highness the Princess even more at this time."
The black-haired young viscount glanced at Ellifils, then drew his sword.
"I'll go with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I'll leave it to you here."
"Be careful."
Viscount Wellington nodded, he had already sent Viscount Hartmann to the southern wall to command, while he himself continued to stay here to organize the defense.
"Lord Wimble, the defense at the city gate is up to you."
Ellefils looked at Viscount Wimble, she knew that this Viscount who was over half a hundred years old was good at defense, so she said.
"Ten minutes, as long as you give me ten minutes, the city gate will definitely be lowered, and before that, please ask Lord Wimble to guard the city gate."
"Yes."
Viscount Wimbour did not refuse, he knew that it was right to obey the young highness now, they only needed to do their best within their respective duties, so he nodded, and walked down the stone staircase on the inner side of the wall with a few guards.
"Master Manstein, let's go."
Erifels was followed by three soldiers, including LeBron, and together with Lord Manstein, he descended the staircase at the tower, through the long corridor with artillery, and into the complex space inside the city walls.
The thousand-year-old walkway was now dusting from the vibrations of the artillery fire, and with LeBron's guidance, Eliefils quickly found the location of the trap room.
Located on one side of the gate, the chamber is connected to the gate by a complex transmission mechanism, which allows the heavy gate to be driven by only a few people, making it one of the most elaborate mechanisms in the Keynzburg.
The door to the chamber had already been shattered, and it seemed that the huge gears could be seen through the light of the hallway, but no one could break into the small room.
"How's it going?"
"Her Royal Highness, Princess, !?"
The soldier seemed quite surprised, he did not expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would be on the battlefield in person, and looking at the blood-stained sword in her hand, it seemed that she was ready to do it herself, but he knew that it was now a battlefield, so after only a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth to answer Erifels' question.
“...... We tried several times, and we couldn't attack them even after losing five people, and they had three of them, and they all had the strength of the bronze lower rank, and we couldn't beat them in this small space. ”
"Bronze Downstep?"
Erefels knew that even though Wendland seemed to be stronger than Astel in terms of overall strength, there were not many soldiers in the lower bronze ranks, if he guessed correctly, this should be their elite troops, in addition to the difference in strength, the gap in combat experience was also one of the reasons why these Astor soldiers could not attack.
"Lord Manstein, I will take the lead first, you will follow, and then the rest of the people, do what I command, and take care of safety."
Speaking to Lord Manstein behind him, Erefels clenched the edge of ashes in his hand.
"Your Royal Highness, please be careful."
Lord Manstein had just come to his senses, and the poison in his body had not completely faded, and his strength was slightly weaker than Ellifils at the moment, and he knew that Her Royal Highness had let her be behind her in order to protect her back, so he maintained 120,000 points of attention.
"Let's go!"
Elefils whispered, and then rushed into the chamber with her sword, only to see that as soon as she stepped into the room with her front foot, from the shadows, a short sword struck her flank, and from the other direction, a crossbow bolt pierced the air and flew towards Elefils's chest!
