Chapter 126: Megara Defensive Battle II

www.biquge.info It stands to reason that where there is oppression, there is resistance, the oppression of serfs in this world is even more cruel than the European Middle Ages where Lei Zihao was born, and the life of the low-level serfs is just a good two-legged livestock in the eyes of nobles and knights, in addition to not being able to eat, all the torture will fall on the head of the serf!

In the 500 years of the dark calendar, it is not without the uprising of serfs who can't stand the oppression, oh no, to be precise, it should be called civil unrest......

It's a pity that the high-end force of this world is far stronger than that of the Earth Middle Ages, and a full-fledged official knight can be suppressed against hundreds of naked serfs!

If an army of knights could basically charge with a single cavalry, it would be able to crush thousands of rebellious serfs!

Therefore, after experiencing several brutal suppressions, the serfs were completely numb, and they still had the hope of living like resigned ances, and perhaps they could also make some small military achievements in the aristocratic civil war, and be freed by the noble lord who was in a good mood!

As long as they have a free body, the serfs can barely support themselves by working and joining the army, and if they have a talent for martial arts and can practice the skills of a trainee knight, it is equivalent to being able to control their own destiny, at least, they can decide where they die!

Therefore, the war has almost become the only place where the serf group can get ahead, although most of the serfs are dead in the war, but the example of survival can inspire the hopeless serfs to die for the noble lord who oppressed them!

This is the reason why the crusader cannon fodder can stand up to the rain of arrows and death to erect the ladders one by one!

In this world, if you don't have a good background, you can only rely on military exploits and force to fight for that glimmer of life, as long as you have a certain amount of force and your own weapons, even if you don't want to be controlled by the nobility, you can also become a mercenary who fights and guards for a living!

It is under this cruel elimination system that the human world maintains the peak of force, and the commoners at the bottom either become the 'domestic animals' raised by the nobles, or become the 'beasts' of freedom!

Now under the city of Megala, tens of thousands of levies in the position of 'domestic animals' are fighting hard to become free 'beasts'!

Crusades were more attractive to serf conscripts than aristocratic civil wars, because the Church of the Radiant Lord was more reputation-conscious and wealthy than the noble lords, and if they could make meritorious contributions under the Church, they would basically be free after the war, which was much more reliable than those noble lords who decided by their feelings!

Of course, the premise is that the crusade can only be victorious, and if it is defeated, there is nothing......

Therefore, the cannon fodder in the crusaders has a much higher patience in battle than when the nobles lead the troops!

Anyway, these cannon fodder only have one bad life, and they have nothing to worry about, and they just play with their lives!

More than 20 ladders were quickly erected in the game of cannon fodder, and Lei Zihao had to admit that he once again underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Crusader cannon fodder......

The performance of these cannon fodder in siege warfare is many times better than that of field warfare!

Because in the siege battle, the cannon fodder does not have to face the overwhelming cavalry charge, nor can they see the infantry shield wall that is constantly pressing!

After the ladder was erected, those real combat mercenaries and noble standing armies waiting in the rear, led by knights, petty nobles, and trainee knights, roared and rushed to the front line!

The city of Megara was already crowded with people at this time...... With corpses!

"Golden juice! Pour the gold juice quickly! ”

When the soldiers in the rear began to climb with shields on their backs and swords on their backs, waves of and urine heated to a boil fell from the sky!

As long as this thing is poured on a person, even if it is wearing armor, it will burn a sturdy adult to loosen the ladder and fall to the ground and wail!

And these feces and urine on the surface of the human body burns, it is easy to cause various complications and infections, basically a soldier who is scalded by a large number of 'golden juice' is equivalent to a complete waste, and the rest of his life will die a painful death in the disease!

In fact, what can really be used to cause a lot of damage to the climbing troops is that there is a special machinery installed on the city wall, which can be pushed down by only human power, otherwise, such a large stone or log can be lifted and thrown down, which is really unscientific......

Is it true that everyone is a strong man?

If the rolling wood stone is small and not massive, it will not be able to deal enough damage to the siege soldiers with shields......

Therefore, Lei Zihao simply only prepared the golden juice, who called the Megara city defense system so thin?

The gold juice is still very effective in watering the climbing siege troops, and it only takes a bucket of boiling and urine that a single person can lift to pour a series of climbing soldiers into 'men', this kind of scalded 'man' is terrible!

When the mercenaries and soldiers climbed, those cannon fodder were not just sitting and staring, and the knights and petty nobles who came to the front line naturally would not act as cannon fodder for the first wave of climbing the city wall, they organized those surviving cannon fodder conscripts, let them take a weapon casually, and climb the ladder with the soldiers in front!

Without these huge numbers of cannon fodder substitutes, the small number of mercenaries and soldiers would not be able to withstand the attrition!

These knights and petty nobles directly acted as a warlord under the city, and if anyone dared to jump down from the ladder, they would be executed directly on the battlefield, regardless of whether you were a soldier or a free mercenary, it was a dead end!

The archers on the walls of Megara began to retreat slowly after a large number of ladders were erected, unable to form a rain of arrows under the city, and the shield spear heavy infantry and the hand-to-hand combat troops of the Seris Revival Army replaced the position of the archers, slashing and slashing at the enemies who came up with various weapons!

The tragic hand-to-hand combat came to the city wall of Megara faster than Lei Zihao expected!

Lei Zihao looked at a crusader light cavalry that had not been on the field outside the city, and a reserve composed of guards and knights, resisted the plan to open the city gate and raid, and ordered the elite of Wei Wushu to replace the pedal crossbow that had no room to play, and held a large shield spear to meet the siege troops who boarded up!

Lei Zihao's men and horses relied on the strict formation and the first hand on the city wall to continuously kill the siege troops who came up, and soon, the mercenaries and soldiers who came up were killed, and several trainee knight leaders died at the head of the city!

Losing those heroic vanguard troops, the cannon fodder who followed up could no longer gain a foothold in hand-to-hand combat, and were soon driven off the city wall, no matter how the knights and nobles who supervised the battle slashed and killed, they couldn't stop retreating!

In desperation, the crusaders had no choice but to blow the horn of retreat, under the watchful eye of the elite reserves of the crusaders, Lei Zihao did not open the city gate after all to expand the results of the battle, no matter how you look, the thousand lancers are not the opponent of the crusader reserves......
