Chapter 61: Breaking the City
"After losing the protection of the city walls, the duke's army was in disarray, the soldiers trembled, and even the many knights could only fight on their own in a hurry, and their morale was low!"
- "The Rise of the Swan Family"
"Crunch ~ crunch ~ " The rough wooden wheels were weighed down by the rushing car, making an uncomfortable sound on the bumpy dirt road, and with the rhythmic sound of the leader champion swordsman's horn, twenty soldiers in charge of pushing the cart and controlling it pushed the rushing cart forward with difficulty, and each step could make deep footprints on the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The defenders on the ramparts didn't pay much attention to the strange thing at first, but as the rush got closer, the thick, sharp log hanging in the center made it clear to even the most stupid of men, not to mention its path straight to the gates.
"Shoot the arrows!" Under the command of the Duke of Orlando, the archers fired their arrows at the rushing cart, but unfortunately the roof extended outwards helped the soldiers block most of the attacks, and after the first attack failed, the archers who were shooting at the top of the wall were killed by the Noldor elves who were covering from behind.
"Ahh In the midst of the screams, another half-exposed archer fell from the city wall with an arrow in his chest, and the casualties of more than a dozen people in a row also made the rest of the people, even if they heard the duke's roar and threat, they didn't dare to aim carefully, and the random arrow clusters were even less damaging to the hedge car.
Ardalian, who looked at the head of the city with the bow in his hand, unlike the rest of his people, had not yet fired an arrow, and he had been waiting, waiting for the day when the fat pig-like nobleman who scolded his lord on the city wall would reappear.
The arrogant Lord Noldor has a grudge against this person and scolds Leo as a "hillbilly", so what is he? When had the Venerable Noldor elves been so insulted? Even if it's an indirect insult?
No matter how slow the rush was, the short road would come to an end, and when they reached the city gate, the feathered arrows on the city wall could no longer pose a threat, and the Noldor elves immediately retreated to a safe distance of 200 meters.
Where have people in the Middle Ages seen this terrifying thing, they can only throw weapons and stones and even all kinds of sundries from the city wall frantically, but if there is no target preparation of huge stones, how can these things shake the rushing car?
Casually raised his foot and stepped on a torch that slipped from the roof of the car, the champion swordsman who led the team spat at the palm of his hand, grabbed the thick rope that hung the log, raised his biceps in the arm, and beckoned his men to be consistent with him, and pulled the four ropes high backwards together......
"No~ they are going to destroy the city gates...", a shrill cry came from the mouth of Baron Root, who was lying in the cracks of the people and carefully observing, "Stop them!" ”
"Shut up Rutte, your voice is too ugly!" Habitually giving the baron a slap in the face, the Duke of Orlando commanded, "Command with the others on the wall, watch out for these untouchables, and maybe use them," and then turned around and walked down the city wall with his attendants and a few knights.
"Where are you going at such a time? "My lord" Rute looked at the Duke pitifully like an abandoned chick, and subconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes.
With the sheathed sword mercilessly knocked off the hand holding himself, the duke looked at the baron with an idiot eye, "Let go, you damn fat pig, I'm going to organize my knights to defend behind the city gates!" ”
******************************************
"Bang~~~Bang~~~" At the city gate, under the strong impact of twenty big men, the gate of Baiyue City was indeed as Leo said before, and there was a great loosening in the fixation and connection, even if the city gate itself was strong, it could only become a waste after losing it.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly according to his expectations, the heavily armed Leo stepped forward with a riding spear in one hand and stepped forward for a distance, behind him were all the punishment knights who had already discharged the charging formation, and slightly calmed the mount in the state of excitement, the front hooves kept digging the ground, Leo took off the shield with his left hand and said in a raised voice, "Punishment Knights, prepare for the assault!" ”
At this time, the two nobles of Lester and Tron, surrounded by the swan knights who were rejected by Leo to be included in the assault formation, with all the remaining soldiers, were ready at a short distance from the rear.
The highland swordsman with the strongest assault power is in front, responsible for expanding the killing effect, and the champion swordsman who combines attack and defense is slightly behind, and will quickly eliminate all resistance under the overall force, followed by the storm wings at the rear, they will ascend to the city to suppress the resistance in the city after the champion swordsman has seized the city.
Both inside and outside the city are seizing the last bit of time to prepare, anyone can see now that the previously strong city gate of White Moon City may not last long, and when the city gate really collapses, the swords of the soldiers on both sides will determine who is the final winner!
The city gate kept shaking, and under the impact, it seemed that it was going to collapse completely in the next moment, and finally, a loud cheer sounded at the city gate, and the huge city gate fell down with a lot of dust.
At the moment when the city gate collapsed, Leo, who was highly focused, took the lead in being the first to completely flatten the rifle and shouted "For honor!" He took the lead and rushed out, and at this moment his eyes could not tolerate anything other than the wide open city gate.
"For the sake of honor!" The punishment knights led by Feincais, who were unable to fight these days, witnessed the pain of the sacrifice of their comrades, and with this neat battle cry completely burst out, everyone began to charge with Leoqiqi to put down their riding spears, like a sharp blade that can pierce the sky, with an indomitable momentum......
The unicorn running frantically was like a stream of white lightning, and before the soldiers in the city could get ready, Leo had already rushed into the city gate, and the huge body of his mount Keely directly knocked away two soldiers armed with spears with terrifying momentum.
At the same time, Leo let go of the cavalry spear that pierced the two people at the same time, and under the swing of the paladin's long sword, two more heads with unwilling and frightened heads flew into the air, followed closely by the spears and stabbing swords of the other punishment knights, and the dozens of soldiers temporarily placed by the duke at the city gate were killed without even having a chance to make any resistance.
The shield in his left hand blocked a whistling spear, and Leo waved his hand to cut down a hastily arrived knight, and shouted the order, "Finn lead the men to clear all the enemies near the city gate and wait for the infantry to enter, Keith and the others do not stop, follow me!" ”
From the beginning to the end, Leo had only one goal, that is, Orlando Roland Christian, the Duke of the White Moon, who was gathering knights in the distance......
"Bastard, don't stand in my way, let me go first, I'm a baron!" The chaos at the city gates caused a riot among the soldiers on the city walls, and even civilians who hated the duke began to push and snatch the soldiers' weapons, and for a while, screams and curses were endless.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Root was timid and ran desperately to the far wall while guarded......
How could such an opportunity be missed by Lord Noldor, who had been staring at him, and with the closing bow in hand, Aldalian once again put six long arrows at the same time, but this time it was not shot one after another, but ......
"Multiple arrows!!"
The six fan-fired feathered arrows took the Baron's surrounding guards and his lives almost simultaneously, further exacerbating the confusion of the defenders by the death of Root and the reappearance of Ardarian's 'Demon Smile'.
With the influx of highland swordsmen and champion swordsmen at this moment, in the shout of "those who hold sharp blades die, those who abandon their weapons on the ground live", the defenders of the city wall, who were mostly recruits, laid down their weapons and surrendered in fear in large areas, and the civilians even crouched down at the first time.
After the dozen or so knights who were dying and resisting were crucified by Noldor respectively, the two swordsman battalions of the Highlands and the Champion quickly cleared the few resistances on the city walls, leaving some soldiers to protect the Stormwings to suppress them, and the rest of the soldiers under the separate command of Lester and Tron, led by the Swan Knights, began to deal with the stubborn enemies one by one.
At this point, after the city was broken, the army of Stormwind City once again entered a familiar and advantageous field state, and quickly gained the upper hand in the face of an enemy whose command was too scattered and chaotic.
Outside the Duke's Mansion, Leo took some of the punishment knights to look at the Duke of Orlando opposite, and the two will make the final decision on this war!
