Section 275 The Battle of Cologne (8)
Moon Shadow cloaked in mid-air, watching the last of the expeditions leave the fortress of Kollen.
On her feet, there was a basalt turtle that had shrunk N times in size, and the puppet dragon was left in Aachen City, saying that it was to help in the war, but in fact, it was to protect Aosen, and she didn't want her sister to be widowed.
"Girl, there are too many killings, it hurts the heavens and the peace!" Old Xuanwu put on the appearance of an old-timer and taught earnestly.
"The red dust and fire will go away, and I will return the red lotus to my innocent body." Moon Shadow quibbles.
She doesn't like to kill, however, this is the best means of Liwei, I believe that after this battle, whether it is friend or foe, the strength of the Hawai Territory must be taken seriously, Moon Shadow is ready to gradually get out of the continent of Amadeus, she now has only two things that she can't let go, one is the safety of her relatives and friends, and the other is the whereabouts of High Priest Mina.
"You've put a lot of effort into this, can you really let go?" Old Xuanwu was a little unconvinced.
"What can't be let go, willing to give up, can give up to get it."
Moon Shadow's face is light and light, this is not her pretentious posture, grandma is getting older and older, since she has returned to the earth, she wants to wait for the old man well, and she doesn't want to run around and make the old man worry again.
"And to whom will the Hawaii be handed over? Give back to that human nation? Old Xuanwu asked.
This gossip turtle!
Moon Shadow glared at him angrily: "I've worked so hard to play with my life, why should I give it to him!" ”
Her plan, the first choice is naturally Albert, however, he is the eldest son, if his father inherits the position of the patriarch of the family, then he will not be able to avoid this fate in the future, and what Moon Shadow hates most is the matter of linking the interests of the family to personal happiness. If Albert succeeded the patriarch, she would never let the Hawai Leader get too entangled with the family, so Robert was the best choice.
Feeling Moon Shadow's impatience, Old Xuanwu hurriedly changed the topic: "Girl, when will you attack the fortress." I'm here to help. ”
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
Moon Shadow immediately became alert, "Huh? Didn't you say that you should do less? ”
Old Xuanwu shook his head and said in a humming voice: "Who said that he was going to make a killing? I'm afraid that you will kill innocent people, so I will help you! ”
"What is it called killing innocents?"
Moon Shadow stomped hard and said angrily, "When have I ever killed an innocent?" When these soldiers took up arms, they had nothing to do with the word innocent! ”
"Gotcha! Even if my old turtle is wrong, don't take my turtle shell out of your anger. Old Xuanwu was speechless, so he hurriedly asked Moon Shadow to be merciful.
In the fortress of Cologne below, the commander-in-chief of the remaining forces was Count Billies, although he was incompetent. But it was a close confidant of His Royal Highness Snell.
This time, Snell personally put on the battle, but he didn't feel at ease about handing over the rear to others, so he sent his cronies out, which can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders. As the army moved forward, the guards of the Koren Fortress unsurprisingly relaxed, both on the ground and in the air. The Drathes could not have easily infiltrated them---- the soldiers had no idea of it. There are still people in this world who are good at magical teleportation, and I didn't expect that there would be people who have a large amount of glowstone.
Night falls.
On the ramparts, Orson stood in the wind, watching the frenzied influx of enemies.
Thousands of Fateh soldiers rushed up with torches in their hands and ladders on their shoulders. Eyes did not know whether they were illuminated by torches or irritated by anger, and they were blood-red, completely ignoring the feathered arrows and stone bullets that poured down from the city walls, and desperately tried to put the ladder up the city walls.
The several barrages and traps built outside the city were completely leveled, even the walls were mottled with flesh and blood, the material losses of the Fats were very serious, and the large siege equipment had been transported to the Aachen and Duisburg fronts before this, and there were only a small number of siege equipment in the fortress of Cologne. Even the ladders used now are made day after day.
The ladder was finally erected on the wall. One by one, the sharp-edged Fatt soldiers climbed the ladder one after another, their eyes surging with the madness of battle. Step by step, they pressed towards the city.
Just as the first Fatt soldier grabbed the battlements and was about to turn them into the wall, a deep cry came from the wall: "Thorn! ”
Before the Fats could roll in, a shiny bayonet spear stretched out of the battlement and stabbed into the chest of the Fatt soldiers...... However, in just a dozen breaths, nearly a thousand Fats soldiers fell from the city, some were stabbed to death by the soldiers on the city wall, but many were killed, their biggest achievement was to grab the gun and pull the Dereis soldiers down, and for a while, dozens of Dereis soldiers fell from the city, in the blurred flesh and blood, you have me, I have you. When the soldiers below looked up again, the ladders had already been pulled up, and some of the remaining Fats soldiers jumped down one after another, and a dozen others tried to climb the city wall, but were picked down by the soldiers at the head of the city with bayonets.
"Attack on all fronts!"
Shariba gave the order with a cold face, so that Snell, who was just about to open his mouth to suggest a truce, shut his mouth again, and Errigern on the side shook his head imperceptibly, continuing to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
"Longbowmen prepare!"
Seeing the more dense Fats rushing towards the wall, Orson ordered loudly, and columns of longbowmen quickly climbed the wall, and the infantry immediately flashed to the side.
"100 meters ahead, shoot!"
The longbowman commander commanded loudly.
The longbowmen immediately pressed their longbows against the walls, tilted slightly, and thousands of feathered arrows were fired at the Fateh soldiers in a continuous stream...... There was almost no need to aim, and each feathered arrow could take a life, and the officers watching the battle from behind the battle felt bitter in their mouths.
"What about archers, our archers and catapults? Hold them down! ”
Snell shouted loudly, completely oblivious to Shariba's green face...... "It's almost over." Moon Shadow stood on a tower of arrows, condescendingly observing the battlefield.
"The end?"
Fenna, who was on the side, asked suspiciously.
"They are draining the energy of our army."
Alto explained: "Fenna, have you noticed that the troops they attack each time are of different numbers, and several main army groups have not been played, and the Fats are using cannon fodder to consume the energy and supplies of our army. ”
"So what, our main army hasn't gone up to the city either, and now it's all the private army of those lords." Fenna said.
"But our army, whether it is the main force or cannon fodder, is far inferior in number to the Fate, and such attrition is still unfavorable for us."
Moon Shadow interrupted the two men's argument and ordered, "Alto, order the guards to prepare!" ”
"Yes, sir."
Alto said yes and ran down the tower.
"My lord, what about me?" Fenna asked anxiously.
"It's none of your business tonight, you can just pay attention to the dragon knights of the Fats, remember, as long as you contain it, Haruks will help you."
Moon Shadow patted Fenna on the shoulder, and with a teleport, it vanished from its place.
The night was dark.
The walls of the fortress of Koren are brightly lit, and a huge torch is lit at intervals, and there is a huge torch at a distance of 20 meters and a distance of 40 meters under the city, stretching out for hundreds of meters, although it is not so subtle, but in such light conditions, even a dog does not want to slip under the noses of the soldiers defending the city.
However, although the situation on the ground cannot escape the eyes of the sentinels, what about the situation in the sky?
Convinced that it would be impossible for the Wyvern troops of Dresses to cross the battle line without the griffin knight's watch, the soldiers did not pay attention at all. Nearly a thousand meters above them, a group of black-pressed winged creatures quietly crossed the city wall under the cover of cloud shadows and flew in the direction of the city guard.
Using the magic teleportation array to teleport the Wyvern troops to the rear of the battle line, and flying above the Koren Fortress under the cover of night and clouds, not to mention that the defenders could not imagine that they could cross the battle line unconsciously, even if they were on guard, they could not see the flying objects in the sky, and the sound of the Wyvern and the dragon flying had been blocked by the old Xuanwu with spells, in Alto's later description, like hundreds of fallen leaves, flying lightly into the Koren Fortress.
Kelun Fortress is a purely military fortress, and its city guard is a headquarters, although Moon Shadow has a map of the city guard drawn by Orsen, but there are nearly a thousand rooms, if you really follow the map, I don't know how many people will be alarmed, and it is difficult to say whether it will be able to successfully take the Keren Fortress at that time, after all, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in the fortress.
"Huh! Girl, you can search with your divine sense! ”
Old Xuanwu couldn't help it anymore and reminded softly.
"Uh...... I'm getting ready to use it. Moon Shadow's face turned red, but fortunately she couldn't see clearly at night.
It's easy to get so swayed by habitual thinking that you forget some of the best things to do. When she spread her divine sense throughout the castle guard's mansion, the situation in every room was vivid, even the light and dark sentinels in the courtyard could not escape her divine sense, and in a house in the center of the castle guard's mansion, Moon Shadow found the target she was looking for---- Count Bilidice.
"Alto, lead the first and second teams to deal with the guards around the target. I personally tackle the goal. Moon Shadow commanded softly.
With the help of Lao Xuanwu, the operatives landed safely and silently in the castle guard's mansion.
The three hundred guards have all been screened layer by layer, they are all trained by Phoenix, Kerim and others (dragons), whether it is magic or martial arts, they are very good, the guards of the city guard mansion are not vulnerable at all, but with a cup of tea, all the guards of the city guard mansion have been cleared, and the entire city guard mansion has been completely under the control of the personal guards.
After Alto gave the signal that he could land safely, Moon Shadow fell from the sky and came to the outside of the earl's room, Alto made a gesture, and the guards of the first and second teams immediately controlled all the entrances and exits.
