Chapter 298: Victory in the first battle
The war was provoked by Count Rus, and naturally his army acted as the main force.
A group of soldiers in leather armor and armed with weapons and shields attacked, and this group of more than 200 soldiers, all of them tall and well-trained, looked like they were usually trained.
The soldiers, led by two knights, carried several ladders and walked neatly, slowly approaching Baishi Village, although there were only two hundred people, but the momentum was amazing, giving people a great sense of oppression.
The other lords also gathered together, paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and they all turned their heads and ears when they saw this scene.
"Count Rose's army is really strong."
"The equipment is also very good, and such an army will cost a lot of money."
"It seems that the income of Shining Gold Town is very good!"
"I think Count Rose is overly cautious, and he can take this village with his own strength, without our help at all."
"I can't say that, this is also an opportunity to enhance the friendship of our family, everyone benefits together, it's also very good!"
"But we can't go too far, and the bulk of the benefits will still be reserved for Count Rose."
"I've heard that the kind of thing called cement is very magical, and the road we came on was cement, and it was really good."
"When Baishi Village is broken and the formula of cement is tortured, I will also pave cement roads on the territory."
While the lords chatted, Hu Ye was on the city walls, along with the Brown Knight and Jeremy, supervising the gunners and soldiers.
Although it was true that no one was afraid, the atmosphere gradually began to become tense. Many gunmen had sweaty palms and looked in the direction of Hu Ye from time to time, as if wondering why he hadn't given the order to open fire.
"Steady, steady!" Hu Ye kept reminding his subordinates in a deep voice: "Wait for the order ......"
The warriors waited and watched as the group of soldiers got closer and closer to the village. From the initial thousands of steps to hundreds of steps, and finally approached within a hundred steps, but Hu Ye still did not give the order to shoot.
"Steady!" Hu Ye still didn't give an order, and it wasn't until the soldiers approached fifty paces that he suddenly shouted: "Fire!" ”
The gunners had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately opened fire. With a series of crisp gunshots, the two hundred soldiers fell. After the first round of shooting, only half of the soldiers who attacked were left.
The rest of the soldiers were full of horror, they had never experienced such a terrible battle. There was just a sound on the wall, and the comrades around him fell to the ground one after another, which was too scary.
The two knights were also shocked, completely unaware of what was going on. However, the fighting spirit of the knight is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and he gave a loud order: "Don't panic, hold steady, charge with me!" ”
The knight shouted and rushed towards the wall, such a high wall may be difficult for ordinary people to overcome, but it is not very difficult for a knight with a fighting spirit to rush up.
As long as the knight has a foothold at the top of the wall, he will be able to buy enough time for the other soldiers to climb the wall. In their opinion, even if only half of their men could attack the village, it would be enough to take the other side.
However, the knights miscalculated, and a second burst of gunfire rang out, instantly ruining their plans.
The remaining hundred or so people fell half of them in the blink of an eye, and even one of the knights was knocked off his horse by the oncoming bullets, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
At this time, the soldiers lost even the last bit of fighting spirit, and ran back one by one. The remaining knight was stunned for a moment, and could only reluctantly accept this fact, turn his horse's head and retreat.
However, Vanessa didn't give the knight a chance to live, and directly shot the guy with Barrett. With the sound of a loud gunshot, the knight was cut in two in full view of everyone, along with the horses under his crotch, and the scene was very terrifying.
Barrett's gunfire was the last sound on the battlefield, and Hu Ye immediately ordered a ceasefire, sparing the remaining twenty or thirty remnants. There was silence on the battlefield, and the lords who had just thought they were sure of victory were all dumbfounded.
"This ...... How is this possible?! Viscount Lyon was dumbfounded.
Marquis George muttered to himself: "Two knights and two hundred well-trained soldiers were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour, this is also terrible!" ”
Marquis Bernie's eyebrows furrowed: "What kind of weapon is the other party using, why is it so powerful, and how many secrets are there in Baishi Village......"
Duke Stone and Duke Paul glanced at each other, and although they didn't say a word, they both saw a hint of greed in each other's eyes.
The lords all saw that the secret of Baishi Village was not as simple as the cement formula. The weapons they use are also very sophisticated, and they should look like dwarven muskets.
The lords all thought about how much it would benefit them and their territory if they could get their hands on how to make this weapon. So even though the first attack suffered heavy losses, everyone quickly formed a tacit understanding, and this battle will continue!
Count Rose soon came in a hurry, and unlike the complacent appearance he had before the battle, he was now disgraced and desperate.
"I really didn't expect that the strength of Baishi Village is so strong." Count Rose spoke with difficulty: "This battle ......"
Before Count Ross could finish speaking, Duke Paul, the highest ranking of the people, interrupted him in a deep voice: "This battle must be fought, not only must it be fought, but it must be won!" ”
Count Rose was stunned for a moment, but soon said in ecstasy: "Thank you for your generous help, thank you, Duke Paul." ”
Duke Paul smiled reservedly: "Our relationship has always been very close, no matter which one is in trouble, everyone else should do their best to help, don't you say?" ”
The other lords also expressed their willingness to continue to assist Count Rose in conquering Baishi Village, and would not give up until their goal was achieved. Several lords even expressed their willingness to gather more soldiers from their territories to participate in the war, and they must conquer Baishi Village and vent this evil breath for Count Rose!
For everyone's kindness, Count Rose of course thanked him and said that he would arrange the next attack as soon as possible. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the other lords were so enthusiastic, and they were definitely fighting those secret ideas in Baishi Village.
However, Count Rose does need the help of others, so he can only pretend to be confused, anyway, it is beneficial for everyone to share in Baishi Village, and he will not lose his share.
At the same time, there were bursts of cheers on the walls of Baishi Village. The warriors were all smiling, and even they did not expect that they could easily repel the enemy's first attack.
Even the unsmiling Brown Knight looked relaxed, and said to Hu Ye with a smile: "This battle is fought beautifully, I think they have to reconsider, is it a good idea to attack Baishi Village." ”
Hu Ye shook his head and said, "I don't think necessarily, this battle still has to be fought!" ”
