Chapter 16: The Bloody Battle of the Garmiedburg
In front of the Garmiede Fort, a large number of cavalry crossed the border and approached the castle, and the elite archers of Salander on the city wall shouted to the guerrilla archers to lower their heads and wait for the arrows to be taken and then stretched out to aim. Marshal Muhai Boyye looked at the other side with an ugly face and cursed the mad Saiga Khan, who brought with him two-thirds of the country's troops. Fortunately, in the spirit of taking advantage, almost all the lords on the Salander side gathered here in advance, ready to use the city wall to repel the Kugit legion and then plunder the nearby villages. If the forces of a few lords are still gathered as usual, and the others are held back, then it is very likely that Barrier will be besieged, Salander will be divided in half, and the central territory will be plundered.
The marshal on the opposite side was a white-haired old man Hu Bin didn't know, and the nearby lord told Hu Bin that it was Salander's nightmare Boliboye, occupying the rich city of Lana, and even Saiga Khan saluted him for three points, making him a very powerful character. However, as he gets older, his health is gradually declining, and the call for a new marshal to be elected in the country is gradually sounding.
The strength of the two sides is similar, Salander occupies the advantage of city defense, strictly defending, and several small characters of Kugit seduced in every possible way, in exchange for an arrow attached to Hu Bin's wind arrow technique, which was in the middle of the opposite lord's right chest empty door, Salander's side cheered, several cavalry rescued the lord who had fallen off the horse, and retreated into the crowd in a gloomy manner, and no one dared to approach alone.
After two days of confrontation, Saiga Khan seemed to be unable to wait, and launched an attack with half of the lords, this battle was fought from noon to more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Kugit side launched a total of 3 attacks of more than 200 people, but under the blows of many Salander archers, there were heavy casualties, and the garrison troops on the Salander side also suffered many casualties under the point shots of the Kugit cavalry archers whose accuracy increased after dismounting.
Hu Bin quickly shot 3 pots of arrows on his body every time he started a battle, and then collected the quiver left by the dead or seriously injured Salander archers to continue the attack, and Hu Bin, who was accurate in archery, was quickly caught on fire, and after a battle, the armor was scarred, and an arrow that was not blocked by the wind wall was hilariously nailed to the helmet.
In the third impact, the enraged Saiga Khan personally led the army to attack, and Hu Bin, who had been waiting for a long time, turned on all the special effects and shot him down the siege ladder under the rain of arrows. The favorability of all the lords participating in the battle increased a little, and the Sultan of Hakim roared loudly that he would win, and for a while Salander's morale was greatly boosted, and the rain of arrows on the city was a lot denser, but it was quickly suppressed.
Hu Bin, who was tired at night, leaned on the steps and took a nap, and the other lords were no better, and the soldiers who changed guards brought Hu Bin a blanket, and Hu Bin's bravery during the day was seen by everyone. The nomadic bow in his hand had been broken, and Hu Bin replaced it with a Kugit short bow, which was picked up from the corpse of a Kugit archer who rushed up the city wall.
The seriously wounded were moved back to the castle for treatment, and the priest Lorraine stayed in the rear, watching his master's army annihilated, seriously wounding 23 veteran light infantry and 3 Salander riders, lamenting that war is both the final grave and the best training ground for soldiers.
Hu Bin, who felt sorry for the cavalry, did not send the mercenary cavalry to death, but just put the guards who could not die on both sides of the gap in the city wall, and slashed down, one seriously injured and the other lightly wounded, and his own and the enemy's blood mixed together through the armor, sticking the underwear and skin together. Ted's stupid big man carrying the snatched two-handed tomahawk escaped the catastrophe, the wall stacks around him were full of arrows, but he didn't suffer any injuries, and he still had the strength to eat bread with jerky and ale, looking at this shit lucky foodie, Hu Bin was in a good mood, grabbed him a piece of bread and chewed it.
Fenrir picked up an elite scimitar with a return fire on a Kugit lancer 34 and slashed it, dancing happily, Hu Bin was red when he saw it, and poor Ryan was tragic when he got off the horse, and he was still in contact with the priest.
Hu Bin, who deliberately brought a lot of iron tools, found a soldier who could strike iron, and spent 100 dinars to repair the armor.
This battle made all the lords of Kugit and Salander aware of the name of Lord Reed, as well as the white flag with a red cross painted on it. Hu Bin is quite embarrassed by this emblem, to be honest, Lorraine's imagination is not rich, but who calls him the highest intellectual attribute.
At night, the two sides had a tacit understanding that they did not start a war, and the daytime battle exhausted the energy of both sides, which made Hu Bin, who became more and more powerful at night, shout that it was a pity. However, in the early morning of the next day, Marshal Bolipoye led the army to start the next round of siege, and Hu Bin, who had not slept well, numbly drew his bow and aimed and shot, but shamelessly pulled Ted, who was holding a large infantry shield, to block in front of him. Ted, who had buried his head behind the shield, took the bacon he had been rewarded with and complained that his breakfast had gone to waste.
In fact, Hu Bin should have changed his guard a long time ago, but he was reluctant to have a good opportunity to upgrade this time, how could there be so many high-level top cavalrymen who got off their horses and stood in a group waiting for you to shoot, didn't I see Ryan who was just injured holding a hunting crossbow and shooting. Hu Bin, who is already level 9, has 21 points of strength, and the level 9 strong bow makes the opposite side either die on the spot or be seriously injured and wait for death. The road on the wall was so slippery with blood that it would fall if he wasn't careful, and Fenrir stood on a shield waiting for the unlucky guy to slip and make up for it.
Fighting until noon, Hu Bin, who could no longer hold on, walked down the city wall with an expression of "you will be tired" in everyone, and completely became a militant in the eyes of everyone. I returned to the castle to visit the priest Lorraine and the seriously wounded, and unexpectedly found that Lorraine's knowledge had risen to 21 points, and all three healing skills had reached level 7, and I was holding a book of healing (healing +1) given to him by an unknown lord and looking at it.
There are only a handful of wounded soldiers in one place, light infantry and guerrilla shooters, and rookies have long since died in the harsh battles, and even these wounded will be promoted to veterans after demobilization. The battlements of the walls had been cut by a frantic rain of arrows, and the archers had little advantage in their counterfire, and the rapid consumption of arrows and shields was a bit overwhelming for both sides. The helpless Saiga Khan's last attack was fruitless, and he could no longer resist the pain and the pressure of the lords to retreat, and began to retreat in an orderly manner. Several Salander lords rushed out and were whitewashed and sent back by the old wolf Boliboye, who was waiting behind.
Neither side ate the good fruit, but in the northeast, the extreme lords, led by the lord of Artispoye, found that the Kugit was empty, and the former marshal made a decisive attack, sacked 3 villages, and brought back countless booty. Coupled with the loss of troops in front of the Gamiedt Fort, the Kugit Khanate suffered a big loss. The lords returned to the city of Dukuba in the rear, drank all the wine stored in the city, and then went east and west to manage the territory to replenish the army.
Hu Bin did not have substantial losses, but took a lot of advantage in this siege battle, the backbone of the legion has been formed, and the model of veterans leading new recruits can smoothly pull up a corps and grow rapidly, but Hu Bin is not satisfied with the status quo, there are too many places to use money, and the output of the territory is not enough to deal with the rapid development of the legion, Hu Bin set his sights on the opposite side of the Kugit Khanate.
With 3 guards and 5 hired cavalrymen, Hu Bin took advantage of the dusk to cross the Gamiyed Fort, and then secretly advanced to the northwest. Priest Lorraine returned to the city of Muradin with a few truckloads of specialties with the rest of his troops, while Hu Bin emptied his backpack and left only a few days of rations to attack the enemy villages. Carefully bypassing the village of Passimi, Hu Bin diverted to the southwestern village of Amaxiko, under the rule of Fort Uruzdak, where he drove away the villagers and burned down their houses, and Hu Bin got a bumper harvest.
"This roll of velvet is cheap for me, hey, and spices, isn't this the wine of Dukuba City, forget it, bring it back and drink it yourself, there is not much wheat, take it back as seeds, and leave so much linen for the shroud." The lord's unknown whereabouts of the Uruzdak explosion guards watched the village being robbed and could not do anything, without the lord's order, whoever ran out was a rebel thief.
Ted, who was crazy with a body full of beef, walked at the back, and the group quickly turned to the mountain pass of the Rodoko Kingdom to pretend to be a caravan and return to Sharitz, sold half of the beef and bits of booty, and then returned to his home with a large number of supplies.
The infusion of funds has led to the rapid development of the town, and several waves of refugees have been active in all walks of life under the arrangement of the mayor. Salted fish from Saddam Hussein village is very popular, but a villager found iron ore in a cave in the former robber's lair, and Wagner, who has risen to the rank of mayor of Shariz, announced the nationalization of the iron ore on behalf of Hakim Sultan, and will hire villagers to mine it from Hu Bin, and set up a blacksmith shop in the village for free, Hu Bin only needs to wait for a weekly share and a hired fee. Finding that the land could be used to grow olives and grapes, Hu Bin spent a sum of money to build a manor house dedicated to growing grapes, and also invited architects from the national capital to help speed up the construction. Hu Bin, who hired 20 sentinels, returned to his small town and used the rest of the money to start a winery. Because of a chance accident, Hu Bin drank the wine as juice by mistake, and found that wine can accelerate energy recovery.
