Chapter 38: The Death of Rhodok (2)

"Keep up with them, and be sure to beat them down." Hu Bin saw a group of numbered people with various equipment rushing towards this side with their entourage, and sneered in his heart, just the combat effectiveness of this group of miscellaneous cards, he really overestimated them before. The heroic knight is worthy of being the world's top combat power, and ordinary fifth-level soldiers can't break through the defense at close range. The narrow aisles of the city walls can accommodate up to three people side by side, not to mention room to wield weapons. Two heroic knights in composite plate armor crushed them like bulldozers, and the enemy could only use their names to slow them down, not to mention the remaining knights and more powerful guards.

Seeing that it was about to advance to the siege engine gangplank to block the enemy's road, a powerful crossbow flew over. Hu Bin's heart twitched, and the two heroic knights were killed by the crossbow arrow, and then blocked by the large shield of the third person. The lethality of the city defense crossbow in this terrain is amazing, if it weren't for the heroic knight with a steel-clad shield, it is estimated that a string of soldiers behind would have been killed.

Hu Bin stared at the city defense crossbow that he was once proud of with blood-red eyes, and the group of numbered people used their own people to block Hu Bin's vision in a frenzy, and the enemy soldiers who were blocking the front were naturally penetrated. Hu Bin picked up the war bow and blessed the wind arrow technique and shot an arrow, but he could only see that the arrow was deeply stuck in the baffle, and the numbered person who controlled the crossbow jumped.

The five-second city defense crossbow fired three shots, solving six heroic knights, and Hu Bin was more distressed than when he suffered two hundred casualties. Fortunately, the city defense crossbow originally had not much ammunition, and the ammunition had long been exhausted during the siege of the city for such a long time, and these few rounds were ordered by Hu Bin to stay to deal with the tricky enemy, but he didn't expect to let himself taste it first. I guess the numberer over there is also very embarrassed, it was they who managed to collect the crossbow bolts and destroy them yesterday.

The gap was finally blocked by the heroic knights, and a large number of foot knights pounced on the Rhodoc numberers, and the trapped beast numbered ones erupted into a round of attacks, victory spears, arcane missiles, and a bunch of disposable props that Hu Bin didn't recognize knocked over a group of soldiers who had beaten the head, and then a goblin bomb caused Fenrir and one of Gerry's tribal warrior followers to fall into the city with serious injuries. The lucky Ted rushed out from behind them, and with an axe and the blessing of the Sword Wind skill, he crushed the enemies that stood in his way.

The desperate Rhodok numberers were finally annihilated by Hu Bin's forces, recapturing the right wall and the Shoucheng crossbow, which had run out of ammunition and food. In this fierce battle of less than three minutes, Hu Bin and Gerry each lost one retinue, and the fourth- and fifth-level infantry cavalry were used as cannon fodder and suffered heavy losses.

As the battle progressed, another tribal warrior of Gerry also retreated on the verge of serious injuries, and the enemy's offensive seemed to be fierce, but the key position was blocked by Hu Bin's high-end combat power, which was nothing more than a one-on-one duel. But as several of Gerry and Hu Bin's personal guards were exhausted, they had to send a heroic knight to the front.

Hu Bin's heartache was that in order to intercept the continuous influx of infantry attacking the city, 9 more heroic knights were exhausted one after another and fell to the head of the city, of which only two were seriously injured and dragged back to the main formation, and the thirteen top knights did not die on the way to the charge, but were consumed on the meaningless city wall.

Gerry's armor was stained with the blood of the enemy, and he had just been replaced by a heroic knight, and his chest had been hollowed out by Sergeant Svadia's military hammer. The ribs in his chest must have been broken, and Gerry coughed up blood foam, and his hands kept moving, and the blade slashed through the knees of the enemy who jumped up to the city, leaving the fallen enemy to the soldier next to him to deal with, and he kept his eyes on the next enemy. The steel shield in his hand was almost rotten, and two of his fingers were cut off by the blade through the shield.

"It's miserable." He knew that he would recover after a while, but the pain of the injury still affected Gerry's movements, and he knew that he was about to lose his life.

There were also a lot fewer soldiers around him, after all, the enemy who attacked was not a new recruit, and although he tried his best to take the enemy's attack, he still couldn't avoid the casualties of others.

Hu Bin hesitated, not knowing whether to send the last reserve, which was made up of Gerry's most elite 23 Kugit lancers and 34 hired cavalry. These elite cavalry Hu Bin is reluctant to send them to the city wall, no matter how they say, they have to leave a little seed for themselves and Gerry, not to mention that even if they are filled in this pit, they may not be as good as a shield-wielding melee archer without a big shield.

Gerry still fell, Hu Bin took over his class, a shield strike knocked a Rhodok senior pikeman off the city wall, turned around and beheaded the enemy who slipped in while changing positions, Hu Bin's strength has reached the world limit of 30 points, and the melee attack has become very terrifying, and the enemy will be cut in two at every turn.

An enemy came up, was cut down, and the enemy behind quickly filled the position, and the weapon was raised above his head to prepare to split, but only before he could raise his hand, Hu Bin blocked the attack route with a shield, and then the knife flashed, and the soldier who rushed up lost the consciousness of the lower body. Hu Bin encountered more and more similar scenes, and the injuries on his body also increased. His arms began to ache, his breathing began to be messy, his shield had long since rotted, and he didn't know if the shield he was holding now was left by the enemy or his own people.

Hu Bin, who began to kill the enemy until he was numb, woke up and found that there was no enemy in front of him. Looking at the enemy who had abandoned his armor and retreated backwards and the sparse defenders on the city wall, Hu Bin threw the one-handed hammer he had picked up at the rout soldiers under the city, took off the steel helmet that was missing an eagle wing, raised the hand holding the shield in the air, took a long breath, and exhaled happily. The surviving soldiers on the walls immediately struck the mutilated battlements and their own shields with their weapons, bringing the shouts of victory to the people of the city. At this moment, Hu Bin's heart was not joy or glory, but a deep fear.

Gerry and his legion are over, and each of them is reduced to a small team. The Rhodoks outside the city began to retreat, and the Swadians had fled when Hu Bin was not paying attention, but at this time they chased them out purely to find death.

Hu Bin didn't know how much pressure his blockade tactics had put on the besieging lords, and the next soldier who had just arrived to block the road would be replaced by another equally terrible warrior, as if there were endless such warriors in the city, especially the surge of casualties after Gerry took over, which hit the enemy's remaining morale.

By the time Hu Bin took over, the enemy army, which had been exhausted for a long time, began to disperse, and the Swadians, who saw that they could not do anything, left the Rhodoks and withdrew from the siege first. The Rhodoks, on the other hand, held out for a while, but had no effect other than inflicting more casualties.

In the end, Hu Bin and Gerry relied on the only remaining heroic knights behind him to scare off the last counterattack of the Rhodoks. Unable to save more of the seriously wounded, Lorraine had no choice but to abandon the lower ranks, his face pale from the condemnation of his overconsumption, and the desire for the power of the Light filled his mind.

Hu Bin, who was relieved, began to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the corpses in front of the siege vehicles were piled up into a hill, completely blocking the city gate, but fortunately, the siege route left by the enemy could be wasted. A large number of corpses were waiting to be buried, equipment was waiting to be sorted and recycled, and Hu Bin, who was short of manpower, had to spend a bounty to mobilize citizens to voluntarily clean up the bodies.

The Rhodok Legion that fled back to Viruga was less than 500 men, and even half of the reinforcements from the Swadia Kingdom had been lost, so no one would come to fight Gerqira in the short term.

In the evening, Hu Bin received good news from the Sultan of Hakim, and Kugit's army approached the border of the Swadia Kingdom, forcing Harauth's cavalry to return to the defense, completely crushing the siege of Jerqila. Reinforcements would arrive early the next morning, but Hu Bin, who could no longer fight the drowsiness, handed over the defense task to Ted and returned to the castle to rest. The pressure he has endured for three days is too great, and Hu Bin, who can finally rest assured that he can sleep well, collapsed on the bed without even taking off his coat.
