Chapter 174: The Trump Card of Ball City (1)
The defenders of Boer City on the city walls fell one after another, and the soldiers who stood by behind the towers were constantly replenished, fighting the enemy head-on, fighting for the not very wide territory of the city walls.
The defenders of Boer City were already a little numb from the long period of killing, and they were almost instinctively reacting to repeat mechanical movements, but they soon found that they were surrounded by countless corpses lying on the ground in addition to their similarly embarrassed companions.
"The enemy attack is over?" the surviving soldiers on the walls looked at each other, as if they could not believe that this was true.
"Quick, let the soldiers in the back come and clean up the battlefield!"
While the soldiers were still stunned, Meria had already issued an order, and the soldiers who were on standby under the city walls and were ready to serve as a reserve force became a logistics force at this time. After such a bloody battle, the walls were covered with slimy blood, and some soldiers even slipped on them. The logistics troops took buckets of water from the houses in the city of Bol and poured them on the city, washing away the blood, so that on the edge of the city wall, a series of dark red waterfalls were formed, which was shocking.
A few soldiers came to the edge of the walls of Bol and tried to push down the sandbags piled up on the side of the walls, but as soon as they appeared, they were shot back by the Belu cavalry, who were still roaming the edge of the moat.
"Could it be that this is just a tentative attack by the Beru?"
Many soldiers of Boer City think so.
If it was only a tentative attack, then the real attack would soon come.
The logistics troops, under the command of the officers, began to count the weapons left on the top of the city, as well as the clusters of arrows that could be recovered and fired again from under the city, carried the wounded soldiers away on stretchers, and carried the bodies of the dead soldiers off the city walls, and the atmosphere on the city was even more tense than during the previous siege of the Beru.
At a distance of five thousand meters, standing at the head of the city, with such an open view on the plain, the barracks of the Belu army were almost unobstructed, and the black oppressive troops put a lot of pressure on these soldiers, and from here, it seemed that the troops of the Belu people had not decreased at all.
The companions who were still talking and fighting with him before have now become corpses soaked in blood, and the soldiers behind them who have not yet fought suddenly have a sense of sadness in their hearts.
The next time the enemy attacks, how many people will come?
These wounded soldiers were carried to the vacant barracks near the central square, Sylph and some doctors in the city are waiting here, it is no secret that there are elven tribesmen in Pol City, for the existence of Silph, the people of Pol City are completely welcome, and now Sylph also uses her life magic ability to start treating these wounded.
Kiru is still on the city wall, his wounds have been simply bandaged, the bandages used for bandaging are stained red with blood, and the eyes of the other soldiers looking at Kiru are shining, which is from the bottom of their hearts, respect for the strong, and awe of strength, if the soldiers before were more afraid of strict training and requirements, now Kiru, in the eyes of these soldiers, is nothing less than a god of war.
"Lord Kiru, did you say those Beru people will still attack?"
A soldier who had participated in the previous battle and was lucky enough not to be injured asked, turning to Kiru.
"Yes, even if our Hamp's army is directly attacking their rear at this time - but even then, they won't stop attacking. Kiru sighed lightly: "Besides, I can't say what troops they will send next time, 10,000 or 20,000? I don't know, but the next enemy attack will definitely take our Boer City." ”
Kiru glanced at the soldier who looked a little dazed, he didn't want to think about the specific number, this number didn't mean much to him, because as long as the enemy rushed up to 10,000, he and his soldiers might have to say goodbye to this world forever.
Kiru was indeed brave and good at fighting, but he was limited in the number of enemies he could deal with alone, and the only thing they could do was to make as many Turkic soldiers as possible fall before they fell.
Strangely, however, the Belu did not seem to have any intention of attacking again, and the enemy did not attack until the afternoon. The defenders of Boer City hid behind the battlements, quietly surveying the enemy's camp for some clues, and the camp was very quiet. Only the cavalry archers who shuttled back and forth in the city were still so annoying, and accidentally, an arrow flew up, and the soldiers who were lying on the edge of the battlements to observe the movement immediately fell to the ground screaming. In a very short period of time, four warriors fell to the arrows of the Beru, and Meria had to drink again to keep everyone safe in order to avoid needless sacrifices.
Meria himself came to the city wall, and he sat down with his back against the battlements along with the soldiers who were guarding the wall, and began to discuss today's battle and summarize some combat experience. Whether or not these soldiers really listened, the top priority now is to lift the soldiers' somewhat depressed mood.
As night wore on, Meria had her soldiers light torches on the walls, but the nerves were slightly relaxed. Anyway, the probability of siege battles happening at night is very low. Merial took Ginny and Will on patrol in the barracks, and as for Kiru, he had fallen asleep under Silph's treatment, and he needed a good rest.
"My lord, although we won the battle today, there seems to be something wrong with the morale of the soldiers. Will cleared his throat: "They are all pessimistic about the possible battle tomorrow. ”
"What about the representatives of the civilians?" Meria asked.
"Our civilians reacted well, and today's battle was at least won. Ginny laughed, "There are some civilians who have volunteered to join the logistics force. ”
Meria nodded, "We can all understand the reaction of these soldiers. They hadn't fought before, so I can understand that. ”
Meria and his party arrived at the barracks near the central square, only to find Nile waiting for him with several soldiers.
"My lord, why didn't you let us go to war today?"
Nile's attitude was quite respectful, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Meria didn't answer, but looked at Nile quietly and motioned for the other to continue.
"The gunpowder army is also the battle sequence of our Boer City, the other companions are fighting bravely in front of the enemy, we have to hide behind as a turtle with a shrunken head, my soldiers don't want to be pointed at by other brothers, I need the lord, to give a convincing explanation. ”
