Chapter 175: The Trump Card of Boer City (2)
Seeing the soldiers behind Nile, Meria instantly understood that during the battle, she had already told Nile her intentions, and now Nile's purpose was to use her mouth to calm the soldiers' emotions.
"I can understand everyone's feelings about wanting to go to war, but we all know that this time the Second Army of Belu can be said to be pouring out, whether it is the strength of the troops, or the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, they have a clear upper hand. The gunpowder unit is our trump card, just like the duel between two knights, no one will expose their tricks first, since we have shot, we have to kill and wound as many enemy troops as possible, if my guess is right, tomorrow will be the enemy's official general attack, and the dissatisfaction of other comrades will completely disappear in tomorrow's battle!"
On the walls, there were also soldiers standing guard, including those who had lived through the Battle of Yod with Meria, and who had seen the power of gunpowder firsthand.
No one thought that Meria had compassion for the Belu people across the plains, and that Meria must have had her own agenda.
In the last battle of Yode Town, it was precisely because of the great psychological shock and large number of casualties caused by the explosive pack to the enemy troops under the city that Yode Town was able to hold out for a long time in front of ten times its own troops.
But when will the gunpowder troops strike?
What kind of scene was it like for those ferocious Belu soldiers to be brutally blown to pieces by explosives packets?
Planck was the prefect of the night watch on the wall, and from a distance she heard the soldiers saluting, and Planck stood up to see that it was Meria who had brought Ginny and Will to the wall. Planck hurriedly stood upright and gave a military salute.
It's past midnight, but no one but Kiru is going to get a good night's sleep at this time.
"Casualties?" Meria asked bluntly, nodding slightly.
"Three hundred and twenty dead, six hundred and fifteen wounded. Planck said in a deep voice: "Although the enemy's casualties are greater than ours, this level of casualties is a great blow to us. ”
Ginny and Will's faces became ugly, as Planck said, the strength of Boer City was not much, and the casualties of nearly a thousand were already a heavy blow.
"But with Miss Sylph's healing skills, our wounded soldiers should soon be able to regain their combat effectiveness. Planck took a deep breath: "My lord, if there were a gunpowder unit in the battle today, our casualties-"
"Can you still fight?" Meria directly interrupted Planck's words: "The gunpowder troops will definitely be engaged in battle tomorrow." ”
"Yes!" Planck's face turned red: "If the enemy wants to attack the city of Boer, step on my corpse first!"
Planck's emotions were also somewhat stimulated by Kiru's heroic performance today.
"Okay, we have to fight tomorrow, so let's take a break now. Meria patted Planck on the shoulder, every soldier in Boer City was eager to prove himself on the battlefield, there may be a few cowardly people, but they all knew the seriousness of the Belu people's breach of the city, and under the threat of death, the cohesion of Boer City was unprecedentedly high.
"Ginny. As Meria walked down the wall, she suddenly said to the female knight beside her, "Let's Boer City, if my guess is correct, there are still some uniforms and flags of the First Legion, right?"
"Yes, this was brought to Boer by Lord Lord and Mr. Ron at that time, and it has been stored in the material warehouse. ”
"You go to Kiru, he selected some good quality soldiers from the trained soldiers, let these soldiers change into the clothes of the First Legion, and also, take out the other two 'ballistas' stored in our material warehouse, I still have the magic scroll on me, tomorrow the first wave of the enemy's attack, we will come up with the most ruthless counterattack, of course, this is when the gunpowder troops do not participate in the battle. ”
Ginny blinked, Meria's order looked a little strange, but as long as the gunpowder troops did not make a move, it was impossible for the enemy to spy on this trump card of Boer City, Ginny immediately nodded and went to the central military camp to look for Kiru.
"Lord Meria, do you mean to seduce the enemy?" Will suddenly whispered, "We are under the banner of the First Legion, so that the other party mistakenly thinks that we have sent the main force?"
"Yes, that's it. This Frank Lampard, although he often attacks impulsively, but he is quite cautious when fighting, and he would rather give up these forward troops during the day today than test our strength, this man is indeed not simple. ”
"As long as the opponent's main force participates in the siege battle, it is time for our trump card to play!"
......
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the tremors on the great plain would wake up some of the sleepy soldiers on the city walls, and there was no need to mobilize, and the sound of thunderous horses' hooves was the best rallying cry.
Ready-made sandbags were piled up under the walls, and no one broke the sandbags in the moat, and this time, the siege of the Beru soldiers became simpler and more brutal - the sprinting horses rushed directly through the sandbags, and the knights on horseback were like a pack of howling wolves, frantically pounced on the city of Boer.
Frank Lampard also didn't sleep well last night, as Boer City is more than three days away from his native Duchy of Beru, and if the defenders of Boer City carry out a counter-encirclement here that blossoms in the middle, then he is likely to die on the territory of another country.
Coupled with the intentions of the Northern Army, he still hasn't figured out why Kyrnilo, the main force of the vast empire, would come thousands of miles to the Fjord of Death?
Although he thought so, Lampard's order was quite resolute: "If you can't take Bol City, no one will want to come back!"
The assault force, consisting of more than 3,000 people, came to the city of Boer in an instant, and the defenders on the city walls fell into a bitter battle in an instant.
This time, though, Lampard was quick to see what he didn't see in yesterday's battle.
There are two more behemoths on the city wall, this kind of large war machinery, he is no stranger, and there are also a lot of such stocks in the Duchy of Belu - ballistas, said to be cannons, in fact, the ammunition loaded is not cannonballs, but incendiary bombs filled with fire oil, the shell is very brittle, after igniting the fuse, it is directly projected through the ballista-like firing device similar to a slingshot, as long as it falls into the crowd and explodes, the hot flames will spread rapidly, this kind of equipment is definitely a weapon for defense in the hands of the defender of the city.
