Chapter 45: The Belu Cavalry

Ron and Merial rushed out into the streets, in this world, there is no such advanced tool as broadcasting, once a crisis arises, the soldiers' feet are the fastest and best means of communication.

Even Ron, who was a little confused now, didn't expect that the Belu army would really come at this time.

A low horn sounded on the battlements, and on the streets of Yoder Town, the soldiers of the city defense army scattered everywhere were quickly assembling to the battlements in the east of the city, and the people of Yoder Town, who had fallen asleep, woke up from their sleep, opened the door, and poked their heads out nervously.

"Don't panic, our city defense army will deal with it in time, and once there is a new situation, we will send someone to inform you!"

Meria scurried forward as she pacified the frightened crowd, but to little effect, and the town of Yoder was in turmoil.

Ron's brain was spinning rapidly, they had done their best to arm Yoder Town to the teeth, on the other side of the moat, there were many traps that had been dug, and the configuration of the city defense army had also been greatly improved and updated because of the defeat of the Belu convoy, almost everyone had a light leather armor and crossbow arrows, in terms of combat effectiveness, it was almost no problem to exchange one with the Beru soldiers.

Hundreds of explosives packs have been made, and six throwing arms have been made to meet the projection requirements, all of which are the result of the continuous and intense work of these craftsmen in Yoder Town, and now they are definitely sleeping soundly in the resting place. Ron couldn't help but feel a little envious of them, and when he thought of the countless Beru troops outside the city, Ron suddenly felt a large stone pressed on his chest.

Meria's resting place was not far from the tower to the east, and soon they were ascending the battlements up the steps.

The moonlight was bright, and with the many torches already lit on the battlements, the visual distance was already quite good, and Ron and Merial gasped almost at the same time at the sight of the night in the distance.

In the vast Hamp Plain, it was as if the starry sky was upside down on the earth, thousands of torches were like countless golden-red stars illuminating the night, and there were thunderous whispers coming from some of the wet and muddy land, and Ron felt that the entire city tower of Yoder Town seemed to tremble rhythmically.

"This is the main force of the Second Army. Meria said in a deep voice: "Belu cavalry, they really look up to us when they arrive." ”

"Belu cavalry?" Ron felt a rush in his breath, when doing a paper strength analysis, the number of these enemies was just a number, but when the tide of cavalry appeared in front of him, just the oncoming momentum was enough to cause a lot of psychological pressure.

"Our Duchy Noah and the Duchy of Belu have the largest plain area in the entire Death Fjord, so these two countries have cultivated a group of elite cavalry troops, and the cavalry units of the Duchy of Belu are distributed in the First Legion and the Second Legion, and this Second Legion really looks up to us. Meria's face was very ugly: "It is absolutely impossible for these cavalry to fight alone, but we don't know how many people from the second army came this time." ”

"Captain, there's no way they're going to attack the city in the middle of the night, are they?" asked a city guard soldier standing next to Ron in a low voice.

"It's hard to say, the last time this second legion attacked Hamp City, it was the first attack in the night, and then the general attack was launched at dawn the next day. Meria said in a deep voice: "If it is an attack, it may also be a feint, it is impossible to attack the city with cavalry alone, and the night project, the time is also advantageous for us." ”

At this time, the originally neat cavalry team suddenly changed.

With the help of the moonlight and firelight, Ron clearly saw that these extinguished torches were thrown from the horseback by their masters, even if a lot of torches were thrown away, but Ron noticed that the cavalry who threw away the torches, whether it was a horizontal row or a number of columns, were thrown away by one person.

"Everyone, get down!" Meria's face suddenly changed: "Quick, everyone is lying on the spot!"

Ron's eyelids jumped suddenly, and in the moonlight, the soldier who threw away the torch made a neat posture almost at the same time, this posture Ron was certainly not unfamiliar with, and without hesitation, Ron fell directly with his back against the battlements.

"Whoosh!"

Under the soft moonlight, a black shadow suddenly rose on the great plain, sharp arrows slashed through the air, and the sharp sound of breaking the air converged, just like the raindrops of the previous days, but this raindrop, like a torrent of steel, was frantically rushing towards the towers of Yode Town.

At the moment when Meria issued the order, many soldiers fell directly to their stomachs, but there were some city defenders who faced this kind of scene for the first time, and some of them were at a loss, and before they could even react, the black arrows were rapidly expanding in their pupils.

Flying from the opposite side of the moat, coupled with the resistance of the air, the lethality of these arrows has weakened a lot, but just like what Ron said in the killing training class before, in this world, as long as they are shot by a bow and arrow, there is almost no possibility of survival, those soldiers who did not lie down were instantly shot by crossbow arrows, on the battlements, on the tower behind them, there was a series of gold and iron collision sounds, the city defense soldiers who were hit by the arrows groaned in pain, and the blood looked more hideous in the firelight, but at this time, no one could save them, and they could only watch their companions' bodies struggle in pain with cracked teeth。

Ron couldn't help but clench his fists, at this time they had no possibility of fighting back at all, they were completely suppressed under the battlements, the salvo of the Belu people, not to mention the accuracy, the power of this arrow is definitely very strong, this kind of attack, the damage that may be caused is not large, but the blow to the morale of the city defense army in Yode Town is absolutely huge.

Ron glanced at Meria beside him, and the latter's eyes were also unwilling, helpless.

Some people who originally belonged to the city defense army of Yode Town originally resented and hated the independent brigade for retreating without a fight and abandoning Hamp City, but feeling the arrows whizzing by them, they invariably had such thoughts in their hearts.

If it were me, would you stick to it?

"My lord, should we throw the explosives bag with our throwing arm? A soldier lying next to Ron clenched his fist and slammed it on the battlements: "Our throwing arm is absolutely strong." ”

"Don't, let them shoot, at this time, leaving the area of this battlement is looking for death. Ron shook his head: "All the explosives packs, keep them for the enemy's general attack." ”
