Chapter 100: The Battle for the Wall (1)
Vincent did not take away the command of Count Cavin and let Count Cavin organize his own army and attack Casio them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This made Count Calvin nod his head secretly, although Vincent looked cold and unapproachable, in fact, he was still a person who knew how to advance and retreat.
Immediately, Count Cavin ordered three hundred infantry to line up in front, with archers following closely behind.
While lining up, Count Cavin cursed Casio in his heart.
Because of this wall, the cavalry brought by Count Carvin and them was of little use for the time being, and only when the infantry took down the wall and went behind the wall, these cavalry could play a role.
Otherwise, Count Cavin would not need infantry and archers, and these cavalry alone would have been able to capture Greenwater.
After all, the boundaries around Greenwater Town are all vast plains, which are the most suitable places for cavalry to play.
What Count Cavin could think of, Casio wouldn't have thought of.
One of the essential purposes of asking Ore's to hurry up and build this wall was to build a barrier to prevent Count Cavin's cavalry from charging.
Once Count Cavin and the others can successfully use these cavalry, Casio will pay a heavy price even if he has a way to stop it, and the battle can almost be said to be lost.
Therefore, the strategic significance of this wall is extraordinary!
The infantry and archers quickly lined up in front of the formation, and pressed under the walls at the command of Count Carvin.
It's not that Count Cavin has water in his head, and he doesn't want to attack the city wall under the noses of Casio, but that Casio is really vicious.
Obviously, with such a long city wall, at a glance, he actually only opened a narrow gate under it.
If you don't attack here, attack where?
What's more, even if Count Cavin attacks in another place, they are in the outer circle at this time, and Casio is in the inner circle, no matter how you look at it, they are restrained on the movement and can always stay on the same point with them.
Therefore, the first wave of tentative attacks is still necessary.
Seeing Count Cavin's army pressing towards the city wall, Casio laughed secretly in his heart, Count Cavin was really cooperative, and he didn't even have the idea of testing around, so he attacked directly.
In fact, the walls of Casio are clearly in vain.
From the outside, the city wall does stretch to both sides, and there is no end in sight, but if you look at it from the inside, you will find that the real part of the city wall is only more than 2,000 meters.
Casio didn't have enough time, so he asked Ole to build a real, more than 2,000-meter wall on this road, and only the outer wall was built for the rest.
In this way, from the perspective of Count Carvin and them, they will not see the problem of this wall at all, and they will mistakenly think that the entire city wall is real.
It was such a false and real method that Count Cavin instinctively did not consider the authenticity of the city wall, and according to Casio's plan, they attacked directly from the city gate.
In the face of the approaching army, Casio's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even let the archers prepare, but the old god watched Count Cavin's army approach.
His calm and composed attitude could not help but make Count Carvin suspicious.
However, after looking at the fact that the soldiers were less than a hundred and fifty meters away from the city wall, and the surrounding environment was so vast that there was no way to hide the ambush soldiers, Count Calvin's heart relaxed slightly.
As Count Cavin's army entered the range of one hundred and fifty meters, Casio suddenly raised his hand, which made Count Cavin nervous in their hearts, not knowing what Casio's means of dealing with it were.
Casio estimated the distance between the two sides, and the raised hand fell suddenly.
Suddenly, with a "clang" sound, ten honeycomb bombs that looked like watermelons were thrown into the air by the droppers, and with a perfect parabola, they fell into the formation of those infantry.
These infantrymen were all holding shields, always on guard against Casio and their archers, and when they saw these round projectiles, they thought they were throwing stones or something, and they scattered a little around a little.
Because of the small number of soldiers, and because it was not the reason for the charge, the soldiers were able to avoid the projectiles by scattering.
When he saw Casio's response method, Count Calvin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glanced at the other nobles, and couldn't help but smile.
"It's just a stone-throwing, I thought it was something!" Count Cavin sneered disdainfully, thinking that Cassio, despite his good brain, had never fought a battle after all, and actually used a stone-throwing when defending the city.
Of the group, only Vincent frowned under his helmet, and his instinct told him that it wouldn't be that simple.
Almost as soon as the nobles had burst out laughing, the honeycomb bombs fell into the crowd, and with a powerful and muffled sound, Count Cavin and the others immediately saw an incredible scene.
The projectiles didn't appear to have exploded in any way, but they bounced in place.
And the moment these projectiles bounced, some of the closest soldiers seemed to be hit by the invisible impact and fell sideways, only the outermost soldiers let out a scream and rolled on the ground in pain.
All of a sudden, the originally quite close formation, because of these ten honeycomb bombs, exploded into a blank space, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Count Calvin and the others were startled, completely unsure of what was happening.
But now, even if he ran to ask Casio, it is estimated that Casio will only throw him a roll of the eye.
So, Count Calvin immediately gave the order for these soldiers to start charging!
Now that they were only a little more than a hundred meters away from the city wall, it was the best time to charge.
Despite only having time to drop the honeycomb bomb once, Casio did not panic and began to order the [Silent Archers] to be ready with Sisko's archers and start throwing them.
In contrast, Earl Cavin's soldiers were more willing to face the baptism of arrows than the threat of unwitting honeycomb bombs.
Therefore, when Count Cavin gave the order, they roared, leaned behind their shields, and rushed quickly under the walls.
As the soldiers charged forward, Earl Cavin's archers followed closely and fired a wave of arrows at the walls to cover the friendly team.
Casio was naturally not polite, and after giving the order, another wave of honeycomb bombs was thrown, causing Count Cavin's archers to suffer heavy losses again.
Count Cavin's heart was dripping blood, and only by allowing the archers to quickly keep up with the infantry in front of him, he could also see that Cassio's projectiles seemed to be limited to a certain range. Whether it is beyond or shortened, there is no way to attack anymore.
At least, that's good news!
