Chapter 105: Siege
With a hint of the smell of wolves in the air, Leo appeared coldly on the lookout of the castle, looking at the wolf cavalry raging in the town of Beiyuan not far away, and his heart was slightly heavy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Extrapolating from the large amount of god pleasure points that the Goblin Legion had received before, Leo didn't pay too much attention to this orc invasion, after all, even goblins can cause them a lot of damage, so there is nothing to be afraid of orcs.
But when these wolf cavalry appeared in front of Leo's eyes, Leo realized that he was too light on the enemy, and the wolf cavalry could be regarded as the most difficult opponent. They march fast, come and go like the wind, and are best at raiding, and of course, they are also extremely capable of frontal attacks, after all, those wolves are not ornaments. No wonder the Cossack cavalry was wiped out so easily, this wolf cavalry could almost be considered the nemesis of the human light cavalry.
The only thing that can match the wolf cavalry is probably the formed spearmen or heavy cavalry, but that must first make those cunning and treacherous wolf cavalry willing to fight you. Even if it is a mage unit with extremely strong long-range attack power, if it is unprepared, I am afraid it may not be the opponent of the wolf cavalry. In this era of lack of heavy long-range weapons, the wolf cavalry is nothing short of a nightmare.
Just as Leo lowered his head and pondered, the wolf cavalry had surrounded the entire castle under the leadership of the commander of the thousand horses, and the long howl of the wolf sounded one after another outside the castle, and the fishy smell was even stronger, which made the maids in the castle scream again and again, and the male servants also hid in the dark like quails and shivered.
Since Leo had sent both the beggars and Roman infantry to assist in the evacuation of the inhabitants of the territory, now only the Spartan warriors and Viking were stationed in the territory, and the remaining dozens of Cossack cavalry could not be sent out at all, and they were no match for those wolf cavalry.
The Thousand Horsemen didn't attack the castle immediately, it seemed to him that it only needed a little intimidation for the humans to be scared. With a contemptuous smile, the captain waved his hand lightly to the gate of the castle, and several wolf cavalry drove the wolf to pounce on the closed gate of the castle, making the appearance of attacking the gate.
Unfortunately, however, their actions were completely ineffective, and the oak-clad iron gate of the castle, which was nearly a foot thick, did not move under the impact of several wolf cavalry, and not even the dust was shaken off much.
The commander glared at the wolf cavalry viciously, feeling as if he had been disgraced, he drew his scimitar at his waist and shouted at the castle: "Listen to the humans inside, I command you to open the gate at once and hand over all your gold, silver, treasures, and delicacies." I'll count to five, and if I don't open the door, I'll kill you all by the time I break through the castle!
The werewolf's strange human lingua franca sounded outside the castle, provoking a sneer from Leo, who would be foolish enough to believe that those orcs would really give up as long as they had money and food?
Leo thought so, of course, out of his confidence in his own strength and his understanding of the orc race, but those ordinary people in the castle didn't think so. When they heard that there was a chance to live, it was like a man who had fallen into the water grasping at a straw, and poured all their hopes into it, completely ignoring what would happen if the orcs did not keep their promise.
"Baron Leo, let's listen to those orcs, open the gates and surrender......! I...... I don't want to die!" said a manservant to Leo with courage, and as soon as he finished speaking, he broke down and wept bitterly. Seeing that someone was taking the lead, those servants also begged Baron Leo to surrender in exchange for their own life.
"Shut up! Shut up! Look what you look like, a bunch of cowards! a bunch of cowards!" Before Leo could speak, Sean the butler scolded him.
"Do you think you can live by surrendering? Stop dreaming, look at what's out there? Those are the most ferocious and brutal beasts, and if you open the city gates, you will only become food in their mouths! Wake up, you guys! At this time, all we have to do is unite and defend our castle, this is the only way to survive!" Sean seemed to know the style of the wolf cavalry very well, and he didn't believe the words of the thousand cavalry commanders at all.
In fact, these servants can understand this truth when they think about it, but in the situation of life and death, they have long lost their ability to judge, and they blindly believe it as soon as they hear that there is a chance to live.
Although he tried his best to prolong the frequency of the numbers in his mouth, the city gate did not open on its own as he expected until the thousand horsemen had counted to five. This means that the people in the castle have chosen to resist to the end, and the thousand horsemen have a long face and a loud shout: "Attack!"
"Woohoo!" the wolf cavalry had long been uncontrollably screaming, and they couldn't wait to rush to the castle under the orders of the thousand horsemen.
Although the city gate, watchtower, and perforation are all available, it does not wipe the surface like the war castle, but retains the uneven appearance in order to pursue the nature of the bluestone, and also makes the wolf climb with a support point.
The wolf cavalry clinging to the rough exterior of the city wall resembles a swarm of ants trying to climb onto a cake.
Because this castle is an ancient castle inherited by the Cullen family for hundreds of years, the overall architectural style tends to be a compact and closed structure, and all the windows and perforations are slender strips, even if you stand sideways, you can't get in. Thanks to this, the only thing that Leo and the others need to defend for the time being is two small sections of the city wall on the left and right.
Two Viking virates were assigned to guard the castle gates, while Larson and Carlsen stood on the walls, striking whack-a-mole at the werewolves who dared to emerge from the walls.
Yes, it only takes one hammer, whether the wolf cavalry parries or not, it only takes one hammer, and the quasi-security knocks that hairy head into the cavity. If the wolf dares to show its head in an uninteresting way, it will be nothing more than another hammer to ensure that it will not make the same mistake again.
Compared to the ease of the Vikings, the Spartan warriors were slightly more troublesome. The vitality of the orc warriors was so strong that the Spartan warriors never imagined, and even if the Spartan spear stabbed them through, the beast-like orcs would not die immediately, but continued to wield the bend with a fatal wound. At the beginning of the battle, several Spartan warriors were in danger, and if it weren't for Feng Xifan's timely assistance, they would have almost been killed by the tenacious wolf cavalry.
