Chapter 128: Dorn's Collar (2)

"It's really a great place to be!"

Looking at the "Gate of Dorne" in Dorne's territory, Tucci's mouth was full of sighs.

The Dornland is a valley, like a basin surrounded by mountains, and the Raphael family relied on the mountains to build fortifications and run the Dorndom like an iron cylinder. However, as long as it is a territory, there must always be entrances and exits.

Gate of Dorne, Dornburg.

These are the two exits for Dorne.

The Gate of Dorne, which is located in the corridor of the mountains on the northern side of the Dorne Territory, is a valley with a canyon-like passage on the periphery, where the Raphael family built a huge steel gate, known as the "Gate of Dorne".

The main source of income for Dorne is the toll fee for the "Gate of Dorne", through which many merchants who take the land trade route have to pass through the Gate.

As for Dornburg.

It was the residence of the nobles of Dornland, and it happened to be located at the other exit of Dornland, and people had to pass through the back door of Dornburg to leave. It is worth mentioning that the Raphaels do not charge tolls for the back door of Dornburg, but they do collect the so-called "castle tax".

Since they had to pay twice for each trade, the Raphael family of Dorne were fond of calling them "two-mouthed bucks".

"Let the Third Brigade give that gate two more cannon salvos! I'm going to get into Dorne territory before that little Bill!" Tucci ordered coldly, squinting at the gate in front of him.

Bill's Banner Regiment is good at mountain warfare, and in the face of an iron bucket like Dorne, Bill did not choose to attack head-on, he took a path that the Dornes could never have dreamed of. He and his banner group chose to cross the treacherous cliffs, cutting directly around the Gate of Donn and into the Dorne realm.

The Tucci Banner Regiment is responsible for frontal containment and assault.

The only elite "Skinners" in Dorne had been taken by Tywin Raphael, and now there were only about three thousand regular troops left in the valley, or maybe five or six thousand if you counted the peasants.

In fact, three thousand regular troops were enough.

Occupy the Gates of Dorne and be condescending. Dorne's years of plucking have allowed them to accumulate enough wealth, at least in Tucci's eyes, there are at least hundreds of powerful crossbows on the gates of Dorne.

It wasn't a crossbow used by a personal soldier like the Goblin Crossbow.

The powerful crossbows were the size of a man, and they were neatly placed on the Gates of Dorne. These terrible crossbows, they require a special tool just to get on the hyun, a hoe-like tool, in which the soldier hooks the bow and then jams the crossbow buckle.

No matter how brave the orcs were, no matter how hard the goblins made their armor, there was almost no defense under that terrible crossbow arrow. Someone once offended the Dorne Leader, and as a result, under the Gate of Dorne, a few salvos of crossbows could be nailed several feet away from men and horses, and if the armor was a little weaker, an arrow could even shoot through seven or eight people.

Combining wealth and terrain, Dornling was once known as "unbreakable if it is not ten thousand"!

Only when tens of thousands of people died in this canyon and their corpses piled up in a mountain, the enemy could attack Dorne with their corpses.

Indeed, or many gifts are indeed impregnable.

It's a pity that this offensive of Tucci!

As a ranged soldier, Tucci wants to throw Dorne a few streets away when it comes to the use of ranged weapons.

"That kind of old-fashioned crossbow can kill people? Hehe, a crossbow that is not within range is just a piece of scrap metal!"

Tucci looked at the crossbows that the Raphael family had built with a lot of money, and he ordered loudly: "Everyone retreat a hundred meters, the third brigade is ready, two rounds of cannon salvo!"

Boom! Boom!

"Fire!" Countless cannons resounded through the valley, and one ball of energy slammed into the Gate of Dorne, and the raging energy blasted those crossbows into slag in an instant. Countless swarthy cannon barrels emitted dazzling firelight, and overwhelming energy light balls rushed towards the gate of Dorne, watching a ball of energy light blow up the gate of Dorne made of stainless steel, countless soldiers couldn't help but feel numb when they saw this scene.

It's like harvesting weeds.

The Dorn soldiers at the head of the city fell one by one, Tucci had no intention of charging at all, standing outside the range, countless energy bombs raged at the head of the city, the Dorns looked at the orcs who fired cannons wantonly, and greeted death in the corpse-strewn city, one by one the soldiers were engulfed in artillery fire, and they didn't even have time to scream.

"The extended version of the cannon has almost twice the range of the trebuchet! Even if these crossbows shoot farther than the trebuchet and can easily smash the trebuchet, everything is a floating cloud in front of my artillery!"

Tucci watched as his soldiers slaughtered the soldiers at the head of the city like adults bullying children.

He listened to the wailing sound mixed with the sound of artillery fire, and his heart was a little impatient, he was not a murderer who took pleasure in slaughter, Tucci quickly ordered: "Let the first brigade of exploding cannons be in place, and blow the gate open for me!"

After giving the order, Tucci regretted it a little, the burst cannon was a magic core with one shot, which seemed to be a bit expensive.

Immediately, he was relieved again, and said that the two-mouthed buck and the Dorne territory were rich territories in the south, and when he was defeated here, he believed that his losses could be compensated back.

I have to say, "If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates." ”

At this moment, a massacre is also going on in the Dorne realm.

Bill managed to bypass Dorne's outer defenses and cut straight into the interior of Dorne's territory.

And Carlyle Raphael, the owner of Dorn's lead at this time, was a cowardly fellow who was afraid that the enemy would hurt him, so he actually curled up in the castle and did not dare to show his face.

When a lord can't stand up and surround his territory, the soldiers under his command won't fight for cowards.

Tucci was in front of them like an exploding maniac, scurrying with their heads in their hands.

Bill rushed into Dorne like a ghost, and from the outskirts of the valley, with a few thousand men, Bill actually blocked the gates of Dornburg all the way. It is unbelievable that under the protection of his own territory, countless lords and knights, Carlisle only dares to curl up in the castle and watch the territory being occupied.

And the Knights of Dorne, who should have stepped up to stop Bill from expanding their victory.

Some of them were taken out to fight for the Garcia family, and the rest were either brought into the castle by Carlisle to protect him, or because of the lack of a leader, these knights could not obey someone, and even watched their fiefdoms being destroyed by Bill one by one.

Rumble!

"Rush! Rush in! The second brigade occupies the gate of Dorne, the third brigade presses the formation, and the first brigade rushes me!"

With a loud bang, the door of Dorne was blasted open with a huge opening, and Tucci immediately jumped up and stood up straight, his face beaming with joy, and commanded loudly. Under the fire of the 3rd Brigade, the enemy at the head of the city did not dare to rise to the head at all, and Tucci's assault team soon rushed into Dorne.

As the first group of goblin crossbows fired countless arrows, the clusters of arrows made by the dwarves filled the door of Dorne, and the "silver-white stag" fluttering on the gate of Dorne slowly fell.
