Chapter 465: Counterattack is defense

Lorist drew his sword and rushed forward, the sword light flashed, and the garrison who was shouting was unable to make a sound, the whole person spun in place, and after a circle and a half, it was divided into two parts, and Lorlist's sword slashed diagonally from his left shoulder to his right rib, blood gushed out, splashing everywhere.

As soon as the guards who were lying on the ground in a daze and had not yet woken up from their sleep, they saw a shining hammer pass in front of them, and then their whole bodies began to stiffen and weaken, and they couldn't scream when they wanted to, and soon eternal darkness descended......

Lorist walked out of the gate cave with blood, and just as he wanted to raise his head and summon the guards on the city wall to come down and open the city gate, he heard a panicked exclamation behind him: "Enemy attack! Come, come, ......come!

The sound stopped abruptly, and Lorist turned around to look, only to see two rows of bluestone houses dozens of meters away from the city gate, a garrison in iron armor with a long arrow stuck in his mouth and fell on the snow in front of the gate, his hands and feet were still twitching. It was evident that Joost at the head of the city shot down the yelling fellow with an arrow.

Unfortunately, this guy's shouting had already alarmed all the guards in the two rows of stone houses, and one by one the doors were opened, and the guards rushed out in full armor and weapons. Although Jost at the head of the city kept shooting arrows, shooting the guards who rushed out one by one to the ground. But the garrison that rushed out from behind learned the lesson of the unlucky ones in front, and they rushed out of the stone houses with iron shields one by one, and soon gathered in a group and slew Lorist at the city gate.

The guards on the walls had already rushed down, and Jost was still firing arrows at the head of the city, and Lorist pointed to the gate, signaling the guards down to open the gate, and he strode forward to meet the guards who were coming at him viciously.

The royal city of Federiga began to stir, and the sound of alarm bells tore through the pre-dawn silence. In the distance, the sound of fighting could be heard from the city walls, screams and the clashing of swords and shields, accompanied by the whine of the warning horn echoing in the dark sky above the royal city of Federiga. Clusters of fires began to ignite brightly, reflecting the gloomy sky......

"Kill!" Lorist rushed into the crowd of the garrison like a mad tiger, slashing and slashing. Dealing with these guards with a low level of fighting spirit, Lorist didn't use his own blood killing domain at all, and he was already at ease with his swordsmanship and his own reflexes.

The head of the sword fell to the ground, and one by one the guards screamed and fell to the ground after Lorlist's figure flashed. And they wielded swords and spears, but they couldn't pose any threat to Lorlist, and they couldn't even catch up with Lorlist's fast-flashing figure. The crowd was so chaotic that the people on the periphery couldn't even see where the enemy was, and when they saw Lorist, they saw the shining sword light at the same time, and the whole world was frozen there at once, fragments of broken memories flashed before their eyes, and then it was dark......

One blow in the left chest, two decapitation, three blows to the throat, the left and right garrison members fell to the ground in blood splashes, but the garrison in front of him stood still as if he had been struck by lightning, Lorist pulled out the long sword inserted into his throat, kicked him to the ground, and suddenly found that his eyes were empty, and he had killed the crowd.

However, there was no one to rush over, and when Lorist looked back, he found that his back was covered with corpses, and the corpses of nearly a hundred garrison members were lying on the snow, with severed heads, stumps, and blood that had dyed the snow on this street black and red, and the bloody air was disgusting.

There were still more than twenty guards standing, but they were trembling, no one could imagine that an enemy had inflicted such great casualties on them, they looked at Lorist with horror, their whole bodies trembled, and the scene suddenly fell silent, falling into an eerie silence......

With a "bang", the big iron shield in the hands of a garrison member holding a big iron shield fell to the ground, making an extremely loud sound, which woke everyone present at once. It's just that to Lorlist's expectations, the rest of the garrison did not rush up in anger and desperately avenge their dead comrades, but fled as soon as they threw their weapons away, shouting as they ran: "Demon, that's a demon......"

In the blink of an eye, all the surviving garrisons fled into the alleys on both sides of the street, leaving only their abandoned weapons and shields on the ground. Lorist touched his nose in annoyance, thinking to himself that I was so terrible, and that he had called me a demon......

However, Lorist was too lazy to chase these lost dogs, and the top priority was to open the city gate first and receive the troops from outside the city into the city. But as soon as he took two steps back, a guard came out of the hole in the city gate and told Lorist a piece of not very wonderful news: "Your Highness, the city gate is frozen, and we can't open it." Also, this gate is made of iron, not an ordinary wooden gate with iron sheets......"

The bodies of the twenty or so garrisons in the city gate cave had been dragged outside and thrown together, and Lorist was dumbfounded as he looked at the two large iron gates three meters high. Generally, the city gates are made of wood, and the outside is covered with a layer of iron or copper. Did the Visia Chamber of Commerce show off its money? These two large iron doors were cast with black iron, and there was an iron bolt twenty or thirty centimeters wide and seven or eight centimeters thick on the top, middle and bottom of the iron door.

It should be the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, these three iron door bolts are inserted into the protruding holes of the two iron doors and are almost frozen together with the iron doors, not to mention twitching, even if you knock hard, you can't make these two doors and the three iron door bolts vibrate in the slightest.

"Is the Vicia Chamber of Commerce sick?Is this going to lock itself in the city by making these two big iron gates?" Lorist said angrily, and then realized that this was mainly because the door was not opened in winter, or the north gate was not opened. If there is anything urgent, I will not enter and exit from this north city gate, and I was a little unlucky this time, so I happened to choose this north city gate.

It's not that the north gate can't be opened, but it takes some time to open the north gate, such as first making a lot of fire to bake the two big iron gates for half a day, and then putting these three big iron bolts out with some oil, so it will be very convenient to open and close the door in the future. The problem is that what Lorist lacks now is time, he doesn't have the time to spend half a day baking the gate before opening the door, and the Flying Tiger Legion outside is in a hurry to enter the city to attack the barracks......

"Can you cut these three iron deadbolts with your sword?" Lorist asked the guards beside him.

"No, Your Highness, you come to see this. The guard pointed to the iron bolt in the middle of the door.

Lorist saw that the middle part of the iron bolt had been cut into a mess, and these were the marks left by the guards who drew their swords and tried to cut off the bolt. It's just that this iron bolt is made of unknown materials, and it is particularly hard. The deepest sword mark also left only a centimeter deep on it. Looking at the width of twenty or thirty centimeters and the thickness of seven or eight centimeters, Lorist understood that it was not so easy and short-term to cut off these three iron deadbolts.

"Can you dig a big hole in these two iron doors?" asked Lorlist, reluctantly. Since there is no way to take the three iron door bolts for a while, then make a hole in the iron door and let the soldiers outside come in first.

"Your Highness, no, we tried. This iron door is a bit thick, and I can't pierce it with all my might, and I don't know what kind of material this iron door and iron bolt are made of, and it is so hard......" The guard replied, pointing to a sword mark on the iron door.

Only then did Lorist find that there were several sword marks at the lower end of the iron door on the left, and the deepest one had a small needle-like hole in the iron door, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion could be faintly seen outside the city. Tiger Ross also arrived, but there were only three rope ladders going up the city, and outside the city there was a crowd of crows.

Through this sword mark, Lorist found that the two iron doors were seven or eight centimeters thick, which was about the same thickness as the three iron bolts. Lorist would find it difficult, and he estimated that he should be able to cut the three iron deadbolts, but it might take a bit longer. It takes at least four or five strokes to cut an iron door bolt, and you also need to mobilize your whole body's strength, and it will take time to recover your spirit. But for me now, the most scarce thing is time, and if I waste my strength to cut off these three iron door bolts, then when the great swordsman in the city attacks, I will have no power to fight back.

In the distance, there was a long horn sound of "woo woo", which was the marching call. Lorist's face suddenly became solemn. Sure enough, Jost's warning voice came from the city: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the gate of the barracks in the western district is open, and a large group of people are rushing towards us, and there are still ten minutes to ....... the estimated arrival time."

Now I can't do my best to cut off the three iron door bolts, and I don't have that time. Don't even think about digging a big hole in the iron door, it takes more time than it takes to cut the iron deadbolt. Lorist smiled bitterly, this siege has not been smooth since it was discovered by the enemy, who would have thought that the Vicia Chamber of Commerce would replace the two city gates with such a hard iron gate, and even the fighting spirit and sword are not good, blocking the soldiers who are about to enter the city outside.

Lorist looked around, there were less than two hundred guards, although there were still people on the city wall, but there were two hundred guards divided into two teams to support Reddy, El, and the Great Sword Master of Theseus at both ends of the city wall, and there were less than five or six left. In the past half an hour, there were less than six hundred guards on the city wall, and the speed was too slow, and Lorist was a little discouraged.

Lorist motioned to Jost on the city wall, and asked him to tell the Tiger Ross, Malek, and Dorus outside the city to find another way to go up the city wall, and the city gate could not be opened for the time being. At the same time, the soldiers in the upper city should not rush down to the city to support themselves, and first find a way to unload the steel crossbows placed on the sleighs under the city and transport them to the city wall to be arranged, so as to help them defend themselves against the imminent enemy attack.

In addition, Lorist assigned two guards to send orders to Reddy, El, and Theseus Archswordsmen respectively, telling them not to rush to attack the enemy's defensive towers on the city walls, and to guard the towers that have been occupied by their own side so that they will not be seized by the enemy again. The situation of the battle changed unexpectedly, and it was no longer possible to act as originally planned. However, now that the northern wall has been occupied, even if the city gate cannot be opened, the family forces will continue to go up to the city. Lorist had great confidence in defeating the enemy and winning the final victory.

"Warwetch, you take a team of men and horses to search the two rows of stone houses to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and then collect some combustibles and pile them under the iron gates, and bake the fire on these two large iron gates, and then try to get the three iron deadbolts down. Lorist commanded.

Warrich is the eldest son of Viscount Edith, the acting governor of Winston Province, and is currently at the peak of the Silver Three-Star Peak, and Lorist estimates that he will be able to advance to the Gold rank within two or three years. After he and his younger brother Segers joined the guard battalion, they performed very well, rising from squad leader to deputy commander. His younger brother Segers later transferred to the Cavalry Hunting Regiment and was also a battalion commander.

"Yes, Your Highness. Warrich led nearly a hundred men and rushed towards the two rows of garrison barracks not far away.

Lorist instructed the remaining guards that the enemy would soon be coming, and that he would take the opportunity to look for some debris around the perimeter and pile up on the street to form a rudimentary barricade to block and divide the enemy's group charge. The guards moved quickly, and in a short time some miscellaneous bits and pieces were piled up on the street, and in order not to be overwhelmed by the enemy, they also found some cold water to pour on them, and the weather was very cold, and it was believed that they would freeze after a while, and then a barricade that could provide long-range defense was formed.

Well, the situation is completely reversed, and now it is Lorist who has to defend against the enemy's attack. It was about an hour after dawn and the upper city of Lorlist, and it had been nearly half an hour since the enemy discovered that the enemy was coming. This is enough time to find out which direction the incoming enemy is. Lorist had to admire the well-trained forces of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce, which reacted in such a quick time and sent reinforcements. It seems that a vicious battle is inevitable.

A dark crowd turned around the corner of the street in the distance, and the cold light of weapons flashed faintly. Although the sky was dark, Lorist could vaguely see that the crowd in the distance was all in black helmets and black armor, except for the first few rows of black shields holding half-human heights, all of them in the back were holding black spears four or five meters long.

"Heavily armored spearmen!" Lorlist's eyes froze, it seemed that the Vesia Chamber of Commerce had sent its elite Chamber of Commerce legion, preparing to seize the North City Gate and the city walls in one fell swoop.

Warrich withdrew with the guards who had gone to the stone house to search for them, armed with various wooden shelves, linen bedding, and some small wooden furniture, two of which were dragging two wooden bed boards. They ran as fast as they could into the doorway, piling up their contents under the two large iron doors. Warrich threw a canister of oil on top of the pile, and one of the guards next to him threw his torch on it, and the fire burst into flames.

"Warrich, you lead the guards behind the barricades to protect the fire under the city gates from being extinguished, and do not come up to support me, this is an order! Understood?" commanded Lorliste in a loud voice.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I understand. Warrich replied.

Lorist crossed the barricade, strode forward, walked fifty meters in front of the barricade, drew his sword, and faced the black crowd in the distance alone.

The heavy armor spearmen were getting closer and closer, and the footsteps were getting louder and more neat, but the speed of the heavy armor spearmen was also getting slower and slower, and when they were thirty or forty meters away from Lorlist, the soldiers holding shields in the front row finally stopped and were silent, bringing an indescribable pressure to Lorist and the guards behind him.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out......
