Chapter 257: It only lasted ten minutes

Naturally, there were guards on the walls of Worcesterburg, and when troops came from outside the city, they notified the city lord as soon as possible.

Worcesterburg was the fiefdom of the Leebowitz family, and Baron Werner von Leebwitz was worn-down with a series of intractable troubles.

After receiving the news, Werner calmed down and went to the castle tower, at the top of the tower, the view was wide, and it was easy to see the two teams of the 'Red Flag'.

One swooped down on the beastmen's side, the other toward the castle.

Werner's first reaction, this is an absolute elite unit.

The second reaction, the dwarves in the Black Mountains, sent a legion to help in the war?

How do the dwarves know what's going on here?

Besides, I don't have this friendship!

But who but the dwarves could have this level of heavy arming?

At this time, there were no telescopes, and no glass was invented, so Werner could only judge from experience that the members of this team were generally burly, and as for whether they were short or not, it was not easy to see whether they were riding in a state.

Then Werner and the others from Worcesterburg saw the charge launched by the Night Man. It's too far away, and I feel the mighty momentum, but I can see the characteristics of orderliness and flowing water.

For the beastmen, it was a thunderous charge of iron and fire.

The black armor and mounts are the color of iron, the red mantle is the color of fire, and the sound of running is the sound of approaching thunder.

The sound of five hundred horsemen drowned out the drums and roars of the beastmen, who had to use the low, majestic sound of their horns to stabilize the morale of the army.

For the beasts, there is no such thing as a warband or clan, but a herd of beasts.

They distinguish status by the size of the horns on their heads. The lowest of the human forms is called 'Ongol'.

Most of the Angols have only half a small horn of a small goat, which is called a bad horn, and their body is also on the thin side, a circle or two smaller than the average adult, they are half human and half beast, and their faces have bestial features, but they have not been exaggerated to the common cow, horse, and sheep heads, but the feet have become hooves.

The creatures had inferior spears in their hands, barely forming a gun formation to withstand the cavalry onslaught they thought would happen next.

Not far away, the first-grade Gore herd on the Biangol ladder was hilariously holding a long ladder. The ladder was clearly prepared for the siege, and now it is acting as a dam to hold back the flood.

However, Gore at least has the appearance of a warrior in terms of physique and equipment, imagine those barbarians with hand axes and sticks, they are like that, sheep's head, horse head, ox head, with a mouth of knife teeth that are specially designed to tear flesh and skin, and the horns on the head are also very developed, the average size is 180CM, and the weight is basically more than 210 pounds, this body can be called a man even in modern Europe.

As a result, Yeman did not break straight through, but spread out to both sides at a distance of about 100 meters.

The night barbarians are ten columns, and this expansion has become five on the left and right, and fifty people on the cross plane, and because of the deliberate adjustment of the running speed, the cross plane continues to lengthen, so that there is a level dislocation.

The end result was that the Nightman used the diagonal flanks of the column to attack the whole of the Beastmen troops, thus gaining a better range of fire.

This was followed by a wave of deadly fire.

This is not an ordinary hand crossbow, a cross crossbow, or a large crossbow, but a scorpion crossbow, or a portable bed crossbow.

This weapon has been modified by modern magic, and the range has been increased from 370 meters of ordinary scorpion crossbows to nearly 600 meters, and the effective damage has increased from 100 meters to 180 meters.

It is definitely not comparable to the heavy bed crossbow with the thickness of the arm and the weight of the six or seven people from 300 meters away, but the crossbow arrow is also the thickness of the index finger, and it is more than enough to shoot a target within 100 meters.

'Buzz!'

As if the locusts were crossing the air, a wave of crossbow arrows flew out, and the array of beastmen was immediately miserable, and more than two hundred arrows fell to the ground.

In the past, even if he was shot by a feathered arrow, he could still break the arrow or continue to fight after pulling the arrow, but this time he also stopped eating.

The crossbow arrows are thick, powerful, and sharp, and there are not a few who are shot out of a bloody hole.

At the same time, the night barbarians were shaking the winch almost in unison, and the scorpion crossbow was wound.

The low frequency of firing is considered a disadvantage of using a scorpion crossbow.

And even with a gear winch, the thick magic string is not something that ordinary people can pull apart, it requires a lot of strength, after all, this weapon is usually a bed crossbow operated by 2-3 people on the ground.

The Beastmen are by no means stupid enough to recognize the danger of life and death, their intelligence is not bad, and because of this, a wave of powerful blows woke them up!

Many of the beastmen realized that it was impossible for the Night Barbarians to rush up and fight them, and that if they didn't do something about it, they would be wiped out by a rain of arrows.

The shamans among the beastmen directly shook the staff tied to the skull, blessed Ongol and Gore with bloodthirsty magic, and the military leader led the beasts to howl and charge.

There is no rule, but the momentum is okay, after all, the number can be a thousand and hundred. Looking at the past from a parallel perspective, it can be regarded as a surge of people, ghosts crying wolves, and demons dancing wildly.

In addition, the beastmen also have some marksmen, and these few shooters shoot one arrow after another in a frizzy manner, which looks like random shooting.

In this era, 100 meters is really not close, not to mention that people who know a little bit know that the accuracy and power of the bow and arrow largely depend on the arrow, not the bow, and with the manual skills of the beastmen, hehe, that do, the arrow is more than 100 meters, one is not accurate, and the other is not powerful.

Ignoring the momentum of the beasts' charges, the Nightman ignored the sporadic arrow strikes, and continued to run diagonally on their mounts as they wound up in an orderly manner.

It seems to take some time for the beasts to rush over, and the diagonal running of the cavalry can extend this time considerably. And that means more rounds of scorpion strikes.

'Buzz!'

The rain of arrows of death did not cover the sky and the sun, they fell like rain, they flew straight to the sky, like a black electric snake, and from the air, it was like a black energy shock wave, a wave down, people turned on their backs. Give the beast people the feeling that this is not archery, this is javelin!

'Buzz!'

After the third wave of crossbow strikes, the beastmen's herd had collapsed.

The scene was so tragic that there was no possibility of protection at all.

Among the beastmen, there are Angol guards with axes and shields, and the wooden shields in their hands are directly shot through or even exploded, and then the remaining power of the crossbow arrows can still shoot through the rough-skinned beastmen.

It's basically impossible to play, they don't even have iron armor, and it's good to have an iron piece tied to your body as a heart guard.

There are also some mid-to-high-level troops among the Beastmen, such as the two teams of Beasthoof Gore, a twisted and demonized centaur divided into axe-throwers and guards.

They were ordered by the warlord to assault at full speed, while the warlord, the warlord, and the shaman tried to restrain the herd as much as possible, and broke through behind the beast's hoof.

Yes, just over 10 minutes into the battle, the Beastmen had already thrown in the towel and decided to break out.

As Kane had expected, they intended to run further east into the woods.

However, it was about 6 kilometers away, and to the beastmen, it was the road of death.

However, since Kane had already ambushed Selene in the woods, Maria naturally would not force an interception. Under her command, Nightman gradually became 10 teams of 50 people operating in their own way. For enemies that have collapsed, the Night Barbarians can fight more daringly.

Of course, even in white-knuckle combat, the barbarians are not scared at all. The swords are sharp, the war beasts are fast, and the night barbarians are not afraid of death. However, Maria will not be tough because the Night Man can fight, she is following the characteristics of the Night Man, giving full play to its advantages as much as possible, and at the same time exercising her command ability.

Due to the special command system, Maria's control over the deployment is far more sophisticated than the communication methods of the flags and horns of this era, and she even has a command interface similar to the battlefield situation map, which is of course a spell eagle from the sky.

In addition, Maria can be precise enough to give different orders to each individual, but this is undoubtedly a challenge for her. It's mostly a matter of habit.

Divinity had given her the ability to multitask, but personal habits had become an obstacle, and she was now trying to outwit several squads at the same time, rather than commanding 500 individuals at the same time.

Gore the Beasthoof chased after a group of Nightmans and threw his axe. Before that, they had already suffered two rounds of fire, and they had suffered heavy casualties, all thanks to the excitement of killing the red eye.

But after this wave of throwing axes, the excitement couldn't be resisted, and the flying axes didn't cause any damage to the night man at all, most of them fell directly, and the few landing points were clever, and the damage caused was not significant.

How can this be fought?

The Guardians of Gore are still trying, they hold long-handled machetes in both hands, and they usually fight human knights, and they have the opportunity to chop the opponent off their horses, or directly chop the horses to death.

It's a pity that this time they were taken care of by the night man.

Although they are large creatures and have stronger resistance to blows, they can't carry three arrows.

The power of the scorpion crossbow is indeed fierce, especially it is equipped with various types of arrows, like to deal with these unarmored ones, naturally they will not use armor-piercing arrows, but swallow-wing blade arrows that can create large wounds and have barbs.

Although the beastmen are wild and warlike, and can fight to the death when they are crazy, they also have morale, after all, they are intelligent creatures with emotions.

In the face of the terrifying shooting effect of the scorpion crossbow, the beasts, who are known to be not afraid of bloody scenes, are inevitably heartbroken.

Or, as soon as it came up, it caused a one-sided slaughter scene, directly instigated the beastmen, and did not give them the opportunity to set off the atmosphere, and they were fanatical and not afraid of death because of the hearty bloody battle.

At this time, Kane and his party, which were advancing towards Worcesterburg, were gradually approaching the core area of the Barony of Worcester.

In Kane's eyes, this is a typical medieval baronial core domain.

The Baron's Castle is on a small dirt hill, which is not dangerous, but at least it is condescending.

The settlement of the people's houses, on the other hand, was some distance from the castle, hundreds of meters, which reflected both class differences and military considerations.

The area outside the castle is open and empty, and no trees are allowed, which is convenient for observation and heavy weapons.

And the dwellings, either not far from the river or not far from the road.

Worcesterburg is a riverfront.

The Oren River, flowing from northwest to southwest, enters the sub-forest where the family of four was saved. Even that forest is called the Oren Woodland, which shows the importance of the river in this era, the source of life.

Residential settlements, the houses are built arbitrarily and messily, except for the avenue leading to the castle, the houses are rowed and relatively concentrated, and there is no other rule to speak of.

Now, the houses are clearly half-in ruins after a looting and vandalism.

Kane has always been attentive to details, and this time was no different.

Along the way, he found that there were no large dots of stone on the surface.

Now we know where they go.

Castle façade.

The inland barony does not need to spend manpower and money on interior and exterior walls.

But there is obviously a need here, beastmen, greenskins, robbers, often haunted, without enough good protection, it is difficult to farm with peace of mind.

He guessed that the outer walls of Worcesterburg should not be the result of a generation. Although it is not a circle around the castle in the ordinary sense, but an area that stretches out, it is still a considerable project for the productivity of this era.

Indeed, if you get close enough, you may be able to deduce from the color of the stones, the growth of weeds, etc., that the wall has not only been repaired over the years, but also many times.

Whether it is the lord or the people, they have paid a lot for a better survival, and this long wall is a witness.

It is also one of the great features of the Sol Territory - the castle is compact and strong, and the outer walls are equally solid and reliable, both of which are qualified military installations.

Kane was watching and thinking on his mount when Hermione approached on his mount. "Kane, Leonie invited us to join us in Worcesterburg. ”
