Chapter 467: Solving the Crisis
With a "click", the barrel of the gun stuck in the wall suddenly broke, and the lancers who were climbing up let out a short exclamation and fell firmly on the solid snow below, and fell unconscious on the spot. He was only two steps away from www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion and was able to climb the city wall, fall from a height of more than seven meters, and it was normal for him to fall unconscious.
"This is the forty-seventh fall......" Dorres shook his head and smiled bitterly. Plans are plans, and no one could have imagined that the city gates would not be opened. In the original plan, after seizing the city wall and opening the city gate, the Flying Tiger Legion immediately launched an attack on the Vicia Chamber of Commerce Legion in Xicheng District, annihilating or forcing the enemy's main legion with lightning and thunder, and then the royal city of Fedeliga fell into the hands of the Norton family like a ripe fruit.
But who would have thought that the Vesia Chamber of Commerce would cast such two large iron gates, blocking the way of the Flying Tiger Legion into the city. Lorist and the others seized the city wall and entered the city alone, but they were besieged by the heavy troops of the Vesian Chamber of Commerce. When they heard the order from the city wall that the city gate could not be opened, and let the Flying Tiger Legion find another way to enter the city, Tiger Ross and Dorus, as well as Marek, who came later, scolded their mothers together......
Because they were going to enter the city through the city gate, no one prepared any other tools to climb the city. There are three rope ladders hanging from the city wall. But the problem is that this rope ladder was brought by the guard battalion, Lorist brought 2,000 guards this time, and only about 1,000 have only gone up until now, and there are still 1,000 guards waiting in a long line under the city, and in this case, no one can get the guards to let the rope ladder out.
Tiger Ross couldn't help it, and he couldn't do anything without the tools to climb the city walls. Originally, I wanted to hang a few long ropes down for the soldiers to climb up the city wall, but I didn't expect that the water vapor on the city wall in winter formed a layer of thin ice, which was cold and smooth, and it was impossible to climb the nine-meter-high city wall with a single rope. In the end, the three of them discussed, Malek went to arrange for the soldiers to collect all the ropes on the sleigh and weave rope ladders, Dorres was responsible for maintaining order, and Tiger Ross commanded the brave men of the Flying Tiger Legion to use the spears of the spears of the silver ranks to build a ladder to the city to go up to the city with the cavalry guns of the lancers. It is said that the Vicia Chamber of Commerce Legion has attacked, and now it is a good one.
It's a pity that the guns that were forcibly inserted into the city wall by the silver master with fighting spirit were a little unbearable, and a lancer even had at least more than a hundred kilograms of equipment. The thick barrel of the gun can still hold on at first, but after about 20 people, it can't stand and is easy to break. Five or six hundred lancers went up, but more than forty fell from the city because of the broken barrel of their guns......
The most annoying thing is that the following is still trying to get more soldiers to go to the city for reinforcements, but what is the shouting from the city...... It turned out to be that the sword and shield soldiers of the Rock Legion went up first, the longbowmen went first, and asked the lancers not to come up first, etc......
Tiger Rose was furious, what the hell, let the Rock Legion go first, then what face do we have for the Flying Tiger Legion, don't say anything, I climbed into the city. And the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion under the city no matter how they shouted from above, they were still crawling when they should be climbing, and they were still falling down if they should have fallen......
"How many of our steel crossbows have been sent?" asked Dorus.
"My lord, the thirty-seven steel crossbows that have just been dismantled from the sleigh have been hung on ropes and pulled up, and they are still ......being dismantled under the city walls," said the legion clerk who was holding a folder next to him and was writing something in charcoal.
"Well, let the archer team that has already gone to the city immediately place the steel crossbow at the head of the city, and help His Highness repel the enemy's attack first. Dorles said.
"But, but my lord, all we sent to the city wall were steel crossbows, and the crossbow arrows were still behind and were not sent to the bottom of the city wall, and now there are steel crossbows and no crossbow arrows on ......the city wall," the clerk replied.
Alas, it's terrible, this mess is really a headache, and the current situation is all unexpected, and it's hard to find a clue. As far as the eye can see, there are all human heads outside the north city wall, and the black crows can't see the edge, but every time they climb the city wall, there are only a dozen or twenty soldiers, and the speed of reinforcements in the upper city is too slow.
"Pass my order," Dorres commanded, "the waiting troops split up and let the sled carts carrying the crossbow arrows reach the city walls first, and ensure the supply and support of the crossbow arrows." On the other side of the city wall, the twenty crossbow arrows that were loaded on the sleigh cart were collected and sent to the city wall, so that the steel crossbows that had been sent to the city could be used first. In addition, let the 12th Battalion of the Legion cut down trees and build a ladder to climb the city, the speed of going up to the city is too slow now......"
Before he could finish speaking, another gun broke on the edge of the wall, and the climbing soldier fell down with a scream.
"By the way, I remember that the shafts of the crossbows are made of iron, so go and get a bundle and let the people who climb in front of you use the arrows to make a ladder, which should be stronger than the barrel of the gun. Dorus grabbed a random guard and went to find a crossbow bolt and came back.
Malek returned with a wry smile: "The ropes tied to the sleigh are not very long, and I suspect that the rope ladders that are connected and woven in this way are not very strong. And it takes at least two hours to weave a rope ladder more than nine meters long, which is too slow. ”
"My lord, we might as well pile up a snow slope and go up to the city, after all, there are so many people waiting under the city, everyone can get a big snow brick to pile up at the head of the city, and there is snow everywhere, and the snow bricks can be ...... quickly," said the clerk next to him.
"That's a good idea. "Seventy or eighty thousand horses and horses should stay and wait under the city and let them all go and get snow bricks, and one of them can be piled up at the head of the city, and then make a hole in the moat, get some water to pour on it, and remove the planks of the sleigh and put them on the steps, which will soon be ...... in less than an hour."
There was a scream on the city wall, and Dorus and Malek looked up in shock, only to see the sword light on the city wall, and screams again and again.
"No, how did the enemy attack the city? I'll go up and take a look, Dorres, you will immediately organize men to build a snow slope......" Malek galloped towards the city wall.
......
"It's over......" Jost could only hold the green longbow in his hand in front of his chest, but he no longer had any hope of blocking the sword light from the great swordsman's attack.
A fierce smile appeared on the face of the flying great swordsman, as long as he killed this golden archer who could cause big trouble, then there would be no difficulty in killing and scattering hundreds of enemies on the city wall to recapture the city wall......
A spear with a golden sword stabbed diagonally into the right rib of the Great Swordsman, and if the Great Swordsman insisted on killing Jost, then he himself would not be severely injured by this spear. The great swordsman was helpless, so he put away his sword and returned to protect it, and with a "Zheng" sound, the head of the spear that flew from the stabbing was cut in half.
Jost escaped death, crawled back more than ten meters, and drew his bow and arrows towards the great sword master. But he saw that Tiger Rose, who had just saved his life, was already fighting fiercely with the great swordsman who rushed to the city, roaring again and again. Although Tiger Rose fell into disadvantage in the face of the Great Swordsman, it was impossible for the Great Swordsman to take him down for a while, not to mention that Jost had already closed the distance, and the green longbow aimed at the Great Swordsman made him jealous, and he had to leave some spare strength in his hand to prevent Jost from suddenly throwing cold arrows......
Among the sixteen current Golden Knights of the Norton family, Tiger Rose is recognized as the number one in force. Bodfinger, who is the best at defensive swordsmanship, said that if you concentrate on defense, it is okay to draw with Tiger Rose, but you don't have to think about defeating him. Even Lorist said that Tiger Ross is the most likely Golden Knight to be promoted to a first-class Great Sword Master in the next three years, and he is currently at the peak of the Golden Three-Star Rank, but he has not yet found an opportunity to be promoted to a Great Sword Master.
This great swordsman of the Vethia Chamber of Commerce Legion should have only been promoted for a year or two, and although his swordsmanship was fast and ferocious, it was not yet mellow and could be used freely. Tiger Ross had just gone to the city and saw him pounce on Jost, and hurriedly snatched a spear and stabbed him with a stab to save Jost's life, and then drew his sword and fought with him. At the beginning, I suffered a little loss from the contact, and I was scratched with two small wounds on my body. But after a long confrontation, he quickly became familiar with the other party's swordsmanship, and with Jost drawing the bow in the back, the great swordsman slowly fell into disadvantage.
At this time, the stone staircase of the upper city on the left had been lost, and the heavily armored spearmen of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce were pouring upward. Fortunately, the left city wall is where the cavalry went up to the city, although there is a tower in the middle, but as soon as the five or six hundred lancers saw that the guards were killed and the stone staircase was lost, they hurriedly rushed over the tower to come to the rescue, and the section of the city wall in front of the stone staircase was splashed with blood and flesh, and the corpses were all over the ground.
Tiger Ross and the Great Swordsman of the Vesia Chamber of Commerce fought fiercely above the North City Gate, separated by more than twenty meters from the stone staircase of the upper city on the left. Now the great swordsman was complaining in his heart, and he rushed up the city wall to kill Jost and remove the threat of the archers to his side. Unexpectedly, a tiger Rose was killed halfway, not only saved the life of the sharpshooter, but also fought with himself. But the sharpshooter opened the distance, bent his bow and arrows to eyeing him, so that his swordsmanship could not be used, and he was forced by a golden knight to parry and defend, and he didn't know when to wait for the reinforcements of the heavily armored spearmen behind......
Having finally repelled the charge of the heavily armored spearmen, Lorist was a bloody man, gasping for breath as he leaned against the tattered barricades. The attacking Fifth Heavy Armored Spearmen Brigade of the Vician Chamber of Commerce retreated with less than two hundred lucky lost souls, and more than 800 heavy armored spearmen were reduced to blood and corpses on the ground. Although Lorist was unharmed, it took a lot of effort, and there were only about fifty of the more than two hundred family guards still standing, and the rest were either dead or wounded, even the deputy commander Warrich also injured his left arm.
The establishment of the Visia Chamber of Commerce Legion is 45,000 men, divided into four corps and a logistics garrison regiment of 5,000 men. After receiving the alarm of the enemy attack, a heavy armored spearman regiment was sent to retake the northern city gate. Lorist estimated that they had also sent two other corps to the east and west gates, after all, Reddy and El, as well as the Great Swordsman of Theseus, had attacked the towers on the city walls in the east and west directions, respectively, and the Vesia Chamber of Commerce had to be cautious until the details of the incoming enemy were ascertained. Then they should still have a corps and logistics garrison battalion to sit in Xicheng District and serve as a reserve.
Laugh bitterly, it's really infuriating that a good raid turned out to be like this. The enemy sent a regiment of heavily armored spearmen to recover the northern gate and city walls, and in addition to four brigades to attack the two stone stairs on the left and right, he faced six brigades on his side. Although the fifth armored spearmen brigade was defeated, there were five more brigades of 5,000 enemies. If it weren't for the fact that the area of the street forced the enemy to be unable to deploy his forces and could only come up one by one, then his own men and horses would have been wiped out long ago......
The horn sounded, and the enemy in the distance changed a brigade and organized a battle formation of three hundred people to attack again, apparently not wanting to leave time for his side to rest. There is no way, there are only 50 guards who can still fight, most of them are still lightly injured, and the seriously injured guards will be moved to the edge of the city gate. The most terrible thing is the three iron bolts on the two big iron doors, the bottom one has been roasted by the fire for half an hour and can be twitched, the middle one can be knocked but can't be opened, and the top iron bolt is not moving, it should not be roasted by the fire, this is really a desperate way out.
Lorist can also guarantee that he can evacuate safely, but what should these guards who follow him do, just give up? For a moment, Lorist had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to decide.
The defeat of the Fifth Heavy Armored Spearmen Brigade had confirmed the identity and ability of the Archswordsman of Lorist on the part of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce. The three hundred-man formations that launched the attack again were more closely formed, more cautious, and more consistent. Behind them, there was the same battle formation of seven hundred people, and they were slowly approaching step by step......
Malek flipped onto the ramparts, and he understood the situation at a glance, but instead of rushing to the aid of Tiger Rose and Jost, he drew his sword and rushed at the heavily armored spearmen rushing up the stone stairs on the left. With his joining, the spears who were defending were strengthened, and soon killed more than 100 enemies who rushed up the city wall, and then held the stone staircase entrance to the city wall.
Only then did Malek walk unhurriedly towards the fierce tiger Rose and the great swordsman of the Vesian Chamber of Commerce, the long sword in his hand snorting with uncertain golden swords. The great swordsman panicked, this is equivalent to three golden knights besieging him, not to mention that the golden knight who is holding on to him has superb swordsmanship and can fight a draw with himself, let's just say that the golden archer in the distance who does not draw the bow is the biggest threat to himself. Now there's another Golden Knight, and if I don't leave, I won't be able to leave......
The long sword in the hand of the Great Swordsman and the heavy sword of Tiger Rose flashing with golden swords slammed together, moving sideways. Sure enough, as soon as his whole body was exposed, he heard a "buzz" string sound, and the three-point cold star was already in front of him. What a great swordsman, leaning forward and backward, three sharp arrows grazed his chest in an instant.
The great swordsman's heart was wide, he had already found out that Joost was holding three long arrows in his hand when he drew the bow, and now that the three arrows were gone, the archer had lost the threat, and it would take time to bend the bow and draw the arrows again, and he only needed a few moments to retreat......
As soon as he stepped forward, there was a "flutter" sound like defeat, and the great swordsman was stunned, looking at the end of the feather arrow inserted in his chest, his eyes widened in disbelief: "How, how is it possible, yes, it's four, four arrows......"
", Joe, how did you rob me of the credit!" said Tiger Rose, with a sad face.
Joost sat on the snow at the head of the city, tired from aiming for so long, and he didn't have the strength to speak.
With a swing of Malek's long sword, the great swordsman who was hit by the arrow was cut in two. Then he raised his sword and shouted at the steel crossbow and soldiers who were hanging on the wall on the left wall: "Hurry up and move the steel crossbow, hurry up!"
