Chapter 19: The Seven-Day War (8/10)

"Drive, drive, hurry, hurry!"

The horses galloped, like the wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not far from the Xicheng district, a cavalry force of twenty men managed to attract the attention of the two main forces of the Fries.

With the help of the movement of the horses under their hips, the cavalry squad was luring the Frisians to the only "Canggu Corridor" in the West Side.

King of Phries, King Humbos, led his own 2,000 soldiers, and 3,000 soldiers of the left general Phosius. The two forces converged into an extremely powerful army, and at this moment, they were already besieging Xicheng District like a dark cloud. And as they got closer and closer to Xicheng District, the British troops stationed in the city became more and more nervous.

"Ahahahaha, British debris!

The large Friesian army in Ulala had no organization or formation, but the sheer superiority in numbers was enough to form a formidable force. They were led by 3,000 infantry led by Phoseus, supported by King Henbos.

The British knights hurried through the first level of the "Long Valley Corridor", and then galloped through the wider gap and called out to the high walls on either side.

"The enemy enters the urn - the enemy enters the urn - !!"

The white flag horse, after running more than a hundred meters with the knights, turned around and entered a dark corner, and then a hidden secret door was opened and all the knights were put into the city.

Three thousand Frisians had already arrived in the city at this time, but the Changgu Corridor was only four meters wide, and it was naturally impossible for thousands of troops to enter at one time with a length of more than 100 meters.

Theseus didn't care about that, he took a closer look at the walls around him. It was found that there were barbs erected on the top of those walls, and they were several meters high, and the height of the wall itself was almost about eight meters, which was already one or two meters higher than the ladder they carried.

Moreover, Xicheng District is the most defended war zone in the entire city defense construction, in addition to digging a tunnel several meters wide in the inner city wall like the first defense circle, it is also full of wooden stakes. In addition, in the inner city, Char used the surplus wasteland to build an additional three-meter-high wall.

The fence is in the shape of a mouthpiece, and is connected to the tall wooden frame built at the rear of the Hase Corridor. If necessary, the archers and pikemen stationed on the tall wooden frames could be transferred to the second wall for defensive operations at any time.

The Friesian general Theseus pointed his sword straight at the Canggu Corridor.

"--Kill !!!"

"Whoa, whoa!," the three thousand Phosios immediately roared and scattered in all directions, and they divided into two forces to attack the walls and the interior of the valley.

And most surprisingly, King Henbos in the rear actually stood still, apparently thinking about how to attack when the enemy was at his most vulnerable.

The enemy suddenly divided their forces to attack on both sides, and they not only stared at the corridor of Hase, but even wanted to complete the offensive of the two sides by breaking through the city walls in one fell swoop.

It has to be said that they did make full use of the numerical advantage, and this combat tactic was a direct and lethal threat to the sparsely manned side.

The soldiers led by Phautius carried ladders to the city walls, and then used the ladders to climb to the top of the city walls and raised their weapons to cut down all the troublesome wooden spears that stretched outward by manpower, clearing a path.

The people of Phosius were fast, and they were cutting down far faster than the Britons had expected.

It took less than ten minutes for the four ladder troops to clear the barrier on the city walls, and then about a thousand Friesian soldiers began to climb through the ladders into the inner city.

Afterwards......

They suffered the same accident as the first defense circle, and what was worse was that the first defense circle did not have a second city wall, but this was the most dense place in the entire city defense project in Xicheng District.

So when the first Phries crossed the city walls. They were at a loss to find that there was no way down here.

As early as the construction of the city defense in Xicheng District, Char had already ordered the soldiers to block all the roads leading to the city wall. Only a secret passage was left to climb the city walls. But last night, Char had already sealed the secret passage.

So now there are only two options left for the Phries who have already climbed the walls, either jump straight down, or turn around and attack through the Canggu Corridor and fight inside.

"Jump!!Slaughter those Britannica mincus!!"

"Ahhh

Almost without hesitation, the soldiers of Phosus jumped from the wall more than three meters high, which was barely a threat in their eyes. Especially for the Friesian people, who were born and raised in the mountains, it is almost common to run and jump back and forth between various mountains every day.

At the same time, another force of Phoseus entered the Canggu Corridor.

Phoseus personally led the charge forward, and in his eyes there was nothing to stop the progress of his army. Moreover, the fact that Phosius personally led the charge as the commander only increased the morale of the Phries, who, like a raging river, vowed to break down the small defensive encirclement of the Britons in one fell swoop.

It's just that when they entered the Canggu Corridor, they suddenly found that the corridor was not only dirt and ashes, but also artificially sprinkled with a lot of firewood and branches......

But the Phries didn't care about this, and they made a desperate all-out assault!

..............................

From the tower of the tower, Char saw this.

"Oh, are you quite brainy, miscellaneous soldiers? But I didn't expect that the pit trap that had already worked in the first defense circle could still be useful in the second defense of the West City...... It seems that the update of battlefield tactical intelligence is also very important. Another herald system should be developed, preferably by sound. ”

However, considering that the British army has not yet fully accepted the flag language, it is better to put this idea aside for now. Char thought so.

"-- Order, the enemies who broke into the walls of the city to defend them dragged them there. The Knights of the Round Table were ordered to ascend the Second Wall, and Lancelot continued to be in charge of the main command of the Canggu Corridor. In addition, a banner was sent out to let King Arthur lead a hundred pikemen to prepare to fight into the enemy's ranks! With King Arthur's force, he should be able to buy enough time. ”

"At the same time, put the royal flag high so that the Friesians on the opposite side can see it clearly!"

"Eh, Char-sama, to... Do you want the king to go to the front line himself?" asked the SS soldier next to him in surprise. "Didn't you say before that the king is the last hole card, and it must not be easily released until the last second?"

Hearing the question, Char slowly turned his head, staring at the SS soldier who dared to ask questions without permission.

Those tyrannical and cold eyes clearly conveyed a meaning - the will of heaven!

"No, I'm very, very sorry Char-sama!

The SS soldier was so frightened by Char's eyes that he even wondered if he would be kicked off the tower by Char for a second longer. In fact, his idea was right, if he dared to continue to question or even stay for a second longer, Char would not hesitate to take his head as a sacrifice.

"-Hmph, miscellaneous soldiers. Char snorted slightly and withdrew his cold gaze.

....................................

"The enemy has divided his forces!!"

A British archer on a tall wooden stand shouted a reminder to his allies.

At this moment, Lancelot, dressed in black armor, had already strode onto the wooden frame, and then he looked out. Immediately, I saw the Fries, who were divided into two armies outside the city, and their total number was about 3,000, half of them attacked the head of the city wall, and the other half had entered the corridor of Long Valley.

Lancelot frowned slightly.

"Char's prediction seems to have gone wrong, the enemy didn't all enter the Canggu Corridor, but divided into two ways to outflank us. Well, I'll have to laugh at him when I get back to this matter......"

Thinking about it, Lancelot immediately ordered: "Archers!!Go to the second city wall to prepare for defense." ”

The first, second, and third defense forces are ready. The 4th Einsatzpen is ready!"

Lancelot calmly and calmly mobilized his troops.

And at this moment, suddenly an archer stationed on the elevated highway shouted again.

"Lord Lancelot! Towerβ€”there's a new order on the tower!"

Lancelot looked up at the sound.

Sure enough, a white flag was waving in the wind. And that flag was different from other colored flags, it was the flag of the King of Britain. A white background with gold stripes on a fierce and majestic lion and a vertical sword.

"Command King Arthur...... Lead a hundred spears into the corridor of the Canggu and hold back the enemy......?"

Lancelot's first reaction when he saw this order was to go up to the tower to find Char's life. Nima, thousands of enemy armies below are storming the city defenses, and you still want to put the most precious king in the most dangerous place, isn't this pure intention to let King Arthur use the enemy as bait?!

Well?

Bait?

A flash of light flashed through Lancelot's mind.

Lancelot narrowed his lilac eyes slightly, and secretly guessed some of Char's thoughts.

..............................

On the tower, Char clasped her arms over her chest. He looked at the two enemy forces scattered there in the western city, and King Henbos, who still had two thousand soldiers in the rear.

Obviously, King Henbos intends to use his forces to deplete his own strength, and then use the remaining 2,000 troops to make a final throw when the two sides are exhausted by each other.

However, with such a low-level tactical means, how could Char let him get what he wanted?

Since you don't want to put all your troops into a desperate gamble, then you don't have to be polite on my side. Use the royal flag as a means to attract attention, and King Arthur as the superior bait. The king's personal expedition will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, especially King Henbos, who hates King Arthur to the core, will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

While this is a bit too dangerous, a tactic without risk is not a true battlefield tactic.

The rapid fall of the previous First Defense Ring is the best proof of this. There is no foolproof strategy on the battlefield, and only adjustment and planning anytime and anywhere can guide the troops to victory. Especially in such a situation of disparity in strength, the necessary risky tactics are a must.

"β€”Ordered to go down on foot, and let all the soldiers stationed in Xicheng chant Arthur's name. Focus the enemy's attention on King Arthur and draw King Henbos into making the decision to go all-in. Char said. "And then let the Einsatzgruppen push that thing out, and let King Arthur stand on top of that thing to attract enemy troops, although it is still a little dangerous, but it is much better than killing it herself." ”

As soon as the order was given, an SS member behind him immediately turned around and ran down the tower to deliver the order.

The current flag language is not yet complex to that extent, so some complex commands still need to be passed manually.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"-- The Enemy Strikes !!"

More than fifteen hundred Frithians in the Canggu corridor were killed. They followed the four-meter-high walls on either side of the Long Valley Corridor and rushed all the way to the depths of the corridor. Along the way, they didn't even see the shadow of a British soldier. Even they thought they were unstoppable.

But it was at this time that suddenly a strange thing appeared at the end of the road and blocked their way.

I saw that the thing was six meters high, and the body was extremely wide, just occupying the entire corridor passage. There are also two wheels underneath this thing for propulsion, but because of its heavy weight, it travels extremely slowly.

More than two dozen British pikemen hid behind the "Scorpio 1 - Street Chariot". This train of vehicles was specially developed to coincide with the Canggu Corridor and was built by Lancelot himself (commanded by Char~).

"Hey, what's that?"

"I don't know, but it looks like it's heavy and hard. ”

"Hey, don't stop in front, there's someone in the back squeezing forward!!"

In front of this street fighting chariot that suddenly appeared and was covered with a layer of iron in front of the front of the car. The momentum of the Phries' charge was temporarily stopped. After all, it was the first time they had seen what was in front of them, so the Frithians were a little surprised and amazed.

However, with the roar of Phoseus, who personally led the troops, came: "Bastard! all rush to Lao Tzu! Whoever dares to stop, I will eat him raw tonight!!"

The roar was bursting, and the frightened Friesian soldiers were terrified.

They hurriedly ran again, pulling the team that had been out of breath again.

However, to their surprise, it was when they approached the monster chariot. Suddenly, there were more than a dozen black holes in the chariot. And this is only the central body, and the wing-like planks that spread out to the sides also show such holes, and there are about twenty of them together.

At this moment, there was a neat roar from behind the car!

"For Great Britain! For King Arthur!!"

It was as if it had touched some mechanism, and it was as if it had caused some kind of mutation.

Suddenly, the previously quiet and silent corridor of Hase looked like boiling water.

The deafening roar of British soldiers could be heard in all directions.

"Kill all the Phries, glory to Great Britain!!"

Poof!

Poof~!

More than twenty spears suddenly burst out from behind the body, and the wooden spears about four meters long were just enough to pass through the three-meter-long body, and they were also very effective in preventing the enemy from counterattacking.

"Ahhh Then they were even more horrified to find that flags had suddenly been erected on the surrounding walls, and they were tattooed with the banners of King Arthur's personal guards.

"Ambush!!It's an ambush!!"

"Enemies appear from both flanks!!"

"It's an archer!!"

"Attack!!Attack!!"

The secret doors on both sides of the city wall were suddenly opened, and King Arthur himself led four knights of the round table and more than 300 SS soldiers to fight out.

King Arthur, armed with the golden sword, is just like the rumors, and every battle must be the first to boost morale. With each swing of her sword, there was a golden glow, like the glow that guided the people of Britain in the darkness of the night.

And I don't know if it was providence or coincidence, the enemy general Phoseus was very unlucky to face the four Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur, the ultimate big BOOS-level figure. As a result, he didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was cut into meat sauce by the four Knights of the Round Table who had already recognized him!

"You and I cover the king's right flank, Gareth, Ranmaroke covers the king's left flank!"

Dressed in white knight's armor, Gawain fought fiercely, and he slashed into the enemy camp like a white whirlwind, slashing all the Frithians who approached King Arthur's side with a sharp sword!

At the same time, Gawain did not forget to loudly order the other Knights of the Round Table to take care of the king's left and right wings. After all, because of the aristocratic affairs, there was a conflict between him and Lancelot, and Lancelot thought that Gawain was too biased towards the aristocracy and began to gradually raise his mind, which made Gawain, who was bent on getting the king's approval, very frustrated.

Therefore, Gawain decided to use this battle to prove it to Lancelot. He, Gawain, was indeed on the same side as the noble alliance for a reason of necessity. But that was a political choice, and on the battlefield he Gawain would always be a Knight of the Round Table who would only be loyal to King Arthur!

........................

The Friesian forces were cut in two by the Knights of the Round Table, and the rear troops had to face the courageous Knights of the Round Table and three hundred SS troops. At the same time, they have to deal with arrows and stones that are constantly being shot from the surrounding walls.

The troops on the front line were stopped by a hundred pikemen led by two other Knights of the Round Table, as well as the Scorpio Street Fighting Chariot. The pikemen hid behind the chariots and kept a steady advance, a large number of Phriesians fell under the spears, and many others were killed by the Knights of the Round Table.

Indeed, the Frisians were very good at melee combat and were unusually fierce.

However, if they want to fight the Knights of the Round Table, they have undoubtedly chosen the wrong opponent.

Don't forget, this group of Knights of the Round Table was able to wipe out the elite Phrysian hoplites with a few hundred family cavalry, and now let them and a group of ordinary Phrysian soldiers with no equipment, no training, and no coordination. Although it was impossible for them to kill all of these more than 3,000 Phries, it was only a matter of time before they could eliminate these Fries, combined with the tactics of Shang Char and the other 800 British soldiers stationed in Xicheng District.

But - there are always surprises, don't they?

Hundreds of meters away, there was a roar of infinite anger and humiliation.

"King Arthur!! return my Guards!! I'm going to tear you alive and eat your !!!"

........................

On the tower, Char saw King Humbos, who was irritated by the appearance of King Arthur, and launched the final general attack without hesitation.

Char subconsciously touched his chin.

"Hmm...... I feel that King Arthur's ability to attract hatred is quite powerful. ”

Char thought for a moment. This is the end of this battle, but it will take some means to win this battle completely.

Squinting her eyes slightly, Char made a decision.

"The order on foot, the remaining three hundred spearmen in the tortoise pattern formation are all thrown into the frontal battlefield of the second defense circle. At the same time, Glen Hydeqing and Bediwell were ordered to cover the grenadiers to begin the attack. Let them destroy the remnants of the enemy forces in the second defense ring in the shortest possible time, and at the same time mobilize cavalry troops to bypass Xicheng and join the second defense circle. ”

Char decided to prepare for the final decisive battle, and the destruction of the enemy in the Second Defensive Circle and the mobilization of cavalry troops were precisely to solve the problem of the frontal battlefield in one fell swoop. Then gather the remaining forces and attack from the main gate to bypass the back of King Humbos to achieve a double reverse encirclement tactic.

"The order was passed again, and the troops in Xicheng District fully entered the posture of the general decisive battle. Lancelot must keep the enemy out of the Second Wall area and give the troops of the Long Valley Corridor time to destroy a large number of enemy forces. Next, send the archers to evacuate the second wall and enter the top of the tall wooden tower, ready to throw incendiary bombs. There's more to the firewood under the Canggu corridor than just to be seen!"
