Chapter 22: Who is Helping Me?
Cumberland forcibly opened a gap in the wall of Anding, jumped down first, and engaged a dozen defenders nearby, although he was wounded, but his strength was still strong, and with a sweep of the steel gun in his hand, he shot several people away, making room for the soldiers who entered the city later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But what the son of God didn't expect was that although the alliance mercenary group was not well-known on the mainland, they were all well-trained and not afraid of strong enemies.
At the moment of life and death, Cumberland had to shout, once again urging the little fighting spirit in his body, enduring the pain, and the defenders strangled together, in order to gain an advantage, he looked like a mad demon, the light was shining, and he repelled the siege of three squads in a row, and the blood in his mouth was more and more, only to feel that his eyes were dark, dizzy, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground, so he inserted the steel gun into the ground, and grabbed the gun with both hands to prevent himself from falling. After the battle, there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, and he was a bloody person.
The warriors of Sivi continued to jump into the city, but the gap was smaller, and the increase in numbers was slow, and they still did not have an advantage. George finally came to Cumberland's side and stabbed to death two enemies who were about to sneak attack, saving the life of his master, but he saw that the two ends of the gap were already full of archers, and the situation was even more unfavorable to prevent people from entering.
"Leave me alone, stab those archers to death. The Son of God shouted at George, knowing that the Assassins were more than enough to deal with the archers.
"No, sir!" George pulled Cumberland back, his body already touching the wall, and there was no way out.
Seeing that they could not reach the city, the warriors of Xiwei Town hurriedly organized archers to shoot at the people on the city wall, but the effect of the attack was not good, and the losses continued to expand. At this moment, everyone saw a miracle, in the dark sky, a silver light suddenly poured down, and it was falling on the dying Cumberland, who was regained his vitality in an instant, full of strength and fighting spirit again, and with a wave of his hand, he threw George beside him into the city and threw him near the shooter.
Melee combat is a nightmare for archers, George is like a swimming fish, holding two daggers in his backhand, cutting the throats of all the archers on the left side of the city wall, and the pressure on the siege soldiers is suddenly reduced by half. Cumberland's eyes swept to the right, raised the spear in his hand, the fighting spirit exploded, the steel spear turned into a purple light, and shot quickly towards the city, and the shooters occupying the high ground felt an irresistible violent force coming, and instantly lost consciousness, and at the same time lost their bodies, most of them were blown apart and turned into fluffy blood spots.
The defenders of the Alliance Mercenary Regiment were stupid, even if they were brave and good at fighting, they couldn't help but be afraid in their hearts, obviously the man in front of him had received the help of God, otherwise how could he suddenly regain his vitality and state, and become more powerful? The archers on both sides of the gap were wiped out, and the warriors in the town began to pour in again, gradually surpassing the defenders in number, and suddenly the horn sounded, and the mercenaries began to retreat in an orderly manner, disappearing into the darkness.
"Come with me, and take the city lord's mansion tonight. Cumberland ordered, now confident in his confidence.
Of course, the warriors of Xiwei Town obeyed their orders, they had seen everything that had just happened, they believed that the Son of God was not a mortal, and at a critical moment, God would come to help, and under the leadership of such an adult, they would be invincible, and their morale was extremely high, and they immediately stood in formation and prepared for the next battle.
Anding City is not big, Cumberland with the remaining more than seven hundred soldiers, rushed along the main street to the city lord's mansion, along the way did not encounter decent resistance, nor did there any fortifications, except for the occasional few cold arrows shooting, shooting one or two soldiers, everyone easily arrived in front of the city lord's mansion. The Son of God thought that the mercenary group would use all its forces to gather in the corner of the City Lord's Mansion to resist stubbornly and fight to the death with him, but he was wrong again, the City Lord's Mansion was empty, no one guarded it, and the army of the Alliance was gone, did they flee secretly?
The answer is no!
Cumberland ordered the soldiers to clear the streets overnight, occupy the city walls, and guard the key points, but after the soldiers dispersed, they were repeatedly attacked, and it took him a while to understand that the soldiers of the Alliance took off their uniforms, turned into civilians, hid everywhere, and launched a sneak attack on them, and the soldiers could not tell which was the enemy and which was the common people, and suffered a lot of losses, and nearly 100 people died in a short time.
"This mercenary leader is really cunning!" Cumberland sighed, remembering that the mercenaries had advanced and retreated in an orderly and fearless manner, and felt that he had underestimated this team.
"Withdraw all to the City Lord's Mansion, arrange for the soldiers to take turns on duty at night, don't scatter the troops for the time being, and wait until dawn. ”
The army lay down inside and outside the city lord's mansion and entered a state of rest, and Cumberland did not close his eyes, and was deliberating with several commanders how to deal with the remnants scattered in the city.
"The current situation is that the three nobles decided to slaughter the city, but they didn't kill everyone, so the alliance mercenary group was mixed in, it is difficult to distinguish, I am afraid that we will continue to suffer losses at night, gather all the warriors, take two hundred soldiers each during the day, search and disarm from house to house, and kill anyone who resists. Cumberland ordered.
"But what if they don't resist and keep hiding among the civilians?" asked Chesterton, the mayor of Seavey.
"Let the civilians identify it, and they will surely be able to find out. "George, you have to work hard, from the current potential shadows, reconnoiter the whereabouts of their regimental commander, as long as you catch him, everything will be easy." ”
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away. George turned away.
The Son of God asked everyone to go to sleep for a while, and he came to the terrace of the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the sky, and thought to himself: "If there is no divine power to help you today, I am afraid that you will die by the city wall, and your actions are still too risky, and you will underestimate the enemy." "Who saved me, could it be the divine general sent by Lord St. Ossidine, but he knows in his heart that an ordinary magic power should have a plane, and it is not worthy of the attention of the heavenly realm, it is impossible to send a divine general, if the divine general has already come, then why not simply participate in the battle? Could it be that the divine general is just passing by?"
Cumberland thought about it, but had no answer, so he had to take his mind back and look at the whole city. It was almost pitch black in front of him, and there were a few clusters of firelight in the distance, and there were faint shouts of killing and crying, which made the devastated city even more desolate.
"This is war!" sighed Cumberland. (To be continued.) )
