Chapter 409: Surprise Attack and Siege

On the other road, a mixed procession of villagers and soldiers had driven out of the territory of the White Sea, getting closer and closer to the seat of the Viscount of the Aral Sea.

There were only a few real soldiers, all of them were inhabitants of the White Sea Territory, and they were not as empty-sighted as the soldiers recruited from outside, and when the uprising began, Qiu Wuyi demanded that the rebels not kill them, which proved useful, and although there were few men after that, they played a far more important role in the army than the militia of peasant hunters.

Of course, the soldiers who bear the blood debt will never be appeased, but fortunately, most of the people who do these things are outsiders, and the local soldiers still think about the local fathers and villagers, and some people are even imprisoned for this, and they are all reused by the new lord without exception.

Faced with a strange land and a strange city, the militiamen who had never experienced a big war finally showed a little fear on their faces.

There are a total of 300 people, only 300 people, this is already the most elite youth group in the White Sea Territory, the average age is only about 20 years old, including all the warriors and disciples in the territory, to put it mildly, the basic ones who can fight are here.

Ma Cheng's lord's mansion has no people at all, it is a huge castle in itself, and it is also the largest fortress within a radius of several hundred miles, and it is precisely because of this that Hou Guang, who has the advantage of troops, will return with a crushing defeat.

The gloomy castle stood above the ground, and the heavily armed soldiers patrolled to and fro, and a strong sense of oppression hung over the heads of the three hundred recruits, so that they could not even breathe.

Courage can bring about a strong will, but courage is not infinite and may be extinguished before greater fear.

Shui Chaoyang and several warriors who led the team had already seen the fear in the hearts of the soldiers.

"This is Ma Cheng's lord's mansion, even a high-ranking earl may not have such a castle, are you afraid?"

Shui Chaoyang jumped off his horse, picked up the iron ball on the baggage cart, and stood alone in front of the phalanx of three hundred people.

No one answered, for the answer was yes, and the three hundred men were all young men of strong flesh, and they also knew that it was a great shame to be overwhelmed by the fear in their hearts, and they bowed their heads in silence one by one, not daring to speak out.

"Then do you know that my brother, Qiu Wuyi, is now facing Ma Cheng's main army alone?

The stern voice was like a bell ringing, and it shook the hearts of the three hundred soldiers.

"I understand what you are thinking, you are not at ease, you are afraid that your hometown will be in flames, and you are afraid of this city, and you are afraid of the soldiers in it, right? But have you ever thought that when you are afraid of this, and when you are afraid of that, there are people who stand alone in front of the army, and this is the hero! What about you? Look, such a large castle, but the defenders are at most a hundred, can this make you cowards?"

Shui Chaoyang pointed to the closed castle gate and said in a sonorous voice.

The stiffness on the faces of the three hundred soldiers gradually melted, and they didn't know that Ma Cheng had emptied the army, but the habitual fear could not be easily dispelled.

What drives away their fear is not only the agitation of the rising sun, but also the yearning for heroes.

Three hundred against one hundred, still timid, Qiu Wuyi alone in the face of an army of a thousand people, what kind of situation is it?

The extinguished courage re-emerged a small spark and gave light to the hearts of the three hundred.

"It seems that you have chosen not cowards, but heroes, very good! Each of us has sworn to protect our homeland, and the castle in front of us is the lair of the invaders! In addition, I have a little news, that is, my brother Qiu Wuyi has defeated Ma Cheng's army of 1,000 people!, and he is coming soon!"

Shui Chaoyang saw the metal giant bird in the air with wings spread, this was Qiu Wuyi's agreement with him.

The three hundred young people did not think of the cheers at the first time, everyone was stunned, and their minds could not think of anything for a while, and they were empty.

What kind of warrior is this one person against a thousand people? This is a real hero! With such a hero behind his back, what is there to be afraid of?

"Folks, let him take a good look at our majesty on the battlefield!"

Shui Chaoyang roared angrily, picked up the iron ball and launched a charge towards the isolated castle on foot.

"Brother Shui rushed out!"

"Don't be left behind! Lao Tzu is not a coward!"

"Kill!"

The three hundred soldiers who had raised their courage suddenly erupted in all kinds of fierce shouts, there was no formation, no plan, all with enthusiasm, the young men who took up their weapons followed closely behind Shui Chaoyang, and rushed towards the castle frantically.

The defenders in the castle were not fools, they had already noticed this group of troops, but there were really no soldiers, so they could only barely hold on to the city walls.

"Do you want to be a shrunken turtle!

Shui Chaoyang bore the brunt of the attack, and at a glance he could see that there were not many people guarding behind the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The captain of the soldiers on the tower of the city gave an order, and more than two dozen lightly armed soldiers armed with bows and arrows drew their longbows into a full moon and aimed them at the front of the water and the rising sun.

"Come on!"

Dozens of arrows flew head-on, Shui Chaoyang was not afraid, and threw the huge iron ball with all his strength, and the wind passed by, and dozens of flying arrows were all folded into two sections. !”

The captain knew the secret of defending the city, and urged the soldiers to hurry up and shoot their bows and arrows, which was indeed the right way to deal with it.

The quality of the soldiers on the wall is also uneven, seeing that the tiger-like Shui Chaoyang has been killed, a few will inevitably tremble in their hands, and a few of them with good psychological quality will shoot arrows first, and this second wave of arrow rain will become sparse.

When the soldiers were in disarray, the signs of defeat had already begun to appear.

Shui Chaoyang didn't dodge the second wave of arrows, and several powerful long swords sneered into his arms and shoulders, and pieces of red suddenly appeared on his coat.

It was clear that he had hit the target, but there was no smile on the captain's face, and there was nothing but fear.

"Drink!"

The iron ball slammed into the solid city wall, accompanied by Shui Chaoyang's excited roar, the reason why he didn't dodge the arrow was precisely because the iron ball had already shot.

"Mom!"

The soldiers on the city wall were so shocked that their legs were weakened, and they only felt that the sky and the earth were shaking together, and half of them were so frightened that they threw away their bows and arrows and fled off the city wall.

One blow frustrated the sharpness of the soldiers defending the city, Shui Chaoyang didn't feel the pain of the wound on his body at all, laughed and raised the iron ball, and threw it towards the locked city gate.

The city wall is not bad, after all, it is a large stone pile, but although the city gate is wrapped in iron sheets, the core inside is still thick wood, and when an iron ball is smashed, several cracks are shaken on the surface of the city gate.

Several warriors used their stunts to intercept two or three arrows in the air, jumped up the high wall in a few steps, and there were only four or five archers left on the city wall.

"Boom!"

The deafening cracking sound suddenly sounded under the city, and the archers' faces changed, knowing that the city gate was broken, and they were about to flee if they threw away their bows and arrows, but several warriors had already chased after them, and they were cleaned up in three or two clicks.

The three hundred soldiers who couldn't keep up with the warrior group were catching up with the moment the city was broken, and no one was injured by the stray arrows, and they rushed into the city while roaring angrily, and when they saw the enemy soldiers intercepted in front, their eyes immediately turned red.

Some people who are new to the battlefield will fall into a state of frenzy, rushing all the way to kill, and as a result, they don't even know who they killed, and only after the battle will they feel that their legs are weak, and these 300 soldiers are almost like this.

There were less than fifty of the enemy forces left without a rout, and a small half of these fifty or so were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by Shui Chaoyang's hammer, and there were only thirty or so left, although these were specially trained soldiers, but in the case of low morale, they could not withstand the onslaught of three hundred fanatical soldiers in any case.

Three hundred against thirty, like a tide swept by, and the shiny weapons suddenly ran over the heads of more than thirty enemy soldiers, and in less than a minute, all that was left was the mutilated corpses. The three hundred soldiers seemed to be still unsatisfied, and they shouted and ran around like crazy, until their mouths were dry and they could no longer run, and then they slowly remembered that they had just pierced the throat of a living person and cut off the head of a living person......

From the destruction of the city to the fall, it was less than ten minutes in total, this was the natural ending, and it was precisely because Qiu Wuyi determined the outcome of the matter when he drew up the battle plan, that he was relieved to let Shui Chaoyang use the castle to train his troops.

Today's battle, 300 people have more or less seen blood, and it is not required that they can become strong soldiers, at least they have gained their own strength to protect their homeland and relatives.

Even Shui Chaoyang didn't expect things to be so simple, and he was ready for a fierce battle, but the fact is that this is what it is, starting with a frenzy and ending with a daze.

"Stand up to those who can stand! Don't be idle, Ma Cheng's other territories may still have troops, hurry up and take this castle completely!"

Shui Chaoyang took a few breaths, remembered Qiu Wuyi's orders before going into battle, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers.

Where is Qiu Wuyi at this time?

Shui Chaoyang knows.

Because this is also what Qiu Wuyi said to him personally, after dealing with Ma Cheng's main force, he will go to the pirates' lair stronghold and completely sweep them away.

"Come a few feet and hurry up, follow me to see the battlefield on Brother Qiu's side, and the rest of the people hurry up to repair the city gate first, and then check the contents for me!"

Shui Chaoyang decided to do what he had to do first, he fully believed that Qiu Wuyi would be able to return victoriously from the pirates' lair, and then share the joy of victory with him and all his friends.

In fact, Qiu Wuyi had indeed approached the pirate's lair, but he was not alone.
