Chapter Seventy-Six: Excessive Military Supplies Lost
Francine was a little overwhelmed by this sudden question, but his great diplomatic skills brought him to his composure.
"Of course! I'm willing to be your pioneer if you want, even though I say I'm a woman. ”
Francine gave Walls the standard samurai etiquette that only a good samurai could achieve, and Walls nodded, motioning for Francine to follow him.
"Let's fight together! Tonight is going to be a sleepless night. ”
Walls said meaningfully.
As Walls said, Farvia had gathered his forces, most of them had already begun to advance towards Sharitz, and Alva the Pearllight had been requisitioned by Farvia, and the soldiers who followed Alva the Pearllight had to be forced to fight with Falvia due to the majesty of Farvia. In this battle, Farvia prepares to send her soldiers loyal to Alva the Pearllight to take the lead. This was obviously sending them to their deaths, but if she wanted to resist, Farvia could wipe out the soldiers with one hand. Then arrange for them to be charged with anti-thieves, and everything can cover up the past.
People were more willing to believe what Farvia said, and as for Alva the Pearl Light, the queen whose power was evived, she could only hide in a dark corner and cry secretly. Therefore, in order not to tear Farvia's face, these loyal soldiers can only lead the way for Farvia.
"Don't worry! This time, the soldiers of Hakim Sultan have no fighting spirit, and the only one who can fight us is the Walls you let go! If you hadn't let Walls go, they wouldn't have had to work so hard! ”
Falvia said to Alva the Pearllight with an almost reproachful tone, this was indeed a miscalculation by the Pearllight Alva, and he suddenly realized that he could not fight Falvia like this, but should be more forbearing.
Pearllight Alva could only bow his head silently after hearing Farvia's words, he did not ask to step into battle in this battle, because he just had to wait for good news in the camp.
Who knows what crazy actions those loyal soldiers will do with him in his presence?
At this time, Farvia personally went to the front line, Walls had stepped up his war preparations, and the walls were full of recruits he had recruited from his territory, of course, after many battles, the number of recruits lost was somewhat large, and most of the soldiers planted on the walls were Nord warriors.
At the same time, the Sultan of Hakim also sent Chief Diu to put him in charge of half of his own army, while the other half was put in command of Walls, who was responsible for his command of half of his own forces.
However, both the soldiers led by Chief Diu and the Salander soldiers under the command of Walls had a common trait, and they had completely lost their fighting spirit just like their lord Hakim Sultan. Walls could only shake his head at this, and for a moment he couldn't think of any good way to motivate these Salander soldiers.
It was a night with a bright moon, and in the desert, even the clear night sky was unusually cold, and Walls looked closely to the east, where Farvia's troops were about to advance, and only heard the sound of a crisp footstep on the ancient city walls.
"King Karad, what are you waiting for?"
It was a crisp, loud, beautiful female voice, and Walls couldn't help but glance back. As Walls had guessed, the man who was close to him was none other than Francine.
By this time, Francine had lost his old attire and was wearing a special type of chain mail that provided an effective defense, which was not only strong but also lightweight. At his waist were two scimitars, which were his most proud weapons.
"You're going to fight?"
Walls asked with a hint of skepticism.
Francine glared at Walls, and it was a shame that he had the audacity.
"Of course! I've fought against Farvia! ”
As she spoke, Francine pulled out two scimitars that were stuck in her waist. Two scimitars came out of their scabbards, and Walls' eyes narrowed, and he could tell that these two scimitars were no ordinary weapons.
In fact, for Walls, he is more concerned about Farvia's strength.
"You said you fought with Farvia? That being the case, what do you think of his power? ”
Francine also knew the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately retracted the attitude he had just shown off his strength.
Said seriously: "Very powerful! In the Salander Sultanate, I did not meet an opponent who could defeat me until he appeared. ”
"You?"
He looked incredulous, as if he had seen the biggest lie in the world.
Unconsciously, his eyes looked towards Francine's palm, the palm holding the two sharp blades is now so white and delicate, this is not a sword practice at all, if he is a master with a sword, he will have thick calluses on his hands, which is formed over time. Looking at Francin's young appearance, and his palms, it was hard for Walls to believe the first half of what he had just said.
"You don't believe me?"
Francine was a little angry, and he wanted to get a complete change in Walls' mind. Suddenly, the two scimitars shook a few moves in his hands, and they took a full stance. Walls' pupils shrank suddenly, and he could see that Francine had put on this stance, full of strength, and it was difficult to break through no matter which direction he attacked. Needless to say, this is indeed a formidable general.
No wonder! It is no wonder that he stayed by the side of the Sultan of Hakim, who in addition to his superior brains, also possessed great force, so it was natural for a person to stay by the side of the ruler of a country.
At this time, all I could hear was a shout of anger behind Francine.
"Stop! What are you going to do? Emilyada quickly came up behind Francine, and someone dangled in front of the monarch to whom he was loyal with two sharp blades, which was a great disrespect, and even murderous. As a knight of Walls, Emilyada must protect the safety of his lord.
"Out of the way! He just wanted to prove to me what he was capable of! It doesn't matter, we have to step up our preparations, Farvia will come to attack this night. ”
As soon as Walls finished speaking, he heard a sharp scream behind him, which turned out to be from a Salander soldier.
The Salander soldier pointed his finger forward, and even the darkness could not hide the fear in his eyes. At the same time, his companions seemed to react. In the desert in the distance, a detachment of centaurs rushed towards it.
"I can't imagine anyone else but Farvia who could make such a big fuss about that?"
Walls seemed to be speaking to someone else, and he seemed to be talking to himself. Francine and Emilyda were both staring at the city, the city of Shariz had strong walls, but no one knew how long he would be able to hold out.
Soon, almost as soon as the Salander soldiers screamed, a behemoth appeared in front of everyone, whether it was because of the screams of the Salander soldiers or because of the appearance of the behemoth, and after the billowing dust, a huge siege tower appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Suddenly, everyone on the city wall was standing or sitting, and all looked at the behemoth. It was a huge siege tower that could climb the walls of the city of Sharitz.
Panic and fear spread like a plague between Salander and the soldiers.
The Salander soldiers wanted to escape, and after seeing many of their companions die in front of them, the Salander soldiers never wanted to fight Farvia again.
Walls just glanced to his left and right, and could see that dozens of Salander soldiers were fleeing, and on this section of the city wall near him, except for the Nord warriors he had planted, the Salander soldiers were nowhere to be seen.
No! Except for one person.
Perhaps it was because of the cover of the night, or perhaps because he was quiet enough that the hermit that Walls had seen during the day was as intelligent as a monument above the city walls. Instead of running away like the Salander soldiers, he silently drew his strangely shaped sword.
Quicksand! This was the name of the sword, and Walls had learned the origin of the man.
A sleepless night! Danzi said silently to himself, everything seemed to be so silent, seeing that the Salander soldiers had fled beside him, his sword would be the last resistance.
Although the overall situation has been decided, it is clear that there are still people who want to turn the tide.
"Everyone, all of you stop me, take up your weapons, in your life are the inhabitants of the city of Sharitz, if those rebels break through this line, then they will definitely harm the inhabitants of the city for their amusement, this is the last battle, Farvia will definitely destroy all resistance. And your relatives and friends will not be spared. ”
It was a loud male voice, coming from beneath the walls, and Walls and the others moved their gaze to the bottom of the walls. A man in heavy armor stood there, the chief of Diu, now loyal to one of the lords of the Sultan of Hakim.
When he had said this, he drew his sword, and Walls could tell at a glance that it was a sharp blade, for it was night, and he watched as the guards around him raised their torches. His loyal guards followed the chief Diu of the Salander Sultanate on the ramparts.
With Chief Diu as a role model, soon, the Salander soldiers took up arms and slowly climbed the city walls, and Chief Diu thought that he would set an example in the final battle. He walked straight up to Walls.
"King Karad, as the Sultan of Hakim said, half of the soldiers will be under my command, and the other half will be under your command. I hope that your commander will be able to help us win against the strong enemies outside. Farvia will fight us this time. ”
Chief Diu said impassionedly, and he brandished his sword and ran to his place of battle. That section of the wall will be defended with his life.
Walls nodded at his back, he had wanted to talk to Chief Diul, but now that the battle was urgent, he didn't have time to say more.
"You are a good lord, and my men will follow your example."
Walls said to Chief Diul's back.
Looking back, the behemoth from before, the guy who was bigger than any of the siege towers before had already walked half the way. On the left and right sides of the siege tower, there were samurai with shields to escort them, and under the defensive line of the shields, a group of soldiers behind the siege tower pushed the behemoth.
It stands to reason that the siege towers are wooden structures, and if you use rockets, you will have a chance to burn them, and if the siege towers are burned to the ground, Farvia will not be able to carry her soldiers up the walls, no matter how good she is.
"Archers! Light your arrows with flames and shoot at that siege tower. ”
Walls said to his soldiers, the Nord archers were not very powerful, but they were outnumbered and quickly aimed their bows and arrows at the siege towers in the distance. The Salander soldiers, like the Nord archers, also took up their bows and arrows, and their target was what Walls called the siege tower.
The first rain of arrows appeared, and it swept through the dark night, and in the light of the moon, the Salander rebels could clearly see the cold light reflected off the arrows, but it could not stop their will to advance. Now the Salander rebels are in high spirits, and these arrows can only urge them to speed up.
The Salander rebels were in high spirits, and their supreme commander, Farvia, similarly commanded their soldiers in a counterattack. A platoon of archers of the Salander rebels had already set up their position.
At the same time, rows of Salander soldiers with torches raised their shields, which were effective against the Salander archers behind them. At Farvia's command, after Wall's archers fired the first rain of arrows, Farvia's counterattack was immediately effective, and some of the archers who were hiding behind the battlements were killed.
Seeing this scene, Walls did not have any panic, he had seen a lot of such situations. In front of her, Farvia's troops were densely packed, and all of them were more combative, on the other hand, half of her soldiers here were discouraged, if these guys were allowed to climb the city wall, then Shariz would definitely be breached. Walls' brain was spinning, and he was trying to figure out how to solve the puzzle.
On the other hand, Chief Diu was also sweating profusely, and he commanded his soldiers to attack the siege towers, and the second wave of arrows appeared again. Obscuring rockets fell on the siege towers, and it seemed that Wall's strategy had worked. The siege tower was soon set on fire, and the Salander soldiers on the walls shouted loudly, but before they could be happy, a second wave of arrows from Farvia followed.
A considerable number of these Salander archers, who jumped up with great joy, were killed by arrows.
It was only then that Walls realized the seriousness of the matter, and it seemed that Farvia did not want to use the behemoth siege tower as a siege tower, and Farvia had already regarded this siege tower as an outcast.
Because in Wall's field of vision, one, two, three, three whole siege towers appeared in Wall's eyes. These three siege towers were not as large as the previous one, but the power of their three siege towers in unison should not be underestimated. As soon as he approached the walls, a steady stream of soldiers would climb the walls and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Salander soldiers. And these Salander soldiers, who had long been discouraged, were simply unable to engage in white-knuckle combat with the enemy, and if they were to engage in white-knuckle combat, it would be a crushing defeat on Walls' side.
Under the city wall, Farvia, he rode his beloved war horse, the war horse had white pure hair, this was an upper horse, on the left and right were his right-hand men, this time he brought all the lord's generals, in addition to his own right-hand man, there were 12 right-hand generals.
These 12 right-hand men are all right-hand men of the lords who owe allegiance to Alva, the Light of Pearl. Recruited for the siege of Sharitz, Farvia has decided to have these 12 capable generals charge with her men.
Thinking of this, Farvia's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared closely at the city wall, his eyes from left to right and from right to left, constantly looking for someone to meet, that is, Walls, who had used a plan to ambush and attack him. At this point, he is the only one who can be his opponent in this city.
Although it is said that his troops have fought with Walls during the day, so his soldiers will definitely be tired, but the other party is not the same? In the same exhausting situation, the two sides fought again, and Farvia was about to take Walls by surprise.
The wind was cold tonight, and behind Farvia were 12 heavily armed generals, some with greatswords, some with scythes, javelins and blades, and the heavy armor that showed that they were all heavily armed warriors.
Not only did he have 12 heavily armed warriors, but Farvia also had his immediate right-hand men nearby, and if they all rushed to the wall, it was unknown how much strength Walls would have to withstand their attack next.
"Rakman! I know you've had a holiday with one of Wall's generals, and in this battle you're going to fight him personally, Paynes and Mattson, and you're each looking for the strongest opponent to hold off his right-hand men, and I'm going to fight against Wall. ”
Falvia began to give orders to her men, and on the top of the city walls, Walls seemed to see it all. Despite the dim moonlight, under the cover of night, this unusual group of centaurs was still seen by Walls one by one. Their ruthless temperament and flowing movements make people feel that they are definitely a special forces.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out behind Wall, and he knew that this was not a special force, but a general from all sides who had been requisitioned from the lord, because all the weapons they were holding were different, and the armor they wore was not all standard armor.
In this case, if they climbed the walls, they would be slaughtered. Walls hurriedly ordered his Nord royal guards to move closer to him, concentrating their firepower on a battle to the death with Farvia. At the same time, the three siege towers seemed to be approaching the top of the city wall, and the largest mountain-like siege tower was about to collapse, but he still approached the city wall with his last breath, and the Wall soldiers standing on the wall looked at this siege tower in a daze, they didn't understand why this siege tower was still desperately squeezing to the front? Now that she has been burned beyond recognition, I am afraid that in the next second, this siege tower will collapse with a bang.
No one present had seen through the stratagem except for Walls and the others, who had approached the walls, and they were moving much faster than the mountain-like siege towers, for behind them were propelled by some of the strongest and strongest soldiers.
Walls hurriedly called out to his most powerful general, Emilyda, and those lords such as Ellene, these people gathered around Walls, and the siege tower roared close to the city wall, and the first siege tower had already put their siege ladder on the wall. Then Salander's soldiers poured up like a tidal wave.
"Hurry up, Emilyda, you will lead some people to stop them, I can feel that there are some strong opponents among these Salander soldiers, there is no doubt that they are all capable men under the Salander rebel lord, Emilyada hopes that you can deal with them carefully."
Emilyada nodded, not daring to do anything about what Walls had said. Soon he ran with a team of Nord royal guards to the vicinity of the first siege tower. But in the next second, the second siege tower was already close to the city wall, and when Wall ordered the archers to shoot at a siege tower, he was probably not as easy as the first time, because he had already used a large number of arrows on the mountain-like siege tower just now. In this case, the remaining arrows may not be enough to destroy the three siege towers in front of you.
It turned out that because of the repeated defeats of the Sultan of Hakim, too much military supplies were lost.
