759 Mann Warriors
Dressed in heavy armor, Gelman slowly came to the walls of this fortress.
He was a minor nobleman of Manyin, and this time he also responded to the call of the Emperor of Cruz and participated in the 10,000-character army of the Eastern Crusade.
His grandfather had participated in the First Crusade that year, when they had fought as far as the West Huluo Sea.
Unfortunately, they were defeated by a coalition from the east at the West Khoro Sea.
However, his grandfather returned to the Mains Kingdom with all his beards and tails, and bought a piece of land with the proceeds of looting along the way.
Coupled with the military exploits accumulated earlier, he was canonized and became a small landowner.
Later, his father and uncle also participated in the Second and Third Crusades.
However, those two crusades failed before they went far.
And this time, the Fourth Crusade he participated in went the farthest, and they had already broken through the boundary mountain between the East and the West: Baiyun Mountain!
And they also defeated a part of the coalition forces in the east, and the remaining one has fled, leaving only some of them to break the queen.
Although the resistance of these men was valiant, in his opinion, it was of little use.
Sooner or later, they will be defeated, because the city is not tall and there are not many defenders.
What's more, there is always a monster army behind them?
Gelman, with the help of several guards, followed the ladder set up by the people in front of him to the top of the wall.
Before he climbed the city walls, he could already smell the heavy smell of blood on the walls.
"It smells so good! Follow me, warriors of Manin, climb up, open the gates, victory belongs to us, to the Lord God! ”
Gelman turned around and yelled at the soldiers behind him before climbing up the wall.
The few guards who followed him were also in good spirits, and everyone yelled.
Then they quickly climbed over the wall, but after crawling over, they did not rush to attack.
It's ten people who form a small town.
In front were two shieldmen, followed by two spearmen, and on both wings there were equally shieldmen.
In the middle is Gelman, and his two retinues, both of whom are armed with bows and arrows.
This kind of long battle formation is the most commonly used small formation for infantry combat in the Mains Kingdom.
Almost all samurai are trained before they go into battle.
Once on the battlefield, you have to form a small formation like this to fight.
By this time, Gelman had seen the battle on the city walls.
The first lightly armed warriors to climb up were all Gruon people from the island west of the Heavenly Alliance.
These guys are members of the Manyin tribe, but more than a thousand years ago, they invaded the island of Leiden on the west side of the Manyin continent.
And settled there, and they also sent more than 10,000 soldiers to the east.
Gelman actually didn't look down on this distant clan, he thought that these guys were too cunning.
No matter what you do, you like to play tricks on your head.
However, this siege was indeed the first one they attacked, but what he saw so far.
The situation of these fellows did not seem to be good, as he saw many Gruon people being stabbed to death in the wall by the opposing spearmen.
There were even quite a few people who were chased and jumped off the city walls.
And at this time, a ten-person team on the other side also discovered them, and the leader of the squad who took the lead whistled and only gathered the soldiers......
Gelman, who had been in battle for a long time, knew that he naturally could not give these people a chance to adjust.
The flying axe in his hand flew towards the whistling ten chiefs as soon as possible.
The man turned his head, and before he could dodge, he was hit in the chest by the axe.
Thankfully, he wore the armor, and the axe didn't break through the iron piece behind the armor, but it still hit him hard.
He fell on his back, spurting blood as he spurted blood.
Several other soldiers, seeing the captain fall, although a little flustered, still under the command of an adjutant, lined up in a phalanx and pushed towards them.
At the front of the other side were four people, all armed with spears, in fact, they could platoon more people.
But the top of the city wall is too narrow to be lined up at all.
Gelman immediately beckoned his companions to release their arrows, and then several other heavy infantry also threw out all the weapons they could throw.
The spearmen on the opposite side obviously did not have too good experience in dealing with this type of heavy infantry attack.
They didn't even have a row of shield players in the front row, so this wave of flow directly put all the spearmen in their front row.
When the other party saw such a situation, he was also very alarmed.
The chief and deputy ten leaders who led the team were on fire and had no leader, but this ten-person team showed full resilience.
They still haven't collapsed, but there has been confusion in formation.
Naturally, Gelman would not give them a chance to regroup, he let out a long roar, carried his two-handed sword in his hand, and rushed towards the low enemy on the opposite side.
The other guards immediately charged to follow.
The opponent's spear came over again, and Gelman was not mountainous, so he directly hit it with his chest.
He was wearing a pair of plate armor carefully crafted by his family's craftsmen, and 99% of his body was covered by this iron armor.
Only a few holes in the eyes and nose, exposed, so he was not afraid of the opponent's spears at all.
Sure enough, with his weight of two hundred catties and the blessing of more than thirty catties of heavy armor, the opponent's spear pierced him in the chest.
There was just a toothache-inducing creak and the spear ricocheted off.
The other party's face was horrified, but before he could draw back his spear, Gelman had already rushed in with his two-handed sword.
His two-handed sword slashed and slashed at the other man.
The other party only had time to put the spear pole up to his chest......
It's a pity that in the end, even the spear and the people were cut off by him with a sword!
The rain of blood in the sky aroused Gelman's ferocity.
He was covered in blood, looking up to the sky and roaring, and several guards around him were also demoralized.
After a few rounds, he killed the spearman on the opposite side.
Behind them, more and more hoplites climbed the wall, and the sight of such a picture boosted everyone's morale...
A moment later, behind Gelman's team, there were dozens of more ten-man teams.
They formed a wedge-shaped formation and pushed flat along the city walls.
The squad of spearmen composed of countless iron armies was ruthlessly crushed by them.
Until a strange roar suddenly sounded in the distance......
Gelman, who had already killed the red-eyed, didn't know how many people he had cut down, and his nose was full of blood.
But suddenly, a strange smell entered his nostrils, and it was as if something had burned.
He frowned and looked up, only to see a three-person team in the distance, also heavily armoured, slowly walking towards them.
The three men stand in a triangular position, protecting each other's backs.
Although there were only three of them, for some reason, they walked out of a kind of momentum of thousands of troops......
