62. Mistakes

As the three Overseers killed the fleeing foresters on the spot, the high pressure from the rear forced the remaining foresters to fight harder, and the sudden rise of the fighting spirit of the foresters suddenly doubled the pressure on the defenders on the wooden wall.

The fifty able-bodied women who had been selected had done a great job, if only as auxiliaries, and had already emptied the cauldron of stewed dung in a short time.

The hot thick liquid poured over and over again on the top of the forest's head, and if it was directly pasted on the face, it would be fine, but it would be burned until he lost consciousness and passed out, and if he let the thick liquid flow down the gap in his clothes, the clothes would be wet again......

Their skin will be severely burned in a very short period of time, and even if they are lucky enough not to die at this time, the bacteria in the feces will ensure that they die a miserable death after being tortured.

However, as the offensive of the forest people below continues to intensify, they have already suffered several casualties!

Moreover, the reduction in numbers, coupled with the fact that they had already struggled to drop countless logs and boiled dung, their arms were already extremely sore, and their combat effectiveness had dropped sharply.

The defense line that had been gradually consolidated with the addition of Carl and the other three became precarious again, as if someone would break through any ladder again in the next moment.

"Arthur ......"

"Report to the Legion Commander, another thirty minutes have passed since you asked the question just now."

After hearing that Arthur was already able to answer the question, Ron's lips moved, but he stopped talking.

"Legion Commander, this is different from the battle plan I submitted!"

Arthur's concentration has been calculated, and when Carl questioned Ron countless times before, he could still control his emotions well, but in the end, his concentration was still not as good as Ron's.

Now that Karl has personally rushed up to cut people, he still can't hide the impending decline, even if he runs around to fight fires, there will occasionally be one or two fish that slip through the net and break in, although they will soon be strangled by the defenders who occupy the numerical advantage because of their weak strength, but it also obviously shows that they have reached the limit!

Therefore, he could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart, and he couldn't bear the meaningless casualties in front of him, so he asked directly in the roars that were approaching the two of them,

"Legion Commander! Tell me what exactly you want to do! According to our initial plan, we used the sparsely armed lumber camp as bait, and waited until the foresters were in a stalemate, and then sent troops to attack from both sides! ”

At this point, there were foresters above the city who seized the opportunity for the legionnaires to crawl in and rolled in, and Karl blocked the direction of the foresters with his flesh and blood in the other direction, so there was no way to get out.

Arthur could only shut up again, put on his weapon and walked forward quickly, and waited until his dark armor was stained with blood, as if he had bathed in a pool of blood, Arthur returned with his weapon and continued to question in a deep voice.

"How long has it been?"

It's still the question that is about to make Arthur lose his mind, Arthur can't understand why Ron is so obsessed with the passage of time now, instead of asking some pointless questions here, it is better for him and Karl to defend together to consolidate the defense of the city.

However, all kinds of indignation was still deflated at the moment Arthur exited, "Commander, I don't know, maybe it's five minutes, maybe it's three minutes, the situation was urgent just now, I don't have the leisure to count the time." ”

"Then I'll tell you, it's five minutes." Ron pointed to the ground and motioned for Arthur to sit down on the spot to recover his strength, "You don't have to worry about the things in the city, I've already asked for reinforcements to come, you can sit down here and rest first." ”

Hearing that Ron finally dispatched the reserves he was talking about, Arthur didn't care about the time or the time, and sat down on the spot, ready to wait until the legionnaires repelled the forest people together before opening the door with full strength to open the door and pursue.

But when the sound of Suosuo's footsteps came from far and near until finally appeared in front of him, Arthur's pupils couldn't help but widen again.

All the old men in the village who were still able to move had been mobilized by Ron, and although they were exhausted and feared the wrath of the forest gods, they could still burst out to the last of their fighting power in order to survive.

Although it was difficult for these old men to wield their weapons, even if they struggled to drop the logs, they were holding sharp pitchforks, and with the strength of several people, they could still push the foresters who were climbing the ladder off the high wall.

But... What's the use of that!? There were no more real warriors joining the fray, and all they did was postpone the defeat of the Legion a little!

Ron stared at the end of the horizon, then turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his tone was quite serious, "Arthur, tell me how many people the forest has sent under the wooden walls. ”

"There should be about two hundred people, and even now, there are about one hundred and fifty people." After all, it has been in the legion for several years, hundreds or thousands, as long as you glance at it hastily, there will be an approximate number in your heart, so Arthur's heart will be so impatient, the legionnaires are already at the end of the crossbow, and the forest people still have one hundred and fifty people who are still physically intact.

By all accounts, their chances of winning are extremely slim.

"So, what about the number of people who can watch John's side and make him unable to move easily?"

"A hundred, or even more!" Arthur didn't think about it, and blurted out that if he could suppress the thirty warriors of the Northern Boar Legion and a battle-hardened ten-captain, for the forest people, the minimum number must be met.

"Then, the number of people on both sides combined, there are three hundred in total." Ron bowed slightly, "Did you mention in your battle plan how to deal with an enemy of this number?" ”

It was as if there was an earthquake in his brain, only to feel that his ears were full of loud rumbling noises, and even the nearby Jin Ge's voice could no longer be heard, Arthur was stunned in place, and after a while, he hung his head in frustration,

"Nope."

A week ago, when they were discussing the battle plan, John proposed that the maximum number of foresters entrenched in the western forest would be comparable to theirs, and this speculation coincided with his own push, so Arthur himself also followed this number when he helped John add details to the battle.

With the same number of people, it would not be too easy to defeat that group of forest people, but it was impossible to wipe them out in one fell swoop and completely lose the threat to the village of Ustok!

The people of the forest did not have nowhere to escape like the pirates of the salt pans, and fled back into the forest if the situation was not right, did the legion dare to venture into the forest that they were not familiar with at all, and the people of the forest had taken root for thousands of years?

It's just an anniversary replay of the mega event "Battle of Pendrac"!

That's why Arthur will take the risk and let John and the others as bait, and when the forest people can't attack and retreat, Ron will surround them from the outside, so that even if they can't be all beheaded, the remaining forest people can no longer threaten the rear of the legion.
