Just when the fat man was stunned, the light infantry of the Tiger Legion had begun to climb towards the city wall, although the defenders of the fortress were shooting desperately on it, but the wall of more than a thousand meters long made the defenders of only a few hundred people stretched,
The Satsuma crossbowmen on the city wall kept firing at the light infantry who climbed the siege ladder, and the corpses fell from the siege ladders, and immediately new round shields were replaced, and the spears of the defenders drove the light infantry who climbed up the city to the city walls, and another group continued to pour up, and the two sides strangled together, and the screams resounded through the city walls, and the blood splashed down from the ladders and stained the faces of the soldiers waiting below, and the fallen corpses were often trampled under their feet
The dense crowd of human heads under the city was like the rising tide of the sea, surging towards the outer wall of the fortress of Toda, which was not high, a wave crashed and dissipated into pieces, and another larger wave followed, part of the city wall was about to be lost, although the resistance of the Samoorians was valiant, but there were too many enemies, in order to achieve the suddenness and overwhelmingness of the attack, Helisatus threw the two light infantry regiments of the legion and the archer brigade into it, and under the city of the fortress of Toda, more than 6,000 people gathered,
Six thousand people versus several hundred people, this gap can not be made up by the city wall, in the woods in front of the fortress of Toda, a black line slowly appeared, a group of about 8,000 light cavalry corps appeared in the woods, did not continue to move, just coldly watched the two sides of the fierce battle on the head of the city,
"Whoosh!whoosh!" The bow brigade that entered the attack range began to cover the Satima crossbowmen on the city wall with a rain of arrows, and the Satima on the city head fell down "Woo!" As the bow and arrow brigade under the city began to fight back, the Satima on the city wall finally couldn't resist it anymore and sounded the trombone to abandon the city wall.
"Hehe! The Satsuma army is nothing more than that!" Helisatus, the leader of the Tiger Legion who served as the vanguard, smiled contemptuously, looked at the light infantry regiment that was about to rush to the outer wall of the fortress, and turned around disapprovingly, beside him stood a middle-aged knight with a deep face, several light cavalry wearing chain mail behind him, and a blood-colored long cloak made people look sideways,
This is the symbol of the commander of the Kingdom Guard, for this middle-aged knight, Helisatus showed a rare awe, although his heart was arrogant, he did not dare to show that he was too much, the Kingdom Guard is not only a sign of strength, but also a sign of status, but not a second-rate army like himself can be offended.
"Commander of the Tatiso Banner, I'm right, with the combat strength of our Tiger Legion, it will only take an hour at most to take down such a loosely defended fortress, and Lord Duaikri actually sent your Eighth Banner Regiment to assist in the attack, I really look down on those stupid peasants of Samori!"
"Captain Helisatus, you're so polite!" The middle-aged knight did not care about the arrogance of Helisatos, among the private army generals who ranked seniority, Helisatus was also an alternative, because the family was downtrodden in the early years, and he was a mercenary who worked the battlefield for several years, and he has always been known for his flamboyant personality and tenacious style, and most of the troops under his command also uphold this habit, the troops are more than strong in attack, insufficient in defense, good at fighting tough battles, and fighting to the death, that is, the guards cavalry group of the Kujites, this second stunned man also dares to touch it, so this time the Marquis of Duakry specially sent himself, just for fear that this second stunned man will go crazy again and delay the big event。
"Lord Marquis Duakry has repeatedly instructed that this fortress is related to the overall situation of the entire battle, if the commander of the regiment needs any help, just ask! Although our Eighth Banner Regiment is a light cavalry regiment, please believe that as long as you can take the outer city walls, our light cavalry can rush in and kill the Samoorians like weeds!"
"Hehe! That's nature!" Regarding Tatiso's words, Helisatus pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and secretly said in his heart, "The city walls have been taken by Lao Tzu, and you only attacked, although Lao Tzu's Tiger Legion is only a second-line infantry legion, and it is not enough to beg you to take credit!"
"No, you can't let him see Lord Duysatus's intentions! You still have to rely on this idiot to play the striker" Seeing Helisatus's slightly dissatisfied look, how did the treacherous Tatiso not know what Helisatus was thinking, he smiled and patted Helisatus on the shoulder, and said with relief, "If this raid campaign is successful, the Captain of Helisatus will be the first merit, and Lord Duaikri will not treat the Commander of the Legion badly!"
"Order those little bunnies in front of you to stop playing, and quickly clean up the fortress for me!" Hearing Tatiso's words, Helisatus smiled, "Remember, don't take prisoners, kill them all!"
Just as Helisatus excitedly gave the order, the mutation protruded
"Boom!" More than a dozen violent explosions came from the head of the fortress, like a thunderstorm that stunned everyone, a tiger soldier who cleaned the city wall touched the mechanism placed by the defenders on the city road, and more than ten round wooden barrels rolled out from the three city road crossings,
The aristocratic private army, who had never seen crude oil barrels, took these wooden barrels filled with liquid as wine barrels, and gathered around them happily, but soon they felt that something was wrong, a foul smell spread under their feet, and black liquid flowed out of some of the barrels, mixed with a slight whistling sound,
"Use the spear! Look what's inside!" snapped a private squad leader, and the nearby soldiers immediately plunged their spears into the barrel, and black liquid poured out.
"What's that?" the team leader crouched down curiously, dipping his fingers in a little crude oil and putting it in his mouth, the smell of the nose made him uncomfortable, "Bah, what the hell!", and kicked the barrel over in annoyance, and the black liquid flowed faster
At this time, I suddenly heard a dense drum beat in the fortress, and then countless rockets flew down from the sky, and the crude oil on the ground was caught on fire, and the fire suddenly rose a few meters high, and swept more than a dozen people nearby by the wind.
The other dozen intact sealed crude oil barrels are like violent flame bombs, exploding in the blazing fire, and the sputtered crude oil sparks quickly spread throughout the city wall, and there are constantly wooden barrels rolling down from the city road, and the Tiger soldiers crowded on the city wall wail in the fire, and more than 3,000 private troops who rushed to the city wall were surrounded by fire, and when it was found that these flames could not be extinguished, the most tragic situation appeared, countless figures were on fire, jumping from the city wall more than ten meters high, thousands of people were driven down by the wall of fire, and some people ran on the siege vehicles connected to the city wall, but the fire quickly spread, and the building cars built of wood collapsed in the fire, The people crowded on it fell like raindrops, the charred corpses were all over the city, and a helpless look appeared on the faces of every soldier, and the situation on the city wall was like hell, and the Tiger Legion, which was still full of morale just now, was completely crippled.
"Damn! despicable Samoor!" Helisatos, who had been in high spirits just now, had blood-red eyes, and even if he was upright, he knew that this was a trap! The commander of the fortress of Toda had clearly laid a trap to attract his own brigade to attack with a small number of defenders, and then set himself on fire
"No, I can't pay all my money here!" The grieving Helisatus was not stupid,
"Commander Tatiso, you have seen it, my legion has lost more than half of it, and I can't continue to attack!" Helisatus began to retreat, from the very beginning, Helisatus felt that this treacherous and cunning Tatiso was watching over him even more,
"Commander Helisatus, you should still remember what the Marquis of Duakry said at the Kyoto Conference!" Tatiso replied with a cold face, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, Lord Duakli has already commanded, if your legion retreats without authorization, our Eighth Cavalry Legion has the right to deal with it!"
"You!" Helisatus's face flushed with anger, Tatiso looked up indifferently, and looked at the sky, "It's past noon, tonight, Lord Duerik will arrive with the army, you still have an afternoon, don't say I didn't remind you, Lord Duaikri is a habit, you know, if you don't want your head to be hung on the camp gate, it's best to organize the next wave of attacks immediately!"
