Chapter Eighty-Seven: Offensive and Defensive Battles
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
"Ha, it seems that those Flo people are really anxious this time." Looking at the dense army outside the castle and the fluttering flags, Karl licked his lips.
He had never been so nervous in his life, and there was already a little sweat in his palms.
"Don't worry about my lords, they're just a rabble and can't take ours." Sylvia straightened up the chain mail on her body to make it fit better.
"Yes, the Lord's light will bless you, and it is impossible for the infidels to take this place!" Ser Vane crossed the cross, but his eyes were more cold and determined than ever, they had taken this place with great difficulty, and it was impossible for the enemy to allow the enemy to take it again!
"Hahaha, my knight, with you, how could I fail!" Karl laughed, he could feel the faith coming from his own knight.
"Those savage and stupid Flo people don't know how to use asphalt, and even if they did, we would have been prepared!" Kevin looked at the dozens of buckets of boiling water around him, although the water was not enough to extinguish the asphalt, but at least it could reduce the threat of asphalt, and besides, these boiling water were not mainly prepared for asphalt.
Karl nodded, they were ready.
"The enemy is ready to attack!" Kevin's expression was serious, and the military formation on the opposite side made some strong sounds, not knowing what they were fighting, but they all knew that it was the meaning of attack.
Dortmund Castle is a castle built on a hill, and the only way to attack here is that rugged mountain road, so Carl's defensive pressure is much less, and he doesn't have to worry about attacking from all sides, unless the enemy has a glider, but Carl doesn't believe that there is such a thing in this era, if he is afraid that he will find the leader of the other party to say "odd and even unchanged" to the code.
"Stupid, despicable Dillmans, you have succeeded in provoking me by taking this place by dirty means, and now I give you a chance to surrender and open the floodgates at once!"
The roar of the Dortmund chief came, and although it was far away, Karl and the others could still vaguely hear his voice.
"What is he talking about?" Carl shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe he's saying he wants a chicken leg?" Kevin laughed.
"He's making us surrender to my honorable lord." Leif, who had followed Sylvia back to Dortmund Castle, sighed, knowing that this was a mockery by these Dillman nobles, but he couldn't help but explain.
"Surrender? Are all the gods he worships fools? Otherwise, I can't imagine that their followers would be so stupid. "Karl made no secret of his contempt, and on the battlefield it was right to strategically contempt the enemy.
Leif heard Karl insulting the gods of the Hiyolm cult and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"Lord Sir, I always don't think it's a good thing for you to have a Flo follow you." Sir Vane glanced at Reif and said.
"Don't be like that, my dear sir, Reif has renounced his faith, and now he is a glorious Catholic!" Karl waved his hand, he didn't want infighting in his army.
"Okay." Vahn stopped talking, after all he knew that Reif had performed the ritual of cutting off the wooden figurines that represented the gods of the Shiyom Cult.
"Leif, tell them that Dortmund is already my territory, let them get out of here immediately!"
Leif shouted Karl's words as they were, and sure enough, Chief Dortmund burst into a rage, which was simply the greatest humiliation to him.
He cursed Carl and Leif constantly, and in his opinion he was a traitor, and he had no qualifications to be a Flo.
"Don't be provoked by my second brother, meaningless anger at this moment can be of any use to you, it will only reduce your grasp of the battlefield!" Chief Normaburg roared.
Hearing Chief Normaburg's words, Chief Dortmund took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood as much as possible, but the anger and hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Attack, take Dortmund Castle back for me!" The Dortmund chieftain raised his sword, and the infantry immediately stirred slightly, but quickly left the array and walked onto the rugged mountain road.
Now that Karl was present, the task of commanding the army naturally fell to Karl, who stared at the enemy's distance.
The knights around him were also nervous, after all, this was a real siege, and this time they would be on the defensive side.
"Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps...... One hundred steps...... Shoot the arrows! ”
Countless arrows were shot from the arrow towers, causing huge casualties with the advantage of high against low.
In the battle to defend the city, the archers are absolutely terrifying, in fact, Dortmund Castle itself is a very strong and difficult to attack castle, but Karl whimsically used asphalt as a rocket to make the enemies in the castle defenseless, which led to a miraculous victory.
Seeing the continuous casualties of his own troops, Chief Dortmund was unmoved, he knew that such casualties were indispensable, and besides, most of the dead now were conscripted and forcibly captured light infantry, that is, those worthless cheap slaves, he didn't care about their lives or deaths.
"Have we spilled all the asphalt?" Karl asked Sylvia, holding back his heart beating wildly from nervousness.
"Of course, my lord, we don't have much asphalt left, and it's not much use to make rockets, so we've poured it all on as you ordered, and only kept a few rockets!" Sylvia patted her chest and reassured.
"That's good." Karl nodded, and returned his gaze to the battlefield, at this time, as the enemy advanced, the army of the Dortmund chieftain was getting closer and closer to the wall, and even someone had already taken out the long ladder and prepared to put it on the wall.
"Sir, aren't we going to light the asphalt? They're already going to take the city! Sir Vahn was in a hurry, and the light infantry began to climb the long ladder.
"Wait, stop them for me!" Carl shook his head, now is not the best time.
But even so, it is not so easy for the Flo people to climb the city wall, two or three hundred soldiers gathered on the city wall, blocked together, the Flo people want to climb the top of the city is simply a fool's dream, if you want to do it, then the life is piled up!
"Die!" An axeman slammed his axe into the hand of a helmeted infantryman, knocking the Flo man unconscious and tumbling down the ladder.
"Good!"
The soldiers around cheered, such a thing would give them morale.
"It's time, ignition!"
Karl drank suddenly, and Sir Vahn, who had been prepared, narrowed his left eye, pulled the bowstring with his hand, and the arrow shot accurately at the asphalt-paved mountain road.
Sir Vane is a true knight, and a knight who has been trained from childhood to adulthood, his archery skills are absolutely top-notch, and the rocket is like a red lightning bolt!
When encountering the fire, the asphalt pavement suddenly burned, like a sea of fire, and the enemies in the fire showed terror, which made them feel like they were in hell.
"Damn it, our warriors!" The chief of Fort Norma was stunned, and he could clearly see that the sea of fire had enveloped him and a dozen warriors of the Dortmund chieftain!
That's right, that's exactly what Carl was aiming for, and when the Flo warriors full of chain mail stepped into his trap, he would do it in one fell swoop.
"Ahhh
The warriors were roaring, or rather wailing in pain, and the fierce flames brought about a heat like the scorching sun, roasting the Flo people inside the chain mail like roast pigs, and the chain mail was burned red.
"......"
The sound of almost roasting meat made the soldiers around them go crazy, and it was a chill that made them feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hahaha, they're finished!"
Kevin laughed, this sea of fire was wrapped in not only a dozen knights, but also nearly a hundred light infantry, which was like purgatory on earth.
The serfs were set on fire by the clothes on their bodies, the cotton armor burned faster, and the leather armor was full of the smell of burning.
"Carl Dias!" Chief Dortmund roared angrily, he was like a thunderous orangutan at the moment, he wanted to do something, but he had no choice but to scratch his ears and cheeks.
"Seize the opportunity and clean up these guys for me!" Karl ordered.
The sea of fire temporarily became a wall that blocked the entire mountain road, and the soldiers behind could not break through, and the soldiers in front could not retreat.
And this is a very good opportunity, Karl's army is encircling and slashing the soldiers who try to climb up, pushing the ladder away, or chopping them, and they have a lot of time to do these things.
In other words, this time the flames not only deprived the lives of the soldiers in the sea of fire, but also indirectly took the lives of more than 100 soldiers close to the city wall.
"Bang dang!"
At that moment, an arrow struck Carl in the head, shocking him.
The vertigo made him almost powerless to control his body, and he only felt that his vision was blurry.
"Ahh Karl let out a beastly roar and shook his head violently, which dispelled the vertigo, but luckily he had a helmet and the arrow was clearly lacking in strength.
"Sir, how are you?" Kevin and Sylvia also found out about this scene and hurriedly protected Carl.
"It's okay, keep fighting!" Carl gritted his teeth, this is the battlefield, no matter how good the advantage is, but it will still be easily killed, fortunately he has a big life this time.
"Click, Click, Rub ......"
The iron gates were opened, and well-trained knights poured out, harvesting the soldiers between the fire and the walls like wheat straw, and in the blink of an eye the blood flowed profusely.
"Come back!"
Seeing that it was almost over, Karl gave an order, and the knights entered the city wall in an orderly manner, and the iron gate was lowered again, and it was slammed into the ground.
