Chapter 443: Crazy Watson Gill
Looking at the chaotic Watson Gill army by the moat, Li Yunyang smiled with satisfaction, glanced back at Herris, and praised him: "You have a good trick of killing people with a knife, after this war, you will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins!"
Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is Li Yunyang's criterion for leading the army. Moreover, the money he rewarded was originally Watson Gill's, and using other people's money to buy people's hearts and be loyal to him made Li Yunyang feel so happy.
As soon as Herris heard the word gold coin, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his tired face, and he said to Li Yunyang: "My lord, thank you for your generosity, your subordinate Herris, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. ”
"Get out of here!"
Li Yunyang kicked Herris away, and ordered Wagle to take the three thousand laborers to the hole in the city wall, and gave each of them a long sword and a few spears, so that once they found that the enemy dared to climb from the siege ladder to the city wall, they would directly stab the spear through the hole in the city wall.
After all, compared to the militia of Fort Art, the combat effectiveness of these laborers is really weak, and they cannot fight the enemy head-on.
Moreover, Li Yunyang once promised the villagers in the village that he would send back all the people in their village who were arrested and sent to Fort Arte to do hard labor, so he would arrange for them to defend in such a safe place.
As for the reward for participating in the war, it was just an excuse for Li Yunyang to find an excuse to give them a sum of money and let them go back to live a good life.
However, the biggest reason why Li Yunyang let these hard workers participate in the war was to let them see blood. In the future, if someone arrests someone in their village, they should take up arms and resist, instead of watching their family members being humiliated, and they themselves are powerless and taken away like animals!
"The ballistas are wound, the catapults are ready, and the archers' arrows are all on fire!"
When the militiamen of Fort Art stood on the defensive line of the city wall, Li Yunyang gave an order, and the whole army immediately entered a combat readiness posture.
Watsongill anxiously turned the wrench on his thumb, looking at the fortified defense of Fort Art, and couldn't help but sigh, he never thought that the military castle he had built to defend against the enemy army would now become a steel defense line that hindered him.
It's just that Watson Gill doesn't have much grain and grass with him, and if he delays any longer, when the grain and grass are exhausted, that will be the day of his defeat.
Therefore, even though he knew that the strong attack would lead to heavy casualties among his army, Watsongill could not afford to spend it any longer, so he immediately ordered: "The infantry is ready to build a pontoon bridge, and the others immediately assemble the siege equipment, and when the pontoon bridge is built, they will start attacking." ”
This time, Watson Gill brought an army of nearly 25,000 people, and it didn't take much time to build a few pontoon bridges that could be used by the whole army.
Moreover, Watsongill knew that this attack on Fort Arte would definitely be a difficult battle, so he brought enough siege equipment, but he could not bring too much food and grass.
"Catapults, fire oil bombs, ballistas fire!"
When Watson Gill's army slowly pushed the assembled ballistas and catapults to the front of the formation, Li Yunyang saw this opportunity and immediately ordered to start attacking.
Dozens of flaming fire bombs, as well as crossbow arrows roaring in the wind, all blasted into the front line of Watsongill's army.
"Bang!"
A fire oil bomb hit it directly, and the pole of a catapult turned it into a pile of garbage. The stout crossbow bolt still exerts its powerful attack power, whether it hits the opponent's catapult or ballista, it will be scrapped with one arrow.
"Counterattack, speed counterattack! You idiots, don't hide!"
Several catapults and ballistas were smashed to pieces before they could play any role, and Watson Gill yelled at the front army in a rage, but he could not turn the situation around.
After all, Li Yunyang's army had long been in battle, while Watsongill's army was a latecomer, and it was still below in terms of geography, and it was a fool's dream to counterattack the enemy on the wall of more than 20 meters.
"Infantry thousands, bring the siege ladder and cross the river quickly!"
Although Watsongill was angry, as a lord who had been fighting all year round, he naturally would not be out of proportion in this situation, and immediately saw the gap between the attacks of Li Yunyang's army, and directly sent the army up.
"All archers ready!"
Li Yunyang stood at the head of the wall, estimating the distance of the enemy's crossing the river, and when most of the people carried the ladder and just walked to the middle of the river, he immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!"
The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, with the whistling sound of breaking the wind, fell on the heads of the enemy troops crossing the river. For a while, the screams were incessant, and the slightly turbid river water was immediately red with the blood of the wounded or dead soldiers, and the corpses floated downstream with the river.
The siege brigade of 5,000 people, under the arrows of Li Yunyang's army, directly lost more than half, and countless soldiers looked at the corpses of their companions, stunned in place, and did not dare to take another half a step forward, for fear that he would be the next to die.
"Bastards, you fools! All the infantry raise the siege ladder and charge me on the wall!"
Watson Gill stared at Li Yunyang from afar, eager to skin him and swallow him alive, after giving this order, he looked at the east side of the city wall of Fort Art, the five hell demon leopards lurking in the shadows and climbing up the city wall, and couldn't help but sneer.
Another rain of arrows fell, and Watsongill's soldiers lost nearly a thousand men again, but they also rushed to the city wall, set up a high siege ladder, and quickly climbed towards the wall with long swords in their mouths.
"Pour the oil!"
When these soldiers climbed halfway, Li Yunyang ordered the soldiers to splash the fire oil piled on the city wall on the ladder, and then the torches fell, and the entire ladder suddenly became a sea of fire.
There were soldiers who were constantly burned by the flames, fell from the high ladder to the ground, and fell directly to their deaths, while the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape took advantage of this gap and continued to climb up the ladder.
What was just waiting for them was countless boulders falling from the sky, and before they even had time to scream, the infantry who rushed up the ladder were smashed into meat sauce.
The other soldiers on the city wall used the spears in their hands, and several people resisted the ladder together, and with a fierce force, they directly pushed the ladder away from the city wall, only to see that the enemy troops on the ladder fell into the moat like dumplings.
Judging from the current situation, as long as Li Yunyang's army can withstand Watsongill's offensive today, and wait until tomorrow Watsongill's army is completely damaged, then it will be Li Yunyang's day of revenge.
However, although the battle situation was favorable to Li Yunyang at this time, he did not relax in the slightest, but instead glanced at the battlefield, he still remembered that when Watson Gill came, he brought several hell demon leopards.
Judging from their size, these Hell Demon Leopards seem to have the strength of the largest Hell Demon Leopard that Li Yunyang eliminated last time.
It's just that although the number of them has increased, it doesn't pose much of a threat to Li Yunyang, the key is that this is the battlefield, if ordinary soldiers encounter them, there is no chance to resist at all.
And if these hell demon leopards devour enough flesh and blood, even if Li Yunyang has a big advantage today, I am afraid that he will be defeated in front of the hell demon leopards.
"Roar!"
A low roar suddenly came from the eastern city wall, Li Yunyang turned around and looked, and found a black shadow, slamming into the crowd on the city wall, and then he heard a scream, and blood sprayed everywhere on the city wall.
"Don't mess around, everyone, continue to stop the enemy from attacking the city, I'll deal with this guy!"
As soon as Li Yunyang locked onto the figure of the Hell Demon Leopard, he immediately activated his fighting energy, his body flashed, and the long sword in his hand stabbed directly into the head of the Hell Demon Leopard.
And this Hell Demon Leopard jumped up and slammed its back into Li Yunyang, as if it wanted to use the few bone spurs with a gloomy green light on its back to pierce Li Yunyang through!
"Look for death!"
Li Yunyang snorted disdainfully, the Hell Demon Leopard's attack method was too simple, it was no different from a beast, and it was a complete fool's dream to hurt him.
Li Yunyang didn't even take half a step back, but waved the long sword in his hand, constantly injecting fighting energy into it, and then commanded several flying swords, stabbing towards the back of the Hell Demon Leopard's neck.
"Bang!"
The Hell Demon Leopard, who was attacked by Li Yunyang's full force, exploded in an instant, revealing a strange green light that was still flickering inside. Li Yunyang didn't give it time to recover, and once again harnessed the flying sword, attacking straight at the green fire in the Hell Demon Leopard's brain.
"Zizizi!"
As if it was shrouded in ice in an instant, Li Yunyang's flying sword, as soon as it came into contact with the green fire in the Hell Demon Leopard's brain, the blade of the sword was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and quickly shrouded towards the hilt of the sword.
"Wishful thinking about taking my sword!"
After the flying sword was shrouded in ice, Li Yunyang actually found that his connection with the flying sword was weakening, and he immediately urged his fighting spirit to the peak and gathered on the flying sword.
The thick frost, under Li Yunyang's fighting spirit, instantly melted into drops of green water, which fell on the skin of the Hell Demon Leopard, and suddenly rose into green smoke.
As the hell demon leopard struggled a few times, the green fire in its eyes finally dissipated, and it whimpered, and the sunlight shone on it, turning into a wisp of greenish-black smoke that instantly dissipated.
Before this Hell Demon Leopard could have an impact on the army, it was eliminated, which made Li Yunyang breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, he heard several exclamations from behind.
When I turned around, I saw three huge hell demon leopards, rapidly climbing towards the city wall, and before everyone's exclamations fell, they rushed to the army on the city wall.
And at this moment, Watson Gill once again ordered the army to attack, and the 20,000-strong army almost poured out, taking advantage of Li Yunyang's inability to be distracted and command the battle at this time, he wanted to take Fort Yat back!
