Chapter 018 (Fight for Honor)

The drums of "knock, knock, knock" resounded through the clouds. The besieging Targaryen soldiers were retreating to the rear, and those who had already climbed the walls had no choice but to fight to the death. The retreat was to mobilize the momentum of the army and to regroup for a new round of offensive.

More than a dozen trebuchets were reloaded with stone bullets, and the stones next to them were piled up into a hill. The moment the soldiers on the other side retreat to the camp, they will be back in operation under the operation of the engineers. Another heavy six-wheeled ram was slowly pushed out by the soldiers, which was the siege machine they needed to break through the city gates. And this time it will be an entire phalanx of soldiers protecting the ram.

The thousands of soldiers who had retreated from the battle line would be placed in the back by the commander to recuperate, and in their place would be the more elite heavy infantry legions.

"Surrender before the whole army is destroyed! I can't bear to see you and others slaughtered. Count Lorak Targaryen's lips twitched slightly, but a loud voice was heard, a technique that could be mastered by an apprentice in magic.

Sir Leon Belmont roared like a raging lion, "A group of tigers and wolves are trying to take this city from me. ”

"Kaesong surrenders, spare your lives," Count Lorac swore coldly, "if our army breaks through the gates, the whole city will be bloodied." "Under the attack of tens of thousands of troops, the opposite city will undoubtedly be destroyed, but it will have to pay a heavier price. As the commander-in-chief, Count Lorac tried to use negotiation methods to intimidate the generals defending the city into surrendering.

"The city is in the people, the city is ruined," Sir Lyon replied in an unsuppressed and angry tone, "fight to the end, never die." "The honor of a knight did not allow him to surrender, and the title of nobility made him unable to accept humiliation.

"Don't you think about your men and your soldiers, and you have to kill them?" Lorak's voice was even more indifferent than before, "You really can't bear to be slaughtered and the whole city to be slaughtered?"

"They are valiant warriors, who have died for the sake of honor," Sir Lyon pointed out sharply, "and I will surely burn the city before it is broken, and the people of the city will never fall into your hands." ”

Count Lorak's face stiffened, and he was taken aback by what he said. This brief negotiation has been shattered, and only the sword can win, the old man thought to himself, let the blood and fire stain the city red!

Under the command of the commander, the engineers operated a huge trebuchet to re-operate, only to see the flying stone projectiles and fireballs thrown out by the trebuchet, and these extremely destructive munitions fell directly on the solid city wall in front of them after cutting a perfect arc in the sky.

Stones and bottles of oil continued to fall from the sky, and the soldiers had to crouch down and hide behind the battlements, hiding in the corners to avoid these deadly injuries. And some of the stone bullets that landed on the city walls were often able to take the lives of those soldiers without warning.

"The order was given to continue the siege of the city, and the whole army went out. Count Lorak's voice deepened. If every city captured in the Golden Land was met with an unyielding general, it would bring unimaginable casualties and hardships to his soldiers.

"Yes. Baron Curvin replied. He couldn't wait to lead his soldiers into battle, and this time he vowed that he would take the city on the other side, no matter how much it cost.

Thousands of soldiers, under the orders of the commander, rushed to the opposite wall, they were not afraid of life and death, they were not afraid of the boiling oil, stones, wood, and the sharp swords that awaited them, they wanted to seize the opposite wall and win the war.

War satisfies their belligerent instincts, and it also satisfies their desire for plunder and honor, but gold and land are the main sources of this war. However, the Golden Land is the richest land in the Cannia Federation, almost all over the gold and silver mines, and people are fighting for it.

"Although we are alone, our loving Heavenly Father has given us the strength to be fearless in the face of an armies of powerful enemies. Sir Lyon insisted in a loud voice, "Though the ferocious wolves and leopards will pounce on us, we will give them a head-on blow." ”

Soldiers need someone to boost their momentum, they need strength, and they need faith. Only strength and faith can give them the courage to persevere, and only then can they bravely face strong enemies.

"Since there is no hope of escaping, instead of scattering and fleeing to be slaughtered, why not fight to the death to become a hero's honor. Sir Leon stood on the turret and continued to utter a high-pitched voice, "Valliant warriors, tell me, do you want to continue the fight?"

In the face of an enemy dozens of times their own, who can not be afraid in the moment of life and death? Can people still be brave when they are afraid? Only when people are afraid can they throw down a qiē and bravely fight to the death.

"Fight, fight,"

"Fight, fight..."

......

"You are not fighting for me, nor for this city," Sir Lyon emphasized, "but for honour, for home, and for your loved ones." "Commanders who are brave and good at fighting are often able to use fierce and sincere words to inspire their subordinates to fight to the death in a desperate situation.

"It is better to be a lion for a day than to live like a sheep for a hundred years." Oster stood on the other side of the turret and burst out, "Warriors, defend our homes and loved ones, and let the enemy groan like wild dogs under your sword." His voice roared like a dragon, resounding through the sky.

The knights of the Order of Glory raised their swords in high and echoed in unison, "Defend our homeland and loved ones to the death." ”

"Fight, fight,"

"Fight, fight"

"Fight..."

The figure of the enemy has rushed to the top of the city, and the battle has begun, and the soldiers of both sides are like two fierce lions fighting for territory, making a final duel to the death.

Each figure fell, replaced by another, and the soldiers fought in such a cycle, and the clash of swords was uninterrupted.

The brave and fearless knights of the Knights of Glory fought their way to the front of the city, their swords stained with the blood of their enemies, and their heavy armor already being crushed by the enemy's blades. Sharp blades slashed across their bodies, red blood running through their wounds, but they remained strong and clenched their swords.

"Sir Bob, go to the Earl's Castle and look for Gavin," commanded Sir Leon, "and when you find him, escort him out of the city on a fast horse." "The Earl of Golden Tooth, his nephew, the grandson of Duke Philip, must not fall into the hands of House Targaryen.

"Yes, sir. Sir Bob did not stop for the moment, and turned and took his orders. He is not afraid of a strong enemy on the opposite side, he is not afraid of death, but the first duty of a knight is to obey orders.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this war, and the destruction of the city is only sooner or later. A few hundred valiant knights may be able to help Sir Leon's soldiers hold out until dawn, or they may not last that long. It would take at least two to three days for Sir Simon Bryan's reinforcements to reach the Golden Tooth.

"Sir Randy, I command you to move all the inhabitants of the city out of the city at once, and take them out of the east gate and rush to Boulder City overnight. Sir Leon's expression was solemn and stern, "Remember that no one is left behind, and those who do not want to go, you should sue them, once the walls are breached, there will be no mercy and forgiveness waiting for them, only the family will be ruined."

"My lord, cherish. Sir Randy bowed in response. He didn't know if he would see each other again.

"Precious. ”
