Verse 30 - Badness
A round of light floated again in Cedartown's old Aemon's Inn, and while the Portlander magicians could disable it, it was now looking at Cedar Town itself, including the Stonewall.
This allowed everyone in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, which served as a temporary headquarters, to see that the town guard was doing their best to resist the Portlanders' attack.
Fortunately, the people who were able to participate in the defense of the stone wall were not weak, most of them were composed of soldiers of the original town guard, caravan guards, and civilian warriors, and even the original brave and fierce gangsters in the town were also involved.
Once the town fell, there was no room for these scoundrels to survive, and these guys completely regarded the invaders as their counterparts who came to grab the market, except for the initial chaos, they quickly calmed down again.
The spearmen who were the first to attack Cedar were the spearmen, some of whom had abandoned their spears with shields in their hands and joined forces to charge towards the stone wall with a rough ladder.
"Archers, free fire!"
Terry, the archer of the town guard who can be compared to the black feather eagle with his eyes, has become the leader of the bow team in the town, and there is no need for Li Mubing to say more, the people of the town guard naturally know what to do now.
Fortunately, Charlie the Three-Eyed persuaded the town guard soldiers to stay behind accounted for nearly sixty percent, twice as many as the original ones.
Most of those who stayed behind had relatives in the town, and they didn't want to see their loved ones slaughtered by the Portlanders, so they decided to stay and buy their families more time, even if it was a little more to Lean City.
Scattered arrows were shot into the open area outside the stone wall, and from time to time the unlucky Portland spear and shield soldiers were shot down, but most of the time, the arrows shot by Cedar Town were blocked by the opponent's half-body shield, and if it was replaced by the dragon knight's big bow, I am afraid that an arrow could shoot directly through it.
The difference in equipment is the biggest difference between the militia and the regular army.
In the blink of an eye, the Portland spear and shield soldiers rushed under the stone wall and began to build ladders to charge.
"Spearmen! Gunslingers! Poke those Portland mongrels down. ”
"Others, bring up the wooden rafts, archers, don't stop!"
The east side of Cedar Town suddenly shouted to the sky, and one by one strong men with both hands clasped to the thick wooden pole rushed to the wall on the wooden ladder frame, although there was no metal spear tip, but the power of the specially sharpened and scorched wooden pole when stabbing should not be underestimated, even if it failed to stab the enemy's body, it could still knock the opponent under the stone wall and fall half to death.
Four or five spearmen waited on a wooden ladder and took turns stabbing the attacking Portlanders.
I don't know how many generations of the Bart family have built up little by little, and the thick stone wall to defend against wild beasts and robbers has played a huge role at this moment, and the soldiers of the town guard, who occupy the geographical advantage, work together to stab or knock down the enemies who are about to rush to the top of the wall.
"The first squad of archers, step forward and shoot freely to suppress the wall. ”
The Portland centurion, who was in charge of launching the first wave of the attack, glanced at the stone wall that was in a state of stalemate, drew his sword from his sheath, and pointed in the direction of Cedar Town.
A group of archers with quivers on their backs took dozens of steps forward, stuck their longbows more than a man high on the ground, replaced them with shorter, stiffer bows, and began to draw their bows and arrows in the direction of Cedar Town's stone walls.
This is not like an array of salvos, but each aimed at the target and began to strike accurately.
Arrows glittering with cold light slashed across the sky and shot away.
The Cedar Town spearmen, who were stabbing happily, were knocked down by the sudden powerful arrows, and fell down screaming, and the wall immediately fell into chaos, and even a loophole appeared, and the Portland spear and shield soldiers who seized the opportunity desperately attacked.
Although the spears in their hands were not easy to climb, once they stood on the wall, the advantage of being one inch long and one inch strong was immediately brought into play, the left hand half-body shield blocked, and the right hand spear stabbed violently, immediately opening two gaps in the wall of Cedar Town, and constantly squeezing the space, providing more wall foothold for the comrades in the rear.
Warriors in heavy armor would not be able to participate in such a battle for the walls, and the heavy armor was not only difficult to move, but also a major test of the load-bearing capacity of the siege ladder.
"If you don't want to die, you have to fight hard. ”
"Fight with these Portlanders!"
"Kill them!"
"Brother, avenge me!"
After completing the integration of Cedar Town, Lin Mo told everyone as soon as possible that they still had a way to live, and if they surrendered or escaped, they would die, and their families would be harmed.
The Dragon Knight's tone, which didn't seem to care about everyone's life or death, deeply stimulated the men, women, and children of Cedar Town, and no one was willing to be killed, and when they were cornered by despair, they would burst into an endless desire to survive.
In order to survive, you can really do anything, and Lin Mo and the Gemini sisters took advantage of this.
The mortals were so angry that even the gods were about to retreat, and a group of desperate rabble suddenly erupted, stopping the offensive momentum of the Portland spears and shields.
From time to time, the Slans fell off the stone wall with the Portlanders in their arms, breaking their tendons and breaking their bones, and more with red eyes huddled together and fighting hard.
The casualties of the town guards were not small, and the Portlanders were also exchanging lives for their lives, and their sophisticated equipment was weakened a lot by the melee environment, and no one knew if the next second would be a sharp blade that would suddenly stab him from behind or by the side.
Woo!
A long horn sounded from outside the town, and the Portland spears and shields on the wall immediately stopped their attack as if they had heard some order, and retreated like a tide.
The Portland commander stopped the tentative attack in time, otherwise it would not be that the Slans would be crazy about fighting spirit, but that their own soldiers would lose the most important morale, which is quite disadvantageous, especially since this is the first battle to attack the Slanc Empire.
"Report, the first round of tentative attacks is over. ”
Li Mubing shook the special tactical dagger in his hand on the wall, pressed the communicator switch in his ear, and sent the on-site information out.
In the melee, she also took the opportunity to wipe the necks of several Portland spear and shield soldiers, and the blood stained the daggers with a matte anodic finish, adding a bit of bloody killing intent.
As soon as the Portlanders retreated, the Slans on the stone wall immediately collapsed like deflated balls, panting for breath despite the blood all over their bodies, their physical strength was almost overdrawn, and they no longer had the strength to stand up, and the battle was almost less than fifteen minutes from the beginning to the end, but it made all the people who participated in the battle feel that every second was like a year, and almost every breath was unimaginably precious.
More than a dozen townspeople rushed over to the town behind the stone wall, carried the wounded down with all their hands and feet, and began emergency treatment.
Needles and threads that had been poisoned by boiling water and liquor began to stitch up the wounds that had been preliminarily treated, and the wounds were smeared as if they were not for money, and then wrapped in calico or linen, which was considered to be completed, all of which were the result of the teachings of the Gemini sisters.
In this world where there are no anti-inflammatory drugs and wound medicines, and there are no professional surgeons, whether or not they will suppurate and whether they can survive can only be left to fate.
Rao is so, the people of Cedar Town have already shocked the two sisters, as if they are not ostensibly rangers, but extremely clever pharmacists, and even the fur herb merchant Uhig has privately negotiated with Lin Mo the price of buying the twin sisters, of course, this is not to be discussed.
"It's not a good comer, and the Portlanders have a commander to be reckoned with. ”
Through the picture transmitted by the light mirror technique and Li Mubing's report, Lin Mo and Li Muxin glanced at each other, and their faces were very solemn.
The advance and retreat were well-founded, the rhythm of the battlefield was grasped in a timely manner, and both the attack and the retreat were very decisive, and the command was not dragged in the mud at all.
This means that the rest of the battle will be extremely tough, and yes, the difficulty of buying more time for the relocation team has increased by a few points.
