642 Decisive Battle of the Three Counties (1)

"Quick, everybody go up to the wall!"

When the Duke of Lofthauser fell from an arrow, he happened to hear the voice of the city guard officer Moendo in the distance, at this moment, this voice is so kind and lovely, although the Duke of Lofthauser is a big straw bag, but it does not mean that he is not self-aware,

The royal family of Raldian handed over to him, the logistics center of the three northern counties of Ukhausl, not only because of his loyalty to the royal family, but also because Duke Lofthauser did have several powerful characters under his command, such as the Grand Knight Captain of Moendo is a commander with many combat experience, and Sarekel, who is in charge of finance, is the most relied on local magistrate of the royal family

In the light of the flickering fire at the entrance of the battlement, a middle-aged knight holding a shield ran over with a person,

"Lord Duke, you're alright!" he shouted loudly behind him as he half-knelt down to block the incoming arrows for the Duke who was lying on the ground waiting for death

"Dix, you immediately lead your 500 men to the eastern wall to replace the Jak, his squadron is almost overwhelmed, Ulasby, you take 200 men to guard the city gate for me, even if you die, you must not let the Kujit open the city gate......!

"Hell, you can't be in time!" Duke Lofthauser snorted with some dissatisfaction, the corners of his mouth glistening with a hint of blood, and the knights of Raldian, who had arrived with Moendo, were hurriedly carrying him out of the city road, and countless clusters of arrows with a sharp whistling sound clanged against the knight's shield

After some simple inspections, the city guard officer Moundo finally breathed a sigh of relief, the duke is fine, at least generally nothing, because the Kugit people use a composite bow used by cavalry, which is far stronger than the infantry used by regular infantry in terms of penetration of heavy armor, and Duke Lofthauser is wearing 2 layers of heavy knight's armor, although he was hit by seven or eight arrows, he was only shot through a layer of armor, and his arm was slightly injured because of the impact when his body fell, which is a result that makes people laugh and cry,

Because in order to rescue the Duke from the enemy's arrows, the knights who went to save the people were not so lucky, and the covering shots of the Kugits made them fall more than 10 people, several of whom were excellent officers, and their hot blood, splattered from the arrows that pierced the body, dripped on the face of the Duke of Lofthauser, who had most of the blood on the duke's body,

Moendo's eyes carefully examined the chaotic city wall, the red light of the flames everywhere on the city wall, the rockets of the Kugit people were like meteors, whirring into the city wall, everywhere was the fierce screams of fighting and wounded soldiers, the resolute wooden arrow tower of the city wall had been lit by rockets, like a huge candle burning,

But it can be seen that the Kujit shooting is also very messy, their cavalry compound bow is not suitable for siege, after the initial concentrated attack, they can only use occasional covering shots to cover up the lack of armor-piercing power, every time when the arrow cluster stops, the Kugit people under the city will take the cavalry small round shield to rush up, from east to west, the entire section of the city wall is an attack point, at a glance is a novice who has not attacked the city wall

For such a novice, the experienced Moundo, of course, knew what to do, and he shouted to the heralds beside him, "Tell the squadrons not to mess up! This is just a tentative attack by the enemy, as long as you hold out until dawn, the Kugit will retreat!"

"Lord Moendo, ...... There seems to be something wrong with the Duke!"

At this time, there was a shout from the knight who bandaged the duke, and Moendo glanced down, only to see that Duke Lovehauser's grunting eyes could not concentrate on one point at all, and his gaze was scattered, which was a sign of absence,

The face of the city guard officer Moendo was a little ugly, he knew that Duke Lofthauser had this disease, but he didn't expect it to attack at this moment, and the duke was obviously unable to command normally at the moment,

Under the city wall, Duo Weiyan also looked at the ukhaus in front of him with bulging eyes, as time prolonged, it was obvious that the initial panic of the Ruierdian people was calming down, especially on the city wall, the figure of elite soldiers appeared, most of them were well-equipped, and the shields and spears in their hands made the scimitars of the Kugit cavalry suppressed in the siege,

"My lord, you can't attack like this, even if you can't occupy the city wall at dawn!"

The captain of the ten thousand horses, Rui Tan'er, ran back from the front, the armor on his body was stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own, or the Rui Erdian people, from his mental point of view, it looked very wolf, and then came Rui Erdian's regular heavy infantry, with excellent combat skills, the heavy shields in his hands were lined up, constantly squeezing the defense line of the Kujits with spears, if it were not for the support of the archers under the city, the troops who rushed up the city wall might have been driven off the city wall long ago,

"How many enemies are there?" asked Duo Weiyan with concern

"It should be less than 4,000 people!" Rui Taner wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and replied with great affirmation, "We have 1,500 people rushing up, if the enemy has an overwhelming advantage, we would have been driven down a long time ago, but the other party is obviously in passive defense, obviously because of the dark night, he is afraid of our military strength, afraid that attacking without permission will expose his weakness, the entire city wall is about 600 meters long, according to the convention, this kind of defense should be a sign of insufficient troops!"

Ruitan'er paused in his voice and continued: "Among the 4,000 people, the real combat effectiveness may only be the 1,000 people who rushed to support the east wall and the city gate, and the troops we rushed up were already close to the city gate, as long as the gate was opened, our cavalry could rush in, but unfortunately it was because of them that we were completely suppressed only 20 meters away from the city gate, and we could only stare at the city gate!"

"Then what do you say? It's really going to be dawn, in order to protect ourselves, we have to retreat!" Duo Weiyan looked at him anxiously,

Everyone knows that the Kugit cavalry is not good at attacking the city, so Duo Weiyan chose to launch a surprise attack at night, and the night can cover up his true strength, and raid a large fortress with a force of 6,000 people, which is completely a gambling behavior, once the attack is unfavorable, or the strength of the troops is exposed, causing the defenders to resist desperately, the difficulty of attacking the city will increase exponentially,

"Now there is only one way!" Rui Taner hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pointed to the position of the city wall near the city gate, and said, "Concentrate your forces to take it, and then transfer the archers to the city wall, and shoot those elite soldiers from a high position, as long as the city gate is broken, our cavalry advantage can be brought into play!"
