"Aim at the city gate, let me go!" With a loud shout from Statunko, more than a dozen soldiers operating the catapult winch violently loosened the noose of the trebuchet, and the incendiary bomb infected with the original tar drew a bright arc, smashing the wooden arrow tower above the Kasha city gate.
The "boom" incendiary bomb exploded on the surface of the arrow tower, and the scattered sparks were like bursting fire, and several soldiers nearby who could not dodge were contaminated with their bodies, and the original tar that could not be extinguished quickly turned several soldiers into burning people, and they all screamed and rolled down from the city.
Illuminated by the blazing flames of the tower, the Dusmore soldiers guarding the castle pale as they looked at the vast army that emerged from the darkness in the distance.
"Enemy, there is an enemy there! at least one legion!" the panicked defender hysterically pointed at the crowded enemy outside the castle, this was the largest number of enemies this soldier had ever seen in his life, the black head was like a swarm of wriggling ants, and the shimmering cold light of the spear was erected, and the murderous aura surrounded the entire city of Kasha like an iron bucket.
The whistle of the trombone "woo" came and went in Kasha City, and the whole Kasha City was like a hornet nested in a barrel, the fire was in the sky, and the voices of people were as loud as daytime, but the corresponding enemy was quiet outside the city.
"Your Excellency, let's attack the city! Now that the city is in chaos, there are only 150 soldiers in the entire Kasha City, and with our 1,400-strong army, we can easily break through the city wall defense at one time! At dawn, we will be able to hold a celebration banquet in Kasha City!"
The leader of the hunters, Crorysat, looked at Du Yu next to him with a ruddy face, and licked his slightly dry mouth with his tongue excitedly, all the hunters in the mountains knew that Croisette would feel dry lips as soon as he was excited,
When hunting in the mountains, Crowissart always moistens her lips with the blood of killing her prey, so Crowissart is also called "Bloodthirsty in the Mountains" by hunters
In the previous battles with Du Yu against Lord Kestora, due to the excellent performance of the hunters led by Crorysat, Du Yu also specially rewarded Croissat with ten gold coins alone, which made the hunter leader even more desperate for Du Yu, and after returning to his tribe, he not only trumpeted Du Yu's generosity and benevolence, but also brought the hunters of the entire tribe after receiving Du Yu's requisition order this time, and there were more than 100 people, who were organized into a hunter brigade by Du Yu.
"Order the whole army to camp on the spot and dig pits to make food, I'm hungry!" To everyone's surprise, just when everyone thought that Du Yu would give the order to attack the city, Du Yu sat on the ground and took off the heavy knight's face armor on his head, looking hungry.
"My lord, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, it will be difficult to encounter it again!" Statunko looked at his lord angrily, his throat was dry anxiously, and he felt a kind of excitement of vomiting blood,
Statunko felt that Kashacheng was like a beautiful young woman who had been stripped of her clothes and twisted her waist in front of her, but she found that she was impotent, and this wordless grievance made Statunko almost faint from depression.
"At this time, if you don't take advantage of the chaos to attack Kasha City, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity after dawn, although the defenders of Kasha City only have 150 people, but there are still 20 knights who can fight well, and you only need to guard Kasha City for a day, Kuhn's reinforcements can arrive" Statunko tried to fight for the last chance.
"I'm hungry, how can you make everyone hungry and attack the city! Eat breakfast first and then talk about it" Du Yu ignored Statunko's anxious and already scorched face, and just blindly urged Statunko to arrange breakfast quickly, seeing the resolute look on Du Yu's face, Stauenko only stomped his feet in anger and had no choice.
The chaos in Kasha City continued until dawn, and the knights found that the enemy outside the city did not take advantage of the night to start a siege battle against Kasha City, but strangely began to cook and camp on the spot, putting on a trapped posture, and the defenders in the city were confused, and hurriedly sent the knights who stayed in Kasha City to ask the Lord of Dusaskk for help, and they rushed out of the encirclement without any hindrance.
"My lord, why don't we take advantage of the night to directly attack Kasha City, but surround Kasha City? For the knight who ran out for help just now, the lord also ordered that there was no block, if Dusaske sent troops to rescue, I am afraid that this battle will be very difficult, after all, they still have a squadron of knights in their hands!"
Outside Kasha City, Statunko, who was commanding the soldiers to camp, looked at Du Yu with indignation on his face, and was indignant that such a good opportunity last night was given up by his own lord in vain.
Du Yu looked at the puzzled look on Statunenko's face, smiled slightly, stood up, pointed to the 1,400 soldiers who were camping, and asked Statunenko, "I have 600 spearmen under my command, I don't know if I can resist the charge of a squadron of heavy knights?"
"Absolutely impossible, not to mention 600 spearmen! Even 1000 spearmen may not be able to resist the charge of a knight in heavy armor in a squadron, and that simple iron-tipped long wooden pole also wants to pierce the heavy armor of the knight?"
Statunenko denied with an uneven face, for Du Yu wasting such a good opportunity to capture Sand City last night, Statunenko was still angry, and naturally there would not be too much respect in his tone,
If it weren't for Du Yu being the lord he was loyal to, Statunko would have absolutely believed that he would have jumped up and pointed at the fat man in front of him and scolded, "You are a pig's head!"
"What about the 400 Iron Cone Shields, which are all triangular iron cones specially equipped to deal with heavily armored elite infantry and knights," Du Yu continued to ask disapprovingly
"The Iron Cone Shield Soldier can only pose a threat to the Heavy Armored Knight when the Knight is entangled, and the Iron Cone Soldier can only be slaughtered if he is close to the Knight who has charged, and the Iron Cone Soldier can only be slaughtered, don't you even know this truth, for the Heavy Knight team that has charged, only another Heavy Knight can compete with it!"
Statunko felt that his lord was an idiot who lacked the common sense of war, like a mischievous child who fantasized about relying on a few hundred lightly armed infantry to compete with nearly a hundred hoplites.
"You're so right, I think so too!That's why I didn't attack Kasha City!" Du Yu patted Statunko's shoulder with a satisfied face, and patted the angry Statunko's head in confusion.
"It is precisely because our light infantry is not yet able to confront the knights in the front, that I ordered the soldiers not to block the knights who ran out of Kasha City, from Kasha City to Kuhn Castle to run non-stop for half a day, one back and forth is the whole day,
When night falls, and the anxious rush to the rescue, the exhausted army of Dusaskk will crash headlong into the "death trap" that we have already woven for him.
This time, I don't just want the Dusmore family's Kasha City, I also want to eat the entire Dusask's territory! I want these side tribes to spit out all the territories they swallowed!" Du Yujing's glittering eyes flashed with fierce battle intent.
"Those heavy knights, how are you going to deal with it, my lord, our light infantry is very capable of competing with them!" After listening to Du Yu's words, Statunko's originally decadent face suddenly became energetic,
Statunko didn't expect that his lord had such a grand plan in his heart, as long as the two big families that split the northern territory were recovered, the other weak side branches would definitely submit to the power of the patriarch, and the day when the family territory would return to the Falcon banner was just around the corner.
"Those knights? haha, I really don't pay attention to those stupid knights who only know how to charge, we have a whole day to prepare, and I have ordered the hunter leader Crorysat to prepare a magnificent feast for those self-righteous knights in the Caysto Canyon!"
Du Yu took out a piece of parchment from his arms with a proud face, and slowly spread it out in front of Statunko, revealing that it was a map with blue thick artemisia grass juice drawn on it.
"This is the topographic map of the territory drawn by the patriarchs of the Falcon family for generations, only the patriarch of the family is qualified to inherit it, I found this territory map when I was packing up my father's relics a few days ago, if there is no it, this plan is really a little difficult!"
Du Yu held down the windblown map with five fingers in his left hand, pointed to a canyon sign in the northwest direction outside Kasha City with his right hand, and looked at Statunko with a solemn face, and the words he said made Statunko feel cold in his vest.
"As long as Dusassk dares to enter this canyon, I am sure that he will be left without bones!"
