1310 Battle of the Eastward Advance (6)

"What's going on?"

Benisaf, the commander of Dunkel, who crawled out of the rubble and dust, lifted half of his pants and looked at the situation in front of him in amazement, there were running soldiers everywhere, like a constellation of falling stars in the sky, and there were constantly fireballs like meteors falling from the sky.

The thatched-roofed houses in the castle were set on fire in patches, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed from the wind, almost in a short period of ten minutes, the Sher Sand Castle, which was made of stone and hard earth, was filled with the smell of scorching heat in an instant.

A series of explosions came from both ends of the city wall, and a stone guard tower with a height of more than ten meters turned into a huge torch that was lit after being hit by several burning huge fireballs.

These cracks expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally made a shocking staggered sound, the huge tower body up to more than ten meters began to tilt inward, and finally broke into four sections, and at the same time smashed down from a high place downward, the soldiers above jumped down in flames, and the soldiers below fled in panic like the end of the world, booming, dusty, and the scorching flames were also rushed to move

Benisaf heard a terrible scream fall from the top of his head, and finally slammed into him less than 3 meters away, blood and flesh splattered, and the flesh wrapped in the armor was like ketchup that had been violently squeezed and exploded.

No one knew that many of them were not buried in the sudden collapse of the watchtower just now, and the soldiers who escaped were not happy, the rubble rained down on their heads, and the terrible flames that could not be extinguished when they were lit, and the broken stones that braved the sparks fell intermittently, and they were also the deadly enemies of the Dunkir soldiers. Many soldiers were caught off guard and were crushed into flesh and blood cakes by huge stones weighing several tons.

"No, the whole fortress is a trap, and I must report it to the Marshal at once!" Benisaf ran in a frustration to the position of the Marquis of Ushuaia, in a state of confusion.

As an old rival of Normandy, he knew the fortress in front of him very well, and in terms of size, it might not be huge. But it is definitely strong, even if a heavy trebuchet is used to throw more than half a ton of rolling stones, it is absolutely impossible to collapse the specially reinforced barrier in such a short time, the only possibility is that the other party has moved on the foot of the fortress,

This terrible speculation made him, a bold guy, also shudder deeply,

The other party relented step by step to lure himself here, and then used the entire castle as a bait to set up an ambush. Is it just to trap yourself in the castle?

The real intention of the other party should be to drive all their army out of the castle, and take advantage of the chaos to open a huge slaughter field in the open space outside the castle, if the army goes out now. It's a dead end,

From the very beginning, his army of 20,000 fell into the trap that the Falcon Army had designed a long time ago, an army of 20,000. Just now, it was still like a rainbow, sweeping the land, but at this moment, they are hugging their heads and running away. The hair curled by the fire made many soldiers look like a rooster with plucked feathers and wings, the armor on the upper body was full of black dust, and they held all kinds of farm tools in their hands that they didn't know where to find them, and they slapped hard at the location where they were ignited.

The whole narrow inner area of the castle is a huge death zone, the corpses lying all over the ground, the flames are burning happily on the corpses, making a crackling sound that makes people feel sick, like a group of jumping red elves, there are soldiers running back and forth everywhere, the huge and strong fortress walls on all sides have collapsed on three sides at this moment, intermittent gaps, like the tooth sockets of an eighty-year-old lady falling off, under the piles of rubble, there are shocking red human blood, the wounded people are rolling in the muddy blood water, and their mouths are screaming for help, and soon they become silent under the burning of the flames"Baron, don't you see the marshal!"

Among the scattered soldiers, Benissaf saw a familiar figure keenly, and hurriedly ran up and grabbed the marshal's guard captain Baron Aven's war horse hood woven with golden silk threads, and pulled the war horse from the front to stop, "Bastards, you damned civilians! Let me pass, I'm a nobleman!"

The marshal of the guard still had a frightened look on his face, and his cloak was covered with dust, and in a group of running soldiers, he, the captain of the guard on horseback, was so conspicuous, he raised his horsewhip angrily, ready to give this uninformed commoner a hard blow, these untouchables, don't they know that respecting the nobility is the first principle of their lives, if there are no nobles, where do they go to find land and seeds, if there are no nobles, where do they go to get grace!"Baron, where is the marshal?" “

Benisaf raised his head, his thick hand tightly pressed the head soup of the war horse, so that the frightened war horse stopped, and asked eagerly again, seeing that it was the legion commander Benisaf who was holding his war horse, Baron Aven's raised horsewhip was slowly lowered, "Although it is unfortunate, but this is the truth" Baron Aven's face was very ugly on the war horse and said, no need to look for it, the marshal has been martyred! Although I am also trying to find the marshal's body, but the current situation is completely impossible! "What! The Marshal has been martyred!" Benisaf's body trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale, as the Archduke's confidant and close minister, the Marquis of Ushuaia has served the Duchy of Dunkir for thirty years, and enjoys a very grand prestige both at home and abroad, no one would have thought that this important minister, who is known as the evergreen tree of the Duchy, would fall in such a small castle "Take me there immediately! No matter what, find the body of the marshal!"

Benissaf shouted hoarsely, with a hint of luck in his eyes, although the current scene is very blue, but since the baron who is responsible for the safety of the marshal can escape, why can't the marshal escape? And the entire military world knows that Baron Aven, the captain of the guard, is completely hereditary by virtue of his identity, so this time Baron Aven is also the first time to go to the battlefield, if he is a rookie on the battlefield, how can he believe it all!

"Well, see for yourself, that's it, the entire section of the city wall has collapsed, and the marshal was on top of it at that time!" Baron Aven turned his horse's head again very unhappily, and pointed to a huge collapse not far away, piles of rubble were even several meters high, and several tons of stones were still with shocking blood stains on them, and most of the head of a soldier exposed outside the rubble pile was missing, leaving only a row of lower molars as terrible as blood slag, and minced flesh with blood plasma, sprayed all the way to the wall a few meters in front," Unless a hundred people can be transferred now, and the largest stone hanging tool is needed, otherwise, no one can do anything!"

Baron Aven shrugged his shoulders on his horse, and said with some rejoicing, "I also escaped this catastrophe because of some stomach discomfort, when I only heard a series of huge explosions, and then countless huge fireballs filled the sky, and the scorching explosion shock wave lifted off the thatched roof above my head on the spot, to be honest, the feeling at that moment, I felt like I saw hell coming,

"Then I saw that the section of the wall where the marshal was standing was like a broken fence that had been pushed to fall into pieces, and it was already like this when I ran over!" Baron Aven's words were half-true, in fact, he went straight to the treasure room of the castle, but unfortunately he was there, and only saw the empty wall, "How did you survive?"

Retracting his gaze from the pile of stones full of scraps of flesh and blood, Benisaf's eyes were full of angry flames, and he looked at Baron Evan, who was talking nonsense on his horse, "As the Grand Duke's guard in charge of the marshal's safety, you did not live and die with the marshal at the most critical moment, you are a dereliction of duty!" "Are you questioning me? To find out, I am a high nobleman of the principality, a hereditary baron, and you are only a second-class general who was only promoted this year" Baron Aven was taken aback by Benisaf's anger, but when he thought of his identity, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said with a hint of disdain on his face, "If I make a mistake, the Senate of the Duchy will naturally judge it, and you, a second-class general who is only from an inferior aristocratic background, are not qualified to question me on behalf of the Senate of Nobles!" As for you, let's think about how to bring the army back intact!Don't say I didn't remind you, the responsibility for losing 20,000 troops is not as simple as cutting off your head!" "Bastard, you coward!" Benisaf let go of his hand angrily,

Baron Aven hurriedly rode his horse and ran over from the chaotic group of soldiers in front of him, and several soldiers near him rolled on the ground, "Get out of the way!, what are you doing in front!" "Bastard, you're squeezing me" "Brothers, pull out the guys and rush out!" A chaotic shout came from the gate of the fortress at the same time, and the fire spread in the fortress, forcing the soldiers to frantically converge to the exit, there were scorching flames everywhere, and there were rubbles rolling down the city walls, whoever continued to stay would wait for death!

The entrance to the narrow fortress was only ten meters wide, and it was crowded by nearly 10,000 people at once, completely impassable, "Don't mess up, everyone, I'm the legion commander Benisaf!" Benisaf jumped on top of a huge stone next to the exit with agility, and shouted at the black pressure below

"If you go out now, the only end is death, please trust me, everyone hold on first!" (To be continued.) )
