Lord of the Oasis Chapter 150: .Fortress that has been prepared for a long time

The Sentinel Oasis is ready when Gnoll troops are within sight of the Arrow Tower.

"Drehem" has been waiting for a long time.

The troops were quickly mobilizing, and the bowmen all entered the preset positions, holding their longbows and crossbows, and looked coldly at the expeditionary force of the Graymane Kingdom that appeared at the top of the dunes.

100 Vaegir archers are responsible for the towers and gates.

50 Swadian crossbowmen are responsible for the attic firing windows.

500 Swadian militiamen, also armed with hunting crossbows, all climbed to the top of the attic.

Although the hunting crossbows generally equipped in the hands of the militia are less powerful, there are stones prepared in advance on the top of the attic, which are close to half the size of a human head. If you can't stop, it is estimated that the skull will burst in an instant. If you are lucky, your face is full of blood. If you are not lucky, you will directly become a corpse with a smashed head.

"Get ready for battle, get ready for battle."

The figure of Fatis walked quickly in the attic with a solemn expression on his face.

Sweeping outside the attic, the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force on the sand dunes in the distance subconsciously tightened their grip on the hilt of the sword. Shen Sheng told the passing bowmen, "Aim for it. Shoot again later to do the most damage!"

These words are actually well known.

Kophatis is still repeating before the battle.

As long as he can win this battle and win this crucial defense of the city, not to mention telling him hundreds of times, Fatis is willing.

He is a nobleman of Swadia, and this is the toughest battle after following Lord Kant.

Win.

Fatis and his family will be honored with accompanying life.

Defeat.

Even Lord Kant's life will be threatened. He has no choice but to die in battle to prove his family's honor. This is also the best way for nobles to preserve their honor.

Fatis is still arranging battle plans for the bowmen.

There is a little noise from the city wall behind.

"Keep quiet!"

Fatis reprimanded, but found Kant's figure appearing on the city wall.

Arriving at the same time were the 20 Reston Rangers originally stationed at the top of the Consulate.

"Lord Kant, it's dangerous here."

Fatis walked over and bowed to salute, but with a worried tone, he discouraged: "The city wall is the line of defense for the soldiers, not the place where the noble should appear."

Kant smiled indifferently: "Noble people?"

"Adult."

Fatis still dissuades: "Please go back to the Consulate."

The surrounding bowmen are also worried. After all, this is an extremely dangerous front-line city wall. If an enemy rushes up, the attic is only 3 meters wide, and it will definitely block the way to leave.

As a lord, you must never take risks.

"It's okay."

Kant looked out through the attic window: "These gnolls can't rush to the city wall in a short time."

He didn't notice that the enemy was carrying siege weapons.

Frowning slightly, Kant turned his head to the 20 Reston Rangers and instructed: "You go to the eastern city gate, where you will be stationed, compiled into the sequence of crossbowmen, and obey the orders of Fatis."

"Understood."

The 20 Reston Rangers responded in unison, turned around and walked quickly towards the city gate.

"The support of these bow masters was timely."

Fatis nodded his thanks and analyzed: "Those gnoll expeditions did not carry ready-made siege weapons. According to my inference, their main attack direction is our city gate."

"That's right." Kant nodded, as he thought.

Crossing the Naron Desert, these expeditions carried very little material, not to mention heavy and complicated siege equipment.

There are only two ways to siege a city.

Chop down trees with a two-handed battle axe, build simple siege equipment such as wooden ladders and siege cones, or just ram the city gate directly. With the strong body of these gnolls and the heavy two-handed battle axe, life will be The city gate smashed into pieces.

Of course, it's not impossible to stack corpses as high as the city wall.

Just looking at the thoughts of these high-level gnolls at present, the idea is to smash the city gate with a battle axe!

"Ow--"

Wolf howls came from outside, fast and decisive.

Kant and Fatis looked towards the dunes. Those gnolls had already formed a 5 square formation and started to move towards the east. Obviously, as they had guessed, the target of the attack was the city gate on the east.

At the same time, there was a centurion of gnolls, which rushed out directly from most of them, carrying tomahawks to attack.

"Not even diplomacy?"

Kant's tone is slightly mocking, but his eyes are full of sternness: "I still want to persuade them to surrender."

Fatis chuckled lightly and did not take up the subject.

Drawing out the knight's sword in his hand, Fatis turned his head and commanded in a deep voice: "All archers and crossbowmen pay attention, free shooting is prohibited, stay on the spot, and wait for the shooting order!"

Shen Sheng's response was condensed into a sentence: "Understood!"

"My idea is to wait until the enemy gets close before shooting."

Fatis reported to Kanthui in a low voice: "The sudden burst of arrow rain killed and wounded all the enemy's centenarians~IndoMTL.com~ This will destroy the enemy's morale."

"You're the commander, you make arrangements."

Kant nodded.

All the bowmen have gathered on the east wall.

Other walls are guarded by a small number of militias.

There are not many enemies, and the "Drehem" fortress is not very strong, so in siege warfare, troops are often gathered to attack the city gate, not to mention these gnolls who are lacking in materials can't maintain much. long attack.

According to Kant's conjecture, three days at most!

"Shoot!"

Fatis' orders appear on this wall.

The resounding sound made all the bowmen react instantly, let go of the bowstrings in their hands, pulled the trigger of their hands, and shot the feather arrows and crossbow arrows that were already ready!

"Buzz--"

The vibrating sound of the bowstring instantly appeared inside the attic.

But the screeching "whoosh" outside was the shrill hissing of arrows tearing through the air.

A dark shadow whizzes past.

Top down.

Then smashed the Gnoll Centurion within 50 meters of the city wall.

The arrow easily penetrated the chainmail and pierced deeply into the muscles. On the sand in the entire range, clusters of flowers on the tail feathers of the arrows instantly bloomed, connecting the three lines that were originally lined up, carrying both hands to fight. The gnoll who ran with the axe also had more than ten feather arrows or crossbow arrows on his body.

With a shooting distance of 50 meters, even the militiamen armed with hunting crossbows are very unlikely to miss!

Not to mention those level 4 ranged units with more sophisticated archery skills.

And the strongest are still the 20 Reston Rangers. As level 5 troops, they indifferently draw bows and shoot arrows. The eyebrows, eye sockets, and chest positions, pierce the sharp arrows that belong to them!
