Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 91: Moving Like Thunder 3
Viscount de Sade’s idea itself is not wrong. Political matters are never a matter of life and death. Although flipping the table is fun, the consequences are generally very unpredictable, and compromise is the essence of it. Compromise is more effective. Easy to keep things under control.
Saul may not be a qualified politician, but he has been in a high position for decades and exists as a pillar of the country. He is by no means a fool who only knows how to be reckless and will not compromise.
But for things like compromise, both parties must have strength and be qualified to sit at the same chess table before we can talk about compromise.
If the Sade family can really withstand the attack of the garrison and prevent Thor from winning quickly, out of consideration for the overall situation, Thor should make some concessions to the twelve families of Burai City,
If things can develop to this point, Viscount de Sade will have achieved his goal and truly demonstrated the rebellion of the horses and horses. They cannot and do not dare to,
Although the kingdom's national power and local control have begun to decline, the strength of the royal capital is still strong. The dragon knights of the country are still a sword hanging in the sky against the disloyal nobles everywhere.
Seeing that the people in Sadburg had no intention of surrendering, Saul stopped talking.
"Kurz, Dane, each of you will lead an elite team and prepare to attack with me."
"Yes, sir."
If there are enough troops in one capital, there should be five hundred people, and in two capitals there should be a thousand people.
The open space in front of Sadburg is not wide, because it is built in Burleigh City, not far from the street,
The army cannot be deployed in this narrow area, and dispatching a thousand people to attack at the same time is already the limit.
After receiving the order, Kurtz and Dane each took their troops and prepared to attack the city.
Although Dane was demoted to an ordinary soldier by Thor, with his strength as a great knight and his prestige in the garrison for so many years, how could Thor leave him alone?
Leading an entire city as a soldier is something that has never been done before, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Not to mention Dane’s weird identity,
The offensive troops of the garrison were prepared very quickly. There were about ten simple long ladders in the team, which were temporarily built recently. Some people also carried flying hooks.
These equipment may help the attacking troops climb the city wall, but if you want to attack with this simple equipment, you may not be able to break the castle even if you give up thousands of lives.
Preparing to attack the city. Both of these troops were elites in the legion, and they quickly prepared to attack and were waiting for orders.
Thor, wearing golden armor and a golden helmet, stood at the front of the team, holding a broad sword like a door panel in one hand,
At first glance, he is the most handsome guy on the battlefield. He is much more dazzling than a white horse and white armor. He is a real battlefield magnet.
But Thor didn't care, or his purpose was to attract more firepower.
The huge broadsword pointed forward,
"Come with me!"
Don't give any pre-war morale-boosting speeches. If the general takes the lead in the charge, it will definitely be better than any impassioned speech (not counting the down-and-out Austrian painter).
"Kill!"
As coach Sol took the lead and rushed to the front of the team, Kuz and Dane also led two men to launch an attack.
The originally quiet street suddenly became filled with shouts of murder.
At this moment, no one is thinking about whether the crude siege equipment they have can attack Sadburg. This is no longer the coach's lead. If they run slower, they will not be able to keep up with Thor. footsteps.
"Archer!"
Although the attack was launched suddenly, the defenders who were already on high alert responded very quickly.
With the order from Viscount Sade, the first wave of arrows on the city came towards the garrison!
Taking advantage of the height of the city, the range of arrows fired from the top of the city was longer. Hundreds of arrows fell from the top of the city into the formation of the siege troops. Most of them deliberately took care of the arrows rushing at the front. Er,
Looking from a distance, Thor, who is dressed in golden armor, is like a magnet attracting arrows towards himself, and it seems that the next second will end with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
However, after a shower of arrows, Thor was pierced by thousands of arrows. After he ignited the fierce golden fighting spirit of the earth knight, these arrows could not even come close to the two meters around him.
The fighting spirit became a tangible obstacle, blocking all the arrows, and even the pace of the charge did not lag at all.
The soldiers behind Thor did not have such strong protective capabilities. The archers on the city were originally using strong hard bows with falling power.
Even though the soldiers of the garrison are fairly well-equipped, their armor cannot withstand these sharp arrows falling from a height of more than ten meters.
"Puff, puff..."
With the sound of arrows piercing flesh, a dozen soldiers fell from the attacking team,
However, the rhythm of the attack did not seem to be interrupted at all. After the soldiers carrying the siege ladder fell, the people around them quickly took up their positions.
"Fire the arrow, quickly!"
Counting from the beginning of the attack, the attacking army rushed to the city wall a distance of more than 100 meters,
Being struck by the rain of arrows from archers for three rounds, with Thor attracting and blocking many arrows in front, nearly a hundred people were lost, and the casualties were close to 10%. These soldiers on Sadburg, Even more elite than first imagined.
"Ladder! Up!"
Seeing that he was almost under the wall, Kurtz shouted loudly for the ladder. Regardless of whether it was crude or not, without the ladder, there would be no way to attack the city.
At this time, Thor had already reached the wall first. The towering city wall did not hinder Thor's attack at all.
When Thor came under the wall, he jumped up and jumped more than ten meters high. If the Sadburg was a little shorter, Thor might have stood directly on the top of the city with this leap.
And Thor's jump also attracted the attention of everyone. There was no way, he was already dressed in golden armor, and jumping so high, it was difficult not to attract attention,
Viscount Sade’s eyes were fixed on Sol. When Sol jumped more than ten meters, Viscount Sade’s heart almost rose to his throat.
He knew that if a strong man like Thor jumped directly onto the wall and could directly clear a section of the city wall, the subsequent garrison soldiers would be able to continuously pour into the castle along this cleared section of the wall. I am afraid that the castle would be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Just throw it away.
Fortunately, Sol's leap was still a little short of the highest point of the city wall, and he had already begun to fall.
"Bang!"
Before Viscount Sade could completely relax, Thor threw the broadsword in his hand towards the city wall in mid-air.
This broad sword made of an unknown material sank halfway into the city wall without any hindrance, and Thor happened to be standing steadily on top of this half of the broad sword. The whole process was completed smoothly, and it was obvious that he had planned it in advance. .
"Roll the oil!"
Just when everyone in the audience was shocked, Viscount Sade seemed to understand something. When he reacted, he loudly ordered the soldiers to bring boiling oil.
But Thor was not idle either. Just when several soldiers from the Sadr family were about to pour boiling oil down on Thor, Thor had already jumped up from half of the broad sword,
"Cang!"
"Ah!"
Thor, who jumped onto the city wall, kicked the boiling oil that was about to be poured. The iron pot tipped over, and the boiling oil poured on the bodies of several unlucky Sade soldiers, making a burst of noise. A shrill scream.
But Saul has already stood firmly at the head of Sadburg...
