Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 392: Mountain Barbarian is coming
Chapter 392 Mountain Barbarian strikes
The rainy season is over. In April, we are busy harvesting winter wheat, and the whole Northern Land is busy.
Just when Lorist departed from Boulder Castle to tour around the family Territory, Princess Sylvia and his party also set off from Tiger Castle in Eastwild to Northern Land. She was given a heavy duty by Grand Duke Fisablen to serve as Norton Family.
Because the Mountain Barbarian army was about to invade, Lorist made a special order for this, demanding that while harvesting the winter wheat, not forgetting the combat readiness, holding a sword and a sickle in one hand, always ready to counter the invasion of the Mountain Barbarian tribe to the family Territory.
But it wasn't until the harvest of winter wheat was halfway through the spring plowing that Twinhill Small Town did not hear the news that the Mountain Barbarian army was going to go downhill immediately after the assembly. According to the pre-planned arrangements, the residents of Twinhill Small Town began to evacuate backwards, and deliberately left a phenomenon of rushing away before they could tidy up, confusing the Mountain Barbarian army down the mountain.
On April 21, the forwards of the Mountain Barbarian army occupied Twinhill Small Town, and the large number of fine wines and various daily necessities left behind by Twinhill Small Town made the forwards of the Mountain Barbarian army overjoyed. All Mountain Barbarian believe that their army It is bound to sweep the entire Northern Land, and each one scrambles to act as a pioneer, for fear of falling behind and losing the chance of plunder.
Lorist arrived on Crouching Bull Mound Fort on April 23. The direct defense wall of Turtle Mountain Fort is about to usher in the attack of Mountain Barbarian army. Lorist must come to sit in town. However, in the afternoon, he received the news that the Hunting Cavalry Legion agent Captain Waxima Knight(s) in the Northern Land eastern region sent an urgent messenger. Fisablen Family sent Princess Sylvia to ambassador Northern Land, and was ready to discuss with the Northern Land four alliances about the redemption of prisoners of war and material trade.
Lorist Receiving the news from the messenger was very happy and at the same time very difficult. Pleased Grand Duke Fisablen The old fox finally admitted that the situation was over, and failure was inevitable, and he sent an ambassador on his own initiative. Northern Land It means to bow your head. The embarrassment is that the messenger came Princess Sylvia , Lorist There is no skill for avatars now, and he cannot go forward to meet them. After thinking about it for a long time, he can only send Imperial Guard Go notice Boulder Castle of Charade To Northern Land Eastern region welcomes itself Princess Sylvia Go to Boulder Castle I'll wait to beat myself Mountain Barbarian The army went back.
To be honest, Lorist feels most guilty about not knowing how to face Princess Sylvia. He knows that he and Grand Duke Fisablen turned his face, led the family armed forces to perish Yi Billy and Dukedom, and destroyed several Legions of Fisablen Family, and Fisablen Family suffered The huge loss has suppressed the prosperity and rise of Fisablen Family. It can be said that he has already become a life-and-death enemy and a nail in the eyes of Fisablen Family.
Because of this, the Princess Sylvia who has a deep affection for herself and does not marry herself must have suffered and aggrieved in her family. Just like the Duke Kenmays guy who is not at ease, this Iberia Kingdom strategy is actually the Northern Land four alliances exporting gas for Lorist. The old man who called Grand Duke Fisablen rejected Lorist's proposal to Princess Sylvia. Now the rumor is that Norton Family killed Iberia Kingdom in anger in order to be rejected by the heads of households Norton Grand Duke(s) and Princess Sylvia, staring at Fisablen Family armed forces. Princess Sylvia has almost become synonymous with beauty.
Well, Lorist sighed softly. I can only wait for the end of the war with the Mountain Barbarian tribe, and then make good compensation for Sylvia, a simple girl who made her suffer for herself, and took on a free The infamy of Hongyan. In fact, Grand Duke Fisablen and himself knew that even if they agreed to Princess Sylvia and their personal affairs at that time, this war could not be avoided. Because this is Fisablen Family and Norton Family, in order to compete for the dominance and **** of the entire east Northern Land district of the former Empire, one family always has to fall.
"His Royal Highness, Mountain Barbarian is here."
Lorist looked up and saw black dots appearing in the lush mountain forest in the distance. These dots quickly gathered into a large area, and the black ravens rushed towards the defensive wall like a tide. Picking up the binoculars, you can see that the Mountain Barbarian soldiers appearing in the round frame are wearing various beasts leather armor, and even have a bare chest and abdomen. The body and face are painted with weird patterns of blue and black. Holding a Bronze axe and other chic and rough weapons in it, he rushed towards this side with loose hair.
At about 4 pm on April 23, the leading troops of the Mountain Barbarian army launched their first attack on the defensive city walls between Crouching Bull Mound Fort and Turtle Mountain Fort for 60 to 70 miles. It's just that these Mountain Barbarian soldiers have never seen such a long and long defensive city wall, they often charge before the trench in front of the defensive city wall and have to stop, watching the depth of three or four meters under the sharp wooden thorn wolf teeth The ditch of the ditch straightened, and then was easily taken away by Chariot Ballista on the defensive wall.
In the first attack, the Mountain Barbarian's vanguard lost four or five hundred corpses and fled. Until it was dusk, around 5 or 6 o’clock, these Mountain Barbarian pioneers launched a tentative attack again. This time, the Mountain Barbarian soldiers carried a rough wooden shield tied with vines and moved to the front of the trench. There was a road leading to the defensive city wall, but it quickly disappeared under the fire of Chariot Ballista above the city wall. Nearly a thousand brave and not afraid of death Mountain Barbarian. Those crude shields were also shot by Gangu. Lost cover Mountain Barbarian fighters had to retreat again.
"Haha, it's too simple. We are as easy as shooting a turkey on the city wall." The shooters who drive Chariot Ballista back and forth on the spacious city road are all excited, standing under the wall The Mountain Barbarian soldiers in front of the trench were like target targets, and they refused to retreat. They were bravely strung by bolt into gourd strings ...
The defensive city walls between Crouching Bull Mound Fort and Turtle Mountain Fort are seventy-two miles long, eight meters high, but five or six meters wide. And it is not a long straight wall, but there is a tower and a tower protruding from the wall every five or six miles, as a place for the patrol guard soldier(s) to rest and duty. Together, these towers and towers can be divided into defensive guard soldier(s) squadrons. A trench, five meters wide and three or four meters deep, was dug ten meters in front of the city wall, turning the flat land into a natural ridge.
"Some boring ..." Lorist yawned. These Mountain Barbarians have not brought a little pressure to Norton Family armed forces. Compared to the threats posed by the Dukedom coalition and Fisablen Family armed forces in the second half of last year and the central four, they are simply different. That is, these guard camps soldier(s) who have not been on the battlefield are so excited.
However, it ’s rare to see the blood of the soldier(s), which is always training all year round. Lorist decided not to provide any guidance for this defensive battle, and see if the command of the two guard camps can pass. Conduct command operations. He is sitting in Crouching Bull Mound Fort this time for the purpose of reassuring the guard soldier(s) in defensive operations, and the second is to prevent the Expert(s) raid equivalent to Great Sword Master in the Mountain Barbarian tribe. The army of 100,000 Mountain Barbarian should also have several ceremonies equivalent to Great Sword Master. The main purpose of Lorist is to deal with them.
The Mountain Barbarian leader who only touched the nails twice remembered the lessons of failure, knowing that they could not break through this defensive wall. The next two days, the camp of self-knowledge was in the mountains in the distance, Waiting for the arrival of subsequent troops.
Two days later, the Mountain Barbarian army arrived. Lorist found that the news was correct. The Mountain Barbarian army that arrived was more than 100,000, but there were more and more. Although the Mountain Barbarian army lacked materials and did not build a tent army camp, the bonfires that covered the ground at night at night covered the sky and looked like a sky full The stars, the entire mountain forest to the sky, are piles of burning red bonfires, boundless ...
Many guards soldier(s) have never seen such a shocking scene, and the joy of victory in the first two days ago has been lost. They unconsciously lowered their voices and talked, and the questions about whether we could hold them were revealed in their words. How can so many Mountain Barbarians be killed, we cannot win ...
The tension and unconfidence before the war. After the large-scale Mountain Barbarian army opened the attack on the defensive walls on the second day, it was thrown behind by all the guard camps soldier(s), facing an endless crowd of attackers. The defender just mechanically winds, fires, continues to wind, fires. They already forgot everything, only knowing that with a long training instinct, under the commander's password, they numbly launched a counterattack.
"Release!" At the order, the Longbow Brigade once again shot the feather arrow in the dense Mountain Barbarian tide under the city. The feather arrow fell like a rainstorm, clearing a small area, and numerous Mountain Barbarian fighters with arrows. The part holding the middle arrow began to scream, but soon a group of Mountain Barbarian fighters came over to fill this gap. The lightly wounded were carried quickly, while the severely wounded were sent to the mountain **** ’s soul and **** kingdom in a song of praise to the mountain **** ...
The ditch already was filled up by Mountain Barbarian soldiers' bodies, branches, soil, stones and other messy things. Numerous Mountain Barbarian soldiers passed through these filled areas and forced them under the city walls, but They soon encountered a very difficult and embarrassing situation. The long ladder they carried could not reach the eight-meter-high city head, and some impatient Mountain Barbarian soldiers threw their weapons into the city angrily. In the head, it caused a slight casualty to the defending guard soldier(s).
Some Mountain Barbarian fighters already who were thinking about their brains were drinking and preparing to connect the two long ladders. However, the working site of the long ladder being connected was quickly pointed at by the Ballista shooter on the wall. They were connecting the two long ladders. The Mountain Barbarian soldier on the ladder was immediately taken away by the bolt shot from the wall. Even if the Mountain Barbarian soldiers go forward and succeed, as long as the long ladder pointed at by the Ballista shooter, no one can be connected.
On the contrary, several long ladders farther away were connected to the city because Ballista couldn't take care of them. It was just that the Mountain Barbarian soldiers waving their weapons were thrown by the city walls before they reached halfway. The stone fell. The guards soldier(s) of the Sword and Shield Brigade who had been panicking finally had a place to use. While throwing rocks down from the city, they were throwing fire oil tanks and torches. Not only did the several long ladders burn up, even under the city walls. It also burned into a piece, and soon the wind was full of the smell of burnt human flesh, and many of the guards soldier(s) vomited sickly.
The Mountain Barbarian army ’s massive offensive lasted from morning to afternoon. The only danger that appeared was before the retreat in the afternoon. The Mountain Barbarian army concentrated a group of warriors to attack the defensive walls. Lorist did not come and shot. Dozens of Mountain Barbarian warriors were given a round by Knight(s) of Angry Bear Knight Regiment who watched the battle on the city wall. When these Mountain Barbarian warriors who were on the wall were chopped over the city by the angry bear Knight(s), all the Mountain Barbarian soldiers who were still on the offensive were punched hard in the face, and they sent out a burst The sadness of his actions seemed hesitant.
The horn of the retreat finally sounded, and the sound of the whining horn echoed between the heavens and the earth, watching the disappointed Mountain Barbarian soldiers retreat backward, leaving corpses all over the ground, covering the entire battlefield, and even in some places, the corpses were stacked Layer, few steps. Lorist sent compassion, order no longer need to continue shooting, let those Mountain Barbarian soldiers who have lost their souls retreat. It is estimated that the corpses under the city wall are more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000. Today, already was given to the Mountain Barbarian army. A profound lesson, the attack of more than 50,000 people, almost half of the casualties, I believe that Mountain Barbarian will never want to attack this long defensive wall.
Receiving the order from Lorist, the long wall was silent and quiet soon, but then burst into cheers: "We have won! We have won! We have held the wall!"
Many exhausted Ballista shooters are paralyzed directly on the ground. When they fight, they only know the mechanical launch of bolt. When they receive a command, they find that they are tired and want to die. They do n’t want to move, and their voices are dumb. Now, I only know the tears of joy, watching my friends cheer and celebrate there ...
Compared with the euphoria here, there is a cry of sorrow in the distant mountains and forests. The cry is getting louder and louder, and it becomes a whole, and it seems more sad and sorrow in the dark night ...
Lorist watched the mountains in the distance, looked at the corpses on the battlefield, shook his head and said to Captain Terman of Angry Bear Knight Regiment around him, "Maybe this defensive city wall of our family will be called a wailing wall by these Mountain Barbarian, They will remember how many mountain Barbarians Clan warriors were killed under this long wall. But I do n’t sympathize with them. If this long wall is broken by the Mountain Barbarian army, then we will be the hardworking and kind leaders in our Territory People. "
After this offensive failed, the Mountain Barbarian army never attempted to attempt to break through this defensive wall. In the next three or four days, the Mountain Barbarian army just sent people to converge the dead soldiers on the battlefield. And collected those bolt transmitted by Ballista. Only Mountain Barbarian who came to converge the body did not dare to approach the trench and the long wall. Finally, Lorist ordered the two soldier(s)s of the spear and brigade of the two guard camps under the cover of the wall Chariot Ballista and the longbowman. The corpses of the Mountain Barbarian fighters in the trenches were moved to the center line of the battlefield and handed over to the Mountain Barbarian that converged the corpses.
For another six days, Lorist was awakened by the loud voice of Terman who was rushed out of the bedroom early in the morning to wake up: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, the Mountain Barbarian army has moved, and they are divided!"
