Power and Empire Chapter 109: Dato’s counterattack (3)

Seeing the fire ignited on the fortress wall, the fat man felt a twitch of his eyes. The fortress commander's hand "please enter the urn" is beautiful. If you are a fortress commander, you will also take this trick first when you are insufficient in military power. It frustrated the aristocratic army's spirit, but this trick made the fat man feel familiar, as if he had seen it there.

　　 "No! This trick seems to be the trick he played in Vizan to burn the left-back cavalry at night." The fat man suddenly woke up. At that time, only the captain of the guard, Salon, and a few guards were sent to perform this thing. A fortress commander should be one of them.

　　The fire on the city wall has been burning for nearly an hour before it gradually weakened. The thick black smoke covered the sky, and the air was filled with a disgusting scorching smell. The low fortress wall had been broken into more than a dozen sections due to the high temperature. , Like a row of skewed teeth, Fort Toda used its outer defense line in exchange for precious time, and it also frustrated the morale of the noble soldiers in the raid

　　 "How many people do we have!" The fortress commander Zidani watched the enemies gathering under the mountain,

　　 In the afternoon, two more noble armies appeared in the woods outside Toda Fortress. Now the entire fortress is surrounded by nearly 20,000 enemies outside, and the drums gathered under the city are ringing like never stopping.

　　 A line of heavily armed infantry lined up in a neat square array outside the city wall, the spear formation even covered the woods outside the fortress,

　　 If it weren't for the raging fire of the city wall, the 3,000 people defending the fortress would have been torn to pieces by the tens of thousands of nobles who were full of red eyes outside.

　　 "Three hundred and eighty-six people died in the battle and 831 people were injured. Now we only have one brigade!" Adjutant Guto replied with a pale face,

　　 was wrapped in a white cloth on his left ear, and he grinned slightly because of the tear on his ear when he spoke,

　　While defending the city wall, a stray arrow shot into his left ear. The white cloth covering the wound was soaked with blood. It was shocking to see, but Guto didn’t care about it.

　　 For him, the sword on his waist representing the identity of the Samor guard is much more important than his ears.

　　The method of burning the city wall this time was proposed by the adjutant Guto. As a former guard squad leader, Guto was one of the executors of the fat man who arranged the night-burning of the left guards.

　　 At that night, the flames on the Vizan city wall were blazing, and the tragic sight of thousands of left guard cavalry being burnt to coke impressed him deeply, and kept it in his mind all the time,

　　 This time, a batch of crude oil was transported from the headquarters of the regiment. It was originally transported as an important military material. However, because the noble army raided the Taku Pass, this batch of materials was delayed. Use the fat man’s trick to learn and use,

　　 The Tigers of Helisatus deserved to be unlucky. They didn't come early and couldn't play, so they came at this time.

　　 "A big team!"

　　 Zidani's face is a bit ugly. The outer walls of the fortress have become waste. Only this thousand-meter winding road is the last support of the fortress. The tens of thousands of enemies gathered outside the fortress have begun to move slowly. Strength, it is almost impossible to hold the Panshan Road firmly.

　　"Has the signal for the enemy attack been sent?" Zidani asked in a low voice. Adjutant Guto nodded slightly because of an ear injury. "Yes, Commander, I received the thorn Vazul this morning. We immediately lit the wolf smoke of communication. I believe that by this time, the legion headquarters should have received the news!"

　　 "That's fine!" Zidani nodded, with a generous smile on his face,

　　"In this case, our mission is considered complete. Now we drag the enemy one more minute to gain an extra weight for the assembly of the legion. The enemy’s most important time for this raid, and the assembly of the legion’s reinforcements. It takes the most time, and this most important weight is in our hands! We are the last line of defense in the northern part of Flundi. If we withdraw, the entire Flundi region will fall into the hands of the nobles, and the whole of Samor’s The northern gate will be opened. Our relatives, brothers, sisters, and lovers may face the enemy's butcher's knife at any time. We have no choice but to stay here and crucify the enemy here. Brother, what you said, do you understand? !"

　　 "Yes, my subordinates understand." Adjutant Guto nodded slightly unexpectedly. Zidani had given the order to die, and the commander, who was born as a Jivadin businessman, also blocked Samor. Everything.

　　 Soon, three black wolves ignited on the top of the mountain, and all the Samor crossbowmen stationed in the mountain pass tower looked at the three black smoke straight up into the sky with complex faces. That was the final order issued by the fortress commander, three legs. The billowing smoke under the banner of the Falcon War represents the meaning in the Samor army.

　　"Deadly fight! Long live Samor!"

　　The crossbowmen once again checked the number of crossbow arrows in their quiver, wiped the bright arrows with a cloth, fastened the strings of the crossbow, and ensured that it could shoot all the arrows, and finally set the crossbowman's dagger. On the waist, no matter who wants to pass the mountain road in front of the guard tower, he must step on his corpse.

　　 At the same time, before the extinguishing fortress fire, Helisatus also saw three black smoke rising up into the sky. As a veteran who had served as a mercenary on the battlefield, he was a sign of the will to die. No stranger,

　　 "The Samorians are going to die!"

　　Helisatus sighed, from Kyoto Kristol to Fortress, this distance of only half a day caused heavy casualties for his proud Tiger Legion,

　　 At least nearly 3,000 people died in battle,

　　 More than 2,000 people were injured. The three infantry flag regiments and the archer battalion under his command were all injured and their combat power was greatly reduced. The soldiers were even more panicked by the fire. Don’t say it at this time. Organizing the army to siege the city again is to drive away more eagerly, it may cause the soldiers to mutiny

　　 Therefore, the Tigers temporarily moved away from the attack sequence. This time the first wave of attacks was responsible for another second-rate unit in the noble private army, the Lingda July Mercenary Group, which was mainly composed of mercenaries. The legion, with a number of 8,000 people, has four banner regiments under its jurisdiction. Because of poor military discipline and weak combat capabilities, most of the time they only serve as garrison tasks. This time the noble private army is desperate, and even this non-main battle legion is also sent. ~IndoMTL.com~ Behind the Lingda July Mercenary Corps, it is one of the real main forces of the private army. The famous Goose Gangfen Heavy Infantry Regiment, with a number of 10,000, is all well-armed, heavily armored, shielded, and speared infantry. Most of them come from the Egangfen area near Kyoto, which is the domain of the Marquis Duaikeri family.

　　 As the fire became smaller and smaller, the dense drums sounded like a torrential rain, and the long-awaited mercenaries flocked to Panshan Road. This time the nobles got a big bounty. Who is the first to rush to the top of the mountain and give With the reward of 100 gold coins, whoever cuts off the head of Commander Samor will be directly named the Knight of Glory.

　　"swish, swish" the mercenaries just approached the entrance of the mountain road. Arrows rained down on the guard towers on both sides. A dozen mercenaries rushed in the front fell, but this did not affect the people behind to continue rushing up. In order to get the first bounty, many people even rushed to the top of the mountain with the arrowheads above their heads. But waiting for them there were the rigorous Samor army, the dense Samor spears and the constant shooting of crossbow arrows. The soldiers fell one by one,

　　 Each sentry tower is equipped with 20 crossbowmen and 10 shield soldiers. The gates of the sentry tower are made of two-layer iron window doors. The crossbowmen even squatted directly on the iron window doors to attack. Many attempted to smash them. The mercenary of the door was shot to death by the crossbowmen with their heads on their heads. The body rolled down the mountain road. Although the more than ten guard towers on the mountain road were like small boats swaying in a storm, they were gradually flooded by the tide. .

　　 "Shoot you!" Crossbowman Dalixi howled bloody, and shot the last crossbow arrow in his quiver into the enemy's chest. The mercenaries swarming outside had already smashed the gate of the guard tower. , Ten shield soldiers blocked the enemies in the corridor like a wall, the crossbowmen behind kept shooting the enemies crowded in the corridor, and the bodies piled up on the corridor steps of the guard tower

　　 ask for recommendation, ask for collection, please give the bun a lot of motivation.
