Power and Empire Chapter 108: Dato’s counterattack (2)
Just when the fat man was stunned, the light infantry of the Tigers had begun to climb towards the city wall. Although the defenders of the fortress were shooting desperately on it, the more than one thousand meters long wall made the defenders of only a few hundred people stretched. ,
The Samoran crossbowmen on the city wall kept shooting at the light infantry who climbed the siege ladder. The corpse fell off the siege ladder, and a new buckler would immediately fill it up. The light infantry who climbed to the top of the city drove down the city wall, and another group continued to rush up. The two sides strangled together, shouting through the city wall, blood splashed from the ladder, and stained the faces of the waiting soldiers below, and the fallen corpses. Often trampled underfoot
The densely packed human heads under the city are like high tide sea water, surging towards the outer wall of Toda Fortress, which was originally not high. One wave hits and dissipates into fragments, and another larger wave arrives. Part of the city wall is about to fall. Although the Samorians’ resistance was very heroic, there were too many enemies. In order to achieve the sudden and overwhelming attack, Helisatus threw all the two light infantry regiments and archer brigade of the legion into the Fortress of Toda. There were more than 6,000 people gathered under the city,
6,000 people vs. hundreds of people. This gap cannot be made up by the city wall. In the woods in front of the Toda Fortress, a black line slowly appeared. A group of 8,000 light cavalry troops appeared in the woods. Continue to move, just watching the two parties who are fighting fiercely on the head of the city with cold eyes,
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The bow and arrow brigade entering the attack range began to cover the Satsuma crossbowmen on the city wall with a rain of arrows, and the Satsuma crossbowmen on the top of the city fell down a piece of "Woooo!" At last, the Samorians on the wall couldn't stand it anymore, and blew the trombone to give up the wall.
"Hehe! The same is true for the Samorian army!" Helisatus, the commander of the Tiger Legion who served as the forward, smiled contemptuously. He looked back at the light infantry regiment that was about to rush to the outer wall of the fortress and turned his head disapprovingly. Beside him stood a deep-faced middle-aged knight, several light cavalry in chain armor behind him, and a long scarlet cloak made people look at him.
This is the symbol of the commander of the Kingdom’s Guards. To this middle-aged knight, Helisatus showed a rare reverence. Although he was arrogant in his heart, he did not dare to show too much, the kingdom The Guards are not only a sign of strength, but also a sign of identity, but it is not something that a second-rate army like yourself can offend.
"Tattisso Banner Commander, I’m right. With the strength of our Tigers, it only takes an hour at most to win such a loosely defensive fortress. Master Du Aikri actually dispatched you. The Eighth Banner Regiment came to assist in the attack. I really value the silly peasants of Satsuma!"
"Helissatus Legion Commander, you are too polite!" The middle-aged knight didn't care about Helithatus' arrogance. Among the private generals of seniority, Helithatus was also an alternative. Because of the family’s downfall in the early years, he has been a mercenary on the battlefield for a few years. He has always been known for his open-minded character and tenacious style. Most of his troops also uphold this habit. The troops are more than powerful in attack, insufficient in defense, and good at fighting tough battles. The battle is the guard cavalry group of the Kujites, and this two stunner dared to touch it, so this time the Marquis Duaikeli specially sent himself, just for fear that the two stunner would go crazy again and delay major events.
" The Marquis of Duecky repeatedly urged that this fortress is related to the overall situation of the battle. If the legion commander needs any help, please speak up! Our Eighth Banner is a light cavalry regiment, but please believe it, as long as you If we can take down the outer wall, our light cavalry can rush in and kill the Samorians like weeds!"
"Hehe! That's natural!" Helizatus curled his lips in dissatisfaction with Tatisso's words, and said inwardly. "The walls were all taken down by Lao Tzu, and you only attacked, even though Lao Tzu's Tiger Legion is only a second line." The Infantry Corps has not come to beg you to take credit!"
"No, but I can't let him see the intentions of Master Du Aikri! I have to rely on this idiot to play the forward." Seeing the slightly dissatisfied look of Helisatus, how not the old and slippery Tattisso? Knowing what Helisatus was thinking, he smiled and patted Helisatus on the shoulder, and said with relief, "If this raid is successful, the commander of Helisatus will be the first contributor. Master Du Aikri will not I will treat the commander of the army badly!"
"Order the little bunnies in front not to play, and quickly clean up the fortress!" Hearing Tatisso's words, Helisatus smiled, "Remember, don't take prisoners, kill them all!"
Just when Helisatus gave the order excitedly, the abnormality arose
"Boom!" More than a dozen violent explosions came from the front of the fortress. Like thunderstorms, everyone was shocked. A tiger soldier who cleaned the city wall touched the organs placed on the city road by the defending army. , More than ten round wooden barrels rolled out of three city crossings,
The aristocratic private army who had never seen crude oil barrels used these liquid barrels as wine barrels and surrounded them happily, but soon they felt wrong, and an unpleasant smell spread under their feet. The black liquid flows out of some wooden barrels, and there is a slight rustling noise.
"Use a spear! Look at what's inside!" a private army captain said sharply. The nearby soldiers immediately plunged their spears into the barrel, and the black liquid poured out,
"What is it?" The team leader squatted curiously, his fingers were stained with crude oil and put in his mouth. The smell of the nose made him uncomfortable. "Bah! Bah! What the hell!", annoyed by kicking the barrel. Kick down, the black liquid flows faster
At this time, I suddenly heard a dense drum beat from the fortress, and then countless rockets fell from the sky, the crude oil on the ground was caught on fire, and the flames suddenly rose several meters high, swept by the wind. A dozen people nearby, seeing such a tragic situation, scared others to flee, but this is not the most terrifying.
The other dozen or so intact sealed crude oil barrels are like violent flame bombs, exploding in the raging fire, and the splashing crude oil sparks quickly spread across the city wall, and wooden barrels are constantly rolling down from the city road and crowded in Tiger soldiers on the city wall were wailing in the fire. More than 3,000 private soldiers rushing up the city wall were surrounded by the fire. When they found that the flames could not be extinguished, the worst situation appeared. Countless figures were on fire, from a height of more than ten meters. Thousands of people were driven by the fire wall to jump down. Some people ran on the siege truck connected to the city wall, but the fire spread quickly and the wooden locomotive collapsed in the fire~IndoMTL.com~ crowded on top The people fell like raindrops, the scorched corpses all covered the city's head, and a helpless look appeared on every soldier's face. The situation on the city wall was like hell, and the motivated Tiger Legion was completely mutilated.
"Damn it! Despicable Samos!" Helizatus, who was still energetic just now, had blood red eyes at this moment, and even if he was upright, he knew it was a trap! The commander of Toda Fortress obviously laid a trap, attracting his own brigade with a few defenders to attack, and then burned himself to the ground
"No, I can't pay all my laurels here! "The grieving Helisatus is not stupid,
"You have seen the leader of the Tattisso Banner, my legion has lost more than half of it, and it can no longer continue to attack!" Helisatus began to retreat. From the beginning, Helisatus felt this The old and cunning Tatisso is more involved in monitoring himself next to him,
"Commander of the Legion of Helisatus, at the Kyoto Conference, you should remember what the Lord Marquis Duaikeri said!" Tatisso responded with a cold face, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, Du Master Akely has already ordered that if your legion retreats without authorization, our Eighth Cavalry Corps has the right to deal with it!"
"You! You" Helisatus's face flushed with anger, Tatiso looked up indifferently, and looked at the sky. "It's already past noon. Tonight, Master Dueric will lead the army there. , You still have one afternoon time, don’t say I didn’t remind you, you know the habits of Master Duaikeli, if you don’t want your head to be hung on the camp gate, you’d better organize the next wave of attack!"
