Power and Empire Chapter 140: Dato’s counterattack (4)
The battle for the post tower on the mountain road has become fierce. The mercenaries, relying on the crowds, braved the arrows falling from the top of their heads, and smashed the iron windows of the post tower with their heavy weapons. The narrow passage of the post tower became the guard inside. The only line of defense,
The crossbowmen who have emptied their quiver smashed their hands to pieces on the ground, picked up the shield prepared in the guard tower, and fought the enemies in the corridor with the crossbowman's dagger in their hands. Everyone in the guard tower The layers are all defenses, stabbed with swords, smashed with stones, with shields to withstand the enemies that are rushing up, and the short sword in hand stabs from the gap,
Until the enemy fell with his eyes open, or was stabbed to death on the stairs by the rushing enemy, the stubbornness and sturdiness of the Samorians at this moment made the mercenaries feel heart palpitations, mercenaries who have always been selling their lives as their profession They were also frightened by these defenders who were not afraid of death. Many mercenaries were pushed down from the stairs by the Samorians with shields, and they fell on the ground more than ten meters and couldn't get up.
An anxious scream resounded through the mountain road, seeing the mercenaries' poor attack ability, and the two heavy spearmen brigades of the Eganfen Heavy Infantry Regiment, one of the main forces of the noble army, began to slowly move into the fortress. , To a blade that splits the tide, to drive away the mercenaries crowded together in front,
Time is precious. The private army nobles don’t want to see the mercenary army continue to entangle like this. The arrows of the Samorian crossbowmen have been exhausted by the mercenaries. All they need is an elite heavy infantry to press on. Solve the battle easily.
"Look! These noble masters are here to pick up the bargains again!"
"These tin buckets are also the most active at this time. When we risked our lives just now, where were they? Now I’m here to pick up the bargains."
The line of spears of the Heavy Lancers made the mercenaries in front of them unwilling to give way, but their mouths sneered and sneered at the heavy Lancers.
The addition of the heavy spearman completely collapsed the defense line of the sentry tower. None of the five hundred defenders of the defensive tower surrendered and all died in battle.
The fortress commander Zidani is covered in blood. He has been standing at the forefront of the Samorian army that guards the top of the mountain. As a commander who gives orders to his men to death, Zidani is not allowed to fight in blood. The Samorian soldiers saw their commander hiding at the end before the provisional. This was an insult to these brave soldiers who trusted themselves and gave their lives to themselves.
"Dear Samor Warriors" Zidani turned his head and glanced at the 700 Samor soldiers remaining behind him, holding up his sword and shouting, "The brothers in the tower explained to us what a warrior is. Here we are!"
The slowly advancing Eganfen heavy armored spearmen stopped in front of the top of the mountain. The road on the top of the mountain was very narrow, only enough for three or four people to stand side by side. The Samorians had already set their positions on the opposite side, with dense spears. Opened like a hedgehog, strangling the last line of defense of the fortress.
"What's going on!" Sabens, the newly arrived head of the Fifth Banner of the Private Army, looked at the tragedy on the mountain road in disbelief. "Twenty thousand people attacked a small fortress with only 3,000 people defending, and it wasted the whole thing. One afternoon!"
"They are real warriors!" Helisatus said respectfully. "I don't know how the Samorians trained these timid farmers to become such fierce beasts as they are now! If we The opponents are such people, so the only thing we can do is to withdraw to Kyoto immediately!"
" Commander Helissatus, I think you were scared by the Samos! "Vilaf, the commander of the Goose Gangfen reloading the flag regiment, didn't care." Whether they are beasts or Farmers, in front of our sharp Goose Gangfen heavy spears, they can only become fragments!"
"Shards! The Samorians' defense is as tough as a boiled cowhide. I bet that even with the same military strength, the sharp Goose Gangfen heavy spear will not be able to pierce the Samorian's defense line!" The taunting Helissatus was dissatisfied and said, "If you don't believe it, you can use the same number of heavy spearmen to try the Samorians who hit the top of the mountain!"
"Okay, adults no longer need to fight for this little fortress! Whether they are fighters or fragments, they will soon become the last corpses of this fortress. "The old treacherous Tattisso will come out to make ends meet
"We should now discuss the route to the south. The Florentine region can now be said to be our world. This is the result of our sincere cooperation. We will be the heroes of all the private army nobles in Kyoto. According to the original plan, the Tigers should have moved south to the junction area of the Samor, cutting off the connection between the Samor Fortress and the Florentine region, and the Fifth Banner and the Eganfen Heavy Infantry Banner were removed from Behind the attack on the Samor army in the Omr area, my light cavalry regiment merged with the main force of Lord Duakri to follow up the remnant army in the Muir area that was defeated by encirclement. Now it seems that this plan needs to be revised!"
Hearing that the plan needs to be revised, several generals did not say anything. The Tiger Legion of Helissatus was originally set up as cannon fodder. Now I heard that my army was on top, and no one was willing to die. It’s one thing to say that it’s great, but it’s another thing to really face it. Thinking that tens of thousands of Samor’s troops will come from Samor like a tide, the generals feel cold. Not only will this life be hard, but it may also become Victims of the nobles.
Facing this situation, Tatiso coughed awkwardly~IndoMTL.com~ took out a letter from his arms
"I have quickly reported the situation here to Master Du Aikri. In view of our current situation, Master Du Aikri believes that the Tigers are no longer able to perform the task of blocking the reinforcements of Samor. This task will Leave it to one of us, I don’t know that adult is willing to take on this important task!"
"I am a light infantry regiment, and I can't resist the attack of the Samor archers at all!" Sabens, the commander of the Fifth Banner, replied, "What's more, I heard that the Samor Cavalry can compete with the Kujit Ranger. , My little person is not enough for the Samaritans to stuff their teeth!"
Private army generals are arguing about task assignment again, but the fat guy hiding in the distant mountain pass has wet eyes and slight tremors in his mouth
"They are all good!" The guard towers were overwhelmed by mercenaries, no one escaped, no one evacuated, the resistance continued to the top of the guard tower,
At the last moment, many Satsuma defenders ignited the crude oil barrels stored on the top, violent explosions and fire light torched the guard tower, dense smoke filled the entire Panshan Road, and the raging fire guard tower seemed to be lit. The torch, the thick smoke billowing straight up can be seen clearly even a few miles away
One kilometer away from Toda fortress, a group of Samorian cavalry is approaching quickly. The sound of fighting in the fortress is clear and audible, and the heavy smoke above makes the leader of the army anxious, looking at the mountain pass not far away. Salong yelled violently
"The whole army draws knives and prepares for an assault!"
"唰"The knife was drawn neatly with a blade of light. The vibration of the horse's hoof was already covered by the drumbeats assembled in front of the fortress. The private army generals did not know that the sharpest sword of Samor had been silent. Attacked them
