Chapter 109: Dato's Counterattack (3)

Seeing the fire ignited by the fortress walls, the fat man felt a sudden squint. The commander of the fortress commanded "please enter the urn" to play beautifully. If he was a commander of the fortress, he would take this trick to frustrate the nobility first in case of lack of military power. The sharpness of the army, but this trick makes the fat man familiar, seems to have seen it there.

"No! This trick seems to be the one that I played in Vizan. I burned the leftback cavalry." The fat man suddenly woke up, and only sent the guard captain Salon and several guards to carry out the matter. It seems that the fortress commanded The official should be one of them.

The fire of the city wall has been burning for almost an hour before it gradually weakened. The thick black smoke covered the sky, and the air smelled of disgusting scorching smell. The low fortress wall has cracked into a dozen sections due to high temperature burning, just like A row of crooked teeth, the Toda Fortress exchanged its outer perimeter for precious time, and it also thwarted the morale of the noble army

   "How many more of us!" Fortress commander Zidani watched the enemies gathering under the mountain,

   In the afternoon, two more noble troops appeared in the woods outside the Toda Fortress. Now the entire fortress is surrounded by nearly 20,000 enemies outside. The drums assembled under the city ring like a nonstop sound.

   A team of heavy infantry was arranged in a neat square array outside the city walls, and the erected spear formation even covered the woods outside the fortress.

   If it wasn't for the raging wall fire that could not be extinguished for the time being, the 3,000 people who defended the fortress had already been torn to pieces by the tens of thousands of noble armies that were all red outside.

   "Three hundred eighty-six people were killed in battle and eight hundred and thirty-one were injured. Now we only have one large group!" Lieutenant Guto replied pale,

   wrapped a white cloth around his left ear. He grinned slightly because he pulled the wound on his ear when speaking.

   While defending the city wall, a flowing arrow flew to his left ear, and the white cloth covering the wound penetrated the blood stains, which was shocking to see, but Guto was not taken seriously by these,

  For him, the war knife representing Samor's guard status on his waist is more important than his ears.

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

   That night, the flames on the walls of Vizan were so violent, and the tragic image of the thousands of left-back cavalry who had been burnt into coke left a deep impression on him.

It happened that this time a batch of crude oil was brought in from the headquarters of the legion, which was originally transported as an important military material, but because the noble army raided the Taku mountain pass, this batch of materials was delayed like this, and the deputy officer of the Toda fortress with insufficient strength took the fat man. Recruiting and learning to use,

  Herissatus's tiger corps deserves to be out of luck too.

   "A Brigade!"

Zidani’s face was a bit ugly. The outer wall of the fortress has become a waste. Only this thousand-meter winding mountain road is the last support of the fortress. Tens of thousands of enemies gathered outside the fortress have begun to move slowly. With their own force, they want to It is almost impossible to keep the Panshan Road steady.

"Has the signal of the enemy attack been sent out?" Zidani asked in a low voice, and the adjutant Guto could only nod slightly because of the ear injury. "Yes, Commander, I received the warning signal from Sawazu this morning. We immediately lit the smoke of communication, I believe that at this time, the headquarters of the legion should have received the news!"

   "Just like that!" Zidani nodded, with a wide-open smile on his face,

"In this case, our task is considered completed. Now we drag the enemy for one more minute, and we gain a point for the legion’s large forces. The enemy’s most important time for this raid, and the legion’s reinforcements, also need the most time. , And this most important weight is in our hands! We are the last line of defense in northern Frondi. If we withdraw, the entire Frondi area will fall into the hands of nobles, and the entire northern gate of Samor will be Will be open, our relatives, brothers, sisters, lovers may face the enemy's butcher's knife at any time. We have no choice but to stay here and nail the enemy here, brother, you said, do you understand!"

   "Yes, my subordinates understood" Lieutenant Guto nodded slightly unexpectedly. Zidani ordered the death, and the commander of the Zhivadin businessman came to block everything for Samor.

Soon, three black wolf smoke ignited on the top of the mountain. All the Samor crossbowmen stationed in the mountain sentry tower looked at the three black smoke straight up to the sky. That was the last command issued by the fortress commander. The three-legged falcon battle The billowing wolf smoke under the Samor Army means

   "Fight to death! Long live Samor!"

The crossbowmen once again check the number of crossbow arrows in their quiver, wipe the bright arrows with cloth, tighten the strings of the crossbow bow, make sure it can shoot all the arrows, and finally tie the crossbow dagger to the waist No matter who wants to pass through the mountain road in front of the outpost, he must step on his body.

At the same time, before the outbreak of the fortress fire, Helissatus also saw three black smokes that went straight up to the sky. As a veteran who once served as a battlefield mercenary, he is no stranger to this signal of death and smoke. ,

   "Samor is about to die!"

  Helisatus sighed, and arrived at the Fortress from Krystal in Kyoto. This distance, which was only half a day away, caused him to be proud of the heavy casualties of the Tigers.

   At least nearly 3,000 people died in battle,

More than 2,000 people were injured. The three infantry flag regiments and archer brigades in the main battle were all wounded and sick, and the combat power was greatly reduced. The soldiers were even panicked by the fire. Do not say to organize the army again at this time. Siege is just an urge to drive away, which may cause soldiers to mutiny

Therefore, the Tigers temporarily evacuated the attack sequence. This time, the first wave of attack was another second-rate force in the private aristocracy, the Lingda July Mercenary Corps, which is a corps composed mainly of mercenaries. There are 8,000 people under the jurisdiction of four flag regiments. Because of their poor military discipline and lack of combat capability, most of the time they only served as garrison missions. This time the noble private army was desperate. Even this non-main battle regiment was sent. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Behind the Lingda July Mercenary Corps, it is one of the real main forces of the private army. The famous Goosegangfen Heavy Infantry Regiment, with a population of 10,000, is well-equipped with heavy armor and shield spear infantry, most of whom come from near Kyoto The area of ​​El Gangfen, where the family of the Marquis of Duacri.

As the fire became smaller and smaller, the dense drums sounded like a rainstorm, and the long-awaited mercenaries swarmed to the mountain road. This time the nobles paid a big bounty, who rushed to the top of the mountain and gave 100 gold coins. The reward, who cut off the commander of Samor's head, directly sealed as the Knight of Glory.

"Swoosh, swoosh" mercenaries just approached the entrance of the mountain road, the arrows on both sides of the sentry tower fell like rain, and the mercenaries rushed to the front fell a dozen, but this did not affect the people behind to continue to rush up. Get the first bounty, and even rushed towards the top of the mountain with the arrowhead above, but what was waiting for them was the rigorous Samorian formation, the dense lance array of the Samorians and the constantly shooting crossbow arrows, let the mercenaries The film falls,

Each sentry tower is equipped with 20 crossbowmen and 10 shield soldiers. The gate of the sentry tower is made of two layers of iron windows. The crossbowmen even squatted directly at the iron windows. Many mercenaries who tried to smash the door, They were shot dead by crossbowmen with their heads. The bodies rolled down the mountain road. Although more than ten outposts on the mountain road were like small boats swaying in the storm, they were gradually submerged by the tide. .

"Shoot you!" Darius, the crossbowman, howled with blood stains, and shot the last crossbow in the quiver into the enemy's chest. The mercenaries swarming outside had already smashed the gate of the outpost, ten. The shield soldier blocked the enemy on the corridor like a wall. The crossbowmen in the back continuously shot the enemy crowded on the corridor, and the corpses accumulated on the corridor steps of the sentry tower.
