Chapter 422: Swear to live and die with Feiyu Town!
As the horn sounded, the city walls of Feiyu Town suddenly became noisy.
The shouts of officers, the running sounds of soldiers, and the scratching sounds of moving giant crossbows were mixed together, making everyone present deeply feel the urgency of war.
Under the command of the chief, the militiamen and knights of Feiyu Town were all in place. They picked up their weapons, drew their arrows, and were ready for battle.
After Baron Williams heard the horn sound, he also rode a tropical dragon and rushed to the city wall as soon as possible.
He turned over and descended from the dragon, waved his hand to avoid the salutes of the soldiers, and then walked quickly to the city wall, holding on to the wall stacks and looking down.
In the open space in front of the city wall, the troops of the Three Towns Alliance were slowly approaching Feiyu Town.
In order to prevent the archers' vision from being blocked and to prevent the enemy from using local materials to build siege equipment, Baron Williams had already ordered the weeds, trees and other obstacles in front of the city wall to be cleared.
So he could clearly see the size of the force.
After taking a general look, Williams breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the enemy had a large number of militia troops, Williams could tell at a glance that many of them were not regular militiamen, just ordinary civilians, and they were just cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The most critical thing is that the enemy's main force is the Silver Leaf Knights. The lords of Wudou Town and Shiyuan Town did not bring their own knights, which greatly reduced the pressure on Feiyu Town to defend the city.
Originally, Williams was worried that Feiyu Town would not be able to hold out for long under the full attack of the three-town alliance, and that it might be captured by the enemy before reinforcements from Yinghuo Town arrived.
Now it seems that his grandson's behavior of searching for intelligence also stimulated Baron Soto. When he realized that his intelligence was leaked, he did not wait for the troops from the other two towns, but launched a war in advance.
This is undoubtedly good news for Feiyu Town.
Although the troops from the other two towns will arrive soon, their reinforcements from Feiyu Town are also on the way.
As long as they can wait for the support from Yinghuo Town, Feiyu Town will most likely be able to block the enemy's attack.
After observing the troops of the Three Towns Alliance, Williams was about to turn around and give orders to his subordinates when he found that the knights and militiamen were a little nervous.
The former was okay, but his expression was solemn, while the expression on the latter's face was stiff, and he unconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand.
It's normal to think about it. In the past, the wars between Feiyu Town and Silver Leaf Town were basically fought in the wild.
As for the reason, the Knights of Feiyu Town can maximize their aerial advantage in the wild, and they can still run away if they can't beat them.
Silver Leaf Town did not want to fight a brutal siege and tried to annihilate Feiyu Town's air force in the wild.
Therefore, both forces tacitly placed the battlefield in the wild, which resulted in the militiamen responsible for defending the city having not experienced much real war.
In addition, Williams could see the size of the enemy, and so could the militiamen, but they did not know the combat effectiveness gap between the troops. They only knew that the enemy was numerous, so it would be strange not to panic.
Looking at the militiamen's slightly trembling hands, Williams knew he had to say something.
"my soldiers"
Williams shouted loudly, and his voice reached the ears of everyone present, attracting their attention.
They all turned to stare at Williams, listening to their lord's speech.
Facing the eyes of his soldiers, Williams continued in an passionate tone:
"As you can see, the enemy has approached Feiyu Town. The war is coming, and the enemy we face this time is stronger than before."
"Maybe some people will be afraid because of this, maybe you have lost confidence in this war."
Hearing these words, many militiamen lowered their heads in shame, apparently because Williams was right.
"But you don't need to be ashamed. Being able to stand here and face the enemy is enough to prove your courage and loyalty. I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you."
After saying that, Williams bowed towards the soldiers on the wall.
The soldiers' eyes widened when they saw this, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
This is their lord, a noble baron, who actually bows to commoners like them.
The fear and confusion in the hearts of the militiamen gradually faded away, replaced by deep emotion.
The knights' eyes also shone with excitement, and they couldn't wait to leave the city now and fight to the death with the enemies outside.
Williams raised his head and continued:
"Behind us is Feiyu Town, where your parents, wives, children and partners live. Once the enemy breaks through Feiyu Town, they will all be hurt or even lose their lives."
"This group of crazy enemies outside the city, driven by hatred, will kill your fathers and sons, defile your wives and daughters, and rob your property and food. You will also become their slaves and live a miserable life every day. A life of death.”
Listening to Williams's shouting, the soldiers' eyes slowly lit up with angry flames.
With every word Williams said, the anger in their eyes grew stronger.
At the end of the sentence, the soldiers all gritted their teeth, and their hatred for the enemies outside the city reached its peak.
Williams took in the soldiers' reactions and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
However, it is not enough to arouse the hatred of the soldiers. This is just a temporary emotion. If you want them to maintain a high fighting spirit, you still have to solve their worries and provide benefits at the same time.
So Williams said sincerely: "In order to protect our relatives and home, the only thing we can do is to fight to the death and let the bastards outside the city see how powerful we are. Even if we die, we cannot let them cross the border." Take a step into Feiyu Town!”
"You don't have to worry about the situation of your family after you die in battle. I swear to you in the name of my family that I will take care of the families of all soldiers who died in this war and will never let their families starve to death. "
"In addition, I also promise you that all soldiers who have made meritorious service in this war will be heavily rewarded by me. Even if the warehouse is empty, I will let you get the rewards you deserve!"
Sure enough, after hearing Williams' promise, the soldiers' faces showed excitement.
Seeing this, Williams struck while the iron was hot: "Everyone, your relatives are watching you in the city. Whether you want to be a coward for a moment, or become an eternal warrior in their hearts, it is all up to you to decide."
"And I have made up my mind. I will fight until the last moment. Unless I die in the hands of the enemy, I will never take a step back!"
As Williams spoke, he drew out the sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted:
"I swear to live and die with Feiyu Town!"
When the soldiers heard this, they all raised their weapons and responded excitedly:
"I swear to live and die with Feiyu Town!!"
This exciting shout lasted for a long time and kept echoing on the city walls.
The soldiers in Feiyu Town have long forgotten the fear in their hearts, and their chests are full of heroic fighting spirit.
——
The shouts on the city wall vaguely reached the ears of Baron Soto. He glanced at the city wall of Feiyu Town with interest and sighed in his heart:
"He is worthy of the old and strong Baron Williams. No matter where he is, no matter what the situation is, he can always inspire people and arouse the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers."
"If he hadn't had this ability, Feiyu Town would have been dragged down by failed wars."
"However, no matter how high the fighting spirit is, it cannot make up for the gap in strength. The grudge between the two towns should come to an end!"
Thinking of this, Baron Soto raised his right hand and stopped the troops.
The Silver Leaf Knights immediately stopped advancing. Only the militia troops in front were still pushing each other forward, but they were stopped by the knights' servants with whips. They stayed in place and waited for Soto's next order. .
When Baron Bauer saw the troops stopped, he rode the Swampert to Soto's side.
He glanced at the Bulbasaur subconsciously, and then said to Soto:
"Does Baron Soto want to rest where he is and wait for the siege equipment behind him?"
If you want to conquer a town, it is useless to fill it with flesh and blood.
Either you have to be like Baron Bach and have a magical beast that can breach the city wall, or you have to rely on siege equipment.
Although Soto's Bulbasaur is powerful, it cannot easily conquer the city wall. After all, there are specialties in the art.
What's more, Baron Williams on the city wall will not let Bulbasaur easily come to the city wall, and will definitely send Warcraft to stop it.
The reason why the former Baron Bach was able to capture the city wall of Rose Town was partly because the big steel snake was good at digging holes and could sneak into the bottom of the city wall without anyone noticing.
On the other hand, everyone in Rose Town did not expect that Baron Bach would attack them, and they were not prepared for war.
Feiyu Town, unlike Rose Town, had already entered a state of combat readiness, and Williams was not as inexperienced as Lancaster, so Soto could only rely on siege equipment.
However, the siege equipment was too bulky. Except for the lightweight wooden ladders, other equipment had to be pushed slowly by manpower, which greatly slowed down the marching speed.
In order to reach Feiyu Town as soon as possible, Soto abandoned the baggage train, and it took him most of the day to reach the city wall of Feiyu Town.
To be honest, Baron Bauer really didn't understand why Soto abandoned his siege equipment.
Could it be that he thought Feiyu Town could be captured with militiamen and crude wooden ladders?
Or does he want the Silver Leaf Knights to dismount and attack the city? This is even more impossible.
Until now, Bauer still believed that he had to wait until the baggage team behind arrived on the battlefield before launching an attack on Feiyu Town.
But Baron Soto said calmly: "There is no need to rest, I just want to let the people in Feiyu Town know that I have arrived."
"Knight Commander Torre, please pass on the order and ask the militia to say hello to the old friends in Feiyu Town first."
"As you command!"
Torre leaned forward to accept the order, then rode a thunder zebra to the rear of the militia and said to their captain:
"The lord has given an order, and the militia will immediately launch an attack on Feiyu Town!"
After hearing the order, the captain of the militia team said with an embarrassed face:
"Reporting to the Lord Knight, our militia team has been traveling for most of the day without taking a break. We are already exhausted. Can you let us rest for a while before launching the attack?"
Torre frowned when he heard this. He also felt that what the militia captain said was reasonable, but no one could disobey Lord Soto's order.
So Torre directly drew his knight's sword and pointed it at the militia captain:
"This is Lord Soto's order. Do you want to disobey it?"
"According to the military regulations of Silver Leaf Town, anyone who resists orders will be killed. I'll ask you again, do you accept orders?"
The thunder zebra under Torre's crotch also purred in cooperation, its front hooves constantly digging at the ground.
The militia captain said in a panic: "No, no, no, how dare I disobey the Lord's order? I will lead the militia to attack Feiyu Town."
"Very well, I hope you will not disappoint Master Soto."
Torre put away the knight's sword and turned back to the knights, leaving only the militia captain standing there helplessly shaking his head.
He sighed deeply, and then shouted loudly to the stumbling militiamen:
"The lord ordered us to attack Feiyu Town immediately. Please grab your weapons and charge towards Feiyu Town!"
"Don't complain to me here, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"The supervising team is behind you. If you don't want to die in their hands, just follow me and charge forward!"
Under the scolding and threats of the militia captain, the militia team reluctantly picked up their weapons, shouldered the wooden ladder, and rushed toward the city wall of Feiyu Town.
"Come on!"
"For Lord Soto!"
"For the glory of Silverleaf Town!"
Although the militia captain shouted "Charge with me", he did not take the lead. Instead, he hid behind the large troops and shouted slogans.
He's not stupid, Baron Soto is clearly using them as cannon fodder, so he won't rush to die.
Baron Williams on the city wall saw that the troops of the three-town alliance had not rested, so he launched an attack on Feiyu Town. The militia was the first to attack, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
What's Soto's idea? Isn’t this sending the militia to die?
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, since these militiamen are rushing to kill people, he can't do without them.
Baron Williams simply stopped thinking about it and immediately ordered his soldiers:
"The enemy is coming. Hold your ground and put the enemy within the range of the crossbow before attacking!"
"As you command!"
The soldiers took the order one after another, then drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemies outside the city.
"Fire the arrow!"
After the Silver Leaf Town militia entered their shooting range, they loosened their bow strings at the command of their commander, and sharp arrows flew towards the enemy like a gust of wind.
"Whizzing!"
Although the militiamen's archery accuracy is not very good, a large number of arrows will always hit a few unlucky ones.
The militiamen holding wooden shields were lucky. They could use their shields to block key parts of their bodies. Even if they were hit by arrows, it would not be fatal.
But those temporary militiamen holding farm tools did not receive such good treatment. They had no protective gear and did not know how to dodge, so they were living targets.
Some militiamen were shot in fatal parts such as the chest and head, and fell to the ground dying.
They were lucky, at least they died happily without suffering any torture.
The unlucky militiamen were shot in other parts. Although their lives were temporarily saved, the pain from their bodies made them tortured.
And no one will save them, they can only lie on the ground, feeling their lives slowly passing away.
For a time, the battlefield was filled with the wails of the Silver Leaf Town militia:
"Ah! My eyes! I can't see anything!"
"Help! I don't want to die yet, my family is still waiting for me to come home!"
"Someone come and save me! My fiancée and I have made an agreement that I must go back alive to marry her!"
"Mom, I miss you"
