642 Decisive Battle of Three Counties (1)

"Quick, everyone get on the city wall"

When Duke Lofthauser fell from an arrow, he happened to hear the voice of the city guard Morendo coming from a distance. At this moment, this voice was so kind and lovely. Although Duke Lofthouser was a big idiot, But that doesn't mean he doesn't know himself.

The Royal Family of Ruedian handed over Ukhauser, the logistics center of the three northern counties, to him, not only because of his loyalty to the royal family, but also because there are indeed several powerful characters under Duke Lofthauser, such as this Knight Commander Monendo is a commander with many battle experiences. Sariker, who is responsible for finance, is the most trusted local political officer of the royal family.

In the flickering firelight at the battlement entrance, a middle-aged knight holding a shield ran over with people.

"Your Majesty Duke, are you okay?" He half-knelt down to block the incoming arrows for the Duke, who was lying on the ground waiting for death, while shouting loudly behind him.

"Dix, you immediately lead your 500 men to the east end of the city wall to replace Sjak. His squadron can no longer withstand it. Orasby, you take 200 men to guard the city gate for me, or you will die. We must not let the Kugits open the city gate.

"Damn it, you couldn't have come in time." Duke Lofthauser grunted with some dissatisfaction, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The Ridian knights who had followed Moendo were rushing him out of the city road. Lifting up, countless arrow clusters with sharp whistling sounds clanked against the knight's shield.

After some simple inspections, City Guard Officer Moendo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Duke was fine, at least generally, because the Kugits used compound bows used by cavalry, which could not penetrate heavy armor. It is far more powerful than the rifles used by regular infantry. The soldiers had strong bows, and Duke Lofthauser was wearing two layers of heavy knight armor. Although he was hit by seven or eight arrows, they were only shot through one layer of armor. His arms suffered some damage due to the impact when his body fell. Slight injury, this is a dumbfounding result.

Because in order to rescue the Duke from the enemy's arrows, the knights who went to rescue were not so lucky. The Kugits' covering fire caused them to fall more than 10 people, several of whom were excellent. Officers, their hot blood spattered from the arrows that pierced the body, dripping on the face of Duke Lofthauser on the ground. Most of the blood on the Duke came from them,

Mo Endo looked carefully at the chaotic city wall. The red light of flames was everywhere on the city wall. The rockets of the Kugits were like meteors, whizzing towards the city wall. There were fierce killings and wounded soldiers everywhere. With screams, the sturdy wooden arrow towers of the city wall have been lit by rockets, like a huge candle burning,

But it can be seen that the shooting of the Kugits is also very messy. Their cavalry compound bows are not suitable for siege. After the initial concentrated attack, they can only use occasional covering shots to cover up the lack of armor penetration. The shortcoming is that every time when arrows are fired, the Kugits under the city will rush up with their cavalry bucklers. From east to west, the entire city wall is an attack point. At first glance, there is no attack. Newbies crossing the city wall

For such a novice, the experienced Moendo certainly knew what to do. He shouted to the messengers around him, "Tell the squadrons not to mess up. This is just a test attack by the enemy. As long as you hold on until dawn, the Kugits will retreat." "

"Lord Monendo seems to have some problems."

At this time, the shouts of the knights who were bandaging the Duke came from the side. Moendo looked down and saw that Duke Lofthauser's eyes were wandering and could not focus on one point at all. His eyes were scattered. This was the result of absence syndrome. sign,

The face of the city guard Moendo was a little ugly. He knew that Duke Lofthauser had this disease, but he didn't expect it to happen at this moment. The Duke was obviously unable to control himself at this moment.

Under the city wall, Duo Weiyan looked at Ukhauser in front of him with bulging eyes. As time went on, it was obvious that the initial panic of the Ruidian people was subduing, especially when elite soldiers appeared on the city wall. Most of them were well-equipped. The shields and spears in their hands suppressed the scimitars of the Kujit cavalry during the siege.

"Sir, such a comprehensive attack is not possible. Even at dawn, we cannot capture the city wall."

Ruitan'er, the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, ran back from the front. The armor on his body was stained with blood. He didn't know whether it was his own or the Ruidian people's. From his mental point of view, he looked very embarrassed. Rui Tan'er, who came after him, The Erdian regular heavy infantry possess excellent combat skills. They lined up their heavy shields in their hands and kept squeezing the Kugit defense line with their long spears. If it were not for the support of the shooters below the city, the troops who rushed to the city wall would have been long gone. He was kicked off the city wall

"How many enemies are there?" Duo Weiyan asked with concern

"There should be less than 4,000 people." Ruitan'er wiped the blood on his face with his hand and responded with certainty, "We have 1,500 people rushing forward. If the enemy had an overwhelming advantage, we would have been driven away long ago." Come down, but the opponent is obviously passively defending. Obviously because of the dark night, they are wary of our military strength and are afraid that attacking without authorization will expose their weaknesses. The entire city wall is about 600 meters long. According to conventional calculations, this level of Defense should be a sign of insufficient strength.”

Ruitan'er's voice paused and continued, "Among these 4,000 people, the only ones with real fighting power may be the 1,000 people who came from behind to support the east wall and the city gate. The troops we rushed up were already close to the city gate. As long as we opened the The gate can allow our cavalry to rush in, but it is a pity that because of them, we are completely suppressed only 20 meters away from the city gate, and we can only stare at the city gate."

"Then what do you think we should do? It's really going to be dawn. In order to protect ourselves, we have no choice but to retreat." Duo Weiyan looked at him anxiously,

Everyone knows that the Kujit cavalry is not good at attacking cities, so Duo Weiyan chose to launch a surprise attack at night. The night can conceal his true strength, and he raided a large fortress with 6,000 troops. It was completely It is a kind of gambling behavior. Once the attack is unfavorable, or the details of the military strength are exposed, arousing the defenders' desperate resistance, the difficulty of siege will increase exponentially.

"There is only one way now." Ruitan'er hesitated for a moment, raised his finger and pointed to the location of the city wall near the city gate, and said, "Concentrate your forces to capture there, then move the archers up the city wall, shoot down the elite soldiers from a high position, and as long as the city is broken, Door, our cavalry advantage can be brought into play."
