Ride and Cut

Five days is not short, but it is really fleeting if it is long.

When the scheduled attack time came, the Pompeii army once again lined up outside the city of Winter.

Military flags spread out, people neighed and horses honked, and the remade siege equipment was ready for battle. The infantry group looked solemn, quietly waiting for the order to attack.

Among the Pompeii soldiers who averaged less than eight blades per blade, more than a hundred strong men with more than two blades were extremely eye-catching, just like a group of ducks mixed with a few big white geese.

Not only their size, but their equipment is also very different from others. One can tell at a glance that they are all the most sophisticated and expensive heavy armor, and the size of the tomahawk they hold is also quite exaggerated. They stood together in a group, and they didn't like to communicate with other Pompeii soldiers, but there was a burst of laughter among themselves from time to time, which was extremely harsh in the quiet morning.

Of course, this is the barbarian warrior of Gaoshanbao.

The body structure of the Skaar lizardmen and centaurs is quite special, and they are not suitable for siege warfare at all, so today only the lord and all the barbarian warriors participated.

There is a whole ring of crystal bottles pinned to Li Cha's belt, full of high-grade holy water, shining with dazzling golden light, making him look like an upstart.

Ever since Suffolk said that the expeditionary force would support Alpine Fort as much as possible, he paid attention to it, and took the opportunity to grab the wool from the Ice and Snow Priest.

There is a dwarf blacksmith in Alpine Fort who does not lack ordinary equipment, and he will not be given high-end magic weapons at all. Holy water is one of the very few things that can be obtained, and it is more or less useful, so it is immediately missed by thieves.

"One bottle per person." The lord was walking in front of the barbarian warriors one by one, carrying out the distribution of holy water. Anyway, this thing is not expired within a certain period of time, he is very generous.

The savages laughed and looked at the crystal bottle with curious eyes, saying that this thing looks quite valuable.

"Nonsense, of course it's worth money." From the corner of Li Cha's eyes, he suddenly caught sight of Pastor Granling not far away, and immediately changed his words, "And it's not just about money, belief, do you understand belief?"

"Cut~" More than a hundred barbarian warriors made disdainful voices. They had never seen their leader pray to any god, and now they are ashamed to talk about faith.

After all the preparations were ready, twenty Pompeian guards of honor with gold medals and collars stood at the front and raised a huge horn with a blade as long as it was long.

"Woo~" The dull and loud horn sounded, and the brigade of infantry stepped forward to launch a new round of offensive against Winter City.

The clusters of arrows shot down from the city wall were not too dense, and they occasionally landed on the armor with tinkling noises, without any threat at all. Compared with the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun by the defenders of Winter City, it almost made people wonder if they had exhausted their fighting spirit.

But we must not relax our vigilance just because of this. The Stuarts used the same trick three days ago, deliberately relaxing their defenses to make people think that breaking the city was just around the corner. As a result, they attacked too hastily and trapped 3,000 people.

Now the entire Pompeii expeditionary force has a vague consensus—the general in charge of the city is a real old fox, and if he is expected to make mistakes on his own initiative, he should go to bed early. Any abnormal behavior may be a trap set on purpose, and it is absolutely necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

"Boss, why don't we run faster?" Gunther followed his lord, slowly falling behind everyone. According to the intensity of Gao Shanbao's usual training, with half the level, he can easily leave everyone behind.

"Run so fast and rush to the sky?" Li Cha responded angrily.

He didn't want to fill the meat grinder with Gao Shanbao's team at all, so he paddled as much as he could. After all, they are all heavily armored soldiers, so it is not difficult to understand that their skills are a little slow.

The trebuchet threw the blazing enhanced stone ball from behind, and soon fell on the wall and splashed gravel. The Pompeii soldiers began to shout and climb the wall, and dozens of people were knocked down one after another by arrows at the front, but the loss was insignificant, and it was completely unable to stop the siege army like an ant swarm.

Li Cha led all the barbarians to run at the end, and when the Pompeii soldiers stood firm on the wall, they had just finished half the distance.

When the lord got his head out from the roof of the building, the situation of the city was set. The few Stuart defenders were all executed, and behind the city wall, there were no ghosts in the defensive buildings that had played a key role several times.

The troops who ascended the city earlier were expanding their results to both sides. Judging from their advancing speed, it was obvious that they did not encounter any decent resistance. The defenders in the city seemed to disappear collectively all of a sudden, and they haven't been seen yet.

"Fuck, what kind of tricks is Stuart up to?" This was Richard's first reaction.

There will be no pies in the sky, he doesn't believe that the other party will abandon the city so easily. You must be holding back some bad water, and you must be extra careful at this time.

"Chichu!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Li Cha found that Qiqiu, who was staying in the camp, followed him all the way. The little black devil has gained a lot of weight recently, his fur is fluffy and soft, with a fat ring around his stomach, he looks a little demented.

"Don't make trouble here, go back and play by yourself."

He stretched out his hand and flicked his finger on Qiqiu's buttocks. Before the little guy could yell out, he picked it up and shot it towards the outside of the city wall like throwing a shot put. Qiqiu opened his rib membrane in mid-air and glides towards the camp.

"Boss, the enemy is coming!" Gunther was the first to notice the anomaly, patted the lord's arm armor, and pointed to a street in the distance.

Richard looked along his arm, and immediately caught a large group of Stuart soldiers running wildly. These soldiers seemed to belong to different groups, and the armor on their bodies was obviously different. They were divided into two groups, one in front and one in back, separated by a distance of about ten yards.

The group in front is a very common city guard recently, and the group in the back looks relatively unfamiliar, but they all have obvious double-headed eagle logos on their armor, so they must be Stuarts.

"Prepare to copy guys!" Seeing that there were obviously enemy troops appearing, the lord felt that his heart had fallen into his stomach, and he felt much more at ease. Instead of waiting in fear for unknown dangers and scaring myself half to death, it is better to show that the horses and horses throw off their arms and do a big job.

The savages shouted and rushed down from the city wall with their leader. Before they could get down the steps to the ground, Li Cha suddenly stopped. A group of savages behind him were too fierce to stop, and they huddled together tightly.

"Boss, do we still have to wait for others to go first?" Gunther was quite good at drawing inferences.

"Wait, wait, why do I feel something is wrong." Li Cha looked at the approaching Stuart soldiers, his eyes narrowed.

The soldiers of the city guard in front were not so much charging, but more like... running for their lives!
