Chapter 514 Will Golan be destroyed? (Add two updates in one)

Will Golan be destroyed?Will it simply perish?
For the dwarves, it was a certainty, it was a foregone conclusion.

Half of the kingdom fell, and even the king was captured in the hands of the dwarves. Successive victories made the dwarves unwilling to accept easy surrender - because they would not be able to gain military exploits.

And Kraft VI already had the idea of ​​forming a huge empire.

What came with the dwarves' soldiers was the dwarves' propaganda offensive.

They released all kinds of news, such as that a certain place has fallen, and a certain duke surrendered without a fight. These news are true and false, and spread on the battlefield. In addition, the dwarves also declared that once The Golans stopped resisting and became part of Calrond. They will selflessly share Herris's holy object "Book of Mechanics", and they will serve as pioneers to lead mankind to a great era.

The fighting spirit of the Kelan people has not dissipated.

They were slaves hundreds of years ago, their territory was full of yoke, they even lost their own name, they lived in fear of being oppressed, and they made unyielding and hopeless resistance again and again.

And these dwarves said to them, you don't need independence, you don't need freedom, what you need is to be included in the territory of Karrond, and you don't even need the identity of Golan, anyway, you will be Calrond by then, You should surrender, your freedom and independence are but a useless drug.

The voice of the dwarves is so rampant.

However, what the dwarves never thought was that what the Golans really didn't need was Karlond.

None of the three strongholds fell, and such a failure gave the dwarves who had always been invincible a blow. Among them, the failure encountered in Larsen Town was so conspicuous. After King Kraft VI heard about this, he was furious, and immediately He wrote a fierce letter and sent it to the legion attacking Larsen Town overnight.

After the anger, Kraft VI also noticed the importance of Larsen Town in time. It is located behind the boot fortress. Once Larsen town falls, the boots fortress will be isolated and helpless. Among the strongholds, the horse head fortress is the least important.

After thinking about it, Kafu VI ordered three legions from the two fortresses to besiege the town of Larsen. There is no doubt that this small town very close to Nolang will determine the survival of the Golan Kingdom.

After successfully taking over Lassen Town on the first day, Baron Amber, as the commander, rewarded the three armies. They held a simple sacrificial ceremony to the gods and shared fat lambs and cattle. The entire defense force of Lassen Town was Time to boost morale.

Wesset, the eldest son of Earl Maxwell, as the commander of the cavalry, Baron Amber gave him a whole lamb. The cavalry under his command.

Even though he was the son of the earl, Wessett did not act high in front of the soldiers. Instead, he ate and lived with the soldiers under his command.The old general gave the heir a good education and led him to military training early on, and these methods of strengthening the morale of the army were all taught to him by Maxwell.

The cavalry sat around the bonfire, and their armor was still on to prevent the enemy from raiding at night. Wessett, like an ordinary soldier, shared the poor ale with the others and discussed the bloodiness of the battlefield. , talking all kinds of dirty words.

"Those dwarves must really want to take this place, a bunch of shitty dwarves."

"So what, we will kill as many as they come."

"May Skadi bless us for cutting off their little ones and stuffing them in their mouths."

...............

All kinds of vulgar words floated over the bonfire, and Wessett listened silently, thinking about how to meet the next offensive.

"Hey, Lord Wesset, why don't you talk?"

asked a soldier boldly.

Wessett looked up, and he had some impression of this person. Others called him Leah the Braggart, because he was so talkative and had bold words every day, so he got this title.

In fact, Leah was not the soldier's name, but his daughter's name, but besides bragging, he always mentioned his daughter in front of others, so he got this title.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about how we should hold this place."

Wesset smiled,

"How did you play today?"

Leah, who loves bragging, became interested, and he raised his head and said:
"Today, my spear stabbed three dwarves, two of them died directly, and one was stabbed in the shoulder, and he escaped. When the spear broke in the back, I took the machete with the others. Cut, cut two, my lord, you must have not seen my heroic appearance at that time."

Leah described the scene of the battlefield vividly, and her exaggerated tone caused a burst of laughter around her. Wesert noticed that everyone present showed complete contempt for the dwarves.

Even though contempt may lead to underestimation of the enemy, contempt can also lead to fearless courage, which is what the Golan people need most today.

"This place is very close to the kingdom. After we defeat the dwarves, I will definitely find a bard to sing about my achievements today to my daughter Leah. She is really a little beauty. I don't know when Only then will I get married, and by then, my fame will be the best dowry."

Leah spoke a series without pause, the bonfire was burning brightly, and the cheerful atmosphere was so incompatible with the battlefield under her feet, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, this joy will no longer exist.

Wessett couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"It's very close to the kingdom... yes, it's very close to the kingdom. From here, you can even see the city walls of Nolan."

.................................... ..
Due to the obstruction of the attack, the dwarves followed the order of Kaf VI and mobilized the various legions overnight. The three legions arrived at the forward position of the dwarves in Larsen Town in a hurry. After a short rest, the dwarves began to run non-stop organized a new offensive.

The first round of onslaught took place in the early morning. The sky had just ushered in dawn, and the horns of the dwarves were blown a few miles away. The sentries in Lassen Town discovered the enemy's movements. They beat the war drums quickly, and the horns resounded throughout the area. The sky, the whole town boiled up, ready to resist the attack of the dwarves.Wessett mounted his horse quickly and organized all the cavalry under his command.

Among the nearly [-] troops of the Golan Kingdom, there are about [-] cavalry, of which [-] cavalry follow Maxwell's banner, [-] cavalry are distributed in the Horsehead Fort and Boot Fort, and the remaining [-] cavalry are deployed in the Larsen Town, which shows the importance of Larsen Town to the entire war.

And these more than 1000 cavalry will unconditionally obey the orders of the coach, just to defend the town of Larsen under their feet and buy precious time for Maxwell's raid and encirclement.

A mass of black dwarf infantry appeared in the distance, and the huge pressure accumulated on Wesert's body, making his hand holding the long sword drenched with sweat.

Once these thousand cavalrymen suffered heavy losses due to a mistake in their command, half of the town of Lassen would be lost. If the whole body was affected by one move, the Kingdom of Golan would probably be destroyed.

"Lord Wesset, the baron wants you to find a way to get around the flanks, harass the dwarves' infantry, and destroy their siege equipment."

The scout quickly brought over the order from the commander, Baron Amber. Wesset nodded, took a deep breath, raised his sword, and rode up.

Thousands of horseshoes sounded in the town of Larsen, and the dust flew up all of a sudden. The cavalry started to move, heading towards the side of the dark dwarf army.

The giant bed crossbows were set up, and the giants pushed these siege machines vigorously, trying to use them to hit the galloping cavalry, but the giants had just aimed, and under Wesert's timely command, the cavalry and the dwarves flanked If the infantry is close to a certain distance, once the crossbow is fired, friendly troops will be accidentally injured.

As a result, the bed crossbow changed its direction and headed towards the towers, houses, and trenches of Lassen Town.

The cavalry began to harass the dwarven infantry on the flanks. They threw short spears and arrows on their horses. On the front, a series of arrows flew by, coordinating with the cavalry to disrupt the formation of the dwarves.

Wessett asked the cavalry under his command to act as a lure to lure the impatient dwarves out of their original formation and break them one by one. This tactic quickly paid off, and dozens of dwarves died one after another under this tactic.

However, the harassment of the cavalry only slightly delayed the dwarves' attack speed, and did not cause a fatal blow to the dwarves. As the dwarves formed a more compact formation under the order of the legion commander, the lure tactics lost their original effectiveness. The cavalry didn't react, and fell into the siege of the dwarves. The dwarf's sword cut off the horse's foot, and the Golan's head fell to the ground.

Weisset hurriedly directed the cavalry to evacuate and move closer to the side of the hillside as quickly as possible, looking for opportunities to attack the enemy's siege equipment.

The battlefield is cruel and unexpected.

Although the cavalry successfully evacuated, the price was that the friendly troops in the front had to bear all the attacks of the dwarves.

These are not the two legions yesterday, but five legions. Even though they were exhausted from the hasty march, the actual strength of four legions on the battlefield was equivalent to four legions, but for the [-] defenders in Larsen Town, this is a godsend. A lot of pressure.

The huge bed crossbow and trebuchet were launched, and with the bang, the huge boulders flew towards Larsen Town. The wooden tower collapsed instantly, and the low city wall of the town was smashed into two shallow holes. In the pit, the defenders felt the ground shaking, squatted down one after another, and put their shields on their heads.

The archers were still shooting arrows, but the rain of arrows could not stop the dwarves from advancing, and soon, hand-to-hand combat began.

The swords of the dwarves and the swords of the humans began to intersect. Several Golans who were eager to attack were carelessly cut by the swords of the dwarves. Some even had half of their necks broken and lay dying on the ground.

The dwarves rushed up to the town wall, which was only two meters high. The Golans rushed forward, and Lassen Town began to fall into a fierce tug-of-war. There was dripping blood everywhere, and countless intestines were spilled on the ground.

Wesert, who led the cavalry to withdraw temporarily, turned his head, and his mind froze, blood, knives and axes, battle cries, howls, and military drums
All kinds of voices resounded in his ears as if across a distance. Only then did he realize how much pressure his decision had put on the defenders.

The dwarves' offensive is fierce. As more and more dwarves occupy the city wall, the town of Larsen is in danger at this moment. Panic is spreading, and the dwarves are one step closer to conquering Golan.

Therefore, Wessett gritted his teeth and stopped focusing on the dwarves' siege equipment. He led the cavalry in a big circle, and had to make a dangerous move, ordering to launch a fearless attack towards the weak left flank of the dwarves. charge.

The Golan flag is flying high, and every Golan cavalry is aware of what the town of Larsen under their feet means. As the horn blew, the coach raised his sword, and the cavalry immediately straightened their spears, and their horseshoes shook the ground. shout:

"Distress cannot destroy Golan!"

Thousands of spears pointed directly at the black dwarf army, and the brave and fearless Golans were like thunder that pierced the long night, and bravely and fearlessly chiseled into the dwarf's weak left flank.

The sudden attack caused great confusion to the dwarves. The Golan cavalry charged in batches. One team broke away from the dwarf formation, and the other team launched a charge, making it impossible for the dwarves to organize an effective resistance.

The chaos expanded, and the dwarf's left wing collapsed under the charge. The defenders of Lassen Town also launched a counterattack in conjunction with the horn. As a last resort, the dwarf army began to retreat toward the previous position. At noon, the Golans bravely Under a fearless charge, Lassen Town was defended, but it became more dilapidated than before.

Breathing heavily, Wessett led the cavalry back to the town of Lassen. They were cheered by the defenders. The son of the earl reluctantly smiled. Only he knew how dangerous his actions were.

The battle in the morning made the cavalry exhausted for a while. They got off their horses one after another and leaned decadently against the corner of the wall. Their faces were covered with blood. There were enemies and their own. They counted how many unfortunate comrades there were. Died in the charge.

Under the city wall, the corpses of Golans and dwarves were piled up and exposed to the sun. Generally speaking, there were more corpses of dwarves.

Wesert saw the bragging Leah slowly climbed up to the top of the city. He was trembling with exhaustion, and the other cavalry also gathered on the top of the city, looking at the bloody battlefield.

The cavalrymen of Golan are so brave and fearless, even if death is close at hand, their will cannot be shaken. The wounds and blood not only cannot break them, but will make them stronger as they fight.

Under the scorching sun, Wesset heard Leah sigh:
"How many more of them do we have to bury before they understand that even if the whole world falls, they cannot destroy Golan."
