The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 499 Burning the Mountain of Corpses

Zhang Qiang didn't know that a transaction had just been carried out not far away, and what he was planning now was still his battle with the Kujit.

Obviously he is at a disadvantage, military strength and hope, what is hope?
That is, when a city is surrounded, he has confidence in his heart, knowing that someone will come to rescue him. With this confidence, he will defend the city with peace of mind. In the case of a rescue, the morale of the soldiers will also be low.

Low morale directly affects combat effectiveness.

He doesn't know what's going on in Varicion. If he can attract all the Kugit troops, then his territory will be safe. According to his calculations, his military strength is only slightly lower than that of the opponent, although He is not as good as the opponent in terms of numbers, but in terms of elite level, he must not lose to the opponent in field battles. If he defends the city, it is simply a problem for the Kujit who are not good at siege but are good at field battles. Therefore, he is very calm now. All the soldiers knew that Zhang Qiang was very calm, and they also knew that there was a city blocking it. With the ability of the Kujit people, it was difficult to take down the city of Lana in a short time.

But Zhang Qiang knew that the opponent still had tens of thousands of troops besieging Fort Malague, and there were not many troops in Fort Malague. Even if some of them were attracted by him, the enemy's troops still had the upper hand.

Even if some lords attacked Varisian, the 7000 or so elite soldiers and [-] militiamen led by Varisian in the territory could resist the enemy, but there was still a huge disparity in the strength of Malagburg.

He had to find a way to bridge this disparity.

The best way is to break through the enemy's encirclement and severely injure the enemy, and gather and annihilate the troops under the enemy's Lana city.

Then head back to Malaga Castle.

Fatis ran up, "My lord, the enemy is attacking the city non-stop, and the militia troops suffered heavy casualties. Even if all the mercenaries in the city have fallen, they still cannot resist the enemy's attack. The enemy is already in several places. Corpses were piled up on slopes under the city wall, and the troops behind paved the road with planks, and now the enemy cavalry has run up the city wall, the situation on several walls is critical, and even our ordinary soldiers have joined the battle."

Chen Zhiqiang opened his eyes wide, and lost his voice: "The corpses are piled up on the mountain, and the planks are thrown on the road. How cruel is it to do it? Don't those NPC lords really care that their actions will cause opposition from ordinary citizens? ?”

Zhang Qiang knew something was wrong, and said to Fatis: "Send the order to the Earl of Sweden and Mamunboye to bring the elite to the city wall. The enemy must be driven off the city wall, and then the enemy's attack channel will be cleared. If it doesn't work, set fire to it." Burning the corpses must not allow the enemy to climb the city wall again."

"Yatiman, Bolcha." Zhang Qiang shouted down, and the two heroic knights who were guarding the entrance of the watchtower on the platform below the watchtower immediately ran up.

"Bolcha, go out of the city to investigate the deployment of the enemy's troops, find out the enemy's activity patterns and weaknesses, and come back and report to me." Zhang Qiang said to Bolcha.

"It's the lord." Borcha took the order and left.

"Yatiman, take Sebastian's simian knife cart, go up to the city wall, let the enemy face the crossbow and the blade at a loss, let the crossbow arrows wash the enemy's body, let the blade fired by the knife cart chew the enemy's body Let the enemy's blood scatter under the walls."

"It's the lord." Yatiman took Zhang Qiang's order to gather the manpower.

An hour and a half later, Zhang Qiang saw groups of elites wearing heavy armor running up the city wall, chopping up the enemy's horses, throwing them down the city wall, and driving the enemies who had attacked the city wall down. Many of the enemies had no time to climb down the ladder , I could only scream, facing the city wall more than ten meters high, I jumped suddenly and landed on the pile of corpses. If I was lucky, I would be disabled, and if I was unlucky, I would directly become a corpse.

Then a group of civilian men were driven to clean up the corpses on the city wall, and another group of civilian men poured boiling oil down the city wall, especially the corpses that could run up the city wall, were poured with oil, and then a torch , Throwing it over, the enemies still on the hillside ran down one after another, you squeezed me, I sprayed you, they became a mess, and finally turned into a pile of flames.

Lana City suddenly became brighter. Even at such a high place, Zhang Qiang could still smell the unpleasant smell from the charred corpse.

And the unreconciled cries and struggles before death.

Looking at the heavy armored infantrymen, crossbowmen, and archers standing on the city wall, Zhang Qiang thought, facing the raging fire just a few meters away, they must be suffering and have difficulty breathing.

Even if those soldiers retreated tens of meters because of the fire, there were no Kujit cavalry charging up that city wall.

He couldn't rush up at all, and rushed to the fire. Even if the knight was not afraid, the war horse would not agree.

This kind of cruelty made the Kujit people no longer dare to attack the city, and retreated one after another. Even if there were Kujit knights wandering around, hacking and killing, no one dared to rush under the city wall.

Zhang Qiang glanced at it, and said to Zhou Porridge Zhou and Chen Zhiqiang: "Let's go, it's midnight, go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Back in the lord's hall, Zhang Qiang listened to Earl Kless's report by himself.

"Your Excellency Earl Zhang Qiang, according to our statistics, about [-] enemy soldiers were eliminated, while our side suffered [-] civilian casualties, [-] mercenaries, [-] ordinary soldiers, [-] elite soldiers, and a dozen knights were injured."

Zhang Qiang held his chin and said to Earl Cress: "Your Excellency, what do you think we should do next? I don't want to stay in the city anymore and play offensive and defensive battles with the enemy. I want to attack."

Earl Cress said: "If it were me, I would have been fighting the enemy with the help of the city wall. The enemy can't take Lana City by force. Didn't we also take the city by sneaking into the city and cooperating from the inside out? ?”

Zhang Qiang thought for a while and said, "Then do you think it is possible for the enemy to attack the city through this method?"

Earl Kles said: "Of course I thought of this. I have sent additional people to patrol the city, and even sent to find a lot of old people, architects, and craftsmen in the city, and asked them about the tunnels and weak spots that they might enter the city. Soldiers were stationed everywhere, and many scouts and thieves were sent to play around the city to detect potential enemies who might be hostile to us. At present, everything is nip in the bud.”

"That is to say, if we defend the city, we have already achieved safety?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Earl Cress pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say. There is always a way to break through a strong city in ancient and modern China and abroad. I can't guarantee that I have achieved it. At least for now, it seems to be as strong as an iron barrel. If the enemy wants to It is impossible to take Lana City without paying a heavy price."

"Deng Dang Ding." Fatis walked in carrying a shield and epee.

He said to Zhang Qiang: "Master Earl, please give me a cavalry unit of the Kingdom of Swadia. I will definitely break through the enemy's camp and relieve Lana from being surrounded."

Earl Cress smiled and said, "Your Excellency Fatis, I know that you were the former cavalry captain of Suno. Your heroic deeds have been praised for a long time, but what we are facing is not an ordinary enemy, but Kujit who is also good at cavalry attacks. people, and they are strong."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile, "If I follow with infantry and Fatis' cavalry charge, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard."

Earl Kles said: "Your Excellency Earl Zhang Qiang, I don't agree with taking risks. I don't know how many soldiers you want to mobilize out of the city to fight back, but no matter whether we win or lose, we may cause insufficient guard soldiers to cope with the next enemy attack. .”

Fatis said: "Give me a thousand cavalry, even if it is not an elite, I can injure the enemy. Your Excellency the Earl only needs to follow up with the infantry. No matter how many troops the Kujit have, they are not enough for me to ravage. "
