Mount and Blade

The battle lasted for the whole morning. The soldiers on the city wall were exhausted and the corpses were piled up, but they still persisted. Only a hundred Barclay heavy infantrymen were still fighting desperately on the city wall, and their swords and shields flashed coldly in the sun.

The crossbowmen's arrows were also used up, and now they had to go to the armory to replace the simplest bows and arrows for shooting. The only advantage of Yaoyang Port was probably its high storage of weapons.

The eyes of the citizens revealed their worries. They were doing logistics work under the city wall, collecting the armor and weapons that had not yet been transformed so that they could be equipped with the subsequent militia and light infantry.

Even the veterans and sailors who often fought at sea stood at the forefront of the battlefield. Now only they could protect this long-standing homeland.

Due to its over-reliance on military forces at sea, the Snake Cult rarely had the opportunity to approach Yaoyang Port by sea, and siege was even more impossible under normal circumstances.

This resulted in Yaoyang Port having only three or so defenders in the city all year round, of which 500 were heavy-armored soldiers; the number of cavalry was scarce, with only 500 heavy-armored cavalry and light-armored cavalry combined; and about 1,000 light-armored infantry and militia.

Due to the lack of decent land combat experience, the Cobra Tyrant Desaro of the Snake Cult lured the previous city lord of Yaoyang Port, Murmudren Holibar, out of the city with just one move of pretending to retreat. The army of the Snake Cult took advantage of the terrain to ambush and instantly wiped out all the cavalry deployment and light-armored infantry of Yaoyang Port.

Even the city lord of Yaoyang Port, Murmudren Holibar, escaped under the desperate cover of the elite, but unfortunately he was still hit by several poisonous arrows and died.

The young eldest son is also the only male child of the city lord. At the age of 20, Aleris inherited his father's title and the throne of the city lord, and took on the responsibility of guarding Yaoyang Port.

For such a young man, this is undoubtedly a difficult task, but Aleris showed extraordinary talent and courage.

He led only 1,500 standing troops to resist the siege of 6,000 Snake Cult troops, thanks to his innate leadership ability, which brought together the strength of soldiers and civilians in the city.

Because civilians can also pick up crossbows and shoot enemies after simple training! !

The standing troops gathered on the sea one after another, and the scale of their defense is still quite impressive. It's a pity that the Snake Cult will not wait in vain. The siege team composed of Snake Cult warriors and rogue knights alone is enough to make Yaoyang Port, the new city lord, drink a pot.

At noon, the fighting on the battlefield stopped temporarily. The soldiers panted on the city wall, and their figures looked particularly tired under the scorching sun.

Even so, Aleris did not dare to stop for a moment. He ordered the people and all those who could work to take this opportunity to set up more traps and obstacles on the city walls to slow down the enemy's attack.

The seriously injured soldiers were immediately carried away on stretchers, and the women were busy cooking raw fish. They had to thank their city for being close to the sea. No matter how besieged it was, they relied on the strong navy and fishing industry to not be cut off from food sources.

The Snake Cult army attacked the fortress, in the tyrant's meeting tent.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the new kid to be so difficult to deal with! Hiss, Desaro, don't you have any better ideas?"

The voice of the giant python tyrant Ovos was so irritable that it could be heard even fifty yards away from the tent.

In the tent, three Snake Cult tyrants from the Alama continent were sitting around a rough wooden table, on which was a detailed map and sand table, on which the walls and surrounding terrain of Yaoyang Port were marked.

Ovos's golden vertical pupils flashed with angry flames. His fingers stabbed heavily on the map. He had had enough of Desaro's consumption tactics.

"...According to the scouts' report, Barclay's coalition forces are coming. If we still can't break through Yaoyang Port today, we must leave here."

Desaro stroked his hairless chin and thought about the battle situation. The Snake Worship Warriors and followers who were brainwashed and simply trained by the captured serfs have been almost consumed, and there are also those rogue knights.

If you want to quickly capture the city, you can only let the elites from the Snake Worship native attack. Obviously, the giant python tyrant Ovos, who has only force and muscles, is the best candidate.

Desaro looked at Ovos, and a cunning flashed in his deep green eyes. He knew that although Ovos was fierce, he was simple-minded and easily angered.

"...Hiss, Ovos, you are the strongest among us. If you can lead the elite troops to rush up the city wall, you will definitely be able to take down Yaoyang Port in one fell swoop!" Desaro deliberately said in an excited tone.

Ovos really fell into the trap. He raised his head and shouted loudly: "Okay! Then let me lead them to break through the defense line of this city!"

Ovos quickly walked out of the tent impatiently to summon the elite snake cult members who had just eaten lunch to prepare for the siege. In this way, only the Cobra Tyrant Bugita and the Viper Tyrant Desaro were left in the tent. The two smiled at each other in a tacit understanding.

The elite of the Snake Cult quickly assembled. With the order of Ovos, the elite troops of the Snake Cult rushed to the wall of Yaoyang Port like a tide. They had already become monsters. They were extremely brave and fearless, and they fought fiercely with the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers on the city wall resisted desperately, but as soon as the elite troops of the Snake Worship Cult climbed onto the city wall, they became extremely ferocious. Soldiers continued to fall, and the situation in Dazzling Port became visibly critical.

Led by the giant python tyrant Ovos, the outermost wall of Yaoyang Harbor was quickly breached. His figure was like a moving killing machine. Every time he waved the long-handled ax in his hand, several soldiers fell.

"Your Majesty the Duke, the city wall is about to fall. Withdraw the troops to the ship!! Please make a decision as soon as possible!" Urgent reports of insufficient manpower and visible defeats were constantly coming from the surrounding area, which made Alerys break into a cold sweat. He did not expect the Snake Cult. He always had a backup plan, which made him feel a little at a loss.

Aleris stood at the highest point of the cabinet fortress, his eyes firmly fixed on every corner of the battlefield. His heart was filled with anxiety, but there was no expression on his face. He had to stay calm and find a way to stop the enemy's attack.

"Let my people evacuate to the ship first, and all the strong men will immediately equip their weapons and gather in the fortress to live or die with Yaoyang Port!!"

Alerys took out the sword from his waist, closed the visor of his helmet, held the sun flag of the Holibar family in his left hand, and held the commander's sword in his right hand, shining under the sun.

"Woo-wu-wu-wu-"

A short and urgent horn sounded over the entire Yaoyang Port. Women and children ran towards the port in fear. The sailors dragged their tired bodies and unhealed bodies to guide the people onto the ship in an orderly manner.

The strong men had already put on their light armor neatly. Although they looked uneasy, at least they were prepared for the fate of falling with the city.
