Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 381 Bloody Battle of Pidro City II

There were cheers in the city of Pidro, and the two attacks of the grass barbarian cavalry failed without even reaching the edge of the city wall. The corpses of the grass barbarian cavalry were all over the slope, and it is estimated that there were no fewer than five or six thousand corpses. And the cost of casualties for defeating the enemy twice was extremely slight. The first time only caused a dozen casualties, and the second time a few hapless guys accidentally injured themselves. They were all small wounds they bumped into. The guards of the guards and the 10,000 men who were enlisted had great confidence. They felt that these cavalry were nothing more than that, and there was nothing terrible about the number of them.

Ed Walker is not so optimistic, on the contrary he has been in fear. When the grassland under the dusk heard the sobbing horns of the expedition and the thrilling sound of war drums, and heard the "Huzhola" of the grass barbarian cavalry under the slope, Ed Walker knew that his most worried thing happened. Up. The cavalry has been enraged by the two failures. They are about to attack overnight. For the guards of the defense of Pidro, the most difficult moment is coming.

The first batch of cavalry pushed the log shield carts and quickly approached the city of Pedro, but with the light of the burning shield carts on the slope, the guards on the city of Pidro soon discovered the cavalry. Converging the corpses of their companions.

"My lord, they are lifting the corpse down. Do you think these rough guys will attack at night?" A guard next to him asked Ed Walker with hopeful eyes.

"Perhaps, I don't know their plan. It's still far away. Let's not shoot. If they just condense the corpse, then we will let them go. But maybe their purpose of constricting the corpse is to be able to attack better. , So we don't care too much." Ed Walker replied musingly.

The sky soon became completely dark, and those huge log shield cars turned into black shadows one by one, and then became one piece. The fire on the nearby burning shield cars was extinguished by the cavalry. Can't see what happened behind those dark shadows at all. The row of log shield cars not only blocked the fire from below the slope, but also blocked the sight of the guards on the wall

"Longbowman, lobbing a row of rockets, let's see what the **** are the rough guys doing?" Ed Walker ordered.

Dozens of feather arrows with flames drew a wonderful arc in the sky and fell. With the help of the faint light from these feather arrows, the guards on the city wall finally saw clearly what the enemy was doing.

"They are filling the hole!" a voice screamed.

"It seems that these rough guys want to attack the city overnight!" Ed Walker's heart sank. Under the cover of night, the enemy's actions made it difficult for the guards on the wall to cope as easily as during the day.

"One to ten steel crossbow, get the fire oil tank, tie it in front of the crossbow bolt, aim at those shield cars, and launch!"

"Longbowman, all get on the rocket, target shield car!"

Ed Walker gave two orders in succession. Soon ten small clay pots filled with kerosene were tied to the top of ten crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows with clay pots were fired and inserted into the log shield car. Although no cavalry was injured, the kerosene tank tied to the crossbow bolt was broken, and the kerosene was stained on the log shield car. As the rocket dropped from the sky, a log shield car ignited, followed by another

"Very good." Ed Walker was very satisfied with his inspiration: "One to ten steel crossbow, continue to tie the fire oil tank, aim at the shield car and launch, don't let the fire on the shield car that is already on fire go out. The rest. The steel crossbow, with the help of the fire, shoots freely, and the target is those enemies who fill the pit and put out the fire. The longbowman continues to lob and cover with the rocket!

Those cavalry who were filling the pit had discovered that the shield car was on fire. The cavalry who went to put out the fire were killed by a steel crossbow, so they separated the shield car that was on fire from the non-fired shield car, and raised the shield against the casualties. The falling rocket continued to fill the pit, and the speed was very fast, already approaching the distance of less than 100 meters from the city of Pidro. But they can do nothing anymore. All the log shield cars that can cover them have become a big bonfire, illuminating this area under the city like daylight.

These grass barbarians retreated for less than two hours, and there was another group of grass barbarians pushing log shield carts, but these grass barbarians all carried a bulging grass bag, which was supposed to be mud. With the help of those log shield carts, these savage cavalry threw the straw bags on their backs into the trenches and quickly filled out a channel.

The longbowmen have changed to direct shooting, and the steel crossbows are constantly firing, but there are too many enemies under the city, the night is dim, and the shooting effect is not very good. However, no matter how heavy the casualties were, the cavalry rushed forward. While filling the trenches, with the help of shield vehicles, shooting arrows towards the city. The guards on the walls also began to suffer casualties.

"Ah!" A guard soldier who was firing a steel crossbow screamed, and his right eye holding the middle arrow fell to the ground. His hands and feet twitched and quickly became frozen. The soldier who was winding up cried out with a mournful "brother", set up a steel crossbow and slammed the crossbow into the city.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" A gust of wind came, nearly a hundred feather arrows fell on the top of the city, more than a dozen reserve soldiers who were carrying crossbow arrows to rescue the wounded were like in a rainstorm, with more than a dozen feather arrows stuck in their bodies. On the head. They did not have the well-protected standard armor like the guards, and the feather arrows slinged from the city caused them a lot of casualties.

"Over there!" A guard soldier quickly discovered the place where the grass barbarian longbowmen gathered under the city. It was behind a burning shield car. Dozens of steel crossbows turned to the grass barbarian group. The longbowman launched a retaliatory counterattack.

"Huzhuola!" Another group of cavalry rushed up with a dozen log shield carts.

"Let the steel crossbow and longbowmen pay more attention to the grass barbarian archers shooting arrows under the city, and suppress them." Ed Walker gave an order that made him regretful.

The city wall of Pidro is six meters high, the gate is covered with iron sheet, and there is a large iron fence behind it. What if we let those grass barbarian cavalry get under the city? I want to break through the city gate with the weapon in my hand. So Ed Walker decided to deal with the grass-barbarian archers who throw arrows first, after all, it was them who threatened the guards now.

Unexpectedly, the savage cavalry who just rushed over were very agile and fast. They rushed to the bottom of the city wall in three or two, and then drew a lot of long ladders from the huge log shield cart, connected them and tied them up in the city. Over their heads, there were some grass-barbarian cavalry wielding a rope grappling hook, hooking up the jagged mouth of the city wall, and climbing up. There were even some grass-barbarian cavalry carrying a bag of pistols, carrying their anger and sticking the pistols in. Climb up the wall like a ladder

"The grass barbarians are up to the city!" A cry of exclamation shocked Ed Walker, but he turned around and saw several grass barbarians appeared on the top of the city, waving their weapons and yelling and fighting with the guards. .

Not far away from him, a grass man turned up the city head, a cold light flashed, and the steel crossbow archer who was aiming squatted with blood, and landed one head on the ground. The three assisting guards nearby had not recovered. Has been poked one by one by this rough man.

Ed Walker's eyes were cracked, and he drew his sword straight over and cut his head. The savage saw that Ed Walker's sword had no sword light, and thought that Ed Walker was just an ordinary guard, and the short sword in his left hand went up. Grid, the short sword in the right hand wipes Ed Walker’s throat like a snake

Unexpectedly, when Ed Walker's long sword and short sword struck each other, the sword light suddenly lit up. The grass was shocked, but it was too late. I watched the long sword flashing with the sword light and cut off his hand. The short sword, and then cut it down on his left shoulder

Kicked this grassy half-pulled corpse, and then with a sword, he smashed another grassy man who was about to top the city, grabbed a fire oil can next to him, and smashed it on the climbing ladder outside the city. He set up a torch and threw it down until the ladder ignited a raging fire. Ed Walker breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the messengers around him: "Hurry up and let the sword and shield brigade and the heavy armored spear brigade go up to the city, let the reserve soldiers Equipped with a spear and ready to respond"

It’s a pity that this order was given too late. More and more grass barbarian cavalry have climbed up the city wall. Five groups of steel crossbowmen can’t stop these fierce enemies. There is a lot of steel on the wall. The crossbow has stopped shooting, and there are more and more grass barbarian archers shooting up arrows under the city wall, causing great damage to the guards who are still fighting back on the city wall.

Ed Walker knew that he had done a stupid thing. Because the two-meter-wide city wall was equipped with steel crossbows, plus the longbowmen, and also reserved for the laborers to carry the crossbow and arrow, so there was no arrangement of the sword and shield brigade and The heavy armored pikemen went up to the city, and they were not able to attack the enemy in the city anyway, so they simply let them rest under the city. Unexpectedly, these rough guys climbed up the city wall so quickly that all guard soldiers were unexpected

"Retreat, retreat back to the tower, close the iron gate, cross-fire the barbarians on the wall from the tower, so that they can't go up and down" Ed Walker saw more and more cavalry on the wall, and hurriedly ordered Retreat to the tower.

After the city of Pidro was converted into a castle fortress, the front is a tower, protruding a large part of the city wall, and it is two meters higher than the city wall. At both ends are two towers connecting the city wall, and there are two corners of the city wall with a length of 100 meters on each side. tower. The function of the tower is to locate the stairs up and down the city wall, and to prevent the current situation. As long as the tower can be held firmly after the city wall is lost, the enemy who has occupied the city wall will still be unable to break the city.

Ed Walker grabbed the soldiers next to him: "Singh, you immediately organize fifty steel crossbows to the second wall to shoot at the enemy on this wall, go!"

The second city wall is two meters higher than the previous one, and fifty meters away. It is the last line of defense of the castle fortress. Only when the second city wall is breached can it be considered as a true capture of the castle fortress.

The soldier named Singh knew that the situation was urgent, so he saluted and hurried away without hesitation.

"You go too." Ed Walker said to the longbowmen upstairs. There were only a hundred longbowmen who withdrew to this side of the city through the tower. They had tried their best. Each of them shot no less than forty or fifty arrows. They only blamed too many enemies, waiting for their best to rest. , The enemy took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the steel crossbow was suppressing the grass barbarian longbowmen under the city. As a result, the grass barbarians attacked the wall. In the process of resisting, they sacrificed nearly a hundred people.

The fiercest battlefield now is under the four towers at both ends of the city wall. One tower has only six shooting windows in the direction of the city wall. It can only shoot six arrows at a time, which is of no avail to the grassy savage on the wall. The grass man who succeeded in occupying both sides of the city walls went crazy with excitement. They ignored the crossbow arrows shot from the tower, and they wanted to use their weapons to break through the iron gate between the tower and the city wall. The savage warriors with silver rank slashed down, and the iron door under the tower had been broken through a big hole, but before these savages had time to cheer for their success, they pierced like lightning from the tower. Four or five spears penetrated their chests.

In the tower, a dozen heavy armored spearmen from the guard battalion formed a circle, facing the door of the tower, they shot in and killed the grass man. But from time to time, the dying grassman made a final counterattack, causing damage to the heavy armored pikemen, and the wounded were replaced by the heavy armored pikemen behind.

At the entrance of the tower, corpses piled up into mountains, almost blocking the doorway, but there were more and more grassy people on the wall. They grabbed the corpses of the war dead and threw them directly from the wall. They rushed into the tower and turned themselves into a corpse waiting to be thrown down the wall

When the soldiers are used, they hate less. A heavy armored pikemen brigade has no more than 500 people, and each of the four towers has only more than 100 people. Soon these heavy armored pikemen died in battle, wounded and wounded, and the sword and shield brigade began. Filled up. However, the casualties of the sword and shield soldiers were greater than that of the heavy armored pikemen. Although they persisted for a longer period of time, they were soon invincible. Ed Walker had to order the reserves to fill in.

Although these reserve soldiers are strong laborers, they have not been trained at all, and they are not well equipped. More of them only hold a spear and rely on more people to resist the enemy's attack. They wear out faster, almost five or six. The casualties of only one reserve soldier can be replaced by another savage. This time, the corpses piled up like a mountain in the tower, and it was these reserve soldiers who died.

When these dead or wounded reserve soldiers were dragged out and transferred back, some of the reserve soldiers who were waiting for battle collapsed. They abandoned the weapons in their hands and screamed and ran around. Ed Walker had to order the only one under him. More than sixty members of the squadron of inverted shield soldiers, which had become an organization, became a law enforcement team. They dealt with nearly a hundred deserters on the spot, chopped off their heads and put them on spears to stop the riot~www.readwn.com~ When the four towers became the flesh-and-blood mills of the reserve soldiers, the steel crossbows and longbowmen on the second city wall were finally put in place. Their attack on the grass-man on the first city wall made the grass-man who thought that the city was in sight to be destroyed. It was a heavy blow. On the bare city wall, there is no log shield car for them to hide. After the arrows are hit by the blades of grass, it is like falling leaves falling down the city wall.

The corpses were piled up on the walls, and there was almost no place to go. The blood could fill the insteps, and crossbow arrows and feather arrows were inserted on the corpses. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if a neat grove had grown on the walls. The sky has begun to turn white, and finally there is no grass to climb the city wall. The grassland below the **** has heard the sad retreat horn, as if the sound of war drums that have been rang for a night has long since subsided, and the sunrise on the horizon is dazzling with blood red

The blood-stained Ed Walker stood up with difficulty supporting the city bricks, and looked up down the city, only to see the backs of a few grass barbarian cavalry retreating down the **** with their long bows on their backs.

The enemy finally withdrew their troops. We held Pidro City and Ed Walker let out a long sigh of relief, but the severe pain from the wound made him groan. This was the most dangerous moment last night. A dozen grass-barbarian warriors swung onto the tower with the help of ropes. Although Ed Walker and the guards fought them, they suffered heavy casualties. Even he himself was hit with three swords and one axe. Fortunately, it was not deadly. After bandaging, he could continue to command his subordinates to defend the castle.

"My lord, my lord, the reinforcements, the reinforcements are here." Singh, who commanded on the second wall, rushed up to the tower and supported the swaying Ed Walker: "It's the banner of Lord Farrea. The legionnaire finally rushed. Arrived"

Ed Walker suddenly wanted to laugh. He remembered a joke circulating in the family army that reinforcements always rushed to him after the battle and wanted to open his mouth to say something. When it went dark, he passed out.

To be continued.
