Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

"boom--!"

Cold raindrops fell on everyone's heads.Now it happens to be the rainy season, and the rain in Wild Wolf City will be continuous, and it is normal to rain.But at this time, the rain added gloom to the already depressing atmosphere.

"It's raining, it's unlucky." Sir Milan murmured.

Akkad said: "Yeah, you can't use incendiary bombs when it rains, which is very disadvantageous for the defender..."

At this time, another shell landed in the ditch below the city wall, the mud splashed like waves, the smoke and rain mixed together, and the smell was pungent and pungent.Obviously enemy weapons are not affected.

Leoric said at this time: "General, what do you think?"

The general does have the courage and courage to stand up to everyone's opinions, but he also has to weigh the pros and cons.The old man had never heard of such tactics as street fighting. He was thinking, racking his brains, because his decision was related to the lives of all people, and also related to the life and death of all people on the plateau.

The old man stood in the rain, and the rain made his hair stick to his forehead. General Akkad, who had fought all his life, had never encountered such a difficult situation.He raised his head, the rain was flowing down his thin chin, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be a big hand covering his head... The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the hand was getting closer and closer to him, covering him Eyes, pressed his throat.

The sound of cannons, rain, thunder, and the screams of soldiers...all the noises mixed together made the old man's head buzz.The golden lightning, the gray sky, and the dark smoke are intertwined, like the end of the world.He couldn't help thinking: ah, when the "Day of Shame" came 200 years ago, didn't my ancestors also hesitate like me?

At this time, the ancestor gave him the answer.

The "Giant Butcher" at the waist trembled. It was a holy relic that carried the soul fragments of the last emperor of the Northern Territory, "Tagothus".Arkad put his hand on it, feeling the weapon was heating up.

He was startled.

What are you longing for?

King of the North, what are you longing for?

Are you thirsting for the blood of your enemies?

The golden lightning split the sky like a sharp blade, "Boom!" The thunder was deafening.The thunder and lightning seemed to have struck General Akkad's soul, causing his old heart to beat vigorously again. His blood surged from his heart, filled his limbs, and rushed to the top of the sky. In an instant, all the confusion and hesitation disappeared. In the general's heart, there is only the determination to fight to the end.

Since it is a battle to the death, we must fight to the last drop of blood!

"Leoric!"

"exist!"

"I give you permission to fight in the streets," said the general.

Leoric quickly saluted and said, "Thank you, General!"

However, the general's second sentence made Leoric stunned.

"Street fighting is a tactic you proposed, so it's up to you to direct it."

"I command?" I'm just a centurion, who can I command?

Leoric originally wanted to let Shia take command in name, but the tactical design was done by him.Shia is the second in command, so her words should have more weight than him.

At this moment, the general said something that made everyone doubt their ears: "I will give you the command of Growen's iron cavalry regiment, Sir Milan's noble son regiment, and the wind travel regiment. Warlord Shia and her Your guards are also handed over to you."

Leoric was startled, and thought to himself: Three legions were given to me at once, and even the second-in-command, Shia, was under my control?Does the General mean...

At this time, Stahl of the Bloodspear Corps said loudly: "General, I don't doubt him, but Leoric is only a centurion now, it's inappropriate for you to let him command three legions directly..."

The old man roared: "I have fought all my life, and I know what to do. It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

"But he was too young," Audlow said.

General Akkad raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "Young? I became the commander of the regiment at the age of 17, the deputy general at the age of 19, and led the coalition to suppress the rebellion at the age of 21! Only strong but not weak, if I can take it, so can he!"

The general's words suppressed everyone's opinions.Leoric suddenly developed a sense of mission of "a great mission from heaven". He actually had a premonition that the general would train him to be his successor, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Suddenly, Leoric remembered something, his eyes widened in horror, and he asked, "General, what about you?"

Looking at his rusty scabbard and faded gloves, the general suddenly smiled and said, "Time is the wind, and people are the leaves."

"A leaf moves with the wind, but it dies away from the branch."

"I am a remnant of a previous era, and my soul will remain there."

"I will stick to the city wall until the last moment, giving you enough time to buy."

"General?" Leoric was stunned.

"What about you?" The old man's eyes swept over those regiment leaders who had made great contributions to him.

"The Warriors follow you forever!" Odlo shouted.

"Blood spear too!"

"Same goes for the hammer!"

"Hawkeye is always loyal!"

"God bless the warriors willing to bleed for you!"

……

The veterans and generals stayed on the walls.Leoric led Growin, Sir Milan, and Philip down the stairs.Another shell fell on the wall, but this time no one was shaken.

"Leoric!" The general's roar almost drowned out the roar of artillery fire.

"General?" Leoric turned his head, and saw the old man's white hair fluttering in the wind, but his eyes were piercing, like an old lion.

General Akkad said loudly: "If I die, you will be the new commander of the Northern Expedition!"

"Everyone, do you understand me!"

"General!"

All the regiment leaders knelt down one after another, and many of them were weeping.

Then, Akkad threw the "Giant Butcher" on his waist, and at this time he handed the sword to Leoric for the third time.

"After you use it up this time, you don't have to return it to me." The old man smiled.

Chapter 44: Two eras ahead

Leoric and others rode their horses to the streets of the city, where the three major armies, the Wind Flying Group, the Noble Children Corps, and the Iron Cavalry Group, gathered here, waiting for Leoric's instructions.

Leoric has a very clear understanding of street fighting.

In fact, street fighting in the age of cold weapons is an extremely stupid bad idea. Let’s put it this way, if street fighting can be useful, then why did there hardly exist street fighting in ancient times?Those famous generals in ancient times were not stupid.

Street fighting is a war mode based on hot weapons (seriously!), and it is the embodiment of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare in the city.To put it simply, it is to rely on the urban terrain to carry out various raids, outflanks, detours, and sneak attacks... and then rely on the effect of more than a dozen annihilation battles.

However, in the age of cold weapons, it is useless even if you sneak up on the enemy's back. If you were in Stalingrad, you could kill several Nazi devils with a single swing. The question is, how many people can you kill in Wolf City?Maybe someone will give you a knife as soon as you turn around.

Moreover, the morale, organization, and physical exertion of the soldiers are all big problems. Coupled with the existence of cavalry and infantry battle formations, street fighting is even more impossible.In short, street fighting is difficult and impossible to win. The simplest logic is: you can’t win even if you have a city wall, how can you win street fighting?This is a well-known truth-the wall is broken, and the war is over.

At this time, compared with city wall warfare, street warfare has only two advantages: first, it can catch the enemy by surprise, after all, people in this era don’t know about street warfare; second, it is to avoid being bombarded by the enemy’s cannons. .Unless the enemy brought cannons into the city, but Leoric estimated that the enemy would not dare. If the enemy dared to do that, he would dare to rush up and smash the cannons himself.

So Leoric had no choice but to choose street fighting. It was only a matter of time before the city walls were breached.Preparing in advance may still have a chance.

What's more, in the era of cold weapons, some people have won street battles.Qi Jiguang's battle against Japanese pirates can be regarded as a victory in street fighting. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, Chen Youliang and Lao Zhu's family fought for the world. When 60 troops attacked Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng also played an operation similar to street fighting after the city gate was broken. , Then 4 people withstood the attack of 60 people and held on to Hongdu for 85 days.

Leoric thought to himself: If there is history to prove that this method works, then this means that I have the possibility of success.I can reproduce Xiaoyaojin, but can't I do anything else?

The urban terrain planning of Wild Wolf City is relatively square. Right in front of it is the main road that is empty and the concierge is closed. The main road is divided into three streets connecting the blocks and small roads. At the end of the street is the central square, and after that is the lord The mansion, to the east of the lord's mansion is an artificial lake called "Wolf Lake", which is connected to the waterway outside.

Leoric calculated the terrain in his mind, and then ordered: "Fantasy!"

"Yes!" Philip responded loudly.

"Go to the warehouse quickly, and take out all the bows, crossbows, incendiary bombs, horses, wooden spikes, and nail boards! Heat the oil, fill the dung, water, and asphalt, and use this place as a city wall to guard! Let your people Enter the buildings on both sides of the town with crossbows, incendiary bombs and asphalt, put wooden boards between the windows of the buildings, break through the buildings, then block the doors on the first floor with sandbags, and send spearmen to guard them, and then you are in Fight guerrillas in these buildings. The troops are properly dispersed, and long-range weapons such as crossbows are used more. The general strategy is just one sentence: when the enemy advances, we retreat;

"Yes!" Philip became excited when he heard this tactic, his eyes gleaming.He is considered a geek in the army, always having a sudden whim and taking a slanted sword, but even he has never heard of such a tactic.He thought to himself: Since I can't think of it, the barbarian must not be able to think of it either!This battle is interesting.

"Recite that last sentence for me."

Philip rolled his eyes and said, "If the enemy advances, we will retreat; if the enemy retreats, we will pursue; if the enemy is stationed, we will harass; if the enemy is tired, we will attack!"

"Okay, don't forget." Leoric nodded in satisfaction.Fortunately, the crossbow bolts in Wild Wolf City are still sufficient, making up for the lack of some hot weapons.

"Iron Cavalry!"

"In!" Growin stepped forward.

Leoric said: "Let your people install horses, dig trenches, and lay nails on the main road and streets, and then move heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and trebuchets to the central lord's mansion, where the terrain is high. You can control the entire street. Remember, use the street as a city wall and the lord's mansion as a fortress! Oh, remember to hide [-] cavalry in the lord's courtyard. After the city wall is broken, you will take the cavalry to rescue General Akkad and others Commander, and let them take the 'Market Avenue' in the northwest."

"This..." Growen was taken aback by this unheard of tactic.

"Listen clearly!" Leoric yelled at the man 20 years older than him.

"Yes!" Growin replied loudly.

Leoric yelled again, "Warlord Shia!"

"Here!" Shia's voice was loud and clear.

Leoric said: "Arrange people to guard the lord's mansion. When I'm not around, your orders will prevail. Arrange people to control the bed crossbow and catapult. The goblin bed crossbow should be reserved to deal with giants. Don't take it out easily. Use. Organize another reserve team, and you can go wherever you need support.”

"Yes!"

"Three children!"

Gouzi stepped forward: "Here comes the boss!"

"You also join the reserve team and listen to Shia's orders."

"Yes!"

Leoric continued, "Mortride! You go..."

Brother Lu Bu had a question mark on his face, "???"

It was only then that Leoric realized that he was speaking in human language, which this idiot could not understand. He walked over and whispered in horse language: "You also go to the Lord's Court to appease the emotions of those mares and do ideological work. Let them run away when they see the fire. Also, if necessary, you should try to take Shia out of danger——I entrusted my woman to you, okay?"

Mo Tready snorted and said, "I'm a good horse with a lot of righteousness, don't worry!"

This idiot Mo Cuidi has the "dual nature of Lu Bu Guan Yu", I hope he can be the second master today.

At this time, Sir Milan, the only one who didn't get the task, said: "Sir, what about me?"

Leoric looked at him and saw Sir Milan pointing at his face, his expression was clearly saying: Brother, the dog and the horse are all lost, why don't you give me orders?Am I worse than an animal?

"Sir Milan!" cried Leoric.

"exist!"

"Your task is particularly critical! You have to collect large pieces of furniture, decorations, garbage, and all hard things from houses and shops, and move them to the street! No matter what method you use, you must do it. good!"

Sir Milan looked confused, is this also called a key task?

"Sir, what do you want this garbage for?"

"I'm building a barricade," Leoric replied.

Crow King, you are one era ahead, and I can only be two eras ahead.

……

An hour later, the barbarians approached the city.This time the battle was even worse than last time, and the plateau people's city walls were already crumbling.

The general held out his hand to catch the rain and said, "It's raining...it's not a good sign."

At this moment, the Blessed Warriors and the Warriors are crouching behind the city wall. Wherever the enemy comes, they will block them; the Hammers have prepared planks, stones, sandbags and sledgehammers, and are ready to attack at any time. Rushing to repair the city wall and fortifications; the Eagle Eye Regiment and the Blood Spear Regiment stood on the city wall together with the general, holding on to the city wall just like before;

Then the stones of the catapult flew towards the wall, and the barbarian army followed.

The infantry with heavy armor and shields is in front, and the spearmen are behind, and there are still many rushing vehicles in the formation.This time the barbarians didn't have many ladders, but there were more than a dozen rushing cars.The huge wooden cart framed a big log pendulum wrapped in iron sheet, covered with a wet cloth that was still dripping, and then many blindfolded strong animals pulled the cart forward.

The general's face darkened, and he thought to himself: If you kick the city wall now, it will drop scum, let alone resist these big guys!

It seems that the enemy is determined to destroy the city wall!

The general quickly ordered the catapults to shoot at each other in an attempt to destroy the rushing vehicles, but the catapults were too poorly aimed to focus on the target.So the general asked the catapult to be loaded with crushed flint and thrown into the crowd to injure the enemy to the greatest extent.However, when the stone fell into the crowd, it sank immediately, unable to stir up any splashes. The barbarians stepped on the corpses of their comrades and marched forward like a ruthless black wave.

Incendiary bombs, hot oil, crossbows, and catapults... Akkad took out all the things, but they were not enough to stop the footsteps of this army.Soon the barbarians approached the city, and at this time several green "swamp frogmen" climbed onto the rush car.These disgusting hybrid subspecies raised their green "Wurm Trombones," and they gasped for air, ballooning their chests.

"Om-!"

The frogman poured all his strength into the horn, and the sound was weird and piercing, like the scream of a devil.The soldiers on the city wall were all shocked by the sound, and inexplicable fear rose in their hearts.Then the car slammed into the city wall, "Boom!" The stone bricks under everyone's feet shook, and it felt like they were on a boat.

Akkad shouted: "Let it go!" The soldiers threw incendiary bombs and oil towards the city wall, but at this moment, a salvo of enemy trebuchets bombarded the city wall.The gravel splashed, the sand rose into the sky, the soldiers on the city wall prostrated themselves on the ground one after another, and some people subconsciously turned around and ran away.Someone kicked over the oil drum, and several incendiary bombs fell at people's feet... But both the fire on the wall and the fire under the wall were quickly extinguished by the rain.

Damn, if it wasn't for this heavy rain, maybe we could have lasted a little longer.

At this time, the car crashed into the city wall.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the bruised city wall finally couldn't hold it anymore, and a five-meter-wide hole appeared not far from Akkad's feet.Then many cars slammed into the city wall crazily, and the thick city wall was blasted open many holes in an instant. The soldiers poured the incendiary bombs and hot oil on the city wall. However, facing the black barbarian army, everything was in vain. up.
