Warhammer Throne
Chapter 154: , The siege of Ulsen
More than 18,000 people of the Middle Route Army began to return. Marquis Angsy and his deputy baron Pierre discussed the military situation. After the whole army of the Left Army was annihilated, this knightly war was actually doomed to a failed ending.
"After Adelaide's stupid defeat, our war has failed." The Marquis of Onchy said bitterly. He really wished Adelaide had already died.
"There is no way right now, we have to go back and support the castle of Ulsen, where there is a lot of military supplies and food for the army!" Baron Pierre was anxious, he said anxiously: "The castle of Ulsen only has a thousand guard With dozens of knights, they ca n’t hold on to the beastmen army for a long time. "
"Do you mean we march directly?" Marquis Onci thought for a moment, consulting Baron Pierre.
Baron Pierre nodded immediately: "We must be as soon as possible. The army has only seven days of food left. Without the supply of Yulsen, the soldiers will collapse once they have no food."
Marquis Anchor nodded his head and agreed that the food left by his army was not much. Before, they all depended on the supply of Yulsen Castle. Now they have lost the supply of food and grass. Once there is no food, even a powerful knight There is no strength to fight.
But the blond-eyed and blue-eyed marquis thought for a moment, then shook his head suddenly: "No, no, Pierre, you said, we can get this layer, can't the Beastmen think of it? Do you know what tactics I thought of?"
"The beastmen will besiege the castle of Ulsen, but they will not attack, but will allow Adelaide and his group of soldiers to tremble and panic in the tall castle, and then ... the beastmen are very It ’s possible to lay an ambush on our way back, beating us by surprise! "
Marquis Oncie graduated from the Knight Academy of Curona. He has a very good tactical attainment. He is sensitive to realize that if he wants to return to the castle of Ulsen as soon as possible, they want to get it, and the beastmen want to get it.
"Send a large number of scouts, we must first let us know if there is an ambush nearby!"
"Yes!" The knights answered loudly.
Sure enough, during the march for the next two days, relying on a large number of scout rangers to investigate at any cost, the scouts found ambush many times, and then the middle road army was able to move forward carefully. Embarked on a return journey.
The beastmaster "Blood Horn" Maras immediately realized that mankind had been prepared for ambush, so it changed its strategy and began to attack the castle of Ulsen with all its strength.
One by one, the beastmen gangs attacked the castle of Ulsen under the impetus of the beast king. The inferior beasts felled the forest and made a humble ladder. The Cyclops grabbed the stone and used the stone to suppress the serf archers on the tower.
Earl Adelaide hid anxiously inside the tower. Every scream outside and the sound of hard objects striking the Count collapsed alive. During the day's attack, the castle killed a dozen knights. More than two hundred serf soldiers.
Fortunately, the gate of the castle was strong enough, and the beastmen lacked powerful siege weapons. After today's strong attack, relying on the constant sacrifices and vows of death by the knights and soldiers, the beastmen dropped the dead body and retreated.
At night, humans need rest, and the beastmen don't, so the anxious Earl Adelaide immediately grabbed the magic newsletter: "My marquis, my marquis, this is the third night. What about good reinforcements? "
"The beastmen set a lot of ambushes on the march! We must move forward carefully, Adelaide, the beastmen should not attack you with all their strength." The voice of Marquis of Marquis Oncie came from the magic communication.
"No! The beastmen are attacking Youlson with all their strength, and they are attacking Youlson with all their strength!" Adelaide shouted frantically toward the magic communicator: "You hear, my marquis , That's the voice that I and my soldiers are resisting! "
Outside the watchtower came the roars of the beastmen and the sound of the boulders hitting the stone wall. Obviously, after a short rest, another beastmen's offensive was about to begin.
"What? Hey? Adelaide? Did you hear that? Hold on, hold on, we can get there in at most one day!" Marquis Onci immediately realized that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
The beastmen have given up ambushing them on the road, and turned to attack the castle.
So he immediately ordered the Middle Route Army to quickly pull out the camp and speed up to return to the Castle of Ulsen.
"Do you want to inform the Right Army to come to support?" Some knights asked.
"No, we're enough." Marquis Angsy is confident of the annihilation of the beastmen army. He doesn't want the holy knight and the third son of the Red Dragon Duke to share this credit, and the Right Army will count back. It will take several days for assistance.
Along the way, Count Adelaide's requests for assistance were received one after another, each time more critical than before, and the beastmen continued to attack the castle of Ulsson, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
At noon on September 13, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear, which is a rare good weather in the forest.
The situation of the Ulsen Castle has deteriorated extremely. The defenders have suffered more than half of the casualties. Only a small number of people are still stubbornly resisting. The arrow rain released from the city walls has been very sparse. , The beast people have come to the gate of the castle.
The siege hammer made of wood was hitting the gate, making a rumbling sound. Above the gate tower, the sergeants were directing the serfs to drop their arrows, and the horned beasts holding the siege hammers all fell down. However, more horned beasts rushed up. The siege hammer made of the trunk of the tree was very rudimentary, and the effect was not good. The gate was knocked and shaken, but there was no sign of breaking.
After continuous attacks, the beastmen also suffered heavy casualties, and the bodies were piled up near the castle, and even the gully was filled.
A doomed bull approached the beast king "Blood Horn" Marath, who was breathing heavily, and there was a lot of heat coming out of his nostrils: "City gate ... sturdy, wood ... fragile."
"We ... can't open ... the city gate." The Doom Bull said towards the Beastmaster.
"Waste ... Waste!" The Beastmaster screamed angrily, knowing that he was going to fight for time now, and the Cavaliers might appear at any time: "Give me ... attack again!"
"No longer ... can't open ... the city gate." Doom Bull continued.
"... Uh ... it's all waste." The Beastmaster pushed the Doom Bull away, and he grinned: "It's okay ... we have ... Grill."
Having said that, under the order of the Beastmaster, a five-meter-tall Cyclops came out of the Beastmen's team.
"Grill! Grill! Grill!" All the orcs shouted the name of the Cyclops. I saw a few beasts put a huge black stone in front of the Cyclops. The Cyclops Screaming a few times, then raised the boulder and stumbled toward the gate of the castle.
"Grill! Grill! Grill!"
The Count Adelaide in the castle outside the roar of the Orc was naturally heard. The sweaty Count hesitated again and again, picked up the magic messenger, and then touched a gem.
After being connected, before waiting for Marquis Anghi to speak, Earl Adelaide said in a heartbreaking voice: "My Marquis, the castle has reached its limit, and we have reached its limit. There are more than 300 living people left. "
"My marquis, my marquis, for the sake of the lady and the king, quickly reach out to the brothers! What about our reinforcements?"
There was a moment of silence in the communicator before the voice of Marquis Anghi was heard.
"We are already rushing to Ulson Castle at full speed, Count Adelaide, please hold on for the last thirty minutes, please hold on for the last thirty minutes, we will be there for you soon!"
Adelaide put down the magic messenger, and the gemstone was bleak. This was already the last gem of the castle, and it was the last chance to talk.
At the gate, Cyclops Greer held a black boulder in his hand and stumbled to the gate of the city.
"Grill! Grill! Grill!"
"Huh ah!" The Cyclops lifted the black boulder and put it on his head, then leaned against the impact force and slammed his head, then fainted with pain.
The city gate finally collapsed in the orcs' carnival.
…………
An hour later, Marquis Anghi finally led the army of cavaliers to the castle of Ulsen.
In the distance, the castle of Yulsen was still billowing with thick smoke. Numerous beastmen's bodies were scattered around the walls of the city, and the dirty blood stained the river.
"It seems that we are not late." The knights reached out and wiped their sweat. They had forcibly marched one day and one night. This army of more than 18,000 people finally rushed to the front of Yulsen Castle.
Even worse, the army's food is running low. In the four-day march, the Cavaliers Army now has only three days of food left.
The knightly army gradually approached Yulsen Castle, and the knights gradually smelled differently.
be quiet.
It is too quiet.
"The situation is not right. Assemble the army and prepare to fight!" Marquis Angsy also realized that something was wrong. He reached out and signaled that the army stopped moving, and then divided into several strands to stand by. "
"Adelaide?"
Some black figures appeared on the tower, and a round ball-like thing was dropped from the tower: "Your ... Earl ... Here you are!"
"what!"
"Give you ... all for you ... return humans ... to humans!" The trebuchet on the castle was violently turned on, and countless things like rubble were ejected from the castle towards Fly away with a knightly army.
"Concealed!" The knights still shouted for concealment, but those things flew quickly, they seemed very light, and there was not much damage even if they were hit.
"Ahhhhh!" When the "stones" fell in the crowd, many serfs couldn't help but uttered a horrified wailing, frightened back again and again.
It's a head! A lot of heads!
The head of a knight! The sergeant's head! The head of the serfs! There are even many heads of servants and women in the castle!
"Ahhhh!" Many heads were still bleeding, and their temporary fear and despair brought deep pressure to the serfs. Some serfs turned around and fled in fear. The entire army of cavaliers appeared for a while. Although the knights tried hard to suppress the fear of the serfs and encouraged their low morale, the serfs were still full of shaking. They did not believe the words of these knight masters.
Without the Holy Grail Knight, they were already terrified.
"Damn it!" Marquis Onci looked at the first level of Adelaide who had fallen in front of him. He knew that Yulsen Castle had fallen.
The main attack of the beastmen was also a great loss. The corpses around the castle were already full of the whole castle, so the marquis led the knightly army to trap the remaining beastmen in the castle.
In this way, the offensive and defensive side reversed.
More than 18,000 knightly troops were encamped around the castle of Ulsson. In order to prevent the beastmen from coming to support, the marquis arranged the army of the Principality of Connet as a reserve ambush in the periphery, and he himself led the knightly army Started to attack Yulsen Castle.
"Go forward! My soldiers! For ladies and kings! For Brittany!"
"For the lady and the king! For Breton!"
The first is the charge of the Serf Infantry Regiment. These serfs were prioritized by the knights to catch up on the battlefield. They shouted slogans and formed a dense front in the fierce eyes of the knights. Most serf infantry only wore leather armor. There is no shield.
The arrows on the city walls were raining down, and the badhorns shamelessly used a large number of the arrows that were seized. These city-defense instruments have become their possessions. Thousands of badhorns are densely arranged in the castle to destroy The serious castle tower brought great losses to the Cavaliers.
After the serf fell into pieces, the sergeants holding shields, wearing chain mails or breastplates then attacked, and then the dismounted knights. For this, the beastmasters of the beastmen had already been guarded, they took out the castle armory A large number of spears and flying axe suppressed the knights' attack through firepower.
Throughout the day, the Cavaliers had organized five waves of offensives. Although they entered the castle at the deepest time, they were repelled by the beastmen.
The knights suffered heavy casualties, and the beastmen dropped hundreds of corpses.
The terrain of the castle that occupies the top of the mountain has large fluctuations ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and there are rivers interspersed between them, and the continuous charge of the knights are all repelled. The military supplies ensure that the beastmen have enough arrows, and the knights have never been able to take advantage of it. Even if a few knights and sergeants can rush into the castle, the giant minotaur and the bighorn battle group can always harvest them one by one. .
From the noon fight to the sunset, it was the doomsday bull and four-armed bull devil that finally determined the battlefield situation. These terrifying large monster troops not only repelled the hordes of dismounted knights, but even killed the serf archers and knights who covered them. The army had to retreat.
The Marquis Angsy began to feel bad. He first scolded the serfs for their lowliness and cowardice, and then hoped for the night raid. The Marquis personally selected his elite to attack the castle in the dark.
Unfortunately, the orcs are better at night fighting than the knights. After the knightly army approached the castle, they were forced to retreat by a large number of arrows and javelins. The two sides fought until the dawn. The human and horse beasts that came out of the flanks gave the night attack human army With a fatal blow, the knights had to retreat again.
After a day of fighting, the beastmen lost more than two thousand, and the knightly army lost more than two hundred knights and more than three thousand serf soldiers.
The battle situation reached a stalemate. The knightly army surrounded the remaining seven thousand orc beastmen in a small area near the castle and the castle, but they could not be eliminated. The beastman army tried to break through under the command of the beast king. They all failed, so they made up their minds and waited for reinforcements.
Marquis Anghi knew that the orcs ’reinforcements must be on the road, and he was given little time, and the food left for him was scarce.
The army of cavaliers has two days of rations left!
