Horseshoe stepping into the clear river beach. Splashing crystal clear white water, Appleton's First Knights Squadron lined up in a silver arc and stepped through the defense line along the Zuli River east of Fort Jerber,
The war horse roared, the knight's armor shone dazzlingly in the sun, the tip of the icy spear was dyed red by blood, and the thin Samar defense line had already broken down under several impacts, and it seemed to retreat into the low city wall of Djerpo
Broken spears and corpses lay all over the riverside, and the Ryrdian infantry followed behind the ranks of knights, advancing like a wall, the spears towering, and the shield walls like scales, as had been expected.
The outer defense line of Fort Gerbo, which was empty, was almost crushed in front of the main knights of Ruierdian, and these local troops of Samor, who desperately resisted, were very different from the regular army of Samor in terms of equipment and will to fight
The only thing that was not bad was courage, even in the face of the advance of the Rui Erdian heavy group, these local troops, who were similar to the peasant soldiers, still bravely formed a simple defensive line along the outer river
"A rabble. Vulnerable!" A sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of Upton's mouth, and he waved his hand, "Order the infantry to take the city wall, and I will hold a celebration banquet at Fort Jerber tonight!"
"Woo!
The three thousand Raldian hoplites advanced in three columns, shields in their hands, with firm steps, their cold faces flashing with bloodthirsty desire, and a sparse array of arrows from the city's head could not shake the array, and could only make a few crisp noises on the shields in vain
The city wall quickly approached, "The whole team attacked!" The captain of the infantry of Rui Erdian did not hesitate to shoot arrows from the opposite side, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted hard to the troops behind him, they are all the real elite of Rui Erdian, heavy armor and thick shields, heavy Mitsubishi spears can pierce the armor of any enemy, only the best of the second and third squadrons are eligible to be transferred to the first squadron of the subordinates
The speed of the first row of infantry accelerated, like a white giant * slapping on the thick city wall, and dozens of siege ladders quickly set up at the battlements.
"Kill!" the heavy infantry climbed up against the constant incoming arrows and spears that kept piercing from above, the heavy Mitsubishi spears in their hands tangled with the spears of the defenders at the battlements, and people kept howling and falling from the ladders
There were only 2,000 defenders of Djerbo Fort, and after the fat man occupied Djerbo Fort, he not only thickened the city walls on the original basis, but also increased a heavy ballista squadron.
Disadvantage in numbers. The wall defense line of the Samor army was constantly broken through by the Ruierdian people who swarmed up the city wall, and the white armor of the Ruierdian infantry poured more and more onto the city wall.
"Kill!" shouted the captain of the Ryordian infantry who led the charge, stabbed a shot into the abdomen of the Samor infantry, and rushed forward against the Samor infantry with all his strength.
At his feet lay more than a dozen indistinguishable corpses, blood converging into a blood congealed on the city wall, and the muddy and slippery feeling of stepping on it made people feel weird and terrifying
"Quick, quick, push the ballista up!" the Samor soldier shouted anxiously, and the eastern defense line of the city wall was torn open by the Ryordians, and more and more Ryordians were shouting and rushing up the gap,
"Bell!" the spears of the Samar army scrambled down the barrel
More than a dozen people worked together to push the heavy ballista from the passage of the city wall to the already precarious city wall defense line
"Collapse, collapse!" the dozen or so heavy ballistas at the head of the city let out a whistling roar, and a dense rain of black arrows covered the heads of the unprepared Ruierdian infantry like a pouring torrential rain.
"Ahh
The powerful crossbow bolts continued to pierce several Ruierdian soldiers, and a huge arrow was revealed from the back of the last person dripping with blood, and several soldiers looked at the "big killing weapon" that pierced their chests. Falling from the city with a face full of disbelief. ...,
"Bumping" the first row of Ryerdian infantry shields like clay pots hit by a heavy hammer, cracking from the inside out, the whole row of shield walls no thicker than thin pieces of paper before the powerful ballista pierced through,
Blood poured out from between the twisted shields and the broken armor of the infantry! The city wall, which was still crowded and dense just now, fell like straw harvested by a sickle
This terrifying attack power suffocated the momentum of the Rui Erdian infantry's attack, and the Rui Erdian infantry who had bravely rushed to the city wall just now retreated, and on the city wall, the bloody corpses of their companions were cut into several pieces by crossbow arrows, and the severed limbs and stumps could be seen everywhere, as if a bloody rain had just fallen from the city,
Scrap of flesh mixed with bright red blood dripped down from the battlements, and fell on the face of the pale soldier who was still climbing the wall below, "vomiting" A soldier felt a heat on his face, touched it with his hand, a bloody eye was still steaming, and he bent over and vomited in disgust.
The dead were terrible, but there were not a few who were not killed or injured, and hundreds of Ruierdian infantry wailed miserably on the head of the city with bloody wounds. Since it was a siege, he was ready to die, but such a tragic and terrible death still overwhelmed the nerves of the Rui Erdian infantry, and they were huddled together under the city in a panic
Appleton looked at the panicked infantry, decisively drew the knight's command sword, and shouted, "The squad that entered Jerber first was collectively promoted to the blood knight, and there was a retreat to the latter without permission!"
In Raldian, the knightly class was the absolute aristocratic class. The army commander must first be a knight, and the nobles must have the title of knight for promotion, but the source of the knight is very complicated, in addition to the king Xià and the lords around the country have the right to canonize their own knights, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the knights, the legion commanders around the country also have the right to canonize the soldiers who are outstanding in the battle as knights, and can serve as middle-level commanders, this kind of knight is called a blood knight, which is considered a disguised military reward.
Hearing that he could be promoted to knight! The morale of the low-spirited Rui Erdian infantry was greatly boosted, and under the leadership of the captain in front, they roared again and rushed up the city wall with their shields.
"Kill!" In order to buy time for the heavy crossbow to fill, the Samorian defenders, who were already small in number, were entangled with the Ruierdian army again, and both sides were red-eyed, and more and more Ruierdian people rushed to the battlements, spears and spears collided together, and the corpses continued to fall from the two sides that were fighting each other,
"Collapse, collapse!" The long-awaited heavy crossbow bowstring once again made a muffled sound of cloth and cotton tearing, and dense and powerful scattered crossbow arrows roared like a hurricane and swept over the people of Ruierdian,
There was a rapid crashing sound, and blood was pouring out. The shattered and twisted shield flew into the air,
This time, the Ryordian learned to be obedient, using shields and spears to form a dense array of spears on top of each other, and the crossbow arrows could no longer pass through after shattering the first two layers of shields.
The powerful crossbow bolts swept several crude and terrifying blood gullies in the dense array of the Ryordians, "Kill! Don't give the Samors time!"
Stepping over the corpses of his companions without hesitation, he rushed forward with his spears straight, and the numerical superiority quickly caused Samor's meager resistance to collapse, and without the protection of the city walls and strong crossbows, the Samar defenders could not compete with the regular infantry of Ryordian.
The few hundred remaining people were soon overwhelmed by the crowd of Raldian. The last of the Samour spearmen was pierced by three Ryordian spears, and he was held in the air by the combined forces of the Ryordians, his body twitching in mid-air, his feet trembling weakly, and blood gushed out of his mouth, eyes, and wounds, dripping to the ground, and turning into a pool of blood
"Shoot, shoot!" The thirty or so Samour crossbowmen guarding the arrow tower continued to shoot deadly crossbow arrows from a high place, and the Ryordian infantry who tried to rush to the arrow tower were shot to the ground.
The soldiers who occupied the city wall began to lay siege to this last stronghold, and the scalps of the densely packed enemies below were numb, and the crossbowmen drew their short swords at their waists after firing the last of their crossbow arrows,...,
"Come on, brothers!" the captain of the Samar crossbowman looked at his helpless subordinates, smashed the crossbow arrows in his hand into pieces on the wall, and walked firmly to the edge of the arrow tower, looked at his subordinates calmly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Don't let these Rui Dian dogs see jokes! We are all Samar warriors just like the spearmen who fight to the death!"
There was a crisp sound from under the arrow tower, the iron gate was forcibly smashed open by the Rui Erdian, and there was a sound of armor shaking from the corner of the corridor
"The glory of Samoor lives on forever!" shouted the captain of the Samour crossbowman, and jumped down from the arrow tower more than ten meters high.
"Ahh
The rest of the Ryle soldiers scattered in a panic like a hellish expression
The captain of the Samor crossbowmen lay on the ground, his mouth full of blood, half of his bloody ear spat out, and he shouted with a rebellious face, "Come on, coward!"
His body, covered in wounds, was still trying to get up, and his body was pierced by several spears, and blood shot out
A Samor crossbowman stood on the edge of the tower. Looking at the bloody corpse of the crossbowman captain below, he secretly cheered himself up, "Don't be afraid! I'm a Samar warrior!" He looked at the beautiful Jerbo Plain in the distance, the beautiful Satsuma Lijiang sparkling in the sun, the white pine and cypress swaying in the wind, and the green earth full of life
"Farewell! my hometown, my Djerbo!"
A black line suddenly appeared in the clear sky, piercing his eyes, and the distinctive red of the Samar Falcon Battle Banner was under the blue canopy. It is particularly conspicuous,
The spears were like a forest, and the black pressure swept like a dark cloud
"It's our people! it's our people!" the crossbowman suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to the sky,
"Woo!" the loud trumpet sounded outside the city, and the Rui Erdian army, which was still full of morale just now, appeared in a commotion, abandoned the city wall that had been fully occupied, and retreated in a panic
Appleton outside the city also found the rapidly approaching Samor reinforcements, and couldn't help but look pale, it has only been five days since the invasion, could it be that these Samorian troops have flown over?
