Chapter 57: After all, it's not iron

Although to a certain extent, the Second Battle of Nottingham was more difficult than the First Battle of Nottingham in all respects, but in fact the Second Battle of Nottingham took less time than the first, and the addition of torsion trebuchets and longbowmen was one of the reasons for this result, and the change of wooden walls to stone walls was also one of the reasons, but the only thing that all the students of the Military Academy could not understand was that the 450 heavy sergeants would also be one of the reasons. And it's the most important reason. Of course, this is understandable, because for these academies who have entered the Age of Discovery, both in thought and life, only the pike, phalanx and arquebus are king, so they will never understand how much impact the war will have with more than 400 soldiers wearing full-body chain mail and half-body armor at that time.

17 meters high' On the Wailing Wall, when the orc light infantry and more than 500 orc wind raiders who dismounted and fought were assisted by siege ladders, they attacked the city wall one after another, they did not suffer from layers of resistance from double-edged axes and hook scythes like those orc warriors in the Nottingham Castle area, on the contrary, they did not suffer any damage after they rushed up, and the longbowmen who were originally standing on the edge of the city wall to carry out long-range strikes were also gone, which made these orcs very curious about what caused such a situation, but soon, in the next second, they knew what this was for。

"Throw!" A roar rang out, and dozens of orc warriors who had just climbed the city wall and had not yet reacted from the excitement were immediately attacked by javelins from the back of the city wall. The roaring javelin rain took a terrible toll on the orcs who climbed the city wall in an instant, and at least 30 or more orc corpses fell from the city wall with 4 or 5 javelins on each of them after the sudden javelin attack. The orcs who did not die directly in the rain of guns closed their eyes when they saw a low wall of red and black.

From the name, the heavy sergeant seems to be a spear sergeant with a layer of stronger, heavier armor, but how can it be so simple? Without the help of the system, it would take Sun Lin at least three quarters to train a spear sergeant to become a heavy sergeant, because these spear sergeants would not only have to adapt to agile combat under armor of more than 40 kilograms, but also be able to easily wield a 15-kilogram kite-shaped iron shield and a 10-kilogram iron spear in their hands. Therefore, before the appearance of full-body plate armor-level sword and shield warriors, only the walking feudal warriors who also wore half-body armor and heavy chain mail could beat these heavy armored soldiers who were like iron cans, and their strong defensive power combined with the stunt hedgehog array displayed could completely withstand the terrifying charge of the chain mail cavalry and even the feudal knights.

And how could such a strong class of troops be able to shake the soldiers in the group of orcs in front of them who couldn't even rank in the bottom line? The spear sergeant who lived through the first Battle of Nottingham was converted into a heavy sergeant who completely retained his previous 1-star rank. Heavy sergeants with a little higher stats are also much more flexible in teamwork than starless troops.

Under Bobby's personal guidance, when more than 200 orcs of the Foreign Legion threw the javelins in their hands out of the javelin (the javelins used by the scorpion crossbow were similar in size and appearance to the javelins used by the Roman legions in ancient Rome, and they could also be used to throw by the soldiers, so after Bobby saw the javelins that the engineers took away with the scorpion crossbow, he immediately ordered all the orcs present to equip them with this object and teach them a lesson after the orcs attacked the city wall), Hurriedly ordered 450 hoplite sergeants to line up in three rows on top of the narrow wall, while the auxiliary orc foreign legions guarded both sides of the contradictory wall, surrounding the flank security of the hoplites.

"Advance!" As soon as the hoarse roar was remembered, the 450 hoplites began to advance step by step with neat steps, their iron spears pressed against the side of the kite-shaped shield, waiting for the moment when they were stabbed out.

Although I don't understand what these human soldiers and those half-orc short people in front of them want to do, but these orcs who are naturally stunned hesitated for a few seconds, and found that there were more and more comrades around them, and they also mustered up the courage to carry stone axes and maces to rush forward, in their eyes, no one and that race are unable to resist the charge of powerful orc warriors, of course, this is also understandable, think about how can a zero-fat body with a height of more than 2 meters and muscles all over his body be blocked by these short people in front of him? Even if they wore a layer of iron that was harder than the weapons in their hands, it would be useless.

But unfortunately, the next reality is completely opposite to what the orcs imagined, when these orcs roared and rushed to the front of the heavy sergeant team, the originally smooth shield wall suddenly stretched out hundreds of iron spears that flashed with cold light, the sharp spear head stabbed into the orc's abdomen very easily, and after a short pause, it was withdrawn back into the shield wall, and none of the orcs who rushed up fell in front of the heavy sergeants one by one, but for such a record, the faces of these heavy sergeants did not reveal much excitement, because by this time they had turned all their attention to the orcs who had just climbed up the siege ladder.

For the tragic situation of their companions, the orcs who climbed up did not react much, because for them, the final destination of the orc warriors should be to die on the battlefield, not to be starved to death because of lack of food, so these dead orcs in front of them are glorious, if this war is a victory for the orcs, they will also transport the corpses of their comrades who can be collected back to the tribe and give them a good burial.

"Roar!" Of course, in the same way, the death of his comrades also aroused the blood of all the orc warriors in the vicinity. With an angry roar, the fearless orc warriors rushed to the heavily armed shield wall one after another, hoping to knock the broken wall open with brute force on their bodies

"Humph! What stupidity! How can a mere flesh and blood shatter a wall of steel? The hoplite sergeant continued to advance at an even speed, letting these green-skinned barbarians know how good we are! Let them know that this 'Wailing Wall' that makes the enemy cry and regret is a place where you can come if you don't want to come, and you can walk if you want! Now that you're here, let all these barbarians stay! ”
