168. The Battle Begins
The serpent slaughter of Hubbard finally made Puda's insistence ineffective, because Sean had already rushed out of the ruin, and everyone else was looking at Puda.
In the end, Puda could only grit his teeth and accept Sean's arrangement, because it was true that no one knew Poda Town better than him. And since Hubbinder has already said that he will wash the entire Puda town in blood, then even if the entire militia group is lost, the other party must not be allowed to succeed, so Puda quickly led the people to set off - the Puda militia group had already been assembled before, except for those injured militiamen, almost all the militias who were still capable of fighting were there, and there were even many town residents who could participate in the battle.
These people were also completely enraged by Hubbind's bold words about the bloody town.
However, Puda couldn't get these people to go with him, so he distributed some spare weapons to the residents, and then asked them to go door-to-door to help, taking those with limited mobility to stay in the shelter that the town had built before, and giving them a mission to protect the rest of the town. From this point of view, Puda's command ability and adaptability are also good, otherwise it would not be possible to prepare for all battles so quickly, which is seen by Cecilia, and it is indeed something she needs to learn.
Soon, the whole town was already busy.
Puda, on the other hand, rushed to the gate of the town with nearly 400 militiamen. Fortunately, after seeing Hubbinder raise the butcher's knife to kill people before, the town's gate had been closed, and at this moment, the snake of Hubbinder outside the town was still shouting something, but it did not really attack, and the bloodshed finally did not break out completely.
At this point, I would like to thank the Serpent of Hubbard for what they did in the first place, if they hadn't built a stone wall, once the battle broke out at this moment, it would have been much easier for the other side to climb over the wall.
"How's it going?" When Puda arrives, he realizes that he doesn't see Sean, so he asks a man who is slightly older than him.
"More than a dozen people died. They were all intercepted before. This is ...... Blame me! The middle-aged man was already crying a little when he spoke, "I didn't expect this group of people who had lost their conscience to really start moving, and they were all dead, and now they are still talking...... He also said......"
"I know." Puda nodded, then climbed onto the roof of a nearby house, wanting to see outside.
But he got up. An arrow had already been shot at him, narrowly grazing the top of his head, and if the arrow had been lowered, it would not have been so simple. And this scene frightened the surrounding militia, and everyone began to shout for Puda to hurry down. But Puda gritted his teeth, but he resolutely climbed up, but his hands and feet became more neat, so the climbing speed was a little faster.
If Sean were here at the moment, he would have seen a slight glow emanating from Puda's body, which was obviously a characteristic of activating the commander's skill.
Lead by example!
Seeing this scene, all the militiamen felt a burst of heat and excitement, and their hands clenched their weapons tightened a little. It's the real desire to rush out of the cracks and fight those damned enemies fiercely.
Soon. Puda had already climbed onto the roof, and quickly ducked behind the chimney. More than a dozen arrows fell behind him, the most recent of which nearly pierced his calf. Then Puda quietly looked over, and he found that about two or three hundred meters outside the town, the Habinder Serpent had completely completed the assembly, and seemed to be forming a formation, and even cut down some trees, tied them together and put ropes, ready to be used as a battering ram, and the people who shot arrows at him just now were some soldiers of the Habinder Serpent in charge of reconnaissance, and the number was not much, only a dozen people.
With just one glance, Puda knew that even if the town's gate was closed, it couldn't be guarded.
Because of the militia itself, there are no sharp weapons such as bows and arrows, although a few people also have bows and arrows, but they are hunting bows of hunters in the city, and the effective shooting distance is only thirty or forty meters, and the tenacity of the bowstring is insufficient, and it is difficult to cause effective lethality.
But on the other hand, the other party's Hubbinder Serpent, although the scale is only more than 300 people, but the troops are very complete.
Heavy sword units with heavy swords are responsible for attacking tough battles, shield swordsmen with swords and shields are responsible for advancement, pikemen with spears are responsible for defensive counterattacks, and even long-range strike units with short bows. It can be said that in addition to the cavalry troops, there are several functions that a normal army should have, and Hubbind's Serpent has them, but the scale and number are a little smaller, which really responds to the sentence "Although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs".
Soon, the Serpent of Hubbinder had his forces regrouped and began to advance towards the town gate.
Without the slightest hesitation, Puda immediately went around the other side of the roof, landed on a balcony below, pushed open the window into the room, and came out of the front. Everyone looked at Puda, waiting for his order, at this moment Puda is the backbone of this militia group, as long as they see him, the entire militia group will be at ease, as for whether they will die here today, the militia don't care, because this is a battle for them to defend their homeland!
"How's the retreat of the townsfolk going?" Puda asked.
"There are a lot of people in the town, and it will take about half an hour to retreat into the shelter at the earliest." A middle-aged man spoke, "This is still the shortest time recorded during the drill, and according to the average situation, it will take at least forty to fifty minutes!" ”
"Everyone, immediately bring the cabinets and tables from the surrounding houses, and pile them up here!" As if he had made up his mind, Puda shouted, "Move faster, and the more we move, the better our chances of survival." …… The Snake of Harbinder, those rabbit cubs did not disperse their forces, and it is clear that they look down on us, so we will give them a stop here! Hold on for at least fifty minutes, and then we'll move on to street fighting! ”
Hearing Puda's order, all the militiamen quickly rushed into the nearby house, began to carry the cabinets, dining tables and other large furniture, and began to pile them up according to Puda's instructions, arranging them into obstacles. This is not used to stop the enemy's attack, but to resist the enemy's bow and arrow fire, the effective shooting distance of the short bow is only 100 meters, although it is stronger than the hunting bow, but the use of the bowstring is not a big string, so the penetration of the shot will be slightly lighter, at least these tables can block the arrows.
As for the rest, Puda couldn't think much about it, because his militiamen only had a normal spear. Although a few had hunting bows, there were not many arrows, and they were only wooden arrows sharpened from wood, not even a real arrow with an iron arrow.
But these are already all the weapons of the entire militia regiment!
When the furniture in the nearby house was moved, it was densely piled up at the entrance of the town, but it still looked like it was just a drop in the ocean, and it was impossible to completely block it.
Seeing this, Puda gritted his teeth and left a hundred militiamen here, while the others were divided into several teams, and a few of them, who also had some prestige, led the team, and scattered to various parts of the town, preparing to fight a street battle with each other. Of the 100 militiamen who remained, only 30 or so stayed behind these obstacles, while the other 50 or 60 took refuge in the surrounding houses and rushed out to support when the time came.
"Miss Cecilia, I'm going to trouble you in a moment." Puda said respectfully to Cecilia.
The identity of a magician is enough to make anyone's attitude very respectful, no matter how young the other party is.
"You're welcome, it's my obligation to help this town." Cecilia smiled slightly, and the eyes of the few militiamen who were peeking at Cecilia next to her widened, "Don't worry, Puda Town will definitely be able to defend it." ”
"Miss Cecilia, it's going to be very dangerous here, so you might as well hide in the house and seem to give us some support." Puda watched Cecilia hide under the tables of these cabinets like herself, and finally couldn't help but speak.
When had he ever seen a magician look like this, he had participated in two wars before, and none of those magicians were high-minded, they usually even sat in a carriage, and only when necessary would they get out of the carriage to perform a few spells. They even have a high degree of discretion, and if they find that the war is not going well, they can leave as soon as possible, or refuse to waste their magic, as Puda has seen in the last two wars.
So for Cecilia's actions, Puda is really a little flattered.
"No, Sean said, if the magician doesn't personally feel the situation on the front line of the battlefield, any combat experience is fake." Cecilia shook her head in refusal.
She knew very well that she was able to grow up so fast because of Sean's experience of being a miracle and finding death for magicians. But it was because she trusted Sean that Cecilia did not hesitate to do so, and these experiences proved to be invaluable, at least now Cecilia was more sensitive to the situation of battle than any other magician, something she had not learned in the academy before.
Puda wanted to say something, but seeing Cecilia's attitude so firm, he also kept silent, but in his heart he was really curious about the lord named Sean. Originally, he didn't see that lord here, and he thought that the other party must have found an excuse to run away, after all, what lord doesn't care for his life? But now, he had more expectations for the lord.
And at this moment, the Serpent of Hubbard's assault on the town of Puda finally began! (To be continued.) )
