Xiongying Cheng Battle (Part 2)
Chapter 111:Xiongying Cheng Battle (Part 2)
The first freemen who served as cannon fodder were unimpeded and had successfully climbed the slopes.
An angle formed with the slope, and the wooden fence pointed to the sky blocked their footsteps.The fence is not strictly blocked, but leaves a gap that can be crossed by the spear.When the attacker destroys the round wood, the garrison only needs to stand behind the fence and can use a spear to kill the opponent.
However, to the surprise of Prince Fran, those who were still standing on the wall were missing, and the entire periphery was currently unguarded.The first troops quickly cut off several gaps with a small axe, and after putting down a few logs, the people poured into the city.Soon, the wooden gate was also put down.
"Let's go," the duke shook the reins, leading the remaining troops toward the gate.From the beginning of the siege to the door was put down, less than two minutes, what the hell was Jiacia Wimbledon doing?Fran frowned, and those with a little combat experience knew that when they left the city, they had to leave behind a group of guards, or to hire bold people who were not afraid of death, to go to the city to block the enemy's offensive, and to buy time for the retreating troops as much as possible.
The Three Queens were not stupid people, otherwise it would not have been possible to turn the whole south to her so quickly.Why didn’t she arrange a group of men to defend the city wall?Strong defenses, dexterity traps, no one to operate, will only become dead.Prince Fran thought about it and decided to let the SS into the city first to investigate the situation.
The result of the return of the captain of the guard remained the same, and there were no resisters in the city, but some of the streets were indeed blocked by wood and masonry, and his men had already summoned the local people to clear the way.
Fran no longer hesitated, and led the remaining troops into Eagle City.He also counts himself as a veteran who has been fighting for many years with Wimbledon III, and can never be seduced by a little girl.It is Tifeko's progress in this step of the game is a mistake, if he can wait until he can take the city and pass directly through the city, he can save a lot of time.
Passing through the gate, the duke smelled a pungent smell, not of the rotting corpses that often appeared on the battlefield, but a mixture of pine oil, orange peel, and incense.If you take a deep breath, you even feel some fragrant.
What does this smell like?He looked around and found no unusual things.Instead, the ditch used for the drainage of the earth wall was blocked, and the sewage spread out of the channel and slowly flowed along the ground.The dirty accumulations did not know how long it had been, and the black paste reflected colorful lines of light under the sun.
Probably the smell of this pile of sewage, Fran shook her head and led the team toward the castle area.
Now that you’ve taken the Eagle City, you’ll naturally go around the Lord’s Castle and the City Hall to see if there’s anything to take away.Of course, the city may have been raided by Garcia, and the golden dragon may not be left behind, but some of the larger handicrafts and decorations are also very suitable for trophic.The truck he brought with him was cleaned up a little, and it was better to load the capture.As for the mercenaries, it is estimated that they were already heading towards the shops and farms.
Whatever it was, Duke Joey was dead anyway, and it was still a question of who would be the next successor.At this time, it is urgent to rob the city of a genius.
After visiting the Lords' Castle, Fran Cheritt found something wrong.
Space was in the castle, he thought, not just coins, but even the whole basement with no cloth and food left.Several places with murals, leaving only blank walls, no book in the bookcase, and even the large bed in the master bedroom was not flying, and the entire castle was as if it had been swept away.
Is this something that can be done in a hurry to retreat?Fran felt that it was not good that the castle could not have been so thoroughly poached if it had not been slowly moved these things from the beginning.
Just as he wanted to go to the town hall to see, there was suddenly a thick black smoke at the north gate.
“What happened, fire?”
"I don't know, monseigneur, I've called Moriel to see," said the captain of the guard; "perhaps the enemy was deliberately setting fire to the fire."
Yes, the prince thought of the first trap, too, but he soon realized that this method of sealing the door by fire was meaningless.First of all, it is not said that you can bypass the city gate and climb directly from the soil slope, that is, the light ignition, and if no one attacks indiscriminately, the organized team will soon be able to extinguish the fire source.
The correct use should be to set up troops in the city, until the fire is everywhere, while the enemy army panics to launch a raid, which can effectively disrupt the enemy's formation, and even force the opponent.As he said, no one operates the trap, but it is just a dead thing.
At this moment, black smoke also came to the other three doors, and the north gate could already see the fire, and the fire was expanding rapidly, as if it were piled with straw.There was a cry from civilians in the city, and it seemed that someone's house was being lit.
The duke thought that he had come in through the north gate, and that there was only a fire!But if there is no fire, how can the fire spread so fast?Wait...he suddenly flashed a year in his mind when Moficaria Wimbledon secretly recruited a witch?
Fran touched the stone of divine punishment hanging around his neck, and his heart was a little calmer.If it is a witch's fire, he can only go directly through, and the flame of the devil will not hurt him.And every member of the pro-army wears this thing, causing little threat.As for the free people who had no money to donate to the church, the duke could not take care of them at this time.
There were some evil in the city, and he decided to go out first.The army can camp at the South Gate, both to watch the Eagle City and receive the cavalry team that returns to the new king.At the thought of this, he ordered the commander of the guard: "We are out of town from the south, and you will blow the call number on the road and gather the ranks."
“Follow the orders!”
The crowd immediately opened, but when a group of people came to the south gate, they found that the flames had burned into the city, and the houses were ignited, and the heat wave that was pouring on them forced them to retreat.The people who had been hiding behind closed doors in the house were also running out at this moment, and the streets were full of people, and even the sword of the guard could not prevent them from fleeing into the open space that had not yet burned.For a time, everyone seemed to be caught in the sea of fire, surrounded by smoke and fire.
“Calm down!“Go to the well and put out the water,” Prince Fran quickly issued a series of orders, “the house doesn’t matter, just quench the burning obstacles in the streets and clear the way.”Don’t stop calling, let others know where we are!”
“The Duke!”A knight came from the center of the city, and did not wait to stop the horses, and the man had jumped from the horse's back, and it was the Moriel who had been sent by the captain of the guard to the north gate.“My lord, the fire at the north gate cannot be extinguished!”
“What do you say?”Frall asked in amazement, “Can’t I put out?”
“The flames burn on those black waters,” she said quickly, “not only will it not be quenched by the water, but it will flow along the water!”“My lord, the whole city is burning!”
“The fire of the fire...” he muttered, “yes, it looks like a demon’s fire.”Then the duke cried out, "Don't panic, this is the fire of evil spirits cast by Garciaia using evil witches!"As long as you wear the stone of God’s punishment, this flame seems terrible, but it cannot burn you!”
"So, may you be merciful," said Moriel, stroking her breast unconsciously, "what shall we do, my lord?"
“What is God’s punishment afraid of!“Everyone gets on horse, we rush over,” the duke waved, “and if these evil fires meet the stone, they will disappear without a trace!”He paused, "Molly, you take a group of people out first, and I'll stay here to close the people who follow."
“Yes!”The knight nodded, “Your excellency, take care.The others, watch out!”
Then she turned over her horse and rushed to the end of the burning street without hesitation.(Unfinished.
