Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 67 Sixty-seven Night Attack! (superior)

The commander of the 14th Company of the White Wolf Knights, Krill Anluo, walked alone to the end of the ramp in front of the fortress. It was extremely difficult for the distant musket bullet to hit him. Twenty white wolf knights and more than thirty ranger knights followed behind him, and more than three hundred imperial soldiers stepped out from the deep forest.

Krill is wearing a dwarf mechanized plate armor, which is extra eye-catching in the sunlight in the forest, and the white wolf holy emblem symbolizing the wolf **** Yurik is shining. scriptures.

   He took off his kite helmet, revealing cold wolf eyes and long brown hair combed back. Krill put the white wolf warhammer on the ground, leaning on the handle of the hammer in both hands, and issued an ultimatum to the bandits.

"In the name of my lord Uric and the Earl of Draven, Captain of the 14th Company of the Knights of the White Wolf, the son of Earl Draven, the Baron of Bray, Claire Anro, is here to warn the bandits of the Wolf Bandit. We! I will give you 30 seconds generously, open the door and surrender immediately!" The white wolf knight's thick voice resounded through the deep forest, alarming a swarm of birds.

   "Hahaha~" The robbers of the wolf bandit group laughed, the bandit army sent by the empire was always so arrogant, and the ending was nothing but sacrifice.

   "Go back to your stable! Knight!"

   "FxxK sheep's Midden, come to your grandfather Love and die!"

   "We can guard the fort until we die of old age!"

   On the city walls and watchtowers, the bandits kept spewing filthy taunts, laughing loudly, ignoring the Imperial troops in front of the fortress.

   excrement, animal viscera, one or two gangsters even stood on the battlements and bare their lower bodies, expressing humiliation to the knights.

   The young ranger knights were already blushing, and they couldn't help but want to rush up to chop up the chops. The white wolf knights holding two-handed war hammers and tomahawks were also holding back their anger, waiting for the commander's order.

  The wolf thief group attaches great importance to the defense of the fortress, which can be seen from the gate.

The thick wooden door with rivet slats is impossible to break open in a short period of time only by the personal brute force of the captain of the white wolf knight, not to mention that the bandits behind the gate of the fort constantly thicken the wooden door, unless the knight commander of the legendary rank comes in person. , or he moved in a cannon.

   Creel's eyes became more and more gloomy, and the deadline he gave was ignored. The time passed by every minute and every second, and even louder shouts came one after another.

   "Milton!" He called his lieutenant.

   The latter understood, the stag knight drew out his saber and shouted: "Crossbowmen! Come forward!"

  In the deep forest, more than 150 people lined up and walked out in several rows, some wearing leather armor, some only equipped with a layer of cotton armor, different colors symbolizing different lords, longbows and hand crossbows are readily available.

The equipment of the crossbowmen of the Oak Village Army is eye-catching. They are all dwarf hand crossbows. They are lined with chain mail and covered with scales. The protection of the round iron helmet is far better than that of the archer's hat felt. Out of all the crossbowmen and two-thirds of the infantry, the blacksmith's water-forged armor was given priority for them to be fully equipped.

  Lyren's sergeant was eager to fight and had been training hard for months, just waiting for this day.

  The robbers on the city wall stopped talking nonsense. The robbers aimed their bows and crossbows at the approaching imperial soldiers, and the dwarf hand crossbow glowing with light made them feel threatened.

   "Finally give you a chance to choose! Either surrender or die!" The White Wolf Knight said righteously.

"Your Excellency White Wolf Knight Krill! I know your temper!" The voice of the bandit leader came from the wall of the fortress, and Bamogo looked at the White Wolf Knight with a playful look: "If you have the ability to take down my fortress! Never give us 'sinners' a second of respite!"

   "The white wolf knights under you are all elites! Let them charge! Hahaha~"

   "Those **** bastards!" The kingdom knight Nikas Francis drew his knight sword, and he asked Krill: "My baron, please allow me to lead the brave soldiers under my command to charge once!"

Krill stared coldly at the fortress of the Wolf Bandit Corps. After weighing his heart for a few seconds, he nodded and agreed: "Call fifty swordsmen and twenty ranger knights to test one round first, and strive to reach the gate, and the crossbowmen will meet. Provide you with remote cover."

   "Yes!" Nikas nodded, leading his levies and twenty foot ranger knights to form a shield formation and walk along the ramp towards the fort.

As the soldiers and knights gradually entered the range of the bandits, the bandits fired arrows frantically. On the fortress, forty or fifty bandits used javelins and longbows together, constantly pouring arrow feathers at the kingdom knights. The dense javelin thrown at the place has always been a powerful weapon against walking knights.

The narrow opening at the forefront of the narrow ramp only allows four people to stand side by side. The gravel and iron ridges along the way affect the speed of the imperial soldiers. The wooden shield in the swordsman's hand has limited defensive power. The screams continued, and six or seven people fell.

"Pensely formation! Don't leave a gap!" the kingdom knight Nikas shouted sharply, his shield was covered with crossbow bolts and javelins, the robbers first focused on the knights who pierced the plate armor, and a few muskets fired a sudden salvo from the gatehouse. Harvested the lives of two ranger knights.

   "Crossbowmen! Ready to shoot!"

   "Fire!"

The rugged slopes could not accommodate too many soldiers crowded together. Under the long-range threat of the fortress wall, nearly a hundred conscripted archers shot hurriedly. A round of arrow feathers was thrown far into the fortress. Affected by the battlements and trees, the hit rate was very high. Touching, but a few unlucky people were hit by the arrow.

The Oak Village crossbowmen equipped with dwarf hand crossbows are ready to go. The excellent range makes them stand behind. The characteristics of the crossbowmen company Captain Albert [Eye of the Hunt (Ambush detection probability +15%, range +10 long-range accuracy)] , making it easier to target robbers hiding behind battlements.

"Prepare!"

   "Fire!"

  Albert gave an order, and the sound of pulling the trigger was almost synchronous. Forty crossbow strings tensed in an instant, sharp crossbow bolts roared out like poisonous snakes, and half of the bandits near the gate tower fell down.

   The dwarf hand crossbow has a long crossbow arm, and its reloading speed is not as fast as that of a longbow or light crossbow, but it is more powerful. After more than ten seconds, the crossbowmen fired another salvo, ruthlessly taking away the cheap lives of the bandits.

  The ranger's archery is tricky, specifically shooting people in the face, and he placed three people in a row, suppressing the bandits with muskets.

   A group of white wolf knights couldn't help but glance at the crossbowmen in Oak Village, and there was a hint of surprise in Krill's eyes.

   Taking advantage of the drop in the long-range firepower pouring down the walls of the fortress, the kingdom knight Nikas led the ranger knights to speed up the charge, further narrowing the distance to the gate.

   "What are you doing! Counterattack! Counterattack! Throw all the falling rocks at me!" Seeing that the imperial army was about to rush up, the bandit leader Bamogo couldn't bear his impatience and threw the javelin violently.

Under the deterrence of the leader   , the robbers who were fooled by several rounds of salvos from the Oak Village army threw falling rocks and logs frantically, trying to hinder the ranger knights who were constantly advancing on the ramp.

  The gangsters knew that after the imperial army had breached the fort, they would never let them go easily, so they all tried to intercept them with all their might.

   The 50 imperial swordsmen and 20 ranger knights who rushed forward had lost nearly 30% of their numbers. The rolling stones and falling trees smashed into a group of people, and the steep slopes were covered with corpses.

Seeing that the firepower of the wolf thieves group was getting more and more intensive, the kingdom knight Nikas Francis knew that there was no hope of rushing forward. Every minute and every second, soldiers were sacrificed in vain. He picked up a javelin from the ground and violently Throwing to the top of the gatehouse was the only thing he could do.

He led the knights and knights under his command to forcibly advance a few steps. He was about twenty paces away from the gate of the fortress. A javelin that was thrown hit him between his waist and ribs, breaking a hole in the chain armor and almost knocking down the kingdom knight exist.

  Several ranger knights surrounded them to form a protective shield wall. Nikas reluctantly pulled out his javelin and shouted unwillingly, "Retreat the same way!"

  The bandits at the head of the city chased after them, and they retreated after paying a few more lives.

  The fortress of the Wolf Bandit Group gave a huge cheer, and the bandits cheered loudly that they once again defeated the imperial army that came to encircle and suppress them.

   "My baron." Holding the knight's sword in one hand and covering the injured waist with the other, the kingdom knight Nikas bowed his head deeply, ashamed of his failure.

The morale of the retreating imperial swordsmen was also low. Many ranger knights participated in the war for the first time, their faces were pale, and they did not realize that their arms were shaking.

   The Captain of the White Wolf Knight did not show any displeasure, he said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work, Nikas, go down and rest."

   Their heroic performance was also seen by Creel. Even if he personally led the White Wolf Knight to rush forward, the results that he could create were not proportional to the huge price he had to pay.

   At night, there is no starlight in the sky.

The imperial army to suppress the bandits has set up a camp in the forest. They will spend the night in the wild to confront the bandits of the wolf bandits. The darkness is illuminated by torches and bonfires like day. On the ramp leading to the bandit fortress, there are several more. corpse.

After the failed first charge of the soldiers led by the kingdom knight Nikas Francis, Kriel organized two more exploratory rushes, even with the long-range assistance of Oak Village crossbowmen and a large number of archers. The attack was repulsed without exception.

   Both sides have damaged each other, obviously the wolf thieves have less losses.

In one day, the imperial army suffered more than 40 casualties, and the casualties of ranger knights and archers were less than ten. Most of them were swordsmen or spear and shield soldiers who lacked defenses. , smashing into a dense crowd, the power is much greater than that of a bow and crossbow.

   Several camps housing the wounded soldiers made screams from time to time, further hitting the depressed morale.

   The rangers and knights looked very sad. They were not unable to sacrifice, but were afraid that they would not be able to die in battle. The knights did not die on horseback, but died inexplicably under the bow and javelin.

  While most of the Imperial soldiers fell asleep while tossing and turning, they hid in the tents outside the camp, but the Oak Village sergeants squatted in line according to the formation they were training.

  The White Wolf Knight Captain Krill took all the White Wolf Knights under his command. The knights' boards had not yet taken off, and they gathered with the Oak Village army.

  Krill was just informed of a night attack plan: "No wonder I haven't seen those dwarf warriors. So, this guy Laren is already prepared?"

"Lord Lallen sent a mysterious scout in advance, and we basically have all the details and weaknesses of the fortress of the Wolf Thieves Group." Gavin Clinton was wearing a black cloak and a black kite hat, looking like a Raven: "The only thing we have to do is wait for Lord Laren's signal."

   "What signal?"

   "I don't know, Lord Laren didn't say it."

   "He didn't say it?"

  Krill frowned and asked, "Are you going to break in directly from the gate of the fortress?"

"Yes."

Several Oak Village sergeants held the black cloak and handed it to the group of white wolf knights, while Kriel looked puzzled, Gavin explained: "This is also the black cloak prepared in advance, every soldier participating in the night attack will Yes, this one is yours, Lord Krill, just the right size for your shoulders."

  "." The White Wolf Knight Captain's cheeks twitched unnaturally, took the black cloak and put it on: ".Yeah, just right"

  The knight Laren, the wood elf Katarina, and the seven 'dwarfs' climbed the mountain behind the fortress of the Wolf Thieves Corps and quietly touched the foot of the mountain.

Laylen added eagle-eye magic to the seven dwarf warriors and himself, so that they could move freely in the dark night, and the wood elves had excellent vision in the night without the help of magic, and the thick vines tied around their waists ensured that everyone would not will fall.

   After climbing for a while, everyone turned to the bottom of the back mountain. Under the leadership of Katarina, the wood elf, humans, elves, and dwarves quietly bypassed the fortress wall along a path that was so hidden that it was almost impossible to find.

"Tall and sturdy stone walls, without heavy artillery bombardment, I am afraid that if you want to capture this fortress, you will have to pay multiple casualties." The kingdom knights looked at the front door of the fortress that was bright as day. The tower was almost full of bandits.

  Laylen was wearing a pitch-black cloak and hood, with dark silver rune plate armor under the cloak, and the Hammer of Heram bulging behind him: "Katarina, you have saved hundreds of lives indirectly."

   "Whatever you say, don't forget to agree to my terms." The wood elf glanced at him, and the woodland longbow behind her glowed faintly.

   "No problem." Laylen's eyes turned from the gate of the fort to a prominent building inside. Several bonfires around it made the building unusual. There were also several guard towers inside the fort.

"There should be the building where Bamogo, the bandit leader of the Wolf Bandit, lives. The one next to it should be the armory. When attacking during the day, the bandits still have muskets in their hands, so the armory is likely to hide a lot of black powder." Under Lun's careful observation, a plan emerged in his mind.

   "Brother dwarves, did you see that group of robbers patrolling around the gate?" The Kingdom Knight pointed in one direction.

   "Hmm! Mr. Lallen wants the dwarves to hack them to death? No problem! Wrap it on the dwarves!" Long-bearded rune blacksmith Langoni Stonehelm patted his chest and said.

"No, when they turn to the back of the left guard tower, I need the dwarves to quickly run to the fortress wall and pull the gate open. Katarina and I will try to make a big noise to cover you and attract the robbers' attention. "

   "This" Langone hesitated for a while, but he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, leave it to the dwarves!"

   Seven inconspicuous dwarves immediately approached the fortress wall, leaving only the wood elves and the kingdom knights.

When   Lyren turned around, he found Katarina's beautiful amber eyes staring at him, she said carefully, "We're going to make some big noise?"

  When the wood elf pronounced "we", his tone was deliberately increased.

   "Otherwise? Do you want me to rush down foolishly alone, and then foolishly be beaten to death by the crowd?" The kingdom knight raised his brows.

   Katarina chuckled inexplicably: "Will you be killed by these scumbags?"

   "Maybe." Lallen smiled silently: "I can't predict the future."

   His words seemed to have hit a certain memory in the Wood Elf's heart. Katarina stared into his sea-blue eyes and solemnly said in Elvish language: "Laylen, you will only die in my hands."

After   , she jumped and disappeared into the boundless darkness.

"what?"

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!
