Rise In Calradia

Chapter 228: : Port Fight

"Keep shooting, don't stop!"

Under the command of the sergeant, the engineers next to the ballista continued to load stone bullets and fired them at the Nord's long ship, which was approaching the dock. Within a short time, two ships sank and one was seriously injured. However, this did not prevent the Nord fleet from landing. The depth of the water near the pier could not trap the Nord sailors who were familiar with water, and the iron ropes that sank under the water were not pulled up in time to block the ships from docking.

Some ships stopped to rescue the sailors who fell into the water, but more long ships successfully landed and put down hundreds of Nord soldiers. Half of them were light infantry and hunters with poor equipment but high morale, while the remaining half were skilled light infantry mixed with enlisted pirates, dressed in chain armor and armed with tomahawks, and charged forward bravely and fearlessly. And the big ships floating on the sea are full of well-equipped and well-trained Nord warriors, guarding their Yar, ready to go ashore at any time.

The flag waved again, and the firing direction of the ballista changed. The stone bullets flew towards the Nord soldiers who were charging towards the town, and Nord's light infantry also raised their shields and dispersed to avoid the stones. These stone bullets are so powerful that a slight touch of the shield can smash the shield and break the arm of the person holding the shield. Four ballistas were fired at once, and almost ten people were injured. But before the ballista could fire the third round of stone bullets, the Nord hunters had already approached the bottom of the towers and shot dense arrows.

Two engineers in cotton armor were shot while loading the stone bullets. One fell on the tower and the other fell and was chopped into pieces by the Nord light infantry underneath. The rest of the engineers bowed in horror to avoid the arrows, and dropped the ballista. The crossbowman on the town wall also pulled the crossbowstring, trying to relieve the engineer on the tower. However, because of the long distance, only a few Nord hunters without a shield were shot, and the remaining crossbow bolts were either missed or blocked by the shield.

Afterwards, Nord’s skilled light infantry and pirates came to the forefront to form a shield wall to protect the poorly armored archers and light infantry, let them smash the gate of the tower and rush into the tower and the engineers. Start hand-to-hand combat. Those engineers usually receive combat training, but how can they be the opponents of those fierce Nords. The axe waved, and the blood stained the steps. The head of the engineer was abruptly torn from the body by the northerners and held high in the air.

The blood-covered pirates and light infantry laughed freely, climbed to the top of the tower, hung the corpses that had lost their heads on the tower, and then threw those heads like a ball. They will not waste these heads. The pirates will use a cauldron to boil the meat on their skulls on the ship, then knock on the top bones to make a wine glass and take them home as a trophy to show off. Although many people dislike this barbaric behavior, they enjoy it.

"These bastards!"

The sergeant looked at the dozen or so corpses hanging down from the tower, gritted his teeth and threw out the warhammer in his hand, as if a flame ignited in his eyes. The hammer hit the city wall, smashing a piece of rock debris. But the sergeant did not see that an invisible sledgehammer also slammed into the hearts of all the Swadia soldiers behind him at this time, shattering their confidence and courage.

Hank saw the flames igniting around the harbor, and also saw thousands of Nord fighters rushing to the coast, taking their siege hammers and long ladders that had been assembled on the ship, rushing towards their weak Line of defense.

A steady stream of crossbow arrows in the armory were sent to the wall. Soldiers, patrols, or temporarily armed townspeople and merchants all picked up the crossbow arrows and fired them at the Nord shield wall below.

Dozens of Nord light infantry fell on the way to charge. The skilled light infantry and pirates behind immediately dragged them to the back, arranged the second shield wall, and pushed the battering ram to the gate of the city to push the attack. The city mallet hit the gate.

The town itself was built to entertain merchant ships coming to the port. The city walls were built only to deal with pirates and were very short. The gate is also tall and spacious, making it easy for carriages to travel. In normal times, this is naturally beneficial to commercial circulation and urban development, but it becomes very fragile once faced with war.

The shield wall blocked most of the arrows, and the battering ram quickly knocked on the city gate, breaking the latch in a short while. A dozen Swadia militiamen put up wooden sticks behind the door and blocked the door with their bodies.

But how can the flesh and blood be able to withstand the impact of the battering ram, even if these militiamen used their strength to push the gate, the wooden sticks supported behind the gate continued to slide backwards, and the cracks on it became more and more, and they were on the verge of breaking. the edge of.

"Block the door, don't let..."

Before the voice of the sergeant fell, the sticks broke one after another. The soldiers guarding the door were repelled by the powerful impact. The few people standing at the back of the team fell directly to the ground and stood. There were also several deep axe marks on the body of the front militiamen.

Pirates wearing Nord helmets and skilled light infantry swarmed in, throwing axe and javelin together, knocking down an entire row of Swadia militiamen. The crossbowmen on the wall had to divert their sights behind them. The Nord soldiers under the city wall saw the arrow rain on the city wall weaken and laid down more long ladders. Before the battle at the front gate was over, dozens of Nord soldiers had already boarded the city wall.

"Protect the town and kill these Yankees!"

The sergeant raised his warhammer and rushed to the forefront with the infantry team behind him, entangled with the Nord pirates. Hank swallowed and spit, remembering what the sergeant had just said, and looked back at the colorful flags floating above the market, gathered up the courage to roar, and rushed to a pirate who had been squeezed out of the crowd and left alone.

He slashed across with the sword in both hands, but was blocked by the opponent's shield. Before he could retrieve the sword, the pirate slammed his face with the axe, and the bridge of his nose collapsed. Hank grunted in pain and took two steps back. The pirate also found out that his opponent's strength was not very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ grinned, rushed up with an axe, forced Hank to block with his sword, and retreated to the edge of the city wall. Then he kicked him down.

Hank fell from the wall and fell directly into the pile of Nords charging, hitting a Nord light infantry. Hank endured the pain in his chest, stood up and picked up the sword that fell beside him, and pierced it into the body of the Nord soldier under him, piercing his abdomen. When the other Nords around saw their companions killed, they rushed forward, chopped off Hank's hands and feet with an axe, chopped off his head and threw it out.

The blood-filled head rolled on the ground dozens of times, until it rolled under the flag with a red and black lion flag. His head slowly stopped, his eyes widened, staring at the banner.

The reinforcements never arrived. The sergeant fought until the last moment, watching his comrades fall one by one, the plate armor was chopped into several pieces, and the iron pieces were scattered on the ground, mixed with blood. It took him a long time to take his last breath, his head tilted, looking in the direction of Paravin. But until he completely lost consciousness, he did not see those knights wearing heavy armor and armed with lances...

The fire ignited by the Nords continued to burn, engulfing the entire town, as well as the beautiful colorful flags in the town fair.
