MTL - Medieval Empire Soldier-Chapter 210 Under the Siege of Duncan Castle

   "The stone throwing is coming!"

   "Quick, pay attention to evasion! Hurry up!"

Another boulder roared from the forest in the distance. The Cyclops had excellent eyesight. This monster could easily determine the most densely guarded positions on the city wall and the most vulnerable battlements, and deal a fatal blow: "Huh— !"

"Ah~~!" On the battlements, seven or eight archers and crossbowmen standing scattered were still hit by the stone throwing. in the inner building.

"Master Tugenheim, the threat of the Cyclops to us is too great, and a company has already been destroyed by it!" On the tower of the city wall, a white wolf knight hurriedly came to the commander: "The northeast section of the city wall requests withdrawal!" Descend the battlements and avoid the slings!"

   "Can't retreat, order them to stick to the city wall, even if all of them are killed, the city wall must not be surrendered to the Beastmen!" Von Tugenheim said in a cold voice with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

The adopted son of the Elector looked around, and as far as he could see in the distance, there was an army of beastmen rushing around, among which the black horned beast army occupied all of his sight, but those fragile offal were not what Tugenheim was worried about. Even the most ordinary swordsmen can withstand their attacks.

What really made von Tugenheim afraid were the teams of powerful horned beasts, more than a dozen doomsday bulls, centaurs, and chaos eggs. So far, relying on the powerful long-range output on the city wall, these The monsters do not pose a threat for the time being, but this is short-lived. Once the city walls fall and the city gates are opened, even the elite halberd soldiers of the Baron Draco are no match for these powerful monsters, while the walking knights and giant swordsmen It has little effect on monsters, Tugenheim can only arrange them on the city wall, so that they can exert the greatest melee damage and bravery.

"Damn Beastmen!" The iron gloves of the adopted son of the White Wolf Elector smashed on the battlements, and he directed towards the Winter Wolf Knight beside him: "Sir Armand, you lead a team of musketeers and two teams of swordsmen, Immediately go to support the northeast section of the city wall, and make sure to firmly control the city gate in our hands!"

   "Since Laeren rest assured that I will take full command of the army, then this defensive battle must be sustained until the end of his surprise attack!"

   "Obey!" Sir Armand didn't say much, he nodded with firm eyes, then turned and strode away.

   At the same time, on the outer city wall.

"Fight, fight!" Hundreds of people were running nervously on the city wall. More than 70 wood elf woodland guards occupied the entire city wall. Beasts and other high-threat chaotic war beasts fired every arrow, and hundreds of human crossbowmen and musketeers fired non-stop.

  The quiver after barrel was exhausted, and barrel after barrel of feathered arrows was brought in. Repeatedly, the dense arrow rain fired from the city effectively suppressed the attack speed of the beastmen.

The man-made tribe suffered tenacious resistance from the coalition forces. In the city, the mortar positions roared continuously, and those swaying and flying incendiary shells caused great casualties to the herd. The distance of more than 500 meters between the forest and the outer wall of Duncan Castle was already More than 300 horned beasts and chaos warhounds fell on the soil. Whenever a small number of horned beasts approached the city wall, the falling stones and trees on the battlements would start to attack.

  The beasts swarmed so densely that the human soldiers didn't need to observe the outside situation. The only thing they had to do was to throw the stones in their hands.

  Similarly, the Beastmen will never accept death obediently. A small number of Uglyhorn Archers pulled their short bows and continued to throw them towards the city wall, even though their

The roar of artillery, the salvo of muskets, and the sound of archers pulling bowstrings resounded throughout Duncan Castle and its surrounding areas. Wave after wave of Beastman armies attacked Duncan Castle without interruption, led by the strong Doomsday Bull. , Horrible monsters approached the city gate again and again, attacking the coalition defense line.

The disadvantage of the man-made tribe is the lack of siege weapons. In front of the 12-meter-high city wall of Duncan Castle, they can only rely on their own brute force to destroy the city gate bit by bit. A large number of claws and simple rope ladders are run to the battlements. The horned beast climbed up to the top of the city and attacked the crossbowmen and musketeers on the city wall, while the foot knights and giant swordsmen waiting on the city wall swung their battle axes and two-handed swords, and easily chopped down the bipedal beasts. Fell to the ground, the body thrown from the battlements.

Outside the city walls, the only Cyclops was injured by the cannon personally controlled by Bennick Sutsen. The clumsy and huge body is undoubtedly the best target, but the epidermis of the Cyclops is covered with thick cuticles, and the solid shells of the cannon are only temporary That repelled it, far from killing it.

  From nightfall to midnight, the entire Duncan Castle was filled with thick smoke on the two high walls facing the enemy, and the Beastmen and humans fell into a tragic tug of war.

The war lasted until midnight, when the evil moon Molesbury was full moon, the chaotic creations bathed in the blasphemous green light were fearless, they rushed wave after wave like lifeless, bathed in the dense Under the arrow feathers, he roared and shouted wildly, without any fatigue from the passage of time in the war.

On the contrary, the coalition soldiers were exhausted due to the lack of rest time and fighting at night. The wood elves and dwarves had high endurance physiques, and they could fight again after a short rest. Very tired, the firing frequency of muskets gradually decreased, and the reloading speed of crossbow bolts slowed down. Most of the officers' voices became hoarse due to continuous shouting, their lips were chapped, and the firepower of the city's pouring fire decreased, so that the horned beasts fought one after another. They attacked the city wall for the first time, but they were quickly wiped out by the infantry knights and halberd soldiers who came to support them.

Von Tugenheim led a small number of Eternal Knights and White Wolf Knights to rush around to help the front line. Whenever a Beastman broke through the city wall defense and roared wantonly, he and the foot knights would appear immediately, and the sword of the griffin fluttered. Cold light, relying on unparalleled strength to kill all the horned beasts rushing up the city wall.

  Once the battle is in full swing, the White Wolf Knights will howl like wolves. They sing the name of Urik to vent the anger of the wolf god, while the Eternal Knights are like a silent black whirlwind, crushing all the fury of the Beastmen.

"Hang on, warriors! They won't last long!" Von Tugenheim's Griffin sword arced out, beheading a twisted head of a big horned beast, and a large stream of filth sprayed out from the neck of the headless corpse. The blood fell to the top of the city, and four or five eternal knights around fought hard. The exquisite rune sword forged by the dwarf rune blacksmith swept left and right, and immediately cleared this small section of the city wall. Remove the blood stains on the face: "Don't stop! Soldiers! Squeeze strength from courage, anger is the best tonic! For the White Wolf God of War! For the Empire!"

"For the empire!" The soldiers on the city wall fought **** battles. They forced themselves to fight with perseverance. The blood-stained giant swordsmen longed for glory and fulfilled their oaths. Everyone knew that from the moment the battle started, They have no way out, and this battle must not fail.

  In the artillery position of the Sigma Church, several heavy cannons were overheated due to the continuous bombardment, and the hot metal heavy cannons would not be able to fire for a while.

   While the gunners were trying their best to cool down, taking advantage of the opportunity, Benic Sutsen took his apprentice Anna to the city wall and did his part: "Shoot!"

   More than 80 musketeers opened fire collectively under Sutsen's order, and the dense barrage wiped out the tide of Beastmen in front of their eyes.

   "Try this!" Anna, a trainee engineer standing behind the viewing angle of the tower, squinted her eyes. Her long gun aimed at a centaur leader standing far away from the city wall and pulled the trigger with her index finger. "Bang!"

"Roar..." In the next second, half of the horned head of the centaur leader, who was more than a hundred meters away from the city wall, was smashed by a silver bullet, and red and white scattered all over the ground. Before the centaur realized what happened, it roared , and then crashed down.

   "Mentor, mentor! Look, it was killed by my work!" Anna cheered with joy on her face. Finally, she finally made an excellent long gun with amazing power!

   This change caused the attention of many officers on the city wall.

   "Good job, my student!" Benic Sutsen never hesitated to encourage, his mustache flicked, and his long gun was also playing a huge role.

On a section of the city wall not far away, von Tugenheim also saw the scene where the leader of the centaur fell to the ground. Several centaurs around him who were throwing throwing axes were like frightened birds after seeing the leader dead. With the sound of gunfire, the group of centaurs fled back immediately.

   "That little girl..." The adoptive son of the White Wolf Elector who was covered in blood on the surface of the plate armor took a deep breath and exclaimed, "You are both brave and powerful!"

"It seems to be the female apprentice of the engineer of Barony Draco." Sir Armand stood beside him, watching the army of beastmen attacking again, his eyebrows frowned: "My lord, if we continue to fight like this, we can't hold on." How long did it take before the King of Four Horned Beasts realized the importance of siege weapons, and the Doomsday Bull and the Bighorn Beasts began to attack the city gates and gaps in the city wall, and it is only a matter of time before the outer defense line is breached!"

"I know, Armand, the soldiers are already exhausted. In order to defend the city wall, more than 160 people have been lost so far, but the casualties of the Beastmen are greater than expected, although their number is four times that of ours. , but their casualties are by no means less than seven times ours!" Von Tugenheim looked extremely serious: "The plan is step by step, and our advantages are also superimposed little by little!"

  The corpses everywhere on the plain outside Duncan Castle seem to confirm his words.

"Victory will belong to us in the end, and Laeren will succeed." Von Tugenheim heard the sound of horns sounding outside the city wall. He walked beside Armand and said in a low voice: "Order the soldiers to hold on for a while, Ser Armand, it is not time for the outer walls to be abandoned!"

"I understand."

On the city wall, foot knights and giant swordsmen drove the last group of horned beasts off the city wall. The cold evening wind blew, and the knights were wearing heavy armor. Even though their physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people, the knights couldn't bear it under the alternation of cold and heat, especially the physical exhaustion and mental pressure.

   "Humans... are tenacious, and the city walls... are difficult to break." Ungul, the four-horned beast king hidden in the forest, roared, raising his rusty and mottled serrated knife: "Order the Cyclops... the wooden door... to break open!"

   "Roar~ the herd, attack!!"

   "Boom dong dong~~~" Several horned beasts beat the human skin war drums, and the man-made tribe started another round of offensive!

   "Wow!" The frosty and stiff soil was trampled out of claw marks, and Firnos, the half-griffin, was running in the deep forest. Lyron, who was riding on his back, was driving his mount, and marched towards the forest north of Duncan Castle from the flank.

   Adrian, Hector, and more than a dozen eternal knights followed behind. White wolf knights are not good at doing this kind of thing.

Under the dark night, Olasif Piazza, the wood elf woodland lord, and two rangers rode stags and elf warhorses, galloping on both sides of the group, relying on the cover of bushes and trees, Proceed as quietly as possible, because of the siege battle not far away, all the beastmen in the forest followed the beast king Angour, and there were few situations along the way.

  Suddenly, Layron, who was running ahead, raised his hand, and he signaled the knights to stop. He stared coldly at the treetop dozens of steps away, and everyone immediately held their breath.

  The wood elves opened their bows and set their arrows. Obviously, they also found something along the line of sight of Laeren.

   "Quack~~" After a while, a flock of crows flew into the air, they flew around the treetops a few times, and then flew to other places.

   "It's the eyes and ears arranged by the screaming shaman. It seems that the beastmen are not completely on guard!" Olasif said in a low voice.

  Lai Lun let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and narrowed his eyes: "We are not far from the Demon Rock, and the screaming shaman's control of the crow is limited to the surrounding area of ​​the Demon Rock. Let's seize the opportunity!"

   "Obey!"

  Ten minutes later, everyone **** their horses, and led by Lailon along the sparse forest, they sneaked close to Wanmo Rock.

   This is a forest depression.

Not far away, in the Beastmen's camp full of filth and corruption, there are still more than 200 horned beasts and Chaos War Dogs inside. In addition, Laeren also saw three Chaos Eggs of Nurgle Beasts. Extreme creatures are covered with abscesses. They will rush into the crowd and explode themselves. With deadly diseases and venom, they will cause huge damage to the enemies of Chaos, and they will also endanger their allies when they explode violently.

"Our goal is very clear. Destroy the magic stone of Wanmo Rock and completely cut off the source of survival of the beastmen. Whether Duncan Castle can be defended depends entirely on the success of this operation!" How, we must complete the task!"

"clear!"

"Repeat the plan one last time. I, Adrian, and Hector each lead a small team to attack from three directions and disrupt the entire Wanmo Rock!" As he said, Lailon looked at the three wood elves : "And you, Esley, your task is to eliminate the high-threat enemies in the process of marching, especially the Chaos eggs!"

   "Well, we will!" The woodland lord Olasif also signaled the ranger to prepare for battle.

"start to act!"
