Chapter 501 Difficult game

For a moment, the entire northern city wall was filled with pain, and the screams made my scalp numb.

Shenwei Fortress is also equipped with a large number of long halberds. A large number of wooden poles were seized from the white man's arms warehouse, which is an important part of the long halberd. As long as the steel spear head and wooden spear body are combined, they can become weapons. After all, no matter how strong the white man is, he cannot use a full-metal long halberd with a length of more than four meters. The weight is too heavy. Not to mention waving, it is difficult to hold both hands.

Use special metal fasteners to tie and combine multiple spare wooden poles, and then use stripped white prisoners to penetrate from the top of the sharpened wooden poles. From the anus to the throat, they are fixed with metal spare parts. From a distance, it is easy to remind people of the scarecrow standing in the vast wheat fields.

Not all bloody benchmarks that are penetrated by the body will die at the first time. Many people just hang in the air and struggle. The blockage from the inside of the body, especially the throat to the chest, is so strong that they feel death and are even savoring death. The unprecedented fear firmly holds the brain, and there is no extra thought except for the extremely strong desire to survive.

The blood and the stench of feces were mixed together, and the city head and the wall surface were covered with shrill screams.

This is actually because of the negligence of the tyrant order. Too many executioners were used for demonstrations. There were no so many wooden poles on the front of the city wall on the north side of the fortress. The adjutant could only reduce the number of iron rods and hang it on the surface of the city wall with an iron hook, and the rest of the part was standing on the top of the city. From a distance, it looked like the most terrifying "corpse forest".

...

Night falls.

Duke Kalis did not rest. He stood in a position he thought was safe, and he also built a high platform with rocks and soil, mainly for the sake of easy observation.

A lot of things happened during the past day, allowing him to see the northern giant who was completely different from his imagination. Regardless of the advanced weapons or the control of the rhythm of the battle, the giant showed shocking wisdom.

Their shells actually explode!

Flamar did not lie, he was an honest and reliable person, so I helped him to heaven and hoped that the Holy Lord could give him a better position.

The Giant's artillery range exceeded that of the white products, which was frustrating and forced the Duke of Calis to modify the combat plan. However, at the same time, he also discovered the "weakness" of the Giant's artillery, which was that it could not adjust the shortest range, at least not attack the engineer troops located outside the city.

It must be admitted that the continuous sporadic shooting of giant artillery did cause trouble to fill the canyon. Both the speed and the project volume were forced to reduce. The worse giant's large-scale execution of prisoners of war on the fortress caused unprecedented psychological pressure to the Rhine engineers. Kalis even became angry at the prisoners of war. Why didn't you commit suicide as soon as the fortress was broken? What are the benefits of choosing to surrender? Anyway, it will be dead in the end, no difference.

By the time the sun sets, a gentle slope has appeared in the middle of the Grand Canyon. From the side, it looks more like a semi-ellipse with an arc circle downward, but the slope near the end of the Shenwei Fortress is steep and the inclination angle is at least fifty degrees.

The slope is only forty meters wide, or even shorter. This is still located in the north of the canyon. The steep slope on the south connected to the fortress is narrower, and the widest part is less than ten meters.

Gaspar fell to one knee before Calis, and the Duke stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the top of his soft and thick hair, whispering infinitely expectantly: "Don't let me down, the Lord and the King are watching you, they are all blessing you."

Feeling that the hand above his head had been removed, Gaspar slowly raised his head, and the torch in his attendant's hand illuminated the surroundings, allowing him and the duke to look at each other.

This is a young warrior and a confidant who has been following the Duke of Calis for many years.

There is one of the various genetic memory information retained through genes called "Special Forces". Because the development of science, technology and culture has not yet been achieved, the major kingdoms have not had a thorough understanding of special forces. But it can be confirmed that this is an army based on intensive training and with the most elite soldiers as the core. It is just a small number and will never be used easily until critical moments.

Duke Kalis has such an army in his hands. The three thousand soldiers are carefully selected and maintain the highest intensity of physical training every day. They are proficient in combat skills and use various cold weapons to the extreme. They are very skilled in controlling guns and light artillery, and their ammunition filling speed is more than twice that of ordinary soldiers. The time for others to fire one shot is enough for them to fire two or even three shots.

On the first day of the battle, all the heavy artillery of the Rhine Kingdom was destroyed. The remaining small-caliber cannons could not pose a threat to the fortress walls and it was difficult to play a role in the subsequent battle. In desperation, Kalis could only pin his hopes on the engineering soldiers filling the canyon... Fortunately, although the whites created a brutal corpse forest with bleeding and brutal corpse trees on the top of the city and the surface of the city wall, they numbed the nerves of the engineers to a certain extent, making it normal for them to "throw their companions' bodies into the canyon".

Under normal circumstances, Kalis would launch a surprise attack at least the next or third night. But he could not wait for the shelling, and the coalition messenger brought bad news from the north.

Flamar is right. The two "No. 3" at the same time are not the opponents of the northern giants at all. Although they performed well under the Dragon Lock Pass, they broke through the pass in one fell swoop and killed thousands of giants, their overly obvious weaknesses have been noticed by the giants and have developed targeted combat plans based on this.

It only takes a handful of fire to burn No. 6 to ashes. In contrast, Bishop Somsen's fantasy of being arrogant seems funny and ridiculous.

Kalis speculated that there should be different groups similar to those of the country within the giants. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why there is such a big difference between the Dragon Lock Pass defenders and the giant troops encountered by Flamar. Cold weapons and hot weapons, and their technology and power are far superior to their own muskets and cannons.

The Kingdom coalition has been defeated.

The vanguard army of the Kingdom of Porcelain was destroyed, and Viscount Monio was missing. Their main force suffered heavy losses in the encounter, with at least 200,000 people becoming prisoners, and soldiers with almost this number were killed in battle. Similarly, Marquis Elken, the commander of the Kingdom's main force, disappeared.

Kalis prefers to hear the news that Marquis Elken and Viscount Monio died in battle rather than being captured. Because there is too much evidence now that many things have lost control. The giants are not barbaric and ignorant as they imagine. The combat power and strategic thinking they show are simply shocking. Kalis even suspects that there is an outstanding commander in the giants, and that only in this way can everything be explained.

Unfortunately, they were speechless. Kalis had never been so eager to understand and master the giant language as he is now. For the first time, he placed the giant in the same position as himself, rather than being as lowly, humble, and garbage as before. He could step on it with just lifting his feet, so that they could never turn over.

The army of the Saxon Kingdom was also defeated. They were attacked by giant troops at night. Although the other side used the cold weapon army as the main force, they broke through the Saxon defense line. The reason was simple. It was raining heavily at that time, and all the muskets became fire sticks. Facing the giants like wolves and tigers, they were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. Moreover, the relationship between the Saxon King and the Holy See has not been good. They only received 20,000 quotas for potions. Under the impact of the army of more than 100,000 giants, the main force of the kingdom completely collapsed and could only flee south.

He received several secret letters in succession, and the one that Kalis valued the most was Bishop Somsen. In the letter, he still had the arrogance that never changed. He did not admit his failure, but ordered Kalis to "must capture the God-Western Fortress before the coalition forces arrived."

No matter how brave Carris is, he dare not secretly install spies within the Holy Church. Under the brilliance of the Holy Lord, the Pope's rule is extremely stable, and it is really impossible to spill water or needles. However, a large amount of gold coins can still play a role. He bribed Bishop Somsen's personal priest. Although that guy was not a close confidant who bowed to him, he could secretly pass on some confidential information.

For example, now, Kalis learned through a second secret letter that was no more than half an hour away: the main force of the Holy See has not been damaged yet, but it has actually been defeated. The coalition of the five kingdoms formed an integral part of the Holy See. Faced with the strong counterattack from the northern giants, even the kingdom of the Lord, with strong combat consciousness and combat effectiveness, was forced to change the direction of the march while the coalition forces retreated across the board and turned to the south.

It feels funny to say that the Dragon Lock Pass was originally a natural danger guarded by the northern giants, but now it has become an important reliance for the Kingdom Alliance to hope to block the giant's troops. Speaking of which, this is Kalis's credit. If he had not included the Dragon Lock Pass in the "new fortress" when he initially formulated a combat plan, and strongly required all countries to set up the Dragon Lock Pass to take the south as the basis for reconstruction after capturing the pass, the level would have been blown up with gunpowder like useless garbage.

At that time, no one believed that the northern giants had the power to fight back, and even Calis himself was shocked by the powerful combat power of "No. 6".

The Lock Dragon Pass Fortress reserves enough food and fodder for the Kingdom coalition to consume for two months. Especially when the main forces of the Viking Kingdom were completely destroyed and the main forces of the Porcelain Kingdom and the Saxon Kingdom were defeated, it means that the coalition forces retreating south could last longer, and the overall supply of logistics materials would not be less than three months.

Kalis has sent people to Loong Pass to request distribution of food and fodder. The giant occupied the Divine Power Fortress too fast, completely breaking the duke's fantasy. He has lost confidence in the quick battle and decisive decision, and now he only seeks peace of mind, hoping to open up the road to the south with an overwhelming advantage of troops.

Of course, everything in this world is not finalized, and many seemingly complex problems must be done before knowing whether they are feasible.

There is no moon tonight, and it is the best time for Gaspar to lead three thousand special forces to sneak into Shenwei Fortress secretly.

Behind them, Kalis prepared 30,000 elite Rhine warriors. Once Gasper succeeded, 30,000 troops rushed forward. Although the canyon passage formed by the engineers during the day was only twenty meters wide, as long as they coordinated front and back and continuously invested a large number of soldiers, they could form pressure from the north to face the giant defenders, thus transforming with their numerical advantage into a chance to win.

The special forces were not equipped with armor, and the 30,000 soldiers who were preparing to attack together were also not equipped for protection. Although it was late at night, metal collisions were very likely to wake up the sleeping giant. Once discovered, there was no trace of concealment.

The dark night covered Gaspar's black hair. Looking at his back as he led the soldiers away, a close servant walked to Kalis. He did not hide his vigilance and contempt in his eyes and whispered in a worry: "Sir, he is a black man. I think he should be sent to a supervising team and cannot completely believe him."

Gaspar was not a knight, nor had a knight. He was a black slave that Kalis bought from the arena in his early years. At that time, Gaspar fought against six other black men with a total of six people in his family. The Duke took a fancy to his extraordinary physique and skillful record. In addition, Kalis placed heavy bets on the duel with another nobleman at that time. When Gaspar's side was obviously at a disadvantage, the Duke arranged for his men in the front row of the seat to deliberately throw a pair of bows and arrows into the arena (the duel was forbidden to use long-range shooting weapons). Gaspar was closest at the time, so he picked up the bow and arrow and shot three opponents in a row, winning, and also won a lot of money for the Duke in disguise.

Next is the old-fashioned and bloody story. The man who threw down the bow and arrow escaped. The nobles who lost money wanted to take revenge, but did not dare to trouble Kalis, who was of high power, could only spread anger on Gaspar and others. He sent people to kill Gaspar's father and brother. When the Duke "sented people to support him after hearing the news, all Gaspar's family members died tragically, leaving him to rescue him by the Duke's guards.

Afterwards, the Duke found a logical and legal excuse and cut off the noble's head.

From then on, he got a loyal black man.

Of course, Calis knew what the guy next to him was thinking. It was nothing about superficial loyalty, it was purely jealousy.

He smiled faintly: "Everyone has his value, it depends on how to use it."

Over the years, the Duke bets on Gaspar with thousands of pounds. Although he doesn't like black people, it doesn't affect Gaspar's role in critical moments.

...

Everything went well.

Gaspar led three thousand special forces soldiers across the canyon and soon gathered under the wall at the southern end.

The walls all over the tortured were the best cover. Unlike those who had already died directly on wooden poles, the white prisoners of war who were hung on the surface of the city wall by iron chains shed too much blood. The physical pain and mental torture made them reach the verge of death. As many as thousands of people were moaning in pain, and they dragged the chains back and forth, shaking them back and forth, making a "rattle" metal collision.
