Chapter 76 Surrender(1/3)
Six hundred feet away from the city, three thousand long archers were neatly arranged in a phalanx. Perhaps deliberately to show contempt for Rockart and the others, the thirty thousand long archers slowly inserted their long arrows in front of themselves, very neatly. Yes, three rows of long arrows, each with sixty arrows. The white feathers at the tail of the arrows trembled gently in the morning breeze, just like a white reed swamp, light and elegant but with a strange murderous aura. The 30,000 long archers were all in good spirits. They had just had a good sleep and had a warm meal in the morning. It was the time of day when their spirits and physical strength reached their peak.
Lei stood a hundred feet behind the longbow formation. Next to him was a dense siege army of 20,000 people. The soldiers were armed with shields, steel knives, hooks, ladder soldiers, etc. mixed among them. . Squinting his eyes and looking at the sun that had just emerged in the east, like an egg yolk, Lei sighed softly: "Have that guy Sauter and his younger brother been captured?"
Jerry held a silver-white spear and nodded slightly when he heard this and said: "Yes, we captured a total of 6,793 of their archers. I know you covet them. Haha, I won't argue with you. However, when you return to the Imperial Capital, you have to invite me to drink with the Pink Fairy for three days... You can't make them obey you, right? Hmm? Those guys are loyal to their three marshals, unless you can make Rockart They surrendered to you."
Jerry looked at Lei with a bit of gloating: "Seeing so many archers who can be said to be the most elite in the mainland, but there is no way to conquer them, Lei, you must be itching in your heart, right?...Oh, you are so careful. Tell someone to set up an ambush to catch those archers, and everyone in the world will know what you want to do."
Lei took a deep breath and glanced at Jerry: "Damn, you're happy, aren't you? I'm too lazy to tell you more. Anyway, I don't believe how long Salt and the other two brothers can hold on with me. Ha, look at my first Let's attack the city in one wave. Get ready. Your men will come in the second wave. Tell brothers to be careful. There are not too many enemy soldiers in the city, not too few. Try not to increase casualties unnecessarily. I want them Conquer this city wall with minimal losses."
Lomat laughed in a low voice: "Sir, you have to reduce losses, and you also want every brother to get a chance to play. This is too difficult to handle. Ha, with our army of more than 700,000, it is estimated that as long as we go up A dozen batches of brothers are enough to kill them, but their defenders are too few."
Lei's eyes bulged for a while, then he said: "Don't be wordy, give me the order and get ready to take action. I want to see how capable Rokart and the others are in defending this city."
Karub laughed. He looked at the Yunwu City, which was built on the cliff and was no more than seven or eight miles long. He looked at its city wall, which was only about twenty feet high. He raised it up and said: "Brothers, prepare to attack."
The 20,000 siege army let out a shout and rushed forward in fifty long formations. The 30,000 longbowmen opened their longbows at the same time and threw them diagonally at the wall of Yunwu City. The first wave of arrow rain came out. A mass of black arrows shot up into the sky with a 'clatter', like a group of cheerful elves. They chanted a unique 'whoosh' sound, and when they reached the limit of their ability to fly, After reaching the highest point, I fell down again cheering.
Thirty thousand specially made long arrows covered the entire wall of Cloud and Mist Castle. Countless coalition soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. More arrows fell into the city. The simple houses near the city wall could not stop this possession. Arrows with powerful penetrating power pierced the roofs one after another. The wounded coalition soldiers resting inside suddenly let out a shrill howl, as if they were nailed to the ground like meat breasts. The blood instantly dyed the entire Yunwu City red. .
The 'God of Slaughter' in Inger's hand swayed out countless blue light threads like petals, covering a twenty-foot radius. Once the arrows that fell one after another came close to these blue light threads, they were immediately cut into The harmless fragments slowly fell to the ground. Under the protection of Inger, Rockart and Beamon could easily stand on the city wall and command the defense without having to take action.
Behemoth watched the longbowmen pull the bow strings again, and another batch of arrows shot through the air. He couldn't help but let out an angry roar: "These hateful Vante people, they are bullying us because we have no bows and arrows that can compete with us." Hands... Damn it, Rockart, why don't you stock up on more bows and arrows here? Can't we just let them be arrogant?" Beamon couldn't help but wonder when he saw the coalition soldiers behind the city wall working hard to get back to the city wall. Become anxious.
Rocart's face was as ugly as it could be: "No matter how many bows and arrows I reserve, I can't fight against their long bows. Damn the Vands... Brothers, be careful and pay attention." The sound of the second wave of arrows breaking through the air was clearly audible.
The more than 3,000 coalition soldiers who had just been added to the city wall howled again. The cowhide shields in their hands could not withstand this terrifying weapon from high altitude. Those arrows directly broke through their shields and easily penetrated. After passing through their bodies, they were nailed to the city wall, and streams of blood flowed out again. The top of the city wall was full of dead bodies and wounded soldiers.
Before the infantry of the Mad Dragon Army arrived to attack the city, the longbowmen shot five-wavelength arrows, and more than 10,000 coalition soldiers fell on the city wall. If Jerry hadn't stopped the longbowmen's attack, they would have continued. Throwing the arrows. Looking at Lei with a proud look on his face, Jerry sighed: "Damn it, 150,000 special long arrows. Those arrows can be recycled, but those arrow shafts are broken. It's useless. Well, the cost of making three long arrows is one silver coin, fifty thousand silver coins, which is five thousand gold coins. Damn it, Lei, your captain of archers is shooting gold."
Lei laughed, shook his head and said: "Five thousand gold coins, but do you think how many enemies have been killed? At least five or six thousand people, right? If we rely on infantry to kill so many enemies, at least two of us will die in battle." What’s the pension for one thousand people, two thousand people? Idiot Jerry, you have to calculate this account clearly.”
Jerry's expression suddenly became very weird. Was he called a fool by Lei, a gorilla? Oh my god, was he really a fool? Jerry said angrily: "Am I a fool? Ray, your brain Why don't you move? If your longbowmen shoot them all to death, how can we do siege training? Move them back, and they are strictly prohibited from taking action in the next few days, otherwise they will take turns shooting down like this, Yunwu The city’s defenders can’t hold on much longer.”
Lei smiled and snapped his fingers, and the three longbowmen of the phalanx of 30,000 people immediately lined up neatly and retreated towards the camp behind. Lei said with a smile: "This is because their city defense is too weak.
, if they didn’t have slings and repeating crossbows for city defense, I wouldn’t use them like this. Haha, there are no magicians in the Principality Alliance, which is also our luck, otherwise how could I dare to let them stand so close?
...Hey, Jerry, I know you are jealous, you think my longbowmen are too powerful."
Jerry secretly made an extremely vulgar gesture. He didn't want to show his rude side in front of the many knights present. He hummed and said: "Don't be too proud, let's see how long they can last. I'm afraid
Your first wave of troops will capture the city, but then we will be in trouble."
Lei's face looked a little ugly as he looked at the 20,000 mad dragon warriors he had sent. They had already rushed up to the city wall with machetes and were fighting crazily with the coalition soldiers. Those coalition soldiers had long been exhausted from running around for days.
A lot of strength, and at the same time, their individual combat capabilities are not as good as the warriors of the Mad Dragon Legion. They are simply unable to resist the attack of these warriors. One foot, two feet, three feet, the coalition soldiers on the entire city wall are constantly attacking
Retreating, retreating, many coalition soldiers had been knocked off the city wall by the powerful 'side collision' of the Mad Dragon Knights, letting out shrill howls.
Jerry's face looked ugly, and the current acting commander of the Jaguar Legion, a fourth-level imperial gold knight, also looked ugly. They all stared at Lei. Lei stroked his nose a little coquettishly, haha.
He laughed and said, "Ha, well, they are too incompetent. You can't blame me, right? Jerry, you see, they are too incompetent. A single attack of 20,000 people suppressed them.
There are still many soldiers who have not climbed up under the city wall, hahahaha, they have no defensive power at all, you can't blame me."
In front of thousands of senior knights present, Jerry made that vulgar gesture fiercely, and he shouted loudly: "Damn it, is this what you call taking turns to siege training? Seven hundred and seventy thousand
The army is waiting for siege training, but you actually sent 20,000 people to conquer the city? What is this? Lei, you said, you have returned to the imperial capital, how many meals do you need to treat us to make up for the harm you did to us? Pink Fairy,
All generals above the team leader, three days and three nights.”
Lei calculated, and their expressions suddenly changed. With an army of 770,000, and a team of 1,000 people, there would be more than 700 team leaders. Plus other division commanders and deputy division commanders, that's
How many people are there? The pink fairy costs thousands of gold coins per person in one night. This Jerry is deliberately bankrupting himself.
Lei shook his head firmly: "No way, don't even think about it. Hum, I ordered the withdrawal. The next wave of brothers from the Silver Wolf Legion will be their turn to attack. I'll see which unlucky guy can capture the city first."
Jerry's face suddenly turned ugly. Seeing that the entire Yunwu City garrison had lost any morale, once his siege team went up, wouldn't they have conquered the city? Wouldn't it be his turn to treat the guests?
?However, he can't be as shameless as Lei, and call back the army just after setting off to attack the city? Jerry rolled his eyes and started to hum.
When Lomat, Crete and the others were having a laugh, the dragon soldiers on the city wall suddenly stopped attacking and retreated slowly and orderly towards the bottom of the city wall. Several high-level knights led by them stood guard.
At the very back, they carefully looked at the coalition soldiers who were slowly approaching. They didn't jump down until all the mad dragon soldiers retreated from the city wall. A silver knight with the fastest body ran over like an arrow.
Lei was already yelling when he was fifty feet away: "Damn it, what are you doing? Why did you stop attacking? Are you scared to death? You cowards, okay, are you scared? So, let's
I will teach you what real war is."
Lei pulled out his giant sword and was about to go into battle himself. But the silver knight had already knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "Sir, it's not that we want to retreat, but the enemy is using..."
Before he finished speaking, Rockart's gloomy voice came from the other side of the city wall: "General Lei, stop attacking the city, otherwise, Bicart will be the first to die here." Rockart's face showed no trace of emotion.
Normally red, he held Bikart tightly in his hand, which had become as soft as a puddle of mud. The tip of the spear was pressed against his neck, and he could stab Bikart in the neck at any time.
A big hole came out.
There were more than two hundred personal guard knights under Bicart, and the personal guard knights who surrendered with him were also tied up with ropes like lambs and pushed to their knees. They looked at the endless horizon outside the city with pale faces.
The Vante army trembled all over, feeling the biting cold air coming from the cold blade on their necks.
Lei and the others looked at this weird scene on the city wall with their mouths open. Jerry swallowed hard and smiled bitterly: "Ha, I read it right, a surrendered dog was used to threaten us and ask us to stop attacking.
city?"
Lei shook his head gently, walked over and patted the silver knight on the shoulder, motioning for him to get up, and whispered: "Yes, you are right, you did a good job, damn, in this case, I also
We can only order the troops to withdraw first, you despicable Fort Carson people." The frightened face of the silver knight immediately returned to normal, and he looked at Lei with grateful eyes.
Lei roared loudly, and the sound was passed over: "Haha, Rockart, you are called Carson's Tiger, so it turns out that this tiger of yours relies on this method to survive? Okay, okay, tell me.
, what do you want us to do? I warn you, don’t make too many demands, otherwise you will be dead...Bikater, you are really a damn bastard."
The blush on Rockart's face became even thicker. How had he ever done such a shameless thing? He actually had to rely on a surrendered enemy dog that he looked down upon to stop the enemy's attack. This was a great loss to his reputation.
What an insult. He didn't even have the courage to answer Lei's question. He even thought about whether he should throw Bikart off the city wall, and then lead his subordinate soldiers to fight to the death for the last time. The figures around him flashed, and Ingle and Bikart
Meng stood firmly against him, and Yingger whispered: "Rockart, when things have reached this point, what else can we do? Honor? Ha, compared with honor and life, I... I would rather
Choose life. We don’t have the strength to resist their attack. Look, their first attack of about 20,000 people almost broke the city."
Rockart nodded helplessly, hesitated for a while, and finally said dullly: "General Lei, let us leave safely, let all the soldiers in our city leave safely, and we will release your Jaguar Legion Commander Bikart.
"He deliberately raised his voice to speak the last few words. Under the influence of his powerful fighting spirit, the words 'Jaguar Legion Commander Bikart' resounded throughout the battlefield.
With a sound of "coaxing", the soldiers of the three armies of Kuanglong, Silver Wolf and Jaguar became confused. They kept asking the people around them about something. Lei and the others even heard some soldiers saying in a firm tone
: "Yes, that is Mr. Bikart. I took a look at him when we set off from the imperial capital. Yes, he is Mr. Bikart, the commander of our Jaguar Legion. But didn't General Lei say that he was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital?
Have you gone back to the rear for treatment?"
The noise of the Vant soldiers gradually grew louder, and the looks they cast towards Lei began to have a strange meaning.
Jerry's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Lei's body already emitted a dazzling golden light. Then, under the influence of fighting spirit, he floated high and was suspended three hundred feet above the ground.
high in the sky. The giant sword in Lei's hand emitted red firelight. In the mist of light, a majestic aura enveloped the entire world. The 'Crazy King's Art' was fully activated, giving Lei an emperor-like demeanor.
, coupled with the strange light in his eyes that could take away one's consciousness, no one among the many Vant soldiers below could speak for a while. They all closed their mouths, and suddenly there was silence between heaven and earth.
Lei once again increased the speed of the flow of fighting energy in his body, and huge wind pressure emanated from his body. He could clearly see blue wind patterns blowing out around him, making a loud "whirring" sound.
The momentum was so scary for a while. Lei's voice sounded like thunder: "Damn it, brothers, the fearless warriors of the Vante Empire, we have all been deceived... It turns out that the timid Bikart, because he was afraid
He died and had surrendered to the enemy. In order to shirk responsibility and cover up his sins, he actually sent someone to tell us that he was seriously injured while attacking Zijin Castle and had to return to the rear to recuperate, and entrusted me to manage his
Legion.”
"Everything is a lie. No wonder the Jaguar Corps suffered such heavy losses. No wonder the enemy knows the movements of the Jaguar Corps. Everything is his conspiracy. He must think that no one can expose him. As long as the war is over,
After he returns to the empire, he will get credit for the heroic fighting of the Jaguar Legion soldiers. He must think that he can then cover up his guilt of surrendering to the enemy. He is a bastard who relies on betraying his soldiers to gain fame and fortune.
.Oh my God, there is such a person in the Fante Empire?"
Lei's tone suddenly changed to extremely generous and high-spirited, and he shouted loudly: "But fortunately, these despicable people have rebelled in their nest. Our enemies felt that he had no use value, so they betrayed the coward Bikater."
, Hahahaha, soldiers, the conspiracy has been revealed."
Lei's words were full of loopholes, which almost made Jerry and other generals who knew the truth almost stop laughing, but for those soldiers who didn't know the details, everything was logical, so that's how it was. Lomat smiled and looked at the suspended
In the air, Lei, who was like a god, whispered: "My lord, you learn so quickly. Politics is all about lies and deception. Well, if he can deceive these 700,000 soldiers today, he will deceive the entire world in the future."
It’s not difficult for the people of the empire.”
The soldiers had already let out an angry roar: "Kill him, kill him, kill this traitor." Countless swords and guns were raised high into the sky. Some of them were smarter and felt that there was some logic in Lei's words.
Under the influence of his companions around him, the warrior temporarily forgot the doubts that had just emerged in his mind, and roared loudly: "Kill, kill, kill... kill those damn traitors and avenge our brothers.
.”
A cold (smug?) smile appeared on the corner of Lei's mouth. He nodded heavily, turned sharply in the air, pointed the giant sword at Yunwu City, and was about to issue an order. But Lei's heart suddenly thumped:
"Is it true that there is no need to go through the military trial to kill Bikar? Did I exceed my authority?" Lei hesitated a little. After all, at his core, he was still a young man who followed the rules. He didn't want to break those rules.
Weird default rules.
A powerful voice rang out: "Bikat betrayed the empire and betrayed his own soldiers. If there is real evidence, he deserves death..."
Butters, who was riding a tall white horse and covered in golden armor, roared over with five thousand guards. He pointed at Picart and others on the city wall and said loudly: "Generals Ray and Jerry,
This damn bastard should be executed immediately, and then his family should be held accountable for their crimes... I, Butters, have come to the front line to assist in the battle under the order of Lord Sidok, the Minister of Military Affairs. I am willing to lead the invincible warriors of the empire to defeat these bastards.
The fortress.”
Butters' body exuded a pure, holy white brilliance, and the gorgeous magic spells on his armor also flashed with golden brilliance for a while, flying out like little birds, flying around his body.
To be continued...
