Chapter 115 The Wall Falls
Why only five grenadiers?

Since the power of homemade grenades is small, why not throw them intensively?Throw dozens or hundreds of them at a time, isn't that powerful?

However, the orcs had already rushed within 30 meters of the wall. Luo Yi had no time to ask Guan Yajun and could only focus on the battle.

This time, Guan Yajun didn't wait for the orcs to rush to the edge of the wall before using the grenadiers. Instead, he ordered the archers to shoot freely, and immediately ordered the grenadiers to "ignite" and then ordered them to "throw".

It was the same loud noise as the first time, and also injured some orcs.However, this time the orcs stopped being in a daze and continued to charge.

Orcs are indeed brave.Even if the orc carrying the bumper was injured by shrapnel, he persisted and refused to fall until he was replaced by the orc next to him.

Under the cover of the big shield, Zhuangmu approached the wall tenaciously, and finally reached the attack position one after another.

Under the serious interference of earthen grenades, bows and javelins, the orcs who were responsible for carrying the rams and impacts suffered heavy casualties, and the rams hit the wall occasionally temporarily interrupted.However, the orc soldiers fought one after another, so that the wall didn't last long before it was severely damaged.

The first gap appeared, and then it got bigger and bigger.

When the gap was enlarged enough that four or five orcs could enter and exit side by side, the orcs in that position stopped hitting with rams, and then the orc soldiers rushed in through the gap.

Luo Yi rushed over without hesitation, and blocked the gap with the aura of one man being the one who guards the gate.

However, a second gap appeared again, followed by a third, a fourth...

The leaders bravely fought fiercely with the orcs at the gap.However, the disparity in combat power between the two sides was too great, so the casualties of the leaders increased sharply.

At this time, it can be seen that the people's desire for freedom and wealth is not like the fanaticism of religion and belief, and they will not waver even if they know that they must die.

The citizens may be able to actively fight for the lead in a downwind war, and grit their teeth in a deadlocked war.However, under the influence of heavy casualties, the courage of the leaders gradually shrunk and disappeared like ice cubes under the scorching sun during the brutal meat grinder-style battles.

Seeing this, Luo Yi shouted and ordered the whole army to retreat into the castle.

The citizens began to retreat with relief.

Luo Yi fought and retreated, covering the people around him and slowly retreating to the gate of the castle.At this time, the gate still has a gap that can accommodate a person to enter and exit, just waiting for Luo Yi to enter, it will quickly close the gate and fasten the latch.

Since the door is made of very thick and hard solid wood, and one end of the bolt can be inserted into the stone wall, once the door is closed, it is difficult to knock it open even with a wooden banging from the outside.The citizens inside the door were anxiously waiting for Luo Yi to go in, so that they would feel safe after closing the door.

However, Luo Yi, who was standing at the door, hesitated and did not retreat even though he had the opportunity to retreat into the castle.As a result, the people in the castle couldn't help but beg loudly.

If Luo Yi didn't enter the castle, they wouldn't dare to close the door - how dare they leave the lord outside the castle full of enemies?
But if the door was not closed, they were frightened again, and they were too frightened to bear.So they had no choice but to plead with Luo Yi, begging him to enter the castle quickly.

However, what puzzled the people at the gate was that Luo Yi yelled "Close the gate", and then rushed into the enemy group instead of retreating.

……

Of all tactical operations, retreat is probably the most difficult to implement.

Even if the troops implement a tactical retreat when there is no battle, there is still the possibility of being defeated due to disturbances or tentative assaults by the enemy.

As for wanting to disengage smoothly from the enemy in melee, unless the enemy also has the same will, it is wishful thinking.

Therefore, although Luo Yi ordered the latter part of the people to successfully withdraw to the castle, some people were attacked fiercely by the orcs and could not get rid of the enemy at all.

When Luo Yi retreated to the gate of the castle, there were still citizens who persisted in resisting.However, due to the disparity in combat strength, from time to time some leaders were injured or even fell down, and the screams of human beings on the battlefield continued continuously.

Luo Yi hesitated at the gate and did not enter the castle because he was thinking about a question: Could it be that the living citizens outside the castle were allowed to be killed one by one?
Confucius' saying "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is really justified.

Even if there are thousands of casualties in a battle, the general far away from the scene can calmly issue military orders.But if this person killed a subordinate who violated military discipline by himself, he would probably feel unbearable and even feel uncomfortable when he heard the wailing and screaming and watching the bloody scene.

Although the people who were left outside the castle were slaughtered by orcs, but "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me", in short Luo Yi felt very uncomfortable.

If Luo Yi was helpless, he would naturally retreat into the castle in a hurry, waiting for a chance to avenge the dead lords in the future.But the problem is that Luo Yi's combat power is super strong, so it may not be impossible to save those territories surrounded by orcs.

The reason why Luo Yi hesitated was because he was not [-]% sure.

Luo Yi is not a veteran of hundreds of battles, but his experience and understanding of combat have far surpassed that of a veteran of hundreds of battles.

Luo Yi's fighting skills have made great strides since the last time he finished gathering the wool.But there are more than 300 orcs. If they stalk him and attack desperately, Luo Yi may die on the battlefield. He consulted the system, and the system said that flying saucers cannot be used in battle, so they cannot save their lives through bugs.

So Luo Yi listened to the miserable cry for help from the besieged people, and retreated into the castle without moving his feet.But thinking of rescuing the people but putting himself in danger, Luo Yi couldn't move his legs.What a dilemma.

However, there was really no time to think too much on the battlefield, and Luo Yi was a hot-blooded young man after all.So in the end he yelled "close the door", then gritted his teeth and rushed into the enemy group without hesitation.

In fact, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong in many things, just like the difference between a successful king and a defeated enemy.For example, if Luo Yi's decision succeeds, he will be praised as unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, but if it fails, he will be ridiculed as a woman's benevolence.

Luo Yi violently waved his half-handed sword, and rushed towards several leaders who were desperately resisting.

The hand and half sword was the mainstream weapon that appeared in the fifteenth century and dominated the medieval battlefield until the end of the Middle Ages.The withdrawal of the hand and half sword from the stage of history is not because it was replaced by more advanced swords, but because of the increasing maturity of musket technology, all cold weapons bowed and called off.

The hand-and-a-half sword can stab, chop, and slash. It can be used with both hands or with a shield.In Luo Yi's hands, the half-handed sword is sometimes as light as a feather, and its trajectory is erratic, and suddenly it flashes across the enemy's throat like lightning; Drop half of the enemy's head.

After breaking through the enemy's obstruction, Luo Yi rescued the three leaders. Without time to catch his breath, he shouted "Protect my back", and then rushed towards the next leader who was still resisting.

Luo Yi repeatedly rushed back and forth among the enemy group until he could no longer hear the cries for help from the leaders.

He hastily observed, and found that apart from the dozen or so people around him, there were no other citizens who could stand on the battlefield.

The question now is, how can he withdraw to the castle when he is back on the wall?
