That's very badass

Chapter 115 Fierce battle in the city

Although the city gate has not been closed at this time, no one can enter or exit the city gate. There are only a few dozens of soldiers at the door distributed on both sides of the city gate.

The large brazier at the gate of the city illuminated their sluggish appearance. Even facing a large army coming in front of them, they were stunned and looked at each other, but no one came forward to ask about their intentions.

'A serf is a serf, without the look or vigilance of a soldier. With this in mind, Earl Carney slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, admiring the astonished eyes of the city gate guards.

As if they were frightened, they just stood there blankly, without any warning or resistance. With Earl Carney's weapon raised high, he issued an order to attack.

With the order to attack, the guards came to their senses. They dropped their weapons and fled in all directions. They even left the city gate behind.

Looking at the open city gate, the knights laughed. This scene greatly boosted their morale. They took advantage of this gap to quickly rush into the city and temporarily controlled the city gate.

With the shouts of the knights, the soldiers also began to run towards the city. They looked at the deserted streets and the bonfires lit by the roadside, and laughed heartily.

Although they predicted that this battle would be easy, they didn't expect it to be so easy, so they rushed into the city so easily.

It's just that archers were already standing on the walls they couldn't see and the surrounding roofs, and they just lay quietly on the ground.

As for the soldiers, they were fully armed and hid behind various buildings and on the city walls.

They were informed of the possible attack and ambushed here in advance, and the task of the infantry on the wall was to prevent them from opening the gate.

It's just that what they can't understand is why they let the enemy in. Isn't it good to keep the enemy out.

Although they had questions of one kind or another, since Mr. Fox didn't say anything, he must have his own plan.

As soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders, and they just stay here quietly, waiting for the next order.

At this time, Mirron had already arrived at the station of the Galewind Legion in the city. After taking off his helmet, he was able to enter the station and meet their commander, Knight Tano.

Milon directly informed them of the invasion. After hearing the news, the Tano knights didn't believe it at first, and then sent a Gale Cavalry to confirm the matter.

After seeing the facts, he understood that since the enemy dared to attack Earl Roland's territory, they would definitely not let witnesses like them go.

This made him make an instant decision to participate in the war. However, considering the complex fighting environment in the city, he agreed to Mirron as the final sweeper, but he still stated that he would participate when they could no longer support them.

Earl Carney also stepped into the city gate. Looking at the empty scene in front of him, he immediately became alert because it was so quiet here. He looked up at the city wall and found that there was no one on the city wall.

After the soldiers guarding the city panicked and fled, the place seemed to be an empty city, and the soldiers seen on the city wall disappeared. They neither fled nor guarded the city wall. These are a bit unusual.

"Everyone forms a formation, be careful of ambushes."

Thinking of the ambush, Earl Carney turned his head to look at the city gate vigilantly. Suddenly his pupils began to shrink, and he saw a hanging door. In an instant, he knew why the enemy let them in.

Now that we are allowed in and the city gate is under our control, no matter what conspiracy you have, it will be of no use.

There was only a huge sliding sound of hinges, and the hanging door fell down at a critical moment. With the loud bang, their soldiers were divided into two parts.

Seeing the city gate crashing down so close to them, several soldiers were so frightened that they peed their pants when they saw the horrific scene in front of them. They knelt on the ground and kept vomiting. It was quite a sight to see such fragmentary scenes. The soldier at the door was dizzy.

Count Carney just sneered twice and knew that this must be his brother Fox's plan, and he instantly understood the reason for his doing so.

"Soldiers, try to open the city gate."

Without Earl Carney's order, the knights' sense of war told them that the most important thing to do now was to open the city gates to allow the troops to rendezvous.

The city gate is just wrapped in a thick iron sheet and cannot be opened manually without the help of a winch. All that can be destroyed is the buffer material under the city gate. Just destroying them will not help open the city gate. .

"Worthy of being a member of the Carney family." He wanted to wipe out his own soldiers and swallow up the territory of the Carney family. Soldiers from other strongholds must have rushed here.

Although he expelled him from the territory and deprived him of his identity, as the son of the previous Earl of Kearney and the younger brother of the current Earl of Kearney, he still has a claim.

Of course, the premise is that he can defeat the current Earl of Carney and seize the territory by force.

It's just that such a thing has not happened for many years. As the second sons, they have no way to obtain enough force to seize this claim, which makes him completely ignore this matter.

If he dies, his claim will be more stable. The affairs between himself and him can only be regarded as internal affairs of the family. After all, he is also a Kearney with good roots, but invading other earldoms by himself is a violation of the kingdom. law.

Even if it is just a draw, he will lose, because the king will deprive himself of his identity and let the Carney family choose another person, and that person can only be him-Burton Carney.

"The knights keep me safe. The infantry close to the shield wall."

In an instant, Earl Kearney understood that their target must be himself. As long as he died, Burton Kearney would be able to ask these soldiers to surrender as the Kearney family and successfully seize the family territory.

The soldiers gave up their plan to open the city gate and began to move closer to Count Carney. Count Carney was directly pressed to the ground by the knights around him. They began to raise their shields to guard against possible attacks.

It must be said that as a knight, their decision and reaction to protect the lord were one step ahead of others. After they completed all this, the soldiers slowly formed a circular formation.

Earl Kearney did not intend to destroy the roadside braziers. In his opinion, even if only half of them entered the city, they still had an advantage. If the source of the fire was extinguished, the situation would become balanced.

The soldiers who fell into chaos didn't care, and they didn't have the time to distinguish whether they were their comrades-in-arms. Every nobleman throughout the ages would try to avoid fighting in complete darkness.

At the same time, enough guards will be sent to prevent such things from happening.

At this time, the sky just happened to be stuck at sunset, and when the moon was not yet out, there was nothing that could bring them a ray of light except firelight.

A resounding female voice sounded "Arrow Release", followed by arrows raining from all directions.

'Bang~bang~bang~'

The sound of arrows hitting the shield was as dense as raindrops, the constantly shaking shield, and the arrows passing through the shield all indicated that they were in a very bad situation.

Some arrows even passed through halfway. Looking at the arrows that were less than a finger away from them, and the arrows that seemed to be shining with cold light, even as professional soldiers, they felt chills on their backs. There was also profuse sweat.

There are even some people who were directly pierced by the arrows. They screamed, but still held the shields in their hands. It was not because of their strong willpower, but because his arms had been disguised. nailed to the shield.

The only way to save them from pain is to stay still, which is the right thing to do.

A few people were directly shot by arrows, but fortunately the shields protected their vital points. They dropped their weapons because of the pain, and then picked them up under the urging of their comrades-in-arms, because they knew that all they could rely on was Dagger in hand.

The arrow rain just came in wave after wave, like raindrops without stopping, but as time went by, it became more and more neat.

Earl Carney knew that they were conducting military training. Once they, the 'new recruits', had to adapt to the battlefield while his own soldiers were being suppressed, they would only continue to lose their sharpness and could not wait any longer.

"Everyone attacks, the target is to seize the city wall, open the city gate, and allow our soldiers to join together."

Another wave of arrows came, and Earl Carney issued an order to attack. The order was given simply and concisely, and the purpose was made clear at the beginning.

The soldiers who received the order immediately charged towards the city wall. They knew that if they could not rush in front of the enemy before the next wave of arrows arrived, they would definitely suffer a heavy blow while charging.

This is the way to survive on the battlefield, and not going forward will only hasten their death.

When they rushed to the steps of the city wall, they saw the infantry on the opposite side. They were wearing uniform armor and scale skirts, shining brightly under the light of the fire.

The anger they had suppressed before burst out instantly.Not for anything else, just because they are a group of recruits, and with such a psychological advantage, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

It's just that as the battle started, the soldiers in the front row showed astonishment in their eyes. The defense on the opposite side was impeccable, and the attack was sharp and deadly. No matter how you look at it, it's not what a recruit should look like.

They wanted to adopt a more cautious attack method, but were pushed forward step by step by the unaware soldiers behind them. They had no time to think about it, so they could only choose to protect themselves with shields and move forward along with this force.

It is hoped that a wider combat space can be opened, because the steps of the city wall are too cramped here, and they cannot attack at all under the crowded conditions. Not a threat.

But at this time, a voice that made them tremble with fear came, "Archers change to armor-piercing arrows and shoot freely."

There was a moment of confusion at the beginning of them. Looking around, they saw the archers on the roof behind them, but they had no choice but to squeeze harder towards the city wall.

It's just that when they came to the junction of the steps and the city wall, they encountered new troubles. Not only did they have to face frontal and side attacks, but the soldiers behind them had to face bows and arrows from multiple sides.

This leaves them with a 'no successor' situation.Their offensive was contained, and the city wall and the gate control room were in sight, but it was difficult for them to move forward.

Earl Carney knew that they had been defeated due to the enemy's careful arrangements, but he was not willing to fail like this. In his opinion, the enemy just took advantage of the geographical location, and there must be other ways.

Looking at the soldiers approaching all around, he knew that the only way out was to disperse them, then climb up the city wall from other places, and then storm the city gate control room.

Even if they can't break through, they control the other city walls.

It is still possible for the soldiers outside to pass through the city walls safely through ladders or slings and enter the city. At that time, they will concentrate their superior forces and fight again. This is their only chance to quickly end the battle.

It certainly took time to make the ladder, but luckily they brought slings in consideration of the climbing and support, which made the plan feasible.

At this time, he hadn't realized that the enemy's soldiers were not all the recruits he thought, on the contrary, they were as elite as their soldiers.

It's just that the soldiers who knew this didn't have time to tell him.

Because they have also fallen into the quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.

"Everyone, change direction, target the Lord's Mansion, and attack!"

Without the reference and the guidance of the flag officer, he could only choose such a vague target, and only in this way, they would not appear to be chaotic charging around.

Frustrated in their attack, they began to turn around. Under the threat of archers from high places in all directions, they didn't even have time to prepare their formation. The wailing of the soldiers who hadn't died on the ground was like a urging song, urging them to flee here.

They rushed towards the enemy's formation in a chaotic manner, and as the charge continued, their distracting thoughts began to dissipate.

The first wave of attack must have come from the collision of the shields, and a series of collision sounds were made at the moment when the shields collided.

This brought back bad memories in their minds. Their attacks began to be timid, but they forgot that they had already engaged in close combat with the enemy and would not be attacked by bows and arrows.

In such a chaotic battlefield, no one can predict the movement of so many targets.

The soldiers let out roars of unknown meaning to cheer for themselves, as if they could vent their hot blood. The soldiers on the city wall also rushed down under the leadership of Aveline, and their goal was the enemy's back.

The battle did not go as Count Carney had guessed. Instead, it presented an anxious scene, and because of their numerical disadvantage, their army began to retreat slowly.

They will inevitably fall into a more difficult situation. Earl Carney knows that it is time to ignore his own comfort. These soldiers must not be recruits who have only undergone less than two months of training.

All this was caused by information from the businessman Beam, who swore that if he could get out, he would let this fool experience all the tortures.

He judges others by himself, and he doesn't think Fox will let him go after failure.

"Knights, follow me, it's time for us to take the field." Then he said loudly: "Soldiers, listen up, your count will be with you."

After speaking, he rushed forward with the knights guarding him and the last hundreds of soldiers. He tried to inspire their morale by leading the way, and at the same time used the force of the knights as a front to break through a gap and occupy a certain area. city ​​walls.

Although the hope is slim, it is not completely hopeless. He still has more than 1000 soldiers.
