Glory Riding and Cutting

This, this, my lord, what should I do? There are only less than 500 guards in this city, and they are all composed of rural farmers. The number of veterans is less than one-tenth. How can they resist Mayweather's attack? Tens of thousands of troops!

Wasn't he in Strahan before, why did he come to me? My lord, let's run away quickly!

Viscount Jewitt Busenger, the apparent owner of Busenger Fort, said that he was obviously panicked. Busenger Fort originally only had a militia guard of more than 100 people, but the current 500 people are still the same as before. He was transferred from other places, and the military salary was also paid by the state. After all, his leader was only more than 1,000 people, and he couldn't afford an army of 500 people. He could be bankrupted in less than a month.

Originally, Jieweit expected Aldridge to bring him some good news. It would be better if the upper management suddenly realized his difficulties and decided to subsidize him with some gold coins. This time, Aldridge did not bring any money. , the breaking news is that there is one.

The walls of Fort Busenger are thick and high, but they are too small. After Aldridge arrived with more than 600 cavalry, the castle immediately became crowded, and Aldridge even had to let the troops stationed outside the city.

Because he couldn't attack Strahan, he came here. What are you afraid of? Didn't I bring people to support you! Call all the officers under your command to come to a meeting, and we will study how to defend now.

Seeing Jiewit's appearance, Aldridge couldn't help laughing, and then said indifferently.

But my lord, even with the 700 people you brought, the number of enemy troops is dozens of times that of ours. How can we hold it!

Jiewit said with a bitter face, Aldridge suddenly looked serious, and then said:

If you can't stand it, you have to keep it! Your Majesty will entrust you and me with important tasks, and we must not let him down! If you are afraid, you can pack up and leave now. Mayweather will take a while to arrive. You still have Time is running! But don't expect me to hide your behavior of fleeing without fighting before Your Majesty!

Don't, don't, my lord, how can I leave, Busenger is my fief, and I will protect it no matter what! Don't worry, the soldiers under me are at your disposal, and I will never cause you any trouble !

Jieweit changed his face instantly, and said with a smile. Aldridge nodded, let him go, and then said:

Take me to inspect the castle, I want to see the military geography here and the places we can use!

Okay, my lord, I'll take you right away! This way please!

Jieweit led the way out, and then began to introduce as he walked:

Fort Busenger was built by my grandfather's grandfather. Due to geographical and financial reasons, it can only be built so large. Since it was built, it has been relying on the tolls of passing caravans to maintain its life.

This is a warehouse. His Majesty had the foresight to send troops to increase the number of troops and at the same time hoard a lot of arrows and other supplies here, enough for the archers in the city to shoot for a month.

There is also plenty of food, although most of it is air-dried food that is different from storage, only some local dairy products are considered fresh.

This is the city gate. There is no gate, only an iron gate, but the design is different from other castles. The mechanism is under the city wall, in the extra square building over there.

These two pendulums are the only defensive equipment in the city. As long as the tied ropes are loosened, the two pendulums will fall from both sides and sweep away the ladders on the city wall. A large number of people pull the rope by hand to pull the pendulum back to its position and then fasten the new rope.

Okay, I probably know everything, go and call the officers to attend the meeting!

Aldridge said that after walking around the castle, Aldridge already understood a little bit. This small castle built in the mountain stream really has nothing to rely on for defense, and the next step is probably a tough battle.

The only point is to ensure that the city gate is not lost. As long as the city gate is not lost, Aldridge has the confidence to stop them on the city wall.

Afterwards, Aldridge held a brief meeting with the officers in the city, called the soldiers in the city to mobilize before the station, and finally assigned tasks and positions to each team accurately. And immediately began to send additional guards on the city wall to be on duty 24 hours a day.

Since fighting Mayweather during this period, Aldridge already has a preliminary understanding of Mayweather. He is a general who likes to use unexpected tactics or surprise attacks. He succeeded, and based on his current understanding of Mayweather, there is a high probability that Mayweather will take a good rest at a distance that they can't see, and then directly march quickly to launch an attack in the dark.

Therefore, Aldridge specially sent a lot of manpower to stand guard at night, and asked the soldiers to adjust their rest time and rest early to avoid the situation of being too tired at night and causing a decline in combat effectiveness. He also arranged a lot of elite men with strong observation skills The Cavaliers led the night shift to reduce the possibility of accidents.

As expected, the fact was not what Aldridge expected. On the third night, Mayweather's troops carried black painted ladders and wore armor with black smocks, trying to sneak into the city of Fort Busenger under the cover of night. Launched an attack, but although they were well camouflaged, the defenders who had prepared for a long time discovered them from a distance.

Seeing groups of black things moving constantly in the distance, the officer guarding the city immediately realized something was wrong. After checking with the binoculars, he immediately called the soldiers beside him to knock on the city wall. on the big clock.

The long bell rang in the city, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the city woke up immediately. They all slept with the armor lined, so many steps were omitted in wearing the armor, and the infantry with less equipment quickly put on the half body armor. , put on their helmets, lifted their spears and walked towards the city wall. The knights helped each other put on the complicated armor, and then raised their weapons and ran towards the city wall.

Aldridge didn't sleep. After hearing the bell, he immediately walked towards the city wall with the ghoul lords standing silently in the barracks.

Hearing the bell, Mayweather's army also knew that they had leaked, so instead of hiding, they sped up and sprinted directly, and the arrows of the two armies also began to exchange constantly in the dark night.

Stick to your post, remember, the enemy army needs to climb the city wall, but we don't have to, this is our advantage, hit them hard with the things in your hand, smash them down!

Fight bravely to live longer!

On the city wall, the officers kept running on the city wall to check whether all the posts were in place, and said loudly to the soldiers.
