The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

In addition, behind the enemy army, there were dozens of heavy catapults constantly throwing stone projectiles at the city wall. Fortunately, these catapults are not very accurate, and few can accurately throw stone bullets onto the city wall.

However, even if those catapults were not very accurate, most of the stone bullets would miss, but they were always a threat, so Jiang You asked his men to move the artillery on the other walls to the east wall, with full firepower. Blast those enemy slings.

Under the concentrated fire of dozens of artillery, most of the catapults were quickly destroyed, and the artillery also suffered a lot. So King Yarogork could only withdraw his artillery while treating the wounded. Start repairing those broken slings.

When Jiang You saw that he had repelled the enemy's artillery, he immediately stopped firing most of the artillery. After all, these artillery were old-fashioned artillery produced before the Qinglong Empire was founded. Once fired too many times, the barrels would overheat. It's easy to explode.

So Jiang You planned to divide these artillery pieces into several batches for use, so that these artillery pieces could have time to dissipate heat.

Jiang You made this arrangement because he saw that the enemy's troops attacking the city were larger than yesterday. In addition, it was still early today, so the enemy should not only launch such an offensive, so he had to prepare the attack in advance. Preparation for a protracted war.

Even the soldiers in the city were divided into two teams by him, one team was responsible for fighting in the morning, and the other team was responsible for continuing the relay operation in the afternoon.

Facts have proved that Jiang You's arrangements were very necessary. The enemy attacked fiercely all morning. After the first batch of more than 50,000 troops was almost exhausted, they sent another 50,000 troops, and continued in the afternoon. The attack did not give the defenders any chance to breathe.

Jiang You took advantage of the gap between the first batch of enemy troops to retreat and the second wave of siege troops to advance. He quickly withdrew the first batch of defenders on the city wall, and then let those who had been recuperating before Rui's second batch of defenders was mobilized.

The first batch of defenders, who had been fighting fiercely all morning, were all very tired at this time, and many of them had minor injuries, but they still continued to fight on the city wall. This may also be related to the fact that the coach Jiang You has been insisting on directing the battle on the city wall.

Those soldiers saw that even the generals had been fighting on the front line and they were only slightly injured. Naturally, they were too embarrassed to withdraw directly to rest.

The second group of defenders hurriedly rushed to the city wall and found that the enemy troops were close to within 500 meters of the city wall, so they hurriedly controlled the artillery on the city wall to fire at the enemy troops.

After fighting for such a long time, the enemy troops also learned a lesson. When they heard the sound of the cannon, they immediately dispersed the troops and no longer gathered together as before. This means that even if Jiang You and the others use high-explosive bombs to bombard the enemy, the casualties they can cause are not high.

Jiang You looked at this scene and felt quite worried. If they continue to fight like this, the ammunition stored in Albuquerque Castle will definitely not be enough. Even if they use up all the shells and bullets, they probably won't be able to use it. All the regular enemy soldiers outside the city were destroyed. Fortunately, he had already asked his civilians to collect arrows after the war. Even some stone bullets thrown into the city by enemy trebuchets were collected and used as spare ammunition after the cannonballs and bullets were used up. . The only problem now is that there are no large heavy trebuchets in Albuk Castle, so those huge stone projectiles may only be used as rolling stones and thrown directly from the city wall to hit people.

While Jiang You was fighting fiercely here, Ye Tianlong had already received the news that Albuk Fort was besieged by the army of the Kingdom of Wikiia. Although his master Li Rufeng said that he did not need to come back for help, he could Get rid of that army of Wikia. But for the sake of safety, Ye Tianlong still mobilized 30,000 troops to return reinforcements. These 30,000 soldiers are all troops with good military discipline. As for those troops with poor military discipline, they are still kept here to rectify military discipline!

After transferring 30,000 troops at once, and dealing with a large number of soldiers who violated military discipline, Ye Tianlong now only has more than 60,000 troops left in his hands, and less than 70,000 troops.

However, the reason why Ye Tianlong dared to mobilize 30,000 troops was because he had confirmed that the main army of the Kingdom of Swadia had indeed been defeated by him. Otherwise, he would not have divided the troops at will regardless of the safety of the main army.

Now Ye Tianlong has asked Shi Qian to investigate clearly. The army of more than 500,000 sent by King Haraus was indeed almost all the elite troops of the Kingdom of Swadia. After this army was destroyed, Swadi All that is left in the Kingdom of Asia are some urban militiamen with low combat effectiveness. The more than 60,000 troops left in his hands should be more than enough to deal with these militiamen, and they may even evolve into the same kind as when they conquered the Kingdom of Sirona in the later stages. An armed march basically only requires the army to rush to a town. The defenders of that town will surrender obediently after seeing their own army.

At the same time, Li Rufeng began to urgently recruit troops from various places in the country. Knowing that the enemy had a large number of troops, Li Rufeng decided to allocate all regular soldiers from various places, leaving only militiamen to defend the city, so that she could There are more than 40,000 troops. Although it is still not as large as the Kingdom of Wikiya, it is estimated that it will be difficult to completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, but it should be possible to repel the opponent and relieve the siege of Albuk Fort.

However, just when Li Rufeng spent more than three days to assemble the troops and prepare to set off, the 30,000 troops sent by Ye Tianlong also rushed back. So now, Li Rufeng had more than 70,000 troops on hand to repel Wiki The army of the Kingdom of Asia is more confident.

During these three days, King Yarogerk has been continuously sending troops to storm Albuk Fort. After discovering that the enemy's firearms were very lethal, starting from the next day, he began to attack the regular soldiers. A large number of civilians were included in the attack, hoping to use these civilians with little combat effectiveness to consume the enemy's ammunition.

Jiang You didn't notice this at first, but Diligang, an experienced veteran, quickly saw through King Yarogerke's tricks and reminded Jiang You of the general.

After being reminded by Diligang, Jiang You immediately changed his tactics. He asked his soldiers to put away the muskets and use crossbows instead, using the arrows collected these days to kill the enemy militiamen.

Those militiamen basically don't have any decent armor, so even ordinary crossbows with less armor-breaking capabilities can effectively kill them. As waves of arrows fall, those who are sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder The enemy militiamen immediately began to fall in pieces.

When King Yarogork saw this scene from behind, he had no choice. After all, the enemy was completely free to kill the enemy with muskets or bows and crossbows! He couldn't control it either.

However, even if Jiang You saw through the enemy's plan and began to consciously save ammunition and try his best to shoot the cannon fodder civilians with bows and crossbows, when the enemy attacked until the afternoon of the sixth day, the shells and bullets began to be exhausted one after another.

Without the help of those powerful firearms, the enemy army relied on their superior strength and some elites began to successfully climb the city wall. Therefore, Jiang You had no choice but to lead his soldiers to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat with these enemy troops who had climbed onto the city wall. .

"Everyone, hold on, it's going to be dark soon!"

On the city wall of Albuk Fort, Jiang You yelled while holding a steel knife and slashed hard on the neck of an enemy soldier who had just climbed up the city wall.

However, this enemy soldier was obviously an elite soldier. Even though Jiang You had already made a huge wound on his neck, he still used his last strength to raise the moon-blade ax in his hand and struck Jiang You hard. .

Seeing this, Jiang You quickly raised the steel shield in his other hand to block.

There was a loud bang, and Jiang You was shocked by the huge force from the steel shield and took a step back. After all, he had been fighting fiercely for several days and was very tired, so even if he faced this with only Ming Jin, It was a bit difficult to deal with the powerful enemy soldiers.

After taking a breather, Jiang You dragged his tired body and struck with a shield, knocking the seriously injured enemy soldier and knocking him over from the city wall.

However, as soon as he got rid of one enemy soldier, another enemy soldier rushed over from his left side, holding a two-handed scimitar in his hand and slashed at him.

"General, be careful!"

Seeing that Jiang You was too tired to react for a while, a militiaman not far from Jiang You immediately roared and rushed over, throwing the enemy soldier to the ground.

The enemy soldier was angry that this guy had ruined his good deeds. Before he could get up from the ground, he slashed out with his backhand knife, hitting the militiaman's forearm in front of him, completely severing his left forearm. It was broken, and blood immediately poured out from the fracture.

However, after these days of fighting, the militiaman gradually became a qualified soldier. He did not scream in pain after being severely injured. Instead, he used his intact right arm to strangle the enemy's neck. It made it impossible for him to shake him off and stand up again.

Reyek, who had just arrived here, quickly thrust out his two-handed sword, and pierced the enemy's chest with one sword.

After Reyek killed the enemy soldier, the attacking enemy troops suddenly began to retreat at the same time. It turned out that the sun was almost setting, so King Yarogork issued an order to retreat.

Seeing that the enemy troops were beginning to retreat, Jiang You, whose hands and feet were so tired that they were already sore, ignored the blood on the ground and sat down on the ground, starting to breathe heavily.

"Jiang You, you are too tired, go down and take a rest! Dili Gang and I are here to keep an eye on it, everything will be fine!" Reyek saw Jiang You's pale and tired face and persuaded him.

He knew very well that the other party was entrusted with an important task because of this, so he did not dare to be careless. These days, he basically eats and sleeps on the city wall, but how can he have a good rest here! So even though Jiang You was already a warrior with An Jin cultivation, his body was still getting weaker day by day. If this continues, Jiang You's body may completely collapse soon.

After all, Jiang You is the commander-in-chief of Fort Albuk. Once something goes wrong with his body, it will definitely greatly affect the morale of the defenders.

Jiang You also felt that his body was weak, so he did not refuse Reyek's proposal. After holding on his strength and explaining a few words to Reyek, he walked down the city wall step by step with the help of several soldiers.
