Updated at half past five in the morning, so sleepy Thank you for your comments, I have fixed the typos and some flaws. ` Chapter Seventy-Two By noon, the siege had reached a fever pitch.
After a full morning, the two sides have left thousands of corpses under the walls of Watt Fortress, and the walls of Watt Fortress are almost stained red with blood, and the bluestone on the city wall has accumulated a shallow layer of blood, and the smell is pungent After a morning of fierce fighting, Rochenthal had no intention of ordering the troops to retreat, and he kept issuing orders to let his teams rush up.
A thick layer of corpses had been piled up at the foot of the city wall, but in the face of heavy casualties, Rochenthal did not have the slightest sense of regret, because he knew that only by conquering the Watt Fortress could he be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the northwest, and only the conquered Watt Fortress could be regarded as pulling out the last nail of the empire in the northwest As long as he can occupy the northwest and occupy the northwest for a long time, then the iron ore in the northwest and the grain produced in the thousands of miles of fertile soil will continue to grow the Great Moon Kingdom, his cavalry can be equipped with exquisite armor, his infantry can be well-equipped, and his legions will have sufficient food and grass And these are the most scarce materials for the Great Moon Kingdom itself With these supplies, then with the momentum of victory, force the Empire to call off.
As long as there is a cultivation period of two or three years, the Great Moon Kingdom will have enough strength to fight a full-scale war with the Empire, and it will have enough strength to compete with the Bright Empire for the hegemony of this continent Therefore, Rochenthal made up his mind that even if half of the people killed and wounded here, he must take down the Watt Fortress Even if half of the people were killed or wounded, there was no shortage of heroic and fierce horsemen on the steppe, as long as Rochenthal gave an order, the young men of the entire steppe could become brave cavalrymen on horseback It is precisely because of these reasons that Rochenthal made up his mind that no matter how many people were killed or wounded, he must take the Watt Fortress and have captured other military strongholds, so that he can firmly establish a strong defense system in the northwest and truly control the northwest in the hands of the Great Moon Kingdom The Imperial soldiers on the city walls were already tired, and all the soldiers had blood on their faces and were more or less wounded.
Ruben had no reserves left at the moment.
He had already twice ordered the defenders of the other three gates to be mobilized.
But he didn't dare to move the defenders of the other gates.
Because Rogenthal has more troops than him, if it causes the other gates to be empty and is attacked by this cunning guy, Rochenthal, it will be a big deal For a whole morning, the archers' arrows had all been shot, the enemy had rushed to the city wall, the archers had no space to shoot calmly, many archers had drawn their swords and fought the enemy on this narrow city wall, and in one morning, Reuben suffered more than 20,000 casualties Many of the Imperial defenders' swords had been slashed to the ground, and the blood on their bodies could no longer distinguish whether it was their own or the enemy's.
But the barbarians of the alien race shouted and rushed up one by one as if they were not afraid of death, and the scimitars in their hands were like tools for harvesting human lives, and each time they fell, they brought up a blur of flesh and blood.
On the city walls, people were huddled together like ants, and screams and roars filled the land.
Reuben had already joined the ranks of hand-to-hand combat, he had lost count of how many people he had killed, and the strength of a foreign warrior he had just met was extremely strong, although his last sword pierced his chest, but the knife he had before he died almost cut off one of his arms.
Now the wound on his right arm was deep and bone-deep, but there was no chance to bandage it during the fight.
Reuben was already a little scared in his heart.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that today's Watt Fortress may not be able to keep it at this moment, there is a shout of killing on the city wall, but the morale of the imperial defenders has fallen, watching groups of fierce enemies who are not afraid of death keep rushing up, those enemies who are killing endlessly, are they really not afraid of death An incomprehensible sense of grief and indignation hit his heart, and Reuben was so distracted that he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a scimitar had cut through his already broken armor.
Reuben subconsciously swept the big sword in his left hand and cut the alien warrior who had succeeded in the sneak attack into two pieces, but his body was so weak that he almost fell.
Several loyal soldiers had already swarmed up, shouting and entangled with the enemy, and the two men dragged Ruben back desperately.
"That's it, the city wall can't be defended," a thought crossed Reuben's heart, and he was about to open his mouth to give the order to abandon the city wall, and the whole army retreated into the city to fight the enemy in the streets.
Suddenly, I heard one of my subordinates shouting excitedly in a trembling voice: "My lord, you listen to that."
I heard a loud trumpet coming from afar, and the sharp, long sound of the trumpet was completely different from the imperial trumpet that Reuben was accustomed to hearing on a daily basis.
Immediately, I only saw a few knights faintly appearing on the high slope behind the Otsuki Kingdom army formation in front of me, although the distance was too far to see their clothes and equipment, but the knight at the head held a huge flame-like banner high in his hand After the subsequent banner, a dense row of cavalry appeared, and those figures were black and oppressive, more and more and more The trumpet sounded again, this time short and sharp, one after the other, six times Although far away, Reuben seemed to be able to hear the neighing of the warhorse This is the peculiar "charge trumpet" of the Central Cavalry Corps, and the trumpet of the charge sounded six times, and all the cavalry must have lined up the formation of the charge, and if there is any delay, they will be killed immediately Reuben's eyes immediately glowed with a strange brilliance "My lord is the whip of Thor, the whip of Thor" The two deputies under him are also old soldiers, and when they hear it, they can hear the difference in the military horn "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements from the empire have arrived" Although no one spoke, the tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers above the city had such a thought flashing in their hearts at the same time Suddenly, a loud and thick voice resounded throughout the land: "Wolf Fang" "Kill" tens of thousands of voices shouted at the same time Immediately, the sky was full of clouds The black, oppressive figure on the high slope immediately rolled like a dark cloud under the wind, and countless horses' hooves beat the earth, and the dull sound seemed to smash into people's hearts The knight with the banner at the head took the lead, and then the people on the hillside became more and more like ants, and the black-pressed cavalry army rushed down Under the midday sun, the flaming red flag seemed to be soaring and burning, and the brilliant tulips were boiling and burning in the flames "It's the battle flag of tulips" Reuben was dumbfounded, his eyes were full of incredible gazes, his mouth muttered, the muscles in the corners of his eyes were also trembling slightly, and then, two rays of essence suddenly burst out of his eyes, and his face was filled with a strange look again "It's the Tulip Battle Banner Tulip Battle Banner" The soldiers of the empire shouted in surprise, and the voice went from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, and then from a thousand to ten thousand ` Staying up late at night, writing a little less, no way, I can't bear it.
I have to get up to write during the day, and I have to save the manuscript.
But I promise there will be an update in the public version tonight.
The update time is still the old rule, twelve o'clock, in order to rush the list.
I saw someone in the book review section asking me which two books I have in the whole book.
Here's a story: One is a city book of about 800,000 words, with the theme of urban YY.
The other one is a hippie smile with more than 100,000 words, an urban emotional theme.
Both of these are complete books, both at the starting point.
In addition, I also said that this book will definitely be the whole book, after all, there are already two books, and I can't smash my own signboard, not to say that I also like to read, so I deeply understand the pain of meeting a eunuch halfway through reading
