Chapter 5 The Battle of the Castle (2)
Wang Qinian and his friends rushed into the old castle that had long been abandoned on their feet.
Although it is an abandoned castle, it is much stronger than that town anyway. The walls of the castle are seven or eight meters high and have a considerable thickness, which can accommodate considerable manpower to deploy defenses on the wall.
However, the moat had long been exhausted, leaving only the lost cable bridge, and the gate of the castle was gone and demolished by the townsmen.
I don't know who built this castle before. The residents of the town once thought about moving in, but the person who moved in disappeared for no reason after a year, and even the body could not be found. So no one dared to approach the castle at night.
Maybe there is something strange about this castle, but compared to Ante Ant Man who has already chased after him, it is worth hiding in no matter how dangerous it is.
As soon as he rushed into the castle, Wang Qinian began to distribute personnel, and now he has become the commander invisibly.
He commanded half of the wood elves, as well as the orcs, half orc slaves guarded the entrance of the castle. Yes, it was the end of the sling bridge, where the original gate of the castle was located.
If the castle is intact, it should be a way to raise the sling bridge and close the gate. Even without a moat, Ant Ant Man will find it difficult to jump onto the city wall seven or eight meters high. Perhaps they can use some simple tools to attack the city, but the condescending city guards will make them suffer.
But now it is not as beautiful as expected. The sling bridge cannot be raised, and the gate of the castle is broken, which is equivalent to being unobstructed. If you want to defend, you only need to rely on your life to pile it up. The best place to defend is at the entrance. If Ant Ant Man rushed in, then the unlucky one will be Wang Qienian and the others. Of course, you must also pray that Ant Man will not chase you in large quantities.
"What are you responsible for?" Xi Rui, the current leader of the wood elf, opened his eyes wide. Under Wang Qinian's arrangement, the wood elf's casualties will be extremely heavy.
"We are responsible for searching in this castle immediately to see if there is anything that can be used." Wang Qinian said without looking back.
The others suddenly realized that the wood elves who were not arranged to guard the entrance also scattered and searched in the castle, hoping to find something that could be used for combat.
Soon, the messy weapons or tools were found by the wood elves, including ragged farm tools, and sticks crawling around by borers, and rusty spears.
"Damn it!" Wang Qinian shouted in anger. I don't know how many years this castle has been, or decades or hundreds of years. Most of the tools inside have probably been broken long ago. Some iron products, such as weapons, and so on, that they were placed in conspicuous places, may have been moved away by greedy residents in the town. If someone hadn't disappeared inexplicably, they might have been moved cleaner.
"There should be a weapon storage room." Bernhard reminded that there was a flash of light in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" Wang Qinian said.
"I'm sure, although I've never been here, there must be such a room in the castle, where some weapons and armor will be placed, and even bows and arrows."
Wang Qinian clenched his fists, "I will definitely find it."
Just as he was about to walk away from the empty room in front of him, he suddenly exclaimed and retreated. In the corridor, there was a headless iron statue as high as 1.8 meters tall. Oh, it was not an iron statue.
It was a complete set of heavy infantry equipment built together like a human figure. Perhaps there was some filling inside, which was placed there majestic, without a helmet.
Of course, Wang Qinian didn't know that someone had taken away the helmet at the beginning, so later it was said that it was because of the helmet that the ghost hidden in the armor that someone disappeared, so this set of heavy infantry equipment was preserved.
It is really quite complete. In addition to the iron full-body armor, there is also a spear made of fine iron, which still looks very sharp and shines with a cold light under Wang Qinian's fire break.
Wang Qinian sighed, "Good thing."
"Old John, Old John, come here!" he shouted.
After a while, he called the slave hunters and "put it on."
The eyes of the slave hunters lit up and they began to dismantle and help Old John put on. Unfortunately, although Old John was the most powerful among the people, he seemed very inconvenient after wearing this set of iron armor.
"Prepare it first and go out to help." Wang Qinian waved his hand. A scream had already come from the entrance of the castle. The wood elf and Ant Ant-Man had encountered it.
It was the time when they returned, and the wood elves used the tools or broken weapons they had found to fight fiercely with the chase Ant Ant Man.
This battle is indeed much better than when rushing out of the town. First of all, the terrain is advantageous. Although the castle does not have a gate, the wood elves line up and block the corridor at the entrance. It is not so easy for Ante Ant Man to rush in. There are walls on both sides. The wood elves only need to pay attention to the front and don’t worry about the sides. However, the wood elves are still suffering a lot. The natural toughness of Ante Ant Man’s skin makes them have the protection of light and thin leather armor. Although the wood elves have some weapons, their defense is really weak.
Fortunately, under the leadership of the female patrol captain Xiri, the wood elves were very brave. They lined up without retreating. Once someone was injured, they would retreat and let other partners make up. The injured person had a short rest and the wound condensed, and they would ask for another battle again.
"The bow and arrow must be found." Wang Qinian said to himself. It would be a waste to let the wood elves fight like this.
"Old John, let's not give him that Changrou, he can't walk anymore, just let him hold his sword, OK, if you can move, you will be allowed to take the iron shield."
In addition to the helmet, Old John was fully armed at this time. Wang Qinian took off his spear and gave it to another slave-catching team member, only allowing him to carry the much lighter snake-shaped sword to fight. Anyway, he was mainly used as a meat shield.
Old John had a very good effect after he came out of the battle. He rushed to the front. Although he stood in the corridor, his attack was very inconvenient due to his own weight, it attracted most of the attacks from Ant Ant Man, which greatly reduced the pressure on the wood elves.
The iron armor on his body was too hard, and Ant Ant-Man could not damage it, but was forced to retreat.
"Don't rush out of the corridor, just block there and fight them!" Wang Qinian shouted.
The crisis seems to be temporarily lifted. Apart from the more than twenty left at the beginning, the Ant Ant Man who was chasing him has only added less than twenty more. Relying on the terrain, it can be completely defended.
But don’t you really have to worry? Wang Qinian looked at the environment. There was a special arrow tower on the wall, and there were wood elfs on his hands. If there were bows and arrows, if there were bows and arrows.
Cheers came from the corridor, and Ant Antman left behind after leaving more than a dozen bodies.
Both the wood elves and the slave hunting team members jumped up with joy. Wang Qinian was also very happy and ordered Old John and half of the wood elves to rest in the corridor. He arranged for people to serve as police whistles on the wall. The female elf Xirui volunteered to receive the mission.
Next, Wang Qinian continued to search in the castle and finally found the storage room he had always wanted to find. It was indeed equipped with about twenty spears and short swords, and several pairs of leather armor. However, the most important thing was to find the bow and arrow, about seven or eight bows and sufficient arrows.
"Okay!" Wang Qinian shouted, and was excited. The wood elf got the bow, making it easier to defend.
He called someone and moved the things out in a slight manner. A bad news came from Siri, and Ante came again.
To be precise, they were brought over by someone. Looking from the wall, you can see several figures rushing out of the town and running towards the castle. So a large number of Ant Ant-Man in the town were also attracted.
Wang Qinian's face suddenly changed. It was a good thing to find weapons and bows and arrows, but even twice as many bows and arrows, they might not be able to defend Ante Ant Man's large army.
"Hope is just a tribe." Bernhard did not seem particularly scared or relaxed from the beginning, but at this time he saw more Antes being attracted, and his brows could not help but frown.
"Even if it's just a tribe, we can't hold on." Wang Qinian whispered.
There are more than 500 people in an Ant-Man tribe, but it is terrible that their entire population is full of soldiers, which means there are more than 500 soldiers.
The number of Ant-Man who has been brought here is more than twice the number of people in the castle. If more Ant-Man comes, this castle without a gate will definitely not be able to be kept.
Bernhard smiled and did not respond.
About seven or eight people rushed out of the town, and two dog-like animals followed, but Ant-Man kept chasing behind.
The two sides fought desperately while advancing towards the castle, and people continued to die during the advancement, but at least two to three Ante Ant-man died after each human race fell.
This is mainly because three of the seven or eight people were particularly powerful. Wang Qinian had already seen them clearly. They were the three leaders of the slave capturing team, Cockland, Taxman, and his teacher, Zanqi.
Wang Qinian quickly weighed the pros and cons. If he went out to rescue them at this time, the advantage was that he might save Cockland and the others. This time his combat power would be greatly increased. With these three people, the castle would be easier to defend.
But there are also very obvious disadvantages. Going out to rescue these three people will inevitably lead all Antes to come. In addition, Zanqi and his team entered the castle. It is hard to say whether their mixed team, mainly composed of wood elves and slave hunting teams, can be as united as they are now, and Zanqi probably won't allow him to have the current command power.
Wang Qinian silently watched Taxman being knocked down by a black ant warrior and never spoke.
As soon as Taxman was knocked to the ground, except for the black ant warrior, three or four ant engineers rushed up and rolled and fought on the ground. Soon they all became bloody and bloody.
Only Cockland and Zanzi were left. Seeing Taxman's misery, they had no intention of turning back and continued to run forward.
Both of them were already in rags, and the snake-shaped sword in Cockland's hand was gone, with only a severely deformed dagger.
Zanqi was a little decent. He had two condom wolves around him. Although he didn't have much magic left, condom wolves helped him withstand several times, giving him the chance to run all the time.
The castle was getting closer and closer, and Cochrane's face twisted strangely, and she gasped, "It's almost here, it's almost here. As long as I can rest in it, your disciples and the elves are inside, and Old John."
But the Ante Ant people are getting closer and closer. Perhaps they will intercept them before entering the castle, unless the people in the castle are willing to come out to rescue them.
