Chapter 446 The fierce battle in front of the governor's residence
When the operation to "save the big fish Enleco" was progressing fairly smoothly, the situation on the pirate side also eased slightly on the frontal battlefield.
The Barbary pirates have a high proportion of Dagon priests, as well as spellcasters from the Ottomans. After the initial chaos, they have begun to cast support magic according to the long-established division of labor.
Their spells slightly reduced the Austrian side's armor advantage.
Ozil initiated and undertook the task of rescuing Enleco on his own, so Hayredin could focus all his energy on the battle with Frundsberg.
Several pirate side spellcasters and priests cast "War Tide" and "Group Support" and "Mass Bull Power" on the Barbary pirates.
They also have the responsibility of being the liaison between pirates on different ships, and there are often conflicts between different pirate ships.
The Austrian side does not have this kind of command pressure. In this small-scale battle, the Austrian elite can make spontaneous adjustments.
Although various magical auras flashed among the enemy troops, Ladislaus, who was standing on the rooftop, was not worried at all.
He could clearly see that the opponent's formation was still being bent more and more curved. Although several support spells slowed down the breakthrough, Ladislaus was not in a hurry.
His army is on the outskirts, and thousands of main troops are entering the city. Victory must belong to him.
The pirates scattered around the port of Trieste who were looting and plundering were certainly inferior to the elites around Hayreddin, and they would not be able to resist the heavily armored regular army.
Ladislaus's focus was still on the big fish.
When Ozil mobilized his troops, he had already blocked it. He used trebuchets.
The provincial government compound is actually the inner city of the Port of Trieste. Although it cannot be compared with those fortified inner cities, there is indeed a small trebuchet on the rooftop.
However, there was no mage around Ladislaus who could use the "Tan Shure Aiming Technique", so the stones thrown by the small trebuchet had no idea where they went.
Because it is a small trebuchet, the sound it makes is not loud, so it does not even have the effect of deterring the enemy.
On the noisy battlefield, two consecutive attacks had no effect at all and were not even noticed by the enemy.
This was the result of the elite shooting around Ladislaus. This result made Ladislaus hand the trebuchet back to the local shooting team, which was busy. Anyway, it couldn't be worse than this.
There were also some civilian and logistical personnel in the building who also started shooting at the pirates from windows and balconies with bows and arrows and mechanical crossbows from the government arsenal.
These shooters were originally evenly distributed in the buildings surrounding the four walls of the government compound, and a small number of pirates also appeared in other directions of the building.
The wall of the government compound is so short that two pirates can climb over it with a team of arhats.
However, a small number of other pirates did not launch a diversionary attack at all after the main force was counterattacked by the Austrian elite.
Therefore, the Austrian shooters can gradually gather towards the gate.
The front line at the gate was already crowded together, and most of the makeshift shooters did not dare to shoot in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces. Only a few confident local officers were carrying out supporting shooting.
The shooters below Ladislaus were not injured by accident, but those shots were obviously not likely to cause much damage to the enemy's shield array.
Ozil found a way to keep that steady arrow.
"one two three."
"Hey."
Following the rhythm of the shouts, seven or eight Ottoman soldiers lifted Enleco's body up. Then they retreated and used the weight of Enleco's body to break the bow and arrow.
Although he screamed in pain, Enleco breathed a sigh of relief because he knew he would be saved soon.
"careful!"
But Ozil's roar suddenly started again.
"Poof!"
After the ominous sound, the burning sensation was violently transmitted from the subcutaneous nerves to the brain again. This time it was not the pain caused by a weapon. It was the pain caused by real flames.
Although the others only have one ration of flame magic arrows, Count Slam has two.
He used this magic arrow again at a critical moment.
Although the power of the explosion was not that great compared to last time, it was enough to break up the shield array protecting Enleco.
The fleeing Ottoman soldiers exposed the big fish, and countless bows and arrows immediately flew towards it.
The power of these bows and arrows is not enough to cause any damage. Even several of Count Slam's subordinates who are skilled in archery can hardly penetrate its skin with ordinary bows and arrows.
What really caused Enleco pain was the flame with the magical power of Cassus.
Even the power given by Dagon could not resist this damage.
Enleco jumped violently, trying to get as far away from the flames as possible.
The treatment just now allowed his muscles to regain strength. After a few bounces, Enleco felt that the burning sensation was greatly reduced.
Although there is still a little flame on his body, it is far away from the gathering place of flames on the ground.
Enleco was confident that he could handle the flames with his own strength.
"ah."
"Gather the fire and use the throwing axe."
A burst of confusion came from the Ottoman soldiers again, and Enleco jumped up and down a few times.
At this time, it still couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. It just instinctively realized that something was wrong and jumped up again.
Enleco's jump in order to get away from the flames happened to be in a direction that was unfavorable to it. It was too close to the wall of the government compound.
It's so close that Jarlaxle can jump directly onto it from the rooftop.
Jarlaxle had been soothing his numb arm after that crucial shot just now. He was not a warrior whose specialty was shooting.
Although the drow's bow-making skills are superior to those of humans, the full blow just now caused him to temporarily lose his combat effectiveness.
Jarlaxle could not accept Ozil's efforts to allow Enleco to recover, and he urgently needed to fully demonstrate his value in this battle.
Although his arrow has overwhelmed everyone in the field, and even Count Slam secretly sighed in his heart, but that is the perspective of a professional. Ladislaus cannot be sure that it was his arrow that caused Enleco to lose.
Ability to move.
Because of the obvious competitive relationship, Count Slam would never explain such a thing.
If he couldn't kill the big fish, Jarlaxle's efforts would get little attention.
Although Lu Yao knew the power and Jarlaxle's strength would definitely be recognized, Jarlaxle knew that gaining trust was a critical and urgent matter for him, and his process of joining Austria was not even a pre-battle uprising.
If he fails to make great achievements this time, his life will be very difficult for a long time to come.
In order to quickly get a better position within the Austrian system, Jarlaxle fought hard.
After a run-up on the rooftop, he rolled towards Enleco from the sky.
Although Ozil discovered his attack in time and ordered to attack him with throwing weapons such as hatchets.
Although these soldiers were well-trained, how accurate could the Ottoman warriors be when their formation was disrupted by the magic flame arrows, and they had to throw their weapons without any preparation.
