Chapter 62 The First-Order Soldier Troop of 3,000 People
Fortunately, the pirates did not have too many trebuchets. There were only four in total. Although they were throwing continuously, it still took time to load the stones, so they did not cause much damage to the Messiah wall.
.
But even so, the pirates cannot continue to be arrogant. After all, the soldiers on the city wall have already developed a panic mentality. If they are allowed to attack for a while, their morale may be destroyed.
"charge!"
Seeing the pirates' ballistae advancing slowly, we must not let the ballistae reach the firing position at this time! If the trebuchet cooperates with the ballistae, then this battle will be really difficult!
Making a prompt decision, Arthur and Hannibal mounted their horses together and prepared to go out to fight out of the city. Although Arthur was not very good at riding horses, he was at least not clueless. He could barely run without any problems.
This time when he went out to fight in the city, Arthur said that soldiers were more expensive than elites, so only a hundred fully armed elite knights followed him, and the rest of the knights stayed behind to defend the city together with the soldiers defending the pirates.
Following Hannibal's order, the door to the Messiah was gradually opened. Hannibal took the lead and rushed towards the enemy's formation.
This is really a desperate move. If you charge so hard, aren't you afraid that the pirates' ballistae will shoot you into a sieve first?
Fortunately, although the pirates have a lot of ballistae, they are all rough and inferior products. The shooting distance is only about four to five hundred meters, but that is already the limit, only within the range of two hundred meters.
, these ballistas can have a real killing effect, so the most dangerous place is only two hundred meters away from the front of the ballista.
"Stop! Everyone dismount!"
But just after leaving the city, before everyone could take a few steps, Arthur suddenly ordered everyone to stop. This order stunned everyone. What was going on?
"What do you want to do?" Hannibal rushed the fastest, but Arthur had already stopped, so he could only turn the horse's head, and returned to Arthur with great displeasure and asked.
You know, for a knight, speed is life, especially in this kind of outdoor combat. Once the knight loses speed, his combat effectiveness will be lost at least half, so if he stops charging now, what kind of situation is he playing?
?
"Everyone stand behind me! Your goal this time is to protect me, not to kill the enemy!" Although he is on the battlefield, Arthur is not Hannibal's subordinate, and he does not need to obey Hannibal's orders. On the contrary,
As protectors, they must also obey Arthur's command. This was an order that Karina personally gave to her knights before setting off.
Although they were very unconvinced, they had to listen to the words of the city lord. Therefore, under Arthur's order just now, all the knights collectively reined in their horses. Otherwise, who would care what Arthur said.
"You..." Hannibal was furious. In fact, Arthur's words were indeed very irritating.
What are we doing here if we don't kill the enemy? Is our mission just to protect you and play this kind of children's house game with you? Don't you know the importance of this battle?
Just when Hannibal wanted to scold Arthur, he saw a spell suddenly chanted in Arthur's mouth, and then, Hannibal found a light blue magic circle unfolding under Arthur's feet, and then
Continuously, there were countless small magic arrays unfolding in front of him. What on earth was going on?
Hannibal was confused by the sudden magic circle, but soon, an astonishing scene appeared!
As the light of the magic circle gradually dissipated, a whole group of fully armed soldiers appeared in front of everyone. Each of these soldiers was seen wearing full steel armor, holding a sword in their right hand and a huge shield in their left hand.
As soon as he appeared, he exuded an amazing momentum.
Looking at the number of people, these warriors holding giant shields must be at least two thousand. That's right, two thousand!
But this was not over yet. Next, the magic circle under Arthur's feet spread again, and a new batch of summons started!
This time, the soldiers summoned by Arthur were also wearing steel helmets, but the weapons in their hands were all turned into spears. As for the number, they were almost a thousand.
Observe carefully, these soldiers are all first-order warriors! How is this possible! A troop of three thousand first-class warriors, although it is nothing in the eyes of other big countries, but in the eyes of Messiah
, this scene is absolutely rare to see!
"The defenders are responsible for defense, the spearmen are ready for attack, target the enemy's siege weapons, charge!"
Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Arthur directly gave orders to the three thousand soldiers he had just summoned. After all, time was running out, and if he could gain one more minute, Messiah would be able to reduce casualties.
After receiving Arthur's order, the three thousand soldiers immediately took action. Different from ordinary soldiers, these soldiers under Arthur were all very disciplined. In less than thirty seconds,
The three thousand men were in formation, and when Arthur's sword fell, he immediately launched an attack on the pirates.
What an elite troop this is. The knights behind Arthur were so surprised that they could not open their mouths from ear to ear. This kind of tacit cooperation between each other, but these knights have always longed for. It is obviously a large troop of three thousand people, but
At this moment, it seems like they are one whole body.
Those warriors with swords and shields who rushed at the front walked in neat steps, quickly and without disorder, forming a solid shield wall, while the warriors with guns followed closely behind, ready to assist and attack at any time.
.
The pirates on the opposite side were obviously confused by the sudden appearance of three thousand troops. So many enemies appeared out of nowhere, and right in front of them, which was completely beyond everyone's expectation.
However, even if there was some commotion, the pirates responded immediately and began to counterattack Arthur's troops.
At a distance of almost two hundred meters, the ballistae on the opposite side began to attack. More than thirty huge ballistae began to rotate. Although they were crudely made war weapons, their power should not be underestimated. It was only one ballistae, but it could
It can take away the lives of countless soldiers!
"Charge at full speed!"
The pirates' first wave of ballistae attack killed at least fifty people in Arthur's army. Even if they have giant shield defense, after all, the strength of these summoned troops is still very low. Unless they reach the fourth level, they will not be effective at all.
Defend against these ballistae.
Therefore, all Arthur can do now is to let these summoned troops charge as soon as possible.
Thanks to RRED, zeuscannon, lxzcil, Kamishiro Saki, and SABERALTER for their rewards.
