Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 136: The Battle of Nolandenburg (10)
"Hahaha!" The pirates laughed happily when they heard Orr's teasing. At this time, they didn't look dejected at all. This Orr is indeed a good pirate leader. It seems that he still has real abilities.
of.
Not long after Orr finished speaking, the pirates rushed out of the blind spot in groups of five or six, holding shields, and rushed up quickly. Their speed was very fast, and in a few breaths, they rushed to the gate of Fort Nolandenburg.
forward.
At this time, seeing Orr's team being frustrated by the fire attack, Asedan immediately ordered the second wave of troops to rush forward, following Orr's team, ready to add more at any time.
Orr saw that the second wave of people also rushed up, and when they charged, they ignored the plan of the archers on the city head and did not repeat the mistakes of their turtle shell formation. Instead, they rushed up quickly. Although they felt a little bit because of themselves.
It's annoying to set up traps for people behind you, but more importantly, I feel secure and secure because of the solid support.
Orr and the others were very fast. The pirates put up two ladders under the city wall. There were two pirates holding down the bottom of each ladder to prevent it from being pushed down by the defenders above. There were also two pirates holding shields.
Use it as a shield for the pirates holding down the ladder.
After the ladder was set up, two groups of pirates immediately climbed up the ladder and attacked the city. There were also five or six archers shooting arrows at the city to provide cover. In front of the city gate, there was also a group of pirates divided into two groups: covering and attacking.
There was a violent impact on the gates of Fort Nolandenburg.
The pirate archers responsible for covering, although their bows are short, are compound bows. Balian and the others have seen them at Maple Leaf Manor. These pirate archers holding compound bows have very superb shooting skills and can shoot at tricky angles.
The people behind the battlements.
As soon as the pirates launched their attack, three militiamen on the top of the city were shot by the pirates below. Barrett also quickly organized his own archers to launch a counterattack. Although the shooting skills of the militia soldiers were not as good as those of the pirates, they
The victory was due to the large number of people and the powerful longbow, which also caused damage to the pirates in the first place.
Barrett, a man with very good shooting skills, also personally used the oversized longbow made of yew wood customized for him by Hama to kill two pirates who were climbing the ladder, scaring the remaining pirates.
Use a shield to protect yourself.
Although the archers on both sides were going back and forth and there was no winner or loser, Barrett and the others were not worried at all because they had prepared another special gift for the pirates, which was very delicious.
Orr's personal bodyguard, as the main siege force, climbed at the front on the ladder. He used his shield to block the arrows and stones shot from above. When he saw that he could climb up immediately, he began to wave his shield and use his shield to block the defenders.
The soldier stabbed the spear that came towards him, and then he yelled and jumped to the top of the city swinging his axe.
At this moment, he smelled a very unpleasant smell, and then heard the Brick yell, and then the hot and smelly mixture was poured on him, and towards the pirate who was climbing the ladder.
Splash it on them.
Alder's personal guard did not use a shield to cover his upper body at this time. He was splashed from the head down. He let out an unpleasant scream of "ah" and fell down without holding on to the ladder.
.
Falling from such a high place to the hard ground below, the pirate was immediately bleeding and his brains were splattered, and he died beyond hope.
As for the other pirates who were splashed, few could stay on the ladder. They either retreated quickly or fell down. However, their positions were not too high and they only broke their legs.
However, the two pirates who stayed below and held on to the ladder were miserable. Although the pirates who acted as shields for them could block arrows and stones, they could not stop the smelly and hot liquid mixture.
The shield flowed down, burning the two pirates below until they screamed and couldn't hold on to the ladder immediately.
When Barrett and Gamlin saw it, they quickly asked their men to push the ladder down with a push rod. The falling ladder also hit the pirates below, especially the pirates who broke their legs and had no time to move.
The pirates who used the ladder to climb the city suffered a big loss, and the pirates who hit the city gate with wooden sticks did not suffer much. Once these large buckets of hot and smelly stuff were poured on them, the pirates couldn't stand it for a long time.
However, the group of pirates who crashed into the city gate still resisted the temptation to block their fellow pirates who were carrying the logs below. However, they couldn't stand the strong smell and retreated outside together. After all, it was too disgusting.
Barrett laughed when he saw the pirates retreating behind seven or eight corpses. He said to Gamlin: "Gamlin, this secret weapon of yours truly is very effective. Although it is disgusting, it is really
It’s lethal.”
"Hahaha!" Gamlin also responded with a smile: "As long as the things are effective, besides, isn't it appropriate for disgusting things to deal with disgusting people? These bastards from Tuoba Island are already disgusting.
Want to vomit."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Barrett smiled and nodded in agreement, "Besides, the master also named this secret weapon. It's called golden soup, hahaha! Indeed, this yellow hot soup can indeed be used.
It’s called Golden Soup.”
This golden soup was a famous city-defending weapon in Balian's previous life. It was a disgusting liquid made from boiled human feces. After it was heated and boiled, it was poured on the enemies attacking the city. It could burn them to pieces in an instant.
Moreover, this dirty mixture itself carries a large amount of bacteria. Once burned by it, it can easily lead to inflammation and pus, which can lead to diseases such as muscle tissue necrosis, sepsis, etc. that cannot be treated in this world.
This golden soup can be regarded as a biochemical weapon in the Middle Ages. Although the use of biochemical weapons is absolutely prohibited in modern civilized society, in this different world where Balian lives, there is no ban on biochemical weapons, so naturally they can be used without any scruples.
Although it does not sound like a good word to use any means necessary to achieve a goal, when people do things, they always have to do this, and there is no way around it. Society is not black and white, it has many gray things, and you must
Accept that it's okay to survive even in the black part, as long as you live in the right place for yourself and the people you want to protect, justice is a necessity, but survival is even more necessary.
Barrett and the others would not have any sympathy for this group of pirates who invaded their homeland. After all, these people dared to come and destroy the results they had worked so hard to achieve from scratch. From Barrett to the militia soldiers below, they would only wish that this group of pirates had invaded their homeland.
All the pirates who suffered from the plague died.
Moreover, Balian emphasized to them many times in the pre-war meeting that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and they must not be merciful.
