Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 164 Complete Victory (5)
Thank you. Please call me the monthly ticket of Skirmisher. Thank you!
However, among the pirates crowded in front of the city gate, some of them were really lucky. After the fire was ignited, they were able to quickly jump and move out of the city while the people behind were burned to death and escaped.
He went to the door and ran outside.
Although the outside at this time was also a purgatory on earth, at least it was not like the crowded city gate cave. There was no place to hide. They were stuffed into the oven like cleaned and spiced roast chickens.
in.
At this time, Wolf Lord Asedan, who was commanding from the periphery, already knew that he had fallen into the defenders' trick. Not only had he fallen into the trap, but he had also lost hundreds of his men in vain. Now, the more than 500 pirates he led,
Since the beginning of the war, nearly half of our men have been lost.
Asedan's eyes were red and his eyes were wide open. He looked at the defenders on the top of the city who kept firing arrows. His chest rose and fell rapidly. It seemed that he was very angry. He pointed at the top of Nolandenburg and wanted to speak.
say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood, which frightened the captain and guards around him. At this time, a pirate leader beside him asked anxiously: "Dad,
Let’s retreat quickly, okay?”
Arsedan, who was supported by his own guard captain, looked pale. He nodded weakly and said: "Retreat to the wooden castle first. We still have three hundred people. We can't go back in despair after suffering such a big loss."
.”
The leader saw that his boss was still unwilling to give up. Although he wanted to persuade someone, he saw that the fire in front of the city gate was getting bigger and bigger. He didn't say anything more and quickly commanded everyone to retreat in place of Asedan.
Seeing the pirates tuck their tails and run away like beaten dogs, even ignoring the pirates who were on fire below the city, Barrett and Gamlin on the city laughed happily, and the other guards
Jun heard their laughter and laughed too.
They laughed while continuing to shoot the pirates who were still alive. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Fort Norland militia, only the dead Toba pirates were not a threat.
When these pirates saw that their companions had abandoned themselves who were burned by the fire, they also became desperate. They fled even more hurriedly. Many of them fell from the high ground below the square in front of the castle gate in the panic.
Cliff.
More than a dozen pirates covered in flames fell from a height of tens of feet. Like fireworks, they streaked across the night sky before dawn and disappeared without a trace. Only the corpses of a few pirates were set on fire.
Bushes under the city.
However, when building the castle, Riano had already done fire protection design. Many of the trees and shrubs on the top of the wind and cloud were cut down, leaving only a chess grid like a garden, with four sides of each chess grid.
They are all composed of low walls made of cement and stones.
In this way, it can not only prevent landslides in rainy days, but also isolate each chess square in the event of a fire, preventing a fire in one place from becoming a mountain-wide fire.
At this time, seeing the fire at the city gate and hearing the wailing of hundreds of companions, the five pirates under the west wall also understood what was going on. They had fallen into a trap!
When they saw the other pirates retreating down the mountain without looking back, the five of them also ran down the mountain. But it was easy to get here, but it would be troublesome to go back.
Arrows were fired from the city on the west side, making their shields clang, making it difficult to move forward.
At this time, the defenders at the top of the city shouted to them, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender. However, this group of die-hard pirates surrendered so easily. After hearing the defenders' persuasion to surrender, they not only did not put down their weapons and negotiate, but became quarrelsome.
He started scolding people.
Although the defenders on the city couldn't quite understand what these pirates were chattering about, they could feel their contempt and resentment. Since they didn't want to give them face, then the defenders of Fort Nolandenburg
There is no need for the soldiers to be polite.
I saw a crazy rain of stones falling, and the five pirates who refused to surrender were stoned to death. The brains of two pirates were smashed out. Although they were all wearing helmets, it was of no use.
.
At this time, on the roof of Green Hill Village, after watching the barbecue party, Balian and Bess, Eomer and Mark looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Now the fish belly has appeared in the east. Brother Bess, Eomer, the rest depends on you two. If the battle can be resolved in the morning, we will have a celebration banquet tonight!" Balian said loudly.
"Hahaha!" Bess laughed loudly and beat his chest wildly. He said: "It is too easy for us, the Norlandenburg Infantry Regiment, to clean up these crippled pirates. Besides, sir, you
Another clever plan is to annihilate them before noon, which is not a problem."
Eomer on the side also nodded and said to Balian: "Brother Bess is right. If we can't deal with these burned-out pirates anymore, we will eat so much white bread in vain! I will eat cow dung every day from now on."
Come on."
After hearing what Eomer said, everyone burst out laughing again. His statement was so interesting that everyone present was amused.
Balian patted his shoulder and said to him with a smile: "I don't want you to eat cow dung every day. Bring me Arthedain's head, and you will eat white bread for every meal from now on!"
"Hehe!" Eomer smiled, "Okay, sir, I will eat white bread every day. Oh, no, I will bring you the head of the pirate leader."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again when they heard this.
After everyone's laughter stopped, Balian said solemnly to everyone: "A field battle is no better than a city defense battle. There are many emergencies and huge variables. You two commanders must stay calm.
In addition, you should also pay attention to safety when you come. Although it is heartbreaking to kill a soldier in battle, you can still continue recruiting. If something goes wrong with you two, my losses will be huge.
You must take good care of yourself, I will pray like fire, may he bless you."
After saying that, Balion hugged Bess and Eomer. They were also very touched, but they didn't say anything. There weren't many words between the grown men, so they nodded solemnly.
After explaining to them, Balian called Rochiel and Greenberg over and asked their cavalry to prepare, together with the Norandenburg Infantry Regiment, to defeat the remaining pirates in the field.
.
Of course, upon entering the battlefield, the command of the cavalry was handed over to Bess, a commander with a knighthood. Rohirr and Grimbor also expressed in front of Balian that they would definitely listen to Sir Bess's words.
Explaining each other's responsibilities and affiliations clearly before the war is to avoid arguing about these things after the war. Although it may not happen among them, there are so many examples in the history of previous lives. Balian feels that it is better to be in advance.
