Amidst the rumbling cannons, fireworks scattered between the forts, burning objects being thrown from time to time, and the fireballs and smoke clouds from exploding cans, the Holy Kingdom army, which had attacked several times, also seemed to rise.
Like the tide at the end, they all retreated again.
The corpses of (Holy Kingdom) soldiers wearing different colors and striped robes, as well as broken flags and weapons were scattered all over the place. They attacked and retreated all the way. And this road was only two or three meters high.
The temporary fortifications and city walls are still almost intact.
There were just some traces of smoke and fire, and it was stained red and black by the blood. The Free Army soldiers on the wall even raised their weapons with enough force, bared their teeth or claws at them, or looked at them with contempt.
There were bursts of demonstrative shouts and jeers.
Because, in the continuous battles that took turns, they at least repelled or defeated the offensives of at least four knights with different banners; they even used tacit cooperation siege and intensive firearms fire on the spot to kill several people who rushed up the wall.
of the great knight, and captured his flag.
Among them was a knight who was suspected to have awakened his blood. During the rampage, he was knocked off the wall and tied up with his hands and feet by targeted means during the rampage. He became a prisoner of the Free Army. But at the same time, Jiang Tian was standing
The towering cliffs watched all this silently.
Until the open area of the valley floor in the distance, a larger and more gorgeous flag appeared. It was a golden lion flag with a red background; there was a light blue triangular broken edge on the corner. It represented the region from the Holy Kingdom of Aquitaine.
, a knighthood named after Princess Enoli, who swore lifelong chastity.
He was also the leader of the plan to intervene in the southwestern provinces of the Sealand Kingdom, and the leader/headquarters/knights headquarters of the Tomahawk Knights as the vanguard of the invasion. Then, amid the sound of a sharp trumpet, Jiang Tian
I also saw many heavily armored knights filing out.
The knights who went into battle this time were not wearing the medium and light armor that the previous knights wore, which consisted of lock curtains, pierced armor, and iron scale armor; instead, they were wearing a large piece of plate armor that covered their entire body tightly; their mounts were also covered in armor.
The tall horse wears a smock and a protective iron leaf.
It was like a repeat of past history. These extremely tall and sturdy heavily armored knights were holding their own flags. After appearing in the assembled army, they immediately set off a mountain of cheers and cheered up.
The morale of the original attack was dampened.
"Sir, we are ready and waiting for your order." Later, Jiang Gao Shence also called Duval, and the inheritance knights respectfully asked for instructions: Not only did they wear tailor-made
The armor is also equipped with combat accessories for various purposes.
"No rush, wait a minute, you should trust your comrades." Jiang Tian replied in a low voice without turning his head, but his eyes were watching those heavy armors who began to take the lead in charging against the wall in the dust.
Knight. "Yes! Sir" Duval also squatted down after hearing this.
I saw flames and smoke clouds suddenly spitting out from the gaps in the prefabricated wall; but the artillery positions arranged in it also began to fire; one after another, the artillery pieces drew a parabola, and the attacking team
The shape exploded into piles of earth, rocks and broken limbs.
However, compared to the casualties of ordinary soldiers, the heavily armored knights among them suffered almost no losses; most of them seemed to be able to avoid oncoming blows in time. Only a few of them lost their mounts.
, but soon caught up on foot.
After the round of shelling fell silent, there were rows of firecrackers on the wall, and arrows flying in the sky from behind the wall. This time, there were more heavily armored knights,
He lost his mount or fell to the ground, but stood up quickly.
I saw them holding kite-shaped iron shields filled with arrows or being beaten and clanking, crossing the ranks of the infantry with heavy casualties; it also inspired them to cheer up again and quickly approached the wall. The next moment
, some people jumped up, and some people smashed the wall.
However, the heavily armored knights who stepped on the piled corpses and jumped up, trying to climb up the wall, were met with counterattacks from hook guns and scythes from behind the wall. Although they could not do much decent damage to the heavy armor on their bodies,
Although he was injured, he successfully pushed it away.
On the other hand, those knights who were wielding axes, hammers, edged clubs, and pickaxes and struggling to smash the walls were also in trouble. Although the walls of cement prefabricated panels were covered with flying debris, they were damaged by them.
Knocked hard, there were bumps and bumps; but no cracks appeared at all.
Then, with a chorus of shouts, the wall suddenly threw out gunpowder cans and Molotov cocktails like raindrops; trails of smoke fell on their helmets, armor, and around their legs and feet, making crisp clanking sounds. There were also others.
Then he was crushed on the spot by a heavy armored knight with a hammer.
In an instant, a viscous solution composed of naphtha, sawdust and resin rose up and ignited, enveloping the heavily armored knight; and as he screamed in panic,
The screams spread into many sparks and sparks, contaminating more people.
Then, gunpowder cans exploded one after another at the feet of the knights under the wall, and clouds of smoke and fragments of gunpowder jars exploded one after another. On the spot, the billowing air waves overturned and knocked them down one after another, and all kinds of flying debris made them fall.
Ordinary soldiers screamed and called for help again and again...
Although the heavily armored knights who were knocked down or overturned quickly stood up slowly with the help of other soldiers, their movements and reactions had become significantly slower. Some people even
Staggering and unsteady, or falling down again.
Obviously, the internal organs and external senses have been damaged to varying degrees. There are still people who are constantly wiping the masks, and there are bits of blood dripping down... But Duval, who saw this scene, was filled with regret.
He touched his chest and shoulders.
That was the place where he was burned and injured in the battle under the city of Avignon. Although he had completely healed without leaving any scars due to the physical constitution and medicine inherited from his blood. But seeing this familiar scene again, he was surprised.
It also gave him inexplicable phantom limb pain.
However, these heavily armored knights, who withstood most of the Free Army's attacks, still created more opportunities for their own troops to attack. The sergeants who followed were already carrying short ladders that had been prepared again.
And they were piled up on the wall and flocked to them.
"The time has come and we are ready to enter the battlefield!" At this time, the heritage knights headed by Duval finally heard the order from the legion commander (Jiang Tian): "Send a signal to the other side and let them take action first."
Following a few flashes of lens reflections on the mountaintop, a simple signal was transmitted. On the other side of the canyon open area, on the top of the cliff with sparse vegetation, a dull vibration suddenly came; however, after waiting for a while,
It turned into a piece of rolling earth and rocks that suddenly collapsed.
It's just that the place where the mountain collapse occurred was a bit far away from the main formation of the Holy Kingdom army; it couldn't even reach the outlying sentries who were on guard. However, this brief and continuous movement also successfully attracted most of them.
The attention and sight of most people.
However, the next moment, among the officers standing under the gorgeous red-backed gold lion flag, some people could not help but scream; because, on the other side of the collapsed mountain, there were groups of armored men in blue robes.
The knights, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, slid down from the top of the cliff one after another.
Then, they followed the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, breaking through and passing through countless vegetation and shrubs without any interruption, and launched a charge towards their position.
