"Sir, our people rushed over!" At the same time, the captains and commanders of the Northern Principality on the other side of the river finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although I suffered some losses due to underestimating the enemy, the outcome was pretty good.
More importantly, they will have the opportunity to obtain the secret weapon of the Agate Principality.
As long as a sample of this secret weapon is obtained, it can be brought back for craftsmen to imitate. This achievement is definitely not small.
"Court, there are at least four or five titled knights on the opposite side. When our guards occupy the other side's river bank, you guys will immediately go there on a raft. In addition to dealing with those titled knights, you must also capture the secret weapon as soon as possible. You must not
Let the people of the Agate Principality destroy it on their own!" Huck ordered with a smile to Deputy Commander Court and several captains.
Although their army is not a group of extraordinary knights, as the leader and several captain officers who hold the battle, they are full of fighting spirit.
For example, Commander Harker himself is an intermediate silver knight. In addition, Deputy Commander Nacourt is a junior silver knight. As for the other thousand-man captains, they are also peak bronze knights.
"Yes, Lord Commander!" Several captains responded one after another.
Next, under the watchful eyes of the generals of the northern principality, the second and third waves of guards were also transported.
With the support of these two waves of nearly a thousand people, the number of Northern Principality guards on the other side instantly reached more than 1,500. They were able to beat the Tulip family guards back steadily, and there were even more redundant Northern Principality guards trying to get around.
Behind the stone bridge, Nalant's headquarters was attacked from both front and back.
Fortunately, Nalant's dozen storm knights were not vegetarians. Under the leadership of Quick, they directly designated the area around the stone bridge as a restricted area.
As long as the guards of the Northern Principality approach, they will be mercilessly crushed by the Storm Riders.
However, even so, the defeat of the Agate Principality has already appeared. If there are no other changes, I believe that as long as the fourth wave of guards from the Northern Principality arrives, there will be no suspense about today's battle.
In particular, several generals from the Northern Principality were already standing by the river, waiting for the raft to dock.
"Narant, there are too many enemies. Let's start retreating. Otherwise, it will be too late when more enemies reach the shore!"
At this time, Stella and Boris Rael gathered in front of Nalant with solemn expressions.
Several people had blood stains on their bodies, and Stella's original snow-white cloak was stained red.
Obviously, since the previous battle was very fierce, and it was felt that the situation was on the verge of collapse.
"Wait a minute, you guys continue to hold on for a while. I still have new weapons that I haven't taken out yet. If that doesn't work, we'll retreat again!" Nalant didn't want to retreat yet, he wanted to continue to support for a while.
"Are there new weapons?" Stella, Boris, and Rael didn't understand what Nalant meant.
In this situation, even if five more ballistas arrive, the disadvantage will still be irreversible. After all, the enemy has already landed!
"Yes, you will see it soon!"
As he spoke, Narant looked towards the mound and saw five trebuchets being loaded.
Boom, boom, boom!
And just when the three of them didn't know whether to believe Nalant or persuade him to leave, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from the mountain behind.
Bang bang bang!
Ahhhh!
After the muffled sound, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground on the river banks on both sides of the stone bridge, accompanied by a large area of ​​miserable howling.
"This is... a trebuchet?" When the three of them turned their heads, they happened to see the fist-sized stones falling from the sky, hitting the people in the Northern Principality before they had time to reach the shore.
Then they were surprised to find the unprecedented trebuchet on the mound.
No, the trebuchet doesn't look like this.
In their impression, whether it is a large trebuchet or a small trebuchet, the most obvious appearance is that the base must be wide and strong, and the throwing arm must also be thick and long.
The most important thing is that there must be a counterweight at the front of the trebuchet, otherwise the stone cannot be thrown.
"It's not called a trebuchet, it's called a catapult!" Narant knew that several people would react like this.
With the experience of the crossbow cart, he hid the catapult very tightly during this period, dismantling it and putting it on the carriage, so not even Stella and others knew about it.
"Trebuchets? Na Lante, how do they launch? The lethality just launched does not look any different from a small trebuchet!" The three of them looked at Na Lante strangely.
"Because of its shape, my catapult does not use a counterweight to launch. Instead, like a ballista, it relies on the rubber bands of Warcraft to achieve the purpose of launching."
"However, although my catapult is easy to carry and the firing speed is relatively fast, it also has shortcomings, that is, it is not very powerful and the shooting distance is relatively short!"
"Narant, actually I still think that the best option is to evacuate as soon as possible. And now that we have your crossbows and catapults, we should evacuate them first to avoid falling into the hands of the Northern Principality."
However, after Stella learned about his catapult, she became more determined to evacuate immediately.
Because, even if catapults join, it is likely that the occupation will not be changed, because there are already enough enemies in Dengan at this time.
"I..." After hearing this, Nalant was about to explain something, but the next moment a new situation appeared on the other side of the stone bridge.
"kill!"
"No, Nalant, they have sent additional support!"
Huck on the opposite side also saw several catapults suddenly appearing on the hillside.
These catapults killed more than a hundred of his subordinates in one salvo. Although this made him extremely distressed, it actually inspired him even more to capture Nalant and others immediately.
Because whether it is a ballista or a catapult, in his opinion, these are treasures that have never been seen before.
Therefore, he immediately issued an order to increase the number of troops. This time he once again sent two thousand direct guards to prepare for a fierce attack from the bridge, and also assigned two captains with peak bronze strength among them.
Prepare the stone bridge and raft teams to work together to break through the defense line of Nalant and others as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, the Northern Principality's team was so powerful that it was like a torrent, forcing the Tulip family's team to retreat step by step.
Even with the addition of trebuchets, the balance of the battle is still firmly in the hands of the Northern Principality.
Especially on the stone bridge, there is no support from crossbows and catapults. It is only supported by Raymond and other barbarians. If two extraordinary knights from the Northern Principality are allowed to get close to them, the stone bridge may also change hands.
.
"Narant, let's go!"
"Yes, Nalant, if you don't leave, I'm afraid all my subordinates won't be able to leave!"
Suddenly, Stella and Boris all moved towards Nalant to persuade him.
Unless the God of Glory is blessing us like we did in the valley last time, we can't hold on to this situation.
"Do they think they are going to win? Then let them see what ignorance is! Boris, Stella, do you think the new weapon I am talking about is a catapult? That is just one of them, the real new weapon is at the back
, you take good care of it!”
The weapons Narant mentioned before were naturally not just trebuchets, otherwise the enemy and ourselves would have been intertwined, and even if he had a hundred trebuchets, he would not be able to use them freely.
After explaining to the three of them, Nalant stopped explaining more and showed them with actions.
"Big Stone, follow me!" Nalant waved his hand and led his bodyguards who had not yet appeared directly to the stone bridge, and then came behind Raymond and others.
At this moment, the stone bridge was already crowded. In order to obtain Nalant's secret weapon, Huck would not hesitate to suffer heavy casualties, just to eliminate Nalant and others as quickly as possible.
"All guards listen to the order and take out grenades! The enemies on the stone bridge in front of the target are ready to throw a round!"
Nalant did not hesitate and gave the order directly to Dashi and others.
After hearing this, the ten guards directly took out a round iron lump about ten centimeters in diameter from the cloth bag on their waist.
Immediately, several people took the tinder and blew on it, then placed the fuse on the iron knot on the tinder and ignited it.
…
…
Stella, Boris and others were a little anxious when they saw this scene, but Nalant's previous words were so solemn that they could only frown and wait for Nalant's last attempt.
If they can't save the situation this time, then even if they come forcefully, they will have to retreat with Nalant tied up.
Bah ba ba ba!
Under the gazes of Stella and others, they saw that the iron lumps held by Nalant's personal guards were ignited by tinder, and then white smoke and sparks immediately appeared.
"What is this? Could it be... could it be the fireworks from last time?"
"Although the fireworks are loud, they can only temporarily scare the enemy, right?"
Boris was deeply impressed by Nalant's fireworks, because they were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and they were really brilliant last time.
However, Boris was even more confused at this moment. Last time, Nalant clearly said that fireworks only look scary, but they cannot cause harm to people.
When he thought about it, it wouldn't be enough to scare the enemy for the time being. After reacting, he would start attacking as well.
To be continued...
