Chapter 95 Cavalry
Although the second wave of attack was defended due to the sudden joining of the reserve team, the mercenaries were also very injured. Only more than 80 people were left standing on the city wall. Some of them fell down, while others suffered heavy injuries and retreated into the city wall.
Lin Tianyu has experienced the bloody battle just now, so he is no longer panicked. He asked in a deep voice: "How is the city wall on the west side?"
Alex shook, "They are not so easy to be compromised. I sent someone to see it just now. Where are there more than 300 people?"
"What!?" Lin Tianyu was surprised, "How could this happen?"
Alex smiled bitterly, "In addition to the local militia, the young prince also brought ten knights and fifty entourages."
"prince?"
"It's the young knight I saw in the castle hall yesterday. He is the king's youngest son. This time I probably came to gilt."
Lin Tianyu thought it was such a scam. There were 300 people on one city wall, and there were only 120 people on his side, which was a total of 1.5 times and a half times different in number. This was too unfair.
Living in his world, unfair things are the easiest and most unbearable. Now he has already put himself in the identity of a mercenary, and when he hears it, his heart suddenly becomes a burst of dark fire.
"You send someone to tell the general of the main fort that he will send us a reinforcement, otherwise we will retreat if we can't defend the next time."
Alex was immediately surprised, "This is not good. If you disobey military orders, you will be tried by military law."
He was used to being a soldier. The Roman legion has always been known for his severe military law. He was instinctively uneasy about this threat to Shangguan.
Lin Tianyu glanced at the main fort, and a white figure stood at the window and looked over here. Lin Tianyu showed a sneer on his face and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that we are not soldiers now!"
After Lin Tianyu said, he suddenly said loudly in the human language of this world, "The enemy's attack will definitely not stop here, but look at how many of us are left. We are here to make money, not to die. Of course I want money, but if you die, what's the use of asking for money!"
His words seemed to be questioning Alex, but in fact they were told to those mercenaries. These mercenaries were originally rebellious figures. After hearing his shouts, they immediately caused a response. They immediately shouted excitedly. They empathized with the strength of the enemy's offensive. Alex's several persuasion was useless, so he could only sigh helplessly and sent someone to report.
This scene naturally fell into General Pris' eyes watching from the window, and suddenly the gloomy voice sounded behind him, "It seems that those mercenaries are a little uneasy. What are you going to do? Your Excellency General?"
"They are indeed treated unfairly, but this is an army, so they cannot be allowed to go wild!" Pris said with a gray face, and pulled out his sword, roaring: "If they want to retreat, then let them get out. I will keep the main fortress safe. After this battle, I promise that they will not get a single child."
The black-robed mage suddenly took a slanted step and stood in front of him, "Don't forget that it's a great enemy now. Besides, it's not much if the city wall in the east is lost, but if the city wall in the west is also lost, you can't afford such a thing."
Pris thought for a moment and understood what he meant. If the prince died on the battlefield, it would be much more deadly than losing a fortress. Even if he could save his life with the power of his family, he would probably be at least deprived of his title.
"Hmph, they are lucky. Knights of Maladis will bring fifty people to support the walls on the east side."
After obtaining support from the new force, the mercenaries finally stabilized, but before half an hour had rested, the third wave of attack began again.
After experiencing the excitement during the first battle and the psychological changes during the second battle, Lin Tianyu has become much calmer this time. He neither shrank nor avoided the battle nor fought hard. Instead, he relied on his equipment to follow the crowd to harvest one or two lives from time to time, and gradually adapted to the rhythm of this battle.
Generally speaking, the single-body quality of human soldiers is slightly stronger than that of zombies and gnomes and kobolds. However, compared with medium-sized enemies such as orcs and bear goblins, there is no obvious advantage. However, in terms of small-scale cooperation, human mercenaries and soldiers are much better. Coupled with the advantages in terrain, the overall victory of long-range firepower allows human soldiers to continuously and effectively kill enemies while avoiding their own casualties.
With Alex's command, in half an hour, the city walls were filled with enemy corpses, but human casualties were not very serious.
However, even so, the third attack was still extremely difficult. In the later stage, the goblins and the kowtowers who made up the numbers also stepped onto the battlefield again. Although Lin Tianyu's combat skills continued to improve, the armor on his body was still attacked and gradually became broken. Fortunately, the fiberglass has good toughness and can pray for some defense even if it cracks. However, it is estimated that after the battle, the armor will be thrown away. After all, fiberglass is not as valuable as metal armor.
When he killed the enemy under the sword again, Lin Tianyu felt his arms sore that he could not lift them up. He looked at the city wall, and the orcs, women and children holding crude weapons such as wooden sticks had already begun to prepare for the battle.
Will you still be unable to hold on?
He glanced at Alex. The latter was not as embarrassed as him. Alex's fighting skills were extremely high, and he did not receive much attack on his body.
After killing his opponent, Alex returned to Lin Tianyu at the right time. Since the third wave of offensive began, Alex has been consciously fighting with Lin Tianyu, but has blocked many attacks for him and resolved several crises.
"Be careful!" A voice suddenly came to my ears and the next moment, a gunshot was heard, and a werewolf who wanted to sneak attack him was shot to death. Lin Tianyu nodded gratefully to Ning Siya on the arrow tower, but hesitated in his heart whether he should retreat.
"Alex..."
"Sir, look there!" Alex suddenly shouted in surprise.woo
Lin Tianyu turned around and saw a scene that surprised him very much.
Hundreds of elves were wearing exquisite armor woven with plant fibers and decorated with gorgeous feathers. Each of them held an elves bent bow in their hands, with a scimitar hanging around their waists, and riding snow-white horses under their crotch, sweeping from behind the siege army like a blizzard. Before the people arrived, they had already bent their bows and arrows. A rain of arrows fell all over the sky, causing a bloody storm in the orcs' military formation. Then, when they were about to rush to the enemy formation, they suddenly turned their horses' heads and ran away collectively.
"It's the Elf Safari! We're saved!"
A mercenary shouted excitedly, and soon there was a high morale on the top of the city. Something was wrong with the enemies who attacked the city. The morale suddenly plummeted and the momentum of the attack slowed down.
Lin Tianyu was surprised but also had an incomparable surprise. The elf archer was too inconsistent.
Lin Tianyu can swear that among all the fantasy novels he has read, whether it is Western orthodox fantasy literature, domestic game fantasy literature or pseudo-Western fantasy literature, I have never heard of any magical weapons such as the elves archers.
His mind didn't turn around for a moment, so he could only continue to observe the situation on the battlefield.
This elves archery unit has only two or three hundred people, but its tactics are extremely flexible and its combat qualities are amazing. The advantages of utilization and range, coupled with the precise archery and the balance ability on the horse's back that humans cannot reach, have been constantly throwing rain of arrows. In less than fifteen minutes, at least thousands of arrows fell from the orc's position, hundreds of people died directly in the rain of arrows, and hundreds of people lying on the ground wailing. The seemingly huge indigenous army of dark forests finally collapsed. Although there were still a small number of orcs resisting, it was not enough to save the situation.
Lin Tianyu vaguely saw the shadow of the Mongolian nomadic cavalry in them. Perhaps they were stronger than the same number of Mongolian cavalry. When they saw the enemy fleeing, the elves cavalry did not pursue them, but rushed directly into the fleeing position. Most of them were on the periphery, and dozens of others jumped off the horse and packed all the materials for boiling potions and took them away.
Just as Lin Tianyu and others cheered for victory, General Pris was not in such a good mood.
"This is what you mean by the cavalry!?" Pris suddenly turned around from the city wall. He looked at the black-robed mage with a cold look, as if he wanted to see something from the other person's expression, but he could only see a vain darkness. The shadow under the black-robed mage's hood seemed to be unable to penetrate by light, and it was like a shadow in a dark cave, which was unimaginable.
Pris guessed that it must be some kind of magic effect, and he sneered, "Say, what kind of tricks are there between you and the elves."
"A trick! Oh, your words are so sad. Don't forget, I just helped you guard your castle."
"Hmph, stop playing tricks anymore. I let you stay in my castle for more than half a year, and use military funds to buy you expensive spell materials, and let my spies collect information for you. These are not something that anyone can give to you. Therefore, it is natural for you to help me defend the city for me. I don't owe you anything at all."
"Okay, if you really want to know, I can tell you."
The black-robed mage walked to a chair and sat down, stretched out his hand, signaling Pris to sit down and listen, but the latter just snorted coldly.
The black-robed mage was not surprised and told: "Remember the man's wise man predicted that the Black Tide would appear? 'As time goes by, when the dark forest is completely corrupted and unable to survive, all the indigenous tribes in the dark forest will eventually rush out and move towards the south, forming a disaster called the Black Tide.'"
"Hmph, what a dark tide? I've blocked it. The so-called disaster is simply not worthy of its name."
"You are very correct," said the black-robed mage with great agreement. "The army composed of thousands of indigenous people in the dark forest is far from being a disaster. The so-called disaster should at least be difficult for humans to resist. Therefore, the real black tide has not actually appeared."
"The dark tide did not appear? Then what are those outside?"
"That's just a sign," the black-robed mage's voice became distant.
"Believe me, when the dark tide really explodes, you will be extremely shocked with its power. The fireplace castle looks like a wall of iron, but in the face of this disaster, it is like a clay pot in a fire, and it can only become a cemetery for soldiers."
"Did you advise me to abandon this place! Then let your elves allies occupy it and gain a complete advantage over the human kingdom!? Tell me, how much benefits do you get?"
The black-robed mage sighed, "If you don't believe me, at least let me take the prince back. In this way, even if you are buried here, the glory of your family can continue. With your son, you will not want your bloodline to be cut off."
Pris snorted coldly without comment. He turned his head and looked back to the distance, crossing the elves. Although it was during the day and there was no cloud in the sky, the horizon in the distance seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy ghost fog, which made people feel uneasy when they saw it.
He pondered for a long time until the knight who brought people to reinforce the east wall came back to report, and then nodded heavily, "Okay, I will arrange for them to leave tomorrow."
ps: I had something to do in the morning, so I could only have one chapter, but although there was only one chapter, there were nearly four thousand words, so everyone should be satisfied.
