Chapter 296: Seizing the City (Part 1)

"Brother Salin, aren't you worried about the people behind these thieves?"

"What are you going to worry about? In ten days, Rex's cavalry will arrive. At most one month, this city will be part of the Kushui County." Salin answered very naturally. He was really not afraid. Even people like Farka had seen it. It would be difficult for anyone to scare him in this plane.

If the people behind these thieves are really strong enough to fight, you can go directly to Metatlin City like Farka and negotiate terms with Salin or Rex, either obey or kill you.

The power behind the thieves is obviously not that strong now, and they still have to use such inequality methods to take advantage of the emptiness of Phoenix's north to eat up the land here.

The people from Fangxing City didn't know that the reinforcements outside had no intention of saving them. The thieves siege wildly for three consecutive days. There was no need for this, but Salin stabbed the thieves in the back and disappeared, which made the thieves panic, so they had to attack Fangxing City as soon as possible.

What's more, the thieves carry too little supplies, which can last more than a week at most. Only after entering the city can you eat. There is a large granary in the Side Star City, which was built by the Great Duke of Phoenix. The grain in this granary can be eaten by the city for decades and will not go hungry.

The thieves dared not to fight. There were very few people who restrained Mars City. In at most, in three or two days, the Mars City could send troops to rescue.

The thief had no catapult and could only set up a ladder and attack.

The thieves are not good at such battles, but there are more than 100 regular soldiers in the Banxing City, and there are only more than 1,000 peasant militias that have been trained. If you want to have a chance to rest, these more than 1,000 people will be at most one wall. The remaining vacancy will be compensated by the young and strong people in the city.

The city buildings in the north of Phoenix are basically stone. The defenders in the city demolished half of the houses and moved the stones to the top of the city as a defensive weapon. The other equipment in the city is enough, but the number of feather arrows is too small. Thieves attacked the city and rushed blindly, but did not use bows and arrows to suppress the city.

There is no possibility of replenishing the arrows in the Side Star City, and they shot out the first day.

The magician among the thieves did not take action. Phoenix is ​​now nominally a subsidiary principality of Qin Yin. If the magician participates in the attack, the mage of Alchemy City will destroy it.

Generally speaking, without siege equipment, it is difficult to break fortresses like Side Star City with a wall height of about fifteen meters, even if the people in the city are not elite troops.

However, there were too few defenders in the city. More than 10,000 thieves were divided into four groups, and they kept attacking day and night. The defenders were difficult to rest. On the third day, more than 100 thieves came to the top of the city. Although they were quickly beaten down, the Side Star City was obviously unable to defend.

The defenders were extremely tired. No one could rest for three days and three nights. The thieves surrounded the three walls and opened the south gates and did not attack. But the people in the city knew that there were more than a thousand cavalry outside the city. If they escaped from the city, they would be caught up quickly, which was faster than dying in the city.

Salin's team came outside the Bianxing City. It happened that the thieves broke through the north wall. When they opened the city gate inside, the thieves who were still feinting attacks on the east and west sides immediately rushed towards the north gate. The defenders collapsed and the thieves flocked in.

With Aini's fifty cavalry as the core, the caravan's guards and slaves followed the thieves and rushed into the Side Star City.

The thieves can be said to be organized and undisciplined, but no one found that this team of nearly a thousand people was not their accomplices. The goods transported by Guya Baron and Aini this time were not only on the big truck, but also magic cores transported with space equipment. The guards reached this scale. Generally, the caravans had about a hundred people, which could just compete with the traversing thieves.

Before arriving at the Bianxing City, Salin had already reorganized the team and according to the army's organization, they let the slaves serve as auxiliary soldiers to help the soldiers fight. The soldiers were wearing metal light armor, and the slaves were wearing high-quality leather armor, which looked a bit like a thief.

Fangxing City is a square, 1.2 miles long from north to south. Once the north gate is broken, the viscount of Fangxing City can no longer care about the dignity of the nobles. She brought more than 20 personal soldiers and more than 30 slaves around her and escaped from the south gate on horseback.

There were only a few war horses in the Bianxing City. When they fled, the people in the city didn't know that the battle continued.

When the city was broken, it was evening, the setting sun was as bloody as the wind, and the thieves had no horns or war drums, so they were connected by a metal whistle. The fighting sounded low, and the sharp metal whistle tore through the sky and spread far away. When Salin and others arrived, half of the thieves had already entered the Side Star City.

The sound of swords slashing on the armor was extremely harsh. The thief's crossbow began to show its power. During street fighting, the crossbow with a range of more than ten meters killed and killed with its advantage of firing speed, suppressed the stubborn defenders in the city very much. The pattern of the Side Star City is the same as that of most Qinyin cities. The streets are wide, and the thief's advantage in numbers is immediately reflected.

Often, three to five thieves surrounded a peasant militia and fought. The poor peasant militia only trained for less than two months in a year. Although they were wearing armor with metal armor leaves, these armors were not as good as leather armor during training. The leather armor was at least light and flexible. The armor distributed by the city lords must be worn by at least a junior swordsman.

Because it was not suitable for the weight of the armor and the twisting angle of joints, the peasant militia's movements were a bit unbalanced and they cut them up randomly. The only way was to rely on the armor to resist, and then use the spear in their hands to try to kill an enemy.

No matter how good the armor of these peasant militias is, it cannot withstand the crazy slashing of thieves. Often, the weapons of peasant militias are first cut off, and then the armor is torn from the gaps of joints by the thief's long sword.

The braver thief used a triangular sword to break the armor. Most of the time, two thieves held down a peasant militia and let the third thief use a short sword to penetrate the peasant militia's throat.

Occasionally, thieves rush too quickly and are surrounded by peasant militias, which will cause their own casualties.

When Su entered the city, the scene he saw was extremely tragic. The thieves had blocked the south gate from another direction and let the viscount go. The city was already in chaos. The peasant militia without anyone command was like dogs that had removed their minions. And these thieves didn't want to capture them. Regardless of whether the peasant militia put down their weapons or surrendered, the thieves fired in the distance with their hand crossbows, and then rushed up to kill.

The peasant militia without armor was shot to death by a crossbow. The remaining peasant militia were weak and would be dismembered by thieves in a blink of an eye.

Su was born in a noble family and valued the peasants very much. The thief killed him and provoked him, the Silver Sword Saint. But Salin asked him to keep an eye on the magician. At this moment, the magician did not appear and did not know where he was hiding, so Su didn't dare to go everywhere to put out the fire.

Cui Si has already changed into armor all over his body. His armor was remade by Salin, but its appearance is still ferocious and terrifying. There are sharp long thorns on the black and gray armor. The long thorns themselves are also weapons. Even if Cui Si fits into it, it will knock the enemy into several holes.

The demon is good at speculating on people's hearts. Seeing Su's angry expression, Tris knew that it was the time when Tesalin wins people's hearts.

"Su, stare at the mage and give me twenty people, I'll kill those idiots for you." Cui Si urged the horse to come to Su's side. Su nodded and gave Cui Si twenty cavalry with his fingers.

Instead of using his long whip, Tris lifted a giant horse-slashing sword and rushed towards the most dense place of the thieves. The twenty cavalry behind him were scimitars that Salin had sent down. This scimitar was imitated according to the scimitar seized from the referee warriors. Each piece was magical equipment, and heavy armor could be broken when swung.

Cuisi rode a skeleton war horse with heavy armor on her body, and the giant horse-slashing sword probably had more than 200 kilograms. The giant sword more than three meters was swung out, and the impact of the skeleton war horse, Cuisi directly fought a bloody path on the street. The twenty cavalry behind only needed to stare at the side for Cuisi.

Tris was so angry that he released a mental impact. His mental impact was not as good as Dorothy, but his enemies were just ordinary thieves, most of whom were low-level swordsmen, and their mental power was not enough to resist a powerful demon.

The thief who was hit by the mental impact was shaking. The slightly inferior one was that his facial features squirted blood and killed him directly. Those who had cultivated sword energy could not stand. Cui Si excitedly used a skeleton war horse to trample on it. Only the skeleton war horse could attack like this.

Cuisi, with the weight of war horses and heavy armor, was more than 2,000 kilograms. The hooves of the skeleton war horses were wrapped in metal and stepped on the thief's body. They were immediately covered in blood and blood. Cuisi felt unsatisfied, so she simply aimed at the thief's head to step on. Now, a puff sound sounded, and white brains were mixed in the blood, plus the giant horse-slashing sword, and the broken limbs flew around the streets, as if they had come to purgatory for a moment.

The twenty cavalrymen following Cuisi were chilling all over, and Cuisi's madness made them feel a little uncomfortable. Moreover, this woman was too strong. The giant horse-slashing sword more than three meters long was originally used to show off. Generally speaking, the weapon store made such equipment, but they only had good forgeers on the surface, not really for people to use.

Only Su was enjoyable in the distance, and the nobles would never have any sympathy for the thieves. Generally speaking, when the thieves are arrested, the nobles would come up with many ways to abuse and kill the thieves.

Su was relieved and led the team to occupy the high buildings near the city gate, and then arranged for the slaves to take the steel crossbow to occupy the commanding heights. Su himself did not do anything. He took off the longbow behind him and was ready to deal with the level 6 mage at any time.

The thieves were still pouring into the city, and the slaves occupying the high places shot down from a high place. The thieves thought it was sporadic resistance in the city. The slaves' accuracy was not good, but the shooting distance was too close, and the thieves who rushed into the city gate were seriously injured.

After more than half an hour of fighting, the thief realized something was wrong and someone mingled into the city!

Two hundred cavalrymen walked around the side road and rushed towards the north gate. The slaves shot from a high place. This time the effect was much worse. These two hundred iron cavalry were the backbone of the thieves. Although they were covered with leaf armor, they were all worn on two layers, with animal skins in the middle. Moreover, the helmets of these thieves were cast as a whole and were very strong. When the steel crossbow shot, they were basically slipped away.
