Chapter 996 (2/2)
”Enemy attack! There is a large army approaching!! ”
As if to respond to the soldier's scream, after the soldier's scream fell, the sound of bow string trembling suddenly sounded in the dark wilderness outside the city.
Then black locusts rose from the dark wilderness outside the city and covered the east wall of Bruges.
In the twinkling of an eye, the dense arrow rain killed and wounded many soldiers who had not yet responded to what had happened.
Cries of pain and howls were heard one after another on the east wall of Bruges.
After the first round of arrow rain fell, the second round of arrow rain came immediately, which did not give any breathing opportunities to the soldiers of schuper army on the city wall.
Under the cover of arrow rain, a long ladder came to the east wall of Bruges.
Then, a large number of soldiers wearing pointed helmets climbed up the long ladder to the east wall of Bruges.
The troops and soldiers coming from the East wear iconic pointed helmets - the identity of this sudden enemy is self-evident.
After seeing the pointed helmets on the heads of the soldiers who climbed the wall, many schuper soldiers shouted:
”It's frank!”
”The Franks invaded us!”
”Why did the Franks invade us?”
……
They could not understand why the Frankish Empire, which was vast in territory and abundant in resources, would launch aggression against a small country like them? Waste valuable military power here.
Neither officers nor soldiers can figure out the answer to this question.
However - it's no use thinking about this now. It's urgent to try to keep Bruges.
In addition to a large number of Frankish soldiers on the east wall, the walls in other directions were also put up long ladders and attacked by the Frankish army.
After a large number of Frankish soldiers boarded the city wall, Bruges's garrison finally realized it and began to resist.
This resistance is doomed to be a wrong resistance.
The soldiers who devoted themselves to this battle were all elite soldiers of the Frankish imperial army.
How can the long-standing schuper army in Chengping be compared with the elite soldiers of the Frankish army in terms of individual combat effectiveness?
In terms of quantity and quality, the schuper army is at an absolute disadvantage.
There are only 2000 defenders in Bruges, and the Frankish army besieging Bruges is like a tide. I don't know how many troops the Frankish army has invested to attack Bruges.
In less than half an hour, the walls of Bruges fell one after another. Bruges's defenders had to retreat to the city and fight in the street with the Frankish army.
Bruges' garrison is just surviving. It's only a matter of time for them to be wiped out and Bruges to fall into the hands of the Frankish Army
……
……
Bruges, outside the city, the first formation of the Frankish army, this formation.
Riding on a tall horse, bazel looked at Bruges in the distance with cold eyes without any emotional color.
A general rode his horse slowly to bazel's side and reported to bazel:
”General Ludendorff, all the defenders in the city have been wiped out, and Bruges has been captured by our army.”
”Yes.” Bazel nodded, and then gave orders to the generals around him, ”1000 people will be assigned to guard Bruges, and the rest will continue to march! Within 7 days - destroy schuper! ”
