Chapter 26 (2/2)
So even if there were several waves of enemies on the road, they didn't spend time to take care of them. They rushed over with their heads closed and stabbed a blind enemy's throat.
His sword is among the civilized sticks that never leave his body. It is a stabbing sword that is popular only among the upper class nobles. His swordsmanship is not too fancy. There is only one word ”Kuai”, which is too fast to be seen clearly.
When the enemy reacts, he has already put his sword into the scabbard. The only adjective he can think of is a flash of cold light. Then there is no more. Then, the man is dead.
The city gate is the weakest part of a castle. This kind of cognition is quite wrong.Because it looks weak, every castle will strengthen its protection when it is designed. There are many defensive measures, such as urn City, Ridge Gate, suspension bridge, moat and so on. The troops stationed are also the most powerful.
This is no exception in Bastille. There are four towers on both sides of the arch guard alone, not to mention a small barracks between the inner city and the outer city, in which a hundred guards are specially stationed to guard the city gate.
This hundred guard is a special and independent garrison. Without special circumstances, it is not easy for him to be transferred. This time, old Burton himself went out to fight.
The city gate garrison did not live up to its reputation as an elite. When the riots on the city wall started, the whole hundred guards were almost assembled. Alves, the commander of the garrison, wore double armor and a red cape. His short and strong body was like a wild boar, which was very consistent with his nickname ”mountain pig”.
But unlike Eriksson the bull, he was not an Odin orc, but a serious Byron.
The adjutant of the garrison at the gate of the city said anxiously, ”your honor, the curtain wall and tower are about to be lost. Shall we send troops for support?”
”Our duty is to guard the city gate. Even if the whole castle is lost, we will do our duty as long as we keep the gate. If we lose the gate in other places, it will be our greatest dereliction of duty.”
What kind of bullshit theory is this? If the castle is lost, we just keep a gate for birds?
aide in the heart of a Tucao, but his superior officer's temper is known, said good to make complaints about death, said not pleasant to hear, the head lacks string, once he identified things, even if general Erickson himself came to change.
In the words of the Lord of the city, he is a born City keeper. Because of this, Erikson, the bull who followed the Lord of the city with him, has become a general, and even some people who have been mixed up under him have been promoted to the rank of captain. He is still just a guard general who looks at the city gate.
If it were for other people, they would have complained a lot about such treatment. It would be good for the Lord to be peaceful and carry out his duties for decades, as well as today.
The one track approach of Jarvis, on the other hand, made a certain confusion in the rhythm of the night Raiders. Before the attack, they had made several plans. Among all the plans, the reaction in front of the city gate garrison was the most difficult one.
Although the garrison at the gate had only one hundred guards, it was a real hard bone.
Not only are all veterans who have experienced many battles, but they also have an absolute advantage in terms of weapons and armor. Even the worst is a lock armour, and there are also a lot of iron armour.
The dozen guards who gathered around Jarvis, a mountain pig, were lined with chain armour like a mountain pig. They were also covered with iron armour. They threw spears, half swords, and hand axes. They were armed to the teeth with forks.
In order to increase the speed of climbing the wall, they can't carry more equipment.
The most lethal force in their hands is the hunting bow. However, facing the heavily armed infantry, such as the gate guards, who are armed to the teeth, they are a little weak. Unless they directly hit the weakest place, they will only be tickled.
What's more, most of the people's arrow pots are empty, and some of them are lucky enough to replace them with Zhang Jungong. Although it's not convenient, it's better than holding a dagger and a group of iron cans. Some people can only do this. In order to rush for time, they haven't searched for other weapons. Now they are turning back, and it's too late.
The hesitation of the night Raiders lasted only a minute, even if not for a minute. In a cry of ”carry out as planned”, the tide surged up. The target was so clear and the steps were so firm that they would not be shaken by any obstruction. Even the seemingly impregnable city gate garrison could not be achieved.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the course of the charge, the night Raiders scattered all the arrows in their hands. Although there were only a few hundred people, a small rain of arrows formed on the top of the garrison at the gate of the city.
”Raise your shield.”
All the captains of Wu, Shi, and teams were drinking with one voice.
Various kinds of shields appeared on the top of the garrison at the gate. Those without shields would naturally crouch down and huddle up, raising their hands to protect the gaps in their bodies with their own arm armor.
Once again, the cruel reality has proved that both the hunting bow of Andes mountain people and the army bow of Bastille are of limited lethality even to those soldiers wearing chain armour.
The arrow rain was magnificent, and the results were pitiful. Only a few unlucky men made mistakes in the protection, and were shot to the key points. They were killed on the spot. Even though other people were full of arrows, they were still alive and kicking, and even the meeting ignored them.
