"Jason, did you see clearly? Did the Lord come back with reinforcements? Why is there no trace for a long time?" Spencer, the baggage officer who swore not to participate in the battle, still unconsciously picked up a weapon at the critical moment of life and death, although he only hid in the arrow tower and shot a crossbow arrow at the bandits outside the camp from time to time.
"The flag that appeared in the rear of the bandits just now is definitely your lord's flag, don't you think so, Smith?" Jason, the leader of the crossbow team, shot the last arrow in the quiver in front of him.
· Smith kicked the last quiver of quivers under his feet to Jason's feet, and then replied: "It is the heraldic flag of Lord Art. But it disappeared again."
Spencer put the crossbow on the ground, stepped on the pedal ring with his left foot, put the crossbow string on the suspension with both hands, then put a crossbow arrow into the arrow trough and pointed it at a bandit soldier who squeezed in from the main gate of the village wall with an iron-tipped stick...
卟~
There was a muffled sound, and the bandit soldier who had just squeezed into the village gate was pushed out by the huge force of the crossbow arrow. Then an arrow flying from outside the camp hit the guy who had just shot the crossbow... The hand coming in...
Just when the gate of the camp was about to be broken, the bandit soldiers finally couldn't bear the heavy casualties. An order to "retreat" came from outside the camp, and the bandit soldiers who were attached to the gate and the gap of the camp retreated one after another.
This is the fifth attack by the bandits that has been repelled. It is estimated that there will not be a seventh attack. The sixth attack will determine the fate of all survivors.
Odo used his last bit of strength to drag the body of a bandit soldier to the gate of the camp and hold it against it. Then he wiped his eyes that were covered with blood. He picked up the hammer on the ground with his battle ax and slowly turned around to take a look at the camp that was riddled with holes.
The defensive battle at the Jushi Town camp has basically come to an end.
Three gaps in the village wall are constantly torn apart, and the main entrance has been knocked out by the bandit soldiers with heavy wood, with a crack half a person wide. More than thirty soldiers have been holding out for a whole afternoon in a simple camp surrounded by fences facing nearly a hundred fiercely attacking bandit soldiers. Now there are less than twenty people in the garrison camp in Jushi Town who can still breathe, and even fewer who can lift weapons to fight...
One mile east of the Boulder camp, Angus took Felix and his two cavalry followers to watch the battle at the Boulder camp.
After separated from Art in the afternoon, Angus followed Art's order and led three cavalrymen to Boulder Town holding the blood-eyed howling wolf heraldry flag. When they arrived, dozens of bandits were besieging the camp. He clearly saw that there were three gaps in the camp, and a large number of bandits were squeezing in through the gaps.
Angus originally wanted to lead three cavalrymen to raid the bandits' rear formation and cause some confusion to the bandits. However, the bandits' rear formation actually set up a secret sentinel. Just as Angus and his men started to speed up, the alarm sounded at the secret sentry. Seven or eight bandit archers were shooting arrows outside the camp. They came back one after another. The rear formation threw arrows at Angus to prevent them from approaching. A dozen bandit soldiers who stayed behind were already in formation...
Angus, who failed to attack the rear formation, had to hold up a heraldic flag and run around the camp outside the range of the enemy's bows and arrows.
This circle was still effective. When the blood-eyed howling wolf flag appeared in the defender's field of vision, a mountain roar came from the camp, and soon they repelled an attack by the bandit soldiers.
Angus saw that the situation had eased, so he led Felix and the other three in an attempt to harass the bandits' rear formation from the flanks. However, there was an archery master in the bandit's rear array. The four men riding horses in the wilderness with a wide field of vision became live targets. One of Felix's cavalry followers was shot off his horse on the spot. Fortunately, he did not hit a vital point.
"These are a group of bastards that came out of nowhere, why are they so difficult to deal with?" Felix's right hand covered his right arm that had been scratched by a stray arrow, blood soaking his clothes.
At this time, Angus felt helpless. There were many gaps in the wall of the Jushi Town camp not far away. The gate of the camp had been cracked in the battle just now. Although the defenders repelled the bandits again, Angus also knew that the defenders in the camp were at the end of their strength, and life and death were only a matter of a moment.
"Sergeant Major, what should we do? Why hasn't Lord Art arrived with the reinforcements?" Felix also saw that the camp was about to be broken down and it was extremely critical.
Angus turned his head and glanced to the north, but there was no sign of reinforcements. He turned back to stare at Boulder Town, gritted his teeth and said, "Felix, take your people to the other side of the canyon to pick up the adults. I'm afraid they are in big trouble at the mouth of the canyon. If I don't survive, tell him that you owe me another life."
“Sergeant, what are you going to do?” Felix saw the determination to die in Angus’s eyes.
"There is no next attack, and the next attack will be the last one. I want to replace Art and give an explanation to the brothers who are sticking to the camp." Angus planned to fight to the death to attack the bandits.
"Sergeant major, I~" Felix hesitated to speak.
"Felix, you are just a guest temporarily staying in the legion, and besides, you are the only son of a baron. We have no reason to ask you to die for the legion. You don't have to feel guilty." Angus knew that Felix did not have the courage to die with him, but this was human nature and understandable.
After speaking, Angus rode his horse and ran south. He wanted to avoid the sight of the bandits in the front and launch a sudden attack on the siege bandits from somewhere behind at the most critical moment of the battle...
.........
At this time, there was a fierce quarrel in the rear formation of the bandits outside Boulder Town.
If we continue to fight, all my brothers will die. What are those bastards in the wall made of? Twenty or thirty people blocked our attacks five times]� A bandit leader who was fighting together became anxious.
During an afternoon attack, nearly a hundred bandits dropped more than 20 corpses inside and outside the camp. Several bandits who responded to Gary's call to come to help were on the verge of collapse. If Gary, the strongest and most angry, had not persisted, the remaining leaders would have run away with their men.
"I agree with what Scarface Huss said. If we continue to fight, we won't need that bastard patrol officer to clear them out. We will all die here." The leader of another group of bandits also echoed loudly.
The bandit leader named Huss the Scarface suffered the most serious losses. Over the past year, he had managed to gather around thirty men and planned to have a good experience in Tyniec, but now he was brought here with half of his brothers killed and injured in the battle.
He pointed at the planner of this battle and yelled: "Gary, you are a liar. You said that the defenders were outnumbered and could be defeated in one attack. We have been attacking all afternoon, and those bastards are still holding on. Are you that? A man sent by a bastard patrol officer! ”
A fierce bandit next to Gary raised his sword and threatened to kill him. !"
Housse the Scarface was frightened. He raised his ax and split the sword in the gangster's hand, and said viciously: "The leaders are talking, and it's not your turn to interrupt, you little bastard. If you fart again, be careful I'll split your dog's head open!"
Before the gangsters could fight back, the big leader Gary stopped the two of them and said: "The enemy will be defeated in the last round of attack! I will give you an extra ten percent after the war."
"You said the same thing in the last round of attack. This time you go and take the people yourself. My people need to rest for a while." The leader who just supported Scarface Hus said in a weird way.
As the organizer and planner of the entire battle, the big leader Gary was also a little discouraged at this moment. A total of 1,560 bandits participated in this battle. About a hundred of his own men were divided into two groups. Most of them were taken by the second leader to set up an ambush in the east canyon to prevent the black-robed soldiers from reinforcing Jushi Town. The remaining thirty or forty elite guys (mostly ruthless bandits) stayed behind. He and several groups of bandits gathered together to attack the Boulder Town camp in front of him. Capturing the camp would not only dampen the spirit of the bandit-suppressing army, but more importantly, it would capture a large amount of weapons, equipment and food supplies. These things would become the basis for his continued development and growth...
But the strength of the simple camp in front of him exceeded Gary's expectations. More than ninety bandit soldiers fought against thirty or so defenders. They attacked for an afternoon and broke through several walls. However, every time they were about to break the camp, the defenders exploded with astonishing combat power. The bandit soldiers were not army soldiers, and their personal combat skills and fighting will were not as strong as those of the defenders. Therefore, whenever the battle damage was slightly greater, the attacking bandit soldiers would retreat immediately. More importantly, the leaders of the several groups of bandits who came to participate in the battle each had their own selfish motives. Who could I don’t want to suffer too much damage... "A bunch of bastards!"
Gary cursed in his mind, then took a breath and said: "Since you don’t want to fight to the death, let’s repair for a while, and then I will go to the camp to recruit surrender. I guess they can’t stand it anymore..."
…
In the Boulder Town camp, Odo held Bass, whose face was covered in blood, with tears of pain in his eyes.
At the end of the fifth battle, Bass led the two remaining soldiers to defend the largest gap on the right side of the camp. At that time, the gate of the camp was about to be breached. Odo led all the people who could breathe to resist the front. At the last moment, Bass, who was coming in as backup, roared out of the gap with a heavy hammer. He fought with four or five bandit soldiers outside the gap. His fists were hard to beat with four hands. Bass, who was covered in wounds, was hit by a bandit soldier with a chain hammer and his helmet collapsed. His face was covered with blood on the spot and he fell to the ground.
"Lord Odo, we can't save him~" The escort (guard) responsible for battlefield treatment shook his head helplessly at Odo.
"You bastard, why do you say that Chief Bass can't be saved? Save him, save him immediately!" Colin grabbed the guard's collar and shouted in a tearful voice.
"Colin, stop it!" Odo shouted at the squad leader.
Colin let go of the collar of the baggage (guard) soldier, cried and knelt beside Bass and kept wiping the blood on Bass's face.
Odo pulled Colin away, glanced at Bass who was almost lifeless, and in a hoarse and unusually calm tone, ordered the guard (guard): "Carry Chief Bass to the camp and simply bandage and clean him up so that he can go peacefully~"
Then Odo kicked Colin, the heartbroken team leader who was still kneeling on the ground, and said harshly: "Don't be such a wimp. If you are really sad, pick up his weapon and hold the gap for me!"
Just as he was about to turn around, an alarm came from the arrow tower: "Lord Odo, the bandits are coming again!"
"Everyone pick up their weapons and prepare to fight!" Odo's hoarse roar began to sound again.
"Wait, Lord Odo, there are only three bandits." Another message came from the arrow tower.
"Three people?" Odo didn't understand what the bandits wanted to do.
"Stand guard around the camp to guard against bandits and deception!" Then Odo climbed up the arrow tower.
Outside the camp, the leader of the bandits, Gary, led two tough bandits to the gate of the camp, and shouted to Jason on the arrow tower: "Man, tell your commander to come out and speak." Hearing this, Odo climbed up the arrow tower and suddenly felt that the bandit leader outside the camp wall looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had met him before.
Like Odo, the bandit leader also felt that the garrison commander on the arrow tower seemed familiar, but he could not remember who it was. "Guys, I know that you can no longer hold it, and you will all die in the next attack. But I admire your bravery and bravery, and decided to give you a chance to live. As long as you put down your weapons and open the door to surrender, I promise not to hurt you. I can also treat the injured guys."
After hearing this, Otto spat at the foot of the tower and cursed: "Bah! A group of wild dogs dare to pretend to be wolves! Surrender? If you put down your arms and surrender, I can spare your life and become a slave to my family."
Gary was not angered by Odo's words. He looked at Odo on the arrow tower and smiled: "Your master? Is that the bullshit patrol officer we shot away just now?"
Gary pointed to the wasteland to the east. , sneered: "He was shot to death by me just now, and his men have dragged the body and fled to the east, so don't count on him. And I also tell you some bad news, your black-robed soldiers were sent by me in the east canyon. There was an ambush, and now the corpses are probably all over the valley~"
"TMD!" Odo didn't wait for the bandit leader to finish, he grabbed the crossbow of the crossbowman beside him and shot at the bandit leader outside the wall.
Gary instinctively ducked aside, and the crossbow arrow nailed the sole of a gangster behind him, causing repeated screams.
"You will pay a heavy price for your despicable behavior!" the bandit leader Gary yelled viciously, and quickly picked up the wounded soldiers and retreated.
Odo spat another mouthful of blood at the bandit leader, and then shouted to the soldiers watching under the tower: "Brothers, we are legionnaires, we will not surrender to the bandits even if we die, not to mention that your Excellency has just appeared here The bandit soldiers are retreating. He must be planning how to annihilate the bandit soldiers. Don't believe the bandits' tricks. Although we suffered heavy casualties, those bastards are not much better. As long as they survive the next time, it will be the bandit bastards who surrender!"
"My lord has said that when it comes to life and death, the last thing you need to fight for is your last breath of courage..."
Just when Otto was about to ignite the fighting will of the remaining army again, an accident happened.
"Lord Odo, let us surrender!" A sound like thunder in the clear sky came from the corner under the wall of the village.
A soldier with a bloody face took off his iron helmet and knelt on the ground, crying, "We can't hold on any longer! We can't withstand the next attack. Open your eyes and see, there are still a few of us left who are breathing. Do you want all the brothers to die?"
Odo stayed on the arrow tower, not knowing how to deal with it for a moment.
The defenders were stunned by the sudden change, and the camp suddenly fell into a deathly silence...
Just when the atmosphere was about to drop to freezing point, a squad leader carrying a heavy hammer rushed out from the military tent, kicked over the coward kneeling on the ground, and then raised the heavy hammer——
“Bang!” The guy on the ground’s head was smashed with a hammer.
The squad leader pointed at the coward on the ground, whose brains were splattered and his legs were twitching. He raised his head with a heavy hammer and shouted with blood-red eyes: "Who the hell still wants to surrender? Who else!!!"
The soldiers in the camp who were still breathing all stood up and looked at the corpses on the ground. They were completely stunned.
At this moment, a rush of horns sounded from the rear of the bandits outside the village wall, and the bandits began to prepare for the final attack under the threat of the angry bandit leader.
"Everyone prepare to defend against the enemy! Colin is responsible for the gap on the right side." Odo gave an order, and then jumped down from the arrow tower...
