Chapter 952 Siege and Abandonment (Part 2)
"Speed up, speed up!"
While our legion commanders Cole, Corwin, and Butz were working hard to strengthen the defenses in the neighborhood, a roar full of murderous intent rang out from the street corner at the other end of the central city.
I saw Barrow, the commander of the Yorkman family, leading the way, galloping through the open streets like a strong bison, shouting at the endless line of Yorkman soldiers behind him.
"Brave soldiers, those ignorant deer are right in front of you. Let them see the terror of our Yorkman family!"
After Barrow finished speaking, the originally empty block behind him was immediately filled with rows and rows of fully armed soldiers, and the clattering terrain dragon war flags were soon spread in every corner of the block.
Accompanied by the sound of rapid but uniform footsteps and the crisp sound of armor clashing.
When the earth trembled, even the houses on both sides of the block were shaking with dust and faintly shaking.
Hearing Barrow's cry, a group of fierce Yorkman soldiers, with fighting spirit boiling on their faces hidden under their helmets, shouted in unison: "Cut off their heads and pierce their hearts! ”
For a time, the strong murderous aura in the sky was like a storm that blocked the sky and the sun, constantly surging in the city, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
Seeing this scene, Barrow nodded with satisfaction, and a hint of extreme murderous intent appeared in the corner of his mouth.
"Whether it's the despicable alien or these sissies who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, they all must die today!"
On another block not far away, Aubrey, the commander of the Lancaster family, was advancing at the same speed, surrounded by his personal guards.
Because the main force has not yet arrived, among the other 25 two powerful legions that are comparable to the Phytolacca family, the Lancaster family only has 10 legions, and there are only two main legions, which cannot compete with them in terms of combat strength. 15 legions of Yorkman rivals.
In addition, most of them are long-range legions composed of archers and magicians, so under Stone's instruction.
The strategy adopted by the Lancaster family was to focus on auxiliary attacks, first allowing the Yorkman family, who were eager to achieve success, to fight with the Merchant Army, and finally reap the benefits.
In addition to the two wealthy families, almost all of the 150,000 fallen nobles coalition forces in Kyle Castle were concentrated in the central city to assist the two wealthy families in attacking the Phytolacca family.
Since Leonard needs to be stationed in the inner city and cannot command on the spot, compared to the well-organized and well-trained legions of the two wealthy families, the Ming formation of these fallen nobles coalition forces is obviously looser.
But it is undeniable that although the combat power of these fallen nobles' coalition is relatively weak, the fighting spirit revealed in their eyes is not inferior to the other two giants.
After all, in the previous large-scale battles, Lei Xiao had caused both traditional and new nobles to suffer a lot. He had even disgraced these self-righteous nobles and suffered great humiliation.
And this time, it is undoubtedly the best time for them to take revenge and win back their dignity from Lei Xiao.
Endless murderous intent boiled wantonly in the sky above Kell Castle. Under the bright sunshine, the sharp blades sharpened by the murderous intent were particularly dazzling, exuding a biting cold light.
Looking from the bell tower where Buz and others were before, these three mighty and huge forces were like three continuous torrents of steel, black and dense.
The empty blocks were soon filled up, and they quickly moved towards the defensive line just established by the Cole brothers and Butz.
At this point, according to the plan of the Fourth Prince and others, the 40 enemy legions in Kel's Castle were divided into two parts.
Among them, 15 wealthy regiments stayed in the outer city to contain the 15 merchant army regiments from our side that attacked the magic tower.
The other 25 legions were all assembled in the central urban area, trying to wipe out the 10 our merchant army regiments here first.
Because under Lei Xiao's order, our 10 legions in the inner city were divided into two parts, each part had 5 legions, and they established defense lines at both ends of the central area.
Therefore, the Fourth Prince also separated 5 legions from the 25 legions assembled in the central area to contain some of our forces.
The 20 main forces led by Barrow and Aubrey rushed directly towards the other part of our side, which was the five legion forces composed of Cole, Kerwin, and Butz.
Not long after, with Barrow bearing the brunt, 20 menacing legions were already within easy reach of the defensive position just established by Cole, Kerwin and others!
Where Cole and others are located, there are five defensive blocks facing the enemy, which are guarded by five legions.
In the central city of Kellburg, which extends in all directions and can easily accommodate a million people, this is already the most favorable defensive position with terrain.
But in the eyes of the opponent, this is no different from the fat in the mouth.
"I am waiting for 20 legions to come out together and besiege the two main legions and three ordinary legions of the Phytolacca family. It is a piece of cake!"
On one of the defensive blocks, Barrow's eyes were narrowed slightly, looking at the faintly visible Shanglu family flag at the end of the street in front of him, the Juma and Luzhai all over the block, and the tall earthen forts, with a smile on his face. The killing intent that had been permeating his body began to become more and more obvious.
"Then, let me, the Yorkman family, be the protagonist of this killing feast."
"Attack! Destroy the Merchant Family, this group of sissies who know nothing about the world!"
After Barrow finished speaking arrogantly, with the loud noise of "boom boom boom", the Yorkman family magician gunners who were already ready to attack launched the first round of artillery bombardment under the protection of the heavy infantry.
The other four defensive blocks also started magical bombardment almost at the same time.
For a moment, the sound of artillery fire was everywhere in the central city. The continuous sound of artillery shelling shook the air, causing the earth to shake and the sky to shake. The momentum was extremely shocking.
"50,000 vs. 200,000? At least there are still five main legions of Yorkman and Lancaster. The fourth prince really thinks highly of me."
Directly opposite Barrow, facing the menacing bombardment of the Yorkman family's army, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Cole's scarred face.
However, the wry smile soon turned into an uncontrollable fighting spirit. He clenched the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Counterattack, although the opponent has more people and strength, it does not occupy the terrain advantage!"
Before Cole could finish his words, Barrow's magic bombardment was already roaring towards him.
Just when the enemy's magic artillery fire was about to approach our frontier bunker, a looming absolute defensive barrier lit up, blocking all the artillery fire from the outside, only to emit a series of violent explosions in mid-air.
However, our counterattack artillery fire was slowed down by the thick wind barrier raised by the opponent. It also did not hurt the opponent at all, and only set off a burst of flames and dust in front of the opponent's camp.
At this point, the first contact between the two sides ended in a draw.
However, even though neither of them hurt the other party, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The number of the opponent's magic cannons is obviously much higher than ours. Coupled with the thick wind barrier, the result is self-evident.
Once the absolute defense barrier is broken, this kind of earthen fortress hastily built with magic will obviously not be able to resist the opponent's magic cannon in the slightest.
"It's a small trick, let me see, General, how many rounds you can still resist!"
Barrow looked confident and laughed arrogantly: "Repent, you scumbags of the Merchant Family! If you didn't join the camp of the despicable aliens, you might be able to survive for a few days, but now, what awaits you There is only one way to die!”
"That's right, it's true that there is a road in heaven that you can't take, but you can't find a way on earth and come in!"
The adjutants and guards around Barrow also burst out laughing and chattering.
"I've long been unhappy with you, these pampered young men. This time, none of you can even think of leaving here alive!"
"That's right, a businessman family that spends all day calculating is actually worthy of being called a cold-flame wealthy family along with our Yorkman family. It's really laughable!"
"So what if you join the camp of that despicable alien? What awaits you is still death!"
Accompanied by the arrogant laughter of Barrow and others, the magic artillery fire became more fierce every time, and it sounded continuously, and the madness was poured out on the absolute defensive barrier covering the earthen castle.
The flames continued to rise, thick smoke filled the sky over the city, and the aftermath of the explosion splashed everywhere. The surrounding buildings were soon riddled with holes, turned into broken walls and piles of rubble, and even razed to the ground.
This undoubtedly makes the originally narrow neighborhood become more spacious, making defense more difficult.
After a while, the magic flow of the translucent defensive barrier gradually weakened, and cracks even appeared on the surface. It was already in a precarious state.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Phytolacca family, including Cole, instead of showing fear on their faces, were filled with fighting spirit.
Everyone clearly understands that this battle is a near-death battle, but the courage of the Shangluc family soldiers will be engraved by time on this anxious land!
Crash.
There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, and the absolute defense barrier was finally shattered.
What greeted Cole and others was a shower of arrows mixed with artillery fire, as well as Yorkman family soldiers rushing up one after another.
In order to eliminate Cole and others as quickly as possible, Barrow did not hesitate to choose an all-out attack under the cover of artillery fire and arrows.
After all, the Yorkman family is famous for being good at close combat. Coupled with the numerical advantage, this will definitely be a war without any suspense.
Countless combat boots stepped on the ground, and the ground was shaking crazily, shaking the hearts of the soldiers of the Phytococcus family.
Without the protection of the absolute defensive barrier, he was covered by the opponent's artillery fire and arrows.
In the camp of the Merchant Family, screams suddenly resounded throughout the sky, and the originally tight formation fell into disarray. Even the towering earthen castles were mostly reduced to free energy particles.
Although the counterattack was also carried out in an orderly manner, due to the disparity in numbers, everything seemed insignificant and pale.
"Soldiers, they regard us as frost sheep and want to slaughter us all. Don't you know that we are waiting for this day!"
Looking at the enemy soldiers attacking like a flood, Cole raised his sword high and said as if he were dead: "Hold your position and let them taste our power!"
Under Cole's cry and leadership, the main army of the Phytolacca family remained calm in the face of danger, and quickly re-formed a battle formation to fight the menacing Yorkman family soldiers.
Fierce sounds of fighting and screams immediately resounded throughout the city. Splattered blood flowed freely on the broken stone road. In the blink of an eye, the already riddled neighborhood was dyed bright red.
The warhammer shattered the shield, the long sword pierced the breastplate, broke the war flags scattered on the ground, rolled past two enemy and friendly soldiers who were fighting hand to hand, and the iron fists he swung flew away the teeth in his mouth.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the war directly entered a fierce stage.
Although the Phytolacca family's battle formation was quite strong, it soon fell apart under the successive charges of Yorkman soldiers, but that was all.
The large-scale neighborhood melee that followed quickly made the Yorkman family soldiers, who looked fierce, aware of the situation.
These young men who look like they have been separated from each other for a long time are actually extremely difficult to deal with, and are not even inferior to those well-trained elites from other countries on the border battlefield.
The merchant army's small military formation, which was organized as a small team, cooperated very well and could easily kill lone enemy soldiers, once occupying a considerable advantage.
But these soldiers of the Yorkman family, after all, are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. After suffering some losses at first, they soon became cautious and fought against the Phytolacca family again.
On the fierce and extremely fierce battlefield, although the strength of the enemy and ours was almost equal, the number of enemies led by the Yorkman family was more than several times that of our Merchant Army Regiment, which quickly put our side at a disadvantage.
This is not only reflected in the legion commanded by Cole, but the situation of the other four legions is also similar.
Especially the ordinary legions led by Buz and three other legion commanders showed their decline in a short period of time and began to retreat steadily.
"Hahaha, stop resisting here, you are already the abandoned sons of that despicable guest!"
In the melee and bloody battlefield, the tomahawk in Barrow's hand was seen drawing a fatal trajectory, hitting the panting Cole, laughing loudly: "The despicable guest has given up on you, you are resisting here. What’s the point?”
After hearing Barrow's words, the merchant soldiers around them who were gritting their teeth and fighting could not help but have sad expressions on their faces. Their morale was obviously affected a lot.
"Stop confusing the public with your lies here. You are just bullying the few by bullying the many. What is there that is worthy of praise?"
Cole swung the sharp sword in his hand, blocked the opponent's fierce attack with all his strength, and said coldly: "As long as we are still fighting, everything will not end!"
"He's just an insignificant outcast, but he's still here talking so shamelessly!"
Barrow's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the battle ax in his hand suddenly flashed with cold light. He swung it at the panting Cole again and roared: "Then you must die for me first!" (End of Chapter)
