Chapter 161 Fortress Attack and Defense 2
More and more rebel soldiers jumped onto the fortress wall, and the defenders desperately tried to prevent them from expanding their breach.
All six rebel ladders were successfully put up on the city wall. The battles at the two attack points on the left and the two attack points on the right were stalemate, but the situation at the two middlemost points was not optimistic.
The rebel soldiers who rushed up from these two places were all beaten to death. They were shouting with red eyes and struggling to attack the defenders. Moreover, they did not seem to care whether the other party stabbed or chopped them. Every move of the sword is in an attacking stance.
However, the defenders did not injure them very much. These soldiers, who were obviously wearing leather armor, seemed to be wearing a set of fine steel plate armor, and it was a complete set from head to toe, even the arms, These parts of the legs can easily block the swords of the defenders.
The knight's squire Bowman was caught in a bitter battle. He was tightly entangled by a rebel soldier.
After a few rounds, he could feel that the opponent's martial arts were not very good, and they only knew the common moves in the army. Anyway, compared to him, who aimed at being a knight and was raised by his father since he was a child. The attendants who instruct martial arts training are far behind.
If it was normal, he felt that a quick move would kill the opponent.
But the soldier in front of him had an almost abnormal defense and strength that far exceeded him. These two advantages made up for the opponent's technical deficiencies.
Every time he hit the opponent's body, Bowman felt as if he had hit a steel plate. In the past, he only felt this way when he hit an enemy wearing heavy armor.
But the opponent is obviously wearing a leather armor, and his movements are flexible. If the opponent is really wearing heavy armor, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to be so flexible.
Bowman couldn't help but think of the report of the seriously injured scout a few days ago. At that time, he and his companions also encountered an enemy whose defense capabilities exceeded common sense.
As a knight's attendant, he was still able to hold off the rebel soldiers who were entangled in him, but the situation was not good for the other ordinary soldiers. The close combat had already begun for more than ten minutes, and around Bowman Several of our own soldiers have fallen, but the other side seems to have suffered no casualties.
At this time he heard the old Duke who was directing the battle on the tower shouting to everyone: "Blunt weapons! Use blunt weapons to attack those enemies that swords cannot deal with!"
A word of reminder. Bowman, although the adults were not sure how the situation reported by the scouts happened, since the opponent has heavy armor-like defense and swords have limited effect on it, then using blunt weapons to attack may have a certain effect. role.
So the fortress urgently prepared a batch of blunt weapons such as war hammers, but the number was not large. Bowman was assigned one, which is now pinned to his waist.
Real blunt weapons are not as big and bulky as most people imagine. For example, Bowman's war hammer, its hammer is actually only the size of an adult's fist, but the non-bard said it is larger than a human head. , weighing hundreds of kilograms at a time is exaggerated.
Bowman dodged to avoid the opponent's attack, put the knight's sword into the sheath with skillful movements, and immediately took off the war hammer from his waist.
After continuing to exchange a few moves with the rebel soldiers, he spotted a flaw in the opponent and used all his strength to swing the warhammer hard and hit the opponent's right arm.
Under the huge reaction force, the jaw of his right hand used to hold the handle of the hammer was numb and painful. When his hand was loosened, the weapon almost fell off.
But at the moment of the hit, the rebel soldier let out a cry of pain. His right arm that was hit immediately became loose, and the sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Bowman was overjoyed: "It works!"
As a thoroughly trained knight squire, of course he would not let go of the good opportunity to beat the drowned dog in front of him, so he used his best to He waved the war hammer continuously at a fast speed and kept greeting the opponent.
After being hit several times on the chest, the rebel soldier seemed to be stunned. He couldn't even dodge and just kept stepping back instinctively.
The knight squire stepped forward, aimed at the opponent's head and hit him hard.
With just a "touch" sound, the rebel soldier was beaten until his brains burst, and he fell backwards on the city wall.
Bowman took a few big breaths. He looked around excitedly and started looking for the next target. However, his heart froze at the first glance.
After many people switched to blunt weapons, although several of the red-eyed rebel soldiers had fallen, the defenders were still being suppressed and beaten by the enemy at this time. Moreover, new enemies are constantly emerging on the siege ladder.
On the one hand, the number of blunt weapons equipped by the defenders is very small, only a few dozen in total. On the other hand, not all soldiers are as skilled as knights and attendants.
Without thinking so much, Bowman immediately waved his warhammer and joined the battle again.
As he pounced on the enemy, he turned to look at Sir Klein in the distance. There were several corpses of enemies lying next to this highly skilled man. At this moment, he was being attacked by numerous enemies. They were surrounded, but the brave knight showed no sign of timidity at all. He waved a pair of flails with fighting spirit to block attacks from the left and right, and from time to time created new wounded or corpses for the rebels.
Seeing the bravery of the people he served, Bowman's worries about his own decline were swept away. The passion for fighting rekindled in his heart, and he roared and rushed towards the enemy he had just chosen. New goals.
......
Watching his own soldiers climbing up the fortress wall, Scott couldn't help laughing.
A fellow mage beside him said: "It seems that the attack went very smoothly."
"Of course!" Scott said with a raised corner of his mouth: "With the blessing of our magic, even mortals can become "It's so powerful."
"I just want to show that master how powerful our enchanters can be."
Scott remembered. A senior person with high authority in the organization. This senior specializes in strengthening his body and is very powerful. Rumor has it that he can single-handedly sweep through an army with just a pair of fists.
But this senior has always looked down upon their enchanters and stubbornly believed that using external objects to enhance combat effectiveness was just a side idea.
"True strength is the strength of your own body. Even when you have nothing, you can crush the enemy with absolute advantage."
Recalling the words full of contempt he said to himself face to face, Scott I felt very unhappy.
Hmph! No matter how strong your body is, it has its limits. Can you still become a god?
Of course, Scott admitted that those enhanced magics are indeed great, but if the organization wants to expand its influence in this world and ultimately achieve its goals, it will inevitably need to arm a large number of mortal armies, and these mortals have limited qualifications , unable to learn subtle magic at all.
Although the organization is researching strengthening magic that can be applied to mortal bodies, this kind of magic often does not last too long. Our mages are extremely precious and are very few in number. Do we have to send people for every battle? Go to a dangerous battlefield to apply strengthening magic to mortal soldiers. If something goes wrong, the losses will be huge.
Enchanters are needed at this time. Enchanters can not only temporarily enchant ordinary equipment before the battle begins, but can also add semi-permanent buffs to the weapons during the manufacturing process.
Cultivate a large number of enchanters, and you can manufacture a large number of enchanted weapons, arm a large number of mortal armies, and bulldoze the world with the advantage of equipment.
What a pity, that adult seems to have gone to the Northwest Bay to do something important and cannot watch our wonderful performance here.
Scott thought with great regret, otherwise he would be able to change his stubborn stereotype of us.
What a pity!
Can’t the chapter name be modified in the VIP chapter? It should be "Fortress Attack and Defense 3", it seems it cannot be changed.
