I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 112
Rumbling--

Accompanied by the roar of landslides and ground cracks, the wall of the mine stronghold that had been bombarded by Shutheory finally couldn't bear the pressure, and was knocked down for a while, and a large number of stones scattered all around, and the barbarian infantry standing around dodged It was too late to be smashed by the stones falling from the sky, crying for their fathers and mothers. Fortunately, Bradley asked the soldiers to evacuate the wall in advance to prevent more people from being buried in the ruins.

Looking at the collapsed place in the distance, Kronos clicked his tongue, "It took a whole morning to knock down the wall. This efficiency is really too slow."

"General, this efficiency is already the fastest." A ballista operation team leader standing not far from him said speechlessly, "This is still not a strong wall. If it is the wall of Pella City, It may take several days for our twenty instruments to collapse."

Kronos: ...

He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, then looked at the trumpeter and standard bearer beside him, and ordered: "Blow the attack horn and launch an attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the trumpeter immediately blew the horn in his hand. The dull and distant sound of the horn sounded from behind the Macedonian army formation, and quickly spread to everyone's ears, echoing in the sky outside the stronghold.With the blowing of the horn, the barbarian auxiliaries deployed in front of the Macedonian heavy infantry shouted loudly, struck their shields with their weapons, and at the same time hurried towards the gap in the wall of the stronghold.

Mixed in among these barbarian infantry are some light infantry armed with bows and arrows. Under the cover of the tribesmen, they will walk into the shooting range and shoot at the sporadic enemies on the wall.

After the horn sounded for the Macedonian attack, Bradley quickly ordered the soldiers under his command to enter the combat positions. Each of their soldiers with a shield was gathered behind the gap to form an airtight shield formation. Those who used javelins The infantry with bows and arrows also ran up the wall that was not destroyed by the ballista and catapults, and made preparations for the battle.

The light infantry of the two armies who were the first to confront each other, after entering the shooting range, the barbarian archers mixed in the attacking crowd stopped in place, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the Brits protruding from the wall, although their number Fewer, but everyone is a hunter who has been active in the forest all year round, and they are almost perfect. The Britts on the wall were caught off guard, and several of them fell down at once. The rest quickly hid behind the wall and sent out exclaimed loudly.

"Fight back! Fight back!"

The Britt people on the wall shouted, and several people holding bows and arrows immediately stood up and shot at the barbarian army approaching outside. The sporadic arrows could not cause any harm to the barbarian army standing on the Macedonian side. Blocked by a raised shield.As they got closer and closer, in addition to arrows, more powerful javelins appeared in mid-air. The javelins thrown at close range could easily penetrate the shields and directly kill the barbarian infantry below.

Casualties arise from this.

The casualties of a few people did not stop the barbarian infantry from advancing. Amidst the roaring battle roars from both sides, the barbarian servant army rushed into the gap in the wall like a flood, and collided head-on with the Britt army who was waiting in full formation behind. At the moment of the collision, the huge sound made by the collision of the shields and the angry roar that was almost impossible for a human being made the whole wall tremble.

Some servant soldiers used both hands and feet, and climbed directly onto the shield wall formed by the Britts like monkeys, condescendingly slashing at the shields below them, or stepping on one shield after another to try to jump to the back of the shield array , but the Britts under their feet obviously wouldn't let them get what they wanted. They stabbed their sharp long swords through the gap in the shields, cut off the ankles of the servant soldiers, and then turned over the shields, causing the wounded and screaming enemies to fall. Entering their shield formation, several sharp swords crazily pierced into the servant soldier's body, stabbing him into a puddle of meat.A Faromian warrior was raising his battle-axe to strike at the shield under his feet, but a Britt archer on the wall spotted him, and before he could strike, he shot a deadly arrow like lightning. Like flying through the air, he got into his back, and the arrow pierced through his chest, spraying out a bloody arrow.

While those barbarian infantry were fighting in the civil war, Kronos did not let the Macedonian heavy infantry watch the show behind, but ordered them to carry up the ladders prepared in advance to attack the wall. There are more than enough enemies here and there.Therefore, when the Britt light infantry was still condescending to output the barbarian servants on the wall, they were unaware of the imminent danger. They didn't react until the first heavily armed heavy infantry climbed up the ladder. But it is already too late.

Although the Macedonian heavy infantry abandoned the Duolu spear and replaced it with the secondary weapon Kopis machete or Sifos dagger to fight, they were still able to easily kill the light infantry on the wall. After the screams subsided, the wall The flag on the ground was replaced with the Vigina Sun flag of the Kingdom of Macedonia, and a large number of heavy infantry rushed into the stronghold along the stairwell, emerging from the flanks of Britt's army fighting behind the gap, and caught the opponent by surprise.

The Britt infantry soon discovered that the enemies emerging from the flanks were more difficult to deal with than the enemies fighting head-on, and their equipment was also more elite. The Britts deployed on the flanks were killed after resisting, and their shields The formation also began to waver.But at this moment, Britt's reserve team, who had not been engaged in the battle, finally caught up and fought fiercely with the Macedonian heavy infantry, sharing the pressure of their front-line comrades.

At the beginning, the barbarian reserve team was able to overwhelm the Macedonian heavy infantry by virtue of their numerical superiority, forcing the opponent to retreat again and again, but as more and more heavy infantry rushed out from the stairwell of the wall to join the battle, the Britts also Getting harder and harder, gradually retreating.Chief Bradley, who was watching the battle at the back, knew that this stronghold might not be able to hold on, so he quickly turned around and ran towards the trail with a few of his cronies. He even thought of what he would say when he went back: Macedonian The people's offensive was too fierce, and the garrison at the stronghold couldn't resist. In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated there, no one returned to the city to report the incident, so he had to abandon his glory and flee back to the city.

The news of Bradley's escape quickly spread throughout the stronghold. When the barbarian warriors who were still fighting at the corner saw that the chief had abandoned him and ran away, his fighting spirit instantly collapsed. As the first person surrendered, the second and third people followed suit, and this stronghold was soon occupied by the Macedonians.
