Mount and Blade

The battle on the city wall became more and more intense. The elite troops of the Snake Cult surged onto the city wall with an unstoppable situation. Their attack was fierce and ruthless. Although the soldiers defending the city fought desperately, their numbers were constantly decreasing and the defense line was gradually broken.

Soon, it came to the situation of street fighting, buying time for the old, weak, women and children to escape, and giving the strong men a gap to take up weapons for self-defense.

The young Alleris could only watch the people under the fortress flee in all directions, and some were killed or violated by the soldiers of the Snake Cult before they could escape.

"No... Don't!" "Mom... Mom..." The cries of women and children and the cruel and barbaric scene hurt Alleris badly.

"Bring a longbow!!" The angry Alleris immediately asked the deputy general for a 1.8-meter-long yew longbow. The heavy texture meant that the person who could shoot this bow must have strong arm strength.

Alleris pulled the bowstring and aimed at a Snake Cult warrior who was entangled with a woman. He took a deep breath, released the bowstring, and shot the arrow at the target like lightning, piercing the enemy's head accurately, causing him to fall to the ground and die.

Seeing this, other soldiers followed Aleris's example and shot the enemy with longbows or crossbows. For a time, arrows rained down, and the snake worship soldiers had to temporarily stop chasing and find cover.

However, this was only a brief respite. Aleris knew that they had to find an effective defense strategy as soon as possible and delay time as much as possible, otherwise the entire fortress would fall.

Reinforcements... I just hope that the reinforcements will arrive in time.

Aleris stared at the enemy formation in the distance, thinking about the next move. He realized that simple bow and arrow shooting could not resist the enemy's attack for a long time, and he had to find a way to create more obstacles.

He turned and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "We need to set up roadblocks! Collect wooden boxes, tables and chairs in the city, pile them on the streets, and stop the enemy's advance!" The soldiers responded immediately and took action quickly.

At the same time, Aleris organized a small team of smart and capable warriors to prepare for harassment behind enemy lines. They quietly went around the enemy's flank, using houses and alleys to carry out guerrilla attacks and disrupt the enemy's rhythm.

The tense atmosphere filled the air, and everyone understood that the outcome of this battle depended on whether they could hold on until the arrival of reinforcements. Aleris prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they could defend the fortress and protect the people in the city.

......

Outside the city.

Barkley's coalition forces finally approached Yaoyang Port, and the smoke and gunfire in the sky made them speed up their march.

On the vast plains of Barkley, the coalition marched like a winding dragon, passing through the dense forest and heading straight for Yaoyang Port.

As the leader of the coalition forces, Isole ordered the cavalry of the coalition forces to rush to the battlefield as a vanguard. Although Trunks was worried about the densely forested road, it seemed that the situation in Yaoyang Port was more critical at the moment.

Don't rush in easily. Trunks had a hunch that the snake worshipers would definitely set up ambushes on both sides of the jungle.

Trunks led his cavalry troops to follow the coalition far behind. He decided to send a reconnaissance team at this time to explore the road conditions ahead.

He selected some agile cavalry as scouts and carefully sneaked into the forest. Soon, the reconnaissance team brought back the news, "Sir, there is an ambush ahead!" A scout's voice was hurried and low.

As he expected, the Snake Cult set traps and ambushes on both sides of the road.

As the road gradually narrowed, it was obviously too late to pass the message to Isole who was far ahead. Trunks made a prompt decision and led his cavalry troops to change the route, trying to bypass this dangerous area, and sent a message to the infantry regiment behind him that they were ready to support at any time.

Trunks led the troops to take a detour along another more winding path, crossing a shallow river on the way, and continued to move along a smooth road under the guidance of the scouts in front.

......

The Barkley scouts that just came made the Viper Tyrant Bugita, who was ambushing in the forest, a little uneasy, even though his shadow walkers had killed most of the scouts.

"Hiss... Don't be so nervous, Bugita, the enemy is here." Cobra Tyrant Desaro spit out his snake tongue, his voice was low and hoarse, his tongue was licking his sharp teeth, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance had caused a slight tremor in the small stones on the ground.

Bugitta took a deep breath and calmed down. He knew that the real battle was about to begin.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, Desaro was also ready for battle. His body gradually swelled, and his eyes flashed with murderous light.

Finally, the vanguard of the coalition appeared in sight. Obviously, they did not notice the threat hidden in the dark.

The ambush soldiers of the Snake Cult moved quietly in the forest, their eyes were full of murderous intent, and the cavalry of the coalition was about to enter their ambush circle.

"Ready!" Bugitta's voice echoed in the forest, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the bowstring until the Barclay coalition entered the encirclement.

"Shoot!" In an instant, flying axes and arrows shot at the coalition from the forest. The coalition cavalry was caught off guard by the sudden attack and immediately fell into chaos. Many soldiers were knocked to the ground by the flying weapons before they could react. The horses raised their front hooves and neighed in fear, and people and horses fell down for a while.

"Attack!!" At this moment, Desaro gave an order, and the Viper Archers and Cobra Knights jumped on their horses and charged at the coalition forces.

As the poisoned weapons of the Snake Cult were thrown, the battle broke out in the woods, and the ambush troops of the Snake Cult and the cavalry of the coalition forces engaged in a fierce confrontation. The sword light kept shuttling through the woods, and the soldiers of both sides fought a life-and-death battle in this small space.

Because it was an unexpected battle, the soldiers of the coalition forces fought each other in the chaos, and did not form a decent formation or counterattack, and their morale was low.

In the chaos, Sarade Williwendu from Rose Castle quickly stood up. He waved his long sword, shouted loudly, organized the soldiers around him, and tried to regroup.

"Brothers, don't mess up! Keep the formation!" His shouts echoed on the battlefield, and some soldiers began to respond to his call, gathered together, and formed a line of defense.

Sarad led the charge and rushed towards the enemy camp. His swordsmanship was sharp and he cut down several elite members of the Snake Cult one after another. Other soldiers were inspired by him and rushed forward one after another.

Gradually, the morale of the coalition forces began to rise, and they started a tough tug-of-war with the ambush troops of the Snake Cult.
