Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 154: , the siege of Yulsen
More than 18,000 people from the Central Route Army began to return, and Marquis Anghe and his lieutenant, Baron Pierre, discussed the military situation. After the Left Route Army was wiped out, the Knight Road War was actually doomed to fail.
"After Adelaide's foolish defeat, our war this time has been lost." The Marquis of Anhey said bitterly, he really wished that Adelaide had died in battle.
"There is no way now, we have to go back to support Jursen Castle, where a large amount of military supplies and food for the army are stored!" Baron Pierre said anxiously, "There are only a thousand defenders in Jursen Castle. With dozens of knights, they won't last long in the face of the Beastmen army."
"What do you mean we are marching directly?" Marquis Anchy thought for a moment and asked Baron Pierre for his opinion.
Baron Pierre nodded immediately: "We must hurry up, the army only has seven days of food left, and without Yulsen's supply, the soldiers will collapse once they run out of food."
The Marquis of Anxi nodded in agreement. His army had not much food left. Before, they all relied on the supply of Yoelsen Castle. Now they have lost their food and grass supplies. Once there is no food, even the strongest knight will not be able to. No strength to fight.
But the blond and blue-eyed Marquis thought for a while, then shook his head suddenly: "No, no, Pierre, you say, we can think of this level, can't the Beastmen think of it? Do you know what tactics I have in mind?"
"The Beastmen will besiege Yulsen's castle, but they will not attack, but will allow Adelaide and his group of soldiers to tremble and panic in the tall castle, and then... the Beastmen are very It is possible that an ambush will be set up on our way back, and we will be caught off guard!"
The Marquis of Anxi graduated from the Knights Academy in Curona. He has excellent skills in tactics. He is sensitively aware that if he wants to return to the castle of Yoelsen as soon as possible, they want it, and the Beastmen also want it.
"Send a large number of scouts, be sure to let us know whether there is an ambush nearby!"
"Yes!" the knights responded loudly.
Sure enough, during the next two days of marching, relying on a large number of scouts and rangers to scout at all costs, the scouts discovered the ambush many times, and the middle route army was able to move forward cautiously. On the way back.
The Beastmaster "Blood Horn" Malas immediately realized that humans had been prepared for an ambush, so he changed his strategy and began to attack the Castle of Yulsen with all his strength.
Driven by the Beastmaster, the Beastmen gangs attacked the castle of Jursen one by one. The inferior horned beasts cut down the forest and made simple ladders. The Cyclops grabbed the stones and used the riprap to suppress the serf archers on the tower.
The Earl of Adelaide hid anxiously inside the tower. Every scream outside and the sound of a hard object would make the Earl collapse alive. In a daytime attack, the castle killed more than a dozen knights. More than two hundred serf soldiers.
Fortunately, the gate of the castle was strong enough, and the Beastmen lacked powerful siege weapons. After today's storm, relying on the constant sacrifice and sworn protection of the knights and soldiers, the Beastmen threw their corpses on the ground and retreated.
At night, humans need rest, but beastmen don't, so the anxious Earl of Adelaide immediately grabbed the magical communication: "My marquis, my marquis, this is already the third night, what about the promised reinforcements? "
"The Beastmen have set up a lot of ambushes on the road of the march! We must proceed carefully, Adelaide, the Beastmen should not attack you with all their strength." Marquis Anhi's puzzled voice came from the magic communication.
"No! The Beastmen are attacking Yulsen with all their strength, and they are attacking Yulsen with all their strength!" Adelaide shouted frantically towards the magic communicator: "Listen, my marquis , that's the voice that I and my soldiers are resisting!"
The roars of the Beastmen and the sound of boulders hitting the stone wall came from outside the tower. Obviously, after a short rest, another round of the Beastmen's offensive was about to begin.
"What? Hello? Adelaide? Can you hear me? Hold on, hold on, we will be there in a day at most!" Marquis Anhi immediately realized that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
The Beastmen have given up ambushing them on the road, and have instead turned to storm the castle.
So he immediately ordered the middle route army to quickly pull out the camp and speed up to return to Yulsen Castle.
"Do you want to notify the right army to come to support?" some knights asked.
"No need, we are enough." The Marquis of Anxi is confident in wiping out the Beastmen army, and he does not want the third son of the Holy Grail Knight and the Duke of Red Dragon to share the credit, and the right road army will be returned. Aid will take several days.
Along the way, Earl Adelaide's requests for help came one after another, and each time it was more critical than before.
At noon on September 13, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. It was a rare good weather in the forest.
The situation of Yoelsen Castle has been extremely deteriorating. More than half of the defenders have suffered casualties, and only a small number of people are still stubbornly resisting. The rain of arrows released from the city walls has been very sparse. Smoke is billowing everywhere in the castle, and many city walls have been severely damaged. , the beasts have come to the gate of the castle.
The battering ram made of wood is hitting the city gate, making a rumbling sound. Above the city gate tower, the sergeants are directing the serfs to shoot down arrows. , but more horned beasts rushed up. The battering ram made of tree trunks was very simple, and the effect was not good. The city gate was smashed and swayed, but there was no sign of breaking open.
Continuously attacked, the Beastmen also suffered heavy casualties, corpses piled up near the castle, and even the ravines were filled up.
A doomsday bull walked up to the Beastmaster "Bloodhorn" Malas. It was panting heavily, with a lot of hot air from its nostrils: "The city gate... strong, the wood... fragile."
"We... can't open... the city gate." The Doomsday Bull said towards the Beastmaster.
"Waste...waste!" The Beastmaster shouted angrily, he knew that he had to buy time now, and the army of knights might appear at any time: "Give me...attack again!"
"Attack again... can't open... the city gate." The Doomsday Bull continued.
"...Uh... it's all waste." The Beastmaster pushed the doomsday bull away, and it grinned: "It's okay... We have... Greer."
After that, under the order of the Beastmaster, a five-meter-tall Cyclops walked out of the Beastmen's team.
"Grill! Greer! Greer!" All the Beastmen shouted the name of the Cyclops, only to see a few Beastmen put a huge black boulder in front of the Cyclops, the Cyclops After screaming a few times, he lifted the boulder and staggered towards the gate of the castle.
"Grill! Greer! Greer!"
The earl of Adelaide in the castle also heard the roar of the beastmen outside. The earl with sweat on his face hesitated again and again, picked up the magic transmitter, and then took out a gem.
After the connection was made, before the Marquis of Anchy could speak, the Earl of Adelaide said in a heart-piercing voice: "My Marquis, the castle has reached its limit, and we have also reached the limit. There are more than 300 living people left."
"My marquis, my marquis, for the sake of the lady and the king, quickly reach out and give your brother a hand! Where are our reinforcements?"
There was silence in the messenger for a while, and then the voice of Marquis Anchy came out.
"We are already rushing to Yoelsen Castle at full speed, Earl Adelaide, please hold on for the last thirty minutes, please hold on for the last thirty minutes, we will arrive at you soon!"
Adelaide put down the magic messenger, the gem has been dimmed, this is the last gem of the castle, and it is the last chance to talk.
At the gate, the one-eyed giant Greer held a black boulder in his hand and stumbled to the gate of the city.
"Grill! Greer! Greer!"
"Uhhhhh!" The Cyclops lifted the black boulder and placed it on his head, and then, relying on the force of the impact, slammed his head against it, and then fainted from the pain.
The city gate finally collapsed in the wild beastman's spree.
…………
An hour later, the Marquis of Anchy finally led the army of chivalry and arrived at the Castle of Jursen.
In the distance, the castle of Yoelsen was still billowing with thick smoke, the bodies of countless beastmen were scattered around the city walls, and the filthy blood stained the river red.
"It seems that we are not late." The knights stretched out their hands to wipe their sweat. They had been marching forcibly all day and night, and the army of more than 18,000 people finally arrived in front of the castle of Jursen.
To make matters worse, the army was running out of food. In the four-day march, the Knights Road army now only had three days of food and grass left.
The army of knights gradually approached the castle of Yulsen, and the knights gradually smelled a different breath.
Quiet.
It was so quiet.
"The situation is not right, assemble the army and prepare to fight!" Marquis Anhi also realized that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to signal the army to stop advancing, and then divided into several groups to stand by. He himself rode to the front of the army: "Adelaide? "
"Adelaide?"
Some black figures appeared on the tower, and a round ball-like thing was dropped from the tower: "Your... earl... for you!"
"what!"
"Give you... all to you... return the human... to the human being!" The trebuchet on the castle was violently opened, and countless things like rubble were sprayed out from the castle. Fly away with the army of knights.
"Concealment!" The knights were still shouting for concealment, but those things flew very fast, they seemed to be very light, and even if they were hit, they didn't do much damage.
"Ah, ah, ah!" When those "stones" fell into the crowd, many serfs couldn't help crying out in fear, and they were so scared that they backed away.
It's the head! So many heads!
It's the head of a knight! It's the head of a sergeant! The heads of serfs! There are even the heads of many servants and women in the castle!
"Ah, ah, ah!" Many heads were still bleeding. Their temporary fear and despair brought deep pressure to the serfs. Some serfs turned around in fright and were about to flee. Although the knights worked hard to suppress the fears of the serfs and encouraged their low morale, the serfs were still full of shakes, and they did not believe the words of these knight masters.
Without the Holy Grail Knight, they were already terrified in their hearts.
"Damn it!" The Marquis of Onchy looked at Adelaide's head falling in front of him, and he knew that Ulsen Castle had fallen.
The Beastmen's main attack on the castle also suffered great losses. The corpses around the castle were already piled up around the entire castle, so the Marquis led the army of Knights Road to besiege the remaining Beastmen in the castle.
In this way, the offensive and defensive side reversed.
More than 18,000 Knight Road troops camped around Ulsen Castle. In order to prevent the beasts from coming to support, the Marquis arranged the army of the Duchy of Connet as a reserve team to ambush the periphery, and he personally led the Knight Road army. Start the attack on Jursen Castle.
"Forward! My men! For the lady and the king! For Britannia!"
"For the lady and the king! For Brittany!"
The first is the charge of the serf infantry regiment. These serfs were given priority to catch up with the knights. They shouted slogans and formed a dense front under the fierce eyes of the knights. Most of the serf infantry only wore leather armor. There is also no shield.
Arrows are raining down on the city wall, and the bad-horned beasts shamelessly use a large number of captured arrows. These weapons for defending the city have become their possessions. Thousands of bad-horned beasts are densely arranged in the castle. On the serious tower, it brought great losses to the Knights Road army.
After the serfs fell in pieces, the sergeants holding shields and wearing chainmail or breastplates continued to attack, and then came the dismounted knights. For this, the Beastmaster of the Beastmen had long been prepared, and they took them out of the castle armory. A large number of spears and throwing axes suppressed the attack of the knights through firepower.
For a whole day, the Knight Road army organized five waves of offensives. Although they entered the castle at the deepest point, they were all repelled by the Beastmen.
The knights suffered heavy casualties, and the Beastmen left hundreds of corpses.
The terrain of the castle occupying the top of the mountain has great fluctuations, and there are rivers interspersed in it. The continuous charge of the knights has been repelled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The corpses stacked into mountains have hindered the attacking routes of the knights. Military supplies ensure that the Beastmen have enough arrows, and the knights have never been able to take advantage. Even if a few knights and sergeants can rush into the castle, the giant minotaur and the bighorn war group can always harvest them one by one. .
From noon to sunset, the final decision of the battlefield situation is the doomsday bull and the four-armed bull demon. These terrifying large monster troops not only repelled the charge of the hordes of dismounted knights, but even killed all the serf archers who were covering them, the knight said. The army had to retreat.
The Marquis of Anchy began to feel bad. He first scolded the serfs for their lowness and cowardice, and then he hoped for a night raid. The Marquis personally selected his elite to attack the castle in the dark.
It's a pity that the Beastmen are better at night fighting than the knights. After the knights approached the castle, they were forced back by a large number of arrows and javelins. The two sides fought fiercely until dawn. With a fatal blow, the knights had to retreat again.
After a day of fighting, the Beastmen lost more than 2,000, and the Knight Road army lost more than 200 knights and more than 3,000 serf soldiers.
The battle situation was in a stalemate. The Knight Road army surrounded the remaining more than 7,000 Beastmen troops in a small area near the castle and the castle, but they were still unable to destroy them. The Beastmen army tried to break through under the command of the Beastmaster. All failed, so they made up their minds to stay and wait for reinforcements.
The Marquis of Anxi knew that the reinforcements of the Beastmen must be on the way, and there was not much time left for him, and even less food left for him.
Knight Road army, there are only two days of rations left~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Do you want to find the latest chapter yourself? You are OUT, follow the beauty editor on WeChat to help you find books! It's really not wrong to read books and flirt with girls!
