The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Unfortunately, the quality of these barely scraped cavalry was really poor. Ye Tianlong found that there were even many light cavalry riding traveling horses and pack horses.

With a wave of his hand, more than [-] archers immediately stepped forward and fired arrows at the oncoming cavalry. Thousands of musketeers stepped forward in groups to target the oncoming cavalry. Fire and shoot.

Under the rain of arrows and bullets, the more than one hundred cavalrymen had no chance to approach the artillery position. They were completely destroyed just halfway through the charge.

Seeing that their cavalry was completely wiped out so quickly, the defenders in the city quickly closed the city gate again, apparently preparing to use their remaining troops to defend the city.

However, as Ye Tianlong's three heavy cannons were set up and started shooting at the city wall, the enemy's desire to hold on to the city became a luxury.

The destructive power of the [-]-millimeter-caliber heavy artillery is far beyond that of the small-caliber artillery. Every shell hitting the city wall will cause the seemingly thick earth wall to tremble violently, causing those on the city wall to tremble violently. The enemy soldiers who held on were panicked.

Finally, after one section of the city wall was hit twice in a row, a small section of the city wall was directly destroyed. The defenders on this section of the city wall were caught off guard and almost all of them fell from the top, killing seven or eight people. .

Although the casualties were not large, a small section of the city wall was suddenly blown down, which greatly shook the morale of the enemy troops in the city. After all, the enemy troops were obviously more numerous than our own and their equipment was more sophisticated. If it was If the city wall was there, they might be able to hold on for a few days, but now that a small section of the city wall was easily blown down by the enemy, how could they not panic!

However, the sound of artillery coming from outside the city did not stop for a moment. There were still artillery shells constantly hitting the city wall. Some of the shells were fired too high and would even cross the city wall and fall into the city, directly smashing some houses. Wearing it, the civilians in the city screamed in horror.

There are also some cannonballs that will fall right on the city wall, bouncing and smashing the bones and tendons of the city defenders along the way, causing them to scream in agony.

After more than half an hour of bombardment, the city gate of Talboria Town had been smashed through, and several sections of the city wall had also been blown down, turning the city wall into a sieve leaking air everywhere.

However, the garrison commander in the city still didn't want to give up the city wall directly, even though it was riddled with holes.

Ye Tianlong, however, was not ready to waste any more time and directly ordered a general attack.

As a result, more than a dozen artillery carts were soon pushed by soldiers and slowly approached the town of Talboria. Behind these artillery carts were followed by a large number of archers, musketeers and infantry.

Seeing the enemy approaching, the defenders still on the city wall also entered a state of combat readiness. After the enemy's artillery vehicles entered the range of the crossbows, they controlled the large crossbows on the city wall and fired at them. shooting.

It is a pity that the large crossbow bolts fired by these bed crossbows cannot penetrate the armor of Ye Tianlong's artillery cart. After all, Ye Tianlong's artillery cart has solid armor made of fine steel all over its body, with an average armor thickness of fifty millimeters. Except for Without a power system, it can be regarded as a tank. How can it be penetrated by a mere crossbow?

Soon, Ye Tianlong's artillery carts also began to launch a counterattack. Shells were fired from the muzzles of the small-caliber artillery and bombarded the large crossbows on the city wall.

Although the accuracy of these artillery is actually not very good, because the enemy's large bed crossbows do not have strong armor protection, once they are hit, they are often destroyed, so most of the bed crossbows on the city wall will soon be destroyed. They were all destroyed, and no soldiers dared to control the remaining ones. After all, the scene of the body being smashed by the shell was really terrifying!

As the distance continued to shrink, when it was about [-] meters away, the archers and musketeers who had been slowly advancing behind the artillery truck also poured out one after another, raising their heads towards the city wall. A continuous barrage of arrows and bullets poured out.

Because the crossbowmen in Talboria Town were basically equipped with simple leather and cloth armors, they did not dare to shoot at the enemy's heavy archers and heavy musketeers, and they all hid. Behind the city wall, dodging arrows and bullets fired by the enemy.

The archers on Ye Tianlong's side, regardless of whether they wasted bullets and arrows, kept shooting at the city wall not far away, suppressing the enemy's crossbowmen and preventing them from showing their heads.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Viscount Saul led more than two hundred heavy infantry under his command and quickly rushed under the city wall. Then he took out the hook that Ye Tianlong had given them in advance, threw it upwards, and hooked it with the hook. After reaching the city wall, they began to climb quickly towards the city wall, and some soldiers rushed directly into the city along the gaps made by the cannonballs.

The heavy infantry who rushed into the city directly followed the gap made by the shells in the city wall and saw a lot of enemy defenders hiding on the back of the city wall. So they were not polite and immediately smashed the grenades they had prepared. These defenders.

Facing these grenades that were thrown at them, although most of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Swadia did not know what they were, they also knew that they should be some kind of enemy weapons, so they fled around, trying to Dodge these enemy weapons coming at you.

However, these defenders obviously underestimated the lethality of these enemy weapons. They thought that as long as they were not hit directly by these things, they would be fine. However, with the loud explosions, those enemies who thought they had escaped the attack were The soldiers were drowned by the flames of the explosion.

The soldiers under Viscount Saul, who had been prepared for this for a long time, waited for the grenades to explode, and then rushed towards the enemy troops with various melee weapons that had been replaced in advance.

The enemy defenders, who were in chaos due to the terrible explosion just now, were completely helpless against the enemy heavy infantry with high morale and who were charging at them quickly. They were quickly killed and dispersed. Most of the soldiers were killed directly or captured, and only a small half fled into the city in panic.

Seeing the defeated enemy troops who had fled into the city, Viscount Saul did not let his soldiers continue to pursue him. After all, this street fighting was more dangerous than other types of fighting. Ye Tianlong had told him before that he should try to avoid it. This type of battle avoids too many casualties.

Soon, Ye Tianlong also led his troops to catch up. After asking a subordinate with a loud voice to persuade the remaining defenders in the city to surrender, he waited for the response from the defenders in the city. If the other party could surrender directly, then Naturally, he was too lazy to continue causing killings.

However, the noble lords in this city were obviously hard-core and ignored Ye Tianlong's persuasion to surrender.

Ye Tianlong waited for ten minutes. After finding that the other party had not responded, he understood that this battle was still unavoidable, so he asked a personal guard beside him to send a signal to the combat airship in the air, indicating that it could Launched an attack.

After receiving Ye Tianlong's order, Zhou Jiale immediately commanded the combat airship to slowly fly over Talboria Town, quickly found the location of the city lord's mansion where the enemy troops gathered the most, and dropped bombs from the air. Go down.

Those enemy soldiers obviously did not expect that the enemy could actually launch an attack from the air. Looking at the bombs falling from the sky, the enemy soldiers screamed in panic and rushed towards the surrounding houses, trying to hide in Avoid bomb blasts in civilian houses.

However, these bombs are not much larger than grenades that need to be thrown by soldiers with their hands. After all, they do not require soldiers to throw them at all, but are dropped directly from the combat airship.

After landing, these bombs immediately produced violent explosions. In the face of the shock wave generated by the explosion, the surrounding houses were like fragile building blocks, and they were blown away and collapsed. The enemy soldiers hiding in the houses were Naturally, each one of them was blown to death by the shock wave, or simply buried alive by the collapsed house.

After just one round of aerial bombardment, a white flag was raised on the roof of the dilapidated city lord's palace.

Obviously, facing such an era-defining aerial attack, the noble lord of Talboria Town could not withstand it anymore. He knew that if he continued to resist, the soldiers would die in vain, and he might also be bombed in the chaos. Death, so he decisively chose to follow his heart and let his guards hang the white flag and surrender.

When Ye Tianlong saw the other side hoisting a white flag, he immediately asked Zhou Jiale to stop the aerial bombardment, and then asked someone to shout again, asking all remaining enemy soldiers in the city to put down their weapons and come out of the city to surrender with their hands raised.

This time, as soon as Ye Tianlong finished shouting, a dozen enemy soldiers walked out of the city with embarrassed faces, then dropped their weapons and surrendered obediently with their hands raised high.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Ye Tianlong discussed with Viscount Saul which town to attack next.

From the map, the closest ones to the town of Talboria are the town of Childe and the castle of Kelridan. This town and the castle are also very close to each other like Natosdel and Fort Dechio. In case of support, it would only take up to half a day for the reinforcements to arrive.

So Ye Tianlong was ready to find other targets, but Viscount Saul, after the extremely easy siege battle just now, felt that his side could quickly capture a small town in a few hours with the help of firearms. So even if Kyle Redan Castle is very close to Child Town, you can still give it a try.

In the end, Viscount Saul took the initiative and asked him to lead more than [-] soldiers under his command to fight first. If they couldn't fight, they would retreat immediately. He would never act recklessly.

Seeing that Viscount Saul had made up his mind, Ye Tianlong could not persuade him to change his mind, so he could only agree to the other party's suggestion. However, he also asked Zhou Jiale to control the large combat airship and attack with Viscount Saul for him. Provide reconnaissance and air cover to prevent them from being ambushed by the enemy again like last time.
