Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

As the first military fortress to resist the eastward invasion of the Kuyers, Mirdaforg is not only large in scale, but also has up to 3,000 garrisons stationed here all year round due to its strategic location.

Unlike the militia and guards of the nobles in the interior, the soldiers stationed in Mirdaforg are professional full-time soldiers who have been strictly selected and trained for a long time.

Before the invasion of the Kuyers, they received high-intensity military training day after day, and their physical fitness, tactical skills and fighting will were first-class.

In addition, the weapons and equipment they were equipped with were also the most sophisticated in the kingdom, from swords to bows and crossbows, all of which were carefully selected.

However, since the Kuyers brazenly launched the eastward invasion, this military fortress has been caught in a tragic and protracted war.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Kuyers, the 3,000 defenders fought desperately, but the number of the Kuyers was too large and they were extremely fierce. Even if they were well-trained and well-equipped, they still lost 2,000 people one after another.

Now the number of defenders in the fortress has been reduced to less than a thousand. However, as time goes by, the remaining thousand warriors are also decreasing at an alarming rate.

But for the Kuyel people, in order to capture this fortress, they also suffered heavy casualties, but this nail must be pulled out. Only in this way can they go deep into the interior of the Kingdom of Estra to plunder the population and rob supplies with peace of mind.

At this moment, after more than a month of war, the originally prosperous streets of Milda Castle have long become deserted, with few pedestrians.

Occasionally, a few living people who still have a breath can be seen, leaning against the mottled wall with lifeless eyes, staring blankly at the gloomy and gray sky, as if they have died.

On the city wall, the exhausted defenders clenched their short spears in their hands and huddled in the cold corners of the wall.

The iron armor on their bodies has long been incomplete, covered with blood and dust, their faces are also full of fatigue, and their eyes are full of numbness.

"The Kuyel people have started to attack!!!"

Suddenly, a cry of terror exploded in the air, instantly breaking the brief silence on the city wall.

In an instant, the originally exhausted defenders seemed to be under a spell, dragging their bodies back to their respective combat positions at the fastest speed. Their movements were quick and agile, as if they had already engraved the process of dealing with the enemy's attack into their bones.

"Crossbowmen! Crossbowmen!"

On the city wall, an officer shouted loudly, waving the flag in his hand, looking anxious.

"Crossbowmen, come forward! Come forward!!!"

"Quick, quick, quick!!!"

Other officers also shouted, trying to make their voices drown out the fierce noise around them.

While shouting, they gestured with their hands, trying to command the few crossbowmen to adjust their positions, pull the strings and put arrows in preparation for the enemy.

Under the city wall, it was a sea of ​​black. Numerous naked slave soldiers pushed various siege vehicles and slowly advanced while shouting slogans.

These siege vehicles were built by craftsmen captured from the villages and manors near the border after the Kuyel people invaded the east.

The craftsmen who should have belonged to the Kingdom of Estra built siege equipment for the enemy to attack their own country.

Behind these siege vehicles, there were thousands of Kuyel tribal warriors who were eyeing them.

They lined up in a loose queue, naked, revealing their bronze muscles and hideous scars, holding shields and scimitars, staring fiercely at the city wall in front of them, and everyone exuded a wild breath.

In addition, some slave soldiers carried sacks full of soil, their eyes were bloodshot, and they ran desperately towards the trench outside the city wall.

Their steps staggered, but they did not stop at all. It seemed that they had only one thought in mind, to quickly throw down the sacks on their bodies and flee from here.

"Shoot!!!"

Seeing that the slaves filling the trenches had entered the range of the crossbowmen, the officers in the garrison issued the attack order without hesitation.

As the order came out, in an instant, the sound of the bowstring vibrating and the sound of the crossbow firing intertwined, forming a deafening roar.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Countless arrows and crossbow arrows flew towards the slave soldiers under the city like locusts passing through.

For a moment, the sky seemed to be covered by this dense rain of arrows, and the sun could hardly penetrate.

The slaves who were running had no time to dodge and were hit by the falling arrows.

There were screams one after another. Some people fell to the ground and died on the spot, and their blood dyed the ground red. Some people were shot by several arrows, but they still struggled to move forward, but in the end they were stillThey fell down helplessly.

The entire battlefield instantly turned into a purgatory on earth, and the breath of blood and death filled the air.

However, those slave soldiers who survived by chance still gritted their teeth and rushed towards the trench in front of them regardless of everything.

Even if arrows kept falling like raindrops above their heads, they just lowered their heads slightly to avoid them, and then continued to charge forward.

The battle has lasted for more than a month. During this period, the originally wide and deep trench outside Milda Castle has been almost filled.

As these slave soldiers once again struggled to throw sacks filled with earth and stones into the trench, the last bit of space was finally completely filled.

Suddenly, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, and the defenders looked up and saw huge stones wrapped in sharp wind, rushing straight towards the city wall.

"Throwing stones!!!"

The terrified shouts still resounded throughout the city wall.

The expressions on the faces of the archers who had just finished a round of shooting froze instantly and turned pale in an instant.

They didn't even have time to collect their bows and arrows, and turned around in panic and ran towards the city.

With a loud "bang", several stones hit the city wall fiercely.

The battlements on the wall were smashed into several shocking huge gaps, bricks and stones collapsed, dust flew, and the whole scene was a mess.

Several sharp pieces of gravel splashed out at high speed due to the impact of the stones accurately hit several defenders who were relatively close.

These unfortunate defenders were knocked to the ground by the gravel before they could react, and in just a moment, the bright red blood gushed out from under them.

At this moment, the heavy siege equipment in the rear also began to accelerate forward.

They staggered over the trench that had just been filled, making a creaking sound, and slowly approached the towering city wall.

Some impatient tribal warriors could not even wait for the siege equipment to arrive at the city wall, so they directly carried long ladders and roared towards the city wall like angry beasts.

The officers on the city wall saw this scene and their faces instantly became gloomy.

He ordered without hesitation: "Crossbowmen, get ready, shoot hard! Don't let these barbarians get close to the city wall!"

The frightened crossbowmen mustered up their courage and drew their bows. They knew that if the enemy rushed up, their situation would be even more dangerous.

As the voice fell, countless sharp arrows cut through the sky and poured towards the enemies who were charging madly.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound. It turned out that a battering ram was pushed to the city gate by many tribal warriors, and began to hit the city gate violently, causing the entire city gate to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
