Realm of Power

While the fat man was stunned, the light infantry of the Tiger Legion had already begun to climb towards the city wall. Although the defenders of the fortress were shooting desperately from above, the more than 1,000-meter-long city wall was stretched thin by the defenders, who only had a few hundred people.

The Satsuma crossbowmen on the city wall kept shooting at the light infantry who climbed up the siege ladder. When the corpses fell from the siege ladder, new bucklers would immediately replace them, and the defenders' spears would climb up the city wall. The leading light infantry was driven down the city wall, and another group continued to come up. The two sides strangled each other, and screams resounded through the city wall. Blood spattered from the ladder and stained the faces of the soldiers waiting below. The fallen corpses were often trampled. underfoot

The densely packed heads under the city were like rising tide, surging towards the outer wall of Toda Fortress, which was originally low. One wave hit and dissipated into fragments, and another bigger wave followed. Part of the city wall was about to be lost, although Samoer human The resistance was heroic, but there were too many enemies. In order to achieve a sudden and overwhelming attack, Helisatus put all the two light infantry regiments and archer brigade of the legion into it. Under the city of Toda Fortress, there were enough More than six thousand people gathered,

Six thousand people versus several hundred people. This gap cannot be made up by relying on city walls. In the woods in front of Toda Fortress, a black line slowly appeared. A light cavalry regiment of about 8,000 people appeared in the woods and did not continue to move. He just looked on coldly at the two sides fighting fiercely on top of the city.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The archery brigade that entered the attack range began to rain arrows on the Satsuma crossbowmen on the city wall. The Satsuma people on the top of the city fell and said "Woo!" As the archer brigade below the city began to fight back, the soldiers on the city wall The Samoans finally couldn't stand it anymore and blew their trombones to abandon the city wall.

"Haha! The Samoan army is nothing more than that!" Helisatus, the leader of the Tiger Army who served as the forward, smiled contemptuously. Looking at the light infantry regiment that was about to swarm up the outer wall of the fortress, he turned back disapprovingly and stood beside him. Standing was a middle-aged knight with a deep face, and several light cavalry in mail armor behind him. A long bloody cloak made people look at him.

This is the sign of the commander of the Kingdom's Guards. For this middle-aged knight, Helisatus showed a rare awe. Even though he was arrogant, he did not dare to show too much. The Kingdom's Guards It is not only a sign of strength, but also a sign of status, which is not something that a second-rate army like myself can offend.

"Commander of the Tatiso Flag, am I right? With the combat power of our Tiger Legion, it will only take an hour at most to capture such a loosely defended fortress. Lord Duacli actually sent your Eighth Flag. I really look down upon those stupid peasants from Samoer to come here to assist in the attack!”

"Commander Helisatus, you are too polite!" The middle-aged knight did not pay attention to Helisatus's arrogance. Among the private army generals in terms of seniority, Helisatus was also considered an alternative, because in his early years His family was in poverty, and he worked as a mercenary on the battlefield for several years. He was always known for his flamboyant personality and tenacious style. Most of the troops under his command also adhere to this habit. The troops are strong in attack but insufficient in defense. They are good at fighting hard and deadly battles. Even the Kugit Guards Cavalry Group, this idiot dares to touch it, so this time Duaik Marquis Li specially sent him here because he was afraid that this idiot would go crazy again and delay the important event.

"The Marquis of Duacry has repeatedly told us that this fortress is related to the overall situation of the entire campaign. If the commander of the regiment needs any help, just ask! Although our Eighth Banner Regiment is a light cavalry regiment, please believe that as long as you can win it, At the outer city wall, our light cavalry can rush in and kill the Samours like weeds! "

"Haha! That's natural!" Helisatus curled his lips dissatisfied with Tatiso's words, and secretly thought in his heart, "I have taken down the city wall before you attack. Although my Tiger Legion is only a second-line infantry army, It’s not like I’m begging you to take the credit!”

"No, we can't let him see Lord Duacli's intention! We still have to rely on this idiot to be the forward." Seeing Helisatus' slightly dissatisfied look, how could the cunning Tatiso not know about Heli? What was Sartus thinking? He smiled and patted Helisatus on the shoulder, comforting him and said, "If this raid succeeds, the leader of the Helisatus Army will be the first to take the lead. Lord Duacli will not treat the legions badly." Long!"

"Order those little bastards in front of you to stop playing and clean up the fortress quickly!" Hearing Tatiso's words, Helisatus smiled brightly. "Remember, don't take any prisoners, kill them all!"

Just when Helisatus gave the order excitedly, a sudden change occurred

"Boom!" More than a dozen violent explosions came from the top of the fortress, like thunder that shocked everyone. A tiger soldier who was cleaning the city wall touched the mechanism placed by the defenders on the city road. More than ten people A round wooden barrel rolled out from the three city crossings.

The noble private soldiers who had never seen crude oil barrels regarded these liquid barrels as wine barrels and gathered around them happily, but soon they felt something was wrong. An unpleasant smell spread under their feet, and black liquid Flowed out from some wooden barrels, mixed with subtle squeaking sounds.

"Use a spear! Look what's inside!" a private army captain said sternly. The nearby soldiers immediately pierced the barrel with their spears, and black liquid poured out.

"What is it?" The team leader squatted down curiously, put a little crude oil on his finger and put it in his mouth. The strong smell made him uncomfortable, "Bah! Bah! What the hell!" He kicked the barrel down angrily. The black liquid flows faster

At this time, a burst of intensive drum beats was suddenly heard from within the fortress, followed by countless rockets flying down from the sky. The crude oil on the ground was ignited when it was touched by fire. The flames suddenly appeared several meters high, and swept through the surrounding area with the help of the wind. Personally, when seeing such a tragic situation, others were frightened and ran away, but this was not the most terrifying thing.

A dozen other intact sealed crude oil barrels were like violent fire bombs, exploding with blazing fire. The splashing crude oil sparks quickly spread throughout the city wall. Barrels continued to roll down the city road, crowding the people on the city wall. The Tiger Army soldiers howled in the fire. More than 3,000 private soldiers who rushed to the city wall were surrounded by fire. When they found that the flames could not be extinguished, the most tragic situation occurred. Countless figures were on fire, and from ten to ten Thousands of people jumped off the city wall several meters high. The wall of fire drove thousands of people to jump down. Some people ran onto the siege vehicles connected to the city wall, but the fire quickly spread. The wooden carriages collapsed in the fire, and the people crowded on them collapsed. Falling like raindrops, charred corpses were all over the city. A helpless look appeared on every soldier's face. The situation on the city wall was like hell. The Tiger Legion that had so high morale just now was completely disabled.

"Damn it! Despicable Samor!" Helisatus, who was so high-spirited just now, has blood-red eyes at this moment. No matter how upright he is, he knows that this is a trap! The commander of Toda Fortress obviously laid a trap, using a small number of defenders to attract his own brigade to attack, and then burned himself to death with a huge fire.

"No, I can't lose all my money here!" The sad and angry Helisatus was not stupid.

"Commander of the Tartisso Flag, you have seen that my legion has lost more than half, and we can no longer continue the attack!" Helisatus began to retreat. From the beginning, Helisatus felt that this old and cunning Tower Tisuo, who is watching over himself is even more important,

"Commander of the Helisatus Army, you should still remember what Marquis Duacli said at the Kyoto meeting!" Tatiso responded with a cold face, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, Duacli Your Excellency has already given orders. If your regiment retreats without permission, our Eighth Cavalry Corps has the authority to handle it!"

"You! You" Helisatus's face turned red with anger. Tatisso raised his head indifferently and looked at the sky. "It's past noon now. Lord Du Eric will arrive with his army tonight. How about you?" You have one afternoon, don’t say I didn’t remind you, you know Lord Duacli’s habits, if you don’t want your head hanging on the camp gate, you’d better organize the next wave of attacks immediately!”
