Warhammer Throne
Chapter 64: , Aarhus Bridge Defense Battle
In the morning of the next day, the soldiers rushed to the Aarhus Bridge.
This is a stone bridge about thirty meters long. Because of Albert's emphasis on trade and trade routes, there are sentries here.
The soldiers immediately began to lay out a large amount of gunpowder on the bridge under the guidance of the officers, while Nikolay and Lane asked about the battle at the guard post: "How is the battle at Oak Pass!"
Before the words were over, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. A human army of about seventy people rushed towards the Aarhus Bridge. Almost all of them were injured: "Mr. Niclair! We can't stand it anymore. Oak Pass is about to fall!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, and quickly asked what happened.
"The barbarians have attacked again and again regardless of casualties. We resisted desperately, but there are too many barbarians!" The leading soldier wiped the sweat from his face: "We can only choose to retreat. There are too many enemies. ."
"About how long will the barbarians be here?" Ryan stepped forward and asked.
"We used boulders and iron to seal the gate. The barbarians only have simple siege weapons... the gate should be able to hold on for another twenty minutes." If the leader is correct, he will be the chief guard of Oak Pass.
"Very good! You have worked hard, you retreat first, let us here!" Nikolai waved his hand and motioned them to retreat quickly: "Go back and take a good rest. We will resist Birieg and his bear tribe here! "
"Thank you, sir!" The guard officer at the gate saluted the two knights, and then led the seventy remnants to retreat.
The battle situation was urgent. The soldiers accelerated the speed of deploying explosives. A heavy atmosphere was spreading among the soldiers. When black barbarians appeared on the distant horizon, Millodenhaven's army finally arranged explosives.
"Array! Array! Ready to meet the enemy!!!" Nikolay commanded the soldiers, arranging defenses at the bridgehead, and the shield-bearing halberds lined up in two rows, followed by the most elite swordsmen.
These great swordsmen wore breastplates, tights, and round helmets. They were the most elite troops in Milodhaven. In fact, the main force of the empire's army was also composed of these two-handed great swordsmen and knights.
The two-handed sword has a great damage range and lethality. It is very effective against barbarians, greenskins, and undead armies, such as armies with few armors. The two-handed sword is especially effective against long-handled weapons. The army that lacks sophisticated equipment and uses a large number of spears and guns has amazing lethality.
So these great swordsmen are the real supporters in this battle.
Gradually, the barbarians appeared in the dark.
A tribe of barbarian bear people from the northern wasteland appeared in the distance on the horizon mightily.
"coming."
Most of the barbarians wore the simplest fur coats, armed with battle axes and bucklers, and some with spears. Their hair was shaved clean, leaving only the middle of their heads.
It's a predator!
Predators are born warriors. They were born under the most difficult and arduous conditions in the northern wasteland, and grew up under the cruel laws of the jungle, because the weak have already died in the survival of the fittest.
The barbarians never cultivate, nor do they have time to harvest crops. The tools they use for production are axes, swords, and shields. What do they want? Southerners have it! Go grab it! Go for it!
Everything we desire can be obtained from the lower southern humans!
Thousands of barbarians marched towards the Aarhus Bridge. The barbarian troops were chaotic and shabby, but the Nord army, which was neatly dressed and equipped with more sophisticated weapons, was very nervous.
sharp contrast.
The barbarian leader Birrig came out in the eyes of everyone. This was a tall and strong man. His sturdy muscles were wrapped in a blood-red leather armor, and he had big hairs. And the brown beard drooped from his head, but the end of the beard and the knot of the braid were covered with various skulls, which made people shudder.
"Another slaughter, another victory. It's too weak. Southerners make me feel bored." Birrig laughed, then he raised his battle axe and motioned his tribe to stop: "Now, another group of stupid people. The southerners blocked our way and told me my warriors, what should we do?"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them!!!" All the barbarians roared loudly, and their faces were full of bloodthirsty and fanaticism.
"So... listen to my orders... I count three times, and we will attack!" Birrig shouted indifferently. He really didn't pay attention to the soldiers on the opposite side.
"Ready to fight! Ready to fight! Nord's warriors! Hold your spears firmly and stand up your shields. Behind you is your home! Take courage!" Ryan walked through the array of soldiers holding his warhammer. , Said angrily: "The survivors die! Live to the dead! Today I will fight side by side with you! Let us move from one victory to the next together! Long live Nord!"
"Long live Nord!" The soldiers guarded by the bridge. The front halberd shield soldiers were deployed at the bridge head. After the battle, the swordsmen were deployed. The elite crossbowmen were deployed in the bunkers behind the bridge. His fingers squeezed the trigger, ready to shoot at the barbarian at any time.
"This time some spineless **** came here." Seeing that the army on the opposite side was well-formed and lined up, Birieg let go of his contempt, although he didn't quite understand why the bridge had such an elite guard. Army, but what does it matter?
The blood **** will like this show.
"Go forward! Go forward!!!" The barbarian soldiers began to charge towards the Nord army at the bridgehead.
In the forefront are the lowest-level arms of the barbarians-the barbarian marauders.
"Shoot!" The walnut knight Nikolay, who was in the bunker behind the bridge, first took out the big bow behind him, and then drew the feather arrow from the quiver behind him. The walnut knight took a deep breath and pulled the big bow.
"Shoo!" The first barbarian marauder who rushed to the front was hit by Feather Arrow, and fell directly after screaming.
The crossbowmen followed Nikolai and started shooting. In the blink of an eye, several barbarian predators in the front were shot and killed. However, the number of barbarians is thousands of people, and the black and overwhelming army will not be scattered just because a few people fall. , The fall of the first few people doubled the ferocity of the barbarians, everyone scrambled to squeeze into the front, turning a blind eye to the deaths of their companions.
However, the bridge was narrow, and the number of barbarian soldiers who could rush to the bridge was limited. The halberd soldiers used the simplest stab to take the lives of barbarian predators one after another.
More barbarian armies are all crowded together, unable to rush to the bridge at all. In the case of crowded people, the barbarians' personal force cannot be used, which greatly limits their combat effectiveness. In a row, Nord's halberds caused them pain and death with a simple thrust.
Some barbarian predators tried to wade across the ice of the Ovre River, and they soon discovered that they were wrong... The ice of the Ovre River was thinner than paper, and it shattered at the touch of a few unlucky ones. Unfortunately, after falling into the water and becoming a living target for crossbowmen, no barbarian soldier dared to go into the water anymore.
"Come on!" Ryan held the hammer with both hands, and hammered three barbarian soldiers with one blow. The White Wolf Knight’s warhammer opened and closed. The force of one person forced the barbarian marauders who rushed to the bridgehead to retreat in a row.
"Fight!" Ike and Lopus also followed Ryan, looking at these barbarians, Ike's eyes were blood red, he needed glory too much to wash his shame, the wandering knight did not even use a shield , Holding his long sword in both hands, he bravely rushed into the enemy line.
Ike first confronted a barbarian with a moxican head and a large string of teeth on him. He swept his sword unceremoniously, and his long sword was blocked by a wooden buckler and headed towards the barbarian's head. When the battle axe approached Ike's face gate, half of the barbarian's head fell on the ground.
Lopus was a steady play. He carefully hid himself behind the shield, leaning on the hard kite shield to block the oncoming battle axe, and then the halberd pierced another barbarian.
The barbarians who rushed to the bridge in the first wave dropped more than fifty corpses, but failed to make the Nord's army back a step.
"Give me an order! Let the warriors retreat!" Birrig immediately realized that this would not work, so he immediately ordered all the barbarian raiders to retreat. Many of the black barbarian army came out wearing black fur, behind. A barbarian warrior with a large number of javelins and axes.
Seeing these barbarian soldiers coming out of the team, Ryan was very upset. He immediately stepped back, and then shouted at the soldiers: "Hold the shield! Hold the shield! Find a cover!"
As soon as the voice fell, the roaring axe and javelin drowned Ryan's voice, and the White Wolf Knight stood in place, and any weapon that flew was easily shot by him.
On the other side of the river, a large number of javelins and throwing axes attacked Nord’s army. Many of the crossbowmen were hit by javelins and throwing axes before they could squat down. They immediately fell down. On the bridge, the halberds stood up. The shield was used for defense, and the two-handed swordsman, Ike and others also hid in the shield formation. Even so, several halberd soldiers died in the attack, and many shields were deformed by the huge impact.
"Counterattack!" After a few attacks, Nikolay immediately signaled the crossbowmen to counterattack. He bent his bow and set up his arrows. Under his command, the crossbowmen pulled the trigger towards the barbarian army across the river. The barbarian javelinmen and throwing axemen in armor fell in pieces.
The battle was at a stalemate. The Barbarians held the Nordic army that was guarding the bridge and did not withdraw, and the Nordic army could not leave the front to fight their weak hand-to-hand combat with the Barbarians.
In several rounds of offensive and defensive, the barbarians have dropped more than two hundred corpses, and the Nord army also lost more than fifty people.
"Kurorin? Where are my champions?" Birrig had no idea of joining the battle. The barbarian leader grinned and watched his tribal soldiers fall in pieces. The death of the scum made him very happy. His tribe does not need the weak.
However, Brigg also deeply understood that his mission was to destroy Miyordenhaven, and in order to please the Dark God, he had to speed up.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Heavy footsteps sounded.
Three barbarians, two meters tall, wearing huge horned helmets, covered in a complete set of sturdy chaotic armor, and armed with giant maces appeared from the army: "Chief!"
"Kill them! Go ahead!!!"
So these giant barbarian warriors rushed towards the Nordic formation at the bridgehead holding a giant mace.
Is a champion of the barbarian warrior! Ryan gritted his teeth. It is said that every such barbarian champion warrior has been baptized by the Dark God. They will fight forever under the watch of the Dark God until they die or their power is recognized.
Every champion warrior is at least an elite-level peak powerhouse!
The huge figure and the red light from the horned helmet made the soldiers shudder.
"Shoot! Attack the big guys!! Shoot them in the shoulders! Abdomen! There is also the crevice of the armor!" Nikolay motioned to the crossbowmen to divert their attention, and the soldiers immediately turned around under his command.
"Ding~ding~" The champion warriors were gradually filled with dense arrows.
It was useless. The champion warriors never stopped in their actions. On the contrary, their pace gradually accelerated, one by one, they rushed towards the dense shield formation of Nord's army.
"Face the enemy!" Ryan took the lead, and first greeted a champion warrior. The confrontation between the warhammer and the mace made a deafening sound. The barbarian champion warrior took two steps backwards, but moved towards Ryan again without emotion. attack.
The other two champion warriors kept moving, charging directly towards the halberd formation at the bridgehead, facing the solid shield wall, the barbarian champion named Kurolin rushed to the front of the halberd formation, and then a heavy giant The mace swept down...
The strong shield is broken! Amid the screams of Nord soldiers and the sound of falling into the water, the strong shield formation was smashed by the barbarian champions!
"Go forward!!!" Birrig raised his axe: "Warriors of the Bear Tribe! March on!!!"
The barbarian predators rushed into Nord's army like a tide.
"Great Swordsmen! It's time to fight!" Ike also raised his long swords. The Great Swordsmen followed the wandering knight and launched a countercharge against the oncoming barbarian army. Great Swordsmen As soon as he entered the battlefield, he stabilized the situation, and his two-handed sword kept harvesting the enemy's life.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat began. The Great Swordsman of Nord cut off the head of the barbarian predator one second, and the next second he was chopped from behind by another barbarian, and fell down in wailing.
The Great Swordsmen are better at fighting than the barbarian predators, but the number of barbarian soldiers is several times as much as theirs. After a short ten minutes of fierce fighting, Nord's army began to be defeated by the barbarians.
Ryan hit the barbarian champion's wrist with all his strength. The barbarian champion lost his weapon in a scream. He tried to pick up the weapon. Ryan did not give him this opportunity. The white wolf knight's warhammer was surrounded by a whirlwind and swung much faster than ordinary people. , He first smashed the right hand of the Barbarian Champion with a hammer, opening his empty door, and then hit the head with a hammer, and the horned helmet made a cracking sound. The Barbarian Champion backed two steps back and fell to the ground with a crash.
Ryan immediately added a hammer to his head and completed the kill.
"Yo~ Nord still has such a human being?" Birrig saw that his champion was dead, and there was no heartache on his face. He had taken his battle axe, when he noticed that the young knight’s decoration and Behind the black hair and blue eyes, he laughed wildly: "Ha! It is him! It really is him! I will take off his head! Dedicated to the greatest and noble Blood God!"
Ryan took off the head of the barbarian champion, and turned around to find that Nord’s army was crumbling under the attack of the barbarians, so the White Wolf Knight stopped thinking about it. He fought and retreated, and after helping several great swordsmen out of the battlefield, he issued The military order.
"Retreat! Retreat! Aarhus Bridge can't be held! Let's retreat to Mjorden Haven!"
"retreat!"
