Chapter 238: Fierce Battle in the Cold Weapon Era
Soon, under the cover of a large number of engineering machinery, the soldiers of the Principality of Pabuvia launched a fierce attack on the Knight's Castle.
The complex of buildings in the Fort des Knights and the city walls at the foot of the mountain is very large.
This means that Giovadini will need a large number of soldiers for defense.
But no matter how the 3000 people were divided, they could not protect the entire city wall defense line.
So Giovadini had to pour oil on some of the city walls.
Then wait for the enemy to approach and set these walls on fire.
The flames prevented both sides from getting close.
Successfully blocked the enemy's advance.
Giovanni could only station his troops on some important city walls.
While blocking the enemy's offensive, we also protected the retreat route.
But the oil will eventually run out.
The outer city at the foot of the mountain fell in less than half a day.
Giovardini also lost 500 soldiers.
Most of these soldiers were killed by magicians.
Even though they used shields to block the incoming arrows, they still couldn't stop the magician's sneak attack.
Giovadini had no choice but to abandon the outer city wall at the foot of the mountain.
Arrive at the halfway point of the mountain for defense.
The Castle of the Knights is similar to the Acropolis of Athens.
There are some checkpoints halfway up the mountain.
These checkpoints will greatly restrict the enemy's movements.
Moreover, the road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain could not accommodate ten cavalrymen charging at the same time.
Lyon had read an introduction to the Knight's Castle in a book.
I couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur and magnificence of the Knight's Castle, and at the same time I was amazed at the powerful architectural skills of the indigenous people.
I couldn't help but wonder how these indigenous people transported these huge stones up there?
The Acropolis of Athens was built by transporting historical materials up there using horses and manpower.
But how was the Knight's Castle built?
Leon overlooked one problem, that is magic...
But even with the use of magic, the amount of work still amazed Leon.
The Knights' Castle was built so solidly that the attackers suffered a lot.
The Pabuvian soldiers looked at the majestic pass halfway up the mountain and fell into deep thought.
After a short pause, they launched an attack again.
Sirius knew that it was impossible to take over the Knight's Castle in one fell swoop.
As expected, the Pabuvian soldiers had no way to deal with the pass halfway up the mountain.
The narrow road made it impossible for them to deploy their formation.
The Xiluo soldiers responsible for guarding the pass used a large number of rolling logs and stone cannons.
These Pabuvian soldiers who were climbing up were directly crushed into pieces.
The Pabuvian commander, Silicius, could only withdraw some of his soldiers.
At the same time, he ordered the magician corps to suppress the pass with fire.
The Xiro soldiers could only resist the attacks of the Papua soldiers with difficulty while under magical attacks.
The rolling logs and stone cannons were thrown down recklessly, and many Xiluo soldiers had their hands worn out.
But they did not stop at all, because they knew that once the Knight's Castle was lost, not only would the people in the Knight's Castle be slaughtered, but their fellow countrymen in the Principality of Xiluo behind them would also be slaughtered.
Therefore, these soldiers of the Principality of Xiluo knew that the burden on their shoulders was not only their own, but also that of thousands of their compatriots...
So in fact, security must not be lost.
If gods did not exist, who would be able to sing the praises of our achievements?
There are only soldiers who died in battle in Xiro, no one who escaped!
Not only that, in addition to the soldiers of the Principality of Xiro who were doing their utmost to defend against the enemy.
A large number of Knights Castle civilians were also frantically demolishing the fortress on the top of the mountain.
A large number of stone houses were demolished and the stones were transported to the pass halfway up the mountain.
Provides throwing items to defending soldiers.
The Knight's Castle's reserve arrows have not been used yet, because the arrows have to be saved for the critical moment.
And for a defensive battle, it is especially important when facing this kind of height difference.
The log cannon is much more useful than the bow and arrow.
sunset.
The soldiers of the Principality of Xiro watched as the Pabuvian soldiers began to retreat gradually.
His face immediately showed joy, it seemed that Pabuvia would not be able to take this pass today.
we won!
Just when the Xiro soldiers were about to relax.
The magician group launched a final round of attack.
A barrage of fireballs fell from the sky.
Completely light up the originally dim sky.
All the Xiluo soldiers were stunned.
Many of them had never seen such a scene, and many of them were only teenagers of eighteen or nineteen years old.
But I had to go through this level of fierce battle and see this scene before my eyes...
At the pass, two young soldiers were competing with each other to see who could throw more projectiles.
"Victor! I've lost 29 stones, and look at you! You've lost so much less than me!"
"Snow! I'm only three dollars less than you. I'll overtake you soon!"
"That's not necessarily true. You can't beat me! It looks like Xiya is mine!"
"Just wait! I'm the strongest! Xiya will marry me!"
The two boys argued with each other while trying to throw the objects in their hands.
At this moment, the dense fireballs in the air made them stop what they were doing.
The next second, dense fireballs hit the pass.
The entire pass was melted by the high temperature.
More than 200 soldiers in the pass and behind it turned into steam in an instant.
The two young men, like everyone else, evaporated in an instant...
Giovannidi's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this scene.
Papua used forbidden magic.
The wrath of Satan.
Because this magic is aimed at ordinary people and can cause devastating damage to ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, all countries have listed this magic as prohibited magic.
But Pabuvia didn't care whether this magic could be used or not.
Seeing the pass melted, Giovanni was forced to withdraw the remaining troops.
Retreat to the Knight's Castle and hold the last line of defense...
Just one day into the war, Knightburg lost its first two lines of defense.
There is only one last line of defense left.
As night falls.
Both Pabuvia and Syria chose to cease fire at the same time.
Giovardini patrolled the city with his soldiers.
Looking at more than 30,000 worried faces, Giovadini couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand.
After a round of inspection, Giovanni ordered the soldiers to strengthen patrols to prevent enemy night attacks.
Then he climbed up the city wall and looked at the flames all around the Knight's Castle.
These are the lights of the fire in the Pabuvian camp...
The Knight's Castle has been surrounded to the point where it cannot be surrounded any further...
It would take at least seven days for reinforcements from the Principality of Richard to arrive.
But the question is, can I hold on for another seven days?
Thinking of this, Giovanni drew out the Violet Knight Sword passed down to him by his father.
Look at the delicate violet flower patterns on it.
Giovadini remembered his father's teachings.
"A true knight will never let anyone down!"
Father, do you think I can hold on?
(I was an hour late because something happened at school that made me lose my temper (╥﹏╥))
