Chapter 19 Carlin's Ass(2/3)
Here, if you have the guts, if you weren't brought up by a bitch, then come over and beat me to death." After following the private soldiers in the city wall for a few days, Lei also learned a lot about how the private soldiers cursed each other.
, spit out this sentence gently, and the noble Bobcat almost went crazy with anger.
With a roar, Bobcat rushed over crazily with his giant sword. But when he had just rushed to a distance of 700 feet, the four hundred repeating crossbows on the city wall made a "crunching" sound at the same time, and countless powerful crossbows roared
And went to force Bobcat back. The range of these repeating crossbows is not as good as the powerful crossbows specially designed to deal with magicians, but the range of up to 800 feet also makes them a terrible defensive weapon, especially
They can shoot thirty-six crossbow arrows in succession.
Bobcat jumped back into the camp, angrily scolding Lei. Lei simply sat lazily on the edge of the moat in front of the city gate, and started talking to Bobkart without saying a word.
After all, Bobkart was a prince. How could he have Lei Duo in his mind when he was swearing? Especially Lei Duo, who had been tutoring hard with those private army veterans in the past two days, so he was so angry that he rushed towards the city wall again.
, but was shot back again by the dense crossbow arrows on the city wall.
After such funny scenes happened seven times in a row, groups of soldiers were discharged from the coalition camp, preparing to attack the city. Bobcat went back to the camp to eat, and Lei followed the gap in the city gate.
I slipped in, had breakfast first, then counted my subordinate soldiers, and then climbed to the top of the city. The coalition soldiers were almost at the bottom of the city.
This kind of thing has been happening for seven consecutive days. Lei is constantly training himself crazily. According to his current strength, he can lift a stone weighing more than a thousand kilograms and hit people, but it is a bit difficult to do squats with weights continuously.
It was difficult for him, but Lei found that the heavier the training his body received, the faster the internal Qi in his body grew, so he didn't care about his fatigue and continued to exercise, with Bobcat Qi at the same time.
As for Carlin and the others, they are waiting for domestic reinforcements. They are not sure of breaking through such a city wall, especially when the city wall is defended by elite soldiers of the Violent Lion Legion. In such a narrow contact area, the advantage of numbers
It has been completely offset. What is being compared is the quality of the soldiers. But in terms of quality, other than those big Bicester men who don't know how to attack, which country's soldiers can compete with the Vante Five Beast Legion?
Therefore, the current coalition forces are willing to move out every day. They exercise for about thirty minutes every day to let the soldiers feel the atmosphere of the siege and maintain their morale as much as possible. Carlin and the others do not want the soldiers to spend all day
If they stay in the woods in a daze and their morale drops, maybe a counterattack from the Fante Empire can set them back hundreds of miles. In the history of the mainland, there is no precedent for tens of thousands of people to defeat hundreds of thousands.
of.
Seeing that ten thousand-man troops were almost rushing to the moat in front of the city wall, Jerry waved lazily at the top of the city, and a dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out. The coalition soldiers shouted and raised their hands
The shields resisted the rain of arrows, and they rushed closer. Then, Lei and several high-level knights smashed stones weighing two to three hundred kilograms. After knocking over several soldiers, the ten thousand-man team turned around and left.
.
A thousand feet away, ten thousand-man troops organized their troops for a while and then rushed over like this again. As a result, the farce was staged again. After three times of this, both sides withdrew their troops and were ready to have lunch.
Bobcat, who was standing by the woods watching the battle, roared: "Karin, what the hell are you doing? It's been five days, it's been five days, are you kidding me? If this continues, it's impossible for us to break through this wall. Shouldn't we
Just sit here and wait?"
Karin said lazily: "Dear Your Highness, please think about it for yourself, how many infantry can we have for siege warfare? After deducting the iron cavalry of your Bicester Empire and the light cavalry of the Dak Empire, then deduct
The number of cavalry and infantry in our countries is only a few hundred thousand, and the number of people they defend on the city wall is also the same. Do you think we can break through this city wall? Also, do you want all the soldiers to climb the wall empty-handed?
No? We have no ladders, no siege engines, no slings, nothing. How can we attack?"
Bobcat was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly shouted: "So, how did your Smart Empire conquer the cities of their four provinces in the first place? Didn't you carry any siege equipment? How is it possible? You are...
All the elite troops were dispatched."
Karin shrugged his shoulders: "Sorry, we did not bring any siege equipment, because with the operation of my genius brain, there are no soldiers in the cities of the four provinces of the Vant Empire. It is so easy to just do it.
Breaking through their city defenses. As for the Iron-Blooded Battle Castle, well, I'm sorry, that Commander Vant is a high-level spy deployed by our Smart, so there is no need to carry those bulky guys."
Bobcat gritted his teeth and remained silent. Carlin said with a smile: "You see, our Smart soldiers have been cutting wood in the back recently to make ladders and bumping wood. The problem is that we lack some leather and animal sinews.
Something like that, otherwise maybe we can make a few catapults... But don't worry, as soon as reinforcements from several countries arrive, we can officially start the war. They will definitely carry large siege equipment.
. I swear, within two months, we can destroy the entire Fante Empire."
Bobcat nodded silently, looked at the city wall in the distance, and suddenly said: "Strange, why is there so much dust behind them?"
Carlin shook his head helplessly: "It's very simple. They are probably building a second city wall, then a third, and a fourth. But don't worry, if we can break through their first line of defense, then the third one will be built."
Articles 2 and 3 are dealt with in the same way. By the way, I still have a few jars of good wine in my camp. Are you interested? Look, how generous I am. Those are exclusive to the royal family of our Smart Empire.
It’s a very good wine, I’ll share it all with you.”
Bobcat, who was born in the bitter cold desert in the north, heard the word wine and his eyes began to shine. However, he still asked reservedly: "Since it is a wine exclusively for your royal family, why did you bring so much to the army?
"
Karin murmured in a low voice: "Well, it's always beneficial to bribe the palace's warehouse manager. I exchanged more than a dozen jars of wine for these good wines. Anyway, our Majesty doesn't taste wine often.
Don't worry."
Bobkat nodded and strode into the woods with Karin.
The commanders from the Dark Empire and the Reit Empire who were standing next to the two of them just looked at Karin with dissatisfaction. The Dark man cursed in a low voice: "Where is his team of mages? Why don't they go into battle...
.Breaking through such a city wall is not a difficult task for a mage who can use forbidden spells, right?"
The man from the Reit Empire said softly: "This guy doesn't dare to risk losing any more mages, otherwise he will be very, very uncomfortable when he returns home. Do you think he has lost a lot of mages in this expedition?"
Even if his teacher is the high priest of the Smart Empire, it is impossible to keep him in the Mage Association... Huh, the range of the repeating crossbow that defends the city is only 800 feet, but on a 60-foot-high city wall, it is enough
How dare he send out those mages after killing them thousands of feet away?"
Lei stood on the top of the city, looking at the smokey Camp Smart, and asked in confusion: "They haven't launched an attack yet, what are they waiting for?" As he spoke, the inner energy in Lei's body was still restless.
As he circulates, he is using every possible opportunity to enhance his strength. However, neither Lei nor Jerry found a problem, that is, Lei has never learned the standard fighting qi training method of Smart's army. Lei is because of him
Thinking that he had learned fighting spirit, Jerry thought that Lei had been promoted to a first-level silver knight, and the high-level knights under him should have taught him the relevant techniques.
Jerry grabbed a small dagger and slashed at the battlements in front of him. He hummed and said: "They are waiting for reinforcements and heavy siege equipment. But this is good, we can have a little more time."
Get ready." He turned to look at the craftsmen who were digging traps on the ground and making various mechanisms to ambush, and said coldly: "Look, if we have one more day, we can kill at least five thousand more of them. If they don't attack, it will be just right.
.”
Lei grabbed a thick bamboo arrow, waved it gently, and said with a sneer: "Jerry, just for this suggestion of using bamboo arrows, you should record a little credit for me, right? I didn't omit it."
There are a lot of iron arrows. Also, look, there are so many bamboo forests in the canyon behind, enough to make tens of millions of arrows... When we defend, we don't have to worry about not having enough arrows.
"
Jerry laughed: "Lei, you have also learned to compete for credit... Haha, this credit is indispensable to you. Indeed, as long as the cutting skills are slightly better, the shooting range of bamboo arrows is only a few seconds compared to iron arrow bows.
It's less than a hundred feet short, and the arrow actually explodes when it hits a person's bones. It's really too vicious, and it's guaranteed to maim the person who was hit by the arrow."
Lei sneered: "I will use such an arrow to shoot into Bobcat's belly."
Jerry nodded slowly, with a fierce light in his eyes, staring at the coalition camp in the distance.
Footsteps sounded from behind, and he voluntarily gave up the command. His whole head was fluffy and his beard looked like a lion's head. Gaddafi, the commander of the Violent Lion Army, shook his head and walked over. He asked in a rough voice: "Ahem, two
You guys, they are camping in a dense forest, why don’t we just burn them? If we burn them all to death, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
Jerry was silent. He rolled his eyes and said nothing. This old guy also knew that his brain was not working well, so he simply gave up the command. But since you know that you are a fool, don't come up with random ideas.
Lei smiled and explained to him respectfully: "General Gaddafi, you see, it is midsummer now, and there is a lot of sap in the tree trunks. Unless we have a group of magicians who use high-temperature fire magic, it is impossible.
What caused the forest to burn... When we retreated that day, you saw that it was all the magicians in the Smart Empire who made the forest burn. And we... It seems that all the high-level magicians accompanying the main army have already
Is the army destroyed?"
Gaddafi was stunned for a moment, scratched the fluffy hair on his head, and muttered: "Hey, it seems to be like this, um, feelings are like this... It turns out that the woods in summer are not easy to burn. I thought that in summer
The temperature is so high that it only needs a little fire to start burning."
Seemingly not wanting to hurt his face too much, Jerry said with a smile: "Of course, your battle plan is also feasible. If we have a lot of fuel, we can let them try the taste of barbecue.
"
Gaddafi became happy: "Yes, yes, a lot of fuel. However, this stuff is only plentiful in the northern provinces. It would be too troublesome to mobilize it. Forget it, we'd better defend our city walls. Wait until
By this time next year, the nationwide mobilization will be completed, and the Five Beast Legion should be able to be reorganized. By then, hey, I will tear them apart alive."
Shaking his fist vigorously, Gaddafi strode down the city wall and began to shout loudly to his high-ranking knights to shake his fists and loosen his muscles.
Jerry shrugged his shoulders: "He is a good man, extremely loyal to the empire, and very powerful, so although his mind is a bit confused, Your Majesty still handed over the Violent Lion Army to him. Anyway, he never made a battle plan, so that's fine.
No problem."
Ray looked at Jerry with a strange look, and Jerry sighed and said: "I know what you are thinking, we can't get that fuel into the forest, can we? Even if they throw it with a sling, their mage can't."
You can use strong winds to blow back the fuel tank, but Lei, you have to learn that in the empire, if you want to live a good life, you must always leave face to those with a higher status than yourself, otherwise...
Lord Gaddafi is a marquis, and his father is the most powerful duke in the empire. The lords of several western provinces are all related by marriage to his family...so...do you understand?"
Lei nodded quickly and said cautiously: "Then, I will need more guidance from adults in the future."
Jerry patted Lei on the shoulder and sighed: "Hey, that's all I have to do to survive... maybe you will be the one to help me collect the body tomorrow."
After hearing Jerry's words, Lei quickly spit on the ground three times according to the custom in the mountainous area, and then stepped heavily on the ground. Jerry was stunned and suddenly realized, he smiled happily and hugged Lei heavily.
Said: "Good brother, we are soldiers, don't be too superstitious. Hehe, I am here well, but let's see who can rush to the city wall and kill me."
Lei was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Sir Jerry, what will happen if their coalition forces attack us before reinforcements arrive?"
Jerry sneered: "With their current strength, they will only suffer heavy casualties. You see, our city wall is forty feet thick and sixty feet high. We now have 150,000 soldiers with full combat effectiveness. If they attack forcefully,
As for our city wall, huh, I am confident that as many as they come will die... On the mainland, if you want to conquer a city, in addition to complete siege tools, you also need an infantry group that is at least four times the size of the defenders.
Okay, where do they have this kind of troops now?"
Lei Meng laughed: "Then, if I can get them to start attacking now, it would be wonderful, right?"
Jerry was stunned for a moment, looked at Ray with a frown, and asked, "How can you make them attack now?"
To be continued...
