Five Hundred and Nine Shakeben's Death

"Assemble! Assemble!" Sometimes it was such a coincidence that the soldiers who had just returned to their barracks heard the shout ordering them to assemble.

Finally, after a few minutes of rest, everyone could only start to organize their armor, stuffing sheets and other messy things into the chain mail, hoping that the thin thickness could save their lives at the last moment.

The soldiers of the IV Corps were recruits, armed only a few days before the battle began. These soldiers have no combat experience, so their task is not to go up the city wall to fight the demons.

As light infantry, they were not equipped with shields, and only carried a long sword as their weapon. Their task is actually not easy, because they are responsible for carrying bows and arrows for the archers on the city wall, and delivering projectiles for ballistas, similar to porters on the battlefield.

Don't think they are lucky, in fact, they do the most dangerous work, because they are constantly moving, so without the protection of the shield hand, they are easy to be hit by the weapons thrown by the demons on the city wall, bows and boulders are always there Probably cost the lives of these light infantrymen.

"I want to make sure that you all appear where you should appear! Everyone confirms that your companions are by your side! I don't want deserters! After reaching the city wall, look for cover by yourself..." In the distance, the legion leader stood From a high place, he kept yelling things to pay attention to his soldiers.

It's a pity that there are too many things to pay attention to, and there are bound to be various new situations on the battlefield. How many of these recruits survived, no one can know.

In fact, the commanders above did not intend to pin their expectations on these recruits. Their requirement for these recruits is: send spare bows and arrows and stones to the city wall, and then they can be sacrificed.

"You can pick up the shield next to the corpse to save your life, or you can squat behind the boulder thrown by the demon on the city wall! But you must complete your mission! Do you understand?" The regiment leader stood on a high place and loudly mobilized before the battle: "For your family!"

"Fight! Fight!" All the soldiers shouted loudly, trying to cheer up their nervous self. Then these recruits, who had never experienced battle, rushed up the city wall in groups, passing by the withdrawn troops.

The recruits who walked up to the top of the city watched in horror as those bloody soldiers walked down the city wall and helped their comrades who were slightly injured. Everyone seemed to be a corpse crawling back from hell.

"Try to find some boulders for cover in a while! Don't listen to the nonsense of those officers, and remember one thing, that is, sending ammunition is always ranked after avoiding the opponent's bow and arrow! We don't have heavy armor and shields, and we don't have those things in our hands. "The captain, who had experienced the battle, warned the soldiers of his team as he walked forward.

Before they reached the top of the city, they heard the sound of horns on the city wall. When they got to the top of the city, they saw densely packed heavy armored infantry holding shields and long swords, lined up in a neat line.

Those officers carried long swords and shuttled back and forth in such a heavy armored phalanx, shouting precautions and orders loudly.

After a while, the boulder fired by the devil's trebuchet hit the crenel of the city wall, and the cracked rubble splashed everywhere, hitting the shield of the heavy infantry with a clang.

The bright red ground seemed to be eroded by fresh red liquid before it was completely dry, which made the light infantry who had just stepped up to the top of the city look terrified.

"The ballista ammunition over there is almost used up! Send a batch over there immediately! Hurry up! Replenish the ones next to it too! It seems that they don't have enough!" An officer saw the recruits walking up the city wall,

Immediately yelled loudly.

The veteran captain who led the team immediately replied: "Yes!...You guys, send the stone bullets you have with you!"

Before each of the soldiers who heard the order walked up the city wall, they were allotted a cloth bag, and inside the cloth bag were five round stone pellets the size of five fists.

These soldiers nodded slightly, and walked along the direction pointed by the officer's finger on the city wall with those cloth bags on their backs—they couldn't run either, with a suit of light armor and five solid ammunition, they were not too light, and wanted to run It's really not easy.

The rest of the people followed their captains to the towers built at intervals. These towers are the firepower nodes of the city wall defense, and they are also places to store ballistas, stone bullets, and bows and arrows.

Before they put down the bows and arrows they were carrying and piled these supplementary materials on the piles of bows and arrows, the violent attack of the demons began.

It didn't even last for an hour, and there were only three soldiers left in the team of 51 people when it came up.

Almost none of the soldiers who went to deliver ammunition and bows and arrows came back—almost none, because at least the captain of the squad came back alive.

It's a pity that even he, when he came back, his arm was burned by the magic fired by the devil, and he was as embarrassed as a half-roasted wild boar.

When he came back, his face was very ugly, and he didn't speak. No one knew what happened to him.

In fact, he saw a demon infantry wearing armor on the top of the city on the archer's position. The opponent killed 11 human soldiers in one breath, and then he was barely killed. Those strong demon soldiers under the city.

The difference in the individual combat effectiveness of the two sides is really too great. A strong demon is at least 2 meters tall. It wears heavy armor, and several human soldiers cannot get close.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom holding Mauser 98K rifles on the city wall, Shakeben's city wall defense line would have been breached by demons long ago.

Before the team with only three people left was withdrawn, the commander of the Fourth Army came to the tower where they were covered in blood, and an officer who followed him had his arm wrapped in a bandage and hung on his chest. It doesn't make them both look good.

"I want you to choose 5 soldiers to report to the Fifth Legion! The demon almost broke through their defense just now, and the commander of the Fifth Legion has died in battle! Their regiment has suffered heavy losses now! They need manpower!" shouted loudly.

After he finished speaking, he wanted to go out, but when he saw that there were only three people left in the tower, he stopped his half-turned body, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

He was going to the next tower to find a man, but he could only temporarily give up his plan. He looked at the only three people left in the room, reorganized his language and said: "There is a need for soldiers who can fight! You choose one Go and support."

"Yes!" The captain stood up and saluted, picked up a distorted shield from the pile of arrows left beside him, and asked, "Is there anyone willing to go there? Everyone has seen it, we only have three people left Well, it's not safe here."

Regrettably, before they could make a choice, the devil's army had already attacked the city wall not far away.

In the battle against demons, human beings really have no chance of winning by relying on cold weapons. Even with some artillery, it still couldn't make Shakeben City last until the afternoon.

There was chaos on the city wall. Before the legion commander stepped out of the city tower, he saw a huge demon with a stature of at least three meters on the city wall not far away. He smashed the broken crenel with his weapon, and stepped on a corpse full of corpses. Citadel with rubble.

"Drove them off!" The legion leader drew out his sword before he had time to think about it, and the veteran captain behind him also drew out his long sword—now he had no choice but to go out in order to survive Desperate!

Because, if you put the devil into the city, you only need to look at the opponent's figure and strength to know that Xia Keben is over!

The officer with a bandaged arm also clumsily pulled out his saber, and two light infantrymen followed behind him, the dagger in their hands trembling constantly.

The surrounding human soldiers gathered into a team, with shields and swords in front, and soldiers with spears attacking from behind. These troops are still well-trained, so although they are chaotic, they still maintain some rules.

But seeing another demon rushing to the top of the city, the scene suddenly got out of control. The army leader who took the lead in the counterattack was quickly struck by an axe, and the broken ones were thrown off the city wall. The veteran captain standing beside the army leader was also out of breath and without energy.

The sound of gunfire in the distance had begun to fade away, and the riflemen on the city wall probably had exhausted all their bullets. The dense crowd of human soldiers had nothing to do with the demon in front of them.

"Ah!" The desperate veteran captain held his long sword and rushed towards the opponent who was three heads taller than him. The strong demon soldier did not dodge or dodge, and took the captain's slash with the iron armor on his shoulders. , and then cut the human captain in two with a backhand.

The captain spat out blood, and then fell at the demon's feet. He can't die with peace in his eyes, because he failed to defend his position, nor was he able to leave alive...

On the port city wall full of gunpowder smoke, Commander Earl Roysaac knew that his defense line had been breached.

He could clearly see the demon jumping over the city wall, and he could also clearly see that a tower in the distance was knocked down by the demon's huge siege machine, and the rubble rolled and scattered the soldiers' flesh and blood.

A few minutes ago, he also saw a huge fleet showing its ferocious fangs on the sea level not far from the port.

The devil's fleet surrounded Shakebun. There were at least 100 devil's warships lying across the sea. The magic cannons on those battleships were bombarding the buildings in the port. The whole Shakben was filled with smoke and screams and cries.

"Let all the troops fight back! If we can't repel these demons today..." The old earl coughed lightly, and continued: "They will all die here."

As soon as his words fell, in the distant sky, hundreds of demonic bats flapped their wings, making a chilling and terrifying howl.
