Chapter 257 Only Persevered for 10 Minutes

Naturally, there were guards on the walls of Worcesterburg. When the army came outside the city, they notified the city lord immediately.

Worcesterburg is the fiefdom of the Loebowitz family, and Baron Werner von Loebowitz is grieving over a series of unsolvable troubles.

After receiving the news, Werner calmed down and went to the castle tower. On the top of the tower, the view was wide, and it was easy to see the two teams of the 'Red Banner'.

One rushed towards the Beastmen, and the other meandered towards the castle.

Werner's first reaction was that this is an absolute elite force.

The second reaction, the dwarves in the black mountains, sent legions to help?

How do the dwarves know what's going on here?

Besides, there is no such friendship!

But apart from dwarves, who can have this level of heavy armor?

There was no telescope in this era, and glass was not invented. Werner can only judge from experience that the members of this team are generally taller. As for whether they are short or not, it is not obvious from the riding condition.

Then Werner and the people in Fort Worcester saw Ye Man's charge. If you are too far away, you can feel the mighty momentum, but you can see the characteristics of orderliness and flowing water.

For the beastmen, it was a thunderous charge against iron and fire.

The black armor and riding are the color of iron, the red cloak is the color of fire, and the sound of running is the color of approaching thunder.

The sound of five hundred cavalry covered up the drums and roars of the Beastmen, and the Beastmen had no choice but to use low and powerful horns to stabilize the morale of the army.

For the beastmen, there are no wargroups or clans, but beast herds.

They are distinguished by the size of the horns on their heads. The lowest in human form is called 'Ungor'.

Most of the Angors only have the small horns that are half of a kid, which is called a bad horn. They are also thinner, a circle or two smaller than ordinary adults. They are half human and half beast, and their faces have animal features. But it has not been exaggerated enough to grow into the heads of common cows, horses, and sheep, but the feet have turned into hooves.

These creatures held low-quality long spears in their hands and barely formed a spear array to resist the cavalry attack they thought would happen next.

not far away,

Biangol was on the first level of the gore herd, holding a long ladder in a very funny way. The ladder was obviously prepared for the siege, and the current move is to use itself as a dam to stop the flood.

But Gore at least has the appearance of a warrior in terms of physique and equipment. Imagine those barbarians with hand axes and big sticks. The horns on the head are also well developed. The average size is 180cm, and the weight is basically more than 210 pounds. Even in modern Europe, this body can be called a man.

As a result, Yeman did not rush straight, but spread out to both sides at a distance of about 100 meters.

The Yemans are in ten columns, and when this unfolds, there are five on the left and five on each side, and fifty people on the horizontal side, and because of the deliberate adjustment of the running speed, the horizontal side continues to elongate, so there is a dislocation of layers .

The final result was that the Yeman used the slanted side of the column to target the Beastman troops as a whole, thus obtaining a better shooting range.

A wave of deadly shots followed.

This is no ordinary hand crossbow, crossbow, or large crossbow, but a scorpion crossbow, or a portable bed crossbow.

This weapon has been modified by modern magic, and the range has been increased from 370 meters of the ordinary scorpion crossbow to nearly 600 meters, and the effective killing has been increased from the original 100 meters to 180 meters.

It is definitely not comparable to the heavy bed crossbow with thick arms that can penetrate six or seven people 300 meters away, but the crossbow is also as thick as an index finger, and it is more than enough to kill a target within 100 meters.

'Om! '

Amidst the sound of locusts passing through the air, a wave of crossbow arrows flew out, and the array of beastmen immediately became horrific. More than 200 arrows fell to the ground.

In the past, even if he was shot by a feathered arrow, he could still fold the arrow or continue to fight after drawing the arrow, but this time he also gave up.

The crossbow arrows are thick, powerful and explosive, with sharp front ends, and there are not a few people who are shot out with a blood hole.

At the same time, the night barbarians were shaking the winch almost in unison, and the scorpion crossbow was wound up.

The shooting frequency is low, which is a disadvantage of using the scorpion crossbow.

And even if a gear winch is used, the thick and tough magic string cannot be pulled apart by ordinary people. It requires a lot of strength. After all, this weapon is usually a bed crossbow that is placed on the ground and operated by 2-3 people.

Beastmen are not creatures so stupid that they can't even recognize life-and-death situations. Their intelligence is not bad, and because of this, a wave of powerful blows woke them up!

Many Beastmen realized that the night brutes could not rush up to fight them, and that if they did not do something, they would be wiped out by waves of arrows.

The shamans among the Beastmen directly shook the staffs tied to the skulls, bless Ungor and Gore with bloodthirsty skills, and the army leader led the beasts to howl and charge.

There is no trick, but the momentum is good, after all, the number can be as large as a thousand or a few hundred. Looking at the past from a parallel perspective, it can be regarded as crowds of people, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and demons dancing wildly.

In addition, the Beastmen also had some archers. The few archers shot one arrow after another in a frenzied manner, which looked like random shooting.

In this era, 100 meters is really not close, not to mention that anyone with a little knowledge knows that the accuracy and power of a bow and arrow largely depend on the arrow, not the bow. Made it, the arrow exceeds 100 meters, one is not accurate, and the other is weak.

Yeman ignored the impact of the momentum of the herd's charge, and ignored the sporadic arrow strikes at all. While they were winding up in an orderly manner, they continued to run diagonally on their mounts.

It seems that it takes some time for the herd to rush over, and the diagonal running of the cavalry can extend this time to a considerable extent. And that meant more rounds of scorpion crossbow strikes.

'Om! '

The rain of death arrows did not cover the sky and fall like rain. They flew straight, like black electric snakes, and when viewed from the sky, they were like black energy shock waves. People are on their backs. To the beast people, this is not archery, this is javelin shooting!

'Om! '

After the third wave of crossbow strikes, the Beastmen's herd had collapsed.

The scene was too tragic, and there was no possibility of protection at all.

Among the Beastmen were Ungor guards with axes and shields. The wooden shields in their hands were directly shot through, or even exploded. Afterwards, the remaining power of the crossbow arrows could still shoot the thick-skinned Beastmen straight at them. Put on.

This is basically impossible to play, they rarely even have iron armor, it would be nice to have an iron plate tied to the body as a goggle.

Among the Beastmen, there were also some mid- to high-level arms. For example, they had two teams of Gore, the twisted and demonized centaur, and they were divided into axe-throwing soldiers and guards.

They were ordered by the army lord to attack at full speed, while the army lord, army leaders, and shamans restrained the herd as much as possible, and followed Beast Hoof Gore to break out of the encirclement.

Yes, just over 10 minutes into the battle, the Beastmen had already conceded defeat and decided to break out.

Just as Kane expected, they planned to run into the wooded area further east.

However, it was about 6 kilometers, and for the Beastmen, it was the road of death.

But since Kane had let Celine ambush in the woods, Maria would naturally not forcefully intercept her. Under her command, Yeman gradually became 10 teams of 50 people operating independently. For enemies that have already collapsed, the night barbarians can fight more boldly.

Of course, even in hand-to-hand combat, the barbarians are not afraid at all. The saber is sharp, the war beast is fast, and the Yeman is not afraid of death. However, Maria will not fight hard just because Yeman is capable of fighting. She is following Yeman's characteristics, giving full play to its advantages as much as possible, and at the same time training her commanding ability.

Due to the special command system, Maria's control over the deployment is far superior to the communication methods of flags and horns in this era. She even has a command interface similar to the battlefield situation map. eagle.

In addition, Maria can also accurately give different orders to each individual, but this is undoubtedly a challenge for her. Mainly a matter of habit.

Divinity gave her the ability to multitask, but personal habits became an obstacle. Now she is trying to wit several teams at the same time instead of commanding 500 individuals at the same time.

Beasthoof Gore approached a group of Queen Nightmans and threw throwing axes. Before that, they had already suffered two rounds of shooting, with heavy casualties, all supported by the excitement of killing red eyes.

But after throwing this wave of flying axes, the excitement couldn't stand it anymore. The flying axes didn't cause any damage to Yeman at all. road.

How can I fight this?

Beast hoof gore guards still want to try. They hold long-handled machetes in both hands. When they usually confront human knights, they have a chance to chop off the opponent's horse, or kill the horse directly.

It's a pity that this time they encountered Yeman's intensive care.

Although they are considered large creatures, their own ability to resist blows is stronger, but they can't withstand three arrows.

The power of the scorpion crossbow is indeed fierce, especially it is equipped with various types of arrows. To deal with these unarmored ones, it is natural not to use armor-piercing arrows, but swallow-winged arrows that can create large wounds and have barbs.

Although the Beastmen are wild and warlike, they can fight to the death when they are crazy, but they also have morale. After all, they are intelligent creatures with emotions.

Faced with the terrifying shooting effect of the scorpion crossbow, the beast people who claim to be unafraid of bloody scenes can't help being heartbroken.

Or in other words, it created a one-sided massacre scene at the very beginning, directly beating the Beastmen, and did not give them the chance to heighten the atmosphere and become fanatical and fearless because of the hearty bloody battle.

At this time, Kane and his party, who were heading towards Fort Worcester, were already gradually approaching the core area of ​​Barony Worcester.

In Kane's eyes, this is a typical core territory of barons in the Middle Ages.

The baron's castle is on a small dirt hill, so it's not dangerous, but at least it's condescending.

The settlements of the people's houses are some distance away from the castle, hundreds of meters away, which not only reflects class differences, but also has military considerations.

A certain area outside the castle is open and empty, and no trees are allowed, which is convenient for observation and heavy weapons.

The folk houses are either not far from the river or not far from the road.

Worcesterburg here is the riverfront.

The Oren River flows from northwest to southwest until it enters the sub-forest where the family of four was rescued at first. Even that forest is called Oren Forest, which shows the importance of the river in this era, the source of life.

Residential houses are clustered, and the houses are built in a random and messy manner. Except for the avenue leading to the castle, the houses are arranged in rows and relatively concentrated, and there is no structure at all.

Now, these houses have obviously been looted and destroyed, and they have been half ruined.

Kane has always paid more attention to details, and this time is the same.

Along the way, he found that there were no large rocks on the surface.

Now we know where they are.

Castle exterior.

Inland baronies do not need to spend manpower and money on interior and exterior walls.

But there is obviously a need here. Beastmen, green skins, and robbers are frequent haunts. Without good enough protection, it is difficult to farm with peace of mind.

He guessed that the outer city wall of Worcesterburg should not be the result of a generation. Although it is not a circle around the castle in the general sense, but an extended area, it is still a big project for the productivity of this era.

Indeed, if you are close enough, you have the opportunity to infer from the color of the stones, the growth of weeds, etc. that the wall has not only gone through years, but has also been repaired many times.

Whether it is the lord or the people, they have paid a lot for better survival, and this long wall is a testimony.

It can also be regarded as a major feature of Solland - the castle is compact and sturdy, and the outer city wall is also solid and reliable, all of which are qualified military facilities.

Kane was observing and thinking on the mount, and Hermione leaned over on the mount. "Kane, Leonie invited us into Worcesterburg."
