Chapter 156
"Hope is too late." Rand looked at the sky and murmured to himself.
Since Perot did not choose to occupy the line of defense to attack him, the reinforcements, the goal must be to achieve a strategy to destroy the main villages of Crescent Territory before nightfall.
Although the sky is dimmer now, it has not yet arrived at dusk.
Maybe they can have time to arrive before the enemy breaks through the village and save the scene.
Rand now leads an army of 800, the most central one is the 120-man personal guard.
In addition, there are 65 cavalrymen, and the rest are infantrymen.
But well-trained and firm willed, it is far from comparable to ordinary infantrymen.
...
Karin finally rejected Taran's proposal.
It’s not that she has a deep relationship with this village, but that she simply wants to see the changes in the world.
Since these people belong to the head of the cult, Rand Cameron.
Then will their enemy be the Torch Church?
Maybe she can see some old acquaintances who were once fighting against the blood of nurturing.
If it were normal, Taran would persuade him, after all, he still had a good impression of this quiet blind girl who didn't talk much.
And he just works and has no princess temper.
She obviously looks like a spoiled princess and has no calluses on her hands that she has done, but she is very pragmatic and has a good personality.
Although I feel it's a pity, Taran doesn't have this time to spare.
The soldiers on the defense line are delaying time with their lives, and he must not waste it.
The next moment after confirming the situation, Taran ordered the launch of the war-era emergency plan.
All adult and middle-aged villagers were allocated weapons, militias were equipped with weapons and armor, and garrisons were stationed in formation.
Elderly, women and pregnant women are asked to hide in the cellar, or just ask to hide in the house and not go out.
Escape now is a very dangerous act. Talan had asked Karin to take the little girl to the crescent collar with her before, which was already considered selfish and planned to arrange horses for them.
Otherwise, in this period, it would be better to stay in the village than to leave the village and go out into the wild.
It is better to pray that the enemy will not massacre the city after breaking through the village.
Then Taran sent someone to contact the surrounding villages urgently and transfer the bullheads to the crowd.
In fact, other villages may be attacked, but only here is the possibility of defending them.
Therefore, Talan concentrated his troops without hesitation.
Now it depends on how long the soldiers on the defense can delay. If they can drag the taurens around them come over, the probability of keeping them will be much higher.
The crescent moon leader is not small, and it is probably impossible to transfer all the taurens from the crescent moon leader over, but if you just mobilize the nearby taurens, it is still possible to be too late.
But it's just possible.
According to the reward of the scout who came from the line of defense to report the news, it seemed that there were two thousand enemies, and a large number of elite knights armed to their teeth.
It is very likely that the enemy will come at a speed that will not be much later than the scouts.
With the issuance of Taran's order, the entire core village of Crescent Moon led into a tense atmosphere.
This is the largest village in the entire Xinyueling, with the largest population and the largest armed forces, but it is just a village after all. Facing a large number of enemies, the winning rate is slim.
But they intend to resist, rather than surrender immediately.
In fact, although they, even Taran, can be regarded as Rand's loyal subjects, they will definitely not do this if they want to die for Rand immediately.
However, they would never give up on the village like this and would not intend to surrender.
Since accepting Rand's rule, I have learned a new way of farming, and obtained new, although weird, but friendly livestock and missionaries, and the taxes have been reduced.
Seeing that life is about to get better and become stable, someone actually wants to come and take it away or destroy it?
Then all the villagers in Talan and the Crescent Moon Leader must say this word.
"impossible!"
If you want to rob, plunder, or burn the village, you will step on their bodies.
After everyone is ready.
The nearby tauren arrived first.
Taran breathed a little relieved and ordered the ox-headed people to put on their armor, outside the village, they could see the army of Perowu.
The Tauren's armor is no longer as thick-made as they did when they first faced the Knight Infantry of the Snow Fox Eagle.
Now their bodies are complete and well-equipped.
It is lined with cotton armor, and everyone has a double-edged axe, which looks very difficult to mess with.
If we compare the same combat power, the fully armed tauren will be much more powerful on the ground than the fully armed male Naga.
Karin hid in the room with the little girl from the old Tata family. Although the doors and windows were closed, Karin could still rely on her own temperature sensing ability to feel the outside world.
Although Karin's temperature sensing ability range has also been greatly weakened due to the significant weakening of its strength, it is still possible to perceive the situation nearby.
And Karin could clearly feel the tension in this village.
And, these people's determination to resist. Thank you for your support!
Thank you!
Chapter 229: Red like rain (2)
Perot saw this solid village, the newly dug trenches outside the village, and the archers waiting for the towers next to the village.
I realized that the difficulty here may not be easier than when I am on the defense line.
Perot's impression is that Rand has obtained the chaotic land of Crescent as his fief for only one year.
Can this little time make the land people not even want their lives to support him?
This Rand is not the leader of a cult, and he brainwashed the villagers, right?
Perot sighed. He really didn't want to face Rand. Since becoming the first heir to Earl of Flying Fox, he has been studying this opponent he was destined to face.
The more you study, the more you feel the horror.
But unfortunately, he couldn't convince his father.
Then he needs to prepare more for many things now.
His father's army was destined to last for a long time and he had the right not to expire or be invalid.
He decided to destroy Rand's loyal power first.
For example, the super large village in front of you.
He doesn't mind doing anything to win.
He just arranged for someone to try and said he had surrendered, but unfortunately these people were not fooled.
Then you can only attack hard.
Perot gave up all fantasies and ordered an attack.
This army was considered to be a marching force, and did not bring civilians, and not even brought much supplies, only a few days of food rations.
And I can't afford to delay.
The sandbags were ready in advance, and Perro asked his infantry to go up first, and carried the sandbags to fill in the newly dug out and very shallow trenches.
Perot stood behind, watching his infantry rushing up and landing the road with his body or sandbags.
During this period, he has established prestige, but he has not been unable to command.
After seeing some of the trenches filled in, Perro ordered the main force, namely the elite infantry and the flying fox army, to rush forward.
The village where Taran is located is not small in scale, as the core of the Crescent Territory, and the wooden walls of the village are also stacked layer by layer, and the end facing the sky is sharpened.
The knight cannot cross it in a short period of time, and the spell cannot immediately destroy all the village walls.
In fact, if you give Perot two or three days, you can easily break the exterior walls of the village, which will make the attack much more convenient, but unfortunately Perot is grabbing time.
Just like Rand who was rushing over at this time.
Perro couldn't hold on for a minute.
Since the last attack by the Snow Fox Earl, many watchtowers have been built in the village.
Now used as an arrow tower.
Several more sturdy arrow towers also have crossbows installed.
Moreover, behind the village wall was raised, and the archers poured arrows and crossbow arrows into the enemy from behind the village wall.
There are still many adventurers who stay here. After knowing the situation, many adventurers left, but there are still a few who are willing to participate in this defense while collecting compensation.
They are not willing to die for Rand, at least most adventurers who are willing to participate in the defense are not. These people are simply confident in Rand, thinking that they can be kept here, and thinking that Rand will come in time.
And defeat the enemies outside the village.
Arrows poured down like rain.
Screams and roars kept coming from outside.
And what both sides have, roar and roar.
At this time, it started to rain lightly again. Not long after the rain had just been rained, the ground that had not yet been completely dry gradually became muddy.
Many soldiers outside fell down, covered in mud.
But soon got up again.
No one cared too much.
War is not a handsome thing, and the most common main theme is the embarrassment and life-and-death relationship.
The war in villages is different from the war on the defense line.
There is nothing to fight for in the city or gate.
Perot's warriors and the mages with a very small proportion had only one purpose, to destroy all obstacles in front of the road in front of them.
The village can be said to be very strong, but for these elites who even have the highest professionals, the solid wooden walls are nothing.
In the village, Taran stood together with the soldiers, the sages, and the temporary recruitment of villagers and militias.
Taran has a reason to protect this place.
Moreover, Taran is not young anymore, and his son has grown up. He has done many things in his life.
He is not very afraid of death.
The villagers also have reasons to keep here, they must keep their homes.
The soldiers swore allegiance to Rand, and the people of the Taunt thought Rand was the savior of everything.
them……
——United to the whole world—
The village wall that looked very strong did not last long, and was soon cut off by the tip of the knife and then shattered and collapsed.
Then, the first thing these infantrymen, who are theoretically elite, and the elite Fox Army, faced by the Taurus Legion.
There are not many, with a total of twelve adult taurens.
But wearing heavy armor can be said to be armed to the teeth.
He is over two meters tall, with his majestic and burly body, and the big axe in his hand, which is very impressive.
And the Tauren can also train their profession level.
A tauren of ordinary profession level can be equivalent to an elite level human.
Elite-level taurens may also be eligible to meet some less powerful superior human professions.
