Chapter 55: Dylan's Attack and Defense

The fierce siege battle lasted until dusk. Below the Dylan Fortress, corpses have piled up in mountains, and the flames attached to the magician's flame tar bombs and the arrows shot by the barbarian dwarf are so powerful that even the blood flowing from the corpses cannot be extinguished. Therefore, below the fortress Large pits were burned one after another on the pile of corpses, which had a great negative impact on the siege troops. Of course, the disgusting smell in the air can be imagined.

On the left side of Dilan Fortress, the farmer volunteers from the Wheat Plains gathered chaotically into a large motley ocean, and a large number of reserve troops could be seen from the distance still gathering. But on the right side of Dilan Fortress, three neat and huge phalanxes suddenly appeared!

The phalanx gives people the feeling of a torrent of steel, rolling in. Even from such a long distance, it gives people the feeling that it will rush in and swallow people alive!

This is exactly the team of confidants that the disciplinary knight Scott pulled out from Stromgarde. Among these three huge phalanxes, the largest and largest one is undoubtedly the phalanx of the masked slaves. In fact, among the three leaders of the masked slaves, there are Both were Scott's men. The second square formation is dominated by black iron heavy shield giant hammer warriors. These iron lumps are originally simple-minded and have strong limbs, not to mention that both the chief and deputy leaders were killed by the monster Marcel. Without a leader, the dragons were bewitched by the temporary castle master.

The main force in the third phalanx is the single-axe, heavy-shield, flat-helmet knight (Bird Man). These guys who run quickly and defend extremely well are the legion directly under Scott. They have the smallest number, but it is foreseeable that , but the explosive power is definitely amazing. Once these nearly a hundred knights with single axes, heavy shields and flat helmets attack the fortress, it will become a massacre in an instant! Even if Allen returns to form immediately and makes a shining debut, it is impossible to cause a reversal!

So far, the rebels have still not sent troops. But Scott stationed his main force there, which had two very terrible effects. First, the reinforcements turned into enemy forces. It cut off the hope of Dilan Fortress to rely on reinforcements from Stromgarde, and at the same time, it suffered a heavy blow. Damage the opponent's morale. Secondly, they lead but don't attack, which makes people think that they are recharging their strength, which puts huge pressure on the defenders. The defenders feel that they only need to show the slightest flaw. Then the group of former friendly troops under the city will swarm up without mercy and give these tired warriors a fatal blow!

As night falls, the three heroes will drive the cannon fodder peasant volunteers to attack every half hour. They made it clear that they wanted to use the human sea tactic, but the three heroes' clever plan gave John, the defender of the fortress, a headache and exhausted. However, suffering from a lack of manpower, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

The Dilan Fortress is brightly lit all year round, but it consumes too much kerosene and other items. In order to prevent the city from being attacked by magic from below, only the dim lights on the city were shining with a sad light. They were still flashing quietly in a sheltered manner. Even the dinner that was served, everyone ate it carefully. , the only ones who dared to shout out were the wounded who had been severely injured.

In the brightly lit hall inside the fortress, a very tall, bald man wearing silver-white armor was walking around anxiously. Yelling questions in a growling manner:

"All dead? All dead! To deal with those damn farmers, you will lose a total of three hundred and forty-eight people! There are also the Duke's personal guards to help. How many people are still holding on to the city wall now?"

The three people sitting opposite the bald man all had wounds on their bodies, and there was blood seeping out from the white cloth wrapped around the wounds. They frowned and gritted their teeth, seemingly speechless. Only the lights were quietly shaking slightly. Finally, an elite swordsman with two-handed giant swords spoke out in protest:

"Although those guys are farmers, there are too many of them! They are not afraid of death, and they seem to be hypnotized by the devil and rush forward crazily. Moreover, they also received a large amount of equipment as reinforcements, all of which were transported from Stromgarde. Yes! Three hundred and forty-eight of us died. Those damn bugs were not only twenty times more dead than us? What’s more, half of these three hundred and forty-eight people died hidden below. Under the sneak attack of the magician among the farmers"

John took a few deep breaths, his face was ashen and he wanted to scold loudly, but even he knew that what his subordinate said was the truth, so he irritably changed the topic to another aspect:

"How is the Duke's injury?"

An attendant came out timidly. To be precise, this unfortunate guy was forcibly pushed out by his companions to bear Lord John's anger. He said cowardly:

"Still... we have to wait for a while."

His words stopped abruptly. Because John had already drawn a huge sword with an extremely broad blade, which was as tall as a man, and aimed it at the attendant like a fly!

The scene can only be described as the scene after a beetle was stepped on with force.

The tragic sight of the bloody corpse made everyone in the hall remain silent, but John's anger seemed to be vented with the gurgling blood. The giant sword in his hand trembled with the ups and downs of his breathing, and he said calmly:

"Push the reserve team to the city wall, withdraw the warriors who have persisted until now, and issue a declaration that Duke Allen will be healed within six hours. Lead us to repel the traitors!"

Everyone was overjoyed at first. Later, he felt that it was quite inappropriate. One person hesitated and tried:

"Sir, will Duke Allen really recover within six hours and lead us? If the Duke does not convey this intention, then I'm afraid..."

John seemed oblivious to the concern in this man's words and said coldly:

"If the master cannot show up within six hours, then it will be of no use whether he shows up or not. Don't say anything and come to me to accuse me. Once the fortress is broken, how can the eggs be destroyed when the nest is overturned?"

After everyone heard this, a chill ran down their spines. For a moment, what he wanted to say next and what he wanted to say were all frozen in his mouth, throat, and stomach. There was a deathly silence in the room, which was inexplicably reminiscent of a tomb.

…………

In the dark night, the farmer volunteers, under the influence of King Arthur and the temptation of food, continued to attack the city. Under the hypnosis of hunger and mental anesthesia, these originally honest farmers completely forgot about fear and pain. They numbly continued to attack every half an hour, ignoring death and blood. The human resources on the vast wheat plain were really overwhelming. Quite rich, not to mention that at this time, the disciplinary knight Scott also took the initiative to open the weapons and armor warehouse in Stromgarde, and was very active in providing equipment to the Farmer Volunteer Army!

Although the three heroes in the plot still maintain a quite wary distance from Scott, the two parties have reached a temporary willingness to cooperate under the urging of the common goal. This kind of union is like the union between a shy man and a woman. First they approach slowly, then chat, then hold hands, then touch, and then ooxx. Entering the honeymoon phase is always a process. Scott's kind act of actively donating weapons is equivalent to the beginning of the "stroking" process.

The farmers' volunteers for the next round of siege had already selected their equipment and were standing around numbly. They only waited for an order before they rushed towards Dilan Fortress like a tide. Lao Si and others who were hiding in the dark nearby also put on the yellow tattered linen clothes worn by the peasant volunteers. The purpose was obviously obvious. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the siege to sneak into the camp of the three heroes of the plot and suddenly cast a thunderbolt. Attack and assassinate!

But just when Lao Hu was about to rush out first, a hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder!

A white, steady, strong, neat hand.

According to Lao Hu's arrogant character, he was the kind who would break the wire rope tied around him once he started. But when the hand gently rested on his shoulder, Lao Hu immediately gave up running. thoughts.

Fang Lin frowned, pressed his temple lightly with his other hand, shook his head slightly, and made a retreat gesture. The group of people immediately retreated quickly and slipped back into the darkness silently.

"I'm not completely recovered yet." Fang Lin said with a bitter smile: "But the time and place you chose to attack the three heroes were too immature, forcing me to temporarily give up the progress of assimilating the Eye of Fool. If I just rush in like this, it will only They were afraid that they would be swallowed up to the point where no bones were left. The three heroes themselves were quite powerful. If they could not kill with one blow and a large number of farmer volunteers came up, even if Allen came, they would be killed by ants! "

"Then what should we do now?" Lao Si asked doubtfully.

"Of course we have to wait." Fang Lin said tiredly with his eyebrows crossed: "I once saw a giant ballistae on the Torrent Castle. This thing is not only used to defend the city, but also has extraordinary power in attacking the city. Among the Torrent Castle There are also war weapons such as giant catapults that are specially used to bombard enemy siege machines. If Scott was not so stupid, he would definitely not give up this excellent advantage. "

"Of course it will be inconvenient to transport these things, so we have to wait patiently until the siege machinery is transported out of Stromgarde, and Dilan Fortress has to send people out to forcibly destroy the siege machinery. Then there will be chaos. It’s time to take action!”
