Chapter 39

Hu Meng was shocked when he received the news.

"What do your adults say?"

"My lord thinks that the enemy's reinforcements are three to 4000 people, and they are led by Jiuling'er from Corenia Fortress. They are extremely threatening, so they plan to send Lord Brownstone from the Wild Boar Tribe to stop them and delay their time to cross the river."

"Your family is still continuing to attack the city?" Humeng asked.

"Yes. Today, the western section of the city wall has been captured by us many times. Breaking the city is already a matter of time. My lord hopes that the attack at the east city gate will be more violent, and that Tian Ji's troops will be firmly restrained. To cover the main force, open a gap at the south gate, and successfully break through the city of Odessa."

Hu Meng groaned silently, lowered his head, and circled around the horse.

"Tell your lord, when the city is about to be breached, it is not appropriate to disperse the troops on the main battlefield, but to concentrate all forces to launch a fierce attack on it, and strive to accomplish it overnight. I should send someone to the Heihao River to stop it. The Heihao River It is a very good defensive position in itself, as long as you stand on the opposite bank, you can achieve the purpose of delaying the enemy from crossing the river without too many troops." Hu Meng thought for a long time, stopped, and said slowly to Bo Lulin.

Bo Lulin was overjoyed, he bowed his hands to the tiger fiercely, and flew away on his horse.

At noon, Bald Wolf hurried to Heihao River with a thousand soldiers.Humeng asked them to bring enough arrows to use the terrain to block them. Once the reinforcements of the Caladians crossed the river, they would use long arrows to seal the river, and try not to start a frontal conflict with the enemy as much as possible to avoid unnecessary losses.Hu Meng repeatedly warned Bald Wolf to beware of Jiu Ling'er and not to underestimate him.He is no longer the naive little savage he was back then.

Inspector Faron stood on the tower of the city of Odessa, dressed in a commoner coat and long gown.In the afternoon, the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, and the Karad army was gradually unable to resist.He was distraught and eagerly awaited reinforcements.It has been five or six days since I rushed to the city of Odessa with reinforcements, and I haven't seen any other reinforcements yet.

Although the great victory at the Korenia fortress at the end of last year helped them temporarily get rid of the unfavorable situation of being invaded by Cusette, it did not help them obtain a lot of money and food, nor did it help the poor people to survive the long and severe winter smoothly .

The free folk riots that spread throughout Karad gradually calmed down with the death of the mob leaders before the end of last year, but its violence and madness severely damaged the already weak Karad Empire, making its political economy and culture even worse. suffered an unprecedented blow.The Empire State Building is already on the verge of collapse.

There are not a few court officials who are soberly aware of the crisis of the empire.Faron is one of them.Faron is a member of the royal Petros family, but his family has declined, and he is no different from ordinary people.When Farong was young, he worked hard to learn from famous teachers everywhere. He first served as some small local officials, and then gradually rose to the position of inspector in charge of one side.Farong was an honest, fair and benevolent official, won the hearts of the people, and made remarkable achievements.However, Faron's kind and modest character has created a bad hidden danger. The mayors of some small cities and big cities don't sell Faron's account very much.When they asked for money, they all ran to complain to him, but when they asked for help, they all hid faster than rabbits.

This time Kusaite invaded the city of Odessa in a large scale, and Faron happened to be in Danustika.He hurriedly led Danustika's two thousand guards to the city of Odyssa day and night.But the reinforcements from the city of Onila, which is adjacent to the city of Odessa, have not arrived for a long time.Although Faron sent Siou Yifu to urge him personally, there has been no news so far.

The news from the Corinia Fortress said that the Cusitites were outside the pass, so reinforcements there were even more elusive.

Faron looked at the fewer and fewer Calad soldiers on the tower, feeling heavy in his heart.Since the morning, the north city wall has become the focus of enemy attacks.Regardless of the heavy casualties, the Cusaite soldiers attacked tenaciously and stubbornly.They organized assault centurions again and again, took turns to attack tirelessly, tried every means to climb the city wall, and fought desperately with Karad soldiers, endlessly.The method of exchanging a few lives for the life of a soldier from the defenders by the Kusaites dealt a heavy blow to Karad, and a dangerous situation appeared on the defensive side of the north city wall.The soldiers of Karad were killed by the Kussets many times at their own defensive points, and there have been several times when individual defensive areas have been completely occupied by the Kussetts.

The soldiers on both sides opened their blood-red eyes, chopping with knives and axes, picking up spears and stabbing, using all kinds of methods, even biting their mouths and pinching their hands. Anyway, they used all the means that could make the other party die.The reserve troops blocked the holes of the guns and pulled out the nails again and again. They fought cruel hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.The battle on the city wall was unprecedentedly brutal.

In the afternoon, the Kusaites suddenly stopped attacking.Amidst the low and loud blaring of horns, the soldiers quickly retreated from the city to a safe place.But instead of retreating to the siege camp in the distance to rest, they assembled the whole army again, as if they were preparing for the next round of more violent attacks.

The city wall was densely packed with corpses, blood was overflowing, and the strong smell of blood floated in the air, filling the sky above the entire city.

Faron walked slowly on the city wall, his withered and thin face had no trace of blood, looking old and sad.He looked at the remains of soldiers lying on the wall in various postures, and at the wounded soldiers moaning loudly against the edge of the city wall. His heart was so painful that he could not express his sadness and pain in words. He hated The flames were burning fiercely.

He has always insisted on adopting a soft policy towards nomads, and he hopes to live in peace with these nomads.With his sincere heart, he moved and comforted countless nomadic nobles and ordinary people.He resisted all opinions and set up many fairs on the border, allowing the Kusets, Uwaites, and nomads in the desert to trade with the Karads here, barter, exchange what they have, and improve standard of living on both sides.He moved a large number of Uwaites to the border to help them build houses, taught them how to farm, and tried every means to make them gradually give up their nomadic life and get rid of the poverty of generations.

He tried his best to establish a good relationship with the tribal leaders, and provided food and money to the nomadic tribes who were in urgent need of help even when the treasury was extremely scarce.He didn't understand that he had done so many good things, including releasing Uchahan and Kuset tribal chiefs who were captured in Korenia Fortress very generously. Come to invade, come to plunder, why?Could it be that these nomads really have the nature of wolves, a wolf that can never be fed?
Faron thought of some members of the Senate.They once protested violently against their appeasement.They think that these barbarians on the border of the empire should be killed, and they should be robbed, until they are so heartbroken that they are as gentle as dogs in the garden: they have nothing left, they only know how to eat and linger on their stomachs, and their minds are only until there is food left.In this way, they will not have greedy desires.Without their desires, they would not be as they are now, sending troops to invade Karad land at every turn, wantonly killing and plundering our people.

Are those brutal and bloodthirsty congressmen right?Faron was confused and distressed.Why do two nations have to hate each other, conquer each other, enslave each other, can't they live together in friendship?

Why did the Kusaites have to attack Karad in an attempt to occupy Karad's territory?Ever since Urhun unified the various ministries of Kuset, the two countries have never stopped fighting, but who has benefited from both sides?What else is there besides piles of dead bones, profuse blood, tears of countless orphans and widowed mothers?
But the bloody battlefield in front of him almost made the old man lose his sanity.If the city is broken, what will be the fate of the people in the city?Burning and looting.Men would be killed, and women and children would become slaves to the Qussets.The houses will be burned, and the food and all items that can be exchanged for things will be moved back to the country of Qusait by these brutal barbarians.Therefore, the city of Odyssa must not be breached by the enemy.

Faron saw Yasu, the regiment commander he had brought from Danustika.Yasu was a muscular middle-aged man with a flat face and shrewd eyes.He was wounded, and his waist was wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, which had been stained red with blood.

"Master Inspector, there are only [-] soldiers left on the north wall. Do you want to send some troops from the east wall, otherwise the defense on this side may be very dangerous." After seeing Faron, Yasu hurriedly run over here.

Faron sighed, but remained silent.The people in the city were organized and divided into several groups to help defend the city, mainly in logistics.

Now is the period between the battles, and the common people ran out of their hiding places one after another, consciously doing the work they should do.Some people ran up the city wall to carry corpses and transport wounded soldiers.Some people gathered their weapons on the city wall and gathered the long arrows scattered everywhere.More people carried stones, raging wood, bundles of long arrows, brand new swords and spears to the city wall.People came and went on the city wall for a while, and the shouts became one piece.

"If we draw troops from the east wall, their defensive strength will simply be weakened, so demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall will not have much effect or significance on the defense of the entire city wall."

Yasu said in a low voice. "My lord, I don't know how the battle is going on at the east gate to guard Lord Tianji?"

"The situation must be very bad. He has only 500 men at the East Gate, and it is also very difficult to deal with the 5000-man army of Kusaites. The tiger he is facing is a famous general of the Kusaites. He is both wise and brave. He stormed yesterday In one day, the troops supervised by Tian Kai lost more than 300 people, and today's estimated loss will not be lower than this number."

"My lord, the reinforcements have not been seen for a long time, and we don't know when they will arrive. If we continue to wear down at this rate, in two or three days, the soldiers will be wiped out. Without soldiers, how can we defend the northern city wall?" live?"

"Of course." Faron said confidently.

He pointed his finger at the crowd and said: "Look at the people of Odyssa City, they are our last reserve team, the last line of defense. They are the same as us, and they are closely related to Odyssa City , Life and death are shared. So no one will give up the city of Odyssa. As long as the city of Odyssa is defended, everyone will have a way to survive."

Yasu didn't speak, he glanced at Faron with great respect and admiration, then bowed and left.Below the city, the sound of a huge bull horn sounded again, and the enemy's attack began.

Under the city wall, the Kusaite siege camp.

"The reinforcements of the Karad people have rushed to the west of the Heihao River, and Lord Humeng has assigned Bald Wolf to lead his troops to prevent the Karad people from crossing the river. Now that the city of Oderusa is approaching, we should end the Odelia as soon as possible." The battle on the outer wall of the city of Sa, free up your hands to eliminate the Calad reinforcements. In this way, the large forces can attack the city of Danustika as soon as possible." And several tribal leaders, solemnly said.

Katong is the little king of the Heimali tribe, and he and Muleke's general Kalu are warriors of the same tribe.Katong is tall and strong, with a beard like a steel needle.Hearing Bo Luji's words, he smiled and said, "Could it be that your lord means to fight all night?"

"Today we have consumed a large amount of Karad's defenders on the western wall. If we don't give them any chance to breathe and launch a fierce offensive again, I don't think they can last tonight. As long as we open a breakthrough, we can Rapidly expand the advantage, and then occupy the entire northern city gate. In this way, the city of Odryusa is basically under our control." Boluji looked around, "What do you think, my lords? Sacheng, not only can all the losses be made up for, but it can also make everyone's pockets bulge up quickly."

"Continuous attacks, the loss of the troops has reached 2000, and the soldiers are very tired. If you can take the city of Odessa in one night, it will indeed greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. But those who stick to the north wall It's Faron, who treats people kindly, conducts a generous government, and has won the hearts of the people. Under his inspiration, the people in the city may participate in the defense of the city. I hope you can consider it." Bo Luqin was a tall and thin elder with a gray beard.The relationship between him and Bo Luji has always been harmonious, and they both speak with one voice on many important matters.

Bo Luqin reminded Bo Luji in due course that he should pay attention to Farong's personal charm, and don't lose the big because of the small.

"The combat capabilities of the common people are limited, not to mention that the Karad people have always been cowardly, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, greedy for life and afraid of death, how much impact can a small Faron have on the siege?" Brownstone said disdainfully.

"Pay attention to it. Bo Luji's words of invading adults are very reasonable. Katong, how about you lead the troops to storm the city gate?" Boluji asked Katong.

"Attack the city gate? Do you want to disperse their forces?"

"Yes. The two masters, Brown Stone and Junhao, led their troops to attack the western part of the city wall, dragging the enemy's defensive force to the city wall, making them unable to support the main city wall. Lord Katong attacked the city gate with all his strength, and then dispersed them Part of the army. The rest of the troops are all cast on the main city wall, trying to win the first battle."

"Tomorrow morning, we can stand on the north city wall and enjoy the sunrise." Bo Luji said confidently to everyone.

Tiankai was in full armor, standing on the city wall, staring at the enemy's attacking troops below the city without blinking his eyes.Tian Ji was in his prime in his 30s and was the leader of the Julius family. He was the tribune of the city of Oderusa.

"My lord, the enemy has begun to attack." Tian Ji's wing commander Xio David said loudly.

Tian Ji laughed, and he excitedly said to Xio David: "Our reinforcements may have reached the Black Pick River."

"My lord, how do you know?" Xio David looked at Tian Ji strangely, wondering if there was something wrong with the reinforcements, and now he started talking nonsense.

"Tell the soldiers that the reinforcements will arrive immediately, and order everyone to put up all their strength to defend the city and wait for the reinforcements."

"My lord..." Theo David hesitated, hoping to get Tian Ji's explanation.

"Speaking of which, you are still the leader of the Mestrikalo family with the largest surname in the city of Odriza, so you are confused about how to fight. Have you seen the battle flag called Bald Wolf now? No, at noon I haven’t seen it anymore. The number and intensity of attacks by the ferocious army on the opposite side have increased significantly, what’s the problem?” Tian Ji asked.

Xio David suddenly came to his senses, "My lord, is it really possible for you to say that?"

"It's not really possible, but it's the fact. Look at the rear of the enemy troops. There are already more than a dozen piles of firewood piled up. It is estimated that they will attack the city overnight. The situation is not one-sided. The barbarians ignore the attack There is only one possibility of fighting with all your might, that is, some external factors compelled them to do so. Regardless of the extreme fatigue of the soldiers, they fought hard and recklessly. It’s okay to win. It is very likely that it will be their day of extinction."

"Your Excellency has subtle observation and rich experience, and the lower officials are indeed far behind. I will pass on the good news." After listening to Tian Ji's careful explanation, Xio David suddenly realized and ran away happily.

"Beat the drums, all troops enter defensive positions and prepare to meet the enemy." Tian Ji ordered loudly.

Bo Luji's troops only attacked the city gate twice during the several days of fighting.Because the attack surface of the city gate is very narrow, the soldiers of the attacking side are crowded together, and the losses are often very heavy when they are hit by ground from all directions.Compared with attacking the city with ladders, not only more soldiers died here, but also the attack effect was poor.But today the attack on the city gate must be launched again, and it is a fierce attack regardless of casualties.The more troops attracted by the city gate, the greater the possibility of successfully capturing the city wall for the Bolu tribe who mainly attacked the west section of the city wall.

Katong looked at the huge car crashing into the city, and the soldiers lined up raised their knives and shouted: "Warriors of the Heimoli Ministry, for the glory of the Kusaites, woo ho..."

Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons high at the same time and roared loudly: "Woo ho... woo ho..."

Sitting on his horse, Bo Luji turned his head and said to the horn soldiers, "Start the attack!"

The sound of the huge bull horn, one higher than the other, resounded through the battlefield.

Bolu invaded, and Bolu Peak each stood under its own battle flag, raised its sword and shouted: "Wooho..."

The soldiers tried their best one by one, as if they wanted to shout out the fear and fatigue in their hearts. They used up all their strength and shouted: "Woo ho... woo ho..."

The two tribal leaders held their weapons high and rushed down the city first.The soldiers followed closely behind, and fought out with the strongest valor.

Together with the soldiers, Katong supported the 12-meter-long and 70-centimeter-thick giant hammer on the ramming vehicle. With the sound of horns that shook the sky, he roared and began to push the ramming vehicle towards the city gate. .Hundreds of shield soldiers on both sides held their long shields high to cover the soldiers who were advancing with their carts.There was a sudden roar of killing on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the attacking troops rushed towards the south gate of Oderusa City like a tide.

On the city wall, Faron held the battle flag of Calad and stood solemnly among the soldiers.Standing at the forefront of the team, Yasu yelled loudly, "Arrow up, everyone up."

Seeing that the soldiers defending the city had been seriously reduced, many adult citizens consciously took up their swords and spears, and together with the soldiers, they squatted behind the battlements of the city wall, ready to participate in the battle.

Bo Luji made an arrow gesture to the horn player next to him.The sound of the horn suddenly changed, and the shrill sound of the horn suddenly broke through the roar of the soldiers on the battlefield.

"Let it go..." Following an order, the archers of the Kusaites first shot the long arrows in their hands, which opened the prelude to the bloody battle.The long arrows all over the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, making a loud howling sound.

The shield soldiers on the city wall stepped forward and raised their long shields to cover the shooting of the archers.Pointing forward with the saber in Yasu's hand, he turned his head and roared loudly: "Shoot... shoot, shoot..."

The piercing screams of the long arrows tearing the air almost covered the cries of the Kusaites rushing from below the city.The long arrows fell like a violent storm, hitting all accessible surfaces, making countless sounds.The screams and exclamations resounded all over the battlefield along with the fallen figures one after another.

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, Katong and the soldiers pushing the cart braved the long arrows whizzing back and forth in the sky, and marched forward with all their strength.Driven by nearly a hundred soldiers, the crash vehicle was speeding at a high speed. As the inertial force increased, it made a huge roar, and its momentum was astonishing.

Under the cover of the archers, the Cusaite soldiers quickly reached the city wall.They immediately set up hundreds of ladders along the city wall.Hundreds of assault squads immediately began to attack.The enemy's bow and arrow troops stopped firing continuously.Countless large and small stones suddenly flew out from the city wall, and occasionally there were huge thunder woods falling from the sky.The siege soldiers were hit violently for a while, causing heavy casualties.However, there are so many points for the enemy to attack the city, and the number of soldiers on the defensive side is so small that they are stretched and unable to take care of them.In a short time, Kusaite soldiers have successfully climbed over the city wall from many places.They were aggressive and rushed towards the Kharad soldiers.The brutal hand-to-hand combat started again.

Faron was tightly surrounded by several martial arts guards.He held up the battle flag and kept shouting loudly, boosting the morale of the soldiers.The soldiers who fought tenaciously saw that the Inspector stood on the city wall without fear and lived and died with them.

The battle became more and more fierce, and Yasu, covered in blood, suddenly appeared in front of Faron.

"My lord, go down quickly, it's too dangerous here, I can't protect your safety." Yasu yelled at Faron.

"Leave me alone. Even if I die, I won't go down." Faron said calmly and firmly.

Yasu had no choice but to stomp his feet fiercely, and turned around to face the enemy who rushed forward to kill him.

Kadong's siege troops were like a sharp long arrow, suddenly piercing into the vital point of the city of Odessa.The shield soldiers held up their large shields, covering their own soldiers tightly.There were not many Karad soldiers on the city gate tower, and the long arrows shot were sparse, and there was no threat at all.

During the period of attacking the city of Odessa, the Cusets only attacked the city gate twice, which greatly paralyzed Karad, who was weak in defense.They were lucky enough to think that the enemy would no longer take advantage of difficulties and sacrifice a large number of troops to attack the city gate.So they repeatedly draw strength from here to supplement other places.

The car crashing into the city was getting faster and faster, and the soldiers pushing the cart were already running.The shield soldiers protecting them could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and the defensive gap was getting wider and wider.About 70 meters away from the city gate, Katong finally erupted.

"Brothers, go..." Katong kicked away a shield soldier blocking his way, and suddenly yelled loudly.The savagery of the soldiers had already been aroused by the majestic crashing vehicles. Amidst the shouts of Katong, they pushed aside the shield soldiers blocking them one after another. With all his strength, he pushed the huge city crash cart and rushed towards the two closed city gates without hesitation.The fallen soldiers were either crushed in half by the spinning wheels, or trampled to death by their galloping companions.Everyone's emotions went crazy with the howling truck crashing into the city.They roared and ran, seeing nothing but the city gate.

The shield soldiers did not forget their mission, they stubbornly held their long shields high, and followed closely behind like flying.The Karad soldiers on the gate tower angrily shot long arrows one after another.They know that they are powerless to stop the enemy's impact, but they know that they must stick to it and must not take a step back.

The war drum on the gate tower was slammed, and the low and rapid sound of the war drum suddenly overwhelmed the sound of the enemy's horns, and suddenly sounded above the city of Odyssa.

"boom……"

An earth-shattering loud noise came from the city gate.The soldiers on the battlefield felt the ground tremble and the city walls tremble, as if the entire city of Odyssa was shaking with the sound.

Faron woke up from the bloody fight in front of him, and he raised his eyes to look at the gate tower in surprise.A ray of sunset slowly sank to the horizon.

The curtain of the night was slowly drawn up.Outside the city of Odriza, dozens of huge fires suddenly lit up.The fire illuminated the city of Odessa in the night, highlighting the bloody battlefield in an incomparably terrifying and miserable way.

Faron stood on the top of the city gate, looking at the fire in the dark night, and sighed helplessly.The guardian of the people, Tian Ji, sent someone to tell him that the tiger's troops were attacking very fiercely in the east city. Although the enemy attacked intermittently, the soldiers of our own army suffered heavy losses and could barely maintain the situation.He concluded that the reinforcements had reached the Heihao River, and if the reinforcements attacked all the way forward, they should be able to reach the city of Odessa tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Mestri Carlos Hely, the city magistrate of Odriza, sent food and weapons by hand.He stood by Faron's side, silently looking at the army of Kussets in the distance. "Master Inspector, do you think the words of Lord Inspector Tian Kai are credible?"

"Last year in Corenia Fortress, there was a small squadron leader who predicted this war." Faron did not answer Hely's question, but told him another thing that was not asked.

"I talked to him in private. Time, place, tactics, military strength, and many other things are basically the same as his original prediction. He told me that we must win this war. If we win, at least we can Strive for four or five years of peace. By using this time, our economy can be restored and the lives of ordinary people can be better.”

"What if we lose?" Helly asked worriedly.

"The Kussets will occupy this land in a short period of time, looting all the valuable things on this land, and turning them into ruins. With the current national strength of Karad, even if these robbers are driven away in the future, But in the short term, there is no ability to rebuild their homes on these ruins, let alone save thousands of lives that have already died. Therefore, this battle must be won." Faron said firmly.

Helly didn't speak.There is no chance of winning in sight at the moment.Ambition alone is not enough, strength is also required.But the reality is too cruel.

"If Lord Tiankai's estimation is correct, the reinforcements coming from the north of the Black Pick River, only Corenia's reinforcements are the most likely. I hope this kid won't let me down." Faron looked at the Black Pick River direction, muttered to himself.

The low and loud sound of horns suddenly pierced the darkness, and the enemy started to attack again.The regiment captain Yasu led the last [-] soldiers of the reserve team and rushed towards the surging enemy.The gap must never be opened.Once the defensive front is opened, the consequence may be the collapse of the entire defensive front.Even if you use a corpse to block it, you have to block it.

Regardless of his own safety, Yasu took the lead and charged into the enemy group wielding his saber.What he met head-on was a Kuset centurion with several long arrows in his body.The Yasu people walked away with their swords, snatched into the opponent's flank, and hacked the enemy to death with a single blow.Immediately afterwards, he fell into the fierce siege of the opponent's three soldiers.The soldiers around kept screaming and falling down.No one retreated, everyone was red-eyed, completely forgetting what life is.

The Kusaites are getting more and more crazy. After paying a heavy price and returning without success several times, they finally seized a piece of territory in the middle of the night. How could they give up so easily.

A Callad soldier managed to chop off one of the enemy's legs before dying.The Kusaite soldier with a broken leg was stabbed several times, but he found a backed one. He was shot through his body, and then cut off the hands of the gunman.The Calad soldier's hands were chopped off, and he screamed heart-piercingly under the excruciating pain. He didn't even notice the saber pierced into his chest.The two soldiers bumped into each other angrily, and fell down together, entangled tightly.

Climbing up from the ladder, a big man named Kusaite shot out a long arrow.A Karad soldier who was fighting nearby was pierced by a long arrow. The Karad soldier didn't say a word, and the empty door he exposed directly caused the enemy soldier to slash him with a knife. When the blood was spraying, he suddenly shot, taking advantage of the enemy's unawares He slashed the opponent's neck with a knife, and then howled wildly. With all his strength, he staggered towards the archer who had jumped into the city wall.That burly Kusait shot another arrow.The blood-soaked Karad soldier was knocked back again and again by the impact of the long arrow, and finally died of exhaustion.

Yasu had already killed six people and was stabbed several times himself.His body was bleeding too much, and his strength was rapidly failing.The surrounding soldiers and the wolves and tigers of the Kusaites were still fighting.

On the city wall, people in all kinds of clothes and soldiers in armor mixed together, fighting bravely at various defensive points.Shouts, roars, clashes of weapons, drums, horns, all kinds of sounds intertwined and resounded through the night sky.

Yasu was stabbed again.He clearly heard the sound of his shoulder bone breaking, he saw a puddle of blood spurting out, and felt that the blood splashed on his face was still warm.He no longer had the strength to raise the knife, and he swayed, trying not to let himself fall.

The enemy swung his round saber again, aiming at his neck and slashing at him.The saber suddenly lost its strength halfway, and although it hit Yasu's neck, it only drew a bloody stream.The enemy looked at Yasu in disappointment, and fell slowly, with a bloody saber stuck in his body.

A Karad soldier appeared in front of Yasu and rescued Yasu. He opened his mouth and shouted vigorously.But Yasu couldn't hear it, he didn't know what his subordinates were talking about, and his vision gradually became blurred.The soldier quickly killed another person, and with the help of two comrades approaching, he grabbed Yasu who fell to the ground.Yasu was exhausted.The soldiers were dazzled by hatred, and one of them shouted loudly: "Kill...kill..."

The fierce battle has lost its rules, and everyone gathers together in groups of three or four, fighting to see who is more ruthless.No one tried to dodge any more. Whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, everyone had the will to die and the thought of dying with the enemy, just like a group of lunatics who lost their minds, tearing and biting each other.

Katong's voice was hoarse.Seven or eight of the crash cars had been destroyed, either the frames were knocked apart, or they were ignited by the rockets shot down by Calad soldiers.Now Katong is yelling, arranging for the soldiers to prepare another crash vehicle.

Today's attacks came one after another, but they didn't achieve the effect Bo Luji wanted to achieve.The Karad defenders probably thought that their city gates were very strong, so they didn't pay much attention to the Kussets.Their main defensive force is still sticking to the northern main city wall, and many people have joined the city defense force, which invisibly increases the difficulty of the Kusaites' attack.

In fact, in addition to the support of the hundred archers brought up by Faron at the earliest, hundreds of ordinary people were helping to throw stones and splash hot water and boiling oil on the gate tower.

Bo Luji was very angry and sent someone to scold Katong severely.He asked Kadong to increase the number of attackers, and restricted him to make an effective attack before dawn, forcing the enemy to draw troops from the city wall to support.

"My lord, there are many people guarding the city gate. As soon as we approach, long arrows, stones, hot water and boiling oil will pour down. In such a narrow space, it is difficult for us to escape the enemy's attack , The loss is too serious." Katong's men said loudly from the side.

"Then what do you say? My boot Suoer" Katong asked angrily.

"The enemy poured a lot of boiling oil down the city, did you see it?" Susuer said, pointing to the city gate in the distance.

Katong waited for his eyes and nodded.

"Several of our crash vehicles were destroyed in the gate, and now they are covered with oil poured from the city by the Caladians. As long as we get close to the gate and shoot rockets into it with a strong bow, it will definitely ignite the fire. Burn If it takes a few hours, no matter whether its gate is made of wood or it is covered with iron nails, it will be completely burned."

Katong looked at him with admiring eyes and just wanted to say a few words of praise, then immediately shook his head and said: "The people of Karad are not fools, he would not send people to pour water from the city to put out the fire."

"We suppressed them with archers for an hour. After an hour, the wood under the city gate had already burned into a big fire. Even if we want to extinguish it, it will take a while. At this time, we will set our own ramming car on fire and hit it , while burning it, to see how long it lasts." Susuer quickly offered advice.

Katong sighed.His own soldiers were too injured, and he was heartbroken.But let them act recklessly again and again, and they will inevitably die.Although Susuer's method is not a good one, at least it will make the scene of the fire look better, and the soldiers should not rush to the city to take risks for the time being.As long as it can reduce casualties, it is a good thing.Bo Luji had no ability to break through the city wall himself, but he sprinkled a bird's breath on us, which is simply deceiving.

Katong acted immediately.

The rocket flew out, drawing beautiful circular arcs in the night sky, and then landed on the messy battlefield below the city gate.The crashing car abandoned in the city gate was immediately ignited, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and then burned blazingly.The Calad soldiers immediately noticed that the sound of yelling filled the entire city gate.Before they could sprinkle water to extinguish the fire, [-] soldiers organized by Katong had lined up and walked into range, aiming at the city gate tower and firing salvo after round.The dense long arrows were running back and forth on the tower, and the Calad soldiers who were about to fight the fire shot down a large area.Many people who helped defend the city also died on the tower with pots full of water, falling down one by one.

Faron heard the commotion outside, and signaled a few guards to go out to see if the enemy had started attacking the gate tower again.The guard walking in the front quickly opened the door, and he saw the sky full of arrows.Before he could shout out, more than a dozen long arrows roared and shot into his body.The guard let out a terrified roar, and was immediately taken back a few steps by the huge inertial force of the long arrow, falling on his back.At the same time, countless long arrows, like iron nails, made a dull and powerful sound, nailing hard on the stone floor of the city wall, on the roof of the city tower, on the pillars, on the windows, on the door leaves, and smashed into the house. On the ground near the door, it bounced up and scattered in all directions.It was as if hailstones were falling on the entire city gate tower, and there was a deafening roar.The remaining guards had sharp eyes and quick hands, and rushed to Faron one by one, erecting a human wall in front of him.

The Calad soldiers knew that letting the fire burn would definitely do damage to the city gate.After the initial panic, they immediately calmed down.Under the cover of the shield soldiers, some soldiers continued to carry water to the city wall, and then the city guards lying on the side of the city wall threw down the water and pots together.Katong led some archers with strong bows and shot burning rockets into the door from time to time.Numerous rockets were nailed to the solid and thick city gate, continuing to burn.

"My lord, I don't have enough arrows." Shusuer ran over and reported immediately.In less than an hour, the stock of long arrows in Kadong has basically been exhausted.

Katong shook his head helplessly, and ordered loudly: "Light up the crash car."

Under the leadership of Kadongdi, a hundred soldiers began to push carts, speed up, and run.This is the 11th time they hit the gate of the city of Odessa.

"Brothers, work harder, come on, kill..." Katong raised his head and shouted loudly.Archers shoot long arrows significantly faster.The Shieldmen cheered loudly, cheering on their comrades.Katong looked at the city gate that was blazing into the sky, looked at the city gate that had started to smoke everywhere, and suddenly a huge hatred that couldn't be restrained rose from the bottom of his heart.It was this broken door that mercilessly devoured the lives of four or five hundred warriors of the Heimoli tribe today.His face contorted violently with anger.He gritted his teeth, wishing he could burn it, destroy it, knock it away.

"Wooho..." Katong shouted with all his strength.

"Wooho..." The soldiers who were running at high speed roared with enthusiasm one by one, following their leader.

"Wooho..." All the Kusaite soldiers downstairs of the city gate were excited and roared.

The crashing car reached the limit speed. Surrounded by a hundred strong men, with a thunderous and invincible aura, it made a huge roar and rushed into the fire with unprecedented strength, crashing into the fire that had been covered by thick smoke. The shrouded city gate.

"Boom..." There was a loud noise.The tower is shaking, the earth is trembling.The thick smoke in the gatehouse was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, scattered and drifted away, the raging fire in the gatehouse, the soaring flames swayed and danced violently in the gust of wind.

Katong and his soldiers suddenly opened their eyes wide, looking at the city gate in disbelief.

Miraculously, the city gate was knocked open a hole, a huge hole.Katong and the soldiers were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes.Then they let out a loud cheer, and ran up, roaring all the way, no longer caring about the arrows shot down from the tower and the stones thrown down.

They braved the scorching heat, stepped on the still burning wood, rushed through the flames, and got into the gap in the city gate that was smashed through.The gate of the city was broken, and a gap, a fatal gap, was inadvertently opened in the city of Odriza.

Behind the city gate, Callard used earth bags to build two barrier walls one person high.The purpose is also to prevent that once the city is broken, it can hinder the charge of the enemy's cavalry and slow down the enemy's attack speed.

The main street under the city wall is full of weapons, stones and other tools for defending the city.Some wounded soldiers and a large number of civilians who were busy on this street uttered a frightening cry of terror as if they had seen a devil.

Kusset soldiers began to file into the city of Odrisa through the big hole, and then climbed over the roadblock composed of two obstacles.Karad soldiers began to shoot at Kusait nearby, and some people fled in all directions, and more people chose to take up arms and join in the battle against the invaders.

Katong raised his sword and beheaded a Karad soldier holding a sword. Then he waved his sword and slammed several long arrows away to cover his subordinates over obstacles.In a blink of an eye, twenty or thirty wolf-like men rushed out of the barricade and formed a defensive formation.

The swarms of Karad soldiers and the people of Odriza City with weapons immediately launched an attack on them.

Faron was taken aback when he heard the news, and immediately ordered drums to beating to call the police, and at the same time sent someone to ask the defenders on the city wall to extend their line of defense to the gate tower.Faron led fifty soldiers down the tower at the fastest speed.

The bow and arrow troops of the Heimoli tribe outside the city gate immediately followed up quickly, and some of them stopped 40 meters away from the city gate, and continued to shoot on the tower to suppress the counterattack of the Karad soldiers.Under the cover of shield soldiers, some of them approached the city gate and quickly entered the city through the gap.At the same time, the horn player blew the horn to successfully break through.The horn news was passed on one by one by the horn players one after another.

In the dark night, for a while, Cusette's high-pitched and cheerful horns sounded everywhere.

A smile finally appeared on Bo Luji's gloomy face.He happily shouted to the messenger: "Order the troops to take down the northern city wall before dawn."

Under the command of the resounding charging horn, the Kusaites' morale was suddenly boosted, and the momentum of the attack was once again high.When the Cusaite soldiers heard the news that the city gate had been breached, they all became excited. They roared and waved their weapons to their heart's content, like a flood that had broken its embankment. Surge on the city wall.

Faron took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.He held up the battle flag of Karad, held the sword in his hand, and kept shouting: "Follow me to kill the enemy... for Karad, for your homeland, for your relatives, kill..."

The people who were fleeing could not help but stop when they saw their Lord Inspector facing the enemy without fear.They were shocked by Karad's battle flag, inspired by Faron's aura, and moved by Faron's shouts.They turned and followed behind him, the fear in their hearts dissipated with the shouts of killing like a raging tide.

The soldiers of Katong gathered more and more around the gate of the city.More than a dozen soldiers are trying to move the earth bags near the hole in the city gate to make room for more soldiers to come in.On the back of the city gate, which is more than six meters high, from top to bottom, there are fifteen thick bolts inserted horizontally. Without a climbing ladder, there is no way to remove the thick and heavy bolts, and there is no possibility of opening the city gate in a hurry.The place that was smashed by the huge impact was estimated to have been damaged by dozens of repeated collisions that day, and was later burned by fire, and finally became fragile and was hit by the final blow of the car that hit the city. break in.

The centurion of the centurion walking beside Faron let out a roar, and led the soldiers to gallop up. Filled with anger, they slashed at the enemies who were massacring wantonly at the gate of the city without hesitation.The people picked up all kinds of weapons on the ground, and ran after them with hatred for the invaders.

Katong tried his best to kill an enemy soldier, looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards him, the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, because there were too many people on the other side.

The Karad soldiers rushed forward, and there was no need to worry about life and death at this time.To die in battle is to die, and to capture a city is also to die.Everyone let go of their hands and feet, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, completely ignoring the weapons that were cut on their bodies, and all they wanted to do was to kill people, to kill the Kusaites.

Two soldiers surrounded an enemy.The Karad soldiers who faced the enemy head-on let their swords penetrate their bodies, and at the same time, their own swords slashed on the enemy's waist with a roar.Another soldier gritted his teeth, swung his saber round and cut off the enemy's head.

As for ordinary people who have not been trained, when they kill an enemy, they often have to pay the price of several people.But no one flinched. The relatives and neighbors in front fell into a pool of blood, and the people who followed behind roared frantically, and rushed forward one after another.They don't know how to use weapons proficiently, so they hold them with their hands, bite them with their teeth, and use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's steel weapons.On the bloody battlefield, there is only the murderous aura that shakes the sky, only the soldiers who sacrifice their lives, without fear, without crying, and without flinching.

In the narrow space at the gate of the city, hundreds of thousands of people were densely packed, and everyone's anger and hatred were unleashed and erupted.Faron was squeezed to the base of the city wall by the turbulent flow of people, and no one noticed his existence.Even the few guards who had been following him gave up protecting him and killed him at the forefront of the battlefield.He stared dumbfounded at the irrational crowd, and sadly watched one pair after another of brothers, father and son died under the enemy's butcher's knife, and ordinary kind-hearted people fell to the ground one after another.His tears flowed down uncontrollably.

The common people, these respectable and lovely ordinary people, they all stood up without hesitation when Karard needed them most, and gave their blood and lives without complaint or regret.All of a sudden, Faron felt that he really was an incompetent.What has he done for these hardworking and kind people during his tenure as an inspector for more than a year?The people are still poor, and the scourge of war is still endless. Even in the winter that just passed, thousands of people starved to death and froze to death in the ice and snow.

Kadong's subordinate Zusuer regretted it very much now. His idea of ​​burning the city gate had already brought him to the brink of death.He is now trapped in the crowd at the gate of the city.He swung his saber vigorously, intending to cut a bloody path and join the rest of his companions.He had already heard Lord Katong calling him, and the voice was getting closer and closer, as if Katong was coming to meet him.
