Lord of the Oasis

Kant's face was solemn.

Looking at the army formation that was slowly pressing forward, he just said solemnly, "Quicker."

"But..." Fatis wanted to dissuade.

But Kant said solemnly: "Follow the order, hurry up!"

"Follow your orders." Fatis gritted his teeth.

With extreme seriousness on his face, he looked at Kant's back, but without any hesitation, he turned and walked down the city wall quickly, running towards the open space where the heavy cavalry group was located.

This is a critical time.

Nor is it the time to hesitate.

The cavalry in the clearing were all on standby.

Fatis Lisso got on his horse, tightened the reins, watched these cavalrymen silently watching his eyes, drew out his knightly sword, and loudly ordered to the east gate: "All cavalry, come with me!"

The rumbling of hooves sounded, and the heavy cavalry of the "Drehem" fortress quickly moved along the street.

Peasant women armed with pitchforks and kitchen knives are guarding the southern city gate.

Seeing Fatis leading the horses, they immediately opened the city gate and let these heavy cavalry and light cavalry file out, quickly lined up in the flat desert outside the city gate, and charged in a heavy phalanx-like group. formation.

But they didn't charge, they just stayed put.

Fatis is waiting.

This is the plan he agreed with Kant. Although it has not been stated clearly, both of them understand it.

It is impractical to defend the city wall and take advantage of the geographical advantage brought by the city wall to keep the attacking enemies out. This idea is unrealistic, or it is impossible to achieve, and the pressure on the city wall can only be relieved by external support. The cavalry troops led by Fatis were such external support.

The cavalry could not be stationed on the city wall, because they were the strongest with war horses.

But without the protection of the city wall, with the help of high mobility, a sudden charge to the enemy at a critical juncture, the effect is no less than the effect of dismounting the city wall.

Even better for defending the city!

The defense of the city is often not completely dependent on the city wall to defend.

The defensive fortress itself is on the strategic defensive. If even the outside of the city wall is lost, it means that even the tactical initiative will be handed over to others.

This is why Kant let Phatis lead the cavalry unit away.

There is another reason.

That's the city wall... can't stop the attack of the gnolls!

The meter-high stone city wall and the meter-high reinforced attic seem to be meters high, but in the actual battle, as long as those gnolls come to the meter-high stone city wall, they can climb over the windows of the reinforced attic and enter directly. In the attic of the city wall, they used their two-handed tomahawks to slash and kill, and there was no need to climb up the meter-high attic, and then jumped into the fortress.

Bowmen's arrows are not muskets, and a single bullet can incapacitate the enemy.

In the era of cold weapon warfare.

As long as the arrow didn't hit the key point, the whole body was shot like a hedgehog and was still fighting desperately, which was completely normal.

Fortunately, the Swadian militiaman at the top of the attic has piled up all the stones obtained by pulling out the fence at his feet. As long as the enemy approaches, the stones are smashed down, and they can also resist a lot of damage. time.

As long as the attack of the Gnoll Expeditionary Force is restrained, and with the arrow rain with the bowmen, they can kill as many enemy troops as possible, reduce the vitality of this siege force, and weaken their offensive ability!

Just behind the city gate, behind the Swadian infantry, a golden lion with a red background was standing in the middle of the street.

No wind automatic, fluttering hunting sound!

"It's up to you." Kant slowly exhaled a sullen breath caused by tension.

This flag is his most useful war item at present!

"Meter!"

The Ravenston Ranger opened his mouth and reported the distance between the enemy and the city wall.

At the same time, the ranger pulled out a cone-headed arrow from the quiver, and pulled the white heavy bow in his hand directly with both arms, pointing it far away, without waiting for an order.

They let go of their fingers directly, the bowstring slammed softly, and the brown conical arrow disappeared in an instant, only to see that in the distant space, an untraceable black spot was swiftly swept across the arc, appearing in the meter outside.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The arrow is tearing the air, and the shaft of the arrow shakes slightly to bring more force.

The gnoll warriors who rushed in front seemed to hear something, and their ears shook slightly, but when they raised their heads slightly, a black spot instantly appeared in their eyes, and then it became bigger and bigger, occupying almost the entire field of vision.

"puff--"

Then the salt mines disappeared, and the brown feathers on the arrow tail were still swaying with the trembling of the arrow shaft.

But not only did it fall alone, there was also an arrow in the front of the gnoll warrior, who let out a low and weak roar, and fell to the ground with his legs staggered, but he didn't fall down completely.

The gnoll behind him growled and supported their bodies.

But not friendship.

And right on the city wall, in the eyes of Kant and the others, the gnoll who was shot in the eye socket was directly lifted up by their companions, just like a shield, lying in front of them, blocking the arrows that might appear.

In the cruel battlefield, if you want to survive, you have to use the corpses of your own companions.

No one thought it was cruelty.

Now it is the best choice for these gnolls who do not have shields and can only rely on this method to resist the rain of arrows. Even the gnolls who continue to be shot dead and wounded by the Ravenston Ranger, who cannot continue to participate in the battle at all, will not be able to participate in the battle at all. Don't care about being lifted up to be a ** shield.

In their view, they are also honored to resist damage for their companions, which is creating a future of victory!

"Meter!"

There are Vicya archers shouting.

Now that they were within their range, the longbow in their hand suddenly opened, and the feather arrow in their hand was shot out. There was no need to aim at all, because a large force consisting of only gnolls had already filled a large area.

Just shoot it out, you can hit 100%!

The sound of the "whoosh" arrows kept going, and the "hum" sound of the bowstring vibrating filled the entire attic and the arrow tower.

Meter!

The Swadian crossbowman began to fire, pulling the trigger to fire the iron bolt.

The whizzing sound is endless.

M, the Swadian militias also joined the shooting!

The rain of arrows is even more pouring.

Each wave will take the lives of more than a dozen gnolls, as well as the minor and serious injuries of dozens of people.

The scream of the arrows shreds the air, and death spreads among those gnolls. Anytime, anywhere, there are gnolls staggering and falling due to arrows, but more often, they are carried by their companions behind them. Since then, it has become a ready-made human shield.

The gnoll corpse held high above his head effectively blocked the dense rain of arrows.

Corpses are not afraid of feathered arrows, like shields that are extremely effective.

And finally at the front, those gnolls got closer and closer to the city wall, and finally came to the city wall, revealing bloodshot and bloody eyes, roaring and keeping the corpse full of arrows on the top of the head, and then he actually directly Kneeling down under the city wall, like a ladder, let the gnolls behind you step on you and climb up!

Just like the human shield before.

Now these front gnolls are willing to serve as human siege ladders!

ps: I recommend a fine book, "The Thief of the Movie World", which can be happily slaughtered with more than two million words. The author is said to be the legendary seven fleas, oh no, seven fleas.
