"Magic crystal! Who still has magic crystal! Bring it over!"
…
Rapid shouts came one after another on the walls of the bastion. The air seemed to be filled with blood, and every breath he took seemed to be soaked in blood.
"Crazy." Gerhard was a little scared. Even though he had experienced many battles in his early years, he was still deeply shocked by the Danma sergeants who were not afraid of death.
It was fine in the morning, and the enemy just used conventional tactics to try to consume the defenders' strength, but at noon, they suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Now there is no room for any strategy on the battlefield.
The trench outside the bastion has been filled with corpses, and the mortar shells will even get stuck between the corpses when they fall on the ground, causing the trigger fuse to fail. They will not explode until the delay fuse originally used to avoid stink bombs works.
The attacking side kept using everything that could climb the city wall, including wooden ladders and corpses, to climb up the wall. Now the corpses were piled up to a height difference of nearly two meters from the wall. Many people rushed forward carrying the corpses on the ground. Go up, and eventually you will also increase the height together.
The defenders kept firing at all moving objects below, and the farmers who were just in charge of logistics kept throwing grenades at crowded places.
The riflemen kept pulling the triggers. Many of them had swollen index fingers and could only use their middle fingers to shoot.
The mortar shells brought by Bruce were quickly reduced to the last remaining emergency use, but they also destroyed most of the enemy's cans.
Now they simply beveled the wooden poles used to support the tents and punched them into the cannon barrels to use as javelins. A piece of the javelin could kill some people.
On the wall, Archduke Byrne sat on the ground panting, so tired that his tongue was about to stick out.
The Grand Duke of Mainz next to him was even worse, with a wound on his left cheek.
"Unexpectedly..." the Grand Duke of Mainz said triumphantly, "I am eighty years old and still have wounds on the battlefield. I think you will definitely pee on your feet when you are eighty years old and don't have to be supported."
Archduke Byrne didn't want to talk, he was just a few years younger than him.
Just now, the Danma Army organized a commando team composed entirely of experts to climb the wall. After being killed by a triple pea gun guard in a corner, they finally climbed onto the city wall. At this time, the shooter of the pea gun fired the grenade belt. Several people left, buying time for the two big guys to lead the team to plug the gap.
Archduke Byrne took his breath and said, "It seems that Flensburg has succeeded."
The Archduke of Mainz nodded.
Gerhard was stunned after hearing this, and immediately figured out what was going on.
Flensburg is located in the north of Hanma City, in the middle of the Cimbrica Peninsula, and in the south of the Kingdom of Danma. It is an important transportation hub.
The capture of Flensburg meant that the road access of the Danma Army was cut off. They had no way of retreat and could only seize a place as a stronghold, otherwise the coming winter would be able to deal with them.
"Who did it?" Gerhard asked, "Do we have extra troops?"
Grand Duke Bain smiled and said: "Royal Mage Group."
The Archduke of Mainz also said: "That little Friedrich, when he asked for help from the country, he said that all tactics would be to steal, and let the royal mages steal the enemy's important cities. Even if they did not occupy them, they could mobilize the enemy to return their troops. Rescue.”
Archduke Byrne said angrily: "Now that's good, all the enemies have fallen to us."
The Grand Duke of Mainz thought for a moment and asked, "Can they move?"
Grand Duke Byrne looked up at the sky and said, "Maybe at dusk."
Gerhard asked in surprise: "Are there any troops left to fight?"
"Of course." Archduke Byrne smiled again, "Why else would Count Delden organize a knightly competition?"
Gerhard's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Is this also planned?"
At first, he thought that the defenders were unlucky. The enemy came when the main knights were gathering and playing far away. He did not expect that this was something that was planned.
"Can you make it?" He was a little worried.
Archduke Byrne replied calmly: "Frederick said he can catch up."
At the same time, in a forest two kilometers east of the bastion, several people with large pieces of bark pinned to their bodies were carefully observing the battlefield situation with telescopes.
In the woods below, heavily armed knights were feeding their horses candy and the like, and there were nearly 20,000 infantrymen beside them.
In the tree, Count Delden quietly calculated the remaining strength of the Danma army and the route to be taken.
The main force of the Danma army is in the north, and the strength in the east and south is slightly weaker. If the army in the south is defeated first, the defeated troops can be driven to break up the army formations in the east and north.
The Knights Athletic Conference is still going on, but the participants are all nobles from the west bank of the Elbe River. Some of them pretend to be contestants, and some of them follow Earl Delden across the river and bypass the large army of the Kingdom of Piast.
The camp ran here.
Thanks to the bearings exported from Weissensee, which were widely used in horse-drawn carriages, this detour was successful after a large number of horse-drawn carriages were recruited.
The Earl of Delden is about to watch the enemy, and he is expected to be in a dilemma near dusk, and then Archduke Byrne will send a signal.
"[Country expletive]!"
Earl Delden suddenly cursed, then lowered his head and shouted: "Quick! Attack immediately!"
At the top of the bastion wall, Archduke Byrne and others heard the sound of military bugles in the distance.
I saw a group of more than 300 cavalry suddenly rush out from the north, led by a winged unicorn, flying a golden double-headed eagle flag, and crashed into the enemy headquarters behind the Danma army.
Location.
They didn't just crash into them. Everyone emptied at least two magazines before rushing into the enemy's position, and even threw poison gas bombs into the wind.
"Why is he here?! And he's coming from the north?" The Grand Duke of Mainz looked confused, "Has the fight in the south been finished?"
Archduke Byrne scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Didn't he say he was planning an ambush? Maybe the cavalry wouldn't be needed, so he would come here himself."
"That's good. We can free up our hands to help him there."
The Danma Army was not so calm. A group of people suddenly died in the rear amidst the sound of military bugles. When they turned around, they found a sheet of white smoke in front of them. As soon as they inhaled it, they kept coughing.
Before they could get into formation, a group of cavalrymen in gray military uniforms rushed out of the smoke. They, including both men and horses, all had big eyes and long noses.
The deeds of Wesson's Army were rumored to be miraculous, and what happened in Amstel not long ago seemed to confirm that they were not humans but devils.
With Amstel's developed maritime transportation, the news quickly spread along the North Sea coast.
The first military formation of the Danma Army was quickly defeated, and the rout suddenly caused the second line of defense, which was a little frightened by the legend, to collapse.
Frederick led three cavalry companies like a steel knife cutting into tofu without any hindrance.
On the side of the Danma Army, a middle-aged man wearing gilded plate armor saw that the opponent was coming towards him, and immediately led a group of well-equipped cavalry and rushed over with a flag.
"[Expletive language from the Principality of Xibain]!"
Archduke Byrne yelled and cursed when he saw the flag that appeared for the first time through the telescope.
"It's Valdemar! The king of the Kingdom of Danmar!! And his knights!!!" He was shocked and angry, "Why is there no news before?! I thought it was some marshal!"
After being surprised, the Grand Duke of Mainz said calmly: "No wonder why they were able to kill people. It turned out to be him who was commanding. Frederick is in trouble. I hope he can run away when he sees the situation is wrong."
They had heard a lot of rumors about King Valdemar of the Kingdom of Danma in the south. Despite the exaggerated parts, they could still see that he was an undefeated general who had experienced many battles and was also a great master in his own right.
Waldemar rode on a war horse and led his battle-experienced comrades to rush towards Frederick and others.
At this time, his heart was very peaceful. He had faced desperate situations several times over the years, but in the end he was the winner, so he had no doubt that this time would be the same as before.
At the same time, he was also a little curious, and was quite happy after hearing about Duke Wesson's deeds for the first time, because he also lost his father when he was a boy. After that, he lost a lot of land, and in the end, not only did he win it all with the sword in his hand,
Came back and got more.
As a result, he developed a feeling of sympathy and praised Duke Wesson in public many times.
Valdemar thought that maybe he would meet him after the war, so that he could help pay the ransom if he was captured, but he did not expect that the first meeting would be on a life-and-death battlefield.
When he was a hundred meters away, he saw Frederick and others breaking out of the military formation and rushing toward him, and suddenly found that they had taken out a new weapon from behind the saddle.
This new weapon looks like a war hammer, with a long pole and a large head. It looks heavy.
Then Valdemar almost laughed out loud under his helmet, because the warhammer could actually fly, and the one in Duke Wesson's hand even flew towards him.
The flying speed of this thing is faster than an arrow, and Valdemar can even reach out and grasp the short pole behind it.
"It's lighter than I expected." He couldn't help but think, "I'll use this to hit Duke Wesson later..."
At this moment, he suddenly thought that there were many flying things in the bastion that would explode, so this...
The metal jet formed after the shaped charge in the homemade hollow-charge warhead exploded penetrated Waldemar's plate armor and body in an instant, and even burned off the entire tail of the war horse.
Frederick breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the speed of the "Iron Fist" needed to be strengthened, otherwise it would not be effective against masters.
Valdemar fell off his horse, and the knights around him were not much better. Many of them raised their shields to block, but the metal jet still hit them all.
The few remaining knights used their weapons to open the rockets, but the fragments of the explosion and the ensuing bullets still ended their lives.
The king fell, and the Danma army suddenly fell into chaos. With the help of the cavalry company, the chaos quickly expanded.
Frederick jumped off the dawn, picked up the flag on the ground and put it away, then thought about it and took off Waldemar's helmet, sword and ring as trophies.
At this time, Count Delden rushed out of the woods with a large group of troops, which became the last straw that broke the Danma army.
Practice has proven that 30,000 people are easier to catch than 30,000 pigs.
The Archduke of Bain and the Archduke of Mainz found Frederick immediately. The Archduke of Mainz hurriedly asked: "What's going on in the south?"
Frederick said calmly: "It will be solved this morning."
"So fast?!" Archduke Byrne was surprised, "How to solve it?"
