The offensive and defensive battle between the horse-breeding army led by Baron Er and the guards led by Tim of Musen City has reached the most critical moment.
After getting the suggestion from his subordinate Buri, Baron Er called all the carpenters in the territory overnight and worked overtime to make more than a dozen long ladders more than ten meters long. In order to make these long ladders, Baron Er even
The grove next to the camp was cleared.
Just after dawn, Baron Er ordered an attack on Musen City. The cavalry also dismounted and followed the infantry to transport more than a dozen long ladders to the wall of Musen City and set one end of the wooden ladder away from the city.
As soon as the wooden ladder was set up at the first meter, the soldiers below began to climb up the ladder.
"Kill! Kill..." There was a roar from under the city wall, and soldiers moved forward bravely, quickly climbing up the ladder, trying to climb to the top of the city.
With the help of the ladder, Baron Er and Buri, who were low-level knights, easily climbed to the top of the city.
Tim led the guards on the city wall. When he saw the horse-breeding warrior approaching the city wall with a novel long ladder, he knew something was wrong.
Unfortunately, the Musen City guards had no long-range attacks at all, and could only watch helplessly as the warriors of the Yangma Leader leaned the long ladder against the city wall.
Since the front end of the long ladder led by Yang Ma is one meter away from the city head, the guards on the city head can't touch it at all, let alone overturn the ladder. In order to resist the Yang Ma leader who is slowly approaching the city head.
The horse-led warriors and the guards at the top of the city could only throw down the stones stored on the city wall, trying to knock the horse-led warriors down the long ladder.
"Hold it! Don't let them come up!" Tim stabbed the horse-breeding warrior one meter away from the top of the city with a knight's gun, and kept giving orders to the guards on the city wall.
"Ah! Ah..."
"Boom!"
As the city wall guards blocked the attack, some of the horse-breeding warriors were knocked down, and there were bursts of screams from under the city wall.
Unfortunately, the short-lived advantage of the Musen City guards came to an abrupt end after the horse-breeding leaders, Baron Er and Buri, successfully climbed onto the city wall. The two low-level knights were like two humanoid beasts, facing the guards on the city wall.
An attack was launched. It is worth mentioning that the two hundred warriors given to Tim by Baron Jean were all infantry and could not withstand the massacre of two low-level knights.
Knight Tim on the side also reacted and hurriedly blocked the two men. Unfortunately, Tim was weak soon after becoming a low-level knight, not to mention that he was now facing the siege of two knights. Danger was everywhere for a while.
Under the human offensive, they were retreating steadily.
The city wall guards who were dispersed had no time to stop the horse-raising warriors who climbed up. More and more horse-raising warriors slowly climbed up the city wall. The Musen City guards did not have an advantage in quantity or strength and fell into a trap.
Under the siege of horse-led warriors.
At this time, at the foot of a low slope very close to Musen City, more than 500 cavalrymen led by Antonio of the Qinghuang Knights were on standby.
As for the battle losses of the previous three squadrons, they were replaced by cavalry selected from the 6, 7, and 8 squadrons after returning to Qinghuang Territory.
Not long ago, Antonio led the Qinghuang Knights to take the lead in capturing the Yangma Town in the Yangma Territory. In just a few minutes, the Yangma Fort fell to the Qinghuang Knights' offensive, and the Abel family in the Yangma Town was slaughtered.
, all the guards died in the battle, and now the only person left in the Abel family is Baron Er, who is still outside Musen City.
After capturing the Horse-Raising Territory, Antonio only sent a few cavalry to garrison the Horse-Raising Territory, and then he led the Qinghuang Knights to the vicinity of Musen City without stopping, preparing to annihilate the Horse-Raising Territory army and occupy Musen City.
A cavalryman returned after being sent for reconnaissance. He quickly came to the front of the team and reported to Antonio who was sitting on his horse.
"Sir! Now the two parties are already fighting on the south wall, but the gate to the north has been opened privately by some wealthy businessmen, probably wanting to temporarily escape from Musen City." The cavalry reported truthfully.
Due to the geographical location of the Yangma Leader and Musen City, the first place the Yangma Leader's army came to was the south gate of Musen City. Naturally, the Yangma Leader attacked Musen City from the south, and the other three sides were not considered.
, this also caused the Tim Knights to put all their guarding power on the south city wall, so that the other three city walls had very little guarding power.
After observing the fighting on the city wall, the wealthy businessmen in the city decisively opened the north city gate, hoping to escape from Musen City first to avoid being affected. Of course, the strength of these wealthy businessmen is not weak. Although they are not as powerful as the barons, they are
They also hired a lot of guards and mercenaries, which is why they were able to open the North City Gate easily.
"Detour, first go to the north of Musen City, enter Musen City from the north city gate, hurry up! Let's go!" Antonio turned the horse's head and said quickly.
As Antonio's order was issued, the Qinghuang Knights followed suit and ran towards the north of Musen City. Musen City was not as big as the city of later generations. After some distance, it didn't take long for the Qinghuang Knights to arrive at Musen City.
North of Sencheng.
To the north of Musen City, a large number of convoys are slowly leaving Musen City. The carriages are piled with batches of goods and wealth. These are the carriages of the wealthy merchants of Musen City.
After hearing the news, a large group of civilians in the city also wanted to escape from Musen City, causing the city gate to be crowded. In order for the city gate to be unobstructed so that their own convoy could pass smoothly, the wealthy businessmen asked their own guards and hired
The mercenaries blocked the civilians on the side of the road to ensure the smooth flow of the road. For a moment, curses and quarrels could be heard, and some civilians began to attack the guards.
"Quick! Let's go!" The wealthy businessman Bazel moved his fat body, stretched out his fat head from the horse, and yelled at the groom driving the carriage.
The same is true for other wealthy businessmen. In order to get their convoys out as early as possible, they are urging the grooms and scolding the guards to drive out the civilians who are pushing past.
The heavy cargo and wealth seriously slowed down the carriage's speed. The first carriage was not even two hundred meters out of the city when it was bumped into by the Qinghuang Knights. The entire convoy was surrounded by the Qinghuang Cavalry.
The wealthy businessmen were also startled by the heavily armed Qinghuang cavalry that surrounded them. The noisy convoy fell silent for a moment, and they all looked at this group of cavalry with unknown origins in fear.
"It's the cavalry of the Qinghuang Territory!" Bazel, who was behind, was shocked.
He once had the honor to see the Qinghuang Cavalry from a distance, uniformly wearing black leather armor, spears and unknown weapons on their backs. There was also an iron sword hanging on their waists. They were majestic and gave people an unstoppable momentum.
, now that he saw it, Bazel recalled it.
"Tony! Take your fifth squadron and watch these guys. Don't let any of them go. The others will follow me into the city."
"Yes! Captain!" Tony replied.
After leaving Tony and his fifth squadron behind, Antonio quickly entered Mussen City with the other four squadrons.
