Jiawen immediately saw through the opponent's tactics. The enemy wanted the fearless to rush to the city first and disrupt the defense arrangement.
After listening to Jiawen's tactical explanation, Reggie sighed: "What a waste."
Jiawen looked at Reggie in confusion and asked, "What was wasted?"
"So many soldiers were wasted." After so many days of war preparation, Reggie deeply realized the importance of population. No matter how good your resources are, how good your strategy is, how advanced your scientific ideas are, without population, everything will be lost.
It's all just empty talk.
The enemy army was about to advance, but Jiawen didn't think of a good strategy to deal with it.
"Are we going to be the first to use black powder? I don't think this is a..."
"This is indeed not a good idea," this time, Reggie took the lead in responding, "Don't use black powder for the time being, and do it according to the enemy's ideas first."
"According to...the enemy's idea?" Jiawen could hardly believe his ears.
"If the enemy wants rolling logs and cobblestones, then give him logs and cobblestones. Didn't you collect a lot of them?" Reggie looked at the Dauntless who were ready to go, and then ordered, "Tell the soldiers to shoot more accurately.
This should be their most proficient tactic. There is no need to skimp on weapons. Throw down all the stones. In addition, pay attention to the timing of retreat. If they see that they are about to charge, the soldiers will immediately withdraw to the city."
…
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Sophia could vaguely see Reggie's shadow. To be honest, she didn't want to face Reggie.
After the war is over, will this crazy lord still be alive?
If he was still alive, should he return the favor and let him live?
Sophia gave the order to attack, the sound of war drums sounded, and the fearless people rushed madly along the mountain road.
The equipment of the fearless ones is very simple. A scimitar and a shield that can barely protect their chest are all their weapons.
They didn't even wear armor, everything was to ensure the speed of their charge. Of course, Nehruv didn't want to waste equipment on death squads.
As Nehruv expected, the opponent threw a rolling stone, and the fearless people instantly fell into a pool of blood. The fearless people did not let Nehruv down. Facing the huge rolling stone and the corpses of their companions, they did not hesitate at all.
, and continued to rush towards the city wall crazily.
The consumption of cobblestones and rolling logs is astonishing. According to Jarvan's orders, before the enemy rushes to the city wall, the soldiers can throw them as much as they want without making any reservations.
The casualties among the fearless were also staggering. After rushing to two-thirds of the mountain road, only less than 200 of the 500 fearless were left.
Seeing that the cobblestones and logs were exhausted, Jarvan gave the order to withdraw his troops.
All the soldiers retreated into the city and closed the city gates.
There were no boulders or rolling logs, and there was not even an archer to block them. The fearless people rushed under the city wall. The whole process was so smooth that it even made them feel a little embarrassed.
These fearless men had no siege weapons, so they could only hack down the city gates with scimitars or try to climb the walls with their bare hands.
"It's ridiculous!" Looking at Reggie's cowardly performance, Salah held his forehead and sighed, "How could Prince Sean lose to these idiots and these hopeless cowards?"
"I have long said that His Royal Highness the Prince should not lead troops in war. He should hug the girl and enjoy himself in bed, instead of letting so many outstanding soldiers be killed by his own slander!" Nehruv ordered the cavalry to attack.
.Two thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the city wall carrying fifty pounds of black powder each.
They have two tasks. The first task is to clear out the enemies outside the city. This task seems to be meaningless as the enemies have all retreated into the city.
The second task was to destroy the enemy's city wall. Nehruv didn't like trebuchets. In his opinion, the low hit rate was a waste of black powder.
He likes to pile black powder under the enemy's city and have the cavalry personally light it on fire to completely blow up the enemy's wall.
When the cavalry rushed through the mountainside, they encountered a speed bump. They couldn't see these raised obstacles clearly at the bottom of the mountain, but when they got closer, the cavalry felt an obvious obstacle.
Horse hooves stumbled on the mountain road, and some cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground, being mercilessly trampled into mud by the horses behind them.
The cavalry on the mountain road became more and more crowded, and the traffic jam became more and more obvious. Nehruv at the foot of the mountain was not sure what was going on. Salah also felt strange. He half-jokingly asked: "Your cavalry
What's wrong? Is it cowardice?"
"Cowardice? There is no need to fight anymore, my friend," Nehruv smiled calmly, "The hillside is a bit steep, and the snow and stones are also very sharp. The cavalry in front does not dare to go too fast. This is nothing surprising.
, and this is not my cavalry. My infantry shield soldiers and archers have not yet attacked. These are the trash sent by the small lords. They have never seen Shattered Snow City. How can you expect them to behave well?
How good is that?”
"Shattering Snow City is really a good city," Salah lamented. "It's a pity that such a good city fell into the hands of a fool."
They were still chatting at the foot of the mountain, and the last wave of cavalry had already passed halfway up the mountain.
Reggie gave the order to attack Roland Field. Roland had been promoted to the commander of the bombing battalion. He ordered the soldiers to light the fuse, and twenty iron barrel bombs flew towards the mountain road together.
"What is this? A trebuchet?" Nekhruf laughed, "Don't he know how to use a trebuchet? What can such a small stone do? Can it fight mosquitoes?"
Sophia didn't smile, and neither did Salah. A sense of foreboding enveloped their hearts.
There was a loud noise, a burst of black smoke, and the broken corpses flew into the sky.
Loud noises came one after another, and the blasted flesh and blood continued to surge in the air.
"What is this? Black powder?" Nehru opened his mouth wide. His horse was frightened and he almost fell off the horse.
"How come he has anti-fans? Did he get it from the prince?" The shocked Salah quickly asked the soldiers to retreat, and the terrible premonition came true.
The cavalrymen who had been bloodbathed were in a mess. The cavalrymen who rushed in front wanted to retreat, but the cavalrymen who stayed behind had no time to turn their horses. The cavalrymen huddled together on the mountain road, like fresh meat next to a meat grinder.
The meat was blown into pieces one after another.
Of course, this also included some unexpected surprises. Even Reggie did not expect that these cavalrymen also carried a lot of black powder from the Bayer Kingdom. Although the power of the explosion was very poor, it also had the icing on the cake effect.
Each iron barrel contains twenty pounds of gunpowder, and twenty trebuchets can throw four hundred pounds of gunpowder each time. Roland led the soldiers to throw five times in total. Two thousand pounds of gunpowder turned the entire mountain road into a river of blood.
.
After the black smoke cleared, only a few cavalry escaped from purgatory. The shocked Sophia looked up at Reggie at the top of the city. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could smell the suffocating murderous aura under his figure.
There are more than a hundred death squads under the city. This is really a great irony. These fearless people who committed suicide have become the lucky ones who survive to the end.
Reggie decided to give them a chance to survive. He took out a smaller hourglass and gave these fearless people one minute to escape.
Some fearless people woke up and rushed down the mountain road with all their strength.
Some fearless people stood at the gate of the city at a loss, while others continued to hack at the city gate with their scimitars.
These poor people didn't know that they had already lost their lives.
Reggie looked back at Jiawen and said calmly: "Let our grenades appear."
