The attack occurred shortly after daybreak, and the enemy seemed to suddenly jump out of the darkness.
The soldier in charge of sentry squatted on the wall of the manor and saw a black figure shaking not far away. He casually fired an arrow, and screams responded to him.
This scream was a signal, and more figures jumped out of the hazy mist, and even knights on horseback sprinted out to kill them. The sentry could only scream loudly, calling for his companions to come to help.
Around dawn is the time when the sentry's vigilance is at its worst. There were too many recruits in the fifth action team, and their response was more than half a beat slower after hearing the call. Seeing that the wall could not be defended, the leading officer rushed out from the main castle of the manor and shouted
Our own personnel retreat.
The villages and towns in the North are all fortress-like, consisting of fortresses and walls. Even a dilapidated knight built a wooden castle in his manor that served as both accommodation and defense.
Food and drinking water for at least five or six days were stored in the wooden castle, and narrow and strong perforations and observation windows were built. The simple houses around the wooden castle were where the slaves lived, and they were facilities that could be abandoned at any time.
Lorraine was a rare civil servant who could write and lived on the second floor of the wooden castle. When she heard the warning call, she immediately got up and looked out the window.
The window in the room was only as big as a human head, but as far as the eye could see, at least dozens of figures were attacking outside the manor. The enemy came too suddenly, and there were so many people, like locusts.
"Holy Light, this is Eve Lorraine. My fifth action team was attacked at Target Manor No. 18. There are many enemies. We have abandoned the outer walls and retreated to the main fort. Please support."
Lorraine grabbed some clothes and put them on, grabbed a short knife for self-defense from the bedside, rushed out of the room, and went down the stairs to the ground floor.
The ground floor of the main castle is the main living room. The sentries withdrew from the outside and the main force of the action team climbed up. The leading officer grabbed a sword and stood at the door and shouted: "Don't panic, the Holy Light is with us. Hold on for one meal."
, support will come."
When encountering a surprise attack, the will of the resisters is the key. It is extremely necessary for the soldiers to understand that they are not in a desperate situation. Sophia's communication limit is 2,500 people, but at this moment she will focus on Lorraine's fifth action team.
When the little girl's sweet voice directly entered the brain, the panic situation of the Fifth Action Team was quickly controlled. Dozens of people were either calm or panicked, and a large amount of information was directly summarized to Sophia. The little girl comprehensively evaluated the information and then fed it back to them
.
Lorraine quickly received instructions from the Holy Light that civilian personnel should not directly intervene in the battle. He organized the second-line personnel in the team to act as logistics, found the medical boxes, opened up a safe zone, and prepared to receive the wounded.
The officer leading the team also received information from the Holy Light and based on the feedback from the sentry, the enemy surrounded your manor from all sides, with no less than two hundred people. It would take an hour at the fastest for support to arrive, and we were ready to fight a tough battle.
The personnel were gathered together, and there was basically no loss. The main castle of the manor was small, and a few dozen troops were enough. The door to the living room on the ground floor was blocked, and the infantrymen guarded the windows on the ground floor. The leading officer climbed to the top of the third floor of the main castle and took control of the overall situation.
.
Facing the enemy attack, everyone was very panicked and nervous. However, the presence of key veterans played a very important role model, and the messages sent by Sophia through the Internet allowed the team to maintain basic combat effectiveness.
Looking out from the attic on the top floor with the help of the gray sky, there were far more than two hundred enemies outside the manor's walls. Lorraine looked out from the window on the second floor and was so frightened that she almost screamed.
The enemies, under the banner of the Long Legs of Cold Wind City, numbered more than 500. It was obviously a premeditated and organized noble counterattack. They were by no means temporarily targeting the Fifth Action Team, but carefully selected their targets.
Lorraine was reporting his findings to the Holy Light when he heard chaotic footsteps and breathing coming from the bottom floor. A dozen infantrymen took apart the metal heavy crossbow that had been used yesterday and prepared to carry it to the third floor attic.
According to the field operation regulations formulated by Zhou Qingfeng, the leading officer must store the combat preparation materials carried by the action team in a strong fortress. Carriages and horses can be left outside, but weapons and ammunition must be loaded and unloaded.
The new recruits of the action team originally thought that this rule was too tiring, and it was troublesome to have to carry these heavy equipment every time they camped. But now the rules and regulations ensure that they can fight back in the face of surprise attacks and sieges.
It still took some time to transport the metal heavy crossbows to the attic, but the soldiers on the ground floor took out the light crossbows they were equipped with. The wooden boxes carrying the arrows were violently broken open, and the infantry distributed the bundled arrows to each fighting position.
Two soldiers stood behind each perforation on the first floor, taking turns loading and shooting. When the ground floor was full, every window on the second floor was also used. Even reserve personnel such as Lorraine were equipped with crossbows and crossbows.
Ammunition, ready to go at any time.
When all these preparations were made, the attacking enemy only occupied the wall but failed to coordinate the attack. The opponent's dillydallying attitude boosted the morale of the action team. Lorraine also took out bottles of physical potions from the logistics box and sent them to him one after another.
To the soldiers.
After taking a sip of the stamina potion, a guard veteran cursed out of habit, and his face quickly turned red. He laughed a few times, smashed the empty wooden bottle on the ground, and shouted cheeringly, "Enough!
I just like the spiciness."
Zhou Qingfeng used hidden servants as free labor, and his most abundant alchemy product was the potion for physical strength. The spiciness in the potion that was difficult to remove became a sign that those with this smell were the best products.
After drinking the potion, all the officers and soldiers in the action team felt refreshed to keep out the cold.
Outside the manor, hundreds of serfs were running around in panic. More than a dozen groups of fleeing nobles from Coldwind City got together and decided to work together to get rid of a team of untouchables.
This was an all-out battle. In just one night, they managed to assemble a force that far exceeded that of the action team. They also used the environment to launch a surprise attack. The start of the battle was perfect.
Outside the team, the tall figure of Johnson Dou Ruixing was hidden in the mist. He spent a day sending his children everywhere to contact, either produce or seduce, and gathered a team of more than 600 people, who gathered by maneuver in the night.
.
This was simply a miraculous mission. All the nobles who contacted them tried their best to participate in the battle and brought out all the troops they could bring. There were no accidents during the entire gathering, and all troops arrived safely.
Perhaps they were forced to the point of no return by Zhou Qingfeng's cruel methods, or perhaps the honor of the nobles forced them to use all their strength. As more troops were gathered, the morale of the nobles to fight back surged like flames.
They finally generously fed all their attendants and slaves, and offered a high reward as an incentive. Every time a pariah soldier was killed, the reward was one gold coin, and the reward for killing the leader was doubled.
The slaves only knew that their masters suddenly became extremely generous. Many people were exempted from debts and taxes, as long as they marched forward bravely in the battle. If they could perform meritorious services, they might be rewarded with gifts such as redeeming their wives and daughters.
A few lucky slaves climbed onto the wall first, and their master immediately announced that they would be granted civilian status and allowed them to live a normal life.
The other attendants and serfs who participated in the battle were extremely jealous when they saw the gold coins handed out. They grabbed their swords or dung forks and screamed excitedly, mainly because there were so many people on the noble side and they were so crowded, which brought inexplicable confidence.
Johnson turned back to his second daughter and said: "Cast a spell on those cannon fodders to make them braver and rush in at once. As long as we continue to kill the untouchable team, Victor Hugo will definitely take action, and our Kelly voters will follow him."
"
Hahahaha, the dozen or so people in the Duo Ruixing family all laughed sinisterly.
