"Erickson, if you are a man, speak out. I swear on the name of my ancestors that I will never let anyone go."
Skullcrusher McGee sneered, "I always thought you were the only one with balls in the whole Bastille? I didn't expect that you would also be castrated at the critical moment. Are the lives of thousands of your brothers not as precious as yours? They are not worthy of you.
Come out and take risks to fight for them?"
This is a typical heart-breaking statement. It makes no sense to tie the life of the Bastille soldier to Ericsson's alone. But now is not the time to be reasonable. The Bastille soldier was blinded by a burst of arrows.
, although the sound of killings was loud in the city, no one knew what the situation was.
City Lord Bolton has not shown up yet, which makes people have to doubt what Skullcrusher McGee said. After all, this attack is abnormal. Bull Eriksson has been hiding and not showing up. Will the Bastille soldiers?
It collapsed on the spot, it's really hard to say.
Not to mention that the Bastille soldiers who had been kept in the dark had no idea, even Bull Eriksen, who was involved in the decision-making from beginning to end, did not necessarily have the same idea.
A dangerous plan such as a sneak attack from a secret passage relies on surprise, plus a little bit of favorable timing, location, and people. Once the victory is won, it will be a brilliant victory.
The enemy's surprise attack on the Bastille was a typical example of this. If someone had known about it in advance, it would have been doomed.
If the enemy they face is still a reckless man like Skullcrusher McGee, Erikson still has more than 60% confidence in the surprise attack on the secret passage.
But now he has become an ignorant Sean Tang. He has no clue at all. How could a person who is good at surprise attacks fail to guard against this?
But the stubborn old Burton was even more stubborn than him and ignored his dissuasion. The two agreed to use fire as a signal. When the inner castle was on fire, he would lead the army to attack on both sides.
As long as one side tears apart the opponent's defense line, the opponent will definitely lose. After all, the opponent is just a temporary force, and it cannot have too strong fighting power, let alone more than 2,000 slaves of its own inside.
These well-raised dogs would never dare to bare their teeth at them.
After fighting for several days, the slave soldiers have not been seen, which is the best proof. Maybe those soldiers are still imprisoned in some corner, lingering, living a more miserable life than under their hands, until they cause chaos
Given the situation, these people might take advantage of the chaos and create more opportunities.
Judging from the prepared posture, the opponent has been prepared for a long time. Perhaps this is a trap, waiting for them to jump into it.
Bull Ericson walked out of the bunker, his thick and short figure very eye-catching on the battlefield, and sneered: "I have no trust in your name and ancestors as the Skull Crusher, but I believe in my brothers, if
If you dare to go back on your word, even if you are made of iron, my brothers will fight you to the end, even if it means breaking your head and bleeding, I will say nothing if you are not dead!"
"Yes!" All the Bastille soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs. Among them were veterans like Gauld. They were very aware of the situation in front of them. If you lose, you must not lose the battle. You must not weaken your momentum. The stronger your momentum, the more powerful your general will be.
The more confidence you have to speak.
Erikson showed a satisfied smile, looked at Skullcrusher McGee on the top of the city and said, "How can you prove that our city lord has fallen into your hands without any proof?"
"No need to prove it!" McGee laughed loudly, "Is it true that others don't know it, but you don't know it? Do you really think how secretive your mouse hole is? We discovered it the day after we took the Bastille.
, I just didn’t make any noise, just waiting for you to get in and catch you all! Did you see that fire? You didn’t set it yourself, it was us. The piles of oil and wood in there are all, it’s called a big fire, no matter what.
No matter how many people come in, they will all turn into roasted wild boar."
Speaking of being happy, Skullcrusher Mikey was dancing and spitting, obviously very proud of himself.
"It's over!"
All the Bastille soldiers groaned in pain.
Compared with those lords and nobles with deep foundations, the time of the Bacher family's rise was ultimately too short.
Old Bolton was too controlling. He always thought that he could live for decades and keep the power firmly in his own hands. Although he had many descendants, he did not cultivate them as early as those noble families with a long history.
his own heir.
Once old Bolton dies, the entire Bachel family will fall apart. Where will they go?
The most terrible thing is that they are now blocked in the mountains of Andis, with no way to advance or retreat. They know very well how deep the hatred between the Bastille and the people of Andis is. Once they fall into the hands of the people of Andis, there will be absolutely no way.
Good times, it is precisely because of this that they stick together and stay together.
"If you don't believe it, you can wait here until the fire is small, and we will see if we can find his body." Skullcrusher Mikey sneered, "I will only give you one night to think about it, and we won't do it before dawn."
Surrender, I will personally lead the troops and kill you all."
Then McGee disappeared from the top of the city, along with his heavily armored barbarian army. However, the Bastille soldiers knew that they did not really disappear, but just sat back down to save energy.
That’s all.
"Damn it, telling a few lies is more tiring than fighting that bull with a real sword."
Skullcrusher Mikey was sweating profusely when he came down from the city. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ralph obviously saw that the other person was a little swaying when he walked.
"How's it going on Tang's side? How long will it take? We've been temporarily intimidated here, but I don't know how long it will last. I'm really unsure of how to defend the city with these new recruits."
If Bull Eriksen knew the situation on the city, he would definitely curse, because they saw that the thickly armored barbarians were real, with at most one hundred guardsmen, and the rest were all faked by the mountain people who stepped on things.
Xibei goods.
As for the heavy arrows that posed a threat to them, they had already been shot empty in the wave just now. They were rushed out in the past few days - the shafts of such heavy arrows are not difficult to make, as long as they have suitable hardwood.
Yes, with a little training, every Andis mountaineer will be a good player.
The problem is the arrows. Half of the power of heavy arrows lies in this armor-piercing arrowhead. However, there is no ready stock. It needs to be made in a furnace. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. More than 10,000 arrows can be produced. This is the result of changing people without changing tools.
Old Burton's analysis was correct. The short time to occupy the Bastille was the fatal weakness of the coalition forces of Sean and the Skullbreaker. Needless to say, if Sean was given two months, with just the few people they had, they would not even be able to touch him.
There was no chance to reach the city wall, and they were shot into a sieve by Andis's long bow and arrow array.
Regardless of the large number of people, it can be said that this is the moment when the city wall's defense is weakest. Bulls Eriksson really led his troops to attack desperately, and the outcome was determined by victory or defeat.
After all, the engineers affiliated with the Youth Army were recruited for too short a period of time, and the long-range shooting was still decent, but the level of close-hand combat was really hard to say. It was not just a matter of hand-to-hand combat ability, but the most important thing was the will to resist.
An army composed of mature slaves who have been enslaved since childhood. After a short period of reorganization and guidance, Sean himself is not sure how strong the will to resist is. This kind of matter involves life and death, and he does not dare to try it easily.
Fortunately, Bull Erikson was frightened by Skullcrusher McGee. It was not because of how good his acting skills were, but because Sean had been working hard during this period, walking ahead of them every step of the way, giving Eric
Sen left an indelible impression.
As soon as they charged, a wave of heavy arrows came down from the other side, which destroyed most of the morale of the Bastille soldiers, and also caused Bull Erikson to enter an inertial thought - they had fallen into a trap again.
Moreover, he has been dealing with Skullcrusher Mikey for so many years, and he knows that the other person is a real fool. Who would have thought that such an honest person would be abducted and deceived? As the saying goes, honest people don't lie to others.
A dead person does not pay for his life.
"It only takes a moment of bluffing. Even if you don't believe us, you still don't believe in your brother's fighting power? By the time that stupid cow reacts, it will be too late!"
Ralph is full of confidence. He is much calmer than McGee. He was the man who dared to sneak into the Bastille with his bare hands. He is not afraid of anyone in terms of courage.
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Skullcrusher McGee became more courageous. He couldn't help but look down at the city. There was still a suffocating silence outside. Bull Eriksson neither chose to attack nor retreat. It was so silent.
Deadlocked.
Ralph grinned and said: "The most taboo thing for a general is hesitation. He advances in one go and retreats in an orderly manner. Such a sticky behavior of neither advancing nor retreating will delay all kinds of fighter opportunities.
Even if we rush forward, it doesn’t matter. At most it’s just a bloody fight. It’s not like we can’t afford it. So much blood has been shed over the years, so we’re not afraid of having another night tonight.”
Skullcrusher Mikey smashed his mouth and said: "I'm not afraid that they will rush up. Those guys below are so scared that they have shrunk their eggs and can't jump around as much as they want. I'm just a little regretful. If my Skullcrusher Army were
, no more, just one school guard, rush outside, what do you think it will be like?"
"It's a huge defeat!" Ralph and McGee laughed loudly together. No matter what the reaction outside the city was, the result was the same - Bolton Batchelor was finished.
As for the Skull-Smashing Legion that McGee is obsessed with, they are naturally on Sean's side, and they are fighting a life-or-death battle with Old Bolton in the Bastille.
Sean is a human being, not a semi-immortal, but he does not have the ability to make calculations. It is impossible to arrange everything in detail. Although he guessed that there might be a secret passage in Bastille, he failed to find it.
Again, they have limited personnel and limited time. Bastille says it's not big or small. It's impossible to conduct time-consuming and labor-intensive investigations for an uncertain factor. It's just based on the possibility and roughly circled it.
a range.
Moreover, there is no way to predict the time of Old Bolton's raid. As the saying goes, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, and every point in time can become the time for the opponent's raid.
As a passive defender, Sean could only stand ready and maintain the highest level of vigilance. He even turned a blind eye when sleeping. You can imagine how deep the suffering was. If Old Bolton had enough food and grass, he would endure the confrontation like this.
