After breakfast, Ronan led the troops and set off again. In Fort Busengue, Aldridge reassigned the soldiers on duty and fought hard all night. The soldiers had to rest, but they couldn't all rest.
Therefore, Aldridge could only select some soldiers who were still in good spirits to be on duty, and could not relax their vigilance just because of a temporary victory.
Although Mayweather's army is also very tired, they have a large number of people after all, and there were still many soldiers who did not play yesterday. We cannot rule out the possibility that Mayweather will attack again while they are tired and resting.
In the days to come, there is definitely the possibility of being attacked at any time, so Aldridge ordered the soldiers to wear inner armor to rest, and just wear a set of outer armor during battle. Besides, except for eating and standing guard time, they can
Take a nap as soon as possible, take all the time to rest, try to reduce your fatigue, and effectively maintain combat effectiveness and vitality.
The Ghoul Lords do not need to rest, so Aldridge placed them on guard duty on the city wall. Although their eyesight is average, their natural ability can effectively sense living creatures and can also play a good surveillance role.
In the following days, Mayweather launched several more attacks, harassing the defenders constantly and preventing them from taking a good rest. It was obvious that he was planning to use his numerical advantage to attack in batches and prepare to break the will of the defenders.
Ronan has used this tactic before, so Aldridge also has some ways to deal with it.
Lay some blankets directly on the city wall and let the soldiers sleep directly on the city wall. Put earplugs in their ears to avoid noise pollution from Mayweather's army. Once the enemy army launches an attack, the soldiers who are not sleeping on the city wall will wake up.
Sleeping soldier.
But even so, the defenders were still very tired after a few days. Aldridge could clearly see the red blood in the eyes of the soldiers and officers walking around the city. It was obvious that they were reaching their limit, and they had recently dealt with Mayweather.
The siege is becoming more and more difficult. The pendulum has been damaged due to repeated use, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
Mental fatigue has also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the defenders. Casualties are increasing every day. The original 500 garrisoned defenders have less than 200 left. Many of the knights brought by Aldridge have also appeared.
Wounded, if it weren't for the persistence of the Ghoul King and Aldridge, the city wall might have been lost.
Jevit's eyes were also covered with red bloodshot eyes, and the dark bags under his eyes showed that he had not had a good rest recently. As a lord, although he did not participate in the war, he did not leave the castle either. Every time the enemy attacked the city, he was defeated.
He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep well every night.
Aldridge walked to Gevitt's side, looked at Gevitt who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and said:
"Tell the residents to pack up their things and start evacuating to the south! Just bring some guards to escort the residents away together!"
"Okay, sir, what should you do?"
Jewitt felt happy after hearing Aldridge's words, but he still asked in a pretentious manner. Aldridge looked at his lowered eyebrows and knew what he was thinking.
"We will evacuate at any time, but after you arrive at the target location, His Majesty's army will arrive soon. It is too difficult to defend this castle, so you can consider giving up. Go back and pack your things quickly. If you can't put it away,
Make up your mind, if you want to live and die with the castle, I won't stop you! I can leave the task of escorting the residents to others."
"No, no, sir, I can just go. These are my subjects, and it is my duty to protect them!"
Jewitt immediately said with a flattering smile
"Okay, let's go!"
Aldridge said in a deep voice, then turned around and walked towards the city wall holding the hilt of his sword. An hour later, Mayweather's army launched another attack, and Aldridge could only lead the exhausted defenders.
Reluctantly resisting.
After holding on for another week, Aldridge quietly withdrew the soldiers from Busenguet Fort at night and walked towards a sentry tower in the south. Ronan's army had also entered the southern part of Busenguet Fort.
That territory.
At dawn the next day, Mayweather discovered that there were no patrolling soldiers on the wall of Fort Bussenge. He immediately knew that Aldridge might have led his people to retreat, so he immediately sent soldiers to the city to check, and the soldiers climbed up the wall.
After going up, I found that no one was there, so I immediately got off the city wall, entered the city, and found the switch of the city gate.
Mayweather looked at the deserted city, sent out soldiers to check, and then said:
"The traces are still very fresh. Based on yesterday's situation, they should have left at night, and the time they left should be less than four hours!
They have many injuries and injuries, and they are not all cavalry. They cannot run very far. Xinda, you lead the cavalry in pursuit immediately! But don’t rush into it. You can judge the specific form by yourself!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Sindar is a tall knight, wearing heavy full-body plate armor and a huge iron bucket helmet. He is Mayweather's chief knight. He is deeply trusted by Mayweather and has been commanding Mayweather's army.
The heavy cavalry.
After Mayweather gave the order, Sinda immediately got on his horse, returned to the army, summoned his men, and quickly ran out of Fort Busengue from the west gate, chasing after him along the traces on the road.
Time was tight, and Aldridge had no energy or time to deal with the traces left by the carriages and troops. The ruts and horse footprints were clearly left on the soft dirt road.
"Sir, we will be overtaken soon. Why don't the cavalry bring an infantryman? We speed up and rush to the sentry tower in front, so that we can use the sentry tower to face the enemy!"
An officer rode up to Aldridge who was rushing at the front and said. Aldridge smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I just wanted them to catch up on purpose. His Majesty's troops are already near us. We are just bait now!"
The officer immediately nodded clearly and did not continue to ask how Aldridge got in touch with Ronan. After following Aldridge for a long time, they seemed to be able to talk to Ronan regardless of distance.
They were used to it. They didn't know the reason, but they could only attribute this to Ronan's magical power, and therefore they were even more convinced of Ronan.
The team continued to advance at a steady speed. When they were about to reach the watchtower, there was a shaking feeling on the ground. Aldridge immediately stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop. Then a cavalryman next to him immediately got off his horse, crawled on the ground and put his ear to it.
ground.
"Sir, you will catch up with us in ten minutes at most!"
After listening to the assessment, the knight reported to Aldridge.
