Amidst the roaring of cannons, the scattered fireworks between the forts, the fireballs and smoke caused by throwing incendiary objects from time to time, and explosive canisters; the Holy Kingdom’s army, who had not known how many attacks, also seemed to rise. Like the tide at the end, they all retreated again.
The corpses of (Holy Kingdom) soldiers wearing different colors and striped robes, as well as broken flags and weapons were scattered all over the place. They attacked and retreated all the way. But this temporary fortress and city wall, which is only two or three meters high, is still almost intact.
There are just some traces of smoke and fire, and it is stained red and black by the blood. The Free Army soldiers on the wall even raised their weapons with all their strength, bared their teeth and claws at them or looked at them with contempt, and made bursts of demonstrative shouts and taunts.
Because, in the continuous battles that took turns, they at least repelled or defeated the offensives of at least four knights with different banners; they even used tacit cooperation siege and intensive firearms fire on the spot to kill several people who rushed up the wall. of the great knight, and captured his banner.
There was also a knight who was suspected of having awakened his bloodline. During the rampage, he was knocked off the wall and tied up with his hands and feet by targeted means during the rampage, and he became a prisoner of the Free Army. But at the same time, Jiang Tian was standing on the towering cliff, watching all this silently.
Until in the distance, in the open area of the valley floor, a larger and more ornate flag appeared. It was a gold lion flag with a red background; there were light blue triangular edges on the corners. Represents a knighthood from the Holy Kingdom of Aquitaine, named after Princess Enoli, who swore lifelong chastity in the past.
He is also the leader of the plan to intervene in the southwestern provinces of the Kingdom of Sealand, as well as the superior/headquarters/knight headquarters of the Tomahawk Knights, the vanguard of the invasion. Later, amidst the sharp sound of trumpets, Jiang Tian also saw many heavily armored knights filing out.
The knights who went out in battle this time were not wearing the medium and light armor that the previous knights wore, which consisted of lock curtains, pierced armor, and iron scale armor. Instead, they were wearing a large piece of plate armor that covered their entire bodies tightly; their mounts were also covered in armor. A tall horse wearing a smock and a protective iron leaf.
Correct
It's like history repeating itself. These extraordinarily tall and sturdy heavily armored knights were holding their own flags one after another. After appearing in the assembled army, they immediately set off a mountain of cheers; they also boosted the morale that had been frustrated in the attack.
"Sir, we are ready and waiting for your order." Later, Jiang Gao Shence also called Duval, and the inheritance knights respectfully asked for instructions: Not only did they wear tailor-made The armor is also equipped with combat accessories for various purposes.
"No rush, wait a minute, you should trust your comrades." Jiang Tian replied in a low voice without turning his head, but his eyes were looking at the heavy armored men who began to take the lead in charging against the wall in the dust. knight. "Yes! Sir" Duval also squatted down after hearing this.
I saw flames and smoke clouds suddenly spitting out from the gaps in the prefabricated wall; but the artillery positions arranged in it also began to fire; one after another, the cannons drew a parabola, and the attacking team The shape exploded into piles of earth, rocks and broken limbs.
However, compared to the ordinary soldiers who suffered numerous casualties, the heavily armored knights among them suffered almost no losses; most of them seemed to be able to dodge the oncoming blows in time. Only a few people lost their mounts, but they soon caught up on foot.
After a round of shelling fell silent, there were rows of firecrackers firing from the top of the wall, and arrows flying all over the sky from behind the wall. This time, there were more heavily armored knights who lost their mounts or fell to the ground, but quickly stood up again.
They were seen holding kite-shaped iron shields filled with arrows, or that had been beaten and clanked, and passed over the ranks of the infantry with heavy casualties; it also inspired them to re-energize and quickly approach the wall. The next moment, someone jumped up and someone smashed the wall.
However, the heavily armored knight who stepped on the piled corpses and jumped up, trying to climb up the wall, was met with counterattacks from hook guns and scythes from behind the wall. Although it couldn't cause much decent damage to the heavy armor on their bodies, it successfully pushed them away.
On the other hand, those knights who wielded axes, hammers, edged clubs, and pickaxes and smashed the walls were also in trouble. Although the walls of the prefabricated cement panels were amidst flying debris and were pockmarked by their hard knocks, there were no cracks at all.
Then, with a chorus of shouts, gunpowder cans and Molotov cocktails were suddenly thrown out from the top of the wall; trails of smoke fell on their helmets, armor, and around their legs and feet, making a crisp and clanking sound. Others were smashed on the spot by heavy armored knights with a hammer.
In an instant, a viscous solution composed of naphtha, sawdust and resin rose up and ignited, enveloping the heavily armored knight; and as he screamed in panic, The cry spread into many sparks and sparks, contaminating more people.
Then, gunpowder cans exploded one after another at the feet of the knights under the wall, and clouds of smoke and fragments of gunpowder jars exploded one after another. On the spot, the rolling air waves overturned and knocked them down one after another, and all kinds of flying debris scattered them. Ordinary soldiers screamed and called for help again and again...
Although the heavily armored knight who was knocked down or overturned quickly stood up slowly with the help of other soldiers, his movements and reactions had become significantly slower. Some people even staggered to their feet or fell down again.
It was obvious that the internal organs and external senses had been damaged to varying degrees. There are also people who are constantly wiping their masks, and there are little drops of blood... When Duval saw this scene, he touched his chest and shoulders with care.
That's where he was burned and wounded in the battle before Avignon. Although he relied on the constitution and medicine passed down through his bloodline afterwards, he had completely healed without leaving any scars. But seeing this familiar scene again actually gave him inexplicable phantom limb pain.
However, these heavily armored knights, who withstood most of the Free Army's attacks, still created more offensive opportunities for their own army. I saw that the sergeants who followed were already carrying the short ladders that had been prepared again, and they were piled on top of the wall and swarmed over.
"The time is ripe, ready to enter the battlefield!" At this time, the heritage knights headed by Duval finally heard the order from the legion commander (Jiang Tian): "Send a signal to the other side and let them take action first."
A few reflections from the lenses flashing past the mountaintop, a simple signal conveyed. On the other side of the open area of the canyon, on the top of the cliff with sparse vegetation, a dull vibration suddenly came; however, after waiting for a while, it turned into a piece of rolling earth and rocks that suddenly collapsed.
It's just that the place where the mountain collapse occurred was a bit far away from the Holy Kingdom's army's main formation; it couldn't even reach the outlying sentries who were on guard. However, this brief and continuous movement also successfully attracted the attention and sight of the vast majority of people.
However, the next moment, among the officers standing under the gorgeous red-backed gold lion flag, some people could not help but scream; because, on the other side of the collapsed mountain, there were groups of armored men in blue robes. The knights, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, slid down from the top of the cliff one after another.
Then, they followed the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, breaking through and passing through countless vegetation and shrubs without any interruption, and launched a charge towards their location.
