"Brother Salin, aren't you worried about the people behind these thieves?"
"There is nothing to worry about. Rex's cavalry will arrive in ten days, a month at most. wWW!QuanBeN-XiaoShuo!COm. This city will be part of Kushui County. Salin answered very naturally. He is He is really not afraid. He has even seen people like Faka. I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to scare him in this plane.
If the people behind these thieves are really too powerful to fight against, they can go directly to Metatrin City like Faka and negotiate terms with Salin or Rex, and they will either comply or kill you.
The forces behind the thieves are obviously not that strong now, and they are still using such unscrupulous methods to take advantage of the emptiness in the north of Phoenix to encroach on the land here.
The people in Side Star City didn't know that the reinforcements outside had no intention of saving them. For three consecutive days, the thieves attacked the city frantically. There was no need for this, but Salin stabbed the thieves in the back and then disappeared, which made the thieves panic and had no choice but to knock down Side Star City as soon as possible.
What's more, the supplies carried by the thieves were too small and could last for more than a week at most. Only after entering the city can we find food. There is a large granary in Side Star City. It was built by magicians sent by Archduke Phoenix. The food in this granary can feed the people in the city for decades. You won't go hungry either.
The thieves did not dare not to fight, and there were only a few people to contain Mars City, and it would only take three or two days at most. Mars City can send troops to come to the rescue.
The thieves are out of trebuchets. We can only set up a ladder and attack by force.
Thieves are not good at fighting like this. But there are more than a hundred regular troops in Side Star City, and including the trained peasant soldiers, there are only more than a thousand. If they want to have a chance to rest, these more than a thousand people must guard one city wall at most. The remaining vacancies will be filled by the young people in the city.
The city buildings in the north of Phoenix are basically made of stone. The defenders in the city demolished half of the houses and moved the stones to the top of the city to use them as defensive weapons. The other equipment in the city is sufficient, but the number of feather arrows is too small. When the thieves attacked the city, they rushed in blindly, but did not use bows and arrows to suppress the city.
There was no possibility of replenishing the arrows in Side Star City, as they were all shot on the first day.
The magician among the thieves did not take action. Phoenix is still nominally a subordinate principality of Qin Yin. If the magician participates in the attack, the magician from Alchemy City will destroy it.
Normally, there were no siege engines. A fortress like Side Star City with a wall height of about fifteen meters is difficult to break, even if the people in the city are not elite troops.
However, there were too few defenders in the city. More than 10,000 thieves were divided into four groups and attacked repeatedly day and night. It was difficult for the defenders to rest. On the third day, more than a hundred thieves attacked the city. Although they were defeated quickly, it was obvious that Side Star City could not be defended.
The defenders were extremely exhausted. For three days and three nights, no one could rest. Thieves surrounded three walls. Let go of the south gate and don't attack. But the people in the city knew that the thieves outside the city had more than a thousand cavalry and they would escape if they left the city. He would be quickly caught up, which would be faster than dying in the city.
Salin's team arrived outside Side Star City, and it happened that the thieves broke through the northern city wall. When the city gate is opened inside. The thieves who were still feigning attacks on the east and west sides immediately rushed to the north gate. The defenders collapsed and the thieves swarmed in.
Take Aini's fifty. The cavalry was the core, and the caravan's guards and slaves followed behind the thieves. Rushed into Side Star City.
The thieves can be said to be well-organized and undisciplined, but no one found out that this team of nearly a thousand people was not their accomplice. In addition to the cargo on the cart, the goods transported by Guya Baroness and Aini this time also included magic cores transported by space equipment. The number of guards has reached this scale. Generally, the number of guards in a caravan is about a hundred people, which can just enough to compete with the fleeing thieves.
Before arriving at Side Star City. Salin had already reorganized his team and used the slaves as auxiliary soldiers according to the army's organization to help his soldiers fight. The soldiers wore metal full-body light armor, and the slaves wore high-quality leather armor. He looks a bit like a thief.
Side Star City is a square shape, one and a half miles long from north to south. Once the north gate is broken, the Viscount of Side Star City can't care about the dignity of the nobility. He brought more than 20 soldiers and more than 30 servants with him. He escaped from the south gate on horseback.
There were only a few war horses in Side Star City, so they escaped. The people in the city didn't know it yet, and the fighting continued.
When the city was broken, it was evening, the setting sun was like blood, and the cold wind was biting. The thieves did not have horns or war drums, and relied on a metal whistle to communicate. The sound of fighting was low. The sound of a sharp metal whistle tore through the sky and spread far away. When Salin and others arrived, half of the thieves had already entered Side Star City.
The sound of the sword slashing against the armor was extremely harsh, and the thieves' hand crossbows began to threaten during the street fight. The hand crossbow, with a killing range of more than ten meters, relied on its shooting advantage to suppress the stubborn defenders in the city to death. The layout of Side Star City is the same as that of most Qin Yin cities. The streets are wide and the thieves' numerical advantage is immediately apparent. Usually three to five. The thieves surrounded a peasant soldier and started fighting. The poor peasant soldier only trained two in a year. When the moon was less than a month old, although he was wearing armor with metal armor leaves, these
Secondly, the leather armor used during training is at least light and flexible. These cities have strong armor. At least a junior swordsman can wear it.
Because they are not adapted to the weight of the armor and the twisting angle of the joints, the peasant soldiers' movements are somewhat unbalanced. Chopping with knives. The only way is to resist with armor, and then try to kill one with the spear in your hand. enemy.
No matter how good the armor of these peasant soldiers is. They couldn't withstand the thieves' crazy hacking. Often the peasant soldiers' weapons were cut off first, and then the thieves' long knives tore the armor from the joint gaps.
The braver thieves will use the triangle sword to break the armor. More often, two thieves will hold down one. Peasant soldier, let the third one, the thief, insert his dagger into the peasant soldier's throat.
Occasionally a thief rushes too fast. Surrounded by peasant soldiers. Only then will they cause their own casualties.
When Su entered the city, the scene he saw was extremely tragic. The thieves had blocked the south gate from the other direction and let the Viscount go. The city was in chaos. The peasant soldiers without anyone under their command were like dogs without their claws. But these thieves did not want to take prisoners. Regardless of whether the peasant soldiers put down their weapons or surrendered, the thieves would shoot at a distance with crossbows and then rush to kill them.
Peasant soldiers without armor were directly shot to death by hand crossbows. The remaining peasant soldiers were weak and would be cut into pieces by thieves in the blink of an eye.
Su was from an aristocratic family, and he valued peasants very much. This thief killed him wantonly, but this made him, a silver swordsman, angry. It was just that Salin asked him to keep an eye on the magician. At this moment, the magician didn't show up. He didn't know where he was hiding, and Su didn't dare to go around putting out the fire.
Tris has put on full body armor. His armor was re-refined by Saleen, but its appearance was still hideous and terrifying. The black and gray armor has sharp spikes, which are themselves weapons. Even if Tris fits into it, she will knock several holes out of the enemy.
The devil is good at guessing people's hearts and saw Su's angry expression. Tris knew it was time to win over Salin.
"Su, you stare at the mage, give me twenty men, and I will kill those idiots for you. Tris urged the horse to come to Su's side. Su nodded and gave Tris twenty cavalry with her fingers.
Instead of using his long whip, Tris picked up a giant horse-killing sword and rushed towards the place where the thieves were most concentrated. In the hands of the twenty cavalry behind him were the scimitars that Salin had brought down. This scimitar is modeled after the scimitar that was seized from the soldiers of the Inquisition. Each piece is a magical equipment and can break heavy armor in a single swing.
Tris was self-conscious about riding a heavily armored skeleton war horse. That giant horse-killing sword probably weighed more than two hundred kilograms. The three-meter-long giant sword was swung out, and coupled with the impact of the skeleton war horse, Tris cut a bloody path on the street. The twenty riders behind only need to keep an eye on the side for Tris.
Tris was eager to kill and released a mental shock. His mental shock was not as good as Dorothy's, but the enemies were just ordinary thieves. Most of them were low-level swordsmen, and their mental strength was simply not enough to resist a powerful demon.
The thief who was hit by the mental shock was staggering. The less powerful one had blood spurting from his facial features and died immediately. Even those who had practiced sword energy couldn't stand up. Tris excitedly used the skeleton war horse to trample on him. Only the skeleton war horse could attack like this.
Cuisi weighed more than two thousand kilograms including the war horse and heavy armor. The hooves of the skeleton war horse were wrapped in metal and trampled on the thief's body, causing a bloody mess. Tris felt it was not enough, so she simply aimed at the thief's head and stepped on it. This time it was better, a popping sound was heard, the blood was mixed with white brains, and with the giant horse-killing sword, severed limbs were flying in the street. For a moment, it seemed as if they were in purgatory.
Twenty of them followed Tris. The cavalry were all cold, and Tris's madness made them all a little uncomfortable. Moreover, this woman is too powerful. The giant three-meter-long horse-killing sword is originally used for show. Under normal circumstances, weapon shops make this kind of equipment just on the surface that they have good blacksmiths, not really. For people to use.
Only Su enjoyed watching it from a distance. Nobles have absolutely no sympathy for thieves. Under normal circumstances, when a thief is caught, the nobles will come up with many ways to torture and kill the thief.
Su felt happy and led the team to occupy the high-rise building near the city gate, and then arranged for slaves to go up with steel crossbows to occupy the commanding heights. Su didn't take action himself. He took off the longbow from his back and was ready to deal with that person at any time. Sixth level mage.
The thieves were still pouring into the city, and the slaves occupying high places shot down from above. The thieves thought it was sporadic resistance in the city. Although the accuracy of the slaves was not good, the shooting distance was too close. The thieves who rushed into the city gate suffered heavy casualties. After fighting for half an hour or more, the thieves realized something was wrong. Someone followed them and sneaked into the city!
Two hundred cavalry came around from the side road and rushed towards the north gate. The slaves fired from a high position, but this time the effect was much worse. These two hundred cavalry are the backbone of the thieves, even though they are wearing leaf armor. But they all wear two layers, lined with animal skins in the middle. Moreover, the helmets of these thieves are all cast in one piece and are very strong. When a steel crossbow is fired at them, they will basically slide away.
In the blink of an eye, the two hundred thieves rushed to the opposite side of Su.
