At noon, the siege battle had reached a fever pitch. After a full morning of fierce fighting, both sides had left thousands of corpses on and off the walls of Watt Fortress! Almost all the walls of Watt Fortress were stained red with blood. There was already a shallow layer of blood on the bluestone surface on the wall, and the fishy smell was pungent!
After fighting fiercely for a whole morning, Reuenthar had no intention of ordering a retreat. He kept issuing orders for his men to charge forward one by one. There was a thick layer of corpses piled up at the foot of the city wall, but in the face of the heavy casualties, Reuenthal showed no regret at all—because he knew that only by conquering Watt Fortress could he gain a firm foothold in the northwest! Only the conquering of Watt Fortress can be regarded as pulling out the last nail in the empire's northwest!
As long as we can occupy the northwest and occupy the northwest for a long time, then the iron mines in the northwest and the food produced in the fertile soil of thousands of miles can continuously grow the Dayue Kingdom! His cavalry can be equipped with exquisite armor! His infantry can be well equipped! His army will have enough food and fodder!
And these are the supplies that the Great Moon Kingdom is most in short supply!
With these supplies, they can then use the momentum of victory to force the empire to stop its troops. As long as there is two or three years of cultivation time, the Dayue Kingdom will have enough strength to fight an all-out war with the empire! He has enough strength to compete with the Light Empire for the hegemony of this continent!
Therefore, Reuenthar made up his mind to take down the Watt Fortress even if half of the people here were killed or injured!
Even if half of the people are killed or injured, it doesn’t matter! There is no shortage of brave and sturdy warriors on horseback on the grassland! As long as Reuenthar gives an order, young men in the entire prairie can mount their horses and become brave cavalry!
It is for these reasons that Reuenthal made up his mind to capture the Watt Fortress no matter how many people were killed or injured! With the Watt Fortress and other military strongholds already captured, a strong defense system can be firmly established in the northwest, and only then can the northwest be truly controlled by the Big Moon Kingdom!
The imperial soldiers on the city wall had exhausted faces. All the soldiers had blood on their faces and more or less injuries on their bodies. Ruben has no reserve team at this moment. He has twice ordered the mobilization of the garrison guards from the other three city gates. But he did not dare to continue to mobilize the defenders of other city gates. Because Reuenthar has more troops than him, if the other city gates are emptied and are attacked by a cunning guy like Reuenthar, it will be a big deal...
Throughout the morning, the archers had finished shooting all their arrows. The enemy had already rushed onto the city wall. The archers no longer had space to shoot calmly. Many archers had already drawn their swords and fought with the enemies! On this narrow city wall, Ruben suffered more than 20,000 casualties in one morning!
The long swords in the hands of many imperial defenders had been curled by cuts, and it was impossible to tell whether the blood on their bodies was their own or the enemy's. But those foreign barbarians shouted and rushed upward one by one as if they were not afraid of death. The scimitars in their hands were like tools for harvesting human lives. Every time they cut, they would bring out a bloody mess. On the city wall, people were squeezing together like ants, and screams and roars filled the entire earth.
Ruben had also personally joined the ranks of melee combat. He had lost count of how many people he had killed. The alien warrior he met just now was extremely powerful. Although his last sword pierced his chest, he still couldn't remember it. The knife before his death almost cut off one of his arms. The wound on his right arm was now deep enough to see the bone, but during the fight there was no chance to bandage it.
Ruben was already a little scared. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that Watt Fortress may not be able to be saved today! At this moment, there were shouts of killing on the city wall, but the morale of the imperial defenders had dropped. Seeing batches of fierce enemies who were not afraid of death, they kept rushing up. Those enemies who were killing endlessly had ferocious expressions on their faces. With their faces and gloomy machetes...are these guys really not afraid of death? !
An overwhelming sadness, anger and heroism hit his heart. Ruben was uneasy. He only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a scimitar had broken through his already cracked armor. Ruben subconsciously swiped the big sword in his left hand and cut the foreign warrior who succeeded in the sneak attack into two pieces. However, his body went limp and he almost fell down.
Several loyal soldiers had already swarmed forward, shouting and entangled with the enemy. Two of his men desperately dragged Ruben back.
"Forget it, the city wall can't be defended!" A thought crossed Reuben's mind, and he was about to issue an order to abandon the city wall, and the entire army retreated into the city to fight the enemy in the streets. Suddenly, I heard one of my subordinates shouting excitedly with a trembling voice: "Sir!! Your Majesty!! Listen... that's... that's..."
Only a loud bugle was heard coming from far away. The sharp and long sound of the bugle was completely different from the imperial bugle that Ruben was used to hearing.
Immediately, I only saw a few knights faintly appearing on the high slope behind the Great Moon King's formation directly in front. Although the distance was too far to see their clothes and equipment clearly, the knight in charge had a high sword in his hand. Holding high a huge flaming flag!
Then, behind the flag, a dense row of cavalry appeared. The figures were dark, more and more... more and more...
The bugle sounded again, this time short and sharp, one after another, a full six times!
Even though he was far away, Ruben seemed to be able to hear the neighing of the war horse!
This is the unique "Charge" of the Central Cavalry Corps! The charging bugle sounded six times! All cavalry must be in charge formation! Anyone who delays will be killed immediately!
Ruben's eyes immediately glowed with a strange light!
"Sir!! It's the 'Thunder God's Whip'!! It's the 'Thunder God's Whip'!!" The two deputies under him are also veteran soldiers, and they can tell the difference in the bugle as soon as they hear it!
"Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements from the Empire have arrived!!"
Although no one spoke, such a thought flashed through the minds of tens of thousands of imperial soldiers above the city at the same time!
Suddenly, a loud and strong voice resounded throughout the land:
"Wolf-fang-!!!"
"Kill!!" Tens of thousands of voices shouted at the same time!
Immediately, there was a storm in the sky! !
The dark figures on the high slope immediately rolled like dark clouds under the strong wind! Countless horse hooves hit the ground, and the dull sound was like hitting people's hearts hard!
The knight holding the flag at the head led the way, and then more and more people on the hillside were like ants, and the black cavalry legions poured down!
Under the noon sun, the fiery red flag seemed to be soaring and burning... The brilliant tulip was boiling and burning in the flames!
"It's... it's... the battle flag of Tulip!" Ruben was stunned, his eyes filled with incredible looks, and he murmured. The muscles in the corners of his eyes were also trembling slightly. Then, two rays of light suddenly shot out from his eyes, A strange look filled his face again!
"It's the Tulip Battle Flag!! The Tulip Battle Flag!!" The soldiers of the empire shouted in surprise. The voice changed from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, and then from a thousand to It became ten thousand! !
