    Chapter 15 Battle of Starling Town (4)

    In order to protect his wealth from infringement, Lublin mobilized 2,000 elite city defense infantry and more than 2,000 auxiliary militiamen from the central area to the south. The huge army walked out of the courtyard and streets and headed towards the 2.4-kilometer-wide ring line in the north.  Place defenses in place.

    Click!

    A huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the spire of the forty-meter-high castle in the center of the town. In an instant, there was lightning and thunder, and the white-blue electric light was transmitted to the ground along the bronze chains of the castle.

    "ah!"

    "ah!"

    "Someone was struck to death by lightning."

    "He was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal."

    "terrible."

    More than a dozen soldiers in the castle looked with fear at the deceased who was hiding under the eaves and making a hammock with a bronze rope. The attendant happened to put his hand on the bronze chain while he was resting, which contributed to the tragedy below.

    Many surrounding soldiers heard the sound and murmured in shock: "What did we do wrong?"

    "Why does God punish our brothers on this side, but those damn Elantes were unscathed by lightning?"

    After the lightning, bigger raindrops fell from the sky, and strong winds blew violently from the east to the west.

    "General, Viscount, it's bad. The castle between us was struck by lightning and two people were killed. Those slaves and servants were very scared, thinking that we had done something bad and offended the sky. The brothers in the rear were very scared, and some militiamen were unwilling to  Move forward.¡±

    "What?"

    Hearing what the messenger said, Tutus angrily punched the wood of the command tent in front.  He said angrily: "Tell those soldiers that those two damn sinners did something wrong. God has sent thunder and lightning to punish them. This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. You can let them come to the front line with peace of mind. If they resist the Ilantes army  If you are really guilty, then let me bear all the sins!"

    "yes!"

    "I'll go right away."

    The thin messenger glanced at Tutus with admiration and quickly ran out.

    Viscount Lu Linsen slowly walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the flashes of lightning and dense rain outside.  Ningmei sighed: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Just now we could see three to five hundred meters away. Now under this situation, we can only see 50 or 100 meters at most. God! Let us see.  Let this damn heavy rain end quickly!"

    "Um!"

    Tutus frowned and said indignantly: "This rain is really untimely, but obviously the difficulties faced by the Elantes are much greater than ours. Your Excellency, Viscount, we still have 2,000 elite urban infantry and 1,000 elite urban infantry in the central area.  Town militia. 1,500 knights and squire troops. 1,500 rural militia troops. In terms of strength, I feel that we are not sparse than them. On the contrary, I feel that there will be a little more of our people. Now I hope that this rain will end soon.  .¡±

    "Um!"

    Lu Linsen nodded and said thoughtfully: "Tutus, although we have Heifer leading the naval force to defend on the high ground to the north. Although that position is 70 or 80 meters higher than the flat ground, I feel that their more than 2,500 people are still  A little less. You should send 1,000 knights and attendants to the center and rear to assist in the defense!"

    "Well! But we must keep enough reserves among us. Let's first send 1,000 rural militia troops to assist them in taking turns fighting! After all, the number of enemies they face is not large, and their terrain is high enough. It's raining so much now.  Big. If the Elantes want to climb up through a high slope of four to five hundred meters, they will naturally know the difficulty after a few falls."

    "The only thing we have to do now is to wait for the surrounding intelligence. Send out our elite reserves at any time and be prepared for complete defense."

    "The general really knows strategy well!"

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, in the Elantra army formation, the heavy rain falling from the sky made everyone feel anxious and uncomfortable. Lin Fenghan rode in front and set an example by waiting for information. He let the heavy rain hit his helmet and entered along the collar.  Clothes in the body.

    "Baron, the situation ahead is not good. The slope is too slippery. Many brothers slipped and fell when they moved forward. Mayoden and the others' attack was blocked." Vera said anxiously looking forward with his hands on his eyes.

    "I know." Lin Fenghan blocked the raindrops with both hands, looked at the hazy front in the rain curtain, and calmly said to Sfit and others: "Immediately send an order to Lanska, Mayoden, Lumengton, and Julali  Wait, when the soldiers in the front are tired, move to the rear. If the bows and arrows can't be fired, throw javelins and target locks. Hold on for at least 20 minutes."

    "yes!"

      "Yes!"

    Five or six Guards Cavalry quickly sent messages in several directions.

    "Report!"

    "Baron, good news! After careful investigation, we found an area of ??more than 140 meters wide between the town to the north of the battlefield and their camp. No guardrails or trenches were found, and the trenches in the road area to the north were almost unexcavated. According to  Observe that the depth of the pits is less than half a meter and the width is less than one meter. However, it is more than 90 meters above the ground here and has a slope of 42 degrees. The cavalry cannot rush up." Paros wiped the rain with an excited face and said:  Lin Fenghan said.

    "What? That's great."

    Lin Fenghan excitedly rode forward and said quickly: "Where is that place? Take me there quickly to have a look."

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, on the battlefield 1,900 meters from the south of Starling Town to the middle area, the armies of both sides were in a stalemate, accompanied by the rapid mobilization of the Cape Watch noble army.  The southernmost Coland's cavalry archers were in trouble.

    Under the increasingly heavy rain, many horse archers faced the gentle slope of the town above, forming a squadron of 30 people. The horn bows in their hands continued to shoot at the city defense infantry who appeared in sight above.

    "Commander Ke Langde, there are so many of them here again! The squadron we rushed to near the backyard of the vegetable field in the town's mud house was shot down."

    "What?"

    "Grandma's." Ke Langde wiped his eyes and looked up, and sure enough he saw the light cavalry being driven down 200 meters away.  He quickly raised his hand and said: "Leave three hundred people here to harass them, and all the others will go around the edge of the town with me to scare them."

    "yes!"

    Several messenger soldiers quickly rode towards the surrounding brigade.

    Comlay looked with some fear at the growing number of noble soldiers above the gently sloping vegetable field 300 meters away.  He said in shock: "Brother, you see there are many Cape Watch defense forces with bright flags and gorgeous and neat clothes. It seems that their elite infantry have been mobilized to guard against us. There is no need for us to continue to move around, right?  !¡±

    "Ah! Your eyes are so sharp!"

    "It's a good thing they came."

    Kelande patted the horse even more excitedly, and said happily: "The order the Baron gave me is to attract their attention. The more people they come, the better. This will reduce more pressure in the direction of our main attack."

    Comlay wiped the rain from his face with his linen sleeve.  He frowned and said, "But brother, their cavalry units haven't taken action since the war started. I'm worried that we will lose most of our troops after they take action."

    "What are you worried about!" Kelande turned around and looked at the 17 or 18-year-old Comlay seriously and said: "Comlay, I hope you can become a brave warrior instead of a selfish coward. We  The mission of establishing the Light Cavalry Regiment is to cover the main force of the Elantra Army. Although our situation is dangerous now, we have completed our mission perfectly. This is something we should be proud of. As a soldier, especially a general officer  , we must not stop moving forward because of fear of death, otherwise he is not worthy of being a warrior."

    Coland drove his horse closer and reached out to pat Comley on the shoulder, and whispered: "What's more, even we are unwilling to go out on horseback in this weather. What about those noble knights? You know, we are  The 1,000 cavalrymen all wore leather armor and went into battle lightly this time, and all heavy equipment was placed in the logistics station. Even so, many of our soldiers fell off their horses and their horses fell."

    "The town of Starlin is built on a hill 100 meters high. These noble heavy cavalry have to ride down directly without falling half to death. It would be better if they rode down wearing light armor. Our weapons are not weak.  For them, under the combined attack of bows, arrows, spears, and javelins, it is absolutely impossible for us to fail."

    "The commander is so smart!" Comlay and another cavalry deputy centurion Cofulan who was standing next to him looked at Kolander with admiration and said in admiration.

    "hey-hey!"

    ¡­¡­

    The teams of Lanska, Mayoden, Lumonton, Wagel, Julali and others still persisted in the attack, and powerful shouts of killing continued to sound from above the town.  Heavy raindrops fell, and soldiers from both sides fought risking their lives.

    Ma Youden looked anxiously at the battlefield ahead, and said to Lu Mengton next to him: "Xiaolulu, our warriors have attacked three waves. Although they killed three or four hundred of them with the help of javelins and bows and arrows, but  We have one or two hundred people online, and I really can¡¯t stand it if the fight continues like this.¡±

    "Brother, don't worry, we haveThe soldiers had basically destroyed their disgusting wooden fences. In the previous attack, the brothers had already explored twenty or thirty incompletely repaired and very narrow trenches.  "

    "Moreover, our formation is scattered, their personnel are dense, and the commander is timid and will not send troops to step out of the trench at all. If this continues, we will suffer heavy casualties under the attack of the archers from behind, and our morale will be low. If we wait  It will be time for us to gain a stronghold in a moment." Lu Mengton comforted softly with determination.

    "Hey!" Ma Youden nodded slightly, touched his forehead and said with tears: "Actually, I know everything you said, but I saw that the brothers who usually eat, sleep and socialize together were dead and injured.  I feel so uncomfortable!¡±

    "Commander Mayoudun, look, Centurion Sosila rushed into the side street with his centurion, and now they are rushing towards the surrounding strongholds." Captain Flaten of the Guards suddenly pointed to 70 meters above.  He shouted to Kelande.

    "ah!"

    "Very good!"

    Ma Youdun looked up happily and looked at Lu Mengton, and said quickly: "Let the brothers in front not be scattered anymore, quickly assemble the unit, and rush forward with the thirty-man squadron as the main force."

    "Also, Flaten, wave the battle flag immediately. Ask the Baron for help and tell him about our situation here."

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    It is now 8.50 minutes.  After Lin Fenghan discovered the weakness, he quickly led 500 heavy cavalry, 100 general guards, and removed 10 small phalanxes from the phalanx, quickly catching the rain curtain and moving towards the north.

    "Baron!"

    "The forward troops of Commander Mayoden have captured the two street entrances in front of Starling Town. Now a small part of our infantry has crossed the trenches and entered the town. The teams of Commander Wagel and Deputy Commander Uulari have quickly used their troops.  I have used up the quiver I carried with me, and are now replenishing the army from the rear. Now the regiment leader asked me to come over to report the news and seek support."

    Woo!

    Woo!

    Woohoo!

    Woohoo!

    Woohoo!

    ¡­¡­

    at this time.  Bursts of gentle horn sounds suddenly came to mind and came intermittently.

    Lin Fenghan suddenly froze, and calmly said to Vera: "Did you hear the horn sound?"

    "ah!"

    "The horn sounds!"

    Vera held a round ball in her right hand and put it on her ear. She suddenly nodded excitedly and said, "Baron, I heard it. It was the sound of a horn. Ramsay's cavalry unit has bypassed it."

    "Report!"

    At this time, a light cavalry quickly ran from the rear.  Ignoring the splatter of sweat, he shouted excitedly: "Baron, Commander Rafa has led 700 people from the vanguard militia and is about to arrive at our military formation. The new commander Namus will lead 1,400 people from the rear and arrive here within 10 minutes.  .¡±

    "good!"

    "Very good!"

    Lin Fenghan rubbed his hands excitedly and nodded, and said seriously to the messenger: "Order Rana, Davout, Balida, Qituoton and all the Elante warriors in the middle to launch an attack."

    "Order the main cavalry regiment, the general's guard, Pendak, Parmisi and other spearmen to charge with me."

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    Woohoo!

    Woohoo!

    Woohoo!

    ¡­¡­

    A huge horn sounded from the Elante phalanx.  Followed by the archer unit, the buckler infantry unit.  Spear infantry units, light cavalry units, logistics infantry units, artillery trebuchet units, and many horns sounded together.

    Heavy, desolate, and quaint sounds surrounded the entire town of Starlin from three sides. All the noble soldiers, town soldiers, noble knights, slaves, servants, and town residents who were on standby in the town looked around uneasily.

    "Report!"

    "Report!"

    "Report!"

    ¡­¡­

    Numerous messengers were reporting from the headquarters seventy meters behind the front line of Starling Town. In the headquarters, Viscount Lulinsen looked at Tutus with worried eyebrows and said: "General, there are light cavalry attacking from the south of us now. They are going to attack."  Support. The Elantra army is attacking from the front. They report, where is their main attack direction?"

    "Urgent report!"

    "The army in front of Elantes has broken through part of our wooden wall, and the main army in the rear has been mobilized in full force. It is returning to us and seeking support from the front."

      ¡°What a loud horn sound!¡±

    ¡°Everyone, look!¡±

    "it is true!"

    "It's raining so heavily, they launched a full-scale attack."

    "crazy!"

    ¡­¡­

    Tutustun became nervous and shouted seriously: "Everyone calm down, quickly mobilize the main force of 2,000 urban infantry in our rear, and quickly summon all the cavalry. The situation is dangerous now. As long as you can withstand this attack!"  , we will be completely safe.¡±

    "good!"

    Lu Linsen looked at all the nobles present with a trembling body and said: "The situation is very critical now. All the 500 elite cavalry in my city will set out to attack the Erantes light cavalry in the south. The vassals and myself have at least 1,000 cavalry in total.  I hope that at this moment everyone will stop hiding and face the danger with all their strength."

    "yes!"

    "I will order my vassals right now!"

    "Well, I will leave my knights and squires under the command of General Tutus."

    ¡­¡­

    "Brothers, rush!"

    "Kill!"

    "Everyone dismount and climb the mountain on foot."

    More than 1,500 people, led by Lin Fenghan, quickly launched an attack from the steep slope in the north toward the camp above.  Under the cover of the rain curtain, when the troops approached 150 meters of the high slope, the defensive troops discovered the troops in the sky.

    "General Heifer, this is bad!"

    "To the east, to the east, they have launched a forceful attack. They are all over the mountains and plains, densely packed with countless people."

    Heifer, who was in the camp high command headquarters in the north, suddenly sat on his chair in shock and said in shock: "A lot of cavalry suddenly appeared in the middle of our north. I have mobilized all the main marines there. Now we have only one cavalry to the east.  Five to six hundred people defended, this time it¡¯s over.¡±

    "correct!"

    "Has the letter we sent to the headquarters for help been found? What did Tutus say? You know, these Elantes are elite soldiers who have experienced many large-scale battles! Only two of my men can fight  You have to beat them all.¡±

    "No, there has been no response to our request for help just now."

    At this time, his young attendant of the messenger was panting and tired and said to Heifer: "General Tutus said in the last letter for help that we are facing an attack of ten thousand troops to the south, and most of the troops are  They have been mobilized to various areas. After just mobilizing more than 1,000 of us, they are no longer willing to give it to us. He asked you to hold on a little longer and make sure to defend the high ground and camp."

    "Hold it!"

    "Damn! How can I hold on to so many people? You know, I am a naval general! Commanding land warfare is not my specialty!"

    "Quickly send a messenger over and tell them that we are besieged by 4,000 people, and ask them to quickly mobilize at least 1,500 people, otherwise I will not be able to stop them. Grandma, it seems that if I don't expand the number of enemies, they will not  Give me support!"

    Heifer looked angrily at the town to the south, quickly stood up and ran towards the frontal battlefield with the general's guards.

    "one!"

    "two!"

    "three!"

    "put!"

    "put!"

    "put!"
