Glory Riding and Cutting

Most of these soldiers are recruits, and a small number of veterans are just the former militia here, with no real battlefield experience. Therefore, in order to prevent the morale of the recruits from collapsing and causing the line of defense to fall, Aldridge mixed his elite knights into the recruits. Among them, let them lead the recruits to fight as small captains, and also arrange a supervising team. Once a soldier wants to escape and disturb the morale of the army, the supervising team will kill him mercilessly.

The ladders were placed on the city wall one by one, and the enemy army immediately began to climb up the city wall. Aldridge put on his helmet, took a chain hammer from the guard around him, and then held a shield to defend a place in the city. In other words, the defenders in other positions are also looking at the edge of the city wall, ready to deal a blow to the exposed enemy at any time.

Aldridge is very powerful, and the chain hammer is also very heavy. Seeing the enemy army appearing on the edge of the city wall, Aldridge suddenly swung the chain hammer that had been spinning here for a long time and had accumulated enough strength.

The chain hammer hit the head of the soldier who had just climbed the city wall. Aldridge's huge force and the power of the chain hammer directly blasted the head of the soldier wearing a simple helmet. The headless corpse also fell backwards under the force.

This situation is happening everywhere in the city wall. As soon as the climber shows his head, he has to face the fierce attack of the defenders. Even with a shield, it is difficult to resist weapons from several directions. Although other soldiers are not as strong as Aldridge power, but it can still effectively kill Mayweather's army which is not well armored.

The recruits in the defenders did not perform very well. The intense atmosphere of the battlefield made their hands and feet weak when they experienced it for the first time. The impact of the killing and the ferocious faces of the enemy also made them feel a little uncomfortable. Their heads went blank. Aldrie Qi had forgotten about 80% of what he had taught him before. If they hadn't been well equipped, and no one had a pair of plate mail armor and chain mail trousers on their legs, they would have suffered a large number of casualties long ago.

Use a spiked shield to push an enemy soldier directly against the wall, and the thick spikes on the shield directly pierce the enemy soldier's chest, and then swing the chain hammer left and right to knock down the other two enemy soldiers.

The battle quickly went on for half an hour. Except for Aldridge and the ghoul lords, the rest of the defenders began to pant, especially the recruits, who basically had no strength, and their hands waving their weapons were extremely slow.

"Switch! The second echelon is on top!"

Aldridge shouted loudly, and then the soldiers of the second echelon immediately ran up from under the city wall, took over the positions of the defenders fighting on the city wall and fought with the enemy, while the former defenders withdrew to the city wall to rest.

Because the city wall can't accommodate many soldiers, Aldridge was able to divide the limited troops into three echelons to rest and fight in shifts. The small city wall actually helped them, but Mayweather has a large number of people after all. Under his determined attack, Even if they were divided into three echelons and rotated to fight, the physical strength of the soldiers still couldn't keep up. After all, they couldn't rest for a long time.

The moon faded, the sun rose, and after a night of fierce fighting, Mayweather finally withdrew his army. The exhaustion from the rapid march could not be relieved the night before, and the state of Mayweather's troops did not allow him to continue to attack like this.

On the city wall, under the city wall, there were corpses everywhere. The wounded soldiers leaned against the corner and groaned in pain, waiting for the rescue of the military doctor. Compared with the wounded soldiers, the medical staff could not be more serious. A group of women in the fief, after simple training, asked them to work as military doctors to help treat injuries.

Severely injured soldiers were carried off the city wall on simple stretchers, and then placed in the sick and wounded battalion, while those with lesser injuries were smeared with medicine and ready to continue fighting at any time.

Because of the difficult battle situation, Aldridge had to use the healing potion that Ronan gave him before they separated, diluted it with water and applied it on the wound. For soldiers with light injuries, the wound would heal quickly, within three days Scars can be formed, but there is nothing to do with serious injuries and internal injuries.

"My lord, if the enemy continues to maintain such an intensity of attack, we probably won't be able to last long! In the battle last night alone, more than 100 of us were killed and more than 300 were injured, which has reached one-third of our total number. One of them!"

An officer whose armor was damaged in many places and whose body was covered with bloodstains who didn't know whether it was the enemy or his own walked up to Aldridge and said.

"It doesn't matter, we can hold on. Most of the injured are low-level soldiers. After the trials of iron and blood, they will grow up quickly. As long as I am here, there will be no problems!

And I have already received the news from His Majesty that he is leading the cavalry to come quickly, it will only take three weeks at the earliest, we only need to support for three weeks, and it doesn't matter if we abandon this place when His Majesty is about to arrive, just right Block them in this mountain pass and fight us! "

Aldridge glanced at him and said with a smile. At the same time, he quietly used some small magic. If he didn't use some tricks, the morale of these soldiers might not last that long.

"But my lord, His Majesty is only bringing the cavalry. Even if His Majesty came with the cavalry, Mayweather's number is still several times that of ours!"

"A group of rotten fish and rotten shrimps. I have been fighting with Your Majesty for so many years. When I had only a few thousand people, I was able to defeat Leonard who had an army of tens of thousands and mercenaries. Mere Mayweather is just an insignificant piece of land in front of the empire. It is just a small stone, easily crushed by the wheels of the empire!

Don't think too much, I have estimates in my heart, everything is under my control, we can defend this city, and it's not difficult! "

Aldridge said this very loudly, and he was actually speaking to the soldiers who were busy cleaning up the city wall. In fact, he had nothing low in his heart, he was just taking one step at a time, but if even he showed unsure As far as the attitude is concerned, those soldiers are even more finished. It is estimated that Mayweather only needs to besieged for a few days, and the city will be defeated without attacking the city.

On the other side, Ronan, who was far away on the road, was sitting on a tree stump and eating an unknown type of roasted bird in his hands. While eating, Ronan suddenly remembered that Calvin was in Starfall City at this time. It has been a long time since he had a meal prepared by Covington.

The soldiers and heroes around Ronan are very good at fighting, but cooking is poisonous to each other. The only thing they know is to cook or bake the food. During this time, Ronan made all the rations by himself. It's average, but at least it won't burn the food to the side.
