king of the castle

Chapter 353

Sophia was also running towards the gate of the city. She didn't bring any weapons at all, and she was only wearing the red skinny suit. 【】Yeyan's pretty face was full of excitement, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

Didn't this guy think of war as an outing?Eaton was quite polite to Sophia, and couldn't help complaining to Roger in his heart: Lord Viscount doesn't look like a foolish person, how could he come to such a dangerous place with such a burden?It's too troublesome to distract her energy to protect her in the future!

These aristocratic ladies in Eaton are such a group of people who only know how to enjoy themselves.They only know how to talk about the weather, clothes and jewelry all day long, and they don't know how dangerous the world is.Especially people in those desert countries, they are not as polite to women as noble knights in the kingdom.If a beautiful woman falls into their hands, she will either be humiliated to death in turn, or become a slave for the lust of a certain big man. Such a situation would be worse than being killed directly.

Knowing that whether Sophia was killed, injured or captured in battle would cause him a lot of trouble, Yiton was also somewhat dissatisfied with Sophia who "added chaos" to him.

However, Sophia is the female companion brought by Roger after all, and Eaton could not let her go into danger but was moved, so he immediately reminded: "Miss Sophia, the battlefield is very dangerous. ...go to the castle and wait for the battle to end!"

Because the battle was imminent, Yi Dun's tone was not very polite.In the past, Sophia would have slapped this daring human to death long ago.But as the relationship with Roger became more and more ambiguous, she also began to think more about Roger.Sophia knew that this human being was of great help to Roger in mastering Gettysburg, so she didn't plan to kill Eaton.Sophia just smiled charmingly at Yidun, then casually picked up half a stone that fell from the city wall from the ground, and crushed the stone into small stones with a little force.

"Su..." Yiton originally wanted to persuade Sophia again, but after seeing her such a powerful performance, he was so stunned that he couldn't say anything.

Although ordinary stones were used to build the city wall, it is amazing that this young woman turned the stones into small pebbles just by pinching them casually.After all, a stone is a stone, even if you hit it hard with a hammer, it will take a lot of effort to do this, let alone squeeze it with your hands.

Looking at Sophia's slender white jade hands, imagining what would happen if these hands touched his body, Yi Dun immediately shivered involuntarily.At this time, he already admired Roger so much that he didn't dare to have the slightest bit of contempt.Roger's strength is already astonishing, this woman who is just a vase seems to be stronger than him.This made Eaton feel sad for those soldiers who dared to try Sophia's idea, even if Roger was assassinated, so what?This delicate woman is not something they can handle.

Just when Yi Dun was stunned, Sophia had already rushed to the city wall with an astonishing speed.Remembering that he was still worried about the safety of others just now, Yi Dun shook his head self-deprecatingly, and ran up the city wall.On the field outside Gettysburg, the enemy cavalry had arrived.

Unlike the cavalry of the Thorn Kingdom, the mounts of the cavalry of the desert country are all sand beasts with tall legs and long legs.This kind of animal is half the height of an ordinary horse, and its running speed is not inferior to that of a horse. Moreover, it can go without drinking or eating for a long time. It is the most ideal means of transportation in the desert.

The enemy cavalry urged the sand beasts to run around Gettysburg, shouting loudly and sharply, and throwing javelins on the saddle at the soldiers on the city wall.

These sand beast cavalry are equipped with three types of weapons, lances, scimitars and javelins.The cavalry is used for charging, the scimitar is used for close combat with the enemy, and the javelin is naturally used for long-distance attacks.

The sand beast cavalry are usually used to using javelins, and they can almost shoot with a hundred shots at a distance of thirty feet.As a round of javelins was thrown, a series of screams immediately sounded on the city wall.At least 20 soldiers were shot by javelins and fell limply to the ground.

Compared with arrows, javelins have a much shorter range, but because of their heavy weight, javelins are extremely lethal within the range, and even ordinary shields cannot resist them.Many soldiers were directly pierced by javelins thicker than their thumbs, and they would definitely not survive without the help of the clergy.

However, most of the javelins were the original defenders of Gettysburg, and few of Roger's soldiers were injured.After the sand beast cavalry threw a round of javelins, the crossbowmen on the city wall also began to show off their power.

The crossbowmen are mainly soldiers under Roger, most of them are heavy crossbowmen and a few are longbowmen.For crossbowmen, it is not difficult to shoot the target at such a short distance.Arrows shot towards the target like raindrops, and many sand beast cavalrymen fell off their mounts in response, and fell to death without a sound.

The heavy crossbowmen under Roger are very lethal. Not only can the arrows shot easily penetrate the leather armor of the sand beast cavalry, causing fatal damage to them, but it can also pose a great threat to the sand beast itself.Many sand beasts also shot arrows, and they screamed and fell to the ground while running at high speed. Their huge bodies pressed down the knight on their backs heavily, and even if they did not die, they lost half their lives.After two rounds of arrows were fired, there were already many sand beast cavalry lying on the ground outside the castle.

Before that, the enemy had attacked Gettysburg several times, and knew the defense of Gettysburg very well.They thought that the soldiers in the castle had exhausted their arrows, and they should have fought back with all their strength under the javelin attack.However, the real situation is obviously very unexpected. Gettysburg's defense seems to be much stronger, and attacking in the original way is obviously self-defeating.

The enemy reacted quickly, and the horn sounded "Woo" in the distance, and an eagle flag decorated with colored stripes was waved quickly, which was particularly eye-catching against the background of the vast wilderness.

"What kind of flag is this?" Roger, who noticed this, casually asked Eaton beside him.

After witnessing how powerful Roger is, Yi Dun became more respectful to him, bowed his head slightly and said in a low voice, "This is the military flag of the coalition army of the desert country, and every legion has a flag. If you can get the military flag, it will be equal to An enemy’s legion is wiped out, and the military headquarters also calculates military merits according to the military flag!”

"That's it..." Roger looked at the military flag far away, rubbed his chin and said to himself: "It seems that I have to find a way to get dozens of noodles and take them back. When I go to Mandos City, people's faces will be bright!"

Eaton next to him was almost suffocated by Roger's words.Why take dozens of them back... This is the enemy's military flag, and every time a flag is taken, it means that thousands of enemies will be wiped out. How can it be so easy?But Roger didn't seem to be joking, and considering the various strengths he showed, maybe there is such a possibility.

Just when Yi Dun was thinking wildly, the sand beast cavalry had changed their attack method.They gave up the means of long-range attack, and directly drove the sand beast to rush towards the gap in the city wall.

The gap in the city wall of Gettysburg was also opened by the enemy before, and the previous attacks all took this place as the main direction of attack.As long as the gap in the city wall can be broken through, then Gettysburg cannot be defended, and it is difficult for everyone in the castle to survive.

Hundreds of sand beast cavalry rushed towards the gap in the city wall, and the momentum was very frightening.Before they rushed to the city wall, they had already let out a sharp howl, adding a bit of deterrence.

After seeing this scene, Yi Dun knew that something was wrong, so he quickly ordered loudly: "The third team goes to the gap, and we must hold it!"

Although there were already Roger's heavy spearmen behind the gap, Eaton still didn't quite trust these soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time.Seeing that the enemy's main force was rushing towards the gap, he still planned to send a team of soldiers to support it.

However, the speed of the sand beast cavalry was too fast, before the three groups of soldiers could arrive, the first wave of sand beast cavalry had already rushed to the gap.They screamed sharply while urging the sand beast to jump into the gap.The huge size of the sand beast combined with its extremely high speed was enough to knock the soldiers behind the gap into the air, and then rushed into the castle to start a killing spree.

However, how can the heavy spearmen be easily defeated?The few sand beasts running in the front had just jumped up, and dense spears had been erected behind the city wall, turning this seemingly weak gap into a forest of spears.

This sudden change shocked the sand beast cavalry, but at such a short distance, it was impossible for the running sand beast to stop or change direction.The sand beast cavalry shouted desperately and rushed towards the dense spear forest in front of them, only hoping to break through the spear array, so that their death would be meaningful.

After the soldiers shouted in despair and the sand beast hissed in pain, the two sides finally collided heavily.Under the huge impact of the sand beast cavalry, the formation of the heavy spearmen shrank back slightly, but finally withstood the enemy's attack.

It is almost impossible to break through the line of heavy spearmen formed in a tight formation.The charge of the sandbeast cavalry was almost a suicide act.In just a short while, the sand beast cavalry that launched the attack were all wiped out.In front of the gap in the city wall are all the corpses of sand beasts and cavalry, and the ground is soaked with blood.The heavy pikemen only paid the price of 16 killed in battle, and their defense line was still as impregnable as it was at the beginning of the war.

As soon as the opponent's commander wanted to capture Gettysburg, it was impossible, so he immediately gave the order to retreat, and the sand beast cavalry retreated into the distance like a tide.

Once again defending the castle, Eaton and his men couldn't help cheering.At this moment, two steeds rushed out from the gap in the wall, and the riders on the horses were Roger and Sophia.
