Chapter 314 Capture of Fort Garmitch
Due to the rugged terrain and the towering walls of Fort Garmitch, the long ladders could not be erected, so the siege ladder vehicle could only be built, and it took two days to complete the construction under the condition that the craftsmen were quite capable.

Zhang Qiang drove his horse to a stone's throw away from Fort Garmick.

Why is it a stone's throw?

Because it has been like this since ancient times, if you run into the range of a bow or crossbow, aren't you looking for death!

Lesarite and Zhang Qiang rode side by side, keeping half a horse's head behind Zhang Qiang.

"My lord, according to the intelligence feedback, the enemy's troops guarding the castle are about 100 cannon fodder recruits, as well as more than 20 crossbowmen from the Kingdom of Swadia, and several knights. The leader is Sam Knight."

Zhang Qiang looked at the enemy's city gate, "Sam, it's an old friend,"

He called to the enemy's gatehouse, "Sam Knight, an old friend is visiting."

On the top of the city gate, a tall and stalwart figure leaned out, and shouted with a rough voice: "I saw it, Knight Zhang Qiang, I didn't expect that we would meet like this one day. Are you planning to attack Fort Garmich, which I am defending?" ?”

"Sam, where is James?" Zhang Qiang ignored his question.

"James, it turns out that you are looking for him. I am sad. I think of the days when we fought against the Dark Knight outside the village of Amir, and how hard it was for us to fight side by side in Tilburg. Forget it, happy days."

"It's really pleasant, isn't it?"

"But you are coming to attack our Fort Garmitch today. Seeing that you are strong and strong, have you forgotten the kindness of Earl Plais to you?"

"Without him, you wouldn't be where you are today."

"Sam, you are old and young. The laws of the Calradia continent are like this. It is very common for a father and son to appear on the same battlefield at the same time, but they belong to two hostile kingdoms. Is this possible? Will it affect their father-son relationship? I hope that we are in different camps and different positions, which can only affect the hostile relationship between each other's armies, but not our mutual friendship."

"Zhang Qiang, I can't do it, but I can stop my mind from thinking about it. The soldiers under our command are all trained by us. They are dead. How can you and I turn a blind eye to this?"

It was Zhang Qiang who suddenly heard a reminder from the game ring, "Because the enemy used the division and disintegration tactics in the persuasion skill, your soldiers suddenly felt deeply after hearing it. They became overwhelmed and at a loss."

Zhang Qiang was taken aback for a moment, "Nimma, you also said that brotherhood is deep. This Sam looks honest and honest, but he didn't expect to have such insidious skills."

Immediately turned around, hit the horse and ran back to his camp, and ordered the soldiers to attack the city.

"Hahaha, Zhang Qiang, you've been tricked!" Sam laughed excitedly on the city gate tower.

Zhang Qiang shouted from a distance, "When I take down Fort Garmitch, let's chat again!"

Then he shouted to the soldiers around him: "Siege the city, let the infantry and crossbowmen go up the first wave. Shoot them dead."

For a while, Zhang Qiang's troops became busy.

Several siege ladder trucks were pushed out and slowly approached the walls of Fort Garmick.

A siege vehicle rushed towards the gate of the enemy's gate, driven by more than [-] recruits from the Swadia Kingdom and under the cover of several Sarande archers.

Fort Garmitch is close to the sea and the soil is soft. Even if it is a mountainous terrain, it can't hold much water. Therefore, there is no moat. This is one less procedure. In fact, most of the cities in Qiqi have no moats.

The enemy can directly attack the city without thinking about filling up the moat first to create an attack channel.

The main reason is that most of the cities are either not suitable for digging moats, or the nearby water sources are too scarce, how can there be water for you to build moats, and most of them are built on the halfway of high mountains, or on hills in flat and hilly areas. It is too far away from the place where the moat can be dug. If the moat is not covered by the city wall, its function will not be very good. The moat must be close to the city wall and within the range of the archers' cover, so as to deter and hurt the enemy and cause headaches for the enemy.

Part of the infantry began to stare at the shields, to withstand the enemy's crossbow fire, to provide shooting shelters and cover for the crossbowmen and archers.

The crossbowmen and engineers began to suppress the firepower of the crossbowmen at the head of the enemy's city, covering the siege ladder vehicles close to the city wall.

Zhang Qiang rode on a horse, walking around in front of the cavalry from time to time, anxiously waiting for the result of the first wave of soldiers' attack.

This kind of battle is too primitive and bloody for people in the real world.

The crossbowmen of the Swadia Kingdom on the enemy's city wall were obviously higher level than the crossbowmen sent by Zhang Qiang, and their skills were more exquisite. In addition, they had the advantage of height, long range and precision.

Zhang Qiang saw the archers shooting at each other because they were too close, and the archers had a short range, so they had to get closer.As a result, they were taken care of by the crossbowmen who had a long range. After a few shots, more than [-] archers lay down. It can be said that the entire army of archers was wiped out. Because the crossbowmen were at a disadvantage, they also lay down a few, even those Swadi The new recruits of the sub-kingdom, Danzi, had their shields shot to pieces one after another. They still stood there tenaciously, using their bodies to block the enemy's crossbow arrows. As a result, they lay on the ground clutching their chests in pain within a few strokes.

Most of them are clothed without armor.

Commoner's defense is too low.

And Zhang Qiang, the elite soldier in armor, was reluctant to waste it.

They are all stored in the back, and when waiting to charge, they are used to climb walls and kill enemies.

Soon, Zhang Qiang saw that the enemy's crossbow arrows were shooting sparsely, and the enemy's crossbow arrows were shot out, and there was a break.

Zhang Qiang decisively dispatched a second wave of first-order soldiers consisting of light infantry and guerrilla shooters to attack.

They continued to cover the advance of the siege ladder vehicles.

At this time, the rush car had been pushed under the enemy's city gate.

It is struggling to hit the iron gate outside the enemy's city gate.

The lost soldiers Zhang Qiang sent 20 strong heavy infantrymen of the Swadian Kingdom to get under the skin of the bottom of the ram to operate the ram. Attack of enemy crossbowmen.

After one hour, two hours, the siege transport truck finally successfully put the springboard on the enemy's battlements.

Immediately, the soldiers who were still shooting arrows and the infantry who were covering began to gather towards the ladder under the siege ladder vehicle, biting their weapons one after another, or climbing with the weapon and shield in one hand and the other in the other.

The crossbowmen suppressed and fired at the crossbowmen shooting arrows above.

As expected, the first wave of soldiers was wiped out, and they caused a lot of casualties to the enemy. When the enemy's reinforcements were not mobilized from other defensive positions, Zhang Qiang decisively sent out the third wave consisting of infantry and heavy infantry. , and some attack groups composed of Sarande Mamluk cavalry dismounted and launched an attack on the enemy.

Obviously, the enemy's tactical level is not as high as Zhang Qiang's, and at this time, the original soldiers who suffered heavy losses are still used to guard the city wall.

Two hours later, these reinforcements had reached the enemy's walls, and the battle was transferred from below to on the walls.

Zhang Qiang led the fourth wave of elite heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, knight cavalry, and knight attendants to move towards the city wall.

Only then did enemy reinforcements appear.

When climbing up the city wall, the battle on the city wall was over, the remaining soldiers of the first wave began to retreat, the soldiers of the second wave were still fighting persistently, and the soldiers of the third wave had already competed with the enemy for the stair passage below the city wall .

At this time, fighting is no longer entirely based on skill. The narrow stair passageway is crowded with soldiers from both sides. You push me, I push you, and the unlucky ones will be pushed off the city wall and fall under the city wall, right? If he broke his leg, he was pressed down and couldn't get up, and then the enemy went up and easily ended his life.

The soldiers on both sides hacked and killed on the stairs, you hacked me, I hacked you, it all depends on whose equipment is better, who can bear more.

Who has more troops.

Of course, for both arms, light infantry is definitely more durable than cannon fodder infantry. They have cotton armor or leather armor, while cannon fodder infantry only occasionally has one, and most of them are commoner.

It was like peeling the husk of the corn, stripping away the enemy's resistance layer by layer, and then the battle line was pushed down step by step, until a stairway was suddenly wiped out, and the enemy's reinforcements were interrupted, like a river breaking a bank , a river of Swadian light infantry mixed with infantry rushed into the enemy's castle.

Fighting became easier.

When the sun was setting, Zhang Qiang was already sitting in the hall of the Fort Garmitch castle. In the light of the huge oil lamps lit by olive oil around him, he was looking at Knight Sam who was tied up, rubbing his split gauntlet. The muscles below, exhausted, squinted at Sam Knight.

"Sam Knight, what else do you want to say?" Zhang Qiang asked proudly.

"Humph!"

"Pray for glory against the Lord!"

"I don't want to be with you like this!"

Zhang Qiang shook his head helplessly. He originally thought that when he captured the castle, Sam Knight would have a drink with him. Based on their previous relationship, he thought it should be so. However, this Sam Knight was like taking medicine. Just refuse to talk to him.

Chivalry has overflowed to such an extent.

Zhang Qiang has said it all, and he doesn't want to do this either. The two sides are good brothers, but each is their own master. He can't betray the Kingdom of Swadia. Let's go to Rhodok with Earl Plais. If he is his knight Of course, it was before, it is now, and it will be in the future. The problem is that his status has changed now. He is already an independent baron and lord of the title.

Apart from being lower than Earl Plais in terms of title and size of the territory, they are actually members of the aristocratic class.

It is impossible for him to run away with Count Plais, he has his own group of people to support and lead.

"Forget it, Sam Knight, let's go!"

Zhang Qiang waved helplessly, asking the soldiers to hand over Sam's weapons and horses to him, asking his servants to gather around him again, and letting him leave the castle.

went to find his master.

Before leaving, Sam Knight said to Zhang Qiang: "I will come back, and we will take back our castle."

Looking at the back of Sam Knight leaving, Ramosun said: "Master, you will let Earl Plais come back from a distance earlier, which will shorten our preparation time."

Zhang Qiang waved his hand indifferently, "Forget it, I came here to find people, and it was not my intention to lay down a castle. Letting them come to me is much better than I go to them, and the risk is not too big. If I go to Manchuria If the mainland goes to look for him, they may encounter many armies of the lord and fight many battles. There is a castle to rely on here. The food and supplies stored in the castle are enough for us to wait for my lord to return until the end of time. "

Zhang Qiang scanned the interior of the castle hall. Unfortunately, he is not an earl and cannot own the castle. King Halaus does not know who will grant the castle to him. He just won some honors and merits.

And maybe a little military money.
