Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 315: night raid

"This, this, my lord, what should I do? There are only less than 500 guards in this city, and they are all made up of some rural farmers. The number of veterans is less than one tenth. How can they resist Mayweather? Thousands of troops!

Wasn't he in Strahan before, why did he come to me? Lord, let's run away! "

Viscount Jewitt Busenger, the obvious owner of Fort Busenger, said that he was obviously panicked. There used to be only a hundred militia guards in Fort Busenger, but the current number of 500 is still the same as before. He was recruited from other places, and the military salaries were also paid by the state. After all, his subjects were only more than a thousand people, and he could not afford an army of five hundred people, and he would be bankrupt in less than a month.

Originally, Jewitt expected Aldridge to bring him some good news. It was best if the upper management suddenly found out in conscience, saw his difficulties, and decided to help him with some gold coins. This time, Aldridge did not bring any money. , Madden news to have one.

The walls of Fort Busenger are very thick and high, but they are too small. After Aldridge arrived with more than 600 cavalry, the castle immediately seemed crowded, and Aldridge even had to let the troops Stationed outside the city.

"Because he couldn't break Strahan, he came here. What are you afraid of? Didn't I bring someone to support you? Call your officers to come to a meeting, and we'll study how to defend now."

Seeing Jewitt's appearance, Aldridge couldn't help laughing out loud, and then said indifferently.

"But my lord, even with the 700 people you brought, the number of enemy troops is dozens of times ours. How can we hold on!"

Jewitt said with a bitter face, Aldridge suddenly turned pale, and then said:

"If you can't stand it, you have to keep it! Your Majesty will give you and me the heavy responsibility, and we must not let him down! If you are afraid, you can pack up and leave now. Mayweather will take a while to arrive. You still have Time to go! But don't expect me to hide from your Majesty's behavior of fleeing without a fight!"

"Don't don't, my lord, how can I leave? Busenger is my fief, and I will protect it no matter what! Don't worry, those soldiers under my command are at your disposal, and I will never cause you any trouble. !"

Jewitt's face changed in an instant, and he said with an apologetic smile. Aldridge just nodded, let him go, and then said:

"Take me to inspect the castle, I want to see the military geography here and the places we can use!"

"Okay, my lord, I'll take you there! This way, please!"

Jewitt led the way out, and then began to introduce as he walked:

"Bussenger Castle was built by my grandfather's grandfather. Due to geographical and financial reasons, it could only be built so large. Since its completion, it has been relying on collecting tolls from the caravans to maintain its living.

This is the warehouse. His Majesty, foresight, dispatched troops to increase troops and also hoarded a lot of arrows and other materials here, enough for the archers in the city to shoot for a month.

Food is also abundant, although most of them are different from stored air-dried food, only some locally produced dairy products are considered fresh.

This is the city gate. There is no gate, only an iron gate, but the design is different from other castles. The mechanism is under the city wall, in the extra square building over there.

These two pendulums are the only defensive equipment in the city. As long as the tied ropes are loosened, the two pendulums will fall from both sides and sweep away the ladders on the city wall. However, it is very troublesome to recover. A large number of people pull the pendulum back into position after pulling on the rope and then attach the new rope. "

"Okay, I probably know it all, go and call the officers to the meeting!"

Aldridge said that after walking around the castle, Aldridge already knew something about it. This small castle built in a mountain stream really has nothing to rely on for defense, and it is estimated that it will be a tough battle next.

The only important point is to ensure that the city gate is not lost. As long as the city gate is not lost, Aldridge has the confidence to stop them on the city wall.

After that, Aldridge held a brief meeting with the officers in the city, and called the soldiers in the city to do a mobilization. And immediately began to send additional guards on the city wall for 24 hours.

After fighting with Mayweather over this period of time, Aldridge has already had a preliminary understanding of Mayweather. He is a general who likes to use unexpected tactics or surprise attacks. Aldridge has been almost killed many times. He succeeded. With what he now knows about Mayweather, Mayweather will probably take a good rest at a distance they can't see, and then march directly to attack in the dark.

Therefore, Aldridge specially sent a lot of manpower to stand guard at night, and asked the soldiers to adjust their rest time and rest early to avoid being too tired at night and reducing their combat effectiveness. The Cavaliers lead the night shift to reduce the possibility of accidents.

The facts were not as expected by Aldridge. On the night of the third day, Mayweather's army carried black painted ladders and armored black smocks to sneak into Fort Busenger by the night. Attacked, but despite their good disguise ~www.wuxiahere.com~ the well-prepared defenders spotted them from a distance.

Seeing the dark objects moving in the distance, the officer guarding the city immediately realized that something was wrong. After picking up the binoculars to confirm, he immediately called the soldiers next to him and asked him to knock on the city wall. on the clock.

The long bell rang in the city, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the city woke up immediately. They all slept in lined armor, so many steps were omitted when wearing the armor, and the infantry with less equipment quickly put on the half-armor. , put on the helmet and lifted the spear and walked to the city wall. The knights helped each other to put on the complicated armor, and then also raised their weapons and ran to the city wall.

Aldridge didn't sleep. After hearing the bell, he immediately walked towards the city wall with the ghoul Lords standing silently in the barracks.

Hearing the bell, Mayweather's army also knew that they had been exposed, so instead of hiding, they sped up and sprinted directly. The arrows of the two armies also began to exchange in the dark night.

"Stay at your post, remember, the enemy needs to climb up the city wall, but we don't, this is our advantage, smash them with what you have in your hand, and smash them down!

Fight bravely to live longer! "

On the city wall, the officers kept running on the city wall to check whether all the posts were in place, and said loudly to the soldiers.
