Chapter 47
Erickson, if it's a man, come out and speak. I swear in the name of my ancestors that I will never make a cold shot.
Skull Crusher McGee sneered, I always thought that you were the only one with eggs in the entire Bastille? I didn't expect that you were castrated at the critical moment. Could it be that the lives of thousands of your brothers are not as precious as your own? It's not worth your money. Come out and risk fighting for them?
This is a typical remark. It is unreasonable to bind the life of the Bastille soldier with Eriksson alone, but now is not the time to be reasonable. The Bastille soldier was blinded by a burst of arrows , although the sound of killing in the city was loud, but no one knew what was going on.
The city lord Bolton has not shown up for a long time, and people have to doubt what McGee the Skull Crusher said. After all, this attack is abnormal. The bull Eriksson has been hiding and not showing up. Will the Bastille soldiers Crashed on the spot, it's really hard to say.
Don't say that those Bastille soldiers who have been kept in the dark have no idea, even Eriksson the Bull, who participated in the decision-making from the beginning to the end, doesn't necessarily have a bottom line.
The risky plan of sneak attacking from the secret path is a surprise, coupled with a little bit of favorable time, place and people, once the victory is bound to be a brilliant victory.
The previous enemy's surprise attack on the Bastille was a typical example of this. If someone had known about it in advance, it would be beyond redemption.
If the enemy they are facing is still a reckless man like Skull Crusher McGee, Eriksson still has more than 60% confidence in the secret road surprise attack.
But now he has become a Sean Tang who doesn't know the depth, he has no bottom at all, how can a person who is good at surprise attacks not guard against this?
But the old Bolton, who was stubborn, was even more stubborn than him, and he ignored his dissuasion at all. The two agreed to use fire as a sign, and when they saw the inner castle on fire, he would lead the army to press up and attack from both sides.
As long as one side of the opponent's line of defense is torn apart, the opponent will undoubtedly be defeated. After all, the opponent is just a temporary army, and it is impossible to have too tenacious fighting power, let alone more than 2,000 slaves belonging to him. These well-bred dogs would never dare to bark their teeth at them.
After fighting for several days, I have never seen the slave army, which is the best proof. Maybe those soldiers are still imprisoned in some corner, lingering, living a life that is even more miserable than under their hands. Given the situation, these people might take advantage of the chaos and create more opportunities.
Judging from the posture of being prepared, the opponent has long been prepared, maybe this is a trap, waiting for them to jump into it.
Eriksson the Bull came out of the bunker, his thick and short figure was very eye-catching on the battlefield, he sneered and said, I don't have the slightest trust in the name and ancestors of your Skull Crusher, but I believe in my brothers, if you If you dare to contradict your promise, even if you are hard-hitting, my brothers will fight you to the end, even if you hit your head and bleed, you will not hesitate, am I right, and you are not dead!
Yes! All the Bastille soldiers shouted hoarsely. Among them, there is no shortage of veteran soldiers like Gould. The more confidence you have to speak.
Eriksson showed a satisfied smile, looked at the skull-crusher McGee on the head of the city, and said, You have nothing to prove, how can you prove that our city lord has fallen into your hands.
No need to prove it! McGee laughed loudly. Is it true? Others don't know, but you don't know? Do you really think how secret your mouse hole is? We found it the day after we took the Bastille. , just kept silent, just waiting for you to sneak in and catch you all! Did you see the big fire? It wasn’t you who set it up, it was us who set it up, and it was full of oil wood piled up there, it’s a big one, don’t say No matter how many people enter, they will all be turned into roast boars.
Speaking of joy, Skull Crusher McKee danced and spit, obviously pleased with himself.
It's over!
All the Bastille soldiers groaned in pain.
Compared with those lords and nobles with deep roots, the time for the Bacher family to rise is too short after all.
Old Bolton has a strong desire for control, always thinking that he can live for decades, and firmly holds the power in his own hands. Although he has many descendants, they have not been cultivated as early as those noble families with a long history. own heir.
Once old Bolton dies, the entire Batchel family will fall apart, where will they go?
The most terrible thing is that they are now blocked in the Andes Mountains, with no way to advance or retreat. They know how deep the hatred between Bastille and the Andes Mountain People is. Once they fall into the hands of the Andes Mountain People, there is absolutely no way It was a good day, and it was precisely because of this that they stayed together.
If you don't believe me, you can wait here and see if we can find his body after the fire dies. McGee the Skull Crusher sneered, I'll only give you one night to think about it. Surrender, I will personally lead my troops to kill you all.
Immediately, McGee disappeared on the top of the city on his own, along with his heavily armored barbarian army, but the Bastille soldiers knew that they didn't really disappear, but just sat back to save energy. That's all.
Damn it, telling a few lies is more tiring than having a real fight with that bull.
Skull Crusher McGee who came down from the top of the city was dripping with sweat. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ralph obviously saw that the other party was a little fluttering when he was walking.
What's going on with Tang? How long will it take? This side has temporarily bluffed, but I don't know how long it will last. It's really uncertain for me to take this group of recruits to defend the city.
If Eriksson the Bull knew the situation on the top of the city, he would definitely yell at him, because they saw the shadowy heavy armored barbarian at most one hundred guards, and the rest were pretended by the mountain people stepping on things Xibei goods.
As for the heavy arrows that pose a threat to them, they were shot empty in the wave just now, and they were rushed out in the past few days-the shafts of this kind of heavy arrows are not difficult to make, as long as they are made of suitable hardwood. Yes, with a little training, every Andes mountaineer is a master.
The problem is the arrow, half of the power of the heavy arrow is on this armor-piercing arrow, but there is no ready-made stock, and it needs to be made in a furnace.
Old Bolton's analysis was correct. The time to occupy the Bastille was too short, which was the Achilles' heel of Sean and the Skull Crusher coalition forces. It didn't take long. If Sean was given two months, with the few people in their hands, they would be able to even touch the Bastille. Without a chance to reach the city wall, he was shot into a sieve by Andis' long bow and arrow array.
Regardless of the number of people, it can be said that the defense of the city wall is the weakest moment. The Bull Eriksson really led his troops to attack desperately, and the outcome is two-sided.
After all, the time for recruiting the subordinate engineers of the Boys' Army is too short, and the long-range shooting is still decent, but the level of melee combat is really hard to say. It is not only a matter of melee combat ability, but the most important thing is the will to resist.
An army composed of mature slaves enslaved since childhood, after a short reorganization and guidance, how strong the will to resist is, Xiao En himself is not sure, this kind of matter involves life and death, and he dare not try it lightly.
Fortunately, Eriksson the Bull was bluffed by McGee the Skull Crusher, not because of his superb acting skills, but because Sean has been taking every step of the way during this time, walking ahead of them every step of the way. Sen left an indelible impression.
As soon as they charged on one side, a wave of heavy arrows fell on the other side, which knocked out most of the morale of the Bastille soldiers, and also caused Eriksson the Bull to enter a habit of thinking—they fell into the trap again.
Moreover, he has dealt with McKee the Skull Crusher for so many years, and he knows that the other party is a real fool. How could he have thought that such an honest person would be kidnapped and used for fraud? Death does not pay for life.
It's enough to bluff for a while, even if you don't believe in us or your brother's fighting power? When that stupid cow reacts, it will be too late!
Ralph was full of confidence. He was much calmer than McGee. Back then, he was the man who dared to sneak into the Bastille with his bare hands. In terms of courage, he was not afraid of anyone.
That's good!
It was said that McKee the Skull Crusher had grown more courageous, and couldn't help but look down the city frequently. There was still a suffocating silence outside. Eriksson the Bull didn't choose to attack, nor did he choose to retreat, it was just so silent stalemate.
Ralph grinned and said: A general should not be hesitant. He advances vigorously, and retreats in a uniform manner. Like this kind of non-advancement, sticky behavior, all kinds of fighters are delayed. Even if we rush up, it’s enough to go shopping at most, we can’t afford it, after so many years, so much blood has been shed, we’re not afraid of another night tonight.”
Skull Crusher McGee smashed his mouth and said: I'm not afraid that they will rush up, those guys below are scared to shrink their eggs, and they can't jump up and down. I'm just a little bit sorry, if my Skull Crusher Army , don’t need much, just need a school guard, rush outside, what do you think it’s like?”
The army is defeated like a mountain! Ralph and McGee laughed together, no matter how the reaction outside the city was, the result was the same - Burton Batchel was over.
As for the Skull Crusher Legion that McGee never forgets, it is naturally on Sean's side, and they are fighting a life-and-death battle with Old Bolton in Fort Bastille.
Sean is a human being, not a half-immortal, but he doesn't have the ability to calculate, and it is impossible to arrange everything. Although he guessed that there might be a secret passage in the Bastille, he failed to find it out.
Still the same sentence, they have limited personnel and limited time. Bastille said whether it is big or small. It is impossible to spend time and energy to investigate for an uncertain factor. It is only based on the possibility, roughly circled a range.
Moreover, there is no way to predict the time of the old Bolton's raid. As the saying goes, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth, and every time point can become the time of the opponent's raid.
As a passive defender, Sean can only wait in full force, maintain the highest vigilance, and even sleep with his eyes closed. You can imagine how deep the torment is. If the old Bolton has enough food and grass, he will fight like this. It could have knocked Sean down, too.
