Release that Witch Chapter 872: The final charge

The Boulder Cannon did not fire a second shell after all.

In order to facilitate the operator to observe the enemy and the impact point, Duke built six high platforms in the city for cannon and trebuchet. In other words, they must be higher than the walls, and any action of the other side cannot escape the eyes of the attackers.

This is a fool-proof choice. A high-minded perspective will not only bring better firing efficiency, increase the range of artillery shells and stone throws, but also give the enemy a strong sense of oppression.

But in front of the incredible cannon of the Roland army, the high platform instead became a striking target.

William felt for the first time that a quarter of an hour was so long.

The explosions on the walls seemed to stop.

As the soldiers tried to reload snow powder, a shell landed on the right platform.

In a flash, a bright sun appeared on the countertop, together with a huge megalithic cannon and more than 20 people, absorb, and then the bright red flames turned into countless tentacles, rushing in all directions, the buildings in the city were A severe tremor caused a yellow dust.

A broken piece of bronze pipe flew out of the flame, crashed into the side of another high platform, fell straight to the ground, and fell into a group of citizen carrying stones. At this moment, the physical body showed its fragility and weakness. When the barrel stopped rolling twice, there was a puddle of red-brown mud on the ground. And those unlucky ghosts who have crushed their hands and feet and have not lost their breath, screaming at their broken limbs, hoping that someone can give them a happy moment.

But William can't take care of them at this moment.

Watchtower is also a conspicuous target for the enemy. As soon as the wall turned into a sea of ​​fire, the nobles lost their courage to watch and retreat as soon as possible. This decision was obviously correct. The speed of the opponent's shelling was far beyond everyone's imagination. Almost every tenth breath, a round of shells landed, the accuracy of the hit was getting higher and higher, and the surrounding area of ​​the city wall became an extremely dangerous zone.

At first, there were fireballs rising outside the city. After that, they all smashed into the city and moved towards the high platforms and the city gate entrance. The smoke in the city was rolling, fragments was flying, the roar mixed with wailing, like a scene in hell.

When the enemy finally stopped firing, the six high platforms were completely destroyed, and city gate was also blown open.

According to the plan, Duke's soldiers should immediately drop the iron fence or broken dragon stone to block the entrance to the city and prepare for blocking, but after such a terrible bombardment, it is no longer necessary to keep their posts. Actual requirements. The flames flowed along the grease, and scorched corpses can be seen everywhere on the city wall. Even if someone escaped by accident, they completely lost the courage to fight, not to mention those citizen who had been forcibly recruited.

Everyone who can run is completely run, the rest is either scared and lost, or seriously injured, unable to escape.

William didn't expect it to fail so fast, although it thought it would fail.

The defense line collapsed across the line without hurting the opponent. What did Roland do in the past two years?

"Sir, this ... can't fight ..."

"Let's surrender."

"Yeah, surrender does not mean giving in, we can look for other opportunities."

"That's right, as long as they stay in eastern region, this feud will be reported sooner or later."

"If Timothy Your Majesty is here, you will certainly not blame you. You have tried your best to blame the enemy for being too cruel."

William was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Kalina.

The latter pushed back a burning wooden beam in order to protect him when retreating. The scattered charcoal burned her hair and left two black marks on her face. Even so, her eyes were as bright as before, without any frustration or embarrassment, "I listen to you."

Duke took a deep breath, "You surrender."

"Sir ... what about you?"

"I prepared for two years, not to leave a name without a fight," he said slowly, "we must make Roland understand that powerful military force cannot conquer everything, and Timothy Your Majesty also has fearlessness. vassal.Kalina, where is my Knight group? "

Chief Knight did not hesitate to say, "All are on standby in the second ambush zone."

"No need to hide, let them all come to city gate." William commanded, "Viscount Arleighburke, remove all the traps you prepared."

"Withdraw? Why?" The nobles were surprised.

"You ca n’t stop the enemies by just those gadgets. It ’s better to let them come in and come to a decisive charge. At this point, someone must explain." Duke found that when the last moment came, he was surprised No matter how calm it is, this scene will be written into history books, and he can be worthy of Your Majesty.

...

After one hour, the Roland's army finally appeared at the gate of the city wall. Their actions seemed very cautious. A team first dismantled the damaged door panels and occupied the entrances on both sides. The follow-up troops followed up. Upon entering the city, they quickly piled up a simple camp in the middle of Long Street, and two strange firearmss were pushed to the front.

William no longer cares what the other party is about to do, he lifts the reins, and takes the Knight slowly out of the street corner, lined up along the street.

Seven Knight and fifteen squire are his final counterattack power.

This also convinced Duke of the necessity and superiority of the noble system.

In the face of such desperation, summons courage can launch an attack on the enemy, and only noble can understand what loyalty, honor and responsibility are.

He pulls his armour, sets up a spear, and faces a growing number of invaders, exhales.

"Although we have failed today, history will not forget us. Everyone's name will become a poem and be chanted in the ballads. Take the courage and fight fearlessly to the last minute! Borg's Knight , Follow me! "

"Missing!"

William waved the reins, led everyone to accelerate along the long street, and launched a final sprint towards the enemy position.

The billowing smoke and unextinguished flames have become the best embellishment on the battlefield. For a moment, Duke felt that this was the right place for him.

The charge distance was shortened to half quickly, and the horse speed was also mentioned as the highest, but he did not hear the sound of horseshoes drumming behind him. Looking back, William could not help but startled him. He was surprised to find that more than twenty people who had rushed out at the beginning had disappeared and were still with him, leaving only Kalina.

This street is not just one road. It connects many forks and alleys. At that moment, William understands the cause and effect.

Why ...?

He wanted to ask this sentence, but when looking at the emotional look of the female Knight, he suddenly felt that everything was important again.

It also seems like a good ending.

At least you are there, aren't you?

William smiled, pressed down the spear and aimed at the nearest enemy.

Then a heavy rain shower covered him.
