Chapter 226: Battle of the Wall

"Why haven't we taken it yet?" Pero was a little bit unbelievable.

His original plan was to arrive in the morning and take down the defense line without any effort.

Use the food here to make fire and cook. After preparation, break through the village of Crescent Territory in one fell swoop. After eliminating the main resistance force, destroy the iron mine of Crescent Territory in one fell swoop.

But now there is a problem with the first link.

It's almost time for dinner, and this line of defense has not been taken down yet.

It was easy to storm the wall; there were too many of them.

It can even be said that they had already occupied the city wall, but the problem was that they could not immediately kill or capture all the soldiers who were relying on a fort and resisting stubbornly.

The resistance was too great.

There was a thin layer of blood on the city walls, and broken limbs and corpses were everywhere, but even now, the other side still showed no signs of retreat.

If they didn't kill these people, they would neither be able to make a fire and cook nor pass through in peace.

There were at most a hundred people on the other side, could there be only thirty left? Why didn't they surrender yet? He had sent people to tell them many times that they would be treated well if they surrendered.

After fighting to this point, the lord could never blame them if they surrendered.

But no one surrendered.

There is not a single weak one.

Several soldiers guarding the entrance of the fort had so many wounds on their bodies that one could already see the bones inside and even the internal organs squirming in their chests and abdomens.

The blood gushed out like a fountain or even spurted out.

But even so, they will not stop resisting until they fall down, until they can no longer stand up, until they can no longer even crawl on the ground.

Pero felt that even cultists and fanatics would not have such a will to fight.

Why was that? Perot even had the illusion that he would never be able to break through this line of defense.

After a while, the sky had begun to darken.

Some of the knights besieging this place could not bear it anymore and vomited.

No one understood why these people could still fight.

At this time, Serai had already fallen down, and the skin on his fingers had been torn due to pulling the bowstring too many times.

Moreover, due to going to the door of the dock many times to fill the vacancies caused by the fall of his companions, he had countless wounds on his body.

Now he has fallen to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Serai's deputy was still awake, and he looked at the sky.

Before Serai fell, the order was to delay for a full half day before allowing surrender.

Now the time has come.

The deputy grinned. Because he had been hit hard in the face when he went to fill the gap at the door, blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, and several of his teeth were broken.

Now when I grin, I can still see the air leaking from my lips and teeth.

But this did not affect his order.

The deputy ordered the white flag to be raised instead of Serai, who had fallen and was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

When Perrault saw the white flag, he was stunned. He thought these people would never surrender.

After hearing the report, Pero climbed up the city wall himself and went to the front of the fort to take a look at the flag raised from it, which was more like a blood flag than a white flag.

Perot didn't feel like he had won. He didn't even feel like these people were surrendering. Rather, he felt like they were showing off.

Seeing the enemy's main general appear, Serai's deputy walked out of the fortress by himself and said a few words in a humming voice.

Because of the air leakage from the teeth, the sound is also very unclear.

Perot had great respect for these people and walked closer to listen to the deputy speak.

Pero's guards were concentrating on preventing the bloody man with many of his teeth missing from suddenly attacking.

As he got closer, Perrault finally heard what the man was saying.

"I demand - to be taken with us our weapons and armor, our banners, and the bodies of our companions."

"otherwise--"

“We will resist to the end.”

This is more of a threat than a surrender.

Pero's blood boiled and he felt humiliated.

But Perrault looked up at the sky.

It's getting a little dark.

Among these garrisons on the resistance line, there would definitely be no more than thirty people who could stand up.

And Pero's army still has two thousand people.

Theoretically, he could easily crush these people.

But he thought the same thing this morning.

He didn't know how long these people, who were less than thirty years old and not sure whether they were human or not, could resist.

If we delay any longer, it will be dark.

It was impossible to march after dark, and Perrault was quite sure that these people must have arranged for someone to go back and report the news.

If we delay it overnight, until tomorrow morning, Rand's main force may have arrived.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, according to Pero's judgment, Rand could only muster a force of 800 men at most, many of whom should be new recruits or conscripts.

His Pero forces were still overwhelming.

But after seeing these people on the defense line, Pero really had no confidence in defeating Rand head-on.

The most important thing to remember when marching and fighting is not to act on impulse. Perrault was furious, but he kept reminding himself.

If they continue to delay for a while, its strategy may fail completely.

Although Perot felt humiliated, he felt that these people had completed their mission and were showing off in front of him.

But Perot agreed.

It was agreed that these people would leave with their weapons, armor, flags, and the bodies of their companions.

I watched these people load the bodies into the car and walk back, supporting each other.

Perrault ordered a fire to be lit and a meal to be prepared.

Now the soldiers are hungry and tired. If they are not in good condition, they will be more likely to reveal their flaws and it will be more difficult to achieve results.

Now Pero has abandoned all his illusions and must believe that his enemies are countless times more difficult than he imagined.

As for those who had lost their fortifications, Perrault did not break his promise and attack.

One is that he can't afford to delay even a minute, and the other is that although he is angry, he has to admit that these soldiers deserve respect.

The same is true for Pero's infantry and the Flying Fox Army. The soldiers are the ones who can most feel the power of these people.

If he breaks his promise, his subordinates will look down on him as a commander.

Pero quietly waited for the soldiers to have their meal behind the city wall. Now every second counted. He had to capture the enemy's main village before it got completely dark.

…

At this time, Fenris had returned to Crescent Territory.

He took out the "Reference" and pointed to a passage on it.

There is only one copy of "Reference", and it is basically either in Fenris's hands or in Taner's hands. "Reference" has not been printed, and the soldiers in the hideout are all studying "Required Course in War Science".

At this time, Fenris and Taner came together, pointed to the extra words on it and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Tao means to make the people and their superiors agree with each other, so that they can die with them and live with them, and they will not fear danger."

Taner looked at the words and replied, "This is newly added by the Rand God Envoy. It means that you must be consistent with the will of your warriors and the people, so that they will share life and death with you."

Rand always liked to say strange things like this, and Taner wouldn't have understood it if Rand hadn't explained it to him personally.

Maybe Rand thought this was very handsome. In Taner's eyes, Rand always had strange hobbies.

"That's understandable." Fenris rubbed his well-groomed beard and nodded in approval, "But how can we make them agree with the leader?"

Taner thought for a moment and said, "I think everything that Rand has done so far is to be consistent with the wishes of his subordinates. As for what specific things have what effect, I don't quite understand."

py one!! Woohoo, finally someone has a similar theme to mine and py me, but it's a female lead story. If you like it, you can take a look at "Lord of the Apocalypse: Starting from the Zerg Queen". Lord Farming, here you can see the past and present life of the universe's Zerg, the origin of the war-mongering witch tribe, the rise of the sea, and the birth of the behemoth...
