MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 631 : The Fortress of Never Falling Falls
Castle of the Sissoko family.
Looking at the endless fields and the people retreating across the Yelin River one after another, Mikil on the city wall felt more and more powerless.
He is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Sissoko, and he was in charge of the Sissoko family when his grandfather and father set off on the expedition.
But right now, Mikel had no idea what to do or what to do.
During the crusade against the Red Scorpion Khanate, grandfather took away most of the family's private army, and now the Sissoko family has less than 2,000 troops, and most of them are militiamen.
An army of 250,000 orcs is about to capture Buluo Fortress, and the Hisok family, which guards the Yelin River, will become the second line of defense of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Facing the menacing army of orcs, what role can these two thousand people play?
"Boom..." The ground began to tremble slightly, and Mikil immediately became vigilant. This was only the movement of large-scale cavalry marching.
"Master Mikil, it's the southwest direction, flying the laurel flag, and it's the royal family's cavalry!" A retainer shouted joyfully.
At this critical juncture, the royal family can actually send a large number of cavalry to support their Sissoko family?
Mikil didn't believe it anyway, and he didn't relax his vigilance because of this. Instead, he closed the city gate and waited for the cavalry to arrive.
Thousands of cavalry rushed to the front of the castle, looking at the Cisco Family with its gates closed, the leading knight took off the fully enclosed helmet and revealed his appearance.
It was Sir Ferry who volunteered!
"I'm Sir Ferry, open the door!" Looking at Mikkel and the others on the city wall, Sir Ferry said with a cold face.
Mikil breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen the old knight more than once, so even though his appearance was much older, he could barely recognize him. He quickly ordered: "Open the city gate and let them enter the city."
The winch turned the iron chain, and the heavy city gate was slowly lowered, allowing the officers to place soldiers outside the city. Sir Ferry led Bronco and others into the castle.
"How much stockpile do you have in your family?" Sir Ferry asked directly when they met.
"It's enough to equip thousands of elite soldiers, but we don't have enough manpower to use them." Mikil was a little dazed by this question.
Shouldn't we ask how many troops they have left? What's the use of just asking about armaments?
"Marquis Simon, prepare to stop the orc army here. I need all the armaments you have stored." Sir Fiery stared straight into Mikkel's eyes.
"What? It's crazy to stop the orc army here, how many of you are there?" Mikil blew up when he heard it.
How many armies are there in the current Silver Moon Kingdom? Not at all, the qualifications to fight the orcs head-on!
"Yes, you heard that right, it is the section of the Yelin River in front of your castle, this is the narrowest part of the entire river, if all the bridges are destroyed, the orcs can only go here if they want to cross the river quickly!" Fei Li Jazz looked at the castle in admiration.
It has to be said that the ancestors of the Sissoko family did have the foresight to build a castle in this kind of place. As long as the bridges in other places are destroyed, the enemy will have to go here.
This is quite a disguised second line of defense for the Silver Moon Kingdom. Although this line of defense is relatively simple, it is enough to give them a certain geographical advantage.
"How many people do you have? Are you confident to win?" Mikkiel asked with a frown.
Simon was a student of the same class as him, but because of the differences in the colleges, the two of them had little contact with each other, but they were fairly familiar with Harris, Guy and others.
Judging from what I've heard, the Marquis Simon has so many deeds that I can't finish talking about it in a day... although many of them were added by the bard himself.
But what is the specific ability, without personal contact, Mikil really dare not draw conclusions.
"With less than 50,000 people, as for whether we can win? Anyway, Marquis Simon said that if we fight, there may be a chance of a comeback, but if we don't fight, we will definitely lose!" Sir Ferry shrugged indifferently.
Anyway, he didn't care about anything anymore. The only purpose this time was to avenge his family with a few orcs.
Mikil frowned deeply, this answer is not reliable enough...
"I will give you the extra armaments, but I will not let the soldiers of the family go to war." Mikil sighed helplessly. There were only so many old people left in the family, and he didn't dare to take risks.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the armaments are given to us, as for your militiamen..." Sir Ferry glanced around and sighed inwardly.
It's not that he doesn't look down on these people, but these two thousand mobs are really useless in the face of the fierce and brutal army of orcs.
"What's the situation in Buluo Fortress?" Sir Ferry looked to the northwest with a sad look in his eyes. He knew that his family members were trapped there waiting to die, but there was no way to save them.
Looking at this sad old man, Mikil couldn't bear it, but he still told the truth: "It's very bad, the orcs launched an all-out attack today, most of the main castle has fallen, and the remaining defenders are fighting with the orcs at most. Tomorrow morning, Buluo Fortress will fall completely."
"Tomorrow morning...very good. At that time, our army will arrive here on time." Sir Ferry buried all his sorrow in his heart, pretending to be calm.
After breaking through the Buluo Fortress, the orcs will definitely rest and reorganize. In addition to the time required for the march, they should be able to complete all preparations here.
The time for the decisive battle is coming. Whether the Silver Moon Kingdom will live or die depends on this battle!
"Bronco, you go and challenge the orcs and tell them that we are waiting here!"
"If they don't want to fight, then according to Marquis Simon's strategy, continue to go north to block their retreat until our reinforcements arrive and eat them from the inside out!"
"At that time, no matter what they did in Silvermoon Kingdom, we will repay them doubly!" Sir Ferry said viciously.
"Yes!" Bronco rushed towards the orc army alone, holding the laurel flower flag representing the royal family.
…
boom! boom! boom!
In the cellar of the castle, all the women and children hiding here trembled when they heard the orcs slamming on the door of the inner hall.
"Ma'am, the regiment leader said that the gate is about to be broken." A soldier came to report.
"I see." Kana sighed, is it finally the last moment?
After the soldiers left, she looked at the thousands of women and children in the cellar, and said, "Everyone, if you don't want to be humiliated, please kill yourself!"
Hearing these cruel words, everyone wept in a low voice. No one wanted to die, but they had no way to fight against fate.
Either choose to commit suicide, or choose to live worse than death!
Some mothers took out poison, stuffed it into the child's mouth, poisoned the child to death with their own hands, and then committed suicide, but some people took chances and did not have the courage to take the poison in the end.
Lindy, Sir Ferry's great-granddaughter, is one of them.
When she came to her daughter, Kana said sarcastically, "I won't force you, but you have to understand how stupid the decision you made is!"
"Mother, please, I'm still young, I don't want to die! There must be a secret passage in the castle, right? Let me escape through the secret passage, please?" begged.
"There is no secret passage, and the Buluo Fortress is a place of death, how could there be a secret passage for people to escape, my dear daughter, drink the poison!" Kana gave her final advice.
"No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, even if I endure humiliation, I still want to live!" Lindy broke down completely and burst into tears.
"Idiot, do you really understand what kind of humiliation you will suffer?" Kana shook her head with a wry smile, not caring about her daughter, and drank the poisoned wine in her hand.
boom! The bumper finally smashed through the door of the inner hall.
Legion leader Delrin led the last few hundred soldiers to fight bravely with the orcs who poured into the inner hall of the castle, but bravery could not change the gap in numbers, and they were soon submerged in the tide of the orc army.
After finishing the last defenders, after months of hard work, the orcs finally took down the Fortress of Buluo, and hid in the cellar. Women and children who did not have the courage to commit suicide were also pulled out
"Warrior Battle, what should we do with these people." Looking at the tender human woman, the orc soldier asked, licking his lips.
"Kill all the children, women, handle it yourself!" Battelle replied without thinking.
Before breaking through the main castle, they had already broken through all the frontiers and sub-forts, and they were tired of playing with human women these days.
With Battelle's permission, these orc soldiers rushed forward with grinning grinning, smashed the child to the ground and fell to death, and dragged the women to the corner.
"No, I'm the daughter of the legion commander. I have a noble status. You can't treat me like this!" Lindy kept struggling in the hands of an orc.
"Oh, the daughter of the legion commander, huh, that's really a distinguished lady! Leave this to me!" Bartle suddenly became excited again.
The defenders who have not fallen into the fortress these days have caused them a lot of trouble. Of course, he must take good care of Guan Ai, the daughter of the leader of the human army.
Battle grabbed Lindy's hair and walked straight into the empty room. Her resistance and struggle could not shake the chief warrior of the orcs at all.
Not long after, the sound of clothes being torn and a girl crying came from the room.
After finishing the work, Battelle got dressed and walked out of the room, and said to the soldiers under him, "Throw her into the barracks, and let the brothers play as they want!"
The orc soldiers smiled, and after Battelle left, they flooded into the room one after another. Among the captured human women, this girl was the best.
…
In the big tent of King Khan, several soldiers turned Bronco to the old King Khan.
Looking at Yona who was chained in the camp, Bronco was startled and ran over to pay homage, but the orc soldiers knelt down in front of the old Khan.
"I heard that you are the envoy of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Are you finally begging for mercy?" The old Khan looked at Bronco with a smile on his face. He liked human daydreaming.
"No, I'm here to challenge you on behalf of Marquis Simon!" The king's desolate situation made Bronco glaring at the old Khan angrily.
"Oh, afternoon?" The old Khan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Does the Silver Moon Kingdom still have the power to fight?
"Yes, Marquis Simon has led the army and arrived at the Yelin River, hoping to fight you there to the death, so I asked you if you dare to fight?" Bronco said with a sneer.
Jona, who was ashen-faced, had a gleam in his eyes after hearing Bronco's words.
Simon? If there is anyone who can save the Silver Moon Kingdom now, then perhaps it is only this kid!
"Why should I fight him decisively? I have an advantage in strength. I can completely spread out the army, burn your towns, and kill your civilians. Do you dare to divide your troops to stop it?"
The old Khan completely dismissed this, which is different from the Silver Moon Kingdom's conquest of them.
At that time, they controlled every move of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and they also had an advantage in military strength, so the behavior of the Silver Moon Kingdom's division of troops was completely courting death.
But at this time, the main force of the Silver Moon Kingdom was exhausted, and even if they managed to gather a fighting army, it would be a mob at most.
Once the troops are divided to stop them, the scattered orc soldiers will only eat them up bit by bit.
So, why should he be led by the nose by the enemy?
"Master Simon said that he has destroyed all the bridges on the Yelin River. If he wants to cross the river quickly, he can only go to the narrow river where his troops are stationed."
"If you cross the river from other places, then he will lead the army to continue northward, block the Buluo Fortress, block your retreat route, and then eat you with the reinforcements. At that time, all your atrocities in the Silver Moon Kingdom will be punished by him." They will be doubled and returned to the Red Scorpion Khanate." Bronco continued with a sneer.
This time, the old King Khan was not so calm, his eyes narrowed, and he looked deeply at Bronco.
Silvermoon Kingdom, this is another ruthless person after the sixteenth king! No matter how many troops there are in the Silver Moon Kingdom, he is not afraid at all, but he is afraid of such ruthless people.
Because you never know how many vicious strategies he can come up with, just like his strategy of burning the farmland and letting the Silver Moon Kingdom attack and destroy itself.
"Oh, since you want to fight us decisively, then Marquis Simon must have a lot of confidence! How many people do you have?" The old Khan tentatively asked.
"Less than fifty thousand!" Bronco replied truthfully.
"Less than 50,000?" The old Khan was stunned, and the orc generals in the camp burst into laughter. With this little force, do you want to fight them head-on?
"Silver Moon King, your Marquis Simon, it seems that he is not only a genius~www.novelbuddy.com~ but also a lunatic!" Turning his head to look at Jona, the old Khan sneered.
Yona, who was chained, slowly opened his eyes: "A genius? Or a lunatic? Go try it, and you'll know."
"Hmph! Go back and tell your Marquis Simon that we have accepted this letter of war! I want to see how he will use 50,000 people to defeat our 200,000 army!"
Seeing that there was no useful information, the old Khan looked at Bronco again and snorted dissatisfiedly.
Bronco broke free from the control of the orc soldiers, glanced at the chained king, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.
With his own power alone, there is no way to rescue the king from the orc army. Only by completely defeating the orc army can they have the possibility of saving the king.
"Bronco Knight!"
Just as Bronco was about to leave, Yona suddenly spoke with trembling lips and said, "Tell Simon to take care of Irina."
"I will, Your Majesty!" Bronco nodded heavily, then suppressed his anger and left here.
Watching Bronco leave, the old King Khan's face darkened again, and he ordered: "Let the army rest for another day, and send scouts to investigate the specific situation of the Marquis Simon!"
Orc soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Even if humans have better weapons and equipment, humans will definitely lose in a battle with the same number of people.
With 50,000 people, trying to defeat them with 200,000 people is simply a daydream.
However, this is something that children understand, and the old King Khan didn't believe that the Marquis Simon would not know, and he really didn't dare to engage in this decisive battle without finding out the strength of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
At this time, the army led by Simon was still on the road, and this suspicious gauntlet bought them some precious time.
