Chapter 209
However, facing the whistling arrows, Hod on the wall did not move.
Nott, Kuhn and other robber leaders beside him quickly raised their shields and closely guarded him on both sides to shield him from possible fatal shots.
For a moment, the entire wall was filled with the sound of crossbow shooting, and there were sharp and piercing whistles and dull "dodo" sounds in the ears, which were the impact sounds made by arrows hitting shields or walls.
However, compared with robber leaders like Nott who have the strength of the fifth level, the robbers below the fourth level are obviously much more difficult.
Due to their relatively weak strength, they have involuntarily taken a small step back in the face of such a dense crossbow attack.
"Swoosh... swoosh..."
Hod looked down through the gap in the shield.
These Kuyer cavalrymen are indeed a brave nation born on horseback.
They rode their war horses and dodged flexibly, avoiding the dense crossbow arrows that kept coming from above. At the same time, they could take advantage of the gaps between dodging to launch counterattacks from time to time.
At this time, the situation on the wall became not optimistic.
Although the conscripted crossbowmen shot hard, some of them were unfortunately hit by the arrows flying from below, and fell under the wall with screams.
The bodies of the crossbowmen who died from arrows were quickly dragged away by the new recruits below, and those who were still alive were quickly taken to the other side for emergency bandaging and treatment.
At this time, four raiders who had long been unable to suppress their inner impulses ran up with grassland recurve bows in their hands, led by Batu and Ashilan.
They swiftly shuttled under the shields raised by the robbers, searching for their targets. Once they found the targets, they immediately raised their hands to pull the strings and shoot arrows. The whole action was done in one go, and they didn't even need to aim, relying entirely on their personal eyesight and feel.
You know, the raiders have a level 5 strong bow skill, plus their 280-point bow and arrow proficiency, which is enough to make every arrow they shoot hit the target with a high hit rate.
Not to mention Batu and Ashilan, who have higher strong bow skills and bow and arrow proficiency.
With the strong addition of these six sharpshooters, the number of the originally aggressive Kuyel cavalry below began to decrease sharply.
If they were not advanced soldiers, the grassland recurve bows in their hands had a fast shooting speed, and with their amazing hit rate, in less than ten minutes, more than a dozen Kuyel cavalry were shot down by them.
And they made the same choice as Orville, giving priority to shooting those armored cavalry wearing chain mail and red tassels.
Under their precise shooting, the aggressive Kuyel cavalrymen below gradually fell into chaos.
The arrows they shot were no longer as dense as before, but became scattered, and the threat to the people on the wall was instantly reduced by half.
After several rounds of mutual shooting, the Kuyel youth in the distance finally realized that something was wrong.
His face became more and more distorted, like an angry beast.
He gave orders to the three knights wearing white tassel armor beside him with a ferocious look, ordering them to lead the remaining Kuyel cavalry to participate in the attack.
The three white tassel armored knights knew that the young man in front of them was of noble status. Although they had some concerns and helplessness in their hearts, they had to obey the military order.
However, for safety reasons, one of the white tassel armored knights chose to stay and guard the young man's side, just in case.
The other two shouted loudly, waving their weapons, and led the remaining Kuyel cavalry to rush towards the stronghold.
"Orville! Nott!"
Seeing the enemy's support rushing over, Hood on the wall immediately reminded everyone loudly, indicating that everyone should do their best to deal with the upcoming fierce attack.
Sure enough, when the two white-tasseled armored cavalry led the remaining Kuyel cavalry to support, the Kuyel cavalry, who had already been somewhat demoralized, seemed to have received a shot of cardiotonic and regained their spirits.
They screamed and increased the intensity of their shooting again. For a time, the shouts shook the sky, and the situation on the battlefield became more and more tense.
The first two red-tasseled armored cavalry who attacked saw the support coming, roared, and then abandoned the horn bow in their hands, quickly drew out the scimitar from their waists, raised their hand shields, and rushed straight towards the stronghold.
"Kill them! Don't let them get close!"
Seeing the two heavily armored red-tasseled armored cavalry approaching, Hood roared.
"Understood!"
After hearing Hod's order, Nott, Monklon and others responded in unison.
Then, they all reached out and pulled out the javelins they carried on their backs, and then used all their strength to aim at the two people rushing towards them.The Red Tassel Armored Cavalry threw fiercely.
For a moment, several javelins whistled out with a sharp sound, as if they were going to tear the air apart.
However, something unexpected happened. Although the javelin attacks of Nott and others were swift and fierce, only one Red Tassel Armored Cavalry was hit and threw down fiercely.
Another Red Tassel Armored Cavalry used his shield to block all the javelins that attacked him.
Unfortunately, after this resistance, the shield in his hand finally couldn't withstand such a strong impact and was completely broken, turning into a pile of broken fragments scattered all over the ground.
At this point, the Red Tassel Armored Cavalry only had the scimitar tightly held in his hand.
But at this time, more than a dozen Kuyel tribe warriors followed closely behind, and like a group of beasts in desperate situation, they launched a fearless charge towards the stronghold.
Although several people were hit by crossbows and javelins shot from the wall and fell to the ground during the charge, there were still seven or eight tribal warriors who successfully rushed to a place only seven or eight meters away from the stronghold.
But no one expected that the scene that happened next would make everyone on the wall stunned.
Those tribal warriors who had rushed to the nearby area took off the rope hooks from their saddles one by one, and then used all their strength to throw them onto the wall and hang them firmly.
Then, they decisively turned their horses' heads, roared loudly, and drove the horses under their crotch to gallop wildly.
It seemed that they wanted to use the horsepower to pull down the wall in front of them.
Only a series of teeth-grinding "creaking...creaking..." sounds were heard continuously.
The originally stable wall actually began to shake slightly, and with a series of crisp cracking sounds, shocking cracks gradually appeared on the wall.
"Oh no! The wall is going to collapse, go down!! Go down!! Quickly!!!"
Hood, who was standing on the wall, saw this scene, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He knew very well that the wall of this stronghold was built very simply and could not withstand such a strong pulling force. If he did not evacuate quickly, it would not take long for the whole wall to collapse.
