I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 130 Battle of the City Wall

The next morning, Custanly began to prepare for a new attack. He knew that the enemy was ready, but he still believed that his army could win.

"Pass on my order. All troops must set out immediately. Today we must capture the Titanium Mine City in one fell swoop."

The soldiers acted quickly and began to advance towards the Titanium Mine City. This time, they adopted a more cautious strategy and carefully observed the surrounding environment on the way forward to avoid encountering traps again. However, despite this, they were still harassed by the enemy's crossbows and catapults, and their morale was slightly affected.

This time, Costanelli decided to adopt a relatively stable attack method. He ordered the cavalry to charge, hoping to use the advantages of speed and strength to disrupt the enemy's powerful crossbow attack. The entire battlefield was filled with deafening horse hoof sounds and shouts, which seemed to indicate that a fierce battle was about to begin.

At the same time, Custanly ordered his men to protect the soldiers with shields and try to fill the trenches little by little at a small cost. Finally, at noon, two straight roads were built, and the enemy could use the speed of cavalry to launch a charge.

However, Alpha, who was waiting in the Titanium Mine City, would not treat this as a simple defensive battle.

Phyllis and Alpha had already prepared new traps. They used huge obstacles and traps closely connected to build a perfect line of defense.

When Custanly's cavalry attacked the defense line of the Titanium Mine City, they encountered great resistance and the soldiers had to readjust their tactics.

Facing the enemies under the city wall, crossbows and bows and arrows were basically useless, and the soldiers could only throw down stones, gunpowder, and boiling water.

The enemy used a large shield for defense and used dog claws and human walls to climb up.

In the fierce fighting, both sides were furious, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us on the city wall. In order to win, the enemy used fire attack and smoke attack tactics to try to make the defenders on the city wall lose their combat effectiveness.

However, Alpha ordered his soldiers to boil a large amount of water and pour it over the walls, successfully suppressing the enemy's fire.

Although Custanly's army suffered heavy casualties in the battle, they did not give up and held out until the evening, when the fighting paused for a while.

During the night battle, Custanly changed his strategy. He ordered his soldiers to split into small teams and use the cover of night to sneak towards the Titanium City from the flank. Although this plan required more physical strength and energy from the soldiers, Custanly believed that this sneak attack method could effectively break the city.

The soldiers carefully avoided enemy patrols and traps and successfully entered the corner of the titanium mine wall. However, when they approached the wall, they encountered another trap prepared by Phyllis and Alpha. Alpha used huge traps and obstacles closely connected to build a defense line, and the soldiers had to choose to attack again.

During the siege, Custanly's army suffered heavy casualties, but did not give up.

The soldiers took advantage of the cover of night and continued to advance towards the Titanium Mine City. The battle did not truly stop until Alpha pushed the reserve troops to the front line and successfully repelled the fierce enemy attacks.

"Clean up the mess, rescue the wounded, repair the city walls, and burn all the enemy bodies outside the city." Alpha has now moved to the north gate and is taking turns commanding the battle with Liad.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy's attack is too fierce, you should go back." Phyllis immediately persuaded the soldiers when she saw them stop.

"Don't worry, the enemy's losses are at least three times ours." What Alpha said was true, but the enemy's losses were basically incurred before they climbed up the city wall. After climbing up the wall, the losses were not great.

"Go back quickly. Remember, your mission is to maintain stability in the city and be careful not to give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage."

……

"Sir, the price is too high. In two days, we have lost a thousand cavalrymen. If this continues, even if our cavalrymen are completely wiped out, we will not be able to capture this city!"

"Don't worry, we have already attacked the enemy's wall today. The defense on the enemy's wall is not strong. Tomorrow, your three divisions will give up attacking the other three gates, and we will all attack the north gate. We can definitely take it down in one fell swoop." Costanelli seemed to see the dawn of victory.

"Look, I have ordered people to build siege weapons. We can definitely give them an unexpected attack tomorrow. Also, we can use corpses to pile up a path. As long as we climb onto the city wall, we will win." Costanelli shouted excitedly as he looked at the siege ladders.

"Okay, you climb up the city wall tomorrow and we will send troops immediately." Two of the five nobles had been beaten badly, and the remaining three had to be cautious.

"Each of you will give me a hundred cavalrymen. If my troops can capture the enemy's city wall, you will mobilize the remaining cavalrymen to attack with all their strength." There were only more than 500 people left in Costanelli, and the remaining more than 300 people were the remnants of the two great nobles. If the other three families were not allowed to send troops, I am afraid that the two great nobles would not continue the attack at all.

"Okay, then we'll wait for your good news."

……

"Kill! Take this city and enjoy it for three days." At dawn, Custanly launched another attack.

"Liad, organize manpower to stop the enemy." Now, only half of the troops are left at the three city gates, and half of the militia have also joined the defense of the north gate, which shows how fierce the battle is.

"The wounded will go down, and the reserve forces will move up." There was not much space at the north gate, so they could only add fuel to the fire bit by bit.

"Lord Alpha, the remaining three attacking enemy forces have disappeared. I'm worried that they have a conspiracy." Phyllis climbed onto the city wall again and reported to Alpha.

Alpha put Phyllis behind him, picked up the telescope and observed the battlefield in the distance.

"Okay, let Fattam, Gordon and Kulin each prepare a hundred veterans to support the north gate for me." Alpha held Phyllis and squeezed down the city wall.

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Let Fattam send five people to protect Lady Phyllis." Alpha pointed at Phyllis's two personal soldiers and ordered.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy seems determined to attack our north gate." Liad wiped the blood off his face and said with worry in his eyes.

The enemy actually used the corpses to raise the city wall by three meters. Now, they were only two meters away from the city wall, and the spears of both sides could stab each other's bodies.

"Use gunpowder to burn it, and at the same time, the crossbows on both sides shoot at me." Alpha ordered loudly.

Three powerful crossbows have been damaged and the repairmen are unable to get up, so they have to give up the repairs temporarily.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has more than a thousand cavalry ready to go. Once they launch an attack, we will be defeated." Liad said worriedly.

"Don't worry, as long as we can hold off the enemy in front of us, we will win. The cavalry behind us are dead to us." Alpha gave Liad a mysterious smile.

"Okay, Lord Alpha, I believe you." Liad has been surprised by Alpha's endless strategies and traps. Even if Alpha uses a palm technique that falls from the sky, Liad will not be surprised.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has already attacked the city wall. Please leave quickly. Leave this to me." Liad shouted loudly.

Alpha said that he had calculated the timing: "Don't worry about me, I'm waiting for the enemy's follow-up reinforcements, and then I'll wipe them out in one fell swoop." After saying that, Alpha killed two more enemies.

Seeing Alpha so confident, Liad felt relieved. At this time, he saw the enemy killing people in front of him, so he led his soldiers to support them.

Alpha sensed that the enemy reinforcements were about to charge, and decisively ordered to prepare to implement the plan. Darwin guarded Alpha and helped him deal with the enemies around him.

"Order the Rocket Team to fire." With Alpha's order, countless rockets shot into the sky, but their target was not the enemies outside the city wall, but the moat.

The cavalrymen in the distance laughed loudly when they saw this: "Are they crazy? They actually want to use rockets to break the ice on the moat."

"Darwin, you don't have to protect me. Just keep an eye on those gunpowder packs. If the enemy enters within one kilometer and the rockets have not been ignited, use magic to ignite them." Alpha's move was to destroy the ice layer of the moat, but of course he would not use rockets. Instead, he would use gunpowder packs that had been buried on the ice and quicklime underneath.

The quicklime reacts with water to produce a chemical reaction, generating a large amount of heat, enough to melt the ice. It does not need to be completely melted, but just thin the ice and crack it, which is enough to prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching.

"Don't be so arrogant, watch out!" Just as Costanelli was about to take action to deal with Liad, suddenly a man fell from the sky and slashed with a knife, directly knocking Costanelli, who was defeating Liad, away.

"Lord Alpha, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Liad thought his life was in danger, but unexpectedly he was successfully rescued by Alpha.

"Can you still fight? Liad?" As he spoke, Alpha had used the Kaifeng long sword to clear out a large number of enemies and successfully suppressed the enemy's offensive.

"Of course." Liad took advantage of the situation and killed an enemy who tried to climb up with his sword.

"Killing is unforgivable." Unexpectedly, the knocked-away Kustanly transformed directly, and a pitch-black monster covered with scales appeared among the enemies.

"Kill." Along the way, Costanelli killed without distinguishing between friend and foe.

"Liad, guard the other areas, leave this guy to me."

"Monster, follow me." Alpha directly lured Stanley to a remote area of ​​the city wall.

Alpha fought against the black dragon Kustanly again, and instantly realized that he had been too arrogant. Kustanly had not transformed before, and he had only won a small victory by relying on the power of silence. Now that he was fighting Kustanly alone, he was instantly at a disadvantage, and the situation was very critical.

"The dark potion is so powerful, maybe I should try it." Looking at the extremely powerful Costanelli, Alpha's heart couldn't help but waver, and he began to consider whether he should get one to try.

But soon, Alpha rejected this idea. Dark potions were forbidden by the Church. If used, his Light Tribute would be unusable and he would be wanted by the Church. It would not be worth it.

The black potion given to Darwin was shattered during the battle and absorbed by Alpha's right arm. I don't know if it left any sequelae.

The battle continued. Alpha used crossbows to shoot, but it was ineffective. He could only rely on the environment to barely survive and avoid being killed.

"Fighting Qi Slash."
