I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 48: Capture of the Fortress
"That's not right. They have changed their attack method, and we dare not move around. They must have a purpose. We must send people to check the city wall immediately. We can't let them climb up in the chaos." The bandit leader was still worried.
"I'll go! You guys continue to rest." A small leader wanted to go out for some fresh air.
Cough, cough, cough. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, the little leader couldn't help coughing. The air outside was more turbid than inside.
The sky was full of dust and charcoal powder, and explosions could be heard from time to time around the torches, as if foreshadowing that something ominous was about to happen.
"Boss, who are those people? Why did things become like this as soon as they arrived? No one cared about us before." A bandit leader complained.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, or you might lose your life." The leader threatened in a low voice, "But don't worry, they will only stay for five days at most."
After these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are still two days left, and we guarantee to complete the task." The other leaders expressed their opinions one after another.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the East City Gate.
Some people climbed up the wall and started a fierce battle with the few guards on the wall. The ropes were lowered, and more and more people climbed up, and the battle became one-sided.
"It's the East Gate. The East Gate is in crisis." The small leader patrolling the South Gate quickly led the infantry to provide support, and before leaving, he warned the guards at the South Gate not to act rashly.
However, just as the patrol leader of the South Gate left, another group of men in black climbed up and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"The ropes have been lowered, let's climb up immediately." Alpha ordered. Dozens of ropes were slowly lowered, and everyone climbed up carefully.
"Captain Alpha, you can't go up in the first wave." Rowling has already regarded Alpha as her own man and is unwilling to let him take risks.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me. If we fail, we will all die here. Now there is only success, no failure." Without waiting for Rowling to continue persuading him, Alpha climbed up the rock with a big knife on his back.
The riot at the east gate had been suppressed, and the soldiers climbing the city wall had been completely wiped out. From the expressions of the guards and bandits, it was clear that this was not the first time such a thing had happened, and it would not be the last.
The little leader loudly reprimanded the people on the wall: "Stay alert, don't let any enemy come up."
Woo! Woo! Woo! The horn at the south gate sounded an urgent call for help, and then the horn at the north gate followed suit.
"Hurry up and inform the boss, we need support!" The little leader divided the fire brigade into two, supporting the South Gate and the North Gate separately.
Alpha climbed up the city wall and immediately issued a combat order: "Capture the tower and hold it, don't go down."
In an instant, smoke rose everywhere and a fierce battle had begun.
"Kill, don't let any bandits go." Alpha looked down at the enemy camp below, as if waiting for something.
The small leader supporting the south gate discovered something was wrong. The enemy had already captured the south city wall and blocked the enemies on both sides, but did not take the initiative to attack the fortress gate.
"Help, help quickly." The little leader couldn't help but shouted loudly.
"Lilia, shoot all the bandit leaders accurately." Alpha led Lilia to fight all the way and guarded the stairs of the city wall.
"Yes, Lord Alpha." Lilia put her arrows on the bow and shot. All the leaders who gave loud orders were named one by one by Lilia.
"Chief." Seeing the bandit leader who was shot in the chest, the guards immediately surrounded him.
"You kill her." The little leader pointed at the archer on the city wall. Before he could finish his words, Lilia shot an arrow into his mouth and killed him instantly.
Lilia's behavior completely angered the bandit leader, who mobilized all archers to aim at Lilia, who was attacking him, and ordered, "Shoot that bitch to death."
At this moment, Lilia seized the opportunity and shot an arrow at the knee of the bandit leader who was about to sneak into the dark.
"Ah! Don't worry about me, keep shooting her." Seeing his men gave up the attack, the little leader immediately roared.
"Lilia, let's go." Alpha grabbed Lilia and retreated, using his broadsword to sweep away the arrows. He also shared his experience: "Don't shoot in the light. Change position after shooting once."
"Lord Alpha, we can't hold on any longer." Rowling shouted for help. The battle on the city wall was also extremely fierce. The enemies on both sides continued to advance, gradually eroding the space on the city wall.
"Hold on, at all costs." Alpha stared at the dust falling in the sky, knowing that he was almost at the critical point and he could not give up now.
"Kill." Alpha brandished the sword and axe in his hand and launched a charge. There were no generals or soldiers, only the living and the dead. At this moment, everyone was fearless of life and death, and who else could do it but me?
"Sir, we have failed to capture the east, west and north walls." Alpha had just chopped down two bandits when the guards behind him ran over.
"No wonder all the pressure is concentrated here." Alpha suddenly realized.
Alpha looked calmly toward the city wall. The north gate, which had been ablaze with flames and deafening shouts of killing, was now silent.
"Organize people and defend this place." Alpha loudly commanded the battle.
"Kill, don't let any enemy go." The enemy was also attacking frantically, and both sides were competing in willpower and endurance.
"Die." Suddenly, Alpha erupted with the "power of silence" and killed more than twenty bandits in front of him with one knife, scaring the bandits behind him so much that they dared not move forward.
"Kill him and you'll get a reward of a thousand gold." In such a slaughter, the bravery of a single person would have little effect and would be drowned out in an instant.
"The time has come, Lilia, prepare flint arrows to shoot at the inner city." Everything is ready.
When Lilia shot the arrow, Alpha pulled Lina, who was nearest to her, and rushed towards Lilia.
"Everyone, hold your heads and lie down." The people who believed in Alpha didn't care about any attack at all, and all lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The bandits didn't understand what was going on and thought the enemy was surrendering.
However, when the flint arrow collided with the ground, it emitted violent sparks, instantly igniting the dust in the air, followed by an intense red light, and then a violent shock wave.
The bandit who was still standing on the city wall was instantly hit by an invisible force. The armor on his body had no effect at all, and his muscles emitted terrifying ripples like the surface of water.
All the people, regardless of friend or foe, were blown away and instantly fell from the dozens of meters high city wall. Alpha and others used the battlements to block the explosion, but Alpha miscalculated. The explosion consumed the surrounding air, and for a moment, all the oxygen in the surrounding area was consumed.
"Hold your breath, don't panic, it will be fine in a moment." Alpha reminded loudly, but some people were still running around in panic. It made no difference, it would only consume the limited oxygen and make it impossible for people to survive.
A few minutes later, everyone rolled their eyes and woke up from suffocation. Alpha checked Lina and Lilia's weak breathing, then he stood up with confidence.
"Those who can still stand, come with me and open the door." Alpha picked up the sword with difficulty and walked down the city wall. Gradually, several people followed him.
"Lord Alpha, wait for me." Rowling was in good physical condition and had recovered.
"Lord Alpha, is that your magic?" Recalling the horrific situation just now, Rowling was still in shock.
"Just listen to me, I promise you'll be fine."
At least a dozen knights did not follow Alpha's advice and were affected by the explosion and blown away.
"I will definitely believe you, Lord Alpha." From then on, Rowling would carry out any order from Alpha without hesitation.
The city gate bolt was huge and it was beyond the capability of a few exhausted knights to pull it.
"Kill, don't let them open the city gate." The bandits who survived by chance immediately launched a charge.
"I'll hold them off, you guys continue." Alpha brandished a long sword and stood guard at the city gate, looking like one man blocking the pass from ten thousand.
Alpha stood alone at the city gate, his long sword drawing dazzling streaks in the air, resisting the bandits' attacks again and again.
His companions around him were trying hard to pull the bolt of the city gate, which made Alpha's belief even stronger.
Alpha knew that as long as they could successfully open the city gate, they would have a chance to defeat these bandits and complete the seemingly impossible mission.
Inspired by Alpha's strong belief and courage, the gate bolt was finally opened a crack. Seeing this, the bandits immediately accelerated their attack, and Alpha's pressure doubled.
At this moment, the door bolt fell heavily again for some reason, and it seemed that the door was locked!
"Lord Alpha, the door bolt is locked for some reason." Rowling looked at what she saw in disbelief.
"Hahaha, you can't open the city gate! Opening the gate requires a special procedure. If you make a wrong step, the bolt will automatically lock." The bandit leader was not in a hurry to attack. He planned to slowly kill these knights.
"There is still hope, don't give up." Alpha seemed to be unconcerned and continued to fight with the bandits. In this fight, Alpha showed extraordinary faith and courage.
"Charge, don't leave any one alive!" The bandit leader rode on his horse and waved his arm. The bandits immediately launched a more fierce attack, and the archers also found their positions.
But at this moment, something the bandits had not expected happened - behind the bandits, another group of knights emerged.
These knights who had disappeared at first finally played a role. They were like a sharp dagger, instantly penetrating the bandits' defenses. The bandits fled in panic, and their morale plummeted.
"Open it for me!" Alpha suddenly gave up on the bandits in front of him, turned around and slashed at the pure iron gate with a knife.
There are three bolts on the heavy iron door, one is an iron bar as thick as a palm, and two are 20-centimeter wooden bars. Even if you use brute force, it cannot be easily opened.
However, Alpha used his strongest silent power and shock force to chop the door hard. With a loud bang, he actually cut a one-meter-long crack, and the bolt had long disappeared.
"Impossible!" The bandit looked at everything in front of him in horror, feeling that it was simply impossible to happen.
Seeing this, Rowling picked up Alpha and rushed into the city.
Without the protection of the bolt, the iron door made a terrifying creaking sound. The bandits tried to close the door in panic, but facing the huge enemy force outside, it was no use and the iron door was slowly opened.
Countless cavalrymen roared and attacked the city.
Rowling shouted excitedly: "Master Alpha, we succeeded, we succeeded!"
However, Alpha could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was in low spirits, as the previous attack had consumed all his energy.
"Help me up and take a look at the battlefield outside." Alpha had to see the battle below with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
With the help of Rowling and Lina, Alpha felt relieved when he saw teams of cavalry charging in.
"I didn't expect there is such a beauty here." Suddenly, a voice was heard, and everyone was shocked. They were now exhausted and had no strength to fight.
A pale young man came over under the protection of a middle-aged man. The young man ordered: "Master Zhang, get rid of all the men and leave the women to me." It was obvious that the young man was consumed by alcohol and sex.
"Master Zhang, an Oriental?" Alpha was extremely surprised. At this moment, he actually met someone who was also an Oriental, and who was actually his enemy.
The middle-aged man watched coldly: "My duty is to protect you, not to obey your orders."
Seeing that he couldn't order the middle-aged man to take action, the young bandit turned to order his men: "Gust, Moore, take action."
Alpha barely stood up. Even though they hadn't fought yet, a powerful pressure was already coming down on him like a mountain.
"Take action." Rowling and Lina, one on the left and one on the right, tried to work together to subdue the two bandit bodyguards, but they were knocked away after just one encounter.
"Kill." Alpha didn't care about the safety of Rowling and Lina, and swung his knife to kill the two bandit bodyguards.
Gust and Moore did not dare to fight head-on and could only take two steps back to dissipate Alpha's force.
Alpha's attack was so powerful and fierce, his sword moved wildly and fiercely, that the enemy dared not to confront him head-on.
Gust and Moore were not powerless, but after seeing Alpha's strength, they wanted to use dodging to consume Alpha's physical strength and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
After all, the attack that Alpha just unleashed was extremely powerful, and there are probably few rivals in the world.
But Alpha didn't give them much chance. While attacking, he ordered: "Lolin and Lina, take care of yourselves."
"Then what will you do?" Rowling asked weakly.
"Don't worry, I can handle it." Alpha replied while slashing at Gust.
Gust hurriedly dodged sideways, but unexpectedly Alpha had already calculated his movements and blocked Gust's way with a horizontal slash, and Gust was knocked away in an instant.
Seeing this, Moore hurried forward to support Gust, ready to fight Alpha together, but unexpectedly Alpha took the lead, rushed towards the two of them, and swung his sword at Moore's head. Moore raised his sword to block it.
The two men looked at each other in confusion. The enemy's strength did not seem to be strong, so they changed their strategy from defensive counterattack to a full-scale attack.
Both of them were high-level knights, and their combined attack was extremely powerful. Alpha was suppressed in an instant.
"You're just a clown. You don't know your own limitations." Seeing that Alpha's strength was not as good as theirs, Gust and the other man mocked him mercilessly.
"How can a frog in a well dare to talk about courage?"
