Five hundred and sixtieth chapters fall
Latest website: Intimate fighting, this not only requires superb combat literacy, but also requires great courage.
Fortunately, among the ten main combat forces who were leading, half of the veterans with the identity of war slaves, faced the Lombards who rushed into the fence, their bravery and bloody nature were aroused and they did not retreat at all.
The broken short spear had been left behind, and they pulled out the sword, axe and hammer on their waists, almost fighting against the enemy.
I’ll just say, it’s really good, it’s worth installing, but it’s supported by Android and iPhone!
There were several brave veterans with red eyes standing in front of the formation. The miners in the second echelon also overcame the panic in their hearts that they couldn't help but run away, and raised their hammers and slashed at the enemy that rushed into the hole.
The miners may not have combat qualities, but their heavy physical labor has developed a brute force. In addition, the hammer, hand, axe and other objects in their hands can be regarded as "heavy weapons" in front of the enemy's long sword, so in just a moment, a few Lombard soldiers who rushed into the fence turned into corpses on the ground.
These corpses blocked the passage, and the resistance near the rupture was too great, so the Lombards actually gave up the expansion of the rupture and dragged several corpses out of the fence.
The offensive and defensive sides fought through the fence, but at this moment, both sides were basically short weapons, and it was difficult to kill each other through the fence.
After fighting for a while, the Lombards found that it was a waste of time if they went down, so a Lombard officer who led the battle sent an order to retreat to the team.
The first brief offensive ended like this.
Spencer's heartstrings were no longer as tight as before the war began. While ordering to lift the two corpses on the fence to the back, he asked the miners who had just lived in the back to find stones and sticks to repair and strengthen the breakout of the fence gate.
The miners couldn't help but feel excited after repelling the Lombards' first offensive. But the veterans and Spencer knew that the enemy no longer looked down on them, and the second attack would be more fierce than before.
And there is probably no third battle here...
There is an unknown village in the northeast of the Canyon Mining Area, which was originally a place to take shelter in the mountains of Christopher clan.
Deep in the mountains, it has been uninhabited for thousands of years, so there is no need for tall and strong defense of village walls. What is used to prevent wild animals from plaguing the barriers of one person. In many places, it is just a fence made of willow branches, which can be kicked down with one foot. This defense condition is worse than that of the fence of the mining site.
It is actually a bit difficult to call this place a village. The original more than 100 people were crowded in about twenty thatched huts. Except for the wooden house where Christopher, the central lord of the village, and the small chapel that prayed, the rest are really hard to call.
After Christopher took refuge in Wells Province, the village was empty and the weeds began to grow wildly.
If the newly built mining farms had not been passed here recently, and the occasionally transported teams would have entered the village for a little rest, it would have probably become a paradise for beasts.
At this time, two government officials led a large group of miners from mining farms to escape here.
According to Spencer's order, these miners should enter the villages to strengthen the walls and then stick to the waiting for assistance.
However, when they entered the village and saw the so-called "city wall" in the village, they immediately felt like they were retreating.
Several timid miners immediately proposed to retreat and ran back to the lake.
"Just like this broken village, what can I use to resist the enemy's attack?"
"The guys in the mining farm will definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's attack. I guess the Lombards are already coming to us with bloody butchers' swords. If they don't run away, they will not be able to escape!"
"Run, it's safe to run back to the lake!"
Several timid miners urged the two officials to order their lives to continue to escape.
"You can't just escape like this. Lord Spencer has asked us to hide behind to avoid the enemy. If we violate the order, it would be a serious crime!" A sturdy miner with a beard and strong face spoke and stopped talking. He originally planned to stay with those miners and brothers to fight the enemy, but he still had a wife, children, and he really dared not sacrifice his life.
The men who were brave but worried among the miners also stood up to support the beard.
Both officials were also apprentices who had just graduated from the School of Government Affairs, and they had never experienced such extreme dangers.
From the bottom of their hearts, they hope to continue escaping their lives as soon as possible and get out of danger as soon as possible by arriving at the lake.
But unlike those miners who were determined to save their lives, both officials were educated and had some concepts of loyalty and fraternity in their heads. They also thought that once the enemy was allowed to rush into the lake, no matter whether Lord Odo's army could withstand it, the civilians in the lake would always be threatened.
More importantly, Wells Province has always been strict in government orders. Before evacuation, Spencer ordered the two of them to lead miners to strengthen abandoned villages to wait for the lake to rescue the troops.
Now they ran away. It would be fine if Spencer and the others could block the enemy. They might only face minor punishment. If Spencer and the remaining miners were killed in battle, they would not be able to escape death. At least they would be sentenced to prisoners and be enslaved like livestock every day.
The miners were still quarreling, and the two officials were in a mess.
"Shut up!!" The new official who often followed Spencer shouted loudly and stopped the argument.
"Everyone calmed down and thought about it, is there any way to do both!"
After a group of people's fierce discussions, the two officials decided to take the miners to make some efforts for the lake.
They did not intend to strengthen the abandoned villages. In fact, not only did they not have a defense basis, but the most important thing was that the iron hammers and a small number of axes they brought out when they escaped from the mining area could not reinforce the walls of the village within a period of time.
So they decided to give up the abandoned village and run three miles eastward, where there was a narrow pass with dozens of feet of gravel cliffs on both sides.
More than a month ago, they passed by this place when they went to the mining site. Because there were many gravels on both sides of the pass, miners came from instinctively paid attention to this extremely easy-to-mine quarry.
The pass here is about a hundred steps long and only more than ten steps wide.
Two young and clever miners were arranged to go west, looking for a hidden location to detect the enemy's movements, while the remaining people continued to travel east with their tools.
Soon, two officials and dozens of miners came to the pass with hammer tools.
Repairing houses and building walls is not their specialty, but smashing stones and digging mountains is their ability to seek food.
They divided into two teams and climbed up the steep cliffs on both sides of the pass with hammers and iron rods. After a jingling sound, the stones on the steep cliffs on both sides kept rolling towards the pass. Several miners simply climbed to the top of the cliff and pried off the steep cliffs...
Soon, high "stone walls" were piled up on both sides of the pass passage.
"Don't block it first. If the two brothers report that the enemy has come and then seal it. Now, if our army arrives in time, how can we get there?" The young officials stopped the miners from completely blocking the pass passage, but asked them to continue knocking on the rocks on both sides, and if they need to smash down and seal the pass at any time.
"If I could think of running to this pass to seal the pass earlier, Lord Spencer and the others might not have to stay behind and fight for their lives. I don't know how those guys are doing now~" Another official looked at the "stone wall" that had basically formed behind him and sighed.
"If Lord Spencer hadn't been in front of us, could we still feel at ease to break the road here?"
The young official gently drew a cross on his chest, "May the Holy Lord bless you!"
............
Time went back two hours ago.
To the west of the abandoned village, on the top of the hillside on the northeast side of the quarry, two young men gasping for breath secretly stretched their heads out of the grass.
From the position they climbed, they could clearly see the situation of the mining site under another hillside.
As soon as the two cringed heads were stretched out, they saw the tragic scene in the mining field - hundreds of figures dressed in basically unified figures gradually flooded the dozen or so clothes behind the quarry fence. They waved their swords, axes and hammers in their hands to greet the dozen surrounded people desperately.
Under the tide of swords, more than a dozen figures were as thin as small boats in the storm.
Those thin boats were the "temporary soldiers" who were fighting for life in the mining field, and they were lying in pools of blood one by one.
The young miners of the two sentry detectives at the top of the mountain did not know that during the three hours when they fled from the mining site, fled to the abandoned village, and were ordered to return to the sentry detectives, three bloody battles had occurred here.
The first wave of Lombardy's underestimation of the enemy did not cause much damage to the mining site. After a while of rest, they began to attack from a long range, and bows and arrows kept shooting at the miners crawling behind the ore chest wall behind the fence.
Even with the chest wall blocking, the arrows shot in the air still caused considerable casualties to the miners and soldiers behind the fence. Two miners died on the spot, and four unlucky ghosts hit by the arrows kept wailing.
Then the Lombards rushed towards the fence under the cover of bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows stopped until ten steps closer to the fence.
Spencer was not stunned by the arrows. The arrow rain stopped suddenly, and he immediately stood up to organize the defense.
Perhaps the miners were indeed the best source of troops, or perhaps because the Lombardy soldiers had exhausted their physical strength through mountains and rivers for a long time, the temporary army led by Spencer actually blocked the Lombardy's second offensive after breaking through the fence.
Of course, eleven of the thirty-five temporary soldiers died in this round of battle, and everyone was injured.
The Lombards were indeed tired, and the second and third waves were separated by nearly an hour.
The third attack was still launched from the main gate, because the "guards" in the mining site no longer had the strength to repair the fence that was broken last time.
Seventy or eighty Lombards with blood-red eyes rushed into the fence and hunted and snatched the remaining dozen "guards"...
"Master Spencer! That's Master Spencer!!" One of the young miners on the hillside had tears in their eyes and saw the last "blood man" standing with a sword in the enemy group. The blonde hair dripping with blood was very easy to identify.
Spencer was not good at fighting formations, and now he has exhausted all his courage and combat power in his life.
Spencer looked at the enemy surrounded by tighter and tighter, trying to lift the short sword full of gaps to retreat, but his trembling hands were already in use...
On the hillside, two young miners seemed to see Spencer roaring, but the sound could not be heard.
Then, a Lombard soldier raised the hammer in his hand and slammed Spencer hard on the thigh.
Spencer fell down...
