Chapter 246: All out

The Red Scarf Sand Riders are best known for their extremely fast speed.
Velina has only heard of the name of the Red Scarf Sand Rider, and has not been specially prepared before. However, the reason why the other party is still far away, and the yellow sand that rolls along with the team's rush is still in sight, it feels wrong, it is purely because of some experience.
Only from the sand and dust that stepped on the army can make a correct judgment, which is undoubtedly a proof of Verina's ability.
Faced with the soldiers who have already formed a defensive formation, these cavalry soldiers with scimitars did not rush to attack, they just roared around and turned around.
If this is still in line to enter the city gate, I am afraid that the hundreds of people stranded outside are facing the sand robbers, and they must be severely beaten by those guys who are very good at grasping fighters. Maybe even chased by these cavalry into the city from behind.
Although the North Gate has not yet been closed, the more than 400 soldiers of the garrison remaining outside the city have dared not continue to walk inside the city. Surrounded by these cavalry gates, hastily moves can easily be seized to hit a round of assaults, causing quite bad consequences. They can only form a meticulous defensive formation carefully, guarding these cavalry outside.
In fact, the number of sand robbers who came up was only about six or seven hundred. Although there are many people, the most powerful part of the Sand Riders is not that they attack the enemy's formation and fight directly. In this way, the Sand Riders are used to cut stones.
What they are powerful is their powerful mechanics and endurance, their ability to break through the chaos, and not many arms can beat them in sports.
When the soldiers of the garrison set up their defensive formations, these red-sanded robbers did not necessarily have the ability to crush them.
These cavalrymen are now just around the gates of the defensive soldiers around the defensive state, blowing whistle from time to time, constantly putting pressure on the defensive forces, but why not initiate the attack.
维 Verina, standing on the city's head, looked very nervous. She could see the enemy's purpose: to use these hundreds of cavalry as a deterrent!
"Head of the army ... what do we do now?" Even Palan, who was next to him, saw this. "The enemy's army behind is coming, and they will definitely attack the cities by then. Let Hypia The lieutenant colonel took those troops that had not yet had time to enter the city, and came in before the enemy's army had arrived. "
"No." Verina shook her head. "Once the soldiers in our city are moving, the light cavalry will immediately seize the opportunity to run up. At that time, it is difficult for the soldiers who are retreating to the city to resist the impact of the other party. , If they rush into the city, it will not be so easy to get out. "
那 "That ..." Paran said incredulously, "The chief of the army ... Do you ... want to close the gates regardless of the people below?"
The reason why Paran will show such an incredible look is that his idea just did not match the warm and strong appearance and style that Verina usually showed, and he abandoned the decision of the lives of hundreds of soldiers. It's cruel.
Velina didn't speak, but silence at this time was equivalent to an answer.
Of course, she has not given this cruel order, but in fact, she has already considered this problem in her mind.
She didn't want to do this, and her charm to the soldiers and subordinates in the past was not disguised. Not to mention loving soldiers, at least less than a last resort, and she was not willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of people. .
But she is a qualified battlefield commander.
北 In this battle of the likely defensive battle of Shawan Port, the North Gate must not be lost. She had given up the inner city and the stronghold outside the city, and her ultimate goal was to stick to the gate.
The Beibei Gate must not be lost! Compared to this goal, the lives of hundreds of soldiers are far less important.
所以 Why she hasn't given the order to close the gate yet, she is still waiting. She wants to see if there will be anything going on
Momentum for the better.
The final result is still not there.
Ten minutes later, the captain of the port guard in the city, Bills, with his hundreds of people, had already rushed under the gate, and started to fight against the line of defense that Verina arranged on the street south of the gate. In addition, the large troops under the dust also appeared.
Standing at the top of the city, Verina glanced over. This army from Malone Manor had a population of at least two thousand or more. Counting the red-sanded robbers who arrived in the previous step, the total number of this army was close. There are 3,000 people, and the port guard behind them, the total strength has definitely exceeded 3,000.
Palan, the corps deputy officer, screamed out of character: "! Malone has pulled out all the soldiers in his nest? Three thousand people? Oh my god!"
There are also 2,000 people in Yun Weilin's hands, but the concepts between the two are completely different. The port guards in the city are okay to say ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Everyone spent two or three months fighting in the Shawan Port, and each of them can be regarded as the best known. But these Malone's troops under the city are all out-and-out soldiers! On the quality of individual soldiers and on the combat literacy of the Legion, I don't know where it is higher than the defending legion under Verina!
When she saw such a comparison of strength, Verina knew that she could not keep it. If the entire Shawan Port can be relied on, the two sides may still be able to fight each other, but Malone's main force is in front, and the port guards of hundreds of people in the city are also against them, relying solely on them. It is too difficult for a north gate to hold the city.
"Three days." Verina suddenly spit out two words, and she didn't know who to talk to, or simply to herself: "Just hold on for three days."
For three days, it is not an impossible task, but it still seems very difficult.
After seeing the thousands of enemy troops outside, the three or four hundred soldiers that Hapya brought to the lower part of the city had not enough time to enter the city. Especially when six artillery pieces were launched from the opponent's army, it was even more frightening.
"Boom!" It wasn't the opponent's artillery that started, but the two cannons at the head of the city.
Even at such a long distance, even the cannons raised high above the city walls are obviously not within range. This round of shelling only represents a bit of symbolism and calms down the soldiers-we also have artillery.
But how much can it actually mean? Only ghosts know. (To be continued.)
