Chapter 135: . Guarding the Strong Fortress

Sunday, the last day of the week.
Stretching the reins, all of them stood at the top of the dunes, overlooking the horizon.
The desert robbers patrolled by this team didn't even think of it. During the routine patrol in the early morning, they actually found that the enemy's troops were advancing, and looking at the dark pressing on the horizon, it was clearly gone. distance.
Judging from the walking speed, you will definitely reach the sentry oasis within 2 hours.
The enemy's troops have reached the detection range of the desert robbers.
"Don't be stunned."
The team leader headed up and spit hard at the exit.
Although he had already made psychological preparations for the enemy's arrival, he was surprised by the sudden discovery of the opponent. He couldn't help but hold the spear in his hand and turned his head to yell: "Damn, let's go!"
"Go around." The desert robbers nodded one after another.
Not to fear the enemy and avoid war.
Rather, as reconnaissance cavalry, they want to inform this information quickly to the sentry oasis.
Turning around, they returned quickly.
There is no need to send a signal to notify other teams, because when the desert robbers in other areas find the troops heading southward on the horizon, they have already noticed the arrival of the enemy.
The sense of smell of these desert robbers can be extremely sharp.
In other words, those stupid robbers finally died under the siege of the Sultan of Sarand, the regular army.
At the top of the sand dunes, the horse races.
Return to the sentry oasis with the fastest speed.
And just above the arrow tower, the vigilante archer who was in charge soon discovered that they had all returned.
This is an unusual situation.
As usual, these desert robbers will patrol until noon to return.
Now, this hurried appearance only represents things.
The enemy is coming!
The Swadia crossbowmen on the city wall also noticed that they were not right, and they all gathered together. The crossbows with their hands stood behind the window and watched the empty agricultural area on the north side and the dunes on the north side. Office.
"In an emergency, open the city gate!"
Swadia's light infantry looked dignified and waved open the heavy city gate directly.
They are not unaware of workarounds.
The desert robber at the front rushed directly into the fortress, with a serious face on his face. He watched his horses running so fast on the street in front of him, and they all gave way to the ruling hall.
"Stop! No entry here!"
The two Swadia infantry who served as guards raised their waist scabbards to issue a warning: "Cavalry, tell your intentions!"
Representatives of the ruling hall are fortresses.
It belongs to the heart position, not to mention that Lord Kant is still in his life, and it is not easy to enter.
As escorts, their first consideration is safety.
"I ask to see Master Kant!"
The desert robber who first discovered the enemy turned over and dismounted, and said in a hurry: "During the investigation, we found that the enemy's troops were approaching the sentry oasis, and the predicted arrival time would not exceed 2 hours!"
"Wait." The infantry frowned instantly.
He was aware of the seriousness of the situation, but for safety he turned around and pushed the door to report in person.
But it didn't take too long, and came out directly in less than 2 minutes. He stuck the door and said to the desert robber: "Master Kant summoned you in, come with me."
"Yes." The desert robber immediately walked in.
In the hall, the torches ignited.
Kant is sitting in his place.
After receiving the report, his face was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the desert robber brought in by the guard. He directly asked: "The size and composition of the enemy, have you investigated clearly?"
Straightforward, Kant went straight to the topic.
No nonsense now.
"The investigation is clear." The desert robber nodded immediately.
"Details," Kant said.
"Yes, Lord Kant."
The desert robbers organized the language and quickly reported what they saw: "The forces of the jackals marched toward us in the desert in the north. The number is based on visual observations. It is about 1500-2000 people. All are infantry. Yes, we can see them in the city wall in less than 2 hours."
"That's an enemy of about 2000?" Kant's heart beat faster.
"Yes." The desert robber nodded, he was right.
These gangsters who depend on plunder for a living have eyes as great as the archers of Vickia.
"I know."
Kant tapped his fingers on the table and waved to the desert robber, commanding: "Return to the team."
"Understood." The desert robber planned to leave after saluting.
"Wait." But Kant opened his mouth again and said to him: "Notify Fatis and Manid, and immediately lay the defense to the top floor of the ruling hall. I will wait for them there."
"Observe." The desert robber nodded and left.
The Swadia infantry, who served as guards, also left, and went outside to continue guarding.
The entire sentinel oasis was mobilized.
The Wikia archers occupy 4 arrow towers, waiting in line on the top floor and the tower, holding a long bow and watching out of the city wall with vigilance. Any enemy appearing will encounter their shooting.
Including the city wall loft, the Swadian crossbowman carrying the crossbow.
Two long-range units are responsible for the arrow tower and the city wall.
Longbow curved or rapid fire.
Crossbow and direct shooting.
With the firepower of the 20 Reston Rangers at the top of the ruling hall ready to support at any time, staying in the city wall for a short time to resist the enemy's approach, it is absolutely no problem.
What's more, even the peasants climbed to the top of the attic and used a long-handled sickle to help defend.
Although their combat effectiveness is poor, they can't stand the stones next to them.
The top of the 10 meters high was thrown down fiercely, no less than the fire of the ballista, no matter how strong the jackal's physique is, it is estimated that the brain plasma that will be smashed will burst and the head will burst into blood.
For their own homes, everyone will do their best.
"Everyone stood by and noticed the enemy immediately."
After inspecting the safe defense, Fatis looked a little slow, and said to the captains who followed him: "I went to see Lord Kant, and I will leave it to you."
"Understood." The captains nodded.
They are all grassroots and commanders.
Leave the city wall.
Fatis met Manid, who had just arranged the peasants and peasants, and also walked towards the ruling hall.
The two nodded seriously, without much communication.
Enter the ruling hall.
Hurry up to the opposite of the long table and salute solemnly: "Master Kant."
"coming."
Kant nodded and said to the two of them: "Sit down, the situation is urgent, there are not so many courtesies."
"Yes." The two were also welcome.
Sitting on opposite sides of the long table, they looked at Kant seriously.
This is the real battle of defending the city since the establishment of the "Drechem" fortress. It is also the batch of enemies facing them that they need to be treated with caution.
It was as if Kant personally led the team and attacked the Jackal Horde.
But now, the situation is even more critical.
"Is everything scheduled?" Kant asked in a deep voice.
"All ready." Fatiz and Manid nodded.
The affirmative words made Kant nod slightly, but the voice is still heavy: "This battle of defending the city is absolutely not allowed to fail. If you fail, I think you understand the consequences."
"We... do our best."
Fatis and Manid looked at each other, then focused on their heads.
The cost of failure is too great.
Just like falling into the abyss, although they are from the mainland of Caladea, they can also understand that the "Drechem" fortress at the key point of the sentry oasis, once they fall, then the situation they face will collapse.
Because of their current strength, they still cannot bear the consequences of defeat.
At present, the strength of the "Drechem" fortress is composed of 37 Swadia light infantry, 50 Swadia infantry, 50 Swadia heavy cavalry, 50 Swadia crossbowmen, 50 Composed of Wikia Archers, 20 Reston Rangers, 5 Mamluks, 15 Sarand Riders, 25 Elite Desert Bandits, and 40 Desert Bandits.
All 324 soldiers.
As well as 500 civilians and 50 peasant women, they can be recruited as recruits when necessary.
There are fewer than a thousand troops.
Quantity is at a disadvantage.
But in fact Kant's pressure is not too great.
There is even a counterattack, the idea of ​​destroying the army of more than 2,000 jackals outside the city gate.
Of course, this is an adventure, Kant will not really do it.
This also represents his confidence.
Because the troops currently owned by Kant can be said to be elite troops.
Look at the infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen. Even the baron of the male lion, there are these troops that can be directly commanded. After all, the complete armor and war horses, and the precious crossbows are all strategic resources. No ordinary craftsman can make it, and it is too expensive to equip.
The vassal knight of Baron Dylan could betray him for the chain armor of Sarande.
It is enough to prove how precious the equipment worn by the soldiers of Kant!
on the battle field.
These weapons and equipment ~EbookFREE.me~ represent the guarantee that they can destroy Laku and destroy the enemy!
Weapon victory is never a lie.
In war, excellent weapons and armor are also the guarantee of victory.
Thinking of this, Kant stopped tapping the table with his fingers, but instead raised his head and solemnly proposed to the two of them: "I intend to let all the light cavalry leave the fort and carry 3 days of food and water per person, turning it into zero harassment. The forces of the Jackals of the Mane Kingdom, just as the Kugits did, harassed them to become extremely tired."
