Chapter 402： line of defense endangered

"The longbowmen are ready! Free fire!" Seeing the guards of the Northern Principality rushing over the stone bridge, Narant directly gave an order to the ten longbowmen.

"Longbow ready, free fire... fire!"

Whoosh whoosh!

When the guards of the Northern Principality rushed to a distance of more than 70 meters, the ten longbowmen among the Storm Knights immediately began to attack.

Puff puff!

As the arrows were shot out, four or five guards of the Northern Principality who rushed in front were instantly hit by the arrows, and even two of them fell directly into the river because they were too close to the bridge.

However, compared to the ballista, the strength of the longbow was not enough, and the number of people was small, and soon the guards of the northern principality at the forefront rushed to the stone wall.

The guards of the Northern Principality held more than ten simple wooden ladders, and the moment they reached the stone wall, they immediately set them on the stone wall.

Moreover, after the wooden ladder was erected, these guards did not climb the first time, but came directly behind the wooden ladder, clinging to the wooden ladder to avoid being pushed away.

Raymond and the others tried to push the wooden ladder, but found that it could not be pushed at all. In the end, they simply stopped pushing, holding the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, lowering their bodies and waiting.

"kill!"

Just two or three seconds later, the first wave of guards from the Northern Principality rushed to the stone wall, holding a small shield and wielding a long sword and rushing towards the barbarian guards.

Bang bang bang!

For a moment, the sound of the shield crashing against the stone wall rang out.

However, in the face of the unparalleled strength of the barbarians, the first wave of guards from the Northern Principality who rushed to the stone bridge were instantly knocked away and fell off the high wall.

"Kill!" However, such a frontal battle could not scare the brave elite guards of the Northern Principality.

The first wave only fell off the high wall, and the companions behind them continued to climb up.

All of a sudden, the stone wall was shouting and killing, and the guards of the Northern Principality hit Raymond and the others wave after wave like a raging wave.

Fortunately, the iron shield that Narant built for Raymond and others was strong enough, and with the help of the iron shield and burly body, he could temporarily hold on to the impact.

"Vivian, shoot me those enemies under the stone wall!"

Narant saw the intense situation at the stone wall, worried about the change, and immediately issued an order to Vivian and others.

The power of the crossbow is indeed huge, and the reload speed also limits its greater play.

Whoosh whoosh!

Puff puff!

The long-range attack team that received the order immediately adjusted the shooting angle.

As the five arrows crossed, several more blood mists rose on the stone bridge.

However, due to the limited area of ​​the bridge deck and the deliberate distance of the guards of the Northern Principality, the attack effect has been directly halved.

Rao is so, the battle on this stone bridge at this moment is also fierce and bloody, which is not expected by both sides.

The Northern Principality did not expect that in addition to secret weapons, Narant had burly barbarian guards.

Narant did not expect the bravery of the guards on the other side. Facing the double attack of the barbarians and the crossbow, they still shouted and charged forward.

Whoosh whoosh!

"Be careful of the enemy's arrows!" At this moment, the whistling sound of arrows suddenly came from the ears of Narant and the others.

It turned out that the longbowmen from the northern principality had also arrived at the stone bridge and began to fight back from both sides of the bridge.

"Archer squad, kill the enemy longbow first! Vivian, come and help!" Seeing this, Narant did not dare to neglect. There were thirty or forty archers dispatched by the Northern Principality, and he was definitely a **** to his subordinates. huge threat.

There were even two barbarians who had already been shot in the shoulders, and the arrow was still stuck in them, but these rough-skinned barbarian guards continued to fight as if they didn't realize it.

"The injured people immediately retreat and receive treatment from the ambulance team!" Seeing this, Narant was worried that there would be problems with these barbarian guards after a long delay, and immediately issued an order to the wounded.

The bridge deck is not wide, so although there are many enemies, thirty savages can do it in a short period of time, and there is no need for the wounded to fight.

Next, the battle continued on the battlefield, but because the opponent could not form a formation, it was considered to be evenly matched and fell into anxiety.

Although many casualties have been paid, Huck, the leader of the Northern Principality, is not ready to suspend the offensive.

Because he knew that if the opponent was given enough time to rest, the previous losses would be meaningless.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered to his personal guard.

It didn't take long for the large troops behind to move, and quickly began to cut down and collect all the surrounding trees.

"Narant, look at what they are going to do?" The situation in the distance was immediately discovered by Boris and others.

Narant, who was concentrating on the battlefield, heard the words and immediately frowned.

"If I'm not mistaken, they're ready to make a raft."

This is definitely the last thing he wants to see, because once the enemy starts to cross the river in an all-round way, the disadvantage of taking their manpower will be exposed immediately.

"Stella, Boris, send your troops around the river bank!"

"Okay, Narant!"

"Quake, except the archers, you are waiting on the shore with all the other storm cavalry, to prevent the enemy from approaching the stone bridge!"

...

A team of 10,000 people makes a simple raft, which is naturally fast when there are enough materials.

It didn't take long for the Northern Principality to send a team of 3,000 people again.

These 3,000 people are not the fully-armed direct guards, but the team that the earls and the marquis put together.

The lack of metal mines in the Northern Principality is not a matter of one or two days, so in their army, except for the most elite cavalry regiment or a few guards.

The armor attachment rate of other armies is basically only 30%.

Of course, just because they didn't wear armor, that didn't mean the guards were really sheep, as Narant said.

The guards from the earl family are actually no worse than the guards from the Tulip family in terms of combat power and will to fight.

On the contrary, because they didn't have armor, it was easier for them to cross the river now.

Soon those three thousand people started to cross the river with forty or fifty simple rafts.

Moreover, Commander Nahak is also very smart, knowing that the number of Narant and others is small, so when crossing the river, he specially dispersed the team and stayed away from the stone bridge.

In this way, the front line was stretched infinitely, and the disadvantage of Narant and others with a small number of people immediately appeared.

In this regard, Narant and the others had no choice but to disperse their forces as much as possible and stand guard on both sides of the upper and lower reaches.

"Vivian, let the crossbow support Boris and the others first. In addition, the five catapults in the camp can be taken out!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Under Narant's order, the ballista immediately turned around and started attacking the river crossing team.

In an instant, blood mist rose from several rafts.

However, compared to forty or fifty simple rafts, five ballistas are a drop in the bucket.

Soon the first group of Northern Principality guards boarded the river bank, and then joined Boris and others in short armies.

Fortunately, each raft can only take about ten people, so there are only four or five hundred people in the first wave.

After the four or five hundred people landed, they were almost chased and beaten by Boris and the Tulip guards.

And those rafts immediately began to return to the other side after they landed, ready to pick up the next batch.

In this regard, the energy of Boris and others was completely delayed, and there was no time to take into account the subsequent attack of the Northern Principality.

In order to destroy the enemies who have already crossed the river as soon as possible, the three of them have also appeared in person to start the battle.

Even worse, because of the lack of ballista support, the enemy on this bridge began to charge more intensively, and for a while, the defense of the Onyx Principality came to the brink of collapse.
