Different World Development Manual - Chapter 214

[Chapter 42 Raid on Fort Mantuen]

Just after the shelling of the Carinthian Army ended, a cavalry team of more than 20 people ran over from the northwest.

The team was holding the banner of a certain little baron on the southwestern border, and few people knew it.

However, in addition to the baron’s flag, this team also flew the flag of Earl Matthew.

As the lord of the Mantoun Fortress, the army around Matthew’s Banner naturally recognizes it.

An Rui rode on a group of war horses, wearing a full helmet, disguised as a cavalryman, and followed closely behind the second-fifth baron who had just sworn allegiance to him.

An Rui looked at the defenses outside the Mantuen Fortress. There were more than 20 magic arrays, but 3 of them had been destroyed by the shelling just now.

At this time, the priests, who were under the protection of the Mantoon garrison, felt destroyed by the magic array, and began to cast healing techniques to heal these guys.

Outside the Mantuen Fortress, there is also a huge military camp, and the soldiers’ “hahaha” drills can be heard inside.

Judging from the size of the barracks alone, there are probably 30,000 people outside the barracks.

It should be used to deal with the Carinthian army washed ashore from the Aran River, to cover the mage in the magic array to leave, and to delay the existence of time.

An Rui looked at the magnificent fortress again, and saw that on the huge fortress, various siege crossbows were erected, and there were many famous operators standing beside them.

And on the walls of the Mantuen fortress, there are also many soldiers.

Some of them were armed with halberds and some with crossbows, and they wanted to storm the Mantuen Fortress from the outside. Considering An Rui’s 18,000-strong force, the casualties would be huge.

More than 20 people from An Rui, holding the banner of Earl Matthew, walked along the dirt road leading to the fortress of Mantuen, passed through the military camp, and arrived at the gate of the fortress of Mantuen.

However, the guards at the city gate were not as easy to deal with as the garrison outside. A guard saw this strange cavalry unit and asked, “Where are you from?”

The baron scolded: “I am the baron from the Valois forest. I am loyal to the earl. I have an urgent military situation to report to the earl. If you don’t want to die, get out of the way.”

This is the attitude of nobles towards commoners, correct your attitude and show your momentum, because you are a noble.

As he spoke, he showed the object that proved his allegiance to Matthew: “Go away!”

When the guard saw it, he immediately greeted An Rui and his party respectfully.

At this time, Ma Xiu was at the height of the Mantuen Fortress, looking at the Carinthian Army on the other side of the river. The Carinthian Army who was building the high platform suddenly stopped and returned to the barracks.

Matthew said strangely: “What are these guys going to do? Withdrawal? It’s not like that.”

After a while, I heard the sound of horns coming from the barracks on the other side of the river.

Matthew knew this voice. After all, the Carinthian Army had been stationed on the other side for so long, and this voice represented the gathering of the Carinthian Army.

Soon, I saw the Carinthian Army on the other side of the river trotting out of the barracks, forming a square formation one by one, standing on the other side of the river.

At the same time, there were many soldiers behind them pulling small wooden boats and standing at the end of the team.

Matthew wondered: “Is the Carinthian army ready to cross the river with our crossbow bolts and ballista?”

“Lord Count, look!”

Matthew’s deputy pointed to a place not far from the Carinthian army camp, and saw two more Carinthian teams appear.

They rode a horse-drawn carriage with a small wooden boat on top of it.

“Carinthia has increased troops?”

In this way, the Carinthian Army on the south bank reached a scale of 5,000 people.

Although the Carinthian army was invincible on the south bank, it was only to deal with the stupid brother of Hefan.

If the head iron hit the defense line on the north shore, even if it was 50,000 people, Matthew believed that his army of 60,000 people inside and outside the Mantuen fortress could deal with the army of Carinthia.

This is not just an army of ordinary imperial soldiers, but also many mages and those who are strong.

After the Carinthian army on the south bank was assembled,

The wooden boat had been towed to the river, and the soldiers of Carinthia had begun to board.

Matthew looked at the number of small wooden boats and estimated that the first group of people who crossed the river in Carinthia would not exceed 100 people.

Although the ballistas of the Mantuen Fortress could not be fired at the opposite bank, they could attack the Carinthian army who had crossed the river halfway, plus the magic array outside.

These 1,000 people, 1,000 people crossing the river, I am afraid it is not the rhythm of the commander of Carinthia who is thinking about giving away for nothing.

Even if the Carinthian army landed, they would immediately be surrounded by 30,000 troops stationed outside the city. Matthew did not panic at all, and at the same time ordered: “Let the troops outside prepare to guard against the attack from the other side of the river.

In addition, quickly transport the magic spar to the magician of the magic array, the magic array needs to be replenished.

”

As the alarm bell rang in the fortress of Mantuen, the entire army inside and outside the fortress immediately mobilized and began to gather by the river, ready to eat the 5,000 people who crossed the river in one fell swoop.

However, at this time, they didn’t notice at all that a Carinthian army of more than 18,000 people jumped out from the Valuwa Forest in the northwest, and they were rapidly moving outside the Mantoun Fortress.

More than ten minutes later, when the Carinthian soldiers on the small wooden boats on the south bank of the Alan River all boarded the Carinthian soldiers, just when Matthew thought that the Carinthian army on the south bank was going to cross the river, he heard the sound of “Rumble” and suddenly came from the northwest. The direction rang.

Matthew’s body trembled, and he was shocked, and quickly asked: “What’s going on!!!?”

“boom!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

Looking at the magic array below, I saw a dense number of solid bullets falling into the array, and the rolling shells immediately worried the magicians in the array.

A guard rushed over in a panic: “Lord Count! It’s not good! The army of Carinthia appeared in the northwest!”

This army of Carinthia used the friendly troops on the south bank of the river to attract the attention of the defenders of the Mantuen fortress, and borrowed the rolling hills of the highlands to escape the lookout of the Mantuen fortress, and suddenly appeared in the Mantuen fortress. outside the fortress.

The artillery “rumbled” and poured the shells on the magic arrays that were extremely threatening, and the infantrymen had also completed the preparation of the arrays, and began to listen to the drum beats, carrying flintlock guns, step by step toward Man. Go to the garrison barracks outside the Thun fortress.

“Damn, when did the Carinthian Army appear in the northwest?

How did they get there?

It’s Duran over there. Could it be that they crossed Duran?

”

The defenders outside the city who were still preparing to deal with the Carinthian army crossing the river on the south bank suddenly panicked under the shelling.

The cavalry commander took the lead in holding the team, gathered it, drew out the dagger, swung it, and began to charge towards the Carinthian army in the northwest.

“Quick! Brothers, follow me!

The large staffs of the Carinthian Army have very short casting intervals, and we only need to kill those Carinthian mages who sing and cast spells!

”

The cavalry commander’s eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the artillery threatened the defenders.

The magic array outside the city lost a third of it after a round of shelling.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen rushed towards Carinthia’s infantry phalanx. As long as they passed this group of infantry, they could attack the Carinthian magician who released powerful magic behind them.

The cavalry lined up suddenly turned into an array of arrows. They found a point that seemed to have a large gap and rushed up, trying to concentrate their strength to attack a point, thereby opening the gap.

“Dong dong dong dong dong!”

However, as the war drums of the Carinthian Army pounded hurriedly, the Carinthian infantrymen also stopped.

As the bugleman blew the tune of preparation for battle, the battle flag of Carinthia was also raised.

I saw that the Carinthian infantrymen leveled their flintlock guns and aimed at the 1,000-strong cavalry ahead.

“Fire!”

“Bang bang bang bang!”

With an order, the fire flashed, and a white smoke suddenly rose from the muzzle.

“Damn, we encountered Carinthia’s magic army!!”

Although the Carinthian Army on the other side had fought with the water elements, most of the defenders outside the Mantoun fortress could not see how the battle was fought, nor did they know the musket, so they put the flintlock in the hands of the Carinthian Army. The gun was used as a staff.

Those charging cavalrymen were like encountering the scythe of the god of death.

The cavalry commander was shot in the chest with a puff. He never imagined that the Carinthian army turned out to be a per capita magician, and each of them had a staff to release attack magic.

The commander only felt that the magic bullet in his chest had a fiery aura. He didn’t know if the magic bullet was mixed with fire elements or something.

The commander, who had pain in his chest, fell off his horse with a thud.
