Lord of Rot

Chapter 322 Coming from the sky (page 12)

Li Qi wore plate armor and carried a 200-pound sword on his back. Only the Hippogriff could carry this weight.

Accompanying him were 10 nobles also wearing plate armor and riding war horses.

Their plate armor is not only strong in defense, but also solid and decorated with exquisite and complex patterns.

Behind them are 30 musketeers and 300 fully armed infantry.

The baggage carriage followed at the rear.

Gunpowder, projectiles, dry food, etc. are all on it.

There is also a very strange wooden box that no one can figure out what it is used for.

As a flag bearer, Carrot holds the porcupine flag high and leads the team forward.

Although the recent road construction still failed to connect the three villages with the castle, half of the roads leading out of the Iron Wall Castle were smooth, which greatly improved the marching efficiency.

The team leaves Iron Valley.

A corpse bird flew out first, circled twice in the sky and then lowered its altitude to explore the situation at the nearest dock.

The monkey flag has been planted at the nearest pier in Shuijiandi bordering Iron Valley.

The entire pier has also been closed, leaving only a few ferries moored.

More than twenty soldiers were patrolling, but there was not a single living person in sight.

"The dock in Shuijiandi has been occupied." Li Qi turned to look at the young nobles and said, "There are only about twenty enemies. The priority is to recapture the dock."

"Yes!" 10 young nobles said in unison.

There were more than twenty soldiers in the area, so naturally it was left to the elite nobles to take action first, which would also make a good start.

The war horses came to the front of the team with neat steps.

They raised their hands to press the visors on their helmets and buckled them down.

"click"

The hollow steel mask protected the entire face.

"drive!"

The team rushes out.

With such a short distance and being at the dock, the charge effect was not ideal.

But no matter how unsatisfactory it is, 10 noble cavalry wearing full plate armor and uniforms on their horses are the most invincible existence in this era.

A series of horse hooves sounded, making a deafening sound like thunder.

Slowly close the distance.

The defensive monkey soldiers reacted quickly, but when they rushed out with weapons raised, what they saw was the noble heavy cavalry that was blowing up dust!

charge!

The distance was instantly shortened.

A lance hit a monkey soldier on the chest scales, and the scales were lifted open!

The spear did not stop, denting his chest and ribs.

The soldiers were even pushed away by the rushing force, and rushed into the sky like clouds and mist.

Boom!

He fell to the ground and lost all movement.

Other noble cavalry also knocked away at least one person.

One charge, flying people all over the sky!

Li Qi, who was observing from the sky with a corpse bird, watched as his 10 noble cavalry easily broke through the team of monkey soldiers stationed there, reducing the enemy's strength by half.

He can always control changes in the battle situation.

The noble cavalry on horseback did not distance themselves, let alone launch another attack. They simply abandoned their lances and drew out the long swords at their waists to slash.

A monkey soldier held a shield in one hand and a one-handed sword in the other hand and tried to stab him. He found that the war horse was moving wildly and did not give him a chance to touch it. Whenever he wanted to attack the horse, the nobleman on the horse was already there. Dali slashed at him with his sword.

"when!"

He quickly raised his shield to resist, and struck the shield with a condescending sword, which actually made the hand holding the shield numb.

The soldier tried to block it with his shield and stabbed the nobleman on horseback with his sword from the side.

It was a good idea, and he succeeded.

It was just another "dang" sound.

It was a hit, but the opponent was wearing plate armor, so my sword couldn't do any damage to him.

"Hey!" The war horse turned around and scared the soldiers back.

Taking advantage of the moment when the shield was open, the sword struck.

A head was severed.

The entire battle lasted only a few minutes. It was an all-round crushing of equipment, skills, and even the strengths and weaknesses of the troops.

It’s not right to fight for a long time.

After confirming that the dock was seized, Li Qi led the soldiers closer.

A noble cavalryman who was polishing his sword with leather said: "My lord, there is a prisoner."

Li Qi looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, the trembling monkey soldiers.

"Where are the people at the dock?" he asked.

The soldier replied: "Yes, kill them all."

"That's it"

Li Qi nodded, pulled out the sword saw from his waist, and said to the nobles around him: "The number of enemies is several times ours, and we can't spare any power to do other things, otherwise the marching speed will be seriously affected. so……"

He flicked it with one hand, and the sword saw easily cut into the prisoner's neck.

With a "thud", his head fell to the ground, with a happy look on his face, as if he thought he would survive as a prisoner.

The neck was flat and broken, and blood spurted out.

"...No need for prisoners!"

The ferry at the pier was directly commandeered by Reacher. They did not stay here for too long and took the boat directly north to Longship Castle.

Just as the ferries left one after another, a wooden box that Li Qi specifically asked to stay and placed at the dock suddenly shook.

With a "bang" sound, the box cracked.

Water overflowed from the box and merged into the stream.

A golden figure got into the river along with the water.

After getting into the water, the golden figure continued to dive, completely hiding himself, and then swam quickly to catch up with Li Qi's ferry team.

……

In the water stream, Longboat Castle.

Erin stood on the city wall wearing armor, looking at the camp in the distance where pots were buried for cooking.

There are two thousand elite soldiers outside!

It is said that the monkey leader can mobilize tens of thousands of militiamen to participate in the war in one day. For some reason, they did not mobilize, but these two thousand elite soldiers were enough to make Longship Castle despair.

With Guy's help, the two sisters worked hard to restore the water stream management during this period and accelerated the training of soldiers, but they only managed to pull together a team of 300 people.

The quality of the team is uneven.

Now that they have been besieged for several days, the food in Longship Castle can still sustain the consumption, but the blow to morale is real and almost unbearable.

Erin could only hope that Baron Porcupine would come to support her because he was thinking about the child in Lady Jielin's belly.

"It won't help if he really comes to help."

No matter how rapidly the Porcupine Baron develops, it is impossible to recruit a team of 2,000 people in such a short period of time. If the militiamen are forced to come over, they will only be cannon fodder.

On the one hand, she hoped that Li Qi would come, but on the other hand, she was worried that he would die if he came.

The only thing that makes me sober is that the location of Longboat Castle is excellent. As long as the suspension bridge is not lowered, the river acts as a natural moat. This is the fundamental reason why the monkeys chose to besiege rather than attack.
