Chapter 102 Battle of Thor Fortress (Night Attack)

"Order the soldiers to withdraw." Xia Wuyou said imsurably, "It seems that we can't expand our results today."

"Yes, General, we have indeed not made any progress for two days in a row." With a hint of ridicule, the eldest prince Ye Shengwu said with an ugly face.

"Order the troops to retreat back to the camp, rest and rectify, repair the siege weapons, and tomorrow the whole army will attack the Thor Fortress!" Xia Wu said hatefully.

"General Xia Wuyou, I will go back to my barracks first." The eldest prince made a sound, turned around and walked out of the big account with several soldiers.

The order soon came out, and the besieged army of the Yongye Empire began to bury the pot to make rice. The soldiers returned to the tent, took off their blood-filled armor, and fought with each other, as if they were celebrating their return from the battlefield alive. Some were cleaning their wounds with water, like cubs licking their wounds.

On the other side, on the wall of the Thor Fortress of the Holy Empire, veteran Brown stood there, listening to his officers report the loss of the day. Teams of wounded soldiers passed by him and carefully saluted when they passed by.

"The enemy's attack is more and more fierce, and the eastern wall has been almost broken several times. The enemy has been very focused on using magic to attack the wall. On the wall that has been attacked, our defense magic array has almost been consumed." A quiet officer reported.

"In order to prevent the fierce attack of the enemy in the west, the overdraft of bows and arrows is as high as 200%. We don't have much reserve materials on our side. Before the war, we thought it was enough, but who knew that it was not enough." Another officer also reported.

"Well, don't complain. Organize local laborers and civilians to repair the walls. The soldiers should take time to rest. You should also sleep well. It is expected that the enemy will not attack overnight. They also need to rest. Siege the city is not a light job." Brown said with a smile, which made the other generals laugh.

"Well, let's make a joke. Let's arrange a business. Tonight, we will launch an attack to destroy the enemy's siege weapons, disrupt the enemy's rest, and relieve the pressure on the Thor Fortress tomorrow. The attack is dominated by the 51st and 52nd Cavalry Corps. I will keep the 53rd Cavalry Corps for the last use. This is the victory or defeat. Gentlemen, the commander of the Leo Legion and the commander of the Wick Legion. Today, you attacked the White Tiger Army and the Rosefinch Army respectively. God bless you will always be engraved on the monument of merit of the Holy Empire. General Brown said solemnly.

"We are willing to fight to the death and buy time for Thor Fortress!" The two smiled gently and said together, as if they were not going to perform a nine-death mission tonight, but going to play.

"After you get out of the gate, I will then block these two gates. After you win, you can only return from the only main gate. Remember." Brown finished speaking, looked at his two subordinates and sighed gently.

"H Long live the gods! Long live the Holy Empire!" The two said with devout faces.

It was a cold winter night. Most of the soldiers got into the camp and fell asleep together. A few patrol soldiers were also shivering with cold and shrinking in the corner to avoid the strong wind. The occasional gasps of war horses, the soldiers' chat, and the most annoying snoring, prove that this dead barracks is actually full of vitality.

Suddenly, there was a heartbreaking scream, followed by a question: "Who is it? Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Then there were more screams.

The soldiers have rushed out of the camp, and the slightly slower ones have lit torches and begun to wear armor. The whole camp is in chaos.

Suddenly I heard a shout: "For the sake of the Holy Empire, charge!" Then the dull horseshoe sound became more and more dense and clear. Then I saw a tall horse crossing the low fence of the camp, carrying a knight with a long sword, rushing into the barracks like a fierce ghost.

"It's the Holy Imperial Cavalry, fight back!" An officer gave the order. However, no one listened to him, and more people chose to escape and abandon their armor all the way to a safer place. Some tenacious troops, led by commanders, besieged the city in a circular formation, with shields and long guns, and began to fight back against the sacred imperial cavalry that rushed into the camp.

"Shield soldier, top up, top up! Limit the speed of these cavalry and don't let them rush!" An officer of the Eternal Night Empire seemed to know the power of the cavalry and ordered loudly: "Shanders, line up and protect the archers."

"Archer, shoot! There is no need to shoot all at the same time. Shoot autonomously and eliminate these invaders. After the initial chaos, the army of the Eternal Night Empire has begun to change from scattered to organized resistance, and the cavalry of the Holy Empire began to cause casualties.

"Don't fall in love with the war, start to set fire and burn down the siege equipment!" A Holy Empire cavalry officer shouted an order, but unfortunately he was hit by a flying bow and arrow, fell off his horseback and fell to the ground motionless. But his order was carried out accurately, and the cavalry of the Holy Empire began to set fire, lighting the tent, crossbow guns and other equipment.

"Fire out, it's on fire." The fire disrupted the Yongye Imperial army, which had just stopped the collapse and wanted to fight back, but the archers still conscientiously aimed at what they thought were the enemy cavalry and attacked one after another. It turned out that in the dark, a large number of archers' indiscriminate attacks would kill more of their own people, and many of the cavalry that counterattacked the Eternal Night Empire, which was mixed with the Holy Empire, were killed together.

The chaotic scene lasted until dawn. In the early morning, the few remaining sacred imperial cavalry returned to the Thor Fortress. They were welcomed by heroes. These cavalry were stained with blood and injuries. Some even fell off their horses and died as soon as they entered the city, but they faithfully completed General Brown's task. It weakened at least 50% of the army of the Eternal Night Empire's siege the next day. 30,000 sacred imperial cavalry were assaulted, killing more than 27,000 people. The commander of Leo was shot dead by random arrows. In the process of leading the assault, the commander of Wick was injured, but was taken back to the sacred fortress by his subordinates.

Compared with the cavalry losses of the Holy Empire, the loss of troops of the Eternal Night Empire is not as great as expected. It was not until after breakfast the next day that the Rosefinch Army turned over from the attack. They took a count and found that the number of people killed and fled by the sneak attack troops was less than 30,000, while the White Tiger Army lost less than 10,000 troops because of better defense, including 2,000 white tiger cavalry who were sent to support the rosefinch army and were killed by archers as enemy arrows.

But the most unacceptable loss was that more than half of the crossbow guns and long ladders of the whole Yongye Empire were burned, and the buildings and catapults were almost 30% damaged, which directly made the Eternal Night Empire give up this day's attack.
