Holy Sword Dynasty

Chapter 507 Porter

"Collection! Gather!" The next day, the soldiers of the 37th Infantry Corps were woken up by the shouts of the officers. Everyone tidyed up their armor and stuffed the sheets and messy things into the lock armor, hoping that the thin thickness could save their lives at the last moment.

ke li got up a long time ago. As the captain, he went to the head of the regiment for a simple pre-war meeting an hour in advance and received the task of their team.

As light infantry, they have no shields, so they don't have to be at the front, but their work is not easy. They are responsible for carrying bows and arrows for archers and sending bullets for crossbow guns, similar to porters.

Don't think they are lucky. In fact, they do the most dangerous work, because they keep moving, so without the protection of shield hands, they are easily hit by weapons thrown by the orc empire on the wall. Bows and arrows and boulders may kill these light infantry at any time.

"I want to make sure that you are all in the right place! Everyone confirms whether their companions are by their side! I don't want deserters! Find your own cover after getting to the wall! You can pick up the shield next to the body or squat behind the huge stones on the wall of the Orc Empire! But you must complete your task! Do you understand?" The regimental commander stood high and made a loud pre-war mobilization: "Long live the fortress empire!"

"H Long live!" All the soldiers shouted, and then groups of infantry rushed up the wall and passed the retreating troops.

They watched in horror as the bloody soldiers walked down the wall and supported their slightly injured comrades-in-arms. Everyone seemed to be as terrible as a mummified corpse crawling back from hell.

"Try to find some boulders as cover later! Don't listen to the leader's nonsense, remember one thing, that is, send ammunition always after avoiding the other party's bow and arrow! We don't have heavy armor and shields, and we don't have those things in our hands. Old Eve gathered the soldiers of the team and whispered.

Before the battle began, they had been ordered to send ammunition to the catapult three times, moved thousands of bows and arrows for the archers, and were ordered to rest at breakfast.

"He is really a thankless job." A soldier leaned against the wall of the tower where their responsible weapons were stored and cursed in a low voice. A corner of the tower had collapsed and the sun shone through the cracks. The whole tower has been brightened up a lot.

Old Eve didn't say anything. He went to Kerry and handed him a few ropes to tie the arrows: "I'll wrap this around my waist. If I can pick up the shield, wrap the shield around my back with these ropes, and maybe I can save my life."

Kerry nodded and wrapped a rope around his waist while hearing the sound of the horn outside. The heavy armored infantry who were sitting outside the door stood up, and the officers shuttled back and forth in the phalanx, shouting precautions and orders loudly.

In a short time, huge stones hit the mouth of the wall, and the broken gravel splashed everywhere and hit the shield of the heavy infantry. The bright red ground seemed to be dry, and it was eroded by fresh **, which scared the light infantry in the tower.

"The No. 6 crossbow ammunition is running out! Send a batch immediately! Hurry up! Let's add it together on the 4th! It seems that they are not enough!" As soon as an officer-like man entered the tower, he threw a shield aside and looked at a room of light infantry.

ke li stood up and replied, "Yes! Let's go!" Each of the soldiers carried a cloth bag and carried four ground round stone projectiles with the cloth bag. After a round of bow and arrow shooting of the orc empire was over, they rushed out in a hurry. The officer who came to report also followed and shielded a soldier who went out with two arrows.

When they went out, there were 4 soldiers in total, but when they came back, there were only 3 soldiers, and one of them was still bleeding. When they returned, the orc empire shot another round of bows and arrows. A soldier was directly hit in the head by a flowing arrow and died crisply. One of the soldiers who came back was scratched by a bow and arrow, and his little finger was missing.

Kerry and Old Eve sent a bow and arrow to the archers' army. When they came back, they looked very ugly and didn't say anything. No one knew what was wrong with them.

In fact, the two of them saw an armored orc infantry killing seven human soldiers in the archer's position. The bodies of the soldiers of the two countries were pushed down the wall and thrown as rolling stones into the siege ladder of the orc empire full of infantry.

After 10 o'clock, the regimental commander came to Kerry's tower with blood, and an officer behind him was wrapped in bandages on his arms and hung in front of his chest.

"Kerry! I want you to choose 5 soldiers to report to the 1st regiment! Just now, the Orc Empire almost broke through their defense, and the commander of Mopol died in battle! Their regiment has suffered heavy losses now! I need infantry!"

After he finished speaking, he went out. It seemed that he was going to find manpower in the next tower. The infantry of the 1st regiment seemed to have to come out of the light infantry. As he walked, he added, "That needs heavy infantry that can fight! Find some hard ones."

"Yes!" Kerry sent the regimental away, picked up two twisted shields from the body of the heavy infantry by the door, threw them aside and asked, "Did anyone volunteer to go there? Everyone has also seen that we have lost 6 people, and it is not safe here.

Several soldiers stood up, and they seemed to feel that going to the front line was no different from here. Kerry nodded, handed the people a few bundles of bows and arrows, asked them to help send them to the archers' position behind the regiment, and then several people set off.

5 people were suddenly lost, and the workload became larger. There was little time to rest in the city tower, and most of the time they were delivering things outside. Therefore, Kerry's team suffered more casualties.

Inspired by old Eve and Kerry, most of the rest of the people picked up abandoned shields and carried them like a turtle, but for these soldiers who desperately want to survive, the word image is 6,000 kilometers away.

At noon, everyone was given a piece of bread, which could be filled with vegetable soup with a helmet full of blood, dust and dandruff. It was rare that everyone also sent more than a dozen peanuts - I heard that this was the aid of the Elf Forest, and the troops did not get it two days ago.

The rest of Kerry and Old Eve were silent, and the atmosphere was very dull. Because 13 soldiers were killed in the morning, there were only 13 in the whole tower, including Kerry himself.

And the real cruel battle usually starts in the afternoon, that is to say, the fierce attack of the orc empire has not actually begun.
