The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 115: Detaining Attacks

The mercenaries retreated away from the wall so as not to be hit by arrows, they rested for a while and recovered the wounded.

After resting for so long, they attacked by forming a formation of walls and a shield roof.

The troops at the post were firing at the mercenaries continuously, but they were closing in continuously on the wall.

After the archers on the wall of the defensive post stopped, the shield roof opened a gap and there were archers in the crowd of mercenaries.

They missed the arrows, the fellows there who had run out of dead arrows were being harvested by the mercenaries.

Instantly the front mercenaries ran up to the gate and smashed the gate with axes and spears.

There were more archers replacing the archers who were killed earlier.

Hence they remained in the position of the shield roof formation to protect the archers.

The other mercenaries also advanced boldly with the formation of the walls and the shield roof

They approached the first invading troops, they did the same, the front row immediately ran to the gate and helped destroy the wooden gate.

When they smashed the gates with axes, they knew there was a large army inside.

Hence their leader sent some people to advance with the shield roof formation.

While the commander in the defense post shouted command them all.

"All of you heard!!, the enemy will enter the gate, we just pushed them"

"Yeah!!"

:Two rows of spearmen in front set up a shield wall formation and brandished the spear!!"

The soldier quickly moved to form a formation.

"Infantry troops!!, march behind the spearmen!!"

"Then the archers were at the very back and divided in two on the right and left sides of the infantry troops"

The commander arranged their formation, and the commander also placed a wooden peg barrier arranged in front.

"We wait for them to come and then we'll slaughter them"

The few troops who advanced and damaged the gate started to excitedly look at the cracked wooden gate.

"Bring your axe stronger!!"

"A little more the walls will be destroyed!!"

They continued to spirit and destroy the wooden gate until a large hole appeared in the gate.

The two armies looked at each other and the mercenaries wanted to quickly destroy the gate.

After a few blows, his wooden gate shattered and the mercenaries ran and shouted at the spearmen.

The spearmen reinforced his position when the troops collided, they were pushed back but the spearmen pierced them as well.

On the left they were unaware that there were other spearmen, they threw spears at the mercenaries who formed a shield wall formation.

The mercenaries were dead and everyone was shocked and confused to protect themselves.

For on the front and left are two dangerous armies.

But the mercenaries were not afraid as many entered the defensive post.

They also attacked the spearmen who used their secondary weapons, namely swords.

"Boong!!" Shouted the commander who was on the balcony of the mansion.

Archers on the right of the Estrandian army began to shoot them, and the infantry came out of line and attacked the mercenaries.

The infantrymen, both right and left, advanced and surrounded them.

But the mercenaries carrying the huge axe made it difficult for them, their hands shaking while raising the shield to protect against the axe attack.

While the spearmen who turned into infantry hit them with shields and killed the mercenaries.

The Estrandian army was very superior and controlled the way of battle, but they were defeated by a large number.

There were mercenaries against nine hundred and sixty Estrandian warriors

Although quality can win over quantity but if those who excel too little and are mulled by a lot of quantity, they are equally lost despite having an advantage.

But they did not see any troops heading to the post.

They threw away their hopes and focused on pushing them out of the wall and killing them.

All the spearmen and infantry were making huge formations, they were marching very long once forming a net and advancing pushing them all the way to the gate.

The mercenary leader also placed the Archers on the wall and above the city gate.

As the archers marched, they missed many arrows and hit several soldiers who had to retreat backwards and be replaced by other soldiers.

The commander retaliated by placing half the archers on the balcony of the mansion.

Incidentally there is wood burned in an iron container to make fire, and also curtain cloth.

The commander had one of the soldiers bring oil.

"Take a lot of oil, and you archers, take out all your arrows and tie this cloth to your arrows"

The archers below were still competing with the enemy archers standing on the wall

Taking cover, all the archers wrapped all the arrows in cloth.

Then they dipped the cloth in oil.

Now, they were ready to burn their enemies.

They made one of their arrows which was placed below.

"Burn that cloth and quickly aim at the enemy"

The archers gathered in an iron container with fire.

As the arrows caught fire, they immediately lined up and took aim.

The commander gave them an aba.

"Take it off now"

The fire arrows shot out and hit the enemy archers and enemy soldiers who were near the gate.

All the soldiers cheered and pushed them because their formation was weak.

Then the archers behind them went to the wall and shot them.

And the archers also saw a terrible sight, one of the archers went to the balcony and told their commander.

"Commander!!, there are still many enemy troops far from the wall, they are preparing to attack!!"

"Damn it!!"

The commander shouted to all his troops.

"We will fight here to the death, the blind are the entrance of the second city in the territory of Estrandia!!"

All those soldiers cheered loudly and welcomed their fate of dying as warriors.

"Fight to death!!"

"Don't let them through!!"

The commander reassembled his troops, all the archers put on the wall.

Then still in the same Formation, the infantry and the spearmen tightened their shields.

The commander placed five archers in front of the spearmen.

As the mercenaries moved to attack, a large army emerged from behind the defensive outpost.

One of the 4 scouts in the four directions of the wall headed for the balcony, he ran and shouted.

"There's a huge army behind us!!they were wearing golden and white armour!!!"

"That must be the army of the theocratic kingdom!!, but I'm not sure, did you not see the flag?" Ask the commander

"I didn't see it because they were so far away from here" replied the scout

"Send two horsemen to meet the troops"

"All right!!"
