It wasn't until the early morning of the next day, when Li Ang launched a formal attack from the front wall, that Brigi realized that he had been fooled.
So he immediately closed the secret door and rushed to the front wall with his men who were ambushing here to redefine the city wall.
But his men had been squatting in the wild and in various corners all night, and had been maintaining a high degree of tension. Now they were exhausted. Only at this time did they urgently move the defense area. This group of people basically seemed to have lost their souls.
No matter how elite the troops are, they won't have much combat power left in this situation. After all, people need to rest - so Risadiran wanders around with the recruits who do odd jobs at night, because they don't have to participate in the battle during the day...
But Brigi is obviously not prepared for this.
In addition, the people under Brigi, including Brigi himself, are all drug addicts.
Although after weaning them off the drugs, these drug-addicted guys would indeed go crazy when fighting, the problem is that they didn't fight at all that night, they just fed mosquitoes...
This is the biggest problem with addicts - they get sleepy and tired easily.
Perhaps they still possess skilled combat skills, but the poison has long corroded their endurance and weakened their acumen and will as warriors.
Even under normal schedules, these guys are yawning all day long, let alone staying up all night?
Therefore, this group of weak drug addicts now have to fight but have no fighting spirit, and have no physical strength. They have stopped taking the drug for a day and a half longer than expected, and most of them are now in a state of having green eyes and garlic on their feet.
In fact, Brigi made a seemingly correct wrong decision at this time...
This is probably a small mistake that most people are not aware of - he should not have let these addicts who were lying in wait all night and were in a state of exhaustion go up to the city wall to set up defenses.
Because there were originally some defenders on the city wall, and they were elite troops under Kadan, Dexia Windrider.
Although Kadan took away most of his troops, there were still dozens of Windrider left in Toba City, as well as more than 300 "Dexia Juechen" led by Windrider.
'Windrider' is a title that can only be obtained by sharpshooters who are good at riding and shooting. This is the personal guard unit of Kadan. The number of this pro-army unit is also called 'Windrider Legion'.
This is the result of Kadan's implementation of his hereditary lord enfeoffment system in Dexia.
Windrider's status in Dexia is roughly equivalent to the Pande Continent's knights in other countries.
These Windrider, like ordinary knights, also have their own retinues, or sergeants who cooperate in combat. The sergeant unit they lead is called the "Juechen Ones".
But the 'Jue Chen Zhe' is not a mounted archer. Accurate mounted shooting in a desert environment is much more difficult than in the plains, and not everyone can learn it.
The Juechen are fast cavalry. They usually fight with swords, shields or lances, which can perfectly coordinate with the Windriders who are good at riding and shooting.
In their familiar desert environment, Windrider Legion's combat effectiveness is considerable.
Although they were defending the city at this time rather than the desert, which was more suitable for them to exert their combat power, the skilled Windrider Legion was still very reliable. Even though there were only a few hundred people, the city defense was well laid out. It seemed very likely that it would cause considerable trouble for Li Ang's army.
But at this time, Brigi sent his exhausted troops to the city wall...
This indeed replenished the manpower of the city defense, but after those weak drug addicts occupied the positions originally guarded by the Windriders, it caused various problems in the city defense...
These guys who stopped taking their medicine for two or three days, were exhausted physically and mentally, and were confused and confused, disrupted the original reasonable arrangements of Windrider.
These yawning guys don't even know when to place thornwood or when to plug the gaps. They are all scurrying around the city wall like headless flies...
Not only that, these guys from Xingar also had conflicts with the Dexia Windriders - the Dexia Windriders actually realized that the city defense had been disrupted, so they kept scolding people and anxiously planned to drive those Xingars or temptresses who were in unreasonable positions to the appropriate positions.
Of course Windriders will be impatient. Li Ang's army has already begun to attack the city, but this group of drug addicts is in the way, so of course their actions are more rough - they even wish that these group of drug addicts would die quickly to avoid getting in the way.
Windrider and Xingar have different beliefs and nationalities. Even in normal times, conflicts are easy to occur. Moreover, Brigi's men are now tired and crazy...
As a result, they actually started fighting among themselves!
Defending the city requires rationality, it is not feasible to rely on a group of guys who are crazy due to drug withdrawal...
Moreover, more troops are not always better.
If Kadan himself was in the city, he would definitely be aware of the problem.
And Kadan can also make everyone obey orders completely.
But the problem is that Kadan is not here, he did go to Xingar.
Brigi cannot command Kadan's personal guards. Dexia Windriders simply look down on this magic stick who controls the troops through poison and deception.
At this time, there was neither a reasonable city defense deployment nor a unified commander on Toba City, and they were even fighting - a group of Xingar spearmen and Dexia Windrider fought on the top of the city...
At this time, Li Ang was leading the army in trying the first wave of tentative attacks.
He did not send the main force in this wave of attacks, because it was originally just to test the strength of Toba City's city defense, and also to keep the attack going so that Brigi's troops on the city would be even more exhausted and unable to repair themselves.
But what Li Ang didn't expect was that this tentative attack with a second-line force composed of other lords and knights actually succeeded in scaling the city wall and gaining a foothold on the city wall...
The enemy was not even able to drive back the troops who had attacked the city. This second-line army actually occupied half of the city wall, which also included two arrow towers and a military station...
This means that the army can continuously mount the wall. If the military station on this wall is captured, the defenders in the city will actually be unable to mount the wall - there is a military station on each city wall, which is both a place for troops to be stationed and a passage for people in the city to climb the wall.
The city's defense strength is much lower than expected, and the enemy troops in the city are still fighting with each other at this time...
And it was definitely not a show, because Li Ang saw with his own eyes that several Xingar spearmen were chopped off from the city wall by Dexia Windrider and fell on the ground outside the city. Two of them survived and were rolling and groaning in pain under the city.
The lord felt that it was quite unreal at this moment - is this such a childish thing?
Toba City is also the capital of Dexia after all! Faced with a large army attacking the city, you actually still have internal strife?
Do you look down on me?
"Sir, this is a good opportunity, let's attack directly!"
Even Kloze realized something was wrong in the city and began to take the initiative to ask for help.
So Li Ang simply stopped trying. In this situation, he could fully demonstrate his "bravery" as a marshal.
Of course, the most important thing is not to let those small lords lead the second-line troops to capture the city. The one who breaks the city must be Li Ang himself, otherwise it will be easy to argue over the loot...
So Li Ang drew his sword and decided to lead the army to attack the city in person. "Silver Hand, follow me forward!"
"Kill!"
Kloze shouted and led his brothers to follow Li Ang and start climbing the siege ladder.
The army began to make a noise, and Li Ang's own elite troops were dispatched. The siege was much more powerful than before, and the entire city wall was completely conquered within ten minutes.
Those Windriders no longer fought with Brigi's men. They abandoned the city wall and all retreated into the streets and alleys of the city.
But Brigi's men were not so rational. This group of drug addicts did not back down, but they actually showed a certain degree of fighting power at this time - when IQ was no longer needed and only chaos was needed, these people who were crazy because of drug withdrawal did have good lethality.
But by this time it was already too late.
After occupying the city wall, Li Ang's troops instead caused damage from a high position. Although the addicts under Brigi were crazy, their fatigue and terrain disadvantages were irreparable.
Silver Hand has been advancing continuously. After creating hundreds of corpses, the area near the city wall was quickly cleared.
Li Ang and Griffin flag have been inserted into the city wall, the city gate has been opened, and the large forces outside the city have begun to enter the city.
Toba City, looks like it's about to be captured?
At this time, the sun was only halfway up in the sky, and less than two hours had passed since Li Ang launched its attack.
"Sir, you'd better not rush into the city... I'll just go and plant your flag on the inner fort."
Following Li Ang was still holding the banner, Jocelyn. The former Twilight Knight has now become the official Bannerlord. It seems that he attaches great importance to this honorary position and behaves very conscientiously.
"That's right, sir, you can just watch the battle from the city wall and leave the rest to us... These people are not worthy of your personal action."
Kloze also expressed the same opinion.
Li Ang certainly did not refuse the goodwill shown to him by his subordinates, but he just gave one instruction. "Kloze, you are responsible for occupying the material warehouses in the city, especially Kadan's treasury...Jocelyn, you are responsible for capturing the Toba City inner fort, but I need to completely take over the Bahad Khan royal court, so don't destroy that place."
The two subordinates each led their troops to rush into the city. Kloze took Silver Hand to find the bank, while Jocelyn took Li Ang's non-commissioned officers to the direction of the inner fort.
And Li Ang stayed in the military station on the city wall.
Risadiran also came back with the recruits who harassed Brigi all night. They now became the left-behind personnel in the camp outside the city - they needed to catch up on their sleep.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but at this moment, Li Ang heard an unusual sound.
"Rebellion! Die!"
It was a sound coming from the streets in the city. It was normal to have such a roar on the battlefield, but the problem was that the sound was not too loud, but it was very clear. It was obviously very unusual for it to be able to drown out the shouts of killing in the entire city in the chaotic and noisy battlefield.
This is exactly the same cry that Sir Roland made.
Moreover, after this sound was made, Li Ang saw his handsome flag falling!
The distance is far, and the streets and alleys in the city block the view from the street. Li Ang can only see the conspicuous handsome flag on the city wall, which is also the location of Jocelyn.
The handsome flag fell, which is a big deal.
Under normal circumstances, the flag bearer next to Bannerlord or Bannerlord will quickly raise the flag again in this case, so as not to cause the troops in other positions to think that the front army has been defeated.
If the control is not good and the flag is never raised again, it is very likely that the rear army will turn into an inexplicable rout.
But Li Ang waited for a full minute, and the flag was still not raised again.
Jocelyn Something happened!
Li Ang immediately got off the city wall and rushed to Jocelyn's location with Wendy.
Jocelyn is really in trouble at the moment.
He is still wearing two layers of heavy armor, but he is not riding a horse - fighting in the streets of the city, his Gato Beast has no effect other than blocking the road.
Anyway, he didn't intend to fight while holding the flag, and the heavy armor on his body was enough to block Dexian people's saber. His two layers of composite armor were really thick. Although it was quite difficult to walk after wearing it, Dexian people really couldn't cut him without riding a horse...
So Jocelyn never paid attention to Dexian people's saber - if it didn't have the speed of the horse, it would be like scraping him.
However, when a group of knights wearing devil horned helmets and black armor suddenly appeared from the alley, Jocelyn didn't dare to be so pretentious anymore.
That was his former comrade-in-arms.
Twilight Knight.
"Jocelyn... The rebels must die!"
The leader, Twilight Knight, was extremely skilled. He stabbed the two noncommissioned officers next to Jocelyn with his knight sword and quickly cut off the team in the street fight.
Other Twilight Knights also swarmed up to block the soldiers behind them. These Twilight Knights were well-equipped and very skilled. Jocelyns were already in the streets, and the troops behind them
It was impossible to break through them for a while, and Jocelyn was trapped for a while.
The handsome flag must be unable to be lifted, and the double-layered heavy armor on his body restricted Jocelyn's skills at this time - Twilight Knight's sword is different from the saber.
Jocelyn was blocking left and right, but the weight was too heavy and he was not flexible enough, making him quite passive.
"Alistair, you actually help Dexian people fight?!"
Jocelyn shouted angrily.
"I'm just chasing the rebels..."
The Twilight Knight named Alistair shook his head, raised his sword again and stabbed Jocelyn.
"Fart! Rushing into the army battlefield to hunt down the rebels? Alistair, do you think I'm a fool?"
Jocelyn struggled to block Alistair's sword, and the two Twilight Knight swords met at the sword's hilt and began to wrestle.
"You are a fool to begin with... What did becoming a rebel of the Knights bring you? It seems that you don't know what you gave up..."
Alistair glanced the two swords to his side with force, ducked and drew out the sword, broke away from the wrestling state, and launched the attack again.
Jocelyn stopped talking. He and Alistair's martial arts were probably on par, but he carried too much weight and consumed more energy than Alistair. He didn't dare to be distracted anymore.
Moreover, there were several Twilight Knight behind him, but these knights did not take action against Jocelyn. Instead, they stared at the back of the street, seeming to maintain this one-on-one battle.
"Jocelyn, if you surrender and follow me back to Xingar, I may be able to give you a chance to survive..."
Alistair is still chattering while launching attacks, but it seems that he does not want other Twilight Knights to interfere in the battle between him and Jocelyn - otherwise he can solve the battle by letting several other Twilight Knights swarm up.
"Alistair... Are you trying to tease me? I know what I will face when I return to Xingar..."
Jocelyn said breathlessly. He managed to hold on in this situation for several minutes. The thick armor consumed too much of his strength, and his steps were no longer flexible.
At this time, Jocelyn could no longer block Alistair's sword.
Alistair's sword did stab Jocelyn's neck.
But at this moment, a Noldo arrows fell from the sky and penetrated the arm of Alistair holding the sword.
