Chapter 498： Castle Fortress

In the castle, an officer held his sword and walked in front of his commander. He reported dejectedly: "Lord Lord, there are soldiers from Ailan Hill everywhere. We have been surrounded."

"How was this fought? How was this battle fought?" The lord in charge of the defense of this castle asked with a sad face, "How can the enemy suddenly drop from the sky?"

He still hasn't figured out why the enemy has already come to the door when he is in the rear and his troops are not fully prepared for battle.

"I have mobilized all the soldiers to the city head... But I don't know how long they can hold on." The officer thought about the so-called soldiers standing on the city head, filled with despair.

Most of the soldiers standing at the head of the city didn't even wear full armor. The weapons in most people's hands were old and old products, and some were even rusty equipment that was eliminated.

However, due to the tight front line, many troops are in urgent need of equipment, and all the reserve military supplies in the castle have been removed, and now only these old equipment are left.

What's more pitiful is that most of these soldiers with outdated weapons are untrained farmers. If it weren't for defending the city, they wouldn't even be able to do basic formations in the wild, let alone fight with each other.

The only thing in the city that can be called combat effectiveness is that he and some serious city guards, plus some magicians, these people add up to less than 80 people. In the face of ordinary enemies, you can also rely on the wall to fight back. For Ailan Hill's troops, this is hard to say.

"You must hold on until dark! Close all the city gates!" The lord knew that the disaster was imminent, but he still ordered: "By tomorrow morning, our reinforcements should arrive."

According to his estimation, the reinforcements should already be in action now. Everyone can see those parachutes flying all over the sky, so the empire's reserve forces should have begun to come from all directions for reinforcements.

His idea is not wrong, the reserve forces of the Kasik Empire are indeed being mobilized, and they also want to reinforce these forces surrounded by paratroopers.

But they really couldn't. When facing the defense line of the paratroopers, they couldn't even make the slightest advance, let alone penetrate the defense line of the Ailan Hill paratroopers and reinforce those stubborn own troops.

Although he didn't believe the dreams of his lord, the officer knew that he could only rely on these dreams to persevere.

So he bowed his head slightly and respectfully exited the room where the lord was. Then he looked worriedly at the sky and found that it was still cloudless.

Outside the castle, the Airenhill paratroopers are liberating a landing infantry fighting vehicle from the buffer device.

They cut the fixed ropes above, and then the driver started the engine to start the new infantry fighting vehicle.

With the roar of the engine, this light infantry fighting vehicle equipped with cannon and anti-tank missiles, accompanied by the three soldiers began to rush towards the selected target not far away.

At the place where the three soldiers landed, light air defense vehicles carrying field air defense missiles began to alert. Many paratroopers gathered into troops and opened up a flat land at the landing site.

The engineering unit set up various tents next to the open space, and many officers helped the communication unit set up high-frequency communication antennas.

The signal soldiers carrying a large number of communication equipment began to work, and the communication quickly became extremely smooth.

There are also construction vehicles that are also fixed on the buffer device. Including tractors and various vehicles used to level the land, and a large amount of quick-drying cement was dropped by the air at the same time.

The construction troops have begun to get busy. They are using these machines, as well as engineering shovel and other equipment, to build a temporary field airfield in the area occupied by the paratroopers.

At the same time, the Alanhill soldiers close to the castle have begun to try to launch the first fortified battle, trying to eliminate the resistance in the castle in front of them, and occupy this goal that threatens the field airport under construction.

At a distance of at least 400 meters from the city wall, Ailan Hill's paratrooper sniper adjusted the scale of his sight and matched the tested wind speed to lock a Kasik Empire soldier standing behind the crenel.

"I have aimed at him." The sniper said to his comrades around him: "You can shoot at any time..."

The deputy archer used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation nearby, and then ordered: "Open fire! Suppress the city head and let our troops come to the city!"

"!" The sniper who could not wait for a long time immediately squeezed the trigger, and a bullet flew over the distance and directly hit the forehead of the Kasik Empire soldier behind the wall crenel.

The Kasik soldier, who didn't even have a helmet, fell down, and fell into a pool of blood without even having time to make a scream.

However, when a soldier fell suddenly, he still attracted the attention of those around him. The comrades on both sides of him immediately looked at the friend who fell on the ground, and then fell to the ground due to the hole in the forehead of the corpse.

"Enemy, enemy attack!" Shivering, a poor Kasik Empire soldier finally shouted what he wanted to say, but he was too late to shout because another soldier fell in response.

With just two shots, the troops in this castle dare not show their heads. They lie on the back of the crenel, through the narrow gap, pointing to the distance.

Then, with another gunshot, another unlucky guy fell behind the crenel. The bullet flew in from a small gap and directly penetrated his throat.

It is completely different from being hit in the head. The person hit in the neck has no way to die immediately.

The man hit by the bullet covered the **** hole in his neck with his hands, opened his mouth, and there was a lot of blood flowing out without waiting for help.

"Ah! Ah! Damn! He's dead! Damn! He's dead!" A farmer who only had a rake as a weapon in his hand was so scared by the **** scene that he couldn't stop shouting.

And accompanied by his cry, taking advantage of the gap between everyone on the city wall and daring to show their heads, the Ailan Hill paratrooper, who was just below the city wall, carrying an m4 assault rifle and hunched over his waist, had already put a plastic bomb. Glued to the heavy wooden door of the castle.

They inserted the detonator on the 4 explosives, then began to pull out the fuse, and installed the other side on the detonator.

When everything was ready, a paratrooper gave a thumbs up to his companion holding the detonator.
