The soldiers of the defenders were better, and knew that they were lying under the battlements to avoid the shelling, and the young men who had been temporarily conscripted did not know this, and when they saw the shells falling as if they didn't need money, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and the morale that Earl Ian had finally mustered up suddenly dissipated.

The artillery regiment fired incessantly, and they were ordered to destroy the defenses of the city and the morale of the defenders at any cost.

In the past, in addition to being able to test their hands with two shells during training, where did they have the opportunity to fire shells so heartily, the soldiers of the artillery regiment took turns to take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the operation of artillery.

From time to time, you make judgments, such as you missed the shot, you didn't have the shooter, etc.

The cannon fire continued, and the infantry legions of the Earl Meredith began to advance slowly.

The soldiers in the front row held high the tower shield to protect their bodies tightly, and there were no gaps, and the soldiers in the back row also used round shields to protect the top of their heads to protect their vital parts.

Under such strict protection, there will be no danger unless you are extremely unlucky.

As the infantry corps advanced, the siege equipment also slowly moved, and the rushing carts that were as high as the city walls, the battering rams with huge ramming angles, and the catapults full of gunpowder all made the morale of the defenders plummet.

The trolley is a siege weapon, which is similar to the supermarket trolley we commonly use, except that the trolley transports things, and the trolley transports people.

The iron-clad box is resistant to any arrows, and does no damage to those hiding inside, unless it is bombarded with a crossbow or cannon.

When the chariot comes into contact with the city wall, the baffle in front can be directly placed on the city wall as a pedal, so that the soldiers inside can rush up the city wall.

And there were enough of twenty of them to attack Xicheng alone, and they could send four hundred soldiers to the city at a time.

Then there is the ladder, which is not an ordinary ladder, but something similar to an elevator, but it cannot turn on its own and requires soldiers to climb it themselves.

When the front section of the ladder comes into contact with the battlements of the city wall, the grappling hook and caliper in the front can automatically fall down to firmly fix the ladder and the city wall, and the 30-degree slope in the rear is enough to transport the soldiers to the city wall continuously.

If this does not successfully capture the city, it can only mean that the soldiers of the county of Meredith are slacking off.

Of course, the breaching of the city walls is only the beginning, and the most brutal battles will be street fighting.

gradually

ground, rushing carts and ladders overtook the infantry phalanx.

The defenders on the city walls noticed this scene and tried to resist, but they could not raise their heads under the suppression of artillery fire, and could only occasionally make aimless projectiles, hoping that the god of luck would come and stop the enemy's advance.

Twenty minutes later, the artillery roar stopped abruptly.

The defenders only felt a buzzing in their ears, and they couldn't even hear the orders clearly.

In twenty minutes, nearly 30,000 shells fell on the city, such a spectacular sight was extremely rare in this era, but they were fortunate enough to experience it once, and when they were old, they also had the capital to talk about it, provided that they survived the battle.

The shelling did not cause many casualties among the defenders, but the young men who had been improvised were killed, wounded, and maimed, and the rest did not know where to go.

The officers were the first to react and roared loudly: "Counterattack! Fire! Fire! Fire, ...... arrows."

However, when he saw the scene outside the city, all the words that followed were blocked in his throat, the infantry phalanx had long passed the artillery coverage area, and the tall rushing cart was less than twenty meters away from him.

After a stunned effort, the rain of arrows poured down, and dozens of soldiers at the head of the city immediately fell.

The archers in the tower had the heart to fight back, but every time they looked up, at least ten musketeers would shoot at the same time, leaving them weak.

Three minutes later, there was a rumbling sound of the rushing car hitting the city wall, and the front section of the ladder also clicked on the head of the city.

The officer immediately realized that it was not good, and opened his mouth to remind: "Pry off the caliper." ”

Before he could finish his sentence, two sharp arrows swept over his head, and the sound of the wind pierced his eardrums.

Immediately after, two screams sounded from behind him, and he twisted his neck to see that the two young men who were responsible for carrying the rolling logs to the city had fallen in a pool of blood, and their gradually dilated eyes showed the loss of two fresh lives.

The officer couldn't imagine that if the movement of shrinking his head just now was half a beat slower, it was probably himself who was crucified to the ground.

Realizing this, the officer no longer dared to look up, let alone shout loudly to attract attention.

After such a delay, the plank in front of the rushing car was slapped down, and a few unlucky soldiers were directly pressed down and slapped into meat paste.

Suddenly

, shouting and killing.

The soldiers hiding in the rushing car were all from the trapped camp and the Death Camp, and they showed unparalleled courage in the face of the enemy, even if they were in front of them with a mountain of swords and fire, they still rushed away as if they were dead.

Four hundred elite soldiers fought evenly against thousands of defenders, and soon the other soldiers also climbed the city through the ladder and joined the melee.

Catapults began to frantically drop explosive packs into the walls to prevent enemy reinforcements from coming to the city.

Dozens of powerful soldiers pushed the battering ram, and the gate was really strong, and it only trembled slightly under the impact of the battering ram.

After several failed attempts, the soldiers began to plant explosives under the gates, preparing to see if they could blow them open, or even if they could blow a hole under the gates.

After the rumbling explosion, the stones flew everywhere, and the soldiers were surprised to find that the ground had only been blown out of a gap of less than twenty centimeters, and it was estimated that only children could climb through this gap.

Someone had the courage to step forward to check, couldn't help but gasp a few breaths of cold air, and then said with a bitter face: "Damn, there is molten iron poured down there." ”

The team attacking the gates lost, and the teams attacking the walls did not gain any advantage.

If things go according to plan, they can take the walls in half an hour and then start preparing for street fighting.

It's a pity that just when the city wall was about to be taken, a large number of black-robed people came from nowhere, all of them had the strength of a fighting warrior, and even the strength of a legendary warrior, and they directly defeated the Death Camp and the trapped camp.

The black-robed man who took the lead spoke in a cold tone, and ordered in a tone that could not be questioned: "Destroy these rushing cars and ladders. ”

As he spoke, a rich dark element converged in his hands: "The momentum belonging to the legendary mage exploded violently. ”

However, before the magic in the black-robed man's hand could condense and take shape, two demon-breaking arrows mixed with unparalleled power went straight to his face.

The black-robed man's entire face was hidden in the robe, and he couldn't see his expression at all, but it was certain from his embarrassed and evasive image that his complexion was by no means good-looking.

Immediately afterwards, two people walked out of the rushing car, both with a very disdainful smile on the corner of their mouths, Larry put away his bow and arrows, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to destroy the rushing car?"

Lauren held his two-handed sword and said in a deep voice: "Don't delay time, hurry up and get rid of these guys." ”
