Chapter 47: The Battle of the City Wall (1)
"Buzz!" The bowstring sounded, and an enemy fell from the ladder and fell under the wall with a scream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even though he already had the consciousness of killing, even if he understood that he should not show mercy to the enemy-Ye Mo had already heard that these soldiers from the Western Continent had brutally slaughtered the villagers who had not had time to enter the city, but Ye Mo was still a little weak under his feet.
It was not one or two that deprived people of their lives so easily, there were already more than a dozen enemy troops who died under Ye Mo's hands.
Before they died, some were frightened, some were dazed, some were hideous, some were resentful, and some were unwilling. If it weren't for the war years, they would have had a good life.
But in the same way, many of Ye Mo's comrades-in-arms also died in front of Ye Mo.
He could only force himself not to look and not to think.
Ye Mo didn't want to count how many people he had killed.
Because there are so many enemies!
Wave after wave rushed up, climbing up the ladder like ants, shot down by the archers, leaving behind a mountain of corpses under the city walls, and another wave rushed up.
Arrows, bows, archery. Arrows, bows, archery.
The soreness in his arm gradually came up. It stands to reason that the archers should have two or three echelons in rotation. After a long continuous shooting, no matter how strong the arm strength is, the archer will not be able to stand it.
However, no. Since Ye Mo shot the first arrow, he has not rested.
"Throw the log! Push the ladder down! "I don't know where such an order came from, from far and near.
Ye Mo's spirit was shocked, and together with his comrades next to him, he lifted the rolling wood stored on the city wall. Ye Mo's vacant position was immediately filled, and some soldiers put up their shields to push the ladder on the city wall.
However, when Ye Mo lifted it up, he sighed in his heart: this rolling wood was obviously made in a hurry, and the weight was too light and the quantity was not very large.
After forcefully dropping the rolling log off the city wall, Ye Mo did it with his back against the city wall.
There was a scream of the enemy under the city wall, and Ye Mo's heart twitched again.
No matter how many times he heard it, this miserable cry would make him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
The enemy's offensive was blocked by this wave of rolling logs, and the momentum suddenly slowed down. Ye Mo faintly heard the sound of a horn sounding under the city.
Ye Mo took a breath, stood up and looked cautiously at the city.
But he saw that the enemies under the city, which were originally dense, had receded like a tide. Ye Mo took a long breath and sat down under the bunker, his expression relaxed
"Don't let up! And that's not all! The veteran next to him frowned when he saw Ye Mo falling to the ground.
Ye Mo gasped, took a deep breath, and nodded.
"I've heard that several other walls have also been fought. Just now it was only the forward troops, there was no siege equipment, and now they are retreating to rest, eighty percent because the main force is coming! The veteran explained.
Ye Mo nodded and rubbed his arm that was a little sore: "You said... Can we hold on? ”
"It's not whether you can't, it's that you have to keep it!" The veteran's expression suddenly showed some arrogance. "Just with these dog crumbs, you also want to break Lao Tzu's city?"
Ye Mo didn't reply to his words.
Yes, it must be held. The veteran has his own family in the city, and Ye Mo is the same.
My sister is still doing therapy work in the back, so she must be worried about herself. Ye Mo gently rubbed his spatial ring.
"Little brother, did you get married at a young age?" The veteran also saw the ring and asked with some curiosity.
Ye Mo hesitated slightly, but it was hard to say that this was a space ring - for such an ordinary soldier, the space ring was really out of reach, and Ye Mo didn't want to let this uncle who took care of himself feel estranged from himself because of this.
So after hesitating, Ye Mo nodded slightly.
"Tsk, it's really unseemly. I think you're quite honest, little brother, but you have a hand in this regard! How about siblings? ”
"She..." Ye Mo thought of the owner of the other ring, his sister Ye Yu, and his heart was a little more tender. As a military doctor, she was a healer of light. ”
The veteran patted Ye Mo on the shoulder: "Then come on, go back alive, don't let other people's little girls be widowed at a young age..."
Ye Mo looked at this uncle with a look of resentment.
"Hey, look at my mouth!" The veteran scratched his head.
That's when it happened.
"Woooooo
This voice is very familiar to Ye Mo, it is the horn of the enemy!
The faces of the veteran and Ye Mo changed at the same time, and Ye Mo quickly got up and looked carefully at the city.
Dense!
This is what Ye Mo felt at first sight.
When he looked more closely, Ye Mo used the Eagle Eye Technique.
The vision immediately became clear, but at the same time, Ye Mo gasped.
It's not just the infantry that's coming this time. The most famous cavalry units of the Western Continent are not to mention - siege cavalry is no different from infantry.
Ye Mo also saw the siege towers, the huge battering rams, and the catapults standing in the distance.
There are dozens of them!
And the number of enemy troops is definitely in the tens of thousands!
This is just a city wall, and a well-informed veteran Youzi told Ye Mo that the enemy seems to be attacking from all four walls at the same time!
And there are only 3,000 people in the city! Divided into four walls, each with less than a thousand allies!
The ratio of people is one to ten!
This.... How to keep!
At this moment, two white lights suddenly burst into the distance.
Ye Mo immediately recognized that this was a light spell - the effect was to inspire the courage of the blessed person!
Ye Mo suddenly remembered a question that he had been consciously ignoring.
In terms of magician power, they are also lacking!
And after this spell. Ye Mo saw panic in the eyes of other ordinary soldiers.
"Magician! They have magicians! ”
"Where's our magician?"
"Don't be stupid! There are no magicians in this city! ”
"Less fart! Become a team of magicians who have always been there, and don't destroy your morale! But the person who said this was obviously not confident.
Just when the chatter on the city walls was getting louder and louder, and there were even precursors of collapse.
"Notification of the !! of the whole army"
A voice rang out in everyone's ears!
The soldiers who were talking stopped. Ye Mo's eyes lit up, this was the voice of Commander He Ping!
"I'm He Ping, the commander of the Defense Army! Today, the despicable enemy has suddenly attacked the border cities of the Empire, they have brutally slaughtered the people outside the city, and they are going to break through our cities and invade our homeland! ”
"My family, my friends, right in the city!"
"My compatriots, our land, is behind us!"
"We have no way back, and we never can retreat!"
"We are soldiers of the Empire, with a mission to defend the country!"
"Let these dogs know, Bordertown! It's our city! Let them roll back to their kennel! ”
"I, He Ping, swear to live and die with the border city!"
At this moment, everyone on the city wall boiled. Even Ye Mo has a lot of blood in his heart.
All the anger, dissatisfaction, and expectation converged into a loud cry.
"Swear to live and !!die with the border city"
