Chapter 461: Ascending to the City

The first wing, the captain, the captain, the squad leader, all of them were powerful, taking the lead, fighting hard to kill the enemy, which immediately greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the first wing, and they let out angry roars one after another, followed behind their commanders, and launched a fierce attack on the baron's castle.

In the face of the sudden attack of the First Wing, the soldiers on the wall of the Baron's Castle were in a hurry for a while, and then because of the strong strength and condescending position, they occupied a great advantage, and quickly suppressed the First Wing, so that they could not climb the city wall, and the number of casualties became larger and larger.

Half an hour later, more than 10,000 people in the first wing, more than 2,000 people had died, and the losses were extremely great, Gu Wende's face showed a trace of disappointment, and he gave the order to retreat.

As Gu Wende's order was issued, the crisp sound of metal sounded in the battlefield, and the soldiers of the First Wing, who were besieging the city, retreated to the rear like a tide.

Seeing the retreat of the First Wing, the soldiers on the city wall immediately intensified their offensive, and one after another sharp arrows, like a torrential rain, poured down on the bodies of the soldiers of the First Wing, shooting one soldier after another under the city wall.

When the First Wing retreated to safety, it once again lost thousands of bodies, which made Gu Wende, who was watching the battle from a distance, shake his head, and the disappointment in his eyes was even stronger.

"The second wing is attacking, without my order, it is not allowed to retreat, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!"

Ignoring the retreating First Wing, Gu Wende set his eyes on the Second Wing and ordered loudly.

Without the slightest hesitation, the 2nd Wing, which had received the order, launched a ferocious attack on the Baron's Castle with the shouts of the 2nd Wing Wing Commander and the Squadron Leader, pushing the siege equipment such as large trebuchets and trebuchets and turret ramming cars.

The performance of the second wing was much better than that of the first wing, and instead of immediately attacking the castle, they now set up a catapult and trebuchet position five hundred meters away, and constantly fired stones at the baron's castle, so that the guards on the castle wall did not dare to raise their heads, and could only hide behind the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the second regiment pushed the arrow tower to set up an arrow tower position a hundred meters away, and a famous archer carried a large number of arrows to the arrow tower, and did not immediately shoot at the soldiers of the baron's castle, but stood quietly on the arrow tower five or six zhang high, looking down on the defenders on the city wall, ready to pour arrow rain on the city defenders on the city wall at any time.

When the arrow tower was ready, the large force of the second wing, scattered, holding shields and carrying ladders, rushed towards the wall of the baron's castle.

At the same time, dozens of archers on the arrow tower also began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, suppressing the soldiers on the castle walls with a rain of arrows, making it impossible to attack the cloud echelon of the second wing.

Under the suppression of dozens of arrow towers, the defending soldiers on the wall of the Baron's Castle were unable to launch a favorable counterattack against the cloud echelon, so that the cloud echelon successfully arrived under the city wall and leaned the cloud ladder against the city wall.

However, after all, the defenders on the walls of the Baron's Castle were numerous, occupying an absolute numerical advantage, and one by one the arrow towers began to exert their might, tilting sharp arrows towards the arrow tower a hundred meters away, suppressing the arrow rain of the arrow tower.

At the same time, the archers on the city wall also opened their bows and shot arrows, tilting sharp arrows towards the soldiers of the second company on Yunti, shooting the soldiers of the second company one by one, and falling under the city wall.

The spearmen on the city wall, after no threat of arrow rain, quickly ran to the ladders one by one, and knocked down the ladders, and the soldiers of the second wing on the ladders kept falling to the ground, making a terrible scream, and smashed a large number of soldiers.

In this way, as soon as the second wing launched an attack, it launched a fierce and brutal battle with the soldiers defending the city, the casualties between the two sides continued to surge, the battle became more and more fierce, and countless stumps and fragments were scattered on and under the city wall.

It's just that the second wing belongs to the besieging side and is in a disadvantageous position, and the losses are much greater than the castle walls, and if the fierce fighting continues, the second wing may be crippled.

Gu Wende, who was fighting outside the kilometer, saw that the second wing was so brave to kill the enemy, and the battle situation was not bad, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he praised the second wing loudly, and then ordered the second wing to retreat.

He Gu Wende didn't expect the Second Wing to capture the castle, but just wanted to use the defenders of the castle to train the soldiers of the new army, let the soldiers of the new army see blood, and improve the combat effectiveness of the new army.

Now that the Second Wing is so fierce and has performed so well, it has also produced more than 1,000 casualties, and it has achieved the purpose of training, and there is no need to waste its troops on attacking the city.

With the issuance of Gu Wende's order, the crisp metal sound sounded over the battlefield, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier, the soldiers of the second wing who were besieging the city did not retreat immediately, but under the leadership of officers at all levels, launched a wave of fierce attacks on the castle defenders, and retreated to the rear in an orderly manner, not giving the castle defenders a chance to mass-kill and injure the soldiers of the second wing.

When the Second Wing retreated, only more than 2,000 people died, which was much better than the First Wing. At the same time, the brave performance of the second wing was also appreciated by Gu Wende, and it was regarded as completing Gu Wende's order.

"The third wing is attacking, without my order, it is not allowed to retreat, and those who retreat without authorization will be killed!"

After the second wing withdrew, Gu Wende set his eyes on the third wing and ordered loudly.

The 3rd Wing, which had received the order, did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and under the orders of the Wing Commander, the Group Leader and the Squadron Leader, they moved quickly and rushed in the direction of the castle with siege engines.

With the siege experience of the first and second wings, the third wing was much calmer, first set up a trebuching position 500 meters away, and constantly threw large stones towards the castle wall, suppressing the defenders on the castle wall, and destroying the arrow tower above the castle wall by the way, so that when the army attacked the city, it was impossible to suppress the defenders remotely.

When more than half of the stones of the trebuchets and trebuchets were consumed, the soldiers of the 3rd Wing continued to advance and set up an arrow tower position 100 meters away from the Baron's castle, and an archer with a large number of arrows climbed the arrow tower, ready to suppress the defenders on the city walls at a distance and assist the army in the siege.

As soon as the position of the arrow tower was set up, the main force of the third wing let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, and one soldier held a shield, carried a ladder and spread his feet and necks, and rushed towards the bottom of the castle wall.

At the same time, five hundred meters away from the stone throwing machine position, the stone throwing machine and trebuchet are running with the maximum power, a huge stone was thrown out, smashed down on the city wall, 100 meters away from the arrow tower position, a famous archer raised the bow and arrow in his hand, a sharp arrow, poured towards the castle wall defenders, the city wall defenders to suppress the rain of arrows, so that they could not attack the main force of the siege.

The defenders, who had already had an experience, were not completely suppressed by the boulders and the rain of arrows, but carried out a powerful counterattack at the first time, and the huge crossbow arrows shot out from the bed crossbows, tilting towards the catapult array and the arrow tower position, suppressing the stone rain and arrow rain in the stone throwing machine position and the arrow tower position.

Immediately afterwards, the archers above the city wall, standing on the edge of the city wall, played with bows and arrows, and poured sharp arrows towards the main siege force of the third wing, killing and wounding the soldiers of the third company, and the spearmen on the city wall were scattered on the edge of the city wall, ready to knock down the ladders that leaned against the city wall at any time.

Under the strong counterattack of the defenders of the city walls, the 3rd Wing suffered heavy losses, but not a single person was able to climb the walls.

As the main force of the siege, Zhao Hu and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command lost more than 100 people under the dense arrow rain attack, and the soldiers of other squadrons lost even more, which made Zhao Hu very unhappy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Rush with me!"

Seeing that the soldiers of the entire wing were under the suppression of the defenders of the city wall, unable to enter the city, and suffered heavy losses, Zhao Hu's eyes were full of roars, and he shouted, snatched a cloud ladder from the soldiers on the side, put it on his shoulder, and took a step forward, and quickly rushed towards the bottom of the city wall.

Zhao Hu's strength is very fast, five or six zhang of the ladder, for it is nothing at all, in just more than ten meters, Zhao Hu carried the ladder, under the dense rain of arrows, over a distance of tens of meters, close to the city wall.

As soon as he approached the bottom of the city wall, Zhao Hu quickly leaned the five or six zhang long cloud ladder on the city wall, and along the cloud ladder, before the defenders of the city wall could react, he climbed the city wall, and the extremely sharp peerless sword in his hand swung out, killing several spearmen close to him mercilessly.

Zhao Hu's successful climb to the city wall greatly increased the morale of the soldiers under his command, and they let out excited cheers, and dozens of his direct guards ran to the city wall at the first time, along the ladder, quickly climbed the city wall, and fought side by side with Zhao Hu, resisting the spearmen above the city wall together.

Zhao Hu's direct subordinate guards, there are thirteen second-level soldiers, fifty first-class soldiers, all have fighting spirit in their bodies, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ordinary soldiers at all.
