Chapter 460: Siege

"Lord Lord, should we take advantage of the fact that the Imperial Army is not firmly established, send an elite army to attack the Imperial Army, so that the Imperial Army will not be able to rest, or even directly defeat the Imperial Army!"

Wearing golden battle armor, a blood-colored cloak, and a sharp long sword hanging from his waist, Zhong Xingsi, the highest military commander of the castle with the strength of a fifth-level warrior, asked Gao Liquan, who was observing the imperial army on the side.

"No, you don't! All you need to do is defend yourself and keep the Imperial army from entering the castle, and you've done a great job! ”

Hearing Zhong Xingsi's words, Gao Liquan shook his head lightly and said with a calm face.

Gao Liquan has already prepared a plan to retreat, and all the gold coins and valuable things in the castle are included in his space ring, and some relatively valuable materials are concentrated in the inner fort of the castle, and his family and henchmen are also ready to retreat.

Now that he is ready to retreat, how could Gao Liquan still take the initiative to send a large army to attack the imperial army! The later the Imperial army attacked the castle, the more advantageous it would be for Gao Liquan to have more time to retreat.

As for whether the Imperial Army will be able to storm the castle, Gao Liquan has no doubts at all, he doesn't believe that the Barony, who is the first to attack by the Imperial Army, will have a chance of surviving! Unless, the Imperial army is willing to lose face.

"The defense of the outer fortress will be handed over to you, whoever dares to resist your orders, you have the full strength to kill on the spot!"

After observing the imperial army five miles away, Gao Liquan said to Zhong Xingsi on the side, and took a few henchmen to come down from the castle wall and walk in the direction of the inner castle.

Looking at the back of Gao Liquan leaving, Zhong Xingsi's eyes first showed a hint of suspicion, and then a trace of essence flashed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a disdainful smile.

"If you want to use me as cannon fodder, don't even think about it!" When Gao Liquan's back disappeared on the castle wall, Zhong Xingsi secretly sneered in his heart.

With a sneer, Zhong Xingsi patrolled above the castle wall, which was more than three feet high.

The castle wall of the Baron's Castle is more than three zhang high, close to four zhang, two zhang wide, there is an arrow tower every fifty meters, and there is a storage building every ten meters, which stores a large number of war materials.

At this time, the Baron's Castle had 150,000 soldiers, of which 50,000 soldiers, patrolled the castle walls, ready to resist the attacks of the imperial army, and 100,000 soldiers were stationed in the barracks on all sides of the walls, ready to climb the walls at any time to support the soldiers of the walls in battle, and to replace the wounded and tired soldiers.

After walking along the four-zhang wide passage of the city wall, Zhong Xingsi returned to the city wall to the west of the castle, that is, the wall where the imperial army was located.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the new army of the empire, under Gu Wende's order, quickly got up, lined up quickly according to the establishment of the brigade, and waited for Gu Wende's siege order.

"The First Wing is the first to attack the Baron's Castle, and without my order, you are not allowed to retreat, otherwise you will be killed!" After seeing that more than 30,000 soldiers of the New Army had completed the formation, Gu Wende ordered loudly with a cold expression.

With Gu Wende's order, the three brigades of the first wing, more than 10,000 soldiers, under the shouts of the captain of the first wing, the three captains and the nine squadron leaders, quickly lined up, carried siege equipment, and rushed towards the direction of the city wall of the baron's castle.

Ten large stone throwers, fifty trebuchets, hundreds of five or six zhang long ladders, dozens of five or six zhang high arrow towers, a more than ten zhang long ram car siege equipment although there are not many, but for the three-zhang high city wall of the baron's castle, there is also a great threat, once these siege equipment play a role, more than 10,000 soldiers at least half of the soldiers, can smoothly climb the city wall, cause great damage to the soldiers on the castle wall, and even capture the castle wall.

Five miles of distance in the blink of an eye, ten large stone throwers, fifty trebuchets, stopped five hundred meters away from the castle wall, under the control of a team, constantly throwing stones towards the castle wall, smashed down on the castle wall, and killed and injured some unlucky city defenders.

Dozens of five or six zhang high arrow towers, under the impetus of the soldiers of the first wing, approached to the city wall 100 meters, a soldier with a bow and arrow on his back boarded the arrow tower, began to shoot arrows, one by one sharp arrows, towards the soldiers on the city wall, shot a soldier defending the city to kill and wound.

Immediately afterwards, a squadron of more than 300 soldiers, holding a high shield, pushed a collision car more than ten zhang long, and galloped straight towards the west gate of the castle, wanting to use the crash car to knock the west gate of the castle open.

At the same time, the other soldiers held hundreds of ladders five or six zhang long, let out a loud shout of killing, and rushed towards the direction of the castle wall, wanting to hit the ladder on the city wall and climb the city wall along the ladder.

Looking at the imperial soldiers charging below, Zhong Xingsi, who was standing above the city wall, had the same expression, and ordered loudly to several adjutants beside him: "Pass my order, defend the city wall with all your might, and be sure to defeat the enemy who will attack in the future!" ”

With Zhong Xingsi's order, the defenders on the castle wall also began to exert their might, launching a fierce counterattack against the imperial soldiers besieging the city below, only to see that a large bed crossbow was pushed out by a soldier defending the city, hitting a giant crossbow arrow one foot long, stirring the winch of the large bed crossbow, aiming at the stone thrower and trebuchet five hundred meters away, and the arrow tower a hundred meters away.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

With the sound of crisp air, giant crossbow arrows one by one foot long shot out from the bed crossbows, and with terrifying power, they shot towards the stone throwers, trebuchets and arrow towers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a loud bang, a large stone thrower and three trebuchets were destroyed by giant crossbow arrows and turned into a pile of waste wood, dozens of arrow towers were shot, a large hole appeared in the huge baffle, and dozens of soldiers were pierced through the bodies by giant crossbow arrows, let out a terrible scream, fell from the arrow tower, and died on the spot.

When the giant bed crossbow was wielding, a soldier guarding the city, standing on the city wall, condescending, aimed at the imperial soldiers below the city wall, and the collision car that was constantly approaching the city gate, opened his bow and shot arrows, and tilted one sharp arrow after another towards the imperial soldiers under the city wall and the collision car that was more than ten zhang long.

In the face of the dense rain of arrows from the soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers of the first wing quickly dispersed, and under the leadership of the captains, squadron leaders, squad leaders, and squad leaders, they made an earth-shattering shouting sound, holding a cloud ladder five or six zhang long, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the city wall.

In just a distance of 100 meters, hundreds of soldiers died tragically under the dense rain of arrows, and one by one the ladders were leaned against the castle wall by the soldiers of the first wing, and one soldier, holding a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other, climbed along the ladder towards the top of the city wall.

Seeing the ladders being leaned against the city wall, the soldiers defending the city let out angry shouts one after another, and a famous archer played with a bow and shot arrows at the soldiers on the ladder, and poured sharp arrows towards a soldier on the famous ladder.

In the face of dense arrow attacks, although the soldiers on the ladder used their shields to block some of the arrows, they were finally shot by the sharp arrows, let out a terrible scream, fell from the ladder, and died on the spot.

Under the threat of the archers of the city wall soldiers, none of the imperial soldiers successfully climbed the city wall, and a city defender with a spear also quickly walked to the location of the ladder and knocked down the ladder one by one.

Thousands of meters away, Gu Wende stood in front of the army, quietly watching the siege of the soldiers of the First Wing, his face was extremely flat, and he was not worried about the siege of the First Wing at all.

Zhao Hu, who belonged to the third wing, stood in the middle of the army, watching the siege of the first wing thousands of kilometers away, his head was running rapidly, thinking about his turn to attack the city, if he successfully climbed the city wall, smashed open the city gate, and attacked the castle.

As time went by, the siege battle became more and more intense, the number of soldiers of the first wing died more and more, and some soldiers with low psychological quality, in the brutal siege battle, completely collapsed, threw away their weapons, and fled to the rear, wanting to stay away from the battlefield and death.

It's just that what greeted these deserters was not a bright future, not a hot meal, but a sharp knife light, and a master of the Offering Hall raised the sharp knife in his hand and cut off the head of a deserter, making it a headless corpse.

Seeing that the worship hall made a move and killed dozens of deserters, the captain of the first wing had an extremely ugly face, roared angrily, and shouted loudly: "All those who retreat, there is no mercy!" ”

After speaking, the commander of the first wing waved the sharp sword in his hand, slashed several retreating soldiers, and encouraged the fighting spirit in his body, let out an angry roar, and rushed towards the place where the castle wall was.

With the prestige of the captain of the first wing, the captain, squadron leader, squad leader, squad leader of the first wing, they all exerted their might, encouraged the fighting spirit in their bodies, killed the retreating soldiers, and led by example, the adventurers took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the castle with a dense rain of arrows.
