Chapter 048: The Western Expedition Breaks the Halberd (1) Siege

Gurus collected a lot of information related to George, and found a problem, that is, George is very good at ambush warfare, and the method of play is to concentrate elite soldiers to break the opponent's troops one by one, and George's army has a fierce general, who will often suddenly rush into the enemy's formation at a critical moment, attack and kill the local leader, and then lead the troops to break the enemy's troops.

Gurus gave his troops a strict order not to pursue the opponent in any provocation, and slowed down the attack of the troops, and fought steadily.

When George led the archers to inspect the Gurus troops, George found himself in the presence of an opponent who had set up a camp every time he reached a place, and then set up a strong bow inside and a strong defense on the outside.

George sent his archers to make a number of attempts, but found it difficult to approach the other party's camp, and the other party was like a moving turtle shell, constantly moving towards the fortress of Ammasvalon.

George had no choice but to mobilize his troops to defend the fortress.

In the year 2108 of the York calendar, the fortress of Ammswaron was surrounded by the Grand Legions of the Kingdom of Da Yu. A total of 120,000 troops, including 70,000 main battle troops and 50,000 reserve troops, surrounded the fortress.

Gulus lined up and began to siege the city, Gurus believed that he could use the advantage of numbers to kill the opponent, and his troops carried siege weapons giant crossbows, as well as many crossbowmen, even if the opponent had a fierce general, they would be killed by the dense giant crossbows.

On the back of the city gate, Gurus set this place as a breakthrough, because the northern city wall is slightly damaged, and the continuous bombardment of the damaged position of the city wall with a giant crossbow may make the city wall collapse!

George also strengthened the northern wall with more longbowmen.

The siege force of 5,000 people in an echelon, carrying the ladder to the city wall pressed, in front of the elite troops carrying the giant shield, George's longbowmen are difficult to shoot through the giant shield, can only find the enemy behind the control shooter of the giant shield, but the siege troops will fire giant crossbows at intervals, when firing giant crossbows, longbowmen need to dodge, otherwise they will be shot through by giant crossbows!

After losing a few hundred men, the besieging forces began to climb the city on ladders, and the soldiers who ascended the city were killed by the mages on the towers with fire charges, and the crossbows could not reach the top of the towers.

Gurus sent longbowmen to suppress the mages in the tower of the northern wall, but the effect was not great, and the mages in the tower cast a defensive spell, and ordinary feathered arrows could not damage the mage.

After leaving behind the corpses of 8,000 people, Gurus ordered a retreat! These 8,000 people are basically stragglers gathered everywhere, with average combat effectiveness, and most of them have criminal records, either Cao thieves or deserters, these people Gurus would like to be killed, and died in the siege battle, Gurus is not distressed, and can also consume the resources of the city.

George was very jealous of the giant crossbow, these heavy siege weapons, caused casualties to his longbowmen. Even if a mage gets hit by a crossbow, it's doomed!unless it's a high-level protective magic. However, there are very few people who are able to unleash high-level defensive magic.

At night, George led 300 spearmen to sneak near the Gurus camp, preparing to destroy the crossbow at night.

George led his men forward to secretly kill the sentry, moved away from the horses, and 300 men rushed into the enemy camp, but the enemy camp was empty! George's IQ was insulted in an instant, and he was actually ambushed! Just as he was about to flee, the enemy began to surround him from all sides, and a dense number of feathered arrows shot at him!

George used his defensive technique to call the feather arrows and began to command the retreat, but the feather arrows were too dense, and all the 300 flying spear knights fell in the blink of an eye, and George could only release the wind salute and quickly escape.

Gurus inspected the battle scene, checked the opponent's equipment, exquisite armor, and forged exquisite weapons, which was a bit like armor and weapons that could only be made by the northerners! Could it be that these resources were secretly provided by the third prince? And the fall of Amesvalon was secretly done by the third prince? Gurus felt that it was becoming more and more difficult!

George would probably die of laughter if he knew the other party's thoughts, these forging processes were no longer sophisticated things, and a large number of craftsmen he had trained could already forge a large number of exquisite standard weapons!

After George returned to the fortress, he didn't dare to launch a night attack for the time being, the other party was obviously an experienced battlefield veteran, and he couldn't get any advantage for the time being, so it seemed that he needed to think of a new way!

Gurus still continued to attack the city, but the siege was much smaller, George was very strange, the other party must be researching a new weapon!

Sure enough, 2 weeks later, Gollum brought in a trebuchet from the rear! Due to process problems, the range and power of the trebuchet in Da Yu are limited, but as long as they can be erected relatively close to the city wall, they are still somewhat aggressive!

This time, Gurus sent some elite troops and longbowmen to protect the advance of the trebuchet troops, and George saw the other party's elite troops at the head of the city to protect the advance of a strange machine, and knew that this was probably the opponent's killer weapon.

George said to Tina, "Take a team of spear knights and destroy the other party's machinery!

Tina led 300 spear knights out of the city and braved the opponent's arrows to advance quickly, and the knights kept falling off their horses, and when they rushed to the front of the opponent's formation, there were only 100 people left, Tina roared, and fired the fire bomb first! Killed a large number of the opponent's elite shieldmen, and then led the troops to rush into the enemy formation! When he was about to approach the catapult troops, he saw that the opponent actually abandoned the catapult, and then feathered arrows continued to shoot from multiple dead corners. 100 people were shot dead in the blink of an eye, and Tina, after blasting the trebuchet with a frenzied fire bomb, retreated to the fortress in the rain of arrows!

Gurus didn't feel much distressed, the machine was destroyed and then built, and George's troops were obviously not much, and if they consumed a little, they would have less. I still have 50,000 reservists!

On the one hand, George was worried about Tina's safety, and on the other hand, he was very angry, the number of his troops was a serious disadvantage!

George closed his eyes and began to think, and after a long time George said: "Tina, release carrier pigeons to Simpson, send out scimitar knights, but you don't need to support the fortress, avoid the opponent's main force, and harass and rob the enemy's supply line! ”

Although the attackers and defenders fought to the death every day, every night was silent, only a little moonlight sprinkled on the corpses under the city, reflecting the hideous and terrifying ugly faces of the dead that began to rot, and in the stench of the sky, a dozen white doves headed west!
