Defend a city
In the early morning, the Millennium City barrier was broken. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky was gloomy, the clouds were rolling like blades, the south wind was blowing north, and the war drums were beating wildly.
Prince Shiki raised his right hand and fell suddenly, and a high-spirited cry erupted from his chest: "Capture the shield of Gilda-"
"Take the Shield of Gilda—" hundreds of thousands of coalition troops shouted together.
"Rush-" Prince Shiki roared.
"Rush-" the army replied.
Immediately, the coalition forces in the south pressed towards the shield of Gilda like a tidal wave.
In this way, the first battle for the defense of Gilda in the history of the North officially began.
The southern realm did not use the battering ram used to break through the city of sighs, the shield of Gilda was the first fortress in the north, and the two gates were made of a single piece of blue sky stone, and the battering ram was useless.
Therefore, instead of trying to break the city, the southern border adopted a relatively more tragic method - climbing the city.
The 5,000 infantry of the first phalanx charged the Gilda Shield with several ladders, in a neat formation and in no disorder.
On the castle tower, a row of archers was standing, and Ophoros raised his hand: "Pull-"
Trained archers draw their bows in the shape of a full moon.
Ophoros's hand fell suddenly: "Put-"
Thousands of feathered arrows shot into the sky in unison, and when they reached the highest point, they all fell downward, faster and faster, like a rain, a rain of death.
The bannermen of the southern border waved the big flag and gave instructions, and the soldiers of the first phalanx raised the large shields in their hands above their heads, and in the blink of an eye, a huge steel phalanx appeared.
The large shield was shining silver, like a bright snowfield, and the rain of arrows poured down on it, because the archers on the shield of Gilda were not only one in a hundred, but they were condescending, and the arrows they shot were even more powerful, many arrows even penetrated the shields wrapped in iron and solid wood, inserting into the bodies of the southern soldiers, and many arrows were shot through the gaps in the shield array, shooting at the southern soldiers.
These shield-wielding infantry were obviously the natural enemies of the archers, and this wave of arrows did not achieve the desired effect of Ophoros, only shooting hundreds of people, Ophoros frowned and said: "The archers scattered to the two wings of the tower and attacked the army without shields. ”
The archers scattered like a tidal wave to the sides of the tower, and a row of spear-armed soldiers took their place.
Ophoros shouted, "Cast! ”
The spear-wielding soldiers raised their spears over their shoulders, the tip of which was slightly lower than the tail of the spear, and they ran a few quick steps, while their right shoulder retreated and drew their guns back, and when they took the last step, their legs kicked the ground rapidly, and with an explosive flick of their forearms, the sharp spears came out of their hands, and hundreds of spears glided through the air towards the army in the south.
At the same time, this row of spear-throwing soldiers stepped back and took new spears from the barrel of the spear, and a row of soldiers with spears in their hands took their place and continued to throw spears.
These spears flying in the air fell towards the shield array in the south.
"Click, click......"
These spears easily pierced through the shields of the southern soldiers, and even more easily through their bodies, and some spears even strung several southern soldiers together, and the shield array of the southern border was in chaos for a while.
But the army in the south did not fear the spears pouring down from the sky, did not make any retreat, and continued to bury their heads in the advance, and the second phalanx, the third phalanx, the fourth phalanx, the fifth phalanx, the sixth phalanx, the seventh phalanx, and the eighth phalanx, all followed, apparently wanting to launch a strong attack together and forcibly seize the city.
Ophoros exclaimed, "All the catapults listen, two hundred paces away, in the right direction, give me-release!" ”
The sound of the "crackling and crackling" machine spring was continuous, and hundreds of boulders flew through the sky like a flock of birds, falling from the sky with a terrible sound of wind, and fell into the middle of the shield phalanx like thunder.
Like stones falling on eggs, countless soldiers were smashed into pulp by the stones, their internal organs and muscles were crushed into mud, and their bones were shattered into countless pieces, piercing out of their skins.
Soon, the phalanx of the first shield was torn apart under the heavy blows, and the defeated soldiers were scattered on the battlefield at a loss.
But there were so many people in the south that even if arrows rained down, spears and boulders flew wildly, it would be difficult to stop all the rest of the phalanx.
The soldiers of the southern border shouted loudly and marched quickly, their eyes flashing with blazing flames, and they all knew that this battle was crucial, so to speak, a decisive game.
As long as the southern border captures the Gilda Shield, relying on the protection of the Gilda Shield, you can be fearless of the northern reinforcements who rush in, and when the reinforcements from the south arrive on the battlefield, the southern coalition with sufficient troops can use the Gilda Shield as a stronghold and completely control the entire northern border step by step!
What are the bloody sacrifices for so many days? Isn't it just to capture the shield of Gilda? Now is the time to achieve this goal, so all the soldiers of the southern border are rushing forward with all their strength, for their country, for their fallen comrades, for their own faith!
Passing through the death zone of arrows, spears, and slings, and wading through a wide and deep moat on foot, the mutilated second phalanx infantry reached the bottom of the city, dozens of ladders climbed diagonally against the high walls, the metal grappling hooks at the top of the ladders clasped the walls, and the southern soldiers climbed up the ladders.
The people in the city reacted very quickly, a general from the north broke out with a fighting spirit, brandished a big axe and cut the grappling hook a few times, and a soldier used an extremely long fork to push down the ladder, and a dozen soldiers on the ladder fell down with the ladder, falling into a blur of flesh and blood.
But there were more and more ladders on the city wall, and there was no time to knock them down one by one, hot oil and stones were poured on the city, and soldiers from the south fell miserably from the ladders, but the rest of the people still followed one after another, climbing up as if they were not afraid of death, and the pressure on the city tower suddenly increased.
At this time, an old man wearing a purple magic robe appeared on the city tower with hundreds of magicians, and that old man was the star alchemist, the tarot's twenty-two star seats, Pascal.
The chanting resounded across the battlefield, the light of the alchemy array lit up the sky, the wind blade and the water knife sliced a ladder and the soldiers on it into pieces, the beast of thunder and lightning devoured a ladder, the serpent of flame wrapped around a ladder and burned everything, and the pillar of earth smashed a ladder that was propped up on the ground......
The people behind Pascal are all elite magicians in the north, and most of them are the powerhouses of the four groups of Scepter, Holy Grail, Sword, and Star Coins.
