Chapter 307: Rush to the Wall! (61/103)
The headache struck again, or it never went away at all, but just now Kylos forced himself to ignore the feeling, but now, the pain was so intense that he couldn't ignore it.
"Ahh Damn, rush me, kill them all! ”
On the lookout, Kylos waved his arms wildly and ordered his soldiers to charge forward, the headache tormenting him and making him want to kill.
His generals misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Kyiros was annoyed that the siege was too slow, so he hurriedly gave orders, commanded phalanxes to rush forward one after another, and threw in another 10,000 soldiers.
In fact, this uncontrolled investment of troops is not a good thing, the number of siege ladders is limited, and there are only five siege vehicles, even if they invest more troops, only so many people can climb the city wall at one time.
The others crowded to the front, and they could only stand aside and watch the play.
Siege warfare is originally a process of attrition, and it is rare to break the city in a short period of time, and only when the enemy's strength gradually decreases and breaches begin to appear, can their soldiers be able to continuously invest in the city walls.
After several generals gave the order, they also followed forward for a distance, and no one dared to continue to stand by Kylos's side, who knows what kind of wind Kylos smoked, if he drew his sword and cut himself, it would be a big loss.
After yelling and fussing in place, Kylos felt his headache go a little better, and looking at the battlefield ahead, he didn't have much to say.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and now we just have to wait for the walls of Vienna to be slowly conquered.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the walls of Vienna were far tougher than he imagined.
General Ike stood tall on the castle tower, his voice a little hoarse, but his brows were still calm and calm.
"Pikemen, bring back all the pikemen on the western wall, and give priority to the enemies on the siege engines!"
"Eleon, spread out your soldiers, you guys are too crowded, go and divide some people to help Prenos!"
"Spearman shoot freely, shoot all the spears in his hand, and kill those Prussian mongrels!"
General Ike's shouting never ceased, and the heralds spread around him on both sides of the wall, delivering his orders to every corner of the battlefield.
He is like a plumber, dealing with a water pipe full of holes, where something goes wrong, he quickly rushes over and plugs the water pipe with the tools in his hand, desperately trying to maintain the normal operation of the water pipe.
When he couldn't block it, the water pipe broke completely, and the water rushed out, and then Vienna was about to be finished.
But for a short time, he can hold on for a while.
The clanging and clashing sounds of swords mingled, and the Prussian sword and shield infantry opened their mouths and roared angrily, as they propped up their shields and tried to climb over the walls.
One of the pikemen clenched the spear in his hand, and while the infantryman was struggling to support himself, he stabbed the spear in his hand at the exposed space.
Puff......
"Ahh With a scream, another unlucky man fell into the river with a thud, and in the short time before falling into the river, the soldier's life flashed before his eyes, the village of his childhood, the outing with his father, the marriage of a beautiful bride, and the enlistment in the army......
Everything is so vivid and vivid, yet far away and untouchable.
Before entering the water, one last thought flashed through the soldier's mind: "Damn, now, my mother-in-law is going to cheapen others." ”
Wow...... Darkness strikes.
"Ahh The spearman spat thick phlegm on the ground and muttered, "Sixth...... Miscellaneous people, if there is a kind, come and die. ”
As he spoke, he clenched the spear in his hand and scanned the ladders on the left and right, looking for the next fighter.
Beneath the disc-open rain hat was a mess of hair, a half-inch long rough beard, and piercing eagle-like eyes.
The double eagle emblem of the Habsburgs comes to life on his back, a veteran of the family, whose presence can be said to be crucial in such a battlefield.
However, the Prussian soldiers were not vegetarians, and occasionally, one or two fierce soldiers would rush up the walls in the face of the attack, fighting the defenders on the walls, producing patches of blood and several corpses, and creating opportunities for their comrades behind them to climb the walls.
Every time this happens, there will be a small crisis in the entire defensive line, and the entire defense line may be breached, triggering a worse chain reaction.
For this reason, General Ike had to roar and draw soldiers from other places to rush to support, and under the multiple attacks of spears and spears, the danger was nipped in the bud.
In this battle, those old-fashioned throwing spears can be said to have played a vital role, with an average of more than three throwing spears on each person, a total of more than 50,000 throwing spears, which caused more than 10,000 enemy casualties, which can be said to be a rather terrifying number.
It's just that as the battle progresses, until now, the spears in the hands of the soldiers have finally been gradually consumed.
Without the suppression of the spears, the city wall defense line immediately began to appear in crisis, the whole line of 2,500 ladders, five siege vehicles, the enemy army can put more than 2,600 soldiers into the battlefield on average each time, and the real number is actually more amazing.
In order to deal with the attack of these two thousand and six hundred soldiers, at least three times the number of people needed to block there, so as to ensure that when the soldiers were killed, someone could replenish them in time.
Thunder, rain, and shouts were intertwined, and the enemy soldiers continued to rush up, and the number of defenders gradually decreased, and finally, in some places, the walls could not be held, and the Prussian soldiers stepped on the walls, propping up their shields to resist the attack, and the soldiers in the rear continued to climb up to the top of the city.
Standing on the same city wall, the defenders lost all their terrain advantages and could only fight with their lives.
The rain shows no signs of stopping, and the clouds seem to be going to stand still in this moment until the end of the world.
In the rain, people with roughly the same appearance, the same color of blood, and the same language fought each other, desperately trying to stab each other in the heart, only because they wore different armor embroidered with different insignia.
The battle became more and more fierce, and the soldiers became more and more desperate, and by this time, they seemed to have no scruples.
