Chapter 748: A Difficult Battle

Knowing the strength of the enemy, he felt that his dignity had been offended, and he immediately prepared to lead an army of 200,000 to besiege Kajavin.

As for the remaining 200,000 troops, they began to plunder the area around the kingdom of Astra to raise the food needed in the future.

At this time, under the city of Kadjavan, the Norvids had already set up camp, and their tents were one after another, and they looked quite large.

One by one, the sentinels stood guard around the camp, and they were afraid that the defenders in the city walls would take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack on them.

The walls were also brightly lit at this time, and the vassals and King Leonac's staff had been planning battle plans against the enemy outside the city for the past few days.

They hoped to be able to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, leaving the province with trouble.

King Leonac didn't know how far his opponent's true strength had reached, and he didn't know that his distant land had become a scorched earth.

At this time, Emperor Polyoye led his direct army and some tribal warriors loyal to him, and hurried to Kajavin.

The speed of their march was not fast, it could even be said to be slow, not only did the large number of people make it difficult for them to increase their marching speed, but they were also followed by countless deer carts transporting grain.

Even the horse-drawn carriages could not keep up with the marching speed of the army, let alone the sluggish deer carts, which were only slightly superior to horses in endurance and docility, were inferior to horses in transport, and their marches were slowed down.

The 200,000-strong army was divided into five marching routes, each of which had formed a long line and walked slowly towards Kajjvin.

Spring in the kingdom of Astra has not yet fully arrived, and the melting of the ice and snow is not complete at all, even if you exhale, you can still bring out a wisp of white smoke in the air.

Emperor Porioye, riding on the back of a tall, richly decorated horned deer, was a little distraught, and they had been marching for four days now, but had not yet reached the city of Kajavin.

They marched at a speed of just about twenty kilometers a day, and the poor discipline of the Norweed soldiers made it very difficult for them to march.

They would always fight or curse at their comrades while marching, which greatly slowed down their march and was completely different from the disciplined army of the Kingdom of Lorik.

If it is the army of the Kingdom of Lorik, they can march at least forty kilometers in a day, and they will not have any movements that are not related to the march when they are marching, they will not even say a word, they will only focus on the march.

"Get the fighters up to speed!"

Emperor Porioye ordered with a frown.

Finally, two days later, they reached the bottom of the city of Kajavin.

When they appeared in front of the kings and lords of the kingdom of Astra, they were greatly shocked.

At this time, they were all ready to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy, but before they could leave the city, they discovered the existence of these people from the watchtower.

When the sentinels spotted this large number of enemies, they ran down the watchtower in great panic to report to the king and lords.

After confirming it again, they believed what the sentry said that such a number of enemies had indeed appeared outside the city walls.

King Leonac frowned, and his mood was very solemn.

"Who are these people? The kingdom of Norweed has fallen, how can there still be so many Norweed warriors? ”

He felt a strong smell of conspiracy, and the army that arrived this time was definitely several times larger than the previous enemy, and it was roughly estimated that it was definitely no less than 150,000 people.

150,000 people, plus the previous enemies, has exceeded 200,000, such a number that even the kingdom of Astra, which is the second most powerful country, cannot come up with.

At the same time, they also believed that even the Rhodelan Empire, the largest power on the mainland, would not be able to take out so many troops.

King Leonac slammed the battlements and said, "Send people out of the city at once, go to the Holy City to ask the Pope for help, and say that the Norwids have revived, and that the 200,000 Norweed army is besieging the city of Carjavin!" ”

Emperor Porioye stood under the city wall on a horned deer and looked up.

At this time, King Leonac was also looking downward, and the eyes of the two collided at this moment.

Both sides sealed their eyes at the same time, both examining this opponent in front of them, King Leonac was different from Emperor Polyoye, he completely relied on his own ability to ascend to the throne, and also relied on his own ability to make the kingdom of Astra flourish on the original basis.

However, Emperor Porioje was the only son of his father, and he became the Emperor of the Norweed Empire by virtue of his inheritance.

Although he had received a good education since he was a child, he did not have the methods of King Leonac, so the Norwede Barbarian Empire was a mess by him.

After looking at each other, they looked away, and Emperor Porioye ordered his soldiers to set up ladders and began to climb to the top of the wall.

This time, the number of troops was huge, and the number of ladders was also extremely dense, and one by one the soldiers were beaten under the city wall by wooden blocks and long logs, and suffered heavy losses.

But they still climbed to the top of the city walls, and Emperor Polioye made several sieges over the course of several days.

More than 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded under the city of Kajavin, but his purpose was achieved, and the castle was devoid of stones and long logs.

It was no longer easy to knock the Norvid warriors off the ladder, and arrows alone could not stop them from climbing upward.

Sure enough, when they climbed the walls again three days later, the defenders of the castle could no longer throw stones and logs.

In this way, the defenders in the walls could only use arrows to kill and wound the enemies who climbed the walls.

Finally, the Norweed warriors finally made it to the top of the city wall.

"The first person to climb the walls was Paulf!" A tall and mighty man shouted loudly with a one-handed axe in his hand.

When he arrived at the defenders, he slashed and slashed, but he only killed one enemy, and was then killed by the wolf-like Astra infantry on the city walls.

They were not untrained serfs and ordinary soldiers, but elite soldiers who had undergone rigorous training and were equipped with strong energy.

The arrogance of a man on the city wall made it unbearable for them, and he was quickly dealt with.

However, although they solved this person, the follow-up enemies climbed the city wall in an endless stream, wearing simple chain mail or fine chain mail, and in their hands they also had one-handed axes and shields or broad-edged swords and shields.

The Norweeds, who are known for their strong appearances, are particularly fond of this heavy weapon, and if it weren't for the fact that their armor has not yet reached the point where they need a war hammer to break through the defenses, it is believed that the war hammer is also one of their preferences.

In this way, they gradually climbed the city wall and began to fight fiercely with the soldiers of the Astra Kingdom on the city wall.
