After Odoase's order was issued, all the Germanic soldiers and strong men on the city wall began to throw away the door panels and shields, and the slingers quickly came from behind with stones to throw them at the Huns under the city, and this time it was the turn of the Huns to be miserable, and the Huns who were climbing the ladder were smashed down the ladder and fell to the ground one by one, seeing that they could not survive.

The slingers threw the stones and then stepped back to carry the stones, while the archers quickly took over and shot arrows at the city, and the Huns who were hit by the arrows screamed and fell to the ground, and some fell to the soldiers below.

At this time, the siege towers of the siege force approached, and the Xiongnu archers on the siege of the city, under the command of the ten-commander, began to shoot arrows at the defenders on the city wall to cover the light infantry climbing the ladder.

The archers on the siege towers were very methodical, squatting down to get arrows behind the fence after shooting an arrow, and then getting up to shoot arrows at the city walls, this tactical action protected them well, and also caused casualties to the Germanic defenders on the city walls.

The archers of the defenders were shot one by one, which made Odoasse and other leaders anxious, and Odoaser immediately shouted: "Quickly organize the archers to suppress the enemy archers in the siege tower, we must suppress them, otherwise they will inflict heavy casualties on us!" ”

Under the order of Odoase, the leaders quickly organized some archers to suppress the Hun archers on the siege tower at seventy or eighty meters on the opposite side, and the two sides were separated by a huge space of seventy or eighty meters to shoot at each other, and some of the archers on both sides fell after being hit by arrows from time to time, but soon the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were revealed, and the Hun archers were very disciplined in archery after long-term systematic training. The tactics of shooting and dodging are skillful, and the Germanic soldiers, on the other hand, are also good archers. Although the quasi-head is not worse than the Hun archers, but they have not undergone systematic tactical training, the probability of hitting the arrow is much greater than that of the Hun archers, and the casualties are naturally more than the Hun archers.

Odoaser was so anxious from the tower that he kept shouting: "Defend with a shield, defend with a shield, take care of it!" ”

Odoaser is now in his twenties. He was still very young, and due to his lack of experience, he did not have the combat experience of the later ones at all. With a strong command and command combat ability, he is still very young now, and he seems to be a little flustered in this first battle to defend the city, plus the previous time Qin Dong caused him a strong pressure. Psychologically, there are some shadows. Before the battle began, Qin Dong was a little timid when he saw it, so he couldn't command the army well.

Under the organization of several leaders, some strong men were assigned to hold shields for the archers, and as long as there were arrows shooting, they would hold shields to block the arrows for the archers, so that the advantage of the Hun archers on the opposite siege tower was gone, and the casualties began to increase.

The first wave of siege infantry fought for about half an hour. Having already lost a small number of men, Ruth, who was in charge of commanding the siege, was a little overwhelmed. He sent people back to ask Qin Dong to withdraw the first wave of infantry, replace it with a second wave of men and horses, and let the first team rest.

After hearing the report, Qin Dong thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, order the second attack echelon to quickly set off and arrive under the city, tell Sùlus, only when the second wave of infantry arrives under the city, the first wave of infantry can retreat!" ”

"Yes, General!"

The second wave of infantry is also two hundred people, this time by Faisal led the siege of the city, the ladder and other siege weapons are naturally left by the first wave of Ruth's infantry, Faisal arrived with two hundred people and immediately took over the siege ladder, this thing must be supported by someone below, otherwise the defenders on the city wall will use tools to push down the ladder, if there are soldiers climbing on the ladder, it must be the result of being crippled, think about it, fall down from the ladder a few feet high, if you don't die, you will be crippled, it's okay to die, I'm afraid of becoming a cripple, It's better to die and be happy.

After Faisal led the team to arrive, Ruth withdrew with more than 100 of his soldiers, and quickly came to meet Qin Dong after arranging the soldiers.

"General, his subordinates are incompetent, they failed to attack the city wall, and they also killed fifty-five people, seriously injured eighteen people, and lightly injured thirty-two people, please punish the general!" Ruth, the black man, bowed his head in shame.

The siege process just now, Qin Dong watched the whole process, Ruth was actually very brave, he took a few people from the ladder to the city wall, but the strength was weak, the defenders on the city wall were crowded, and there were many enemy troops, after he and a few of his soldiers slashed and killed, several of his soldiers were also killed, and he was the only one left, and finally he was driven down the city wall and slid down the ladder, which can be regarded as picking up a life.

Qin Dong saw the blood stained on Ruth's body, raised his hand to help him up, and said: "Get up, after all, this is the first siege battle, it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings, it's not that you are not brave enough, and the enemy is not easy to provoke, this is not to blame you, you are tired after fighting for so long, go down and rest!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Ruth saluted and stepped aside.

The siege battle continued, Faisal with two hundred people continued to attack the city wall, the city wall shape shì for the defenders in a precarious situation, to the critical juncture, Odoaser had to personally go out to participate in the battle, the victory in the defenders has a natural geographical advantage, and in the number of superiority, Faisal attacked several times in a row failed to attack the city wall, the battle continued until noon, Faisal finally personally led the men and horses to rush to the city wall, occupied a small section of the city wall, the follow-up soldiers continued to climb the ladder on the city wall, The two sides fought to the death on the city walls.

After holding on for more than ten minutes, Faisal was finally defeated by Odoase, and was cut in the ribs by Odoase's sword, and was almost killed, but fortunately, there were soldiers who desperately rescued and escaped from death, Faisal was seriously injured, and the battle for the city wall obviously could not go on, and the other soldiers could only protect Faisal and desperately hold a small section of the city wall and wait for reinforcements, without the order to retreat, they could not retreat without authorization, otherwise what was waiting for them was military punishment.

The situation on the city wall was clearly seen by Qin Dong, it was now noon, and the width on the city wall was limited, it could only accommodate so many people, and no matter how many people were sent up, they couldn't squeeze in, and they still couldn't take the city wall, after thinking about it, Qin Dong ordered the siege troops to retreat, and wait until lunch.

After the horn of retreat sounded, the seriously wounded Faisal and his soldiers fought back for a while before slipping down the ladder down the city wall, and after seeing the enemy retreat, Odoaser and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and the Germanic defenders on the city wall fell down one by one like mollusks with bones drawn, gasping for breath, and not caring about the wounds and blood stains on their bodies.

Lunch was eaten under the city, except for Qin Dong, who had a big tent, the other soldiers and officers could only eat lunch in the open air, during which Qin Dong gathered the main officers into the big tent, and listened to Wang Liu's report on the casualties in the morning while eating, and also discussed the siege of the city in the afternoon.

After listening to Wang Liu's report, Qin Dong's face was a little ugly, a total of more than 130 people were killed in the two siege battles in the morning, more than 40 people were seriously injured, more than 70 people were lightly injured, and more than 250 people were reduced in battle, you must know that he only brought 1,000 light infantry and 300 heavy infantry this time, and the heavy infantry could not participate in the siege, only the light infantry attacked the city, and more than a quarter of the battle losses were lost in just one morning, who could stand it?

Although such casualties are almost negligible in the ancient Eastern battlefield, but this is not the East, but the West, he is not the monarch of a country, just a thousand-commander, with a total of more than 5,000 horses under his hands, just a thousand-commander like him is still several times overstaffed to have a force, and he lost 250 people in battle in just one morning, it is false to say that he is not distressed, every soldier here has been trained hard for more than half a year, and his combat quality is very high. It's heartbreaking to lose so many people in one morning.

Distressed to distressed, Qin Dong knew that this was the first siege battle after the army completed its training into an army, it was very good to have this kind of appearance, during the siege process, they climbed the city wall twice, and they also occupied a small section, and they could play such a result, which shows that the combat effectiveness of this army is very strong, and the only thing lacking is combat experience, this is the first time after all, many soldiers vomited on the spot because they saw the tragic scene of the battle, and there were not a few people who were weak in their hands and feet, He believed that the Germanic barbarians on the walls would certainly not be much better.

In fact, Odoaser at this time, his heart is also dripping blood, after statistics, half of the four hundred regular army infantry under his command were directly killed, and the other two hundred people were more or less wounded, of which more than 80 people were seriously injured, and the other 120 people were slightly injured, almost everyone was injured, and the recruited strong men died more than 200 people, and more were injured, from the analysis of casualty figures, in just one morning, Odoyase's army in Lazlog has been completely disabled, if Qin Dong outside the city continues to strengthen the offensive in the afternoon, He couldn't hold on.

Odoaser never thought that the siege battle would be so tragic, he had no heart to eat lunch, if Qin Dong continued to attack in the afternoon, Lazlog would definitely be lost, so many wounded, without a large number of horses, he would not be able to escape far before he would be caught up by the Huns, but if he didn't go, he couldn't go, if he didn't go, he would be equal to waiting for death here, the Huns' combat effectiveness was too strong, he had always thought that the Huns were just cavalry, but he didn't expect that this infantry siege would be so aggressive.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the weather suddenly changed, the sun was still in the sky at noon, and after a while of lunch, the sky was overcast, and the clouds were dense and the north wind was howling, which was a sign of heavy rain. (To be continued......)
