Nearly 1,000 soldiers gathered in front of the pier, looking at the horizontal trenches in front of them, not a single enemy could be seen, and they were a little confused.

How should this be played?

They had never encountered such a special positional battle before.

Old John rode back to a knoll behind him, surrounded by a group of guards.

Little John was with him.

"These rats are hiding in the trenches, our archers can't attack, kid, do you have any good ideas?"

Little John was dressed in a heavy jumpsuit, and the visor on his helmet was opened, revealing his relatively handsome face.

"Father, I personally recommend pressing directly with a large army, they are all hiding in the trenches, and after we pass, condescendingly, we can easily kill them with spears and bows."

Little John thought about it and said so. He knew very well that this was his father testing himself and testing his ability to cope on the battlefield.

Old John nodded: "It's a normal idea, but it's too normal, maybe it won't work." ”

Little John was a little confused.

Old John glanced at the officer beside him, who immediately went to the army and ordered a small group of shieldmen, pikemen and archers, and rushed straight up.

As a result, halfway through, the first archers suddenly appeared in the first trench, and then the arrows rained down.

Because there were large shield soldiers in front, most of the arrows were blocked, and only a few of them hit people.

And even if the arrow is hit, it doesn't seem to have any power, many people have arrows stuck in their bodies and go straight forward, and some people just pull the arrow down and continue to move forward.

When they arrived at the trenches, the soldiers were surprised to find that the archers in the trenches had suddenly disappeared, and when they looked closely, they found that the two trenches were separated by a small passage a few meters each, which connected each other. Those archers

And then these soldiers don't know what to do?

The trench was more than two meters wide, and they could have jumped over it if they were usually lightly armoured, but now they were wearing light armor and holding weapons, but it was so easy to jump.

Into the trenches to pursue the enemy?

This is even more of a stupid idea.

It was when these soldiers were stunned that a bunch of heads suddenly appeared in the second trench, and these people were still raising their hands and whirring something.

If you look closer, you can see that the enemy is picking up a large rock.

Stones of various sizes were tied to the ends of the sturdy twine, and the men pulled faster and faster, until at last they let go, and about a hundred stones dragged the twine and smashed heavily at the soldiers.

The soldiers were so frightened that they stood up with their shields in front of them, and the whole person shrank behind the shields.

This is the right way to deal with it, but the problem is that the other side throws too many stones, and they are too big.

In addition, when picking, there is a centrifugal force bonus, and the rock smashes over, which is no less than the heavy blow of a low-level warrior professional holding a hammer.

The sound of knock knock sounded, and it didn't take long for the soldiers holding the shield to start numb in their hands, and then the whole person retreated rapidly, bumping into the soldiers in front of the incident, and the formation was suddenly chaotic.

And then there were more stones that came over like a pick.

It didn't take long for their hands to begin to crack, and they couldn't hold their shields.

Then the stones fell from the sky, and in less than a minute, there were not many of the more than 100 soldiers who could stand.

The few remaining soldiers who could still run fled backwards in panic, and were soon caught by the Overseers and dragged in front of Old John.

Listening to the faint cheers from the trenches opposite, Old John snorted coldly.

Then he looked at the deserter who was kneeling on the ground, jumped off his horse, walked up to the cowering deserter, and reached out and drew an arrow from his body.

The deserter snorted and did not dare to speak.

The arrows are pure wooden arrows, and the arrows are only sharpened.

Such arrows, not to mention iron armor, are difficult to pierce even soft leather armor, and being injured by such arrows shows that this soldier is not very lucky.

"With this kind of weapon, dare to fight us, the drum power of the Children of Gold is not ordinary." Old John snorted coldly: "But this kind of stone-throwing attack is a bit new. ”

Little John said beside him, "Father, it seems that my plan is not working, so what should we do?" ”

John Sr. was both his father and the local lord, and it was up to him to decide who would be the heir. So the proud little John felt that it was not a bad thing to admit in front of his father and admit that he was inadequate.

"We can definitely fight a strong attack, but the terrain of these trenches is quite complicated, and we will lose a lot." Old John said coldly: "The son of gold is a little clever, but it's a pity that I have been fighting for decades, and I have never seen any kind of scheme. This trench array is just a multi-walled array in disguise, with the difference between one building to the sky and the other digging to the ground. The best way to deal with this situation is to attack with fire. Richard, go back and bring out the baggage troops, let them carry a lot of hay, fuel, and at the same time bring me the trebuchet. ”

"I don't believe it, these trenches can still be fireproof."

An officer immediately took the squad and turned back to the city.

Old John got back on his horse, and he looked at his son: "War is like this, test each other, look for opportunities, dismantle each other, and don't divide the winners and losers so quickly, if you feel impatient, you can go to the back and rest for a while." ”

Little John, of course, was not so stupid: "Father, I'm not tired, this is a good opportunity to accumulate experience in the war, I don't want to miss it." ”

Old John nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, little John breathed a sigh of relief, although he is now the only heir on the surface, but who knows if his father is somewhere else and has raised an illegitimate child.

If he became the lord of the city, he would definitely have two or three sons on the surface, but he would also have two or three more in private, so he was afraid that if the descendants on the bright side were killed by the enemy, the descendants in the secret would be able to survive, and maybe there would be a possibility of turning the tables.

The crowd had been waiting here for a long time, and there seemed to be no movement in the trenches on the opposite side.

It's just that somehow, Old John began to feel that something was wrong.

A war-trained instinct told him that the atmosphere was not right.

At this time, a soldier ran over and said breathlessly: "City Lord, the warship in charge of tracking the magician Roland and the priest Jett hit the ice floe, and the two ships were completely destroyed, and Roland and Jett are nowhere to be found. ”

Old John's expression immediately changed, and it became a little ugly and frightening.

Little John felt a little strange: "How big is the ice floe that can knock out all the warships?" It's the end of summer, how is that possible! ”

"Damn it!" Old John suddenly scolded angrily: "We have been fooled, quickly lead the troops back to the city." ”

Just as he was saying this, a burst of white light suddenly burst out behind him, almost suppressing the sun's rays.

Then a deafening explosion came from the direction of the city walls.

The sound was like thunder.

Almost all of the horses were so frightened and restless that they could barely control it.

And the soldiers, looking in the direction of the city gate, were all pale.

From afar, you can see that the city gate is gone!

Morale immediately dropped to the extreme.
