This unexpected situation did not make Du Yuanzhi confused.

I saw that he directly took over the command of the head of the Gaoling City Wall, and then shouted loudly......

"Don't worry about anything else, all the three-bow bed crossbows will concentrate fire to attack the siege bed crossbows and catapults on the opposite side, and replace the return cannons with gravel scattershots, and attack the enemy's main force!"

"At the same time, the archer troops and crossbow troops are ready, as soon as the main force on the opposite side enters the firing range, they will begin to suppress the fire!"

The issuance of Du Yuanzhi's order made the soldiers on the wall find the backbone at once.

The opponent's 'big advance' general siege method is, to put it bluntly, to disrupt them, and at the same time, it is also putting pressure on them, so that the soldiers operating the city defense equipment on the wall do not know which one to fight.

It's easy to crack it, as long as you stabilize it.

The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, as the defenders of the city, they themselves have the advantage of the city wall, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

The closer distance has made this war officially begin!

On top of the walls of Gaoling Castle, three-bow bed crossbows fired wildly, trying to destroy the enemy siege engines that wanted to threaten them.

This kind of targeted play made Owen, who was in the rear, clearly aware that his 'big advance' did not seem to have much of a disruptive effect on the defending force in front of him.

But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to fight hard, and he is still quite confident in his siege army.

The three-bow bed crossbows on both sides are carrying out crazy long-range strikes on each other.

For a while, it's hard to say who has the upper hand.

During this period, the main force of the Europa people also held their shields high and steadily advanced towards Gaoling City.

After waiting for the opponent's main force to enter their firing range, the return cannon arranged on the head of the Gaoling city wall finally opened fire, and the overwhelming rain of stone bullets directly turned into a powerful suppressive force and smashed towards the enemy troops outside the city.

At the same time, the archers and goblin crossbowmen on the wall were also not to be outdone.

I have to say that this long-range firepower is simply amazing, which makes Owen, who was originally full of confidence, rise a pressure.

But that wasn't enough to scare him.

The infantry units under his command are basically composed of large shield soldiers and shield axe soldiers who have both offensive and defensive balance.

Each soldier was equipped with shields, helmets, and other armor wrapped in iron sheets, all so that they could rush to the wall against the opposing long-range fire.

As long as the distance is shortened to that point, the rear troops on the opposite side will basically be scrapped.

Of course, until then, his own rear troops will spare no effort to cover the main forces!

"Archer troops, all of them release arrows and suppress the wall!!"

Owen yelled in a heavily accented Europa.

The rain of arrows swept directly towards the walls of Kaolin City.

At the same time, the catapult that entered the attack range also began to throw huge boulders one by one rapidly, and in the process of bombarding the opposite wall, it kept making a violent muffled sound.

"Do you need me to lead my troops out of the city to meet the attack?"

Looking at the intruders who were getting closer and closer outside the city, Guo Zhen quickly asked Du Yuanzhi.

"Not for the time being, the invaders' forces have overwhelmed us, and going out of the city to meet the attack will inevitably cause a lot of casualties, and it is more beneficial for us to defend the city wall."

While speaking, Du Yuanzhi quickly gave an order to the soldiers on the side.

"Be prepared to throw logs and rocks, and watch out for the ladder on the other side!"

In the middle of speaking, the enemy's main force had already rushed to the city.

On the top of the wall, the soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time resolutely obeyed Du Yuanzhi's orders and greeted them with rolling logs and stones.

During this period, a large number of the opponent's ladders were also put up on the wall.

The first instinct of the soldiers who noticed this was to push the ladders down.

However, the truth is not that simple.

They found that there was a metal hook attached to one end of the ladder, and when it reached the wall, the hook snapped into their wall like a claw.

In addition, there were several soldiers at the bottom of the ladder, and it was not so easy to push the ladder down for a while.

The Europa soldiers, with their shields in one hand, climbed the ladder so quickly that they looked like nimble monkeys, and in a short time, they were approaching the battle-torn wall.

Du Yuanzhi, who was aware of this situation, naturally hurriedly signaled the infantry troops on the wall to rush up to meet the attack.

With the help of a large number of ladders, a large number of Europa soldiers kept rushing up the wall, and a wall melee began.

The whole situation has completely fallen into a kind of deadlock that consumes each other.

The fierce siege battle lasted until late in the evening, when it ended with a temporary retreat from the invaders' side.

As the night deepened, the fire was still lit up in the battle conference room of the Gaoling City barracks.

Du Yuanzhi frowned deeply and looked at the post-war statistics in front of him.

It stands to reason that after such a fierce siege battle, the casualties of the opponent's siege troops should definitely not be small.

However, the fact is completely inconsistent with Du Yuanzhi's expectations.

In the process of cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, the number of corpses of enemy soldiers was found to be much less than he expected!

"Tin ......"

At this moment, what Du Yuanzhi was holding in his hand was an enemy soldier's helmet.

At the moment of his hand, he could clearly feel a metallic texture.

According to the craftsmen in the city, the enemy was wrapped in a layer of iron on top of the armor.

This is not complicated, but it is an effective way to increase the defensive capabilities of these armors.

In this battle, the main reason why the number of casualties on the other side is so small, this is obviously this.

And it is true that Owen pays great attention to the 'defense' of the soldiers, or the survivability on the battlefield.

A soldier can only create value if he is alive, what is the use of being dead?

It is precisely because of this concept that the army under his command is basically dominated by shield soldiers.

At the same time, although it was already night, the intruder's field camp was still bright.

The engineers who accompanied the army were repairing siege equipment damaged during the day overnight.

Medics are also treating wounds on wounded soldiers.

In the camp tent, taking off the heavy armor, Owen was eating military food at this time, and looked at the casualty report in his hand with a slight frown.

The casualties of this first round of siege battles were even higher than he expected.

The firepower of the city defenders on the opposite side is indeed a bit fierce.

This time, I may have picked a hard bone.

However, this first game was just a tentative outpost battle for him.

While touching the details of the other party, it is his purpose to consume the resources of the city defense on the other side.

It was a one-month war.

You have to take a slightly longer-term view, and you have to calculate step by step.

And this wave of killer features is obviously still firmly held in his hands now!
