Chapter 14: Siege Warfare

......More than 200 arrows rained down from the sky with a sharp wind-breaking sound.

Whew......

At this time, at this time, the elven archers who were hiding and standing behind had already reached the front, standing in a neat row, not on the entire wall, and drew their proud longbows.

The elven archers shot, at such a distance, and they were condescending, and the hit rate could reach more than 70%, just a face, after the rain of arrows, nearly two hundred people on the other side fell together.

Elven archers are now at a low level, and they can't reach the point where they can hit arrows, and one arrow is deadly, and when they are promoted to advanced and can learn skills such as multiple arrows and accurate shooting, they can become even more powerful.

Elven Archer has a total of three skills to learn, and when you reach level 3, you will automatically master the "Precision Shooting" skill, which can greatly improve the hit rate and the attack strength of the feather arrow. When you reach level 6, you can master "Multiple Arrows", which can shoot from three to seven arrows at a time, and when you reach level 10, you can learn "Moon God Guardian" to improve the accuracy and strength of archery, and you can use the Luna Aura to resist some physical damage and magic damage.

If the elven archer can break through level 10 and reach level 11, he has become an acquired hero, and he can continue to grow and learn more skills. These skills are mainly learned from heroes, namely Tyrande.

The infantry of the orcs is the same, when they reach level 3, they can learn berserk skills and increase their attack power by 50%, but they will lose their minds a little, only know how to attack, and keep killing until the berserk effect disappears. At level 6, orc soldiers can learn to slash and pick up their weapons to deal a certain range of damage, which is perfect for large dogfights. At level 10, the orc infantry can learn the Heavy Attack skill, unleash an attack that is several times more powerful, and has a chance to stun the opponent. Orc infantry who break through level 11 and become an acquired hero can learn skills from Juggernaut or Minotaur Chieftain or King of the Hill.

The fall of two hundred men was not enough to shake the morale of Kalu's army, because they had five thousand men, and two hundred were only a small fraction for them.

However, the next moment, another sound of breaking the sky sounded, and more than 150 people fell again. The reason why the second wave of arrow rain did not fall so many people was because the other party was on guard, and they all held up their shields to resist, or dodged, so some of them missed. However, this level of accuracy, among the archers, is already extremely high.

This scene suddenly made the commander of Kalu's army feel a shock in his heart.

According to their understanding of the Lion King Territory, there should not be many troops here, where did so many elite archers come from? Could it be that they hired mercenaries? However, it costs a lot of money to hire mercenaries, and hasn't the Lion King's finances bottomed out?

Although he saw that the opponent's archers were strong, he could not issue an order to retreat now, and the charge was all about momentum, and if he saw that the situation was not good and retreated, the losses would be even more serious. Now that they have charged, the only way to quickly rush to the bottom of the wall, set up a ladder, and climb the city wall is the best policy. As long as the city wall is up, the role of the archer is not reflected.

Long Hui was also taken aback when he saw the two rounds of shooting from these two hundred archers, this was the most accurate archer he had ever seen.

With such archers defending the city, the other side will definitely suffer a big loss. At this point, he regained some self-confidence.

"Stop, stop them, don't let them step on the walls." Long Hui commanded the Lion King's current nearly 400 infantry, ready to meet the soldiers who were about to attack the city.

All of a sudden, the shouts of the charge and the sound of arrows breaking through the air became the main theme on the battlefield, and people on the other side kept falling, and it was difficult to get up again.

However, after a few breaths of charge, the opposing army had also reached the foot of the city and began to set up the ladder. It's just that after this experience, Karui's army has actually suffered nearly 800 casualties. It's just a few breaths away, and it's incredible to inflict such a kill.

After setting up the ladder, the soldiers below began to climb up to the city wall desperately, although the archers tried their best to shoot and kill, but because there were too many people, the city wall was very long, and many places could not be taken care of, many of them still climbed up.

Once these soldiers are allowed to go up the walls and form a melee situation, the role of the archers will immediately decrease, and they will no longer be too much of a threat to the soldiers below.

The archers defending the city are most useful only in the initial stage, when the opponent has not yet climbed to the top of the city. However, this is usually short-lived.

"They even have archers?" Karui saw a group of his troops falling, although not all of them died, and some of the wounded could continue to fight, but so many archers were also a big threat to siege warfare.

He originally thought that the Lion King had no army for a long time, and after he came, he should have directly collapsed his morale and surrendered.

The magician, as well as the city-breaking car, were all here to save face as a deterrent, so they didn't think they could be used.

But he didn't expect that it was such a photo that so many people were shot and killed by the other party, which was really unexpected by him.

However, he didn't have much to worry about, because he had 5,000 men, and the other party would definitely not have more than 1,000 troops now. Five thousand against a thousand, even if it's a siege battle, it's absolutely fine, not to mention the magicians and the city-breaking vehicles.

At this time, seeing that the soldiers who had set up the ladder were about to climb the city, a smile appeared on Karui's face. It's all coming to an end.

As long as the soldiers grab the head of the city and occupy a bridgehead position, then the lion king is equivalent to falling.

Roar......

However, at this moment, a thunderous roar sounded above the city.

Two hundred strong men with a height of more than two meters shrouded in black cloaks suddenly rushed up to the wall, and the first soldier of the Karui army who rushed to the wall was just about to make a move, one of the strong men rushed forward, just hit it with his shoulder, and suddenly the soldier flew directly from the wall more than ten meters away.

Shocking.

The sudden appearance of two hundred strong men made the other soldiers who were climbing up a slight pause, but they also knew in their hearts that they could not retreat at this time, and if they retreated, they would be stacked with the soldiers behind, and the archers of the other party could easily shoot them.

So, after a slight pause, they rushed towards the city again quickly.

However, they were greeted by a wheel plate axe the size of a basin, and they had just stepped on the wall, and when the axe came down, they could not even carry the shield at all, and even the people with the shield were split in half.

The walls of the Lion King's Territory were very long, thousands of meters, and the two hundred orc infantry were distributed over such a long defensive line, which seemed to be a little stretched.

However, the strength of the orc infantry can completely ignore these.

When Kalu's soldiers attacked the city, they could only use the ladder, and they only needed to stand a few orcs at the place of the ladder, and no matter how many came, they would never be able to come up.

If the archers only surprised Karui slightly at first, the appearance of these orc infantry completely shocked him.

He didn't know where Xiao Yu found these strange troops, although he didn't know that the other party was an orc, but he could also see the strength of these soldiers.

Karui's commander had a serious face, watching dozens of ladders be built, but when they went up, they all turned into corpses and fell down, and his face was very ugly.

With so many ladders and such a long way out, it is said that they should have been attacked a long time ago, but even a few soldiers guarded it, and none of them could go up.

At this time, the archers above were still in full swing, and the feathered arrows continued to rain down, and the soldiers below had suffered heavy losses although they were protected by shields.

The battle lasted less than 10 minutes, but they had already lost more than 1,000 men. And the other party doesn't seem to have lost a single person.

"They are so powerful infantry and archers, it seems that it will be difficult to climb the walls like this. Only by breaking through the city gate head-on, as long as you break through the city gate and go in hand-to-hand combat, you will definitely be able to easily defeat them by relying on the advantage of numbers. This commander felt bad for a while, he originally brought 5,000 people to bully such a small territory, and he thought it was a knife to kill chickens, but he didn't expect that more than 1,000 people died in front of him, which made him embarrassed.

This time I went back, and I was sure to be punished, although the responsibility was not on him, because he didn't find out the information of the other party, and the archers and infantry of the other party were very powerful. But Karui will definitely put all the blame on him, and he will inevitably be punished when the time comes.

I can only hope that the city-breaker has broken through the city, won this victory, and can go back to offset the credit a little.

Rumble......

The city-breaking vehicle had already reached the bottom of the city gate at this time, and the huge city-breaking cone had been pulled up by the soldiers shouting and slammed into the city gate.
