Chapter 304: Sword of the Wind

Siege is a hassle no matter where it is - especially if the defenders are bent on holding it off and do not want to fight back.

Darius didn't care about the sacrifice of his soldiers, but fighting wasn't just about not being afraid of sacrifice.

Besilico was well prepared, with plenty of equipment for the defense and an army for the defense, and Darius commanded the first, second, and third formations to storm in turn, but in the end the attack was until the sun set, leaving only a few pontoon bridges scattered on the ground, except for corpses all over the ground.

And if nothing else, at night Besilko will easily destroy these pontoons.

Although the mages and archers on Darius's side were not used much, there were also many things in Besilico that were not used.

In general, it was Darius's side that suffered a small loss.

Originally, this "small loss" did not matter to Darius - although it seemed to be a heavy casualty, in reality the death toll was not even a tenth of that of all armies, and the battle looked terrible mainly because the city of Besilico itself was surrounded by mountains on two sides and the sea on the other, and the area of the walls that could be attacked was too small.

But the trouble is that Noxus can't afford it.

At this time, Darius did not know that Besilico's purpose was the Noxian navy at sea, but the prestige of Noxus alone was enough to make Darius anxious.

Noxus is a federation of a large number of city-states, some of which brought their own dry food to Noxus, and some of them joined Noxus after being conquered, but the strength of Noxus itself is undoubtedly the centripetal force of the country.

Therefore, Noxus can't show his weakness, once Noxus doesn't seem strong enough, it is inevitable that those city-states will have some careful thinking - especially those close to the north and south, once they choose to hook up with the satisfaction of Freljord or the Shurima, then Noxus will probably face a lot of trouble.

In this case, Darius knew very well that he had to deal with Besilico as soon as possible, and tell everyone that Noxus was still strong and unstoppable!

So, the question is, how to quickly capture a well-defended city?

Rushing and wheel-to-wheel warfare had proven to be stupid tactics, and Darius felt he needed to change his mind.

"Tell Draven to come and see me."

……………………

Early the next morning, the Noxians again set up outside the city.

And on Besilko's side, after a small victory, the morale of the soldiers had clearly risen to a higher level.

Although everyone had decided to follow Qurieta to the end, it was undeniable that the Noxus army still put a lot of psychological pressure on everyone present.

After all, this is the Noxian legion!

But yesterday's small victory quickly alleviated the tension - although some of the Noxus Legion's long-range counterattacks in the battle yesterday afternoon also brought a lot of casualties to the city, but in any case, it was us who won!

We defeated the Noxian Legion in yesterday's battle - and the commander of the opposing side is the famous Noxian Hand Darius!

So the next day, Besilko's soldiers were in good condition.

But soon, the prepared Darius gave the guys a dismount.

Like yesterday, the Noxians began to charge to the beat of the drums again—but this time, it wasn't the local legions, but the axe-throwers and the Trevali legion led by Draven himself.

After seeing the cool hairstyle of Dravin, who rushed to the front, Queletta immediately frowned.

"Everyone, use the enchanted arrows and shoot freely!"

"Heavy artillery ready, target moat, put!"

"Prepare the equipment for defending the city, prepare for the anti-arrow enchantment!"

By the time Querieta delivered her orders, Dravin's troops had already rushed within reach of the arrows at the head of Besilico.

Arrows rained down.

But the effect is simply different from yesterday.

Draven and all the soldiers prepared a counter-arrow barrier between the charges, and the arrows on the head of the city nailed to the invisible barrier in front of the stormtrooper, and then landed directly - only a few enchanted arrows managed to pass through the barrier, but they quickly failed to return in front of the thick armor.

On the other side of the city, the Besiliks who reacted directly began to output maximum firepower, and in this case, the stormtroopers also began to suffer casualties - only by this time, they had successfully rushed to the edge of the moat.

The Trifali Legion began to erect makeshift pontoon bridges, while the axe-throwing troops threw a large number of throwing axes at the walls.

Throwing axes are far more lethal than arrows - these axe-throwers are the elite of Noxians with great strength, and they easily threw their axes onto the city, passing through the anti-arrow barrier and inflicting considerable casualties on the archers.

The presence of the axe caused the counterattack on the head of the city of Besilko to be sluggish.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Darius commanded his archers to a position where they could shoot at the head of the city with the help of a counter-arrow barrier.

After the axe throwers were gone, the archers were finally in position - in this case, the attackers and defenders began to fire round after round.

Although the top-down arrows are more powerful, the bottom-up arrows are more numerous, and the two sides unknowingly have a five-five fight.

Thanks to the cover of the archers, the Trifali army quickly erected a pontoon bridge and began to climb over the moat - the moat, which was nearly 100 meters wide, was crossed in an instant, and the Trifali army began to attack the city walls with great vigour.

Seeing that her archers had suffered heavy losses in the course of the fire, Queleta finally frowned.

She had also heard of the name of the Triphali Legion, and once she really let this force get close to the city walls, the consequences would be really unimaginable!

What to do?

At this critical moment, a gust of wind blew, and the sound of the desolate and vast shakuhachi suddenly appeared in the battlefield.

At the same time, an Ionian warrior in full armor appeared at the head of Besilik.

It's Yasuo.

Yasuo now considered himself the last man in the Wind Dojo - he was no longer dressed as a wanderer, but once again put on the armor he wore to protect the Elders.

The usual haphazard bun is now concealed under a tall hood, on which a large Old Ionian word for "wind" catches the eye.

The worn shoulder armor and casual short clothes have also been replaced by carcass and foot equipment, and the only thing that has not changed is the long sword in his hand.

With his sword in his right hand, his thumb against the sword, and his left hand on the sheath, Yasuo leaped down the city wall.

The sharp blade is unsheathed, and the power of the wind comes out with the sword, and the momentum is incomparable.

An invisible wall of qi appeared by the moat, stopping all the arrows from the attackers.

Returning the blade into the sheath, and then the blade came out of the sheath, Yasuo's figure flashed next to the two Trefali soldiers in front, and the two of them didn't even know what was happening, so they fell directly in response.

With the sword in hand, Yasuo's center of gravity sank slightly, and his eyes burned at Draven, who was rushing towards him.

Seeing the flying axe coming through the air, Yasuo drew his sword again.

"Sa-face the wind!"
