182 There are no siege points

Poof, a gnoll warrior easily cut the rushing French line infantry in half from the waist, and then grabbed the bayonet stabbed from the other side, and regardless of the blood on his palm, he quickly sent the knife into the stomach of the opposite French line infantry.

In the face of the Tier 3 demonic creature Gnoll warriors, the bayonet charge launched by the Tier 1 French line infantry is not much different from sending them to death......

But they're buying time for their teammates in the back!

When the first wave of the French line infantry charging with bayonets all fell, the gnolls who were in full swing suddenly found that there was an extra three-column salvo on the platform of the siege tower!

"Fire!"

As the command knife fell, the gnoll warrior who had just captured the pedal trembled and was beaten into a sieve......

Immediately afterwards, this group of French line infantry launched a bayonet charge again!

The staircase below the siege tower was crowded with a steady stream of scraggling French line infantry, lining up to climb the siege tower!

Boom Boom Boom ......

After several misses, a mana cannon with a reversed muzzle finally hit the crowded siege tower, followed by dozens of mana cannonballs that wiped out the siege tower along with the crowd inside and around it!

At this point, the French infantry had one less entrance to the city......

A group of French infantry who had not climbed the siege tower came to the smooth city wall, and when they were about to throw the climbing hook upward, spikes several meters long suddenly protruded from the city wall, and the French line infantry holding siege ropes were pierced one by one into flesh and blood gourds!

The spikes then retracted abruptly into the walls, and the corpses of the French line infantry hanging on them fell under the walls......

When the French line infantry in the back saw this scene, they had to give up their plan to rely on the city wall to climb the city.

Those spikes are simply not defensible, and no number of people are enough to die......

In the end, the French infantry had to face the harsh reality that they could only climb the walls with those siege towers as their point of attack!

And these siege towers not only suffered great losses in the process of pushing, but after being docked on the city wall, they were also aimed and fired by the magic cannons that turned their muzzles!

Those semi-circular turrets are protruding from the wall, and when the muzzles are turned, they can form crossfire on the resting siege towers!

Even if the Chaos Orc's aiming ability is very poor, it can't stand up to the mana cannons!

The only good news for the French infantry was that the French infantry on the siege tower relied on the suicidal three-column salvo bayonet charge tactics to successfully wipe out the demonized gnolls defenders on the city walls and ascend to the top of the city!

However, as one siege tower after another is blown down, the French line infantry who climb to the top of the city will soon be rootless duckweed!

As expected, as the commander of the French line infantry had predicted, when all the siege towers were shattered, the thousands of French line infantry who had climbed the city walls were completely deprived of support.

At this time, a large number of heavily armed Chaos Orcs rushed to the head of the city and fought with the French line infantry.

The French line infantry basically only had one chance to shoot, and they were completely crushed in hand-to-hand combat, but the small amount of explosives carried by the French line infantry had a great effect, and a small number of the French line infantry rushed towards the Chaos Orcs with lit large grenades, completing the feat of exchanging one for many for the first time!

Generally speaking, in hand-to-hand combat, ten French line infantry can't kill a single Chaos orc!

The bayonet pierced into the flesh and skin of the Chaos Orc, and it will be stuck by the Chaos Orc's tough muscles, and it will not be able to stab the vital internal organs at all!

And the Chaos Orcs swept casually, and any French line infantry that touched it was killed!

The area at the head of the city was not large, and the thousands of French line infantry were still divided into a unit, after all, the siege tower was not located against the wall.

Originally, all the attacking siege towers were not far from each other, enough to ensure that the ascending troops quickly converged and reinforced each other.

But after the baptism of rapid fire from the magic cannon, it was clear that the scattered siege towers could not support each other......

In this way, the scattered thousands of French line infantry only wiped out more than 300 Chaos Orcs and all of them were killed!

The entire siege battle also ended with the collapse of all the siege towers.

Although the attack failed, it provided valuable lessons to the commanders of the French Line Infantry, who finally understood why the Federalists were so afraid of the Magic Castle.

If such a magic castle does not have superior artillery, it is indeed difficult to capture it.

Only with a superior number of artillery can the cannonballs be used to suppress the semicircular magic turrets on the city walls.

The half-virtual and half-real magic cannon can't be shattered, but the chaos orcs controlled above can be blown up!

It's a pity that the French line infantry didn't have a single field gun available, and it was simply impossible to suppress the Chaos Orcs on the semicircular battery.

The Chaos Orcs controlled on the semi-circular turret are all far away from the battlements, and there is a special tall female wall around the semi-circular protrusion, and the musket below can't hit the Chaos Orcs on the semi-circular turret no matter how much they shoot upward.

While the French line infantry on the siege tower can hit the Chaos Orcs on parallel semicircular turrets, they must be directly facing each other.

It is foreseeable that the slow-moving siege towers will be bombarded by the magical cannons above if they face the semi-circular turret......

When Count Badajoth saw the withdrawal of the 'Union Army', he took advantage of his face to send people to the front line to inquire about the captured prisoners.

Although the Chaos Orcs eat people, because of the orders of the Chaos Human Lord, they will capture human captives on the battlefield.

Not surprisingly, Count Badajoth received a piece of disappointing news.

Not a single French line infantry on the battlefield surrendered, not to mention, even the French line infantry who was captured after being beaten unconscious would rather commit suicide than spit out half a word after waking up!

As a result, Count Badajoth is still confused about the 'Federation Army' outside the city, not knowing which Union army they are, and even whether the other party is a real Federation Army!

After all, the French line infantry was all white soldiers, and it was easy to think of the bad aspects.

The main body of the federal army is mainly Asian!

Although the federal army is very fond of recruiting white natives as cannon fodder soldiers, it cannot be said that these soldiers who are not afraid of death are cannon fodder......

If the cannon fodder were so desperate, the Purple Dragon Federation would have unified all the regions of the known world a long time ago!

In any case, the attacking 'Federation Army' lost all of its siege towers and was unable to launch a second wave of attacks for a while.
