Chapter 263: Crisis
The enemy's strategy is very ingenious, and the combination of troops is reasonable, first distracting the defenders' vision with fog, then climbing the city wall with the advantage of werewolves, and then stabilizing the advantage of the wall with fierce troops, providing the environment for the follow-up troops.
Unlike werewolves, who use fast movement to give their enemies a lethal move, the Swamp Warrior chooses to directly confront the defenders with their armor and scales.
While Petrolev was being pulled up, the manticores that had been hovering in the sky also rushed over, and the first target was the trebuchet, and the huge force of the manticores after diving could not be destroyed once, and the position of the trebuchet could be deviated. The entire defense system, which had seemed to be perfect in Petrov, completely collapsed at this moment.
"I don't allow you to take a step back!!" Petrov commanded loudly after slashing off the head of a swamp warrior with a single sword. More and more swamp monster warriors emerged from the wall, not because the soldiers on the city wall were not strong, but as long as the defenders had an advantage, the manticore would immediately rush over and pull it with its claws or crash directly into the crowd, and the defensive formation established by a few people or dozens of people would be dismantled in minutes. The swamp monsters who were blocked by the ladder took advantage of this opportunity to turn over immediately, and after a few moments, the wall could never be taken back.
After cleaning up the werewolves who entered the city, the berserkers immediately began to consciously gather at the entrance of the city wall, and the first wave of werewolves wanted to rush into the city after rushing up the city wall, but they were quickly eliminated by the berserkers who had already prepared. Many berserkers are two-handed or wielded, so it is difficult to use their full strength within the walls. And the situation on the city wall they have long seen in their eyes, Slughof Fortress has never allowed the enemy to climb the city wall so quickly, and the siege battle with werewolves as cannon fodder is unheard of, werewolves, that's werewolves, a hundred werewolves casually destroy five times as many ordinary enemies in the wild, although they rarely cross the border, but Kislev was often ambushed when assisting the dwarves before, especially the material troops, even if there is a large group of cavalry protection, there is basically no return when encountering werewolves, But now they have been used as cannon fodder, and the swamp monster warriors, these heavy armored soldiers have appeared on the battlefield before, but only the Bretonnian expeditionary force has encountered them, these creatures who can also use their mouths as weapons, and the heavily armored ones stand on the front line, and all kinds of behemoths have become the main force to defeat the Bretonnian expeditionary army.
"Boom!" Just when the berserkers were hesitating to climb the city wall without an order, they heard the gate rumble, and the gate flicked inward, and a lot of debris piled up on the periphery was bounced out.
After a brief "silence", there was another loud bang, and it was obvious that there were two inward marks on either side of the heavy gate.
"Quick! Block the city gates!! I don't know who shouted, but the ordinary soldiers and berserkers at the city gate heard the wind and picked up the debris that had been bounced to the ground and piled up at the city gate. Carriages, for example, were pushed horizontally in front of them, while long ones, such as beams that had not yet been carried up to the city walls, were pushed diagonally to the gates.
Petrolev on the city wall was also very anxious, and he didn't need to look at him to know that this was the power of the war mammoth, this beast as tall as the city gate was like the power of several steam tanks, and the shock caused by hitting the city gate was felt throughout the city wall.
Over the years, there have been hundreds of battles by Andre's side, but I have never seen such a battle, these most elite forces that originally belonged to the entire Far North were all like cannon fodder at this moment, but I have to say that the effect is very amazing, only the first wave of siege unexpectedly climbed the city wall, as simple as not defending.
Several swamp monster warriors took advantage of the vibration of the city wall to forcibly break through in the direction of Petrov, first turned around and threw their tails fiercely around, and the soldiers who had not dodged "Smack!" They were knocked to the ground with a thud, but these swamp monster warriors did not take the opportunity to rush up to pick up the cheap, and when the surrounding range of activity expanded due to the flicking of their tails, they immediately used their bodies to open the way, and after smashing away several guards, they slashed at Petrolev with their axes.
Petrov had long noticed these enemies who had climbed the city wall and picked up the group, and after they came up, they moved very steadily, and a few people reported that the group moved slowly, and at the same time as the city wall shook, they suddenly exerted force.
Petrolev's long sword is not strong in armor-piercing ability, so when facing the swamp monster warrior, unless it is fatal with a blow, it still takes a lot of effort, looking at the vertical axe, Petrolev first turned the sword downward, turned to the other side of the sword one hundred and eighty degrees, raised his right foot and kicked the other swamp monster warrior who followed him, after standing firm, the right foot was the center of gravity, and the left foot kicked back, the giant sword flew up, and bounced to the protruding jaw of the swamp monster that split the air and turned around, and the force was so strong that he would take it back and sit on the ground, He was stabbed to death by the surrounding soldiers.
And Petrov's sword, under his control, turned three hundred and sixty degrees back to the front, and slammed forward, "Poof! With a thud, the tip of the sword stabbed out from the back of the swamp monster's head in front of him. Two companions were killed in a row, and the small group that broke through instantly collapsed, and was beaten back by the rest of the soldiers.
After Petrolev drew his broadsword, he took a deep breath and looked around, the corpses all over the ground and the sound of fighting made him a little distracted, and the heavy armored units either couldn't climb the city wall, seeing that once they boarded, it would be a nightmare for the defenders. Because in the early stage of the city wall, most of them are long-range units and shield and sword soldiers, and the armor-piercing weapon is easy to be injured by mistake, like a werewolf rushing to the city wall, a halberd or an axe goes up with its movements, once it is dodged, it is extremely easy to accidentally injure teammates. In one, the heavy armor unit climbs the siege ladder very slowly, and the ladder of poor quality is easy to break, usually they use siege towers, but the city is equipped with trebuchets on the city wall, unless the number of siege towers is extremely large, otherwise it is to send them to death, and also block the road, giving more output time to the long-range troops on the city wall.
But now these heavily armored units not only climbed the city wall at a very fast speed, but there was no way to stop it, it was difficult for the shield swordsman to deal damage to them at one time, and if the sword went up and could not cut the place beyond the armor, he could be killed by the backhand in the next second. Not to mention the manticores flying around in the sky, and the ranged troops have all retreated from the walls after they have harassed them.
Although the entire city wall is still dominated by human soldiers, the number of swamp warriors continues to increase, and their original position on the city wall is getting bigger and bigger, and they are still expanding in a fan-shaped direction. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
