Such a close hit directly blew up the rushing car that had bombed the north gate of Shawan Port for an unknown number of times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were cheers from the top of the city, and the soldiers were quite happy to complete the task, which seemed to mean that they did not need to continue to go down and die one by one, as they had done before.

But the cheers didn't last long before everyone realized that something was wrong: there was more than one rushing car of the Marlon Army!

Soon, it didn't take long for the second rushing car to be pushed under the city gates.

The faces of the people turned pale again, and the soldiers all turned their eyes to Verina's face again.

"Go on."

Two words, like two boulders, pressed on everyone's body.

In this way, one by one, the soldiers, under her stern and terrifying gaze, were sent to the hanging basket and pushed into the meat grinder.

The result was still mostly a failure, but the luck of this second rush did not seem to be as good as the first, and the first brigade only died five or six people this time, and this rush was destroyed.

And then there's the third, the fourth......

The soldiers' hearts gradually became numb, but Verina still did not waver.

Finally, when the sixty-fourth soldier was put down, there was a bang, and the sixth rushing car of the Marlon Regiment was destroyed.

At the same time, it was also the last car pushed up by the Malone Army.

Verina slammed her fist, and her iron-like face showed an uplifted look. She raised her arms and said, "The hard price we paid was not in vain, and now, we have won!" ”

Not only was she excited, but the mood swings of the other soldiers were no less than hers. This is really a huge price paid by the soldiers, although most of the people who are still alive on the city wall have never gone down, but in the middle of watching their comrades embark on the road to death one by one, and I don't know if the next person to die is their own kind of torment, people who have not experienced it personally, it is unimaginable.

How can such a victory not make people ecstatic?

It's just that the battle is not over yet.

The charging of the Marlon army was only one of their means of attacking the city. The artillery that was still firing cannonballs in the distance, the trebuchets that kept throwing boulders, and the soldiers who were carrying ladders and climbing on them to the top of the city were still the problems that Verina had to face in this war.

Of course, the first brigade paid a considerable price for blowing up the rushing car of the Marlon Army, but where did the other troops get easily?

When the enemy first attacked the city, they were able to use rolling logs and stone mines to attack the enemy troops who climbed the ladder, but when the opponent's siege tower was pushed up, these things basically did not work.

Siege towers wrapped in thick planks moved more slowly, not as quickly as ladders were pushed up, but when they were in battle, the pressure on the defenders was immediately greater.

The soldiers hiding in the siege towers had little to do to deal with them until they stepped on the ladders in the towers and stepped on the top floors to attack the defenders at the top of the tower. And when they go to the top of the city, there is no need for them - to fight head-on, and only the sword is the right way.

In the fight of one sword and one sword, it is purely a competition of strength.

I saw that the wooden door on the siege tower was kicked open, and then a small group of soldiers hiding in the tower, shouting slogans, rushed forward with swords in hand.

The soldiers of the garrison regiment, who had already been prepared at the head of the city, also raised their spears and attacked first with the advantage of the captain of the weapon.

Although several besieging soldiers were instantly stabbed to death when they rushed out, a few of them still came close, forcing the defenders to throw away their long weapons and pick up their swords on the ground to fight the enemy.

This happened not only in one place, but on the main city walls, and everywhere the siege towers attacked.

The hardest moment of the battle to defend the city has finally arrived.

Fortunately, there is a city wall in front, and even if the people of the Marlon Legion have a siege weapon like a siege tower as help, it is impossible to put too many people on the city wall in one go, so they can only go up little by little, and then strive to fight the gap.

And under the dispatch and command of Verina, the defensive master, it is too difficult to achieve a local advantage for a while, or even a local disadvantage.

The battle between the two sides continued to scorch on the wall, and the soldiers at the head of the bloody city fought valiantly. But in the end, the Marlon Legion was still unable to break through the city walls without all the rushing cars being destroyed.

The battle, which had been fought for a long time, was finally over in the afternoon near dusk. The besieging soldiers retreated to their positions, and within the harbor of Shawan the harbor, the harbor guards, who had also stormed the line of Paran from three streets for a day, but had not gained much, also died down.

The entire Marlon army stopped and did not continue to attack, but of course they had no intention of retreating.

The troops outside the city were stationed two or three kilometers away, while the port guards retreated to the inner city.

Don't think about it, tomorrow they will inevitably continue to attack. Even, tonight I don't know if I can pass safely, it's still an unknown, and Verina has a lot of problems to face.

Fortunately, there are some storage rooms on the city gates and city walls. These storage rooms were originally used to store some of the equipment used to defend the city, such as rolling logs, stone mines, and alchemical cannonballs, but they also stocked some food.

And it was this food that saved the lives of the soldiers defending the city.

Whether it was the garrison battalion in the city, or part of the garrison corps originally stationed outside the harbor, they all came in a hurry to the north gate, where did they have time to prepare any baggage and rations? If it weren't for the food in the storerooms at the city gates, they would have had nothing to eat that night.

Luckily, that didn't happen. But the food problem is still a big problem for Verina.

Although there is some food in the storage room, the amount is not large. One meal tonight, one meal during the day tomorrow, and no food at night.

She estimated that Dane's support forces would not be slow to respond, and should be there in two days. But this is just her prediction, in reality, no one can say what will happen in the past two days. She still thinks it's better to plan for the worst-case scenario.

She knew that she would definitely not be able to hold Shawan Harbor for a long time under the current situation. But at least, she could try to hold on longer, as long as she could.

In this way, the problem of food is a problem that must be solved.

When the soldiers rested, except for the troops who were on the night watch, Verina did not fall asleep quickly, still thinking about this problem. (To be continued.) )
