On the 12th, the two sides had already had some fights. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dane's siege equipment hadn't been set up yet, after all, he had just arrived in the city. However, the artillery positions had been pushed forward and began to bombard the defending artillery of Hekatim at the head of the city.

The roar of alchemy explosives filled the entire battlefield. It's just that this day's confrontation can be regarded as thunder and rain.

Dane didn't expect to knock on the gates of Mihe City with just an artillery unit. According to intelligence, above the head of Mihe City, there are also a large number of defenders of the city. Although the quality of the artillery is not comparable to Dane's artillery unit, and there is a slight gap in quantity, after all, they have a condescending terrain advantage, and in terms of range and accuracy, they are more advantageous than Dane's artillery unit that fires its guns upwards on the ground.

Overall, such a confrontation is half a catty for both sides. But there was no need for Dane to push the artillery position too far forward, and while that would have led to good results, the losses would undoubtedly have increased.

After half an afternoon of artillery fire, Dane lost two cannons, and the enemy's defending artillery at the head of the city was also knocked out two guns, and both sides whistled their horns to retreat.

On the morning of the second day, artillery was still firing, and the soldiers on both sides had not really exchanged hand-to-hand combat. This time the fire was still not much progress, the intensity was still not great, and Dane's artillery unit was completely undamaged, but the defenders were more unlucky and knocked out one of them.

At noon, both sides sounded their horns and withdrew their troops.

It's been almost a day and a half, and Dane hasn't been in a hurry to make a move towards Mihe City, but that doesn't mean he hasn't done anything. Why didn't Dane want to take the city directly in one go? It's just that the cautious attitude of Hekatim still creates certain obstacles.

If this guy can come out and fight him in the field, then the matter will be solved. It's just that the enemy can't do such a stupid thing, and Hekatim is crazy, so he will go out of the city to fight Dane when his soldiers are strong and imposing.

Therefore, if you want to attack the city, especially if you want to conquer Mihe, a city with a lot of soldiers, you can rush directly to force it, of course, it is impossible. All the preparations for the siege must be made, such as the ramming vehicles against the city gates, such as the siege towers and ladders.

By the afternoon of the thirteenth, when Dane had all these things ready, he began to launch the first attack.

The four main wings of the main army formed a formation and stopped outside the range of the enemy's city-head artillery. The infantry then began to push the ram carts and siege towers forward.

The first to fight between the two sides was their respective artillery units. It's just that the intensity of the mutual shelling this time is completely different from that of the morning and yesterday. Dane's artillery, with their guns, approached perfectly, reached the optimal range, and then began to fire fiercely at the city. Although Dane's artillery lost a group in the process of advancing, it was only enough to suppress the garrison artillery of Hekatim.

The artillery units were followed by siege equipment pushed by the infantry.

Thousands of soldiers pushed all kinds of tools forward, and the black oppressive head made the enemy soldiers on the city wall feel quite depressed.

The officers supervising the battle at the head of the city also felt the solemnity of the atmosphere. These officers from Chaos City or Cinderella, no matter what, there is no problem with their combat literacy. They took a breath and shouted the word 'shoot' as Dain's siege force came into range.

But the first strike was still Dane's Ranger troops.

More than a dozen improvised siege towers, pulled by cattle and horses, kept moving forward, and formed a staggered formation of a short distance apart. The yellow sand blew, and in the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, the top of these huge war machines was already full of elven rangers.

The arrows of the rangers are faster than the archers who are guarding the head of Mihe City!

The rain of arrows in the sky was leveled down, and the elven rangers were much better at shooting accurately than the archers of the Greekatim Legion. Moreover, the rangers standing on the siege towers did not need to think about throwing their heads up, they only used to aim their arrows at the enemies hiding in the city as if they were training, and then release the bowstring, often with sharp arrows to take a life.

Even Hekatim, who was standing at the head of the city watching the battle, was almost shot by a ranger arrow!

Somewhat embarrassed, he unleashed a protective arrow spell in front of him again, and the whole person had to take a few steps back. He looked at Dane's attacking troops with a grim face, and his heart was already heavy.

In the process of approaching forward, Dane's siege engines were not without blows. Two rows of soldiers carrying the ladder forward were directly hit by the artillery defending the city, not to mention many casualties, and the ladder was also smashed; One of the siege towers was also shelled, destroying the movable rollers underneath the tower, leaving the siege tower lying on its stomach and unable to move forward.

But this is only a small achievement, in fact, the scene of the war, but the defense of the city, is being completely suppressed at the moment!

After the defending artillery was suppressed, and the artillery at the head of the city had to open fire on the besieging troops under pressure, the suppression of Dane's artillery position plummeted. Of course, this allowed the defending artillery to hit Dane's besieging forces, but they themselves suffered heavy losses under the heavy shelling of the besieging side.

Smoke erupted from the city, and the situation around several forts was simply miserable. Some of the artillery was directly hit by the shells, not only the iron-cast cannons were blown up, but also the detonation of the reserve shells, resulting in an entire area of the battery in ruins, and of course none of the members of the artillery crew around it could survive. The artillery of the slightly more fortunate battery was still there, but after the constant artillery bombardment, it was difficult for the soldiers who controlled the artillery to resist with their flesh and blood.

Everywhere there were bodies destroyed by shells, and there was flying rubble everywhere.

With the defending artillery suppressed, the archers who stayed at the head of the city and fired arrows were no better. They were completely inferior in the battle with the ranger troops on the siege tower, with countless casualties, but it was difficult to cause many casualties to the rangers, and the accuracy of the shooting between the two sides was completely out of the same level.

"How is this battle still going to be fought?" He Katim had such a thought in his heart.

――――

Yesterday I stayed up all night on New Year's Eve and slept until about this moment before I got up. I'm old, I can't stand it like this, I'm almost a waste cat now.

Holding on to the yard chapter, I'm going to go out foraging for food, and then come back and sleep again.

And again, Happy New Year! (To be continued.) )
