Chapter 114: The Siege

"The siege has begun, see who can have the last laugh!" Whether it is the besieging side or the defending side, both sides have the same idea at this time, which is to win the final victory in this battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

For us, this is the first frontal siege battle, and many of the system soldiers may have participated in one or more siege battles before coming here, but this time the situation is very different from the previous ones, and their commanders also lack experience in attacking fortifications, so although the advantage is great, the outcome is still unpredictable.

I looked at the outer city of Amur, and the walls were very strong, made of fine stone, and I saw that the height of the wall was as high as seven stories, about the same as the building of my house before the crossing, and it was more than twenty meters high. There were hundreds of battlements of arrows on the walls, and rows of archers were stationed. Baskets filled with stones are placed next to the archers and can be thrown down at any time, or by lighting a fire. Diamond-shaped towers stood at the four corners of the wall, guarded by archers and stationary catapults. The most attractive thing is the vertical torches inlaid with large magic crystals, those torch-like things stand in the middle of the magic array, this kind of city defense circle seems to be simple but can beat the high-level warriors without raising their heads, and is a weapon for defense.

"This is the real wall, even better than ours!" I looked at the city and said to Philip next to me. "To take such a well-defended city, the legion does have two brushes. Now they are guarding the city, and we are attacking it outside, which is not good for us. Philip took a closer look at the city and commented.

The city was fortified, and although there were no castles or moats, it was well defended. The old ancestor said well, the besieging side must be five times stronger than the other party to be suitable for the siege. The difference in strength between us and the Legion may now be a bit double, or even triple. But they're on the defensive, and with legion reinforcements coming at any moment, we have a time limit to fight quickly. But the losses of the assault are there, and I don't want to pay so many excess casualties.

"When the legion attacked the city before, one side of the city wall was very damaged, and if you attack there with all your might, you should be able to quickly resolve the battle and reduce losses." The undead spun around in the air and were shot down several times, but they also brought back important information.

''It seems that there is a lot of damage to the walls there, and the gate pages were temporarily repaired by the legions. But the one that will attack us from there will be the direction of the Legion, and once the Legion reinforcements arrive, we will be flanked by the enemy. After Philip finished speaking, I also set my goal.

''Attack from that direction, let the undead observe the Legion's movements from a wide range and from a distance, and report as soon as they come!'' ''I gave the order, and then led the troops to prepare to pass. But just as I was about to go straight over, Fang Zi stopped me.

"The defense there must be strong, it's better to attack directly from here, I still have two rockets to use." Fang Zi said to me.

''Rocket! I almost forgot. I patted my head and was very happy.

[Rocket: LV1; Damage: 350-700; Damage Radius: 20 meters; Number of uses: 1; Cost: 7; Comments: Gunpowder weapons have been known for their power and terrifying sound since they appeared. And a bunch of crazy and cranky goblins and human engineers have taken this to the fore. With the enormous kinetic energy of gunpowder, even a heavy metal shell can fly in the air at high speed. The Engineers' original idea was to use gunpowder to help the guys in the Goblin Barrel fly better, but instead they built a terrifying weapon of incredible power. Strange as it was, no one cared, and the kings welcomed new weapons into the fray with open arms, and the arena had a cooler and more exciting gadget. And it is said that those engineers are developing something that will send people to the sky, and that they have planned to go to the moon 500 years in advance, but no one believes it. Either way, this powerful weapon can destroy everything you hate! 】

''Prepare to storm the city, attack head-on!'' Soon, the troops were in motion, pretending to go in that direction, and the troops were in full swing, with only the tall and bulky giants lagging behind because of their sluggishness.

''The troops of the Tibetan Fortress are starting to attack the western wall, and we need support!'' The general guarding the western city wall saw the troops rushing over and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

''Boom!'' ‘’

No sooner had the general finished shouting than a cannonball landed on the wall, knocking several archers away. Under the walls, the gunners raised the gun mounts and raised the muzzles so that the shells could hit the walls. The cannons under the city wall continued to fire, and the overwhelming skeleton soldiers once again rushed at the archers on the city wall according to the original formation (the formation of skeleton soldiers, that is, there was no formation). Dense bows and arrows continued to shoot out, the magic mirror began to rotate, and rays containing thick elemental energy continued to shoot out, exploding among the skeletons, and the furious elemental power tore apart and shattered. However, in the face of the huge number, these injuries are not enough, these skeletons don't even need a ladder, they can be stacked by relying on a human ladder, and in the blink of an eye, they are stacked seven or eight meters high, and it is estimated that it will not take long to climb the city wall.

The soldiers on the walls threw down stones, pushed down the woods, and crushed the piles of skeletons into pieces. A group of barbarian fighters, led by the leading knights, rode to the bottom of the city wall on horseback with a huge iron-clad wood, and then jumped off their horses, carried the wood and bombarded the city wall violently, and the city wall, which had been spliced together, began to tremble violently.

''The other side is storming the West City, immediately support the West City Wall, and transfer some of the troops from the other City Wall over!'' ''Looking at the momentum of the other party, although he was a little suspicious, he still ordered the transfer of troops, otherwise with the fortifications that were broken only a few days ago in Xicheng, they would not be able to withstand the attack for a long time, the number of skeletons on the other side was too much, and they covered the attack of important troops, so they couldn't stop it at all.

More than 1,500 men rushed from the aisles of the city wall to the west wall, and under the city wall, a large number of city defense weapons and arrows and stones were transported to the city, heavy ballistae were full of bowstrings, catapults were also loaded with ammunition, weapons were constantly fired, and bone fragments and blood were constantly flying underneath.

The Legion's soldiers began to concentrate on the western wall, and the stones and logs poured down, and arrows rained down, smashing the skeletons and other soldiers who had climbed the walls. The magic array was fully activated, the lifespan of the magic crystals was rapidly depleted, and cracks had begun to appear on some magic crystals. But the constant attacks did work, and under the suppression of the dense attacks on the city, the attack of the opposing troops also slowed down, and the knights and barbarian fighters under the city were also injured by the magic attack, and the flames also ignited the siege wood, and they began to retreat.

The troops began to retreat, leaving behind a large number of skull fragments and a handful of corpses to retreat, which were still numerous but already looked a little embarrassed.

"It's a retreat, and the city gate was almost breached." The general guarding the west gate exhaled, wiped the sweat from his head, and temporarily relaxed his mood when he looked at the city gate, which was already full of cracks.

"Boom!" As always, every time the Legion feels like they can relax, something surprises. The terrifying loud noise frightened the soldiers and officers to the point that their hearts trembled, and their legs trembled. Not because they were worried, but because the whole wall shook.

Horrific explosions, shattered gates and walls, raging flames. The special object that was emitting flames slammed into the gate of the eastern city wall, shattering the gate wrapped in thick iron plates, and the nearby rock wall also fell off in large pieces.

"Boom!"

The second rocket landed at the top of the city, destroying the generals in charge of the city wall, the nearby city defense equipment, and the magic defense array, along with a nearby part of the city wall. The fortified walls trembled under the double blow, and some of the vulnerable places collapsed directly. The soldiers staggered, and the ballistas and catapults were also out of position in the tremors, and even directly knocked down.

The tall giants had not been able to reach the Western Wall because of "speed", but at this time they rushed over like chickens, carrying a large number of troops and artillery!

"We've been fooled!" When he felt the violent shaking of the walls, Rooney understood what was going on. But he can't help it, the eastern wall is finished under that level of attack, and if the western troops are also sent over, then the western troops who have just retreated will soon attack back again, attacking the city from both directions, and then everything will be over!

"The other troops hold on, the troops in the city start street fighting, and the city must be held no matter what!" Rooney gave the order and walked out with his sword in hand.

Under the eastern city wall, the giant walked in front of the city wall surrounded by a large number of skeleton soldiers, threw a punch, completely knocked down the broken city gate, and led a large number of troops to rush into the city.

The defenders on the walls were still resisting, but soon their defenses were broken by the skulls that rushed up, and the defensive equipment that could be used was broken to pieces, and the troops of the Hidden Soldiers marched into the city.

"Roar!" With a roar of rage, a massive claw slapped to the ground, its hard carapace higher than the house next to it. A giant turtle of the size of a giant slowly crawled over, blocking the way of the troops of the Tibetan Soldier City.

On the side of the western city wall, although the number of people was much smaller, the opposing troops still launched a charge, and this time the momentum was more fierce and more terrifying.

Tall giants clapped their fists and walked through the troops. In his huge eyes, the wall was in ruins.

The soldiers of the Legion had a bad feeling that the city might not be able to hold it......
