Chapter 2272: Siege

The walls of Heletirs are now full of Seketors, and of course most of the people standing on the walls are the civilians of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Yes, of course, the church's side finally passed the method of summoning civilians to defend the city, and Sonya's side was also temporarily persuaded by Li Huailin.

The idea of these civilians is also simple, in fact, they have not experienced any war, anyway, they heard that the god Baiaki they believe in needs them, so they stand up, and they don't think of any cruelty of war or anything like that.

After all, the city of Heletirs is the main city, and the armaments are very well prepared, and each civilian also received a weapon, and then he was sent directly to the city wall to stand. And those who are directly subordinate to the church are now temporarily promoted to a rank and become a petty officer who leads these civilians, after all, they are at least trained in military affairs, although they may not be much different from these civilians in terms of combat, but they can at least carry out and convey orders.

It's just that most of them don't know what they're facing now, and there are even people chatting on the city walls, as if they are just coming for an outing. This relaxed scene lasted until Li Huailin's troops arrived.

When I saw the enemy troops appear, the whole scene suddenly fell silent, because there were so many enemies. They didn't need any eyesight, and when they looked out of the city walls, they saw patches of red torches, which looked like they were connected into a sea of fire. This feeling of being overwhelmed by the soldiers made everyone's hearts heavy, and of course they couldn't laugh or laugh.

The siege battle began immediately, and Li Huailin's troops had just arrived on the scene and were almost unprepared before launching an attack immediately. Looking at the sea of fire surging towards their main city, the civilians of Seketor in the city hurriedly launched an attack.

As soon as the battle began, these civilians immediately realized the cruelty of the battlefield, this was not a joke at all, and the friends who were chatting with them in front of them might be directly shot with bows and arrows in the next second, and then fall off the wall and become a lump of powder. The battlefield was chaotic, and the civilians didn't know what they should do at all, but fortunately, the troops directly under it were still shouting for them to fight back, and they could only mechanically follow orders and find a way to fight back.

Of course, this way to counterattack is random, as I said before, the armament of Heletirs City is still relatively sufficient, and theoretically it is enough for defense. But the problem is that these weapons are used by soldiers, for example, you say bows and arrows, there are a lot of them, but do most civilians use them? It doesn't matter if the bow can't be pulled, even if you have the strength to pull away your shot? So the inefficiency of the civilian forces to fight back is outrageous. And the more reliable way they have researched is to smash things.

Yes, it is much more effective to just lift something up and smash it down than with a more difficult thing like a bow and arrow, which is much less technical than a bow and arrow. But the question is...... It is clear that the armament reserves of the city of Hilettirs will not take into account such a situation, bows and arrows they have a lot, but stones and the like......

Of course, the solution is thought up by people, what if there are no stones, everyone is combined, we will demolish the house, this is not so many houses in the city, aren't they all piled up with stones, then now the church needs you to contribute your own house, you hurry up and make a gesture to cover the house.

So the city immediately set up a demolition team and a moving team, which demolished the houses here and quickly moved them to the city wall, and began to smash them against the soldiers below.

Not to mention, the effect of this smash is really good. What everyone didn't expect was that such a defensive battle would still be fought in a decent way. In the past few hours, the Terran invasion force has attacked several times in a row, but they have been beaten back by this improvised civilian force, and no one has climbed the city wall until now, let alone broken the city or anything.

The arrival of such news made the entire church council very excited, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Didn't you say that this force is strong? They can easily annihilate their Third Legion, what's the matter now, there's no problem with this kind of combat power at all.

Such news made Sonia look at Li Huailin next to her with a little worry, but Li Huailin immediately gave her a reassuring expression, as if everything was under control.

Yes, Li Huailin had expected all this a long time ago. The defensive efficiency of the civilians of Seketor here is so low, but how high do you think the offensive efficiency of Li Huailin's troops can be. In fact, Li Huailin's troops have nothing to do with this city wall now.

The walls of the city of Hilettirs are a bit exaggerated, really strong and a little frenzied. Li Huailin actually thought that this city wall would be easy to solve, and if it didn't work, he would find a dragon to shoot it anyway. But then I learned that it wasn't that simple at all.

Here we have to talk about the huge black stone pillar that appeared after clearing the dungeon on the Huaxia Continent last time, that thing is obviously something created by Baiaki to pollute the continent, and this black stone pillar has been spewing black smoke all the time. Who said that it would be over if this black pillar was destroyed directly, this did say something, but they tried it, this black pillar didn't know what material it was made of, it was really unusually hard, not to mention an ordinary thing, I found a sword saint to come and slash directly at this pillar, but there was no reaction.

It's obviously almost "indestructible", but the reason why I talk about it is because the walls of the city of Heletirs are made of this material. According to the Seketor Star Monsters themselves, these Seketor people were still very weak and uncivilized when they followed Baiaki, and they even had problems protecting themselves on this dangerous continent. At this time, the god Baiaki, who understood their suffering, stepped forward and built them such a wall to protect them. It was only later that they built the city inside the walls, and it slowly developed. The city wall that you see now is the one that was built with stones on top of the wall of the past, and it became the current situation.

Of course, this is a legend, and I don't know what the specific situation was back then, according to Li Huailin's idea, it is estimated that Baiaki wanted to build a base here to protect his own defense facilities or something, and as a result, those Seketor people mistakenly thought that it was the blessing of the great god. However, on the issue of authenticity, Li Huailin has also asked Sonia for verification, and this city wall is really difficult to handle.

Li Huailin's troops really have nothing to do with this city wall now, the biggest problem is that there are no siege equipment, they captured some simple siege engines when they were fighting with the Third Legion before, but those siege engines were brought by the Third Legion to support the siege troops in the east, that is to deal with the level of Willings City, and what are the consequences of using it to deal with a city of the level of Hilettiers City? To give a simple example, the ladder in their hands, two of which were connected back and forth, could not reach the top of the city wall under the city of Hilettis.

So don't look at Li Huailin's troops attacking the city so fiercely now, one by one the soldiers carrying this grafted ladder rushed to the side of the city wall, in fact, even if they rushed to the front, the ladder could not be erected, it was not long enough.

Therefore, Li Huailin didn't plan to directly let them take down the city from the beginning, which is basically impossible, unless all their soldiers can fly. And Li Huailin did this, of course, just pretending, in fact, those soldiers carrying the ladder were smashed, even if they were lucky not to be hit, they would lie on the ground when they were almost on the edge of the city wall, as if they were injured and fell to the ground, and then slowly climbed back by themselves after a while. Anyway, now that the battlefield is so chaotic, no one will care if these people are smashed or not.

These sieges seem to be huge, but in fact, they are just pretending, Li Huailin's side did not fight with all his strength, and these charging troops are basically reserve troops, not the main force at all. The casualties are also very limited, you look as if the people in the city smashed it very effectively, and beat the attacking troops back several times, as if the attacking troops suffered serious losses, but in fact, Li Huailin's troops rarely get close to the city wall, how far can you just throw things? In fact, many people who fell did so by running and fell inexplicably, as if they had been seriously injured. Of course, it was true that he was stoned to death and injured again, but it certainly didn't seem so much.

Of course, Li Huailin's plan to let the troops pretend to be another step is to come to the church now to continue to "report secret information".

The battle lasted for hours, and after several hours of fighting, the civilians of Seketor on the city walls were almost exhausted and collapsed. Even if they are racially gifted and physically strong, they can't play like this, how tiring it is to just throw stones. But in their opinion, the current situation seems to be good, at least the other party has not hit at all.

And now the battle seems to have stopped for the time being, the other side has not sounded the horn of attack again, and now the troops are slowly retreating, and they feel that they are ready to rest first, which also allows them to take a breath a little, after all, the battle is too hard.

On the other side, the assault troops on Li Huailin's side were already preparing for an assault.

"Your Majesty, will the other party really open the city gate? Now in this case? McCann couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I've agreed with the other party's commander, and I'll open it in a while." Li Huailin nodded.

"Huh?" McCann was still confused and didn't know what to say. (To be continued.) )
