Chapter 140. A tough siege lineup! (3rd Update!! )
A pair of ears swayed like a fan, and the four hooves erected were like giant pillars of optimus, supporting the whole world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The skin on Info's body is inky throughout, like a build-up of rough and decaying tree bark.
Before Chopin could take a closer look, Kit spoke up again, interrupting his original thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I have arranged the evacuation of the nearby residents in advance, and in this battle, I think it is safer to defend the city first and then counterattack."
Chopin did not dare to be careless in dealing with the Earl of Fordes, who had made a great name in the West Sea, and the so-called fame of the other party was all made of countless blood and corpses, and those who had underestimated him in the past were afraid that the corpses had already decomposed.
"Okay."
After hesitating, Chopin also nodded.
**********
On the beach in the distance, more than 3,000 people have begun to assemble, and the war on the endless sea is never a simple matter of a certain arm dominating the world, but the perfect cooperation between various arms of the army, so that it is possible to win the battle.
And in such a collision of thousands of people, the role that one or two magicians or Dou Qi warriors can play is also small and pitiful, at most it is to release brilliant magic power or dazzling Dou Qi to kill a few or a dozen warriors, and then it will be short-lived, ruthlessly swallowed up by those warriors who go forward and succeed.
It's just a little strange that the more than 3,000 figures are clearly divided into two groups, and the soldiers under Fordes, who had made Chopin wait for him, are at the back of the team, and they don't seem to have the slightest intention of taking the lead in charging into battle and killing the enemy bravely.
The group of soldiers at the forefront advanced in a neat phalanx at this time.
The first to advance were about a thousand heavily armored soldiers wearing chain mail and holding round shields. The round shield held by these soldiers resembles the famous Scottish round shield of the 16th century, although the two are slightly different, but they are generally the same.
Both feature a unique shield and bayonet design, making this defensive weapon, originally intended for hand-to-hand combat, even more aggressive.
It can not only take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to directly stab him in the vital point, but also when resisting the attack of the enemy's spear, broadsword and other weapons, use the bayonet protruding in the center of the shield to remove the opponent's sharp weapon, and then use the weapon in his right hand to wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Secondly, its design makes it more flexible and convenient to use. The diameter of the round shield is close to the length of the forearm of an adult's arm, and it is flexible to swing freely, coupled with the circular design, the area of its frontal protective body reaches the maximum, and the defensive hole is not easy to be caught by the opponent.
Although the light of the Scottish round shield only shone for a moment in the long history, the combination of offense and defense is enough to make it an eternal classic in history, and in this other world, I don't know who seized the highlight of this meteor and then invented a similar weapon.
What made Chopin, who had returned to the city wall to observe the situation outside, furrow slightly, was that even though they were wearing heavy armor, these warriors still maintained a dense formation between their walks.
On both sides and in the middle of the queue are more than 500 archers armed with strong bows and quivers, and because of their own need for flexibility, these archers are covered with light cloth armor such as leather, which ensures a certain amount of defense while not too much of the archers' physical strength, which is enough to maximize their flexibility and mobility.
At the bottom of the column are the dozen or so trebuchets.
Dozens of strong men took turns to push these large machines to conquer the city, and the huge wheels crushed the planks that were constantly being paved and slowly moved forward.
And once the thick walls are within range, these trebuchets transform into hideous and ruthless weapons of slaughter.
The stones that were fired by the trebuchet, even the legendary warriors would never dare to defend their edge, and as for ordinary soldiers, their bodies would be smashed into a ball of flesh in an instant.
In fact, in addition to the trebuchets, there were more than a dozen ballistas and other siege equipment.
And on the cutting line between the two groups of people, two figures riding fiery horses were also smiling and talking.
"This time, thank you Lord Conrad for sending troops to help wipe out the remnants of the Purple Rose family."
Roman tugged at the horse's rope and smiled and spoke to the rich old man beside him.
What was a little different from everyone in the audience was that the old man did not have any swords, guns and equipment, and he was not wearing defensive equipment such as armor, but a black gentleman's robe, with strands of gold inlaid in it, which embellished the whole dress with extraordinary grace and luxury.
The old man looks old, I am afraid that he is fifty or sixty years old, and a wisp of white silk has climbed up his temples at some point, but the whole person is full of energy, and at first glance he is a nobleman who has been respected for a long time.
"Since His Majesty Fordes has spoken out in person, where do I dare to disobey, Lord Roman, rest assured, it seems that the other party is just a bunch of small people, and it is estimated that there is no need for those elite soldiers under your command."
Conrad smiled and replied, no matter how he behaved, he looked extremely respectful.
However, what no one knows is that this old man with a smile on his face has already scolded the other party in his heart, and he naturally knows that the purpose of the other party's trip is nothing more than to beat himself for Fordes, let him know how to advance and retreat, and by the way, weaken the power in his hands.
Roman nodded, the other party didn't seem to send troops to harass him at all, and seemed to be determined to stick to the city wall.
Hearing that the other party had defeated Viscount Rare, he was still a little more or less vigilant in his heart, but at the moment, he was afraid that the other party had taken a shit luck.
However, Roman also did not let his soldiers rush forward at all, although the armies he was about to encounter were far less powerful than he imagined, but he would not take it lightly.
The best way is to let the soldiers under the old fox next to him test the water, who knows if the other party is deliberately showing weakness to the enemy?
Even though the other party was not as weak as he thought at this time, Roman could be sure that when his army set foot on this drifting island, the tragic end of the Purple Rose family was already doomed, at most it was only a matter of time.
Soon after the fierce collision between the two sides, the collision at sea also started......
