In the Tristram Kingdom, if you want to find 'waste' nobles, you can easily find a large group of them without looking very hard. However, if you want to find a 'waste' knight, I am afraid that the number of fingers in the entire kingdom may not be more than one person. For no other reason, the status of knights is not hereditary, but completely depends on the knights themselves to fight with a knife and a gun. If you want to become a knight, don't even think about it if you don't have a bit of strength.

The knights of the Serpent Knights, marching in front of the Manchado army, showed their strength as knights at this moment. The archers of the Prairly Army in the city kept shooting arrows in the direction of the Manchado army, but whenever an arrow approached the Manchado army, it was easily blocked by the knights of the Serpent Knights walking in front of the army. Even the arrows shot by the alchemy archers under the command of the Xuanyuan Adventure Group were intercepted by them wielding their weapons. The only difference is that these knights look indifferent when they intercept the arrows fired by ordinary soldiers, and their expressions are relaxed as if they are waving their hands casually. And when intercepting the arrows of the alchemy archers, they have to pay full attention, and even attach fighting energy to the weapon to enhance their power.

When the Serpent Knights joined the fray, the casualties inflicted by the Prairly Army's bows and arrows on the Manchado Army dropped dramatically. The accurate sniper arrows were all intercepted by the opponent, and even the rain of arrows that were fired were blocked by the opponent's knight or with a blade attached to the fighting spirit, or all of them were bounced off by the opponent's opening of the fighting qi shield, and they could not hurt the opponent at all. Led by these knights, Manchado's army soon came within thirty meters of the castle's walls, which was exactly the distance that Manchado's archers could counterattack the Prairie army in the city.

All of a sudden, countless arrows shuttled back and forth on the battlefield. Although at this distance, the knights of the besieging side could no longer completely block the defenders' attacks on the ordinary soldiers behind them, correspondingly, the soldiers of the Prairly Army in the city had to hide behind the battlements from time to time in order to avoid the arrows fired by the enemy troops below the city, and the attack efficiency was weakened more and more.

After sending their troops under the walls, the knights of the Serpent Knights did not immediately attack, but directed their soldiers to attack the city. The knights knew very well that the defenders of the city were still well armed, and if they took the lead in the attack at this time, they would only become a target and be set on fire by the opponent. Although as knights, they at least have the strength of mid-level warriors, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary soldiers who are several times their size, but anything can happen in a chaotic battle, so they can't be cautious. Therefore, as a cushion to consume the strength and armament of the defenders, it is still up to those ordinary soldiers to do this kind of thing by taking the lead in the city.

Seeing that the Manchado army was approaching the foot of the city wall, the fingers of Kasha's right hand holding the halberd couldn't help but tap lightly. This was not a surprise to her, but she was slightly surprised that her opponent, the Earl of Bilgard, had sent almost all of his forces to attack so quickly. However, at this time, the battle situation was changing rapidly, and Kasha could only suppress the doubts in his heart and devote himself to the battle with full attention.

"The archers keep shooting! The rest of the men change their melee weapons and defend their defensive positions! Kasha took a deep breath and shouted.

The soldiers of the Prairly Army had already been assigned their duties before the battle began, and those with better archery skills naturally took on the main duty of pouring fire, while the other soldiers were tasked with doing their best to prevent the enemy from climbing the walls. The knights of the Rogge Knights also dispersed to guard their positions, preparing to deal with the enemy knights in the enemy army who landed in the city.

The 100-strong team of the Manchado Army, which was the first to arrive under the city wall, had already raised the ladder in their hands and set it up on the city wall, and the two pulleys at the front of the ladder were rapidly rising against the wall. Soon, seven or eight ladders were erected along the outside of the walls. When the ladders reached the top of the wall, the soldiers of Manchado's army climbed up one by one.

As the besiegers began to storm the walls, the defenders fought back. The boiling water and stones that had been prepared for a long time were thrown at the city, which immediately caused the besiegers under the city to let out a miserable scream. The soldiers of the Manchado Army, who were the first to climb the ladder, were smashed head-on by a stone, and then fell down the ladder with their heads broken and bleeding, along with the others who followed them. Another soldier of the Manchado Army, who was standing under the city wall and was about to climb the ladder, cleverly dodged the falling stones, but was drenched by a large bucket of boiling water, and his face was suddenly burned with huge blisters, and the severe pain made him throw away his weapon and cover his face and wail loudly.

The archers of the Manchado army below the city focused their main attacks on the Prairian soldiers who were pouring stones down from the city. I saw a soldier of the Prairly Army leaning out of the city wall, and when he was about to drop the stone downward, two arrows hit him in the chest and the head, and the soldier who was killed by the arrow fell from the city wall with the stone he was holding in his hand. Ironically, however, the falling rocks only injured one Manchado soldier, while the bodies that fell with them wounded three Manchado soldiers.

However, as more ladders were erected, the consumption of stones and boiling water in the city increased rapidly, and the replenishment in the city began to gradually fail to keep up. Some of the Prairly soldiers turned to spears more than three meters long and poked vigorously at the place where the ladder had been erected, while trying to knock over the ladder. The soldiers of the Manchado army who climbed the ladder were not willing to sit still, and whenever the spear approached, they would wave their swords wildly in order to block the approaching spear.

"I'm afraid I won't last long if it goes on like this." Yang Qianyu commanded his alchemy archers and alchemy swordsmen to build a strong defensive line in the section of the city wall he defended, but his expression was not relieved in the slightest because the enemy could not enter the city from the area he had deployed.

"That's right." Li Xiang observed the entire battlefield and replied solemnly: "So far, the battle loss ratio here is at least five to one, while the Kasha one is about two to one. However, even if our alchemy soldiers are injured, as long as they are not injured on the bright side, they can rejoin the battle after being carried to the dark and blocking the injured area. And Kasha, the real casualties are one less. The Manchado army had far more troops than the Prairly army, and even if it was a countervail, it could exhaust the defenders. ”

"Those knights of the enemy knights did not move when they arrived at the city." Yang Qianyu glanced at the city.

"They plan to wait for the city's defensive equipment and garrison strength to be depleted before attacking." Li Xiang also looked over. "Judging by their numbers, they are a little more than the number of knights that Kasha currently commands. It seems that the other party has made a bloody ...... Belch?! Before Li Xiang, who was observing the movements of the enemy troops under the city, finished speaking, he felt a strong force tearing him backwards, and he was immediately dragged down on the city wall. At the same time, Li Xiang heard the whistling sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw several arrows flying past the battlements where he had probed before.

"I don't know if you're stupid or pretending to be stupid." Yang Qianyu dragged Li Xiang down, and then reached out to pull the other party up. "I took a look at it and quickly hid back. Is it fun to use the pestle as a target there? ”

"Hmph, even if I stand there and let him shoot, it's up to me whether the broken arrows they use can cause me to break my defense." Li Xiang stood up and patted his ass in reply, but he also took a few steps back to avoid the city wall.

"Hard-mouthed." Yang Qianyu sneered in a low voice and then said, "But those archers under the city are indeed a trouble. Without them, it would have been much easier for us to stop the enemy from entering the city. ”

"How about using alchemy archers to gather fire on them." Li Xiang asked.

Yang Qianyu looked at the position of the archer troops on the opposite side. "The attack range of the alchemy archers is fine, but the archers on the opposite side are covered by the enemy's mage fighters. Lao Li, you see-" Yang Qianyu said as he raised his finger and pointed. "See the two guys at the back of the archers phalanx, one fat and one thin, dressed in cloth robes and pointed hats? I'd seen both of them at the trebuchet position before. The water-based spell that blocked the fireball from bombarding the trebuchet must have been made by the two of them. ”

"Damn." Li Xiang pounded the wall with hatred. "Lao Xu and Song Fei's consumption is too great, and I am afraid that they will not be able to perform the Flame Rain and Blizzard in a short period of time. However, the strength of the 'Water Curtain Barrier' cast by the mage on the opposite side is not something that can be broken by an attack of ordinary strength. ”

"Indeed," Yang Qianyu nodded. "However, the opponent's water curtain barrier can only block ballistic long-range attacks. If it's a ranged attack with no ballistics, then they can't intercept it. ”

"You mean?" Li Xiang looked at Yang Qianyu.

"That's what I just thought." Yang Qianyu shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look away. "But someone has thought of it before me."
