Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Siege and Defense of Stan City
87_87410 Stan City, the city is ten meters high, and it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city in the entire Darius Kingdom, at this time, with the continuous war drums, the human troops slowly approached Stan City.
"Is it that hard? Isn't there something bad?" Twilight, standing in front of the Dreadnoughts, said to Dawn Farsmeti beside her.
"What's wrong?" Dawn Farsmeti asked casually.
Isn't that clear? Because of the hurry of the Darius troops, they didn't bring large siege equipment at all, although Stan City is not a dangerous fortress, but it is not so easy to fight without good siege equipment.
"Don't worry, New Sain and the prince have arrangements." Looking at Twilight, who was somewhat speechless, Dawn Farsmeti comforted.
As Twilight spoke to Dawn Farsmeti, the trumpet of the attack sounded, and the nine thousand Royal Guards leaned towards Stan City with their shields in hand.
Scattered bows and arrows were shot down from the city, and the royal guards raised their shields neatly to block the arrows falling from the sky, which was also due to the small number of orc archers.
Under these scattered rain of arrows, the Royal Guards came to the city of Stan, but just when the Guards wanted to set up a siege ladder, lightning arrows shot from the city, but it was the orc shaman in Stancheng who made a move, and suddenly the Royal Guards crackled and fell one after another.
However, because the Royal Guard is a soldier guarding the royal city, its own equipment is excellent, and its magic defense is also extremely high, and it is not much worse than the Hammer of Justice, so many of the Guards soldiers did not die after being knocked down by the oncoming lightning arrows, but only suffered some injuries, and when the pain and paralysis disappeared, they immediately stood up again.
At this time, I saw a large fireball with a diameter of three or four meters flying out from the rear of the royal guard, smashing into the orc shaman group at the head of the city who were casting spells, and the mages also took action.
Meanwhile, on the south side of the wall, a personal guard led by Count Driessen also attacked the city, while Dawn Farsmeti attacked from the north with Twilight's dreadnoughts and two thousand hammers of justice.
However, the casualties in the south and north were greater than those of the frontal attack, not only because the ordinary soldiers were not as well equipped as the Royal Guard, but also because the recruits and private units lacked sufficient combat experience, not to mention the lack of cooperation between them.
Over time, anyone could see that the east side of Stan City, that is, the front, was the main position of the attack, and the other two directions were just beating the side drums, but the first to make progress was the north side of Stan City, that is, where the Dreadnoughts were located.
It turned out that just when the orc generals were a little unimpressed by the attack of the dreadnought, the two thousand Hammers of Justice led by the double swordsman Divarrea suddenly attacked and captured a section of the city wall in one fell swoop, and then the occupied city wall area became larger and larger, and Twilight and others also climbed the north wall, and the orcs could not withstand the human troops led by the Hammer of Justice at all.
But at this time, a team of orcs escorted a large number of innocent human villagers to the wall, these villagers stood between the human soldiers and the orcs, seeing the original tragic fighting of these villagers, the sound of the original tragic battle suddenly lowered, and in the face of the kidnapped innocent villagers Twilight sighed secretly, he knew that this time the siege was going to fail, and it was true, in the face of innocent villagers, the Hammer of Justice and the Dreadnought Army could not do it at all, and finally they could only retreat from the city wall.
"Despicable!" Dawn Farsmeti couldn't help but explode at the scene on the city wall.
Threatening innocent villagers is a bit despicable, and Twilight wonders which orc is it, or is it the Great Chief?
Originally, New Sain and the others had planned to attract firepower head-on from the Royal Guard, and the Hammer of Justice suddenly used its strength from the north to take Stan City in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect it to succeed, but because of such a lever, it fell short.
Towards noon, New Sain Campero, Teglisa, Sonaka and others gathered together to listen to Di Valea's account of the north, and everyone was relatively speechless.
Then Driessen said, "If you want me to say that you should not withdraw, those villagers are dead and deserve to die, and they are loyal to the kingdom."
What he meant was that he shouldn't care about the lives of the villagers, and that the hammer of justice would not care about the lives of his own people.
This sentence aroused the dissatisfaction of many people present, although Driesson's words had some truth, but the occasion was wrong, just said that Tegrisa and Sonaka, as princes and princesses, how could they let their soldiers kill their own people, if this was spread, would Darius's hearts be scattered?
Looking at Drieson as he fires the map cannon on full screen, Twilight wishes that this thing would have tormented her to death sooner. Dawn Farsmeti turned to Twilight and asked, "You told me earlier that it was not good to forcibly attack Stan City, do you have any other ideas in mind?"
"Actually, we don't have to pay attention to Stancheng." Twilight speaks her mind.
"Ignore Stan City?" Dawn was a little surprised, and her voice couldn't help but be a little louder, causing New Sain and Teglisa to turn their heads to their side.
"We can bypass Stan City and go straight to Iroburg." Twilight said again.
"Superficial, bypassing Stan City, what about the supplies that Soth City has brought us? Wouldn't it all have to be cut off by the orcs. Driessen pulled up the hatred again.
"Do we have any supplies behind us?" Twilight asked rhetorically, most of the supplies from the Kingdom of Darry had already been transported to Stan City, but they happened to be cheaper than the orcs, and Twilight estimated that in addition to the supplies brought by the troops, Sostantine City would not be able to give much support at all now.
"It's because we don't have enough supplies that we have to take Stan City first." Teglisa said bluntly.
Hearing Teglisa's words, Twilight muttered, "There are only two ways to take Stan City now, and that is to send a highly skilled elite team to sneak into Stan City at night to open the gates, but in the face of the heavily guarded Stan City, this is too difficult, and according to my estimate, most of the supplies and food in Stan City have been transported to the main force of the Iroburg Orc army." Twilight tells her that Dawn Farsmeti had robbed some of the food and barrels of explosives that the orcs had sent to Iroburg.
"What about the second option?" New Sain asked.
"The second way is to bypass Stan City and go to Iroburg, I think the purpose of Stan City now is to delay us, if we bypass Stan City and hit their soft underbelly, I think the commander of Stan City will not watch us pass like this, he will definitely find a way to stop us, when the time comes, we can have an ambush, and then kill another horse to take Stan City, even if Stan City does not react, we can also cut off the connection between Stan City and the Orcs of Iroburg." Twilight said.
"Empty words, unashamed!" Drisen scoffs at Twilight's words.
Driesson's reaction, Twilight doesn't care, the main thing is whether New Sain-sensei and Prince Tegrisa can listen.
Tegrisa thought for a moment what Twilight had said, slapped the table in the middle of the bell and said, "That's a good idea, maybe you can give it a try."
As he spoke, Tegrisa looked at New Sain, asking for his opinion.
