Chapter 83: The Third Line of Defense
"These siege equipment is nothing more than the Han army pushing these siege equipment under the city wall, and then using that long
Long wooden sticks to attack, standing on top of the city walls, those guys are just incompetent, what is made of this weapon
What does it do? The priest of the Dark Temple thought about it, and immediately came up with an agreement, looking at the one behind the trebuchet
A long wooden club, this Gundam is just right to attack the archers standing on the city walls
A bag-like device, that is, after hitting the city wall, directly trap the soldiers on the city wall and then pull it to
Under the city walls, what is the use of this siege weapon?
"Tell me to go down and ask the soldiers behind to prepare more oil and burn it when they get close." at
After saying how the trebuchet attacked, the priest immediately thought of a way to defend against them, as long as these were loaded
Approaching the city wall, they poured the oil directly and lit it. Just this attack weapon and that
Some of the military commanders frightened him, making him look down on those people even more.
"Sure enough, it's still a priest, I know a lot, and I can see at a glance what it's used for." The soldiers next to him,
They all know so much about their own gods, they are convinced to the end, just look at it and know the Han army
What are these weapons used for, I immediately thought of how to defend them.
"What are those Dark Temple people doing, are they crazy?" An officer of the Han army looked at the top of the city wall and constantly provoked him
The soldiers of our Dark Temple said that they didn't understand, didn't this group of guys look half-dead just now?
Why did he become passionate after a while, what kind of medicine is wrong, he smiled, and looked at the poor assembly in the back
Not many trebuchets.
"Let you laugh, wait a minute." The siege battalion officer of the Han army smiled, just like that, a perfect one
The misunderstanding was thus settled, and the Han army thought that the greeting of the Dark Temple was a provocation to them, and that of the Dark Temple
The defenders were happy that their priests had found a new weapon to crack the Han army.
"It seems that the morale in the dark temple opposite is also good, it seems that there is a master." Mu Chen looked at the one who was chanting
The soldiers of the Dark Temple, Mu Chen couldn't help but nod, he could inspire the soldiers in such a short time
's battle intent, this means alone is enough to make Mu Chen look at them, and at the same time, for the attack of the Han army,
Worried, it seemed that the commander on the opposite side was an old bird.
"Looks like we have an opponent." Even the tree spirit was very uneasy to watch, and at the same time, his heart began to wake up.
It seems that he really shouldn't underestimate any military commander and enemy, he will never be able to play with a single means
Come on.
"Tell the soldiers to be careful when attacking, don't be too aggressive, and attack the city into the city walls
Pay attention to the changes in the alert city, and be careful in being careful. Mu Chen also nodded at the dryad's words,
It seems that the previous practice of the Dark Temple pulling all the archers up the city wall was definitely prepared for the back hand it seems that he
You also need to be careful not to suffer losses in the early stages of victory.
"Report, the siege camp is ready, whether the general will start the attack." An officer of the siege battalion greeted the wood dust and trees
Ling said that after many hours of preparation, the soldiers of the siege camp were also ready, trebuchets
and other siege weapons have been assembled.
"Pass the order, start attacking immediately, and after half an hour of bombardment, start attacking and bombarding the city." Muchen thought
After thinking about it, after attacking the city wall for a while, he wanted to take a look at the command of the enemy army inside the city inside
What kind of routine is the genius going to play to them, he really wants to see.
"Yes, General." The officer quickly returned to his siege camp, and hundreds of trebuchets were pulled up one after another
The treeman in the face directly put a huge stone on it.
"Put." With the officer's order, hundreds of huge stones bombarded the city wall, the dark temple
The soldiers, looking at the flying stones, they were also full of disbelief, didn't they say that they were ready to approach the attack? How
It's a super long-range attack, and it's beyond the range of their crossbow bed.
"Hurry up and get out of the way, those things are flying this way." An archer of the Dark Temple, watching the stone fly towards him
When he came, he was very frightened, and quickly pushed away the people around him, he wanted to get out of here, or he would not bombard the stones
Under it, they couldn't even find a whole meat.
"Don't push me!" With the push of the soldiers, there were many soldiers standing on the edge of the city wall, and they didn't react at all,
Many people fell off the wall, and listening to the screams of the people who threw it down, the other soldiers also began to be very frightened, and chaos began
Slowly developed to the entire city wall, the priests and believers of the Dark Temple were also dumbfounded, they didn't know at all
The Tao deals with these things.
"Adjust the shooting, in the coming round." Because trebuchets don't have any sighting devices at all, they can only rely on constant shooting
The hit is then adjusted over, which improves the accuracy.
In addition to the first round, many stones did not hit the city wall at all, but people looked at other places to bombard
The city wall, looking at the teammates who were bombarded into flesh, looking at the blood and broken bodies, if it was directly bombarded to death, it would be okay
Okay, but there are some soldiers who just blow off the lower half of their bodies, and they don't die all at once, they keep coming
Holding his blood-stained hands, he kept putting them on his brother, hoping that they could save him, but every
When they tried to speak, it immediately turned into screams, the pain of even the toughest people in the world
You can also let him scream.
"We don't want to die." Many soldiers were given trebuchets to the attack, frightened to sit on the walls, they did not dare to move,
Because they don't know which direction a stone will bombard.
"Put." As the soldier watched the first shot, he immediately began to adjust the parameters, and then began to fire again
The accuracy was much higher this time, with a large number of trebuchets hitting the target and a large number of shattering walls
Fragments flew everywhere, and by the way, they also injured the other Dark Temple soldiers, which made the morale of the Dark Temple soldiers fast
Quickly began to fall, in addition to the Dark Temple's priests and believers, did not know how to deal with these things, they only
I can watch the morale of the soldiers continue to fall, and if this continues, it is estimated that it will be enough to defeat these guards in the next few rounds
The morale of the soldiers was gone, but the priests and believers also knew how terrible the morale was, but they couldn't do anything
They don't have this kind of experience at all, and in addition to their previous errors in judgment, they are even more hit
Hit the morale of the soldiers. "All of them, attack." Mu Chen looked at the soldiers of the Dark Temple that had been suppressed, and he immediately gave an order
It's just that he still doesn't understand what the enemy's backhand is, but now he doesn't have too many options
Either they consume time here, or they directly type out the intention of the Dark Temple, which is very clear
Xian Muchen chose the easiest way and directly punched out the intention of the Dark Temple.
"Forward." A group of Han soldiers quickly lined up in formation, and the soldiers in front of them held shields to cover themselves
The teammates behind them strode forward, and in front of them were tall tree people, and every time the tree man moved forward
Every step of the way can make the soldiers feel the ground under their feet shake the soldiers look at the tall tree people, they
I was also a little happy in my heart, how to say that with these big guys, their siege will undoubtedly become very simple.
"Damn, the Han army is attacking, hurry up and give me arrows to shoot back." A priest of the Dark Temple woke up in shock
Come, looking at the Han army and the tree people who had already launched a direct attack, he immediately shouted to refresh himself and was still hiding the Han army
Stone attack archers.
When a large number of archers heard the words of the priest, they set up their bows and arrows and began to return fire, and a large number of arrows flew quickly from the city walls
went out and shot at the advancing treemen, but the effect was much worse than they thought, and the treemen ignored it
Dropped some bows and arrows, or they casually slapped away the arrows that were shot at them, how to say that mosquitoes bite people
It hurts, but it's also very annoying, and with the blocking of the tree people, only a small number of arrows are fired at the Han army that is still advancing
Infantry, but with the shields held by the soldiers of the Han army, there is no way to inflict casualties on the Han army, or else
The arrow, which lost its strength, hit the heavy armor on the Han army, but did not cause any damage to the Han army at all.
"Damn, don't attack these damn treants, attack the infantry in the back." Another priest looked at the one that shot the tree man
The arrow, the tree man directly ignored it, or it would have been shot away casually, and it would be useless at all, which made him
's face was very ugly, and the person who had just begun to estimate the mistake was also them, thinking of the trebuchet's attack method
It's a close-range attack, but it's too late, and he doesn't have any good ideas, and the arrows have no way at all
Inflicting casualties on the treemen, he had no choice but to shift his target to the Han infantry who had been following the treemen.
With the priest's reminder, the other archers aimed at the Han infantry behind, and a large number of arrows were fired one after another
Going out, the Han infantry looked at the arrows that were shooting, and the soldiers behind them put their shields on the one in front
Above the soldiers' heads, the sound of a large number of arrows hitting their shields kept ringing in their ears, but the Dark Temple
The attack did not affect the attack of the Han soldiers at all, and they still firmly advanced towards their goal
Of course, a small number of Han infantry hit the vital point and fell helplessly on the way forward.
"Damn, crossbowmen attack." Mu Chen watched a few rounds, and at least hundreds of soldiers of the Han Army fell in the Dark Temple
Under the rain of arrows, in addition to the fact that the tree people were too tall, the trebuchets did not dare to attack at all, and made mistakes
Hit yourself on the head, you can only put the target in the city, and a large number of stones blast into the interior of the city, from time to time there is one
The buildings were blasted down by the stones, but they still couldn't suppress the enemy fire on the walls, adding trees
The men look big, but they are actually advancing a little faster than the infantry.
"Put." The crossbowmen, who were closely followed by the infantry, saw the opportunity and under the command of their respective officers, they rushed one after another
Let the sword and shield soldiers in front open the shield array, and a black rain of arrows shot directly at the city wall.
"Ahh The soldiers of the Dark Temple, who were not much prepared, were shot and fell, and some went straight from the city
The wall fell off and helplessly let out their own screams, with the attack of the crossbowmen of the Han army, they did not
Don't turn the target to the crossbowmen of the Han army.
"Shield Cover." The officer of the sword and shield guard looked at the Dark Temple archers who were ready to return fire, and immediately commanded their own
The soldiers took a quick step forward, their shields raised one after another, and the soldiers in front of them thrust their shields fiercely
on the ground, and quickly lowered his head a little, and the soldiers behind him quickly put their shields on his head.
As the shield array of the Han army's crossbowmen had just been completed, the rain of arrows from the Dark Temple was directly attacking, even if the Han army was afraid
They reacted quickly, but in the end, there were still some soldiers who hadn't reacted, or hadn't kept up
Dozens of soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, blood flowing from the soldiers' bodies, and the soldiers around them were one after another
stepped forward and pulled them down and handed them over to the medical guards in the back, whether they can survive or not depends on their fate, after
The soldiers on the front quickly filled the vacancy in that position.
"Oh no, the treants are attacking." Just as the archers of the Dark Temple were suppressing the crossbowmen of the Han army, the Tree People also left
When he got to the side of the city wall, he waved his huge palm and slapped it directly on the city wall, and a large number of dark temple archers did not
It was slapped into a pulp of flesh, or it was swept away directly by the tree man, and it fell directly down the city wall.
"Damn, hurry up and throw the oil away." The priest hurriedly commanded the soldiers on the city wall, only the previous Han army
The trebuchet had already destroyed most of the oil oil, and even the remaining oil was given to the Han army just now
The salvo of the crossbowmen also broke a lot.
However, the soldiers still found a small part of the fire oil that had not been destroyed, and took it one after another to light the flames
Throwing it at the attacking Treant outside, the flames quickly ignited the Treant as the oil jug shattered
The leaves, the ignition of the treeman began to roar, and the attack in his hand was a little faster, but with the second throw in the back
After dozens of oil pots, the flames ignited the whole body of the tree man, and the tree man helplessly slapped the enemy on the city wall
After a few strokes, he fell helplessly next to the city wall.
"Crossbowmen suppress the enemy's walls." Mu Chen looked at the tree man who was already covered in flames, and he was about to be a crossbowman
We suppressed the enemy soldiers on the city wall who were still preparing to throw fire oil, and for Mu Chen, the tree people were attacking
In terms of attack power, it is still very good in terms of defense, even if it is a strong crossbow that can shoot through heavy armor, there is none
The way to kill the tree man quickly, but the tree man is afraid of fire if he doesn't die, and basically the body is a death if he lights the flame
Road, now Mu Chen doesn't want the tree man to lose too much in this line of defense, he also wants to save a certain amount of strength
Carry out the final general attack, and now that all the enemy's ranged soldiers have been disrupted by the attack of the tree people,
There is simply no way to fire a salvo in a concentration, which means that the ranged soldiers of the Dark Temple have no way to suppress it
The ranged soldiers of the Han Army, this is also the reason why Mu Chen is relieved to let the crossbowmen attack, plus their arrows
I'm afraid that I will hit the Treant by mistake, but the damage to the Treant is very limited, or there is no damage at all. "The priest is not good, we have no oil." Just like the soldiers of the Dark Temple, it is hard to find one that can be fast
A quick and effective way to suppress the tree man, but suddenly found that the fire oil they had prepared was gone, and the soldier was helpless
I can only report to the priests, hoping that the priests can give them a feasible method.
"No, it's all gone, forget about retreating to the city, we will fight with the Han army." The priest of the Dark Temple looks
With the flames that had been subsided, I found that many soldiers had picked up the archers again, and they looked helplessly
The Han infantry outside the city walls attacked, but whenever they gathered, a huge one immediately appeared
The palm of his hand slapped them away, and it made them feel even more desperate, that is, they had no ability to suppress it at all, Han
The ranged soldiers who were attacking looked at the soldiers around them who had either been slapped away, or fell in the rain of arrows of the Han army
Soldiers, they could only smile bitterly.
For a moment they understood how ridiculous their original idea was, they had no experience in military command at all, but
However, because of the unhappiness of a few words, those military commanders were directly locked up one after another, resulting in the present
The soldiers were like a scattered sand, and with the addition of their previous errors of judgment and lack of preparation, they had already begun
Realizing that it is impossible for them to hold the city wall now, if they are still unwilling to put it on the wall, then
They had to keep dying more and more unnecessary soldiers inside, and now they had to retreat into the city
The Han army engaged in street warfare.
"Knock on the gates." The siege vehicles of the Han army, under the cover of the tree men and crossbowmen, can be regarded as safe
At the city gate, the officers of the Han army commanded the siege vehicles to attack, and the soldiers quickly pushed the siege vehicles and directly fiercely
crashed into the city gate, and the huge siege vehicle was pushed by hundreds of soldiers, and the impact of the city shook more than once, and the soldiers looked
With the city gate that was not damaged at all, they did not give up, but pushed the siege inside the siege vehicle hard
The hammer slammed into the city gate again.
"Han Jun, even if we die, we will definitely not let you have a good time." The priests looked at them with hideous faces and were still rushing
The Han soldiers who hit the city gate also glanced at the tree people who were still attacking the city wall, and they already knew it
Sooner or later, the city would be undefensible, but they had no intention of retreating, believing in the great darkness
The gods will see their efforts clearly, and they believe that the dark god will resurrect them.
Needless to say, in some cases, religious fanatics know that they are inferior to others, or they know it
In the case of a dead end, they still dare to sacrifice their lives for the gods they believe in, just for morale
In this regard, the army with crazy religious beliefs has an absolute advantage, because the army usually has it
A proportion of one's own casualties, when the death of a soldier reaches a certain point, the soldier will easily rout.
"The brothers rushed in and killed them all." It took less than ten minutes for the Dark Temple to retreat from the city wall, and the Han army was also the same
It was considered to have broken through the heavy city gates, and a large number of Han soldiers quickly pulled the siege vehicles aside, under the command of the officer,
A large number of Han soldiers rushed in one after another.
"Shield wall forward, don't be impulsive, push slowly." Mu Chen looked at the soldiers who had already rushed in through the city gate, and he was fast
He said to a herald next to him, and told him to chase after him quickly, and told the troops on the front line not to rush forward
When you get it, it's time to surround the enemy army, and that's troublesome.
Another reason, Mu Chen, is also very clear, the breach of the city gate and the city wall is only one part of the siege war, such as
If you encounter a low-morale army, under normal circumstances, you only need to break through the gates and walls, and the defenders in the city will be
Quickly lose the will to fight, but if you encounter an army with a strong will to fight, break through the walls and gates
It was just the beginning of a tragic war.
"Don't rush too far, everybody, march in formation, and watch out for the houses on the street." An officer of the Han army, watched
The calm streets, he knew very well, too calm meant that the killing machine was more at stake, and he immediately stopped it
The soldiers who wanted to attack in a skirmish line pulled them back one after another, formed a formation, and slowly pushed forward
Everyone's eyes kept sweeping over the houses around them, because no one wanted to be in the house on the street
Dozens of enemy soldiers suddenly jumped out of the face and suddenly launched an attack on themselves.
"Those guys in the siege camp have also destroyed the city too badly." A soldier looked at the side of the street and had already given a cast
The destruction of the trebuchets of the siege camp by the stone machine gave these soldiers a further understanding, and at the same time
I also felt lucky, knowing that the power of watching these stones falling from the sky is not small, as if one is in a hundred
A stone with a diameter of less than five centimeters can be thrown down on the upper floors of the building, and one can be easily killed directly, the weight of the stone
The amount of power combined with the belt that fell from the sky was undoubtedly very powerful.
"Beware of enemy attacks." Just when the soldiers began to slowly relax their vigilance, they followed the Han army at the front
The officer immediately reminded loudly, and immediately put the shield in front of him, and with the officer's reminder, the other
The soldiers who were still advancing quickly put their shields in front of them, and there were dozens of broken winds
The arrow that came struck the shield in front of him fiercely.
"There they are." The officer, based on his own experience, quickly found out that he was hiding in a trebuchet
Less than half of the house remained, dozens of archers and archers were seen, and they were still looking like they were shooting.
"Damn, rush up and kill them." The other soldiers had very ugly faces, if it weren't for their captain's quick reminder
In addition to the instinctive reaction that they have trained in the barracks, they are going to have more than a dozen brothers fall today
Here, how could they not be furious and shouting to kill them.
"Circular formation, we surround it." Before waiting for those soldiers to go to the trouble of those dozens of archers, ahead
The officer quickly gave a new order, and he knew very well that if the archers on the opposite side had no problem with their brains, they would be there
Before they left after the shooting, they could already represent the people who had them in the vicinity.
As soon as the soldiers lined up their formation, hundreds of soldiers from the dark temple rushed out from the corner of the street, and they took it one after another
With swords and spears, they charged at the Han soldiers who had surrounded them, but their hearts were right
This team of Han troops who can respond so quickly is also convinced, it seems that the strong reputation of the Han army is not their boasting at all.
came out, but the people themselves typed it, and it was just the Han army officer who commanded this team, and that one was the one
It can already be seen from military experience that he is definitely a character who came out of the sea of corpses and blood.
