The tactics of the defenders were effective, and the soldiers who quickly rushed up the walls were either assassinated at the head of the city or forced to jump off the wall by the shield wall.

But jumping one, two more climbed up, and a fierce battle began at the head of the city, and the lives and blood of the soldiers were squandered at this moment.

At the height of the battle, a pious prayer came from the rear of the Holy See army, and the result of hundreds of priests reciting in unison was that the sound was higher and higher, and it was warm in the hearts of people, as if there was a power to eliminate all strife in the world, and the feeling of the clash of blood and fire on the battlefield was completely different, revealing such an indescribable strangeness.

In the midst of the prayers, red, yellow, and white halos fell on the heads of the soldiers who rushed to the front line of the battlefield, and the light flashed around the human body a few times, and then seemed to merge into the soldier's body and disappear. But all the soldiers who were surrounded by light increased exponentially in strength, speed, and courage, so the offensive of the Holy See army became more fierce.

But at this time, a completely different feeling of chanting appeared, accompanied by the chanting sound of fireballs, ice spikes, lightning and other magic flew towards the array of attacking soldiers, as these were all primary magic, but there were many of them, so that the soldiers could not avoid it, and suddenly caused a large number of casualties.

"Attack the mage!" "The commander of the Holy See army immediately called for the crossbow to attack the mages on the city walls.

Humans have become smart since the beast-chasing war three hundred years ago, and not only do magicians hide behind battlements, but almost every magician is closely protected by a small squad of heavy infantry, and it is not easy to attack them.

Although the mental power of a mage is limited, the consumption of mental power by a mage with sufficient magic crystal replenishment is still very limited when using primary magic.

In this way, the attack of the Holy See army was once again suppressed.

The siege lasted about two hours, and the infantry, with the cooperation of long-range troops, fought repeatedly and fiercely for the city walls, but no matter how fierce the offensive of the Holy See army was, the defenders always cooperated in an orderly manner and held on.

Finally, the Papal army sounded the horn of retreat, and the attacking infantry, under the cover of archers and shields and long-range trebuchets, calmly retreated to their starting positions two miles away.

The Templar army then retreated two more miles before regrouping.

At this point, the battle of the day ended. In this first encounter, neither side did their best. The flying class did not appear, and the characters of the level of the Great Mage and the Great Swordsman did not make a move, so it can be said that this was just a test before the war, and they tried each other to further understand each other's tactics and strength.

Despite this, the number of casualties of the Knights Templar as the attacking side was close to 2,000, which was more than double the total number of casualties in the two battles outside Ibrahim, of which 1,000 were killed, accounting for half of the proportion, of which more than 80% were infantry, which shows the fierceness of the battle for the wall.

As the defender, the Higg army, although there were slightly fewer casualties, but also paid a heavy price, especially the trebuchet position in the city, due to the limited space and fixed position, was fatally hit by the trebuchet outside the city, nearly half of the trebuchets have been scrapped and cannot be used, and the remaining 20% still need to be repaired before they can continue to fight. The bed crossbows on the city walls were also 60 percent ineffective due to the Cyclops' attack, and these important defensive equipment were to a certain extent more important than the soldiers, and without their support, the Higg soldiers would inevitably face more pressure and sacrifice in tomorrow's battle.

Before nightfall, both sides of the war were calm, and smoke rose from the barracks outside the city, and a gust of wind blew, and the aroma of food wafted in the field, but the once fresh life of the fallen could no longer smell the fragrance.

The bodies of the fallen soldiers have been recovered by the troops of both sides, and huge fires have been lit inside and outside the city, and the bodies of the soldiers have been reduced to ashes in the fires, and in the end, there is no difference between soldiers and officers.

Faintly, bursts of prayer came from the camp of the Holy See troops, where the priests were praying for the souls of the dead to reach heaven soon, where there would be no guns and no bloodthirsty wars.

At this moment, in the dim night, a trace of sentimentality, a trace of serenity, poplar and willow, I don't know which soldier's homesick flute sounded.

In the early morning, the color of the morning glow seemed to be dyed red by the blood of the soldiers, and the vitality in the field had not yet been fully awakened, but the barracks were already busy.

After yesterday's preliminary confrontation, both sides of the war have a certain understanding of the strength of their opponents, and after some tactical adjustments and deployments, they have spent a peaceful night without sneak attacks, so at this time the armies of both sides have gathered enough strength and are waiting for the curtain of the big battle to open.

Before the sun came out, the archers of the Holy See army had already pushed the trebuchets to the established positions, and after yesterday's trebuchet attack, the Holy See army took advantage of the terrain to constantly adjust the position of the trebuchet positions to avoid the attacks in the city, so it had a great advantage, and most of the trebuchets were still able to operate. Today, these big guys, who can throw huge rocks hundreds of paces away, will be the first weapon to cover the infantry siege.

With the sound of a "grunt" of heavy objects rolling and a loud horn, the engineering vehicles once again set off from the array lined up by the Holy See troops, and as they had been yesterday, the engineering vehicles carrying guards and ladders protected the soldiers from breaking through the trebuchet attacks and rushing all the way to the moat. Strangely, the attacking trebuchets did not strike back at the first time today, and those towering gallows stood quietly at the rear of the battlefield, as if waiting for something.

However, this wait was not long, and when the engineering vehicles arrived at the moat and were busy building the springboard, the command immediately gave the order to attack

When the city walls were already crowded and the defenders were gathered, the trebuchets launched the first attack without warning, and more than a hundred black giants flew towards the city with a roar, followed by some of the trebuchets before they began to fire, this time more than twenty firebombs that flashed red.

"Enemy attack! Beware of flying rocks!" The scouts on the watchtower shouted while waving a signal flag, and the command headquarters that received the signal immediately sounded the horn of emergency warning.

The walls were in disarray, and the defenders sought cover to avoid the boulders.

However, the black missile smashed into the city wall, and it did not have the expected great power, it just cracked all at once, turning into a piece of shards, and at the same time, when it shattered, a lot of brown liquid burst out of it, and the city wall was splashed everywhere.
