Section 262 Duis Fortress (5)

The attackers and defenders seemed to be in perfect harmony, entering their respective positions almost at the same time, the sound of horns and war drums echoing over the battlefield, and the soldiers pursed their lips one by one to prepare for the battle---- many of them will not see the sunset today.

The first to enter the attack sequence is naturally the local legion, and Errign's purpose is to consume ---- use human lives to consume the materials of the fortress, at least to consume the morale and physical strength of the defenders.

The besieging force quickly approached the city walls and entered the range of the defending troops.

In the past few days of the truce, the defending troops have not been idle, they have built dozens of temporary arrow towers relying on the city walls, and the moon shadow has sent the longbowmen drawn from the local legions to the head of the city, and the defense of the city, long-range attacks are still the main force, if the melee combat begins, it means that the situation is already very critical.

Crossbows as dense as flying locusts were fired from the towers, and the black crush was stabbed at the attacking Fateh, while the catapults behind the walls whistled and threw thousands of stone projectiles.

Dense stone bullets overwhelmingly smashed on the bodies of the Fateh soldiers, those soldiers wearing iron armor were just glad that those crossbow arrows did not penetrate their iron armor, but the next moment they let out a painful wail---- although the stone bullets did not have penetrating power, but when they fell from a high altitude, the impact force was already several times their own, those iron armor were deformed under the dense rain of stone bullets, blood gushed out along the gaps in the iron armor, and the soldiers inside were not dead but also seriously injured.

And the soldiers wearing leather armor are even more miserable, the battlefield from time to time sounded crossbow bolts or stone bullets hit the ** pop sound, the battlefield wails all over the ground, those soldiers who were hit by arrows or stone bullets and did not die, painfully rolled on the ground, the neat formation suddenly became a big mess, and the originally orderly advance team immediately scattered.

However, after several officers beheaded several soldiers in a row who were preparing to retreat. Once again, the Fateh soldiers formed an effective formation and approached the walls. More than a dozen siege ladders were carried at the forefront by hundreds of Fateh soldiers.

However, they were still greeted by a dense rain of arrows, and there was plenty of supplies in the fortress, so there was no shortage of arrows at all, and the quartermaster of the empire was still very conscientious, and the only regret that Moon Shadow regretted was that the crossbow of the giant crossbow was missing in the fortress warehouse---- and the giant crossbow defending the city was transported to Treston, so in today's battle, she did not use eight crossbows at all.

The first to bear the brunt were the soldiers who carried the ladders. They were lucky enough to be the first artificial hedgehogs, and their bodies were full of arrows, and all the soldiers who tried to approach those cloud ladders were dressed as human skewers without exception, which made the follow-up soldiers hesitate--- without a cloud ladder, let them climb the city wall dozens of meters high?

"Bastard! And what about our archers? And what about our catapults? ”

The regiment commander in charge of the attack jumped to his feet and scolded, with indescribable grievances in his heart: cannon fodder also has human rights. At least there should be long-range cover, right?

Errigun watched the siege troops fall one by one, but his face did not move, for a commander, casualties were just a number. Soldier, he pursues only one goal, and that is to ---- victory.

"Archers enter the attacking position!"

He whispered to the adjutant next to him.

The adjutant immediately stood up from his horse. Swiftly striking the flag, the longbowmen quickly left the sequence and entered the attacking position, they quickly and orderly propped their longbows on the ground, the arrows were drawn from the quiver in handfuls, and the arrows rushed up and inserted in turn, and at the same time, they already held a feathered arrow in their hands.

"Prepare ---- shot!"

The longbowman commander gave a sonorous command, and a piercing whistling sound rang out. Immediately above the city wall, a black crushing ground feather arrow appeared. The longbowmen had a feathered arrow in their right hand. Thousands of shining clusters of arrows pointed at the blue sky again.

Just as those arrows landed on the walls, a result appeared that surprised everyone on the battlefield----

A silver mist rose from the wall, covering the area that was the focus of the longbowmen, and the falling feathered arrows fell into the fog and disappeared, causing no damage to the defending soldiers, only some soldiers who happened to be outside the fog were not seriously injured---- they were slower to raise their shields, and only protected important parts.

There was a sudden silence on the battlefield, including those who were preparing to attack the city walls as they approached the wall.

After a long time, a deafening cheer erupted from the walls, and the soldiers rightfully regarded the result as the effect of the lord's magic.

And in the phathic military formation, Errigon and the two dragon knights looked dumbfounded---- what kind of magic is this? Isn't it the Grand Magus who has joined the war?

In fact, it was indeed not magic, but the use of silver sharks by Moon Shadow on a whim

However, although the use of silver shark nets can protect a large area, it is not possible to use it for a long time----

First, the true element consumed is too huge. Although her True Yuan is profound, the thousands of people who have single-handedly protected the entire city wall have consumed dozens of times more True Yuan;

Second, the defense is reduced. Although the silver shark net is a multi-person defense magic weapon, but the force is scattered, the more people are protected, the more scattered the defense power, and at the same time, the consumption of true yuan is also huge, which is simply a vicious circle.

The day's assault seemed less intense than the day before, and after throwing thousands of corpses, Errigun ended the battle with a gloomy face, and he didn't try to test that with his longbowmen

The bottom line of defending against magic, after all, it takes a lot of courage to engage an enemy who is suspected of being an archmage.

Back at the camp, Errigun immediately called a meeting of the generals. These soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, and their knowledge is no worse than his, and immediately someone asked the same question--- Is there a great mage in the fortress?

If this news is allowed to spread in the camp, the impact on the morale of the army will be very serious. However, Errigon did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically; "If there really is an archmage in the war, why doesn't he release his attack magic?"

"Perhaps...... He must have some scruples. The general said in a slurch.

Errigern shook his head: "Now that you have joined the war, what scruples can you have. ”

Hosenberg replied very cooperatively: "Yes, if they really have the Great Magus in the battle, they will never let us retreat safely, in my opinion, it is just a defensive alchemy equipment at best." ”

Not to mention, he is really capable, but with the alchemy level of the Amadeus Continent, he can't refine such anti-heaven equipment, which is not what he knows.

However, those generals didn't quite agree---- when did such a good defensive magic equipment appear on the continent? I'm afraid the artifact is nothing more than that.

However, the generals all know that if they continue to study this issue, I am afraid that the battle is not over yet, and the morale of the army is out of control, and the next discussion will focus on how to conquer the fortress......

And in the fortress, Moon Shadow and the others also held a pre-battle meeting in the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion...... That's right, it's the pre-war meeting, which was proposed by Lunaris after coming down from the city walls.

After listening to Moon Shadow's advice, several commanders turned into crocodiles---- their mouths opened so that they could see their back molars clearly.

"Count Alice, you're not kidding, are you?"

After a while, Hammit asked. "Certainly not kidding."

Moon Shadow was indeed tired of this kind of tug-of-war, and she continued, "There is information that the Prince Scott of the Fatet Empire seems to have suffered a crisis of confidence, which is why that Errigon will become the commander of the front, which has also caused their forces to be dispersed, and we must take the initiative to attack and eliminate one of them before the enemy can correct this mistake." ”

Count Andrassy and Hammett showed a wry smile at each other, and then said: "Count Alice, although the combat effectiveness of your Earth Dragon Knight Brigade and Wyvern Knight Brigade is undoubted, but the problem now is the number, the Fatts have more than 100,000 troops in front of the fortress, which is several times that of our army, and it is already very reluctant to be able to hold the fortress." ”

"Oh---- so you're worried about the number of people."

Moon Shadow elongated her voice as she suddenly realized, and the other people rolled their eyes and despised her fiercely in their hearts.

"Hehe, you've probably forgotten that my teacher is Archmagister Arisandra." Moon Shadow smirked.

So what? You're not an archmagister after all!

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, Count Andrassy suddenly woke up: "Necromancy! Count Alice, you're going to use necromancy? ”

"What? Comments? ”

Moon Shadow's little face was slightly raised, and she looked proud. Comparing the number with necromancers on the battlefield is looking for death.

"But how many undead warriors can you summon?" Count Andrassy asked cautiously.

Several? Moon Shadow is so angry that she decides to end the topic.

“…… All in all, in the second half of the night, our army will attack, and the commanders of all units are requested to cooperate! ”

Moon Shadow finished speaking as if she were making a final statement, and hurried out of the way, lest she get mad at these guys.
