Chapter 101: The Newborn Conqueror I
The town garrisoned by tens of thousands of Pioneer Alliance troops is still the same low earthen wall as before, but the stationed coalition troops rely on sufficient manpower to quickly reinforce a layer of stones on the earthen wall, leaving a gap between each stone block, ensuring that the archers on the earthen wall can shoot as much as they want and rely on the stones to cover themselves!
Even if the enemy rushes up, the temporarily reinforced stones will more or less create some obstacles for the enemy soldiers who cross the wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Liguo looked at the dense soldiers on the earthen wall, the small earthen wall naturally could not accommodate tens of thousands of coalition soldiers, so it was basically standing next to each other, with archers in the front row, hand-to-hand combat soldiers and spearmen in the back, and some elite ironclad soldiers in the middle!
Behind the earthen wall is a neatly lined reserve, the coalition forces have enough troops, and if the earthen wall is breached, the reserve will become a support force plus a warband! Don't let the enemy storm the city!
"General Ares, this time pull all the Spartan heavy infantry up, the archers and other first troops rushed up to cover the earthen wall, the legendary Spartan warriors should not participate in the battle first, there are many people on the opposite side, and the losses will be great at the beginning!"
Li Liguo said lightly to Ares.
After receiving the order, Ares went to the prepared soldiers of the Advance Army and encouraged them:
"Warriors under the eagle, a rich town guarded by a group of cowardly lord soldiers ahead, follow in the footsteps of the legendary Spartan warriors, storm the walls as you have done before, kill all the rebels, and have fun!"
The soldiers of the Pioneer Army, who had already tasted the sweetness of the siege war, were stimulated by Ares's words, these Pioneer soldiers had no sources, the scouts of the Spartan army were all served by Spartan soldiers, the confidentiality of the news was very good, the specific number of enemies and their own not very good form, only a few high-level leaders such as Li Liguo knew!
The soldiers of the first army thought that they were facing the same enemy as before, but with more archers......
Thousands of Pioneer soldiers shouted and rushed towards the earthen wall garrisoned by the Pioneer Alliance, and the commander of the Pioneer Alliance Coalition standing on the high place pointed at the high-morale Pioneer soldiers in surprise and asked, "Are you sure that the soldiers below mentioned by the scout are all composed of surrenderers?"
Do you mean that the surrendered soldiers who surrendered to Li Liguo all had the enthusiasm to fight for their original masters? ”
The general in charge of scouting next to him looked embarrassed for a moment, and said stubbornly: "This ...... Their discipline was very average, and we didn't expect their morale to be so high when they charged......"
The commander of the coalition army waved his hand irritably, and said to the other general: "Let the first reserve be ready and give me the top at any time, this battle is more difficult than imagined!" ”
The dense rain of arrows covered the charging soldiers of the first army, who had broken through several cities, and had long been accustomed to being shot by arrows during the siege, and most of the soldiers reflexively raised their shields above their heads to meet the rain of arrows, and the pace of the charge did not decrease in the slightest!
They all know that if you rush over earlier, you will shoot less than once!
Most of the shields of the soldiers of the first army are bronze round shields and wooden shields eliminated by the Spartan heavy infantry, and the efficiency of defending against arrows without a formation is very average, and the round shield with a diameter of one meter can not cover the whole body, so there are still many soldiers of the first army who fell on the road of the charge!
When the soldiers of the first army were injured by arrows, the archers under Li Liguo's command were also in place, standing within the range of the arrows, lined up in a loose line, leaving a huge gap around them, so that the melee soldiers behind could quickly rush over!
Bend the bow, set the arrow, aim, and shoot him!
Li Liguo's archers did not shoot accurately because the soldiers defending the city on the opposite side were covered by stones, but carried out accurate shots!
Projectiles are also possible, of course, but it's easy to accidentally injure allies who have already rushed under the dirt wall, so archers are strictly forbidden to throw!
The dense simple ladders are set up on the earthen wall, and the soldiers who ascend the army first can jump into the earthen wall for hand-to-hand combat as long as they climb a few meters, which is very convenient.
As soon as the ladder was built, the archers on the earthen wall retreated at the same time, revealing rows of sturdy soldiers holding huge stones, and smashed them down!
Obviously, the coalition forces were very well prepared, and even a lot of rolling logs were pushed off the earthen walls!
Every heavy object can be heard several screams of the soldiers of the first army, the soldiers of the first army brandished their swords, desperately rushed to the top, in their impression, these casualties are inevitable, as long as they climb the earthen wall, with the perverted hand-to-hand combat ability of the legendary Spartan warrior, their side will definitely win!
Well, definitely!
That's why the soldiers of the first army suffered heavy losses, but their morale did not drop!
Li Liguo didn't expect that these cannon fodder in his eyes were better than what he had in his impression, and he relied on human lives to pile them on the earthen wall!
"Let the Spartan heavy infantry rush forward, the first army is already fighting above the earthen wall, if it is repulsed, these cannon fodder soldiers who have lost their faith will definitely collapse!"
Li Liguo said to General Ares.
A loud horn sounded again, and the miserable soldiers of the Advance Army, who had climbed the city wall with hope but were also killed, heard the sound of the horn, and their eyes lit up, and the thought of retreating disappeared again, they knew that this was the horn of the general attack of the Spartan warriors!
The commander of the coalition army looked at the ironclad army that rushed up with steady steps, and knew that this was the real main force under Li Liguo!
"Send the most elite Great Swordsman up, and the new new force will also go up and replace it, the battle is so fierce, the soldiers on the earthen wall can't stop it for long......"
With the order of the commander of the coalition forces, the residents of the town watched in horror as a group of soldiers with bright armor and full of physical strength drove up the city wall, and after a while, a group of soldiers who were disheveled and did not have any formation staggered back, sat on the ground, and looked at the battle on the earthen wall with numb eyes!
The intensity of the battle was beyond the imagination of both the enemy and us, Li Liguo was surprised by the desperate strength of the soldiers of the first army, and the commander of the coalition army did not expect that his side would be inflicted such a large number of casualties in a short period of time!
The Spartan hoplites stepped on the ladder left behind by the first army, swarmed up the earthen wall, and collided head-on with the defenders' fresh army!
Li Liguo is not so kind-hearted, he withdrew the soldiers of the Pioneer Army who still had a lot of people left to cultivate, it didn't matter if the physical exertion was large, so many Pioneer soldiers were standing there, and it was good to share the pressure of the enemy with their lives!
