Chapter 130: Breaking the City in the Early Morning
Early the next morning, the weather was clear and cloudless, southeast wind, light wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There was a noise of people coming from the camp of Richard the Lionheart of England outside Charrosburg, France, and the originally silent barracks seemed to come alive at dawn, and many sergeants began to get up in the sound of urging to prepare for the next attack.
A large number of military troops began to enter the assault position, some pushed the crashing car, some pushed the shield wall, and the archers under this cover, and then went forward to shoot arrows on the castle to cover it, which can really be called a rain of arrows.
The neatly covered shields of the rushing car were already overgrown with crossbows, and several large shield formations made of numerous triangular shields that were covering the rushing car and the archers in the rear were also full of crossbows, but the advance continued.
Under the cover of the archers' advance, there was a continuous rain of arrows shooting at the city wall, some were blocked by the city wall and flew around, some penetrated the female wall in the middle of the city wall and shot the battlements without killing the enemy and flew into the air on their own, and some really hurt the enemy in this covering shot, and shot the enemy down the city.
Don't look at the castle just sitting on a small gentle slope that is not too high, and don't look at the fact that even if the military camp is entrenched under the castle, this city does not have the ability to attack downward, even if Nagato has been burned for a day and a night yesterday, these people still do not have the ability to approach the city wall too quickly.
King Richard I's troops had already been cooking in the pot, and although they began to attack in the early morning, they failed to put real pressure on the French defenders who were still waiting to eat, and the battle continued.
The white-hot battle is helpless, maybe the defenders of this castle also know that today is the battle to break the city, so today's defense is much stronger than yesterday's defense, maybe if there is such a defense yesterday, even until sunset, don't want to set the city gate on fire.
The king, who didn't see the crossbow-wielding beauty and Numan Daryl in the attack camp, could only ride on a horse at the back of the troop camp and drive the entire archer army to suppress and shoot, this function was also his latest discovery, he could actually control the way his team attacked like a game of horse riding and slashing.
The only pity is that he only leads an archer army, and he can only choose two kinds of queue control similar to close and separate, and there are two combat commands for random shooting and salvo fire. But even this made Wang Jian feel very novel.
Only today did he understand what he meant by commanding the troops. Today's troop attrition is much greater than yesterday's, because the defensive strength on the city wall is far greater than yesterday's, and if it was yesterday, it would be able to command the troops reasonably. This is definitely not the case.
People were constantly being shot down at the top of the city, and those attacking the walls were also being shot down, and the siege cars were slowly advancing. In less than ten minutes, more than 30 soldiers were shot and killed, and the enemy's battle damage was increasing violently, and the situation was extremely dangerous. But the battle situation also developed towards his established route with the continuous advancement of the ramming rammer.
The enemy's arrows were pouring like water, and almost every step of the way needed to be blocked by a large shield and the tail of the crossbow inserted in the ground to ensure that the shield did not leave the ground too high, and the shield bearers in the back row would not trip over the arrows on the ground.
Under Wang Jian's control, the archers of the besieging side sometimes fired at random and accurately shot at the enemy of the probe, and sometimes they also carried out cluster shots like a pouring rain, carrying out a covering blow on the city's head, and Wang Jian even controlled them to shoot into the sky, so that the angle of the arrow formed a projectile angle and shot into the battlements on the city wall.
This kind of shooting, which constantly changes the rhythm, completely controls the situation of the war under its own rhythm. The enemy began to become unaccustomed to this attack, and did not know exactly when to start doing it downward, and the enemy's crossbowmen were completely pinned down by them.
The situation began to take on a one-sided approach, and the enemy's crossbowmen were unable to fire effectively at the besieging forces below. The speed of the siege troops' advance was greatly accelerated. While even engineering vehicles that are exposed to crossbow fire and protected by well-defended equipment can move forward normally, they will still injure those units exposed to shields.
The tragic attack continued, and the siege troops finally approached the city gate with the engineering vehicles, and the engineers shouted slogans and pulled up a whole huge log made of a huge log with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of ten meters, and began to use the huge inertia to make the sharp head of the bread steel in front of the huge punch hit the city gate.
Again and again, the thick wooden gate was constantly popping dust. The wooden steel gates were constantly knocked out of the pits, and the dull sound of impact stimulated the bloodiness of the besieging side and suppressed the momentum of the defenders.
The king, who had been with Richard the Lionheart, simply asked his attendants to lead his horse and stood beside the king with a bow, as he had already begun to attack the city gates. Inspired by the good form, King Richard began to fire his horse, storming the walls in the gaps between the storming carts and defensive shields.
Richard the Lionheart deliberately moved sideways in front of the walls, using the knight's shield on his left arm to attract the enemy's crossbowmen as the siege troops shouted for the king, and then left range when the shield was full of crossbows. This deliberate provocation made King Richard very happy, and he was shattered in the next impact with his moving gates.
The soldiers shouted for the sake of Scotland and began to storm the city gates, taking advantage of the great power of the storming vehicles to push the attack inside the city gates. This attack largely shattered the enemy's confidence, and the annoyance that had been suppressed on the city was heard, and the shouts of the city was broken, and the city was broken. Confidence in resistance was also lost.
At this time, Wang Jian has been sending Eddie with his two servant knights to follow King Richard the Lionheart to guard against the situation after the city is broken, and it is at this time that the enemy begins to have cooks to deliver soup and food to the city, Wang Jian has been using a bow and arrow to lead the movie protagonist sniper system's auxiliary aiming function to zoom in and aim at the city.
At this time, he saw clearly that it was not just a cook in the original plot of the movie that appeared on the city wall coming out of the earth. Rather, there were three figures dressed as cooks, two of whom were the crossbowman Daryl and the little beauty.
Wang simply commented on this situation and knew that the play meat was coming, so he glanced at Eddie and walked across the entire battle formation towards King Lionheart, the reason why he let people lead the horses of the two was because his and Eddie's combat methods were more suitable for foot combat, and also because the riding skills of the two were not good.
All three men on the wall shot three crossbows at Richard the Lionheart. (To be continued.) )
