Section 9 Fierce War 2
readx;
With each shout, a rain of arrows and thistles poured down from the walls of the defending side, and the soldiers who had lost the protection of their skin shields howled and screamed under the blows of the rain of arrows, ran to dodge, and even disrupted the walking pace of their comrades. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but entering the hell of the enemy's best strike zone, it is not easy to dodge, and the exposed flaws are like a fast magnet, firmly attracting the enemy's attack point. Each crack of the leather panel would inevitably lead to a frenzied rain of arrows, and the entire position was thrown into chaos, and the attacker's layout was disrupted.
Standing on the high mound and watching the battle situation coldly, Coach Carman Miley had silver hair like snow, the warm breeze gently brushed the silver hair on his head, his arms were folded, and his face was as calm as if he was looking at a beautiful *.
"Marshal, the enemy's thistle terrestris is extremely lethal to our skin, resulting in large losses among the soldiers, and there is some confusion in the front, we ......" An adjutant glanced at the few silent corps leaders behind the commander and quietly stepped forward.
"Order the catapult and bed ballista to push forward, focusing on the opponent's catapult area, move the arrow tower closer, suppress the opponent's archers, and order the catapult to be appropriately equipped with oil bottles to attack, and the arrow tower archers cooperate, focusing on the opponent's catapult. Miley was so calm that he even moved his gaze from the front.
"Yes, sir. The adjutant quickly replied.
"Order the front-line commander to organize on the spot, protect the shield soldiers, be sure to complete the task, and not retreat from the battle, and violators of the order will be executed on the spot without asking for instructions. Miley's voice became even colder, and the adjutant who listened silently seemed to be stabbed by the cold wind coming from hell, and his sturdy body shrank a little.
After the adjutant's galloping figure disappeared from the hill, Miley withdrew his gaze from the front line, and with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked loudly: "What do you guys think? It seems that the Jerok people still have the power to fight, it seems that we are all underestimating each other." ”
The few people behind him didn't dare to intervene for a while. After glancing at each other, Count Dominic, the commander of the Seventh Corps of the Empire, who was the most senior, replied respectfully, he was promoted to earl by the empire for his excellent performance in the attack and defense of Jiayuguan, which was a rare honor among the imperial generals, which made him grateful and deepened his belief in serving the country.
"Marshal, although we defeated the combined forces of the Tang River and the Gerok in the Western Front Campaign, there seem to be only two field divisions of the Tang River people and a few army corps of the Teroks, they are the strongest royal janissary regiment and have come to suffer the loss of a single soldier, and now they rely on the fortified city, Merrington is the capital of the Gerok people, and the last hope for all of them. The trapped beasts are still fighting, they will definitely fight to the death, and we really can't take it lightly. Dominic was full of respect for the silver-haired old man in front of him, and he was not alone, even if he was surrounded by several colleagues.
"Oh, Dominic, you're still the same. It hasn't changed at all, old and serious, think twice, it seems that the Prime Minister, Old Nick and I have the same comments about you. Miley laughed out loud, not paying any attention to the unfavorable situation in front of him.
"However, there is some truth in what you say, the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, and now that they are cornered, they will definitely make a last ditch effort. I'm not worried that we'll be able to take Merrington, but it's worth deliberating how to get rid of the Gerok people with minimal damage to our living forces. However, since it is a war, it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices, and it is probably not realistic to think of solving the city in front of you without blood. Miley glanced at the others and asked casually, "Hurley, what do you think?"
The one named by Miley was Viscount Hurley, the commander of the Fourth Imperial Corps. Although he was born into a great nobleman of the empire, he was an illegitimate son with no name and no share, and it was not until his father's deathbed that he reluctantly recognized his identity, and he was ashamed of this, refusing to recognize his own family, and was promoted to viscount by virtue of his tenacious perseverance and outstanding military exploits.
"Back to the marshal, what the Marquis of Dominic said is very reasonable. As the commander also said, the Gerok people still seem to be quite prepared, and as soon as our skin is used, the enemy will use the thistle terrestris against us, causing us huge casualties. I suspect that our internal secrets have been obtained by enemy spies, otherwise the enemy would not have been so well prepared, and the production of thistles is not something that can be done in a day or two. This also shows another point: the enemy may have made a fairly detailed study of us a long time ago, and had been prepared for it in advance, and I am afraid that our damage in this battle will not be small. The resolute man replied with a respectful salute.
"Well, Marshal, I also agree with the opinions of the two corps commanders, but I think that the factors that determine the outcome of the war are not those one or two new weapons, not to mention that although this thistle terrestris is a great threat to the skin, it is estimated that they do not have many reserves, and we are fully prepared. A lonely city, without reinforcements, will never last long, as long as we fill in the moat, I think their end is near. The next speaker was a young general-in-arms standing beside Hurley, his eyebrows were filled with eagerness, and although he agreed with the opinions of the two corps commanders in his initial words, he expressed his disagreement in the second half of the sentence.
"Hehe, the afterlife is terrifying, Torre is commendable. After a haha, Miley commented on the opinions of several people, making it unclear what he thought in his mind. Just when several people wanted to expect his opinion, he turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield has been improved under the strict supervision of the commander-in-chief, after all, it is a first-class military power, and the quality of the army can be fully displayed at this point, after the initial panic, under the full command and arrangement of the commanders, the mood of the soldiers quickly stabilized. The slug guards swarmed up to fill the gaps as much as they could, and the soldiers who were in the middle of the skin quickly pushed the second and third lines up to the first line in order to resist the rain of arrows and stones, and the soldiers in the carts regrouped and quickly advanced towards the moat in the established order.
At this time, the mobile arrow tower that received the order also began to rapidly advance in the direction of the city wall, and the bed ballista and catapult had also entered the range of the defender's long-range attack, and they also had the ability to attack the defenders on the city wall. After a period of hectic action, the powerful striking power of Kaman's side was revealed.
The catapult and the bed ballista were quickly put into shape after a few test shots, and although they were occasionally attacked by boulders falling overhead, this did not affect them much in the future. With every order given by the commander, the overwhelming stones, oil bottles, and crossbow arrows swept towards the wall like a hurricane, bringing a great impact to the defenders of the city, and many catapults placed at the head of the wall were either destroyed by boulders or hit by oil bottles, and the rockets tilted on the arrow tower followed like maggots attached to the bones, which immediately caused a large fire, not only burning a large number of catapults, but even affecting the nearby arrow holes and bunkers.
The raging fire burned wherever the oil flowed everywhere, and the fire demon frantically vented his power, seeing people burning people, seeing things burning, and even the desperate dark castle was hit by oil bombs in a row, causing a fire, and the soldiers in the entire dark fortress became a pile of charcoal in just a few minutes.
This tragic scene seriously affected the morale of the defending soldiers. Seeing some unfortunate soldiers being soaked in oil and entangled in flames, rolling and falling on the city wall but still unable to extinguish the flames, allowing the raging flames to scorch the flesh and blood on their bodies, the companions next to them could only watch helplessly, and they had to prevent their companions who had fallen into the abyss from injuring themselves at the last moment, the miserable screams were enough to make anyone present creep. As a last resort, the battlefield commanders had no choice but to tear their tears to kill the hopeless soldiers and push them off the city wall, their painful howls were indeed an extraordinary torture to the nerves of the other soldiers, and some soldiers even fell to their deaths due to the stimulation of this sound.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crossbowmen on the approaching mobile arrow tower also concentrated their forces to attack the enemy archers who were already in a state of chaos on the city wall at almost the same height, and the crossbow arrows erupted through the powerful torque power of the machine spring swept through like a wheat harvester, and the huge impact fiercely penetrated the soldiers' bodies, and the blood plasma and brain marrow were scattered and splattered, forming a strange bloody and fire battle scene. The defenseless archers were like a rainstorm that struck the load, and after a storm of wind and rain, only corpses in pools of blood and wounded soldiers screaming for help were left.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Balins's heart was like a knife, but the long-term battlefield had trained his nerves like iron. Although he did not expect the enemy to launch such a fierce attack as soon as he came up, he still looked as usual, while methodically ordering the soldiers who had been prepared to quickly extinguish the flames with sand, and on the other hand, he also ordered his archers to adjust the direction of attack and focus on the opponent's arrow tower with rockets.
This trick quickly worked, although coated with fireproof paint, but after all, it was made of wood, under the attack of round after round of rockets soaked in oil, several arrow towers were quickly ignited, igniting a raging fire, the huge and towering arrow tower became a fire kiln to buy human life, the narrow passage in the arrow tower made it impossible for the busy soldiers to escape, and the heart-rending shouts filled the entire battlefield, until the huge arrow tower that was burned down and turned the soldiers into ashes, this tragedy was over.
