Section 8 Fierce Warfare

In the face of such a straightforward rebuttal from the other party, Qin Feng was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now his division had less than 10,000 remnants left, and this time the insistence on Billington was certainly a matter of life and death for the Principality of Gerook, and how could he and the remnants of his subordinates not be grasshoppers tied to the same rope as them?

"Well, General Balins, your words are indeed very reasonable, but with Miley's old spice, he is here to put such a stand, what is the purpose? Could it be that he is attacking three sides to force us to withdraw from Merrington from the east, and then take the opportunity to annihilate us in one fell swoop?" Qin Feng's mouth swept a hint of imperceptible sneering smile, but he was silent on the surface, and the tone of his words was also extremely sincere.
"Well, I can't figure this out for a while, is it just a trick to confuse us?But what does it do?" Balins was also puzzled, the other party was one of the two famous military commanders of the Kaman Empire, and he was known for his sophistication and calmness, so it was impossible to put it here for no reason, "But I can conclude that at least our west must be the enemy's key attack direction, and no matter how much they hide it, they can't hide the heavy troops they have deployed here." ”
"Then according to the general's opinion, how should we deal with it now?" Qin Feng didn't say much, after all, he was still standing on the same broken boat, and if the ship sank, he would drown himself together.
I also felt that my tone of words just now was a little too heavy, the other party was still a guest, or came to help defend his country, not to mention that what the other party said was not unreasonable, Mailey is not a person who has lost his name, it would be too cost-effective to really catch himself off guard, Balins said with a deep groan: " General Qin, I judge that the main offensive direction of the Kaman army is not in the east and west directions, and especially the west is the most likely, but the east is as you said, it must not be guarded, you think this will not work, we have deployed 3,000 troops to monitor the north and south, and we can completely deal with the enemy's feints, in order to prevent the enemy's tricks in the east, I would like to ask you and your division to be responsible for the defense of the east, if you find any abnormal dynamics, please notify me immediately, I will be in charge of the defense of the west for the time being, what do you think?"
"Alright, so be it, I will immediately order my subordinates to take over the defense of the east gate, and if there is anything abnormal, I will notify you as soon as possible. Seeing that the other party still accepted his opinion, Qin Feng felt a sense of relief in his heart, at least the other party still respected him, Qin Feng accepted the task happily, saluted and left.
"My lord, do you really think that it will be possible for the Kamans to launch a main attack from the east?" Seeing Qin Feng go away, the Gerlok officer, who had been beside him and had not spoken, asked in a low voice.
"I don't think it's possible, but if he brings it up, he can't be guarded, so let him defend the east, but I doubt that the remnants of his army are defeated, and now the morale is low, I think it's enough to take on the minimum responsibility, you arrange a thousand-man team to be responsible for monitoring and responding. Balins was clearly not at ease with this force, and in his opinion a defeated army might not be able to match the combat effectiveness of a local garrison without a rigorous purge.
"Well, I see, General. The officer replied and immediately went to arrange for the deployment.
With the dull beating of war drums, the various battle formations that had been standing swell like boiling water, the infantry formations began to slowly disperse, revealing gaps, the cavalry formations did not move, and the officers commanding the various equipment were already in place and quickly issued orders.
Groups of catapults, motorized arrow towers, and bed ballistas began to start, and slowly advanced towards the city wall, and before the long-range strike weapons were the shield soldiers and some soldiers holding a curtain that resembled something like a tent, these things that resembled the curtain seemed to be made of leather, square in shape, and the four corners were supported by huge poles, the bottom of which could be directly supported by people or fixed by pulleys, low in front and high in the back, erected enough to shield a considerable area from the opponent's long-range weapons such as catapults, The attack of crossbow arrows, which was also a protective tool from the Western Continent (Note 1), was also the first time that the Kaman army had used this new type of weapon in actual combat.
Dozens of huge leather bodies are lined up. The gap in the middle was filled by the Turrets, who quickly formed a massive moving wall, while the Moving Arrow Towers followed only behind the massive leather towers, revealing only the high upper attack parts. The cavalry and infantry phalanxes also began to move, choosing the right positions and ready to deal a heavy blow to the enemy who tried to attack their own auxiliary forces, which lacked the ability to defend themselves.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Balins gasped, it was simply a moving city wall, so wouldn't the effectiveness of all kinds of long-range strike weapons deployed on the city wall be greatly reduced? And the opponent's arrow tower, bed ballista and other powerful weapons can still exert their power, and they will also pose a huge threat to the soldiers guarding the city wall on their side.
Without seeing the opponent's ladder and rushing cart, Balins knew that the opponent's purpose would first be to coil the wide, deep and long moat under the city wall, and if he did not fill this moat, the enemy would not be able to make much substantial attack, and he must also use this moat to hit the opponent hard, frustrate the opponent's spirit, and prepare for more difficult battles to defend the city in the future.
For the opponent's new type of attack weapon, Balins has long estimated, after all, the other party is a powerful empire, as a weak neighbor can not take any precautions, the intelligence department has long been through various channels to obtain some information, although not complete and accurate, but more or less can make the military prepared.
"Order the rocket to prepare, and the trebuchet to replace it with thistle!" calmed down a little, and Balins immediately gave the order.
The moving leather banner was like a wave of black flood slowly surging towards the city wall, the leather banner was divided into several columns, forming a cascade defense line, and the dense soldiers shouted and roared, and began to speed up their running, pushing all kinds of wheelbarrows with all their might, filled with large stones and sandbags and following closely behind the leather banner, the goal was very clear, that is, to put the materials in the car into the moat as quickly as possible, so that the moat was passed.
Seeing that the enemy slowly entered the attack range, Balins looked cold, staring motionlessly at the position where the faces of the opposing soldiers could almost be seen, and one hand was subconsciously clenched into a fist, and the enemy was in front of him, just waiting for his final order.
As two words burst out between the coach's teeth: "Ready!" The flag officer next to him immediately raised the command flag in his hand. A strange creaking sound suddenly sounded in the hidden forts, battlements, and arrow holes all over the city wall, which was the wire machine spring of the catapult and the ballista that began to twist into the state of imminent launch, and the rows of archers also had their luck, and the iron bow pointing forward was immediately full, and the soldiers who were staring at the same action were full of energy, and the brightly colored armor and brocade robes shone in the warm sun, forming a beautiful landscape on the city wall.
Seeing that although the subordinates trained by his own hands faced a strong enemy, there was no abnormal performance at all, the calm momentum, and the clean and neat actions all made Balins feel both relieved and a little sad, the enemy is not weak, maybe after this vicious battle, I don't know how many of my sons and daughters can see the faces of their wives and children, a touch of unspeakable sadness quietly swept through Balins's heart, making Balins's heart sour, but the cruel reality can no longer allow him to have any thoughts of children, only to give the enemy the most violent blow, so that the invader will pay a thousand times the price, may be the last glimmer of hope for the city where he was born and raised.
The words "Attack begins!" seemed to burst out from Balins's chest, and the flag in the flag officer's hand also waved down with a roar, and the fiery red battle flag stirred up gusts of wind with the powerful wave, indicating that an extremely difficult offensive and defensive battle had begun.
The heralds who received the order and were in charge of the command of the various departments all shouted loudly and angrily at the first time to issue the attack order, "quack", "whoosh", "buzz", all kinds of sounds suddenly filled the entire city, and in an instant, it seemed that even the city head shook and trembled violently, and a burst of dark clouds mixed with pieces of hail poured like a storm towards the group of Kaman soldiers who were already approaching the moat under the city wall.
Although the Kaman army under the city wall has already formed the most rigorous defense system, especially the skin that covers the sky and covers most of the attacking soldiers, but any defense area can not be perfect, through the gap between the skin and the shield, the crossbow arrows with huge impact can even pierce several soldiers, and the archers have chosen to strike the interval between each layer of skin also brought considerable losses to the Kaman soldiers who only cared about pushing the cart forward without other protective equipment.
And the giant thistle terrestris that falls from the sky is a powerful weapon against the skin, the surface of the thistle terrestris is covered with sharp spikes and barbs, each thistle terrestris falls on the skin will be pierced all over the body, and the barb on the spike is to cut the surface of the strong skin to pieces, only a few of this specially designed for the skin is a good skin will completely lose its protective function, and the soldiers who hide behind the defenseless have become the best targets for the archers and crossbow archers on the city wall.
One after another, the soldiers slumped under the wheels, their bodies crooked, their bright red blood even soaking the ground under the wheels, and the terrible screams of the desperate struggles made people feel as if they were in the darkest Shura field in hell. Occasionally, the whistling thistle directly hit a hapless soldier, and the huge blow force even directly smashed the entire soldier into meat sauce, and the flesh blurred limbs mixed with the soil and blood, and the extremely terrifying scene was enough to immerse the Kaman soldiers participating in the siege battle in a nightmare for life.
