Chapter 53: The Battle of Yoder (I)

The Belu people seem to have become numb to the sacrifice of their comrades, and the prestige of the Second Legion is not only poured with the blood and tears of the enemy, but also buried the corpses of countless Belu people!

These corpses that rolled down into the moat naturally became part of the water that filled the river, and the Belu cavalry who followed behind did not hesitate at all, and quickly pressed the bodies of their former companions under the water with sandbags.

I have to say that the cavalry of the Second Legion is definitely worthy of the title of elite, in the face of the crossbow arrows thrown from the battlements, although many knights lost their lives for this, but the overall formation was not scattered at all, as long as the sandbags were thrown into the moat, they immediately spread out to the two wings, so that the troops behind could follow.

The scale of the attack on the towers of Yoder Town was not small, but they could only watch as the sandbags piled up on the moat increased little by little.

At this time, Meria also walked up to the battlements, but judging by his pale face, the knight was not in such a good state.

However, Meria's appearance still caused a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the castle tower, and in any case, Meria also fought a knightly duel with the Belu people, and killed two heroes of the Belu Knights.

"Meria, you'd better go and get some rest. Ron couldn't help but say.

Meria's breath trembled, "Do you think I can rest now? ”

"Ron, do you have any good ideas?" Meria asked, "the enemy will be able to cross the river soon." ”

"Explosives packs and this kind of thing must be used when the enemy is crowded. Ron said in a deep voice: "I remember when I was in Hamp City, the enemy used alternate attacks of trebuchets, crossbows and magicians to directly attack the city, but now it seems that the large crossbows and siege equipment have not been brought, we just need to be careful of possible magician attacks." ”

"After their knights have completed the filling of the river, the first to cross the river will definitely be their infantry, and we just need to wait for them to reach the city and attack with explosives packs. ”

"Meria, Saiana, not only that, but we also need to be prepared for street battles with the enemy. Ron pointed to the army on the plains: "The enemy's army can exert its strongest combat power on the plains, but if the battlefield is changed to the streets of the city, the enemy will be like entering a quagmire, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." ”

In the previous life, there were also many battles that relied on street fighting to turn the tide of battle. And they also have gunpowder, a strategic weapon that can also play an important role in street fighting.

"My lord, the operation of the cavalry unit has been completed. A smile finally appeared on Williams' face, and their second legion was undoubtedly better at destroying cities than knight duels.

"Very well, the infantry unit crosses the river directly, the archers take cover in the back, and set up the ladder!" Lampard folded his arms around his chest: "But so far, this town of Yode has not shown anything special. ”

"Yes, they don't even have a slightly decent fortifications, not even a large crossbow to defend the city. Williams laughed, "Otherwise, our soldiers will have big casualties." ”

"Step by step, but the knight from before, try to capture him alive! His identity is definitely not simple. Lampard snorted: "Even if we don't draw out the main force of the Noahs, it's not bad to have such a gain." ”

While Lampard and Williams were talking, the Second Army on the front line had begun to cross the river from sandbags piled up on the moat. They were all elite soldiers who had followed the Second Army in many siege battles, and they did not need the guidance and shouting of the commander at all.

Not only the moat, but also the only bridge leading to the city gates, was the target of the Second Army's attack.

The siege troops of the Second Legion, at the front of the line, were all soldiers with shields, each shield soldier was followed by a soldier with a bow and arrow, two different types of troops alternated with each other, neatly arranged in any part of the team, and near the middle of the line, many soldiers with shields surrounded a large number of soldiers carrying ladders in the middle, as long as the ladders were erected, the battle to break through the town of Yod was half completed.

The battlements of Yode Town are already full of combat materials at this moment, due to the relationship between the transport teams and the material resources for combat just now, the stock of Yode Town is quite a lot, and the soldiers of the city defense army in charge of logistics continue to transport crossbow arrows to the battlements, not only that, but the most important weapons in Yode Town, throwing arms and explosives bags, have been transported to the battlements.

Ron could even feel his heartbeat getting more and more intense, and in the next few minutes, his fate in the other world would be decided.

"Ignition!" Ron muttered.

The soldiers of the city defense army placed the explosive bag on the firing device of the throwing arm, and the torch prepared in advance lit the fuse of the explosive bag.

"Boom!"

Suddenly a dull thunder sounded in the sky, and the dark clouds quickly spread across the sky, and the rain fell from the sky little by little.

"Launch!"

With Ron's order, all the throwing arms immediately threw the heavy explosive bag out, and landed accurately in the crowd below the city.

The soldiers of the Second Legion who were besieging the city naturally saw the explosive bags falling from the sky, and they originally thought that the people of Yode Town would throw boulders or logs from the battlements, but they didn't expect it to be such a harmless thing for humans and animals. Compared to this kind of thing, they should be more wary of crossbow arrows falling from the sky.

The explosive packets that were thrown down in the first round were quickly overwhelmed by the tide of Belu soldiers. Not a single soldier noticed that the fuses on the explosives pack were getting shorter and shorter.

"Boom, boom!"

The city guards on the battlements of Yode Town subconsciously covered their ears with their hands, and the explosion that occurred at such a close distance was far louder and terrifying than the thunder of nature, and they could even feel the air waves blowing up from the cracks in the battlements.

At the center of the explosive packet explosion, all the Belu soldiers, both their bodies and their weapons, were torn to shreds by the energy of the explosion, and the huge blast gas wave, like a turbulent lake, was full of suffocating power. The broken limbs of the personnel also flew to the walls of Yoder Town, and many of them hit the inside of the city walls, making a crackling sound, and then slowly fell down the smooth city walls, leaving dense blood marks on the city walls.
