Chapter 208: I'd rather be a Jade Marquis than a Barbarian King (Page 1/1)

The soldiers yearn for glory, the soldiers yearn for merit, and in the face of the encouragement of the commander, the soldiers raise their arms and shout, and then swarm up to conquer everything in front of them.

Unfold the military formation that has been practiced for an unknown number of times, raise the weapons in their hands, they are the most elite soldiers in the whole world, and nothing in the world can stand in front of them.

The sword and shield men lined up in front, the crossbowmen hid behind the sword and shield men, and the pikemen lined up at the front, their spears pointing at the city wall in the distance.

"Boom!"

The sword and shield soldier slammed the shield in his hand to the ground, and then the whole person was half-kneeling on the ground, and the pikemen in front of him did the same, and then countless arrows shot out of their heads.

At the beginning of the war, it was always the crossbowmen who carried out the first round of attacks, which was almost the practice of the entire Labrale world.

Especially for siege warfare, it is extremely important for crossbowmen to gain the upper hand in the battle.

As long as the crossbowmen were able to suppress the guards above the city during the fire, the soldiers who were going to fight the city would be able to break through the city with fewer casualties.

Ander's family has been in the army for generations, and his father was an officer in the Empire, so Ander still has some understanding of such a small and fortified war fortress-style attack in front of him.

"War is a bloody battle, and the difference is only who sheds more blood. Ander gently pressed the long sword at his waist and said coldly.

Then he strode towards the battle, and in this battle, he will personally lead the charge!

A battle of 1,000 people, or this most boring siege battle, there is no so-called strategy problem at all, all the two sides can do is a violent collision.

As long as the soldiers under the command of Andel can be more brave than the soldiers of the other party, this battle is almost hand-to-hand.

As a quasi-silver rank powerhouse, Ander is also a relatively powerful group of people among the thousands of people, so he naturally has to take the lead in charging into battle, as long as he can fight to the death on the battlefield and not retreat, the soldiers will naturally move forward bravely.

......

"Arrows!"

......

"Adjust the angle!"

......

"Shoot!"

......

With Ander's words, rows of arrows headed towards the city wall, sticking heavily into the wall, and the feathers of the tail were still trembling slightly.

Although there are only two hundred soldiers of the Thirty-fourth Legion, the high-level legion is the high-level legion, and the soldiers who are blessed with the aura of the legion are powerful and terrifying.

Almost every one of their arrows can inflict great damage on the soldiers above the city, and their arrows are so far away that the soldiers above the city have no way to fight back.

They can only return the arrows to the other soldiers under the city, and vent their anger from the other soldiers, who are not as powerful as the armor of your soldiers in the Demon Vine Legion.

Although the Emerald Empire is powerful, it is impossible to put real iron armor on every soldier's body, especially the light iron armor that can fight in the mountains like Blago Province, which is a scarce resource.

Therefore, the vast majority of soldiers still have the leather armor that is common in the province of Blago, which cannot be said to be really low in defense, but it is still slightly weaker than the arrows.

Once the arrow is fired head-on, there is no way to give the soldiers enough protection, and it really brings some small casualties to the soldiers of the empire for a while.

"Ladder!"

Andel shouted loudly, and ladders were pushed up by the soldiers and set up on the walls.

In fact, this is just a small town, the city wall itself is very low, only about six or seven meters in shape, that is, the height of a two-story building, after the ladder is built, the soldiers appeared, such a city wall, and the big city of Elevor is really completely different.

A big city like Elev City, once it falls from the top of the ladder, there is only one ending, that is, death, and it is absolutely impossible to survive.

But this small city, even if it falls from the top of the city, may be able to survive, as long as it is alive, there is still hope, thinking of this, the soldiers climbed up the ladder even more bravely.

At the same time, two huge spears shot out of the hands of Andel and another officer, and shot straight at the gate of the town, with huge chains attached to them, dragging them all the way to the attacking army.

Hundreds of people in the Imperial Army quickly grabbed the huge iron chain, and then kept pulling it towards the rear, although no one knew what the principle of levers was, but the wise people naturally knew how to use them.

With the strength of the imperial soldiers, the sound of the iron chains kicking, the gate of the camp on the opposite side also creaked, and the gate was slightly deformed, like a creature that had been torn apart, and let out a miserable wail.

In the imperial army, the arrows are still harvesting the lives of the barbarian soldiers, and the imperial soldiers are jumping towards the city wall, occupying the territory on the barbarian city wall step by step, and now the gate of the camp is being irreversibly opened.

That feeling of despair hung over the hearts of every barbarian soldier, the despair of having completely lost all chances of turning defeat into victory.

The barbarian officer, of course, could not sit idly by, and of course ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at the Imperial soldiers who were pulling the chains, trying to interrupt them.

In the face of the surging arrows, the soldiers of the empire were slightly panicked, but the events that followed made their hearts settle.

The Empire's Great Shields provided them with very reliable protection, and all attacks were blocked by the Great Shields, and even if some small arrows were exposed, they would be shot down by the quick-eyed soldiers, all of whom did not pose any threat to the Imperial soldiers.

The Imperial soldiers pulling the chains began to pull the chains again with all their might, and continued to move towards the rear of the military formation.

There was some despair in the eyes of the barbarian officers, and their arrows were only white marks when they shot at the shields of the imperial soldiers.

After so many years, the Jade Empire does not know how much stronger it is than Blago's barbarians in terms of metal craftsmanship, not to mention the weapons on the battlefield, even the agricultural tools used by the farmers are probably more advanced than the iron tools used in the barbarians' weapons.

This is the crushing of the civilization level, and this is also the most obvious gap between the national strength of the two countries.

There is a popular saying in the world of Labral, "It is better to be a prince of jade than a king of barbarians".
