178: Tense Battles 11
Woohoo!
Another round of shooting.
The guns rang out, accompanied by the fall of a group of people.
Cold sweat was already breaking out on Cascivaro's head, and in less than half a minute, two or three hundred of the enemy's soldiers had already fallen. This is still a situation where there are only more than 300 people using the weapon called the musket, and if there are more than 3,000 such musketeers, then that scene, Cascivaro is already a little unimaginable.
"General Wadeen is not good, the enemy has a strange weapon, and with that strange sound, the soldiers in front of us will fall in large groups. The soldiers in front were already panicking and did not dare to attack forward. "An officer captain came running.
"Strange weapon, do you see what kind of weapon it is? Wadeen said with a frown, he also heard the strange sound just now, and then he saw his soldiers fall in rows, and then he also felt bad.
"I didn't see it, it was too high and too far apart. I only saw what seemed to be a spark flashing. The chief officer said in horror.
"Wadeen, why don't the soldiers in front continue to attack!" Billis walked over.
"That's what General Bilis looks like,............ "Wadeen reported the situation to Billis.
Before he could finish his hearing, Bilis shouted, "Because of the strange weapons of the enemy, you are afraid to attack." You are still not soldiers, now let the soldiers in front of me immediately continue the attack, I will stand on the opposite wall in an hour, the Bucks army is invincible, I think the Duke thinks the same. β
"Yes. "Wadeen can't help it, although he and this Bilis seem to be generals who command the army, but the brother-in-law of the family and the duke, I heard that he also dedicated his wife to the duke some time ago, it is the time to be favored, so don't be unhappy.
"You give me someone to rush hard, and if anyone dares to retreat, I will cut him down with my own hands. β
At this time, the soldiers in front of them were already rushing forward, and the distance from the city wall was only less than fifty meters, and they were about to rush to the bottom of the city wall, and the archers behind them also began to shoot in twos and threes.
Eto'o also saw that the situation was not right, and decisively ordered the archers under his command to support, under the temptation and impact of the previous few days, although the losses were heavy, but this time the temple protector army that came to support, more than half of them were archers, in order to rely on the number to suppress the other party, but I didn't expect this mysterious weapon to appear again.
Eto'o was worried, the rain of fire and loud noises of the previous days had not yet been seen, and such long-range weapons appeared, and as for the bows and arrows that were fired, they were blocked by the shields on the walls.
Just remembered those fire rains, Ah Xin City's trebuchet shot, this time Eto'o can be sure, these guys are deliberately they put closer and louder, the loud noise did not sound, but the fire rain fell from the sky, many unprepared Buck Principality soldiers were smashed in the head, died on the spot, even if luck did not hit the head, the place where the fire hit, immediately splashed flames, burning the soldiers rolling all over the ground, especially the fire rain became more and more dense, the battlefield fifty meters in front of Ah Xin City became a sea of fire.
At this time, these coup d'Γ©tat troops exposed a huge drawback.
There was no preparation for the siege of the city in advance, and the imperial capital and Axin City were all opened by them with internal spies, but in today's situation, they actually did not have half a siege vehicle and trebuchet, all of which relied on improvised ladders.
The only battle that could still suppress the city walls was Eto'o's 5,000 archers, but this was still not a long-term solution, it was only barely suppressed, and reducing the frequency of the Flying Army's firing did not help the siege at all, especially the rain of fire.
Wadrin looked at the retreating Bucks Duchy soldiers in front of him with a solemn face, while Pyris was furious and directly asked Wadrin for trouble, and finally looked at the battlefield in front of him, obediently closed his mouth, and his face was terrifying.
"We must build trebuchets to suppress their trebuchets, otherwise it will be difficult for the soldiers to charge under the walls. Wadrin said with a bitter look on his face.
"Build! Build with all your might, but you have to remember that Her Royal Highness the princess has less than ten days of food, and if you can't capture Axin City in these ten days, you should understand. Billis looked at Wadrin and said with a grim face.
Wadrin nodded, but scolded his mother in his heart, this Pyris also saw that the situation was wrong, and actually wanted to push him out as a scapegoat.
"Jessica's enemies have stepped back for the time being, rest and recuperate, and remember to take out those archers first, and don't let them pose a threat to the walls. Aslan drew his sword and said to Jessica, who was holding a musket on the side.
"Yes, Lord Castle Lord, don't worry, you still don't believe in our marksmanship, those archers don't want to escape our eyes. Jessica said confidently as she reloaded after a shot.
"Okay. β
"Lord Aslan, you're going to the front. Cascivaro said with a frown.
"Yes, now that the enemy infantry in front of us is about to storm our walls, I'm going to go to the front and have a look. Aslan said without hesitation.
Cascivaro said worriedly: "Wouldn't this be too dangerous, you are now the commander after all, you should stay here." β
Aslan shook his head with a smile and said, "In the army of the Flying Army, the first military rule is to take the lead. As a commander, a general, if you can't fight with your own soldiers. Then he is not a qualified general, and if I don't lead by example, how can I convince other officers. β
With that, Aslan had already led a few soldiers around him towards a city wall with the most enemies.
"These soldiers of Flying City are really different, it feels like there are more things than the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Army. One of the magicians who followed Cascivaro sighed.
Cascivaro chuckled, Aslan, the army led by the Sara family's kid is really unusual. Maybe these soldiers can really block the attack of the enemy's 40,000 soldiers.
"Okay, we can't continue to watch the show here, according to the instructions of the city lord of Aslan just now, wait for the battle, remember to protect those musketeers as much as possible, and support the battle in front from time to time, and now the enemy magician has not appeared, we have to be careful." β
"Yes. β
Cascivaro came this time, not only with orders for support, but also with orders to observe Aslan.
