Chapter 356
His name is Ani, and he is the leader of this Black God team, and he has been sent to assist Atum in breaking through the Baria Pass.
"The wee hours of the morning are when the enemy's sense of defense is at its weakest, and even if they are prepared, their reaction speed will be much slower than usual, so it is the best time for us to attack the city. ”
Atum, who had a somewhat embarrassed expression, replied, in fact, it was very difficult for them to break through the walls of the Baria Pass in a short period of time, even with the help of the Black God Legion.
Many of his subordinates didn't understand why he gave up this pass, but in order to force out the inner ghost under his command, he had to use it as bait.
There is a traitor lurking in his camp and the enemy reveals his plan, which is far worse than losing the Barria Pass.
"Then we can make a tentative attack this afternoon, and take this opportunity to take out their towers first, and consume some of their defensive weapons. ”
Arnie is also very embarrassed, but when the vision is not clear enough, the Black God Ballista is like a blind man, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't be exerted.
"Isn't there any other way?" Atum sighed, it seemed that this battle would eventually have to be filled with human lives.
"We would have had a better chance of winning if we had a Thunderbolt, but we couldn't carry a Thunderbolt because of the speed of the march. Arnie replied truthfully.
The Thunderbolt was an extra-long-range catapult like the Iron Fang, and this time Atum did not carry this weapon for the speed of the army's march.
"Then it was decided, that we should make a test this afternoon, and withdraw if the enemy resisted too fiercely. After thinking about it for a while, Atum finally made a decision.
Soon after, when the sun was about to begin to set, the army of the White Sword Province suddenly moved, and one after another, armed with shields and siege ladders, rushed towards the Baria Pass.
Rows of archers in the rear began to rain arrows on the walls.
The Black God Ballista rolled out of the formation, aiming at the towers that shot the most, but they couldn't do anything for the time being as their catapults were hidden behind the walls.
Huge boulders fell on his soldiers' heads, and soon they fell, which made Atum feel that it was a very wrong decision not to come out with a catapult.
Otherwise, if they are here to show off their might, I am afraid that before the battle, the Thunderbolt will destroy the catapult they are hiding behind them outside their range.
It's just that it seems that the number of catapults in the Baria Pass is not large, because their attack density is very loose, so as long as the army of the White Sword Province disperses, the damage they cause becomes much smaller.
What made Atum even more depressed was that they could only attack from the city walls, because the gate of the Barya Pass was too perverted.
The battering weapon of the Breaker Hammer is almost negligible in its lethality to this steel-poured thing.
Finally, in a rain of arrows, the ladder of the army of the White Sword Province has already set up the wall of the Barya Pass, and the most brutal battle is about to begin.
For every time a siege ladder was destroyed or toppled down, more than a dozen soldiers fell from the heights, so that they were essentially incapacitated.
At the same time, the power of the Black God's ballista also terrified the enemy, because their weapons such as giant crossbows could not be found on the city walls.
Basically, they were just revealed before they could play a role before they were shattered by a lethal arrow, which made the defenders of Baria Pass cry bitterly.
"It doesn't look like this Baria Pass is so difficult to deal with. ”
Ani looked at the battle in the distance, because the warriors on his side had already attacked the city wall, although they could not completely break through it for a while, but they also had the upper hand, and he didn't quite understand why Atum was not optimistic about this.
"Don't you think there are very few soldiers on the city wall, and according to our intelligence, there must be no less than four thousand soldiers stationed in this pass. Atum's face was expressionless, and there was one thing he didn't say, that is, the casualties he brought to the army were much greater than those of the other side.
It takes about two and a half people to replace one of the other person.
"What's going on?" Ani was shocked, could it be that the other party's generals were still in the mood to hide their strength in the face of the danger of breaking the city?
"We must withdraw our troops before dark, otherwise we will suffer more casualties if we are not familiar with the terrain of the Baria Pass. ”
Atum said meaningfully: "He is sure that we will not be able to break through the walls in a short time, so he is planning to recuperate." ”
"Do you know who the commander of this pass is?"
"Ah, one of my former lieutenants, I gave up the Barya Pass just to get him out, this man is too dangerous. ”
Atum grinned and continued: "Withdraw our troops in a while, and then send them out at night to harass them, and I will make them sleep well." ”
Sure enough, that night Atum sent an army of several hundred men to wander around outside the Barya Pass without concealing his tracks, beating his weapons and war drums.
This was the case for three days in a row, and the archers on the other side had no way to take them because of the obstruction of their vision at night, and the most disgusting thing for them was that they let themselves rest well during the day, and when they were idle, they used the Black God Ballista to shoot a few rounds at the city wall.
"General, there is no way to go on like this, even if our soldiers take turns to rest, they can't withstand this kind of harassment. ”
At this time, inside the Barria Pass, all the generals in Cecil's council hall gathered here, and a young general felt a sigh of relief when he recalled the experience of the past few days.
"What's more, the morale of our soldiers has also taken a big hit, and I'm worried about whether our soldiers will be able to fight them next time they attack the city. An older general on the other side also said worriedly.
At this time, Cecil was in a complicated mood, he sat on the first place with a gloomy face, fiddling with a dagger in his hand, and gently scribbled on the table.
He really didn't expect that Atum, who had always been vigorous and resolute in doing things, would use such a disgusting strategy.
At the same time, he was also annoyed by the noisy atmosphere of the hall and the vegetable market, and finally he slammed the table, and slammed it and left a deep palm print on the table.
At the same time, the hall finally fell silent.
"I didn't let you here complain. It's for you to think of a solution. ”
