Chapter 685: The First Battle Was Unsuccessful
Bledsoe's face sank suddenly, the best effect of this spear he expected should be to directly hit Nadal out of combat power, and by the way, kill and wound more than a dozen soldiers around him, and achieve a suppressive effect in one fell swoop; Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although it seemed that he was more than 500 meters below the castle and injured several soldiers in the city with just a spear, and even a few people who didn't know the details were still cheering and cheering behind, but seeing that several of Bledsoe's cronies stopped with a little black face, it was even more weird, which made Bredsoe's mood even worse.
Henry couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Nadal easily block Bledsoe's first blow, after all, Xiao Di is not here now, and the best one to fight is Nadal, if Nadal can't block the opponent's blow, then this battle will not have to be fought, no matter how many people there are in the Shura Gang, it will definitely lose, but obviously Nadal did not disappoint everyone.
Henry immediately stretched out three fingers and slowly bent them towards Bredso, and immediately the bowstrings formed by the repeated entanglement of the iron-clad ox tendons of the three giant crossbows on the castle were pulled to the maximum by the twelve soldiers, and then after three earth-shattering loud sounds, they shot towards Bredsoe like thunder.
Bledsoe's face darkened, and he grabbed the spear next to the dragon-blood horse and swung it violently, and the three hard crossbows that were two feet long were thrown aside by him like a few wooden sticks, but Bledsoe's mood was very bad, after all, he did not win in this first round of confrontation, and with his identity and status, not winning was actually defeated.
Henry's voice came leisurely from above at this time: "Lord Bloody Hand, this is the response of our Shura Gang, if you want to attack the city, then come." ”
Bredsoe's eyes swept over Nadal, Henry, and the three brothers of the Tower family next to them and sneered: "Okay, this is what you said, remember your words, I want to see if you can still laugh when the city is broken, come on, give me a siege of the city, whoever is the first to attack the castle, reward 10,000 colored spars, and the official will be promoted to three levels." ”
After saying that, Bredsoe neither advanced nor retreated, he rode on his horse and watched his men orderly hold huge shields and began to slowly advance towards the castle, just now he had roughly estimated the opponent's high-end combat power in the city, since Nadal was able to easily take a spear he threw with all his strength, it means that his defensive ability is far above that of ordinary eighth-order strength martial artists, and he is not advantageous to attack from the bottom up, it is certain to defeat him, but it is difficult in a short time.
If you take into account Henry's treatment assistance, and the harassment of the three brothers of the Ta family, it will be even more troublesome, and besides, he is the commander of the entire army, and he must not easily get into danger, so Bredsoe still chose to brake quietly.
At this moment, Nadal at the head of the city is not easy for them, Bledsoe's strength is too strong, just the pull of the gas engine makes a few of them dare not move, and several of them can unite to ensure that they can block Bledsoe's attack at any time, in addition, the twenty giant crossbows on the head of the city also have to leave half of the trigger, after all, the attack of ordinary soldiers is completely ineffective for Bledsoe, and only these crossbow arrows can pose a certain threat to Bredsoe in the entanglement between the two sides.
Therefore, although Bledsoe alone did not move, it was equivalent to containing almost all the high-end combat power of the Shura Gang, and now the battle situation has become a contest between ordinary soldiers.
The armor and shields of this batch of hoplites brought by Bredsoe are of very good quality, except for those city defense crossbows that can be pierced with one arrow, ordinary crossbow arrows and stones and other attacks can only bring them slight damage, but the city defense giant crossbow is expensive, not to mention, each shot requires four soldiers to work together, so the attack speed is very slow, the opponent's soldiers only shot two rounds in the time they attacked the city, killing more than 20 enemies.
Seeing that his subordinates had already begun to climb up the ladder, a smug smile crossed the corner of Bredso's mouth, these rednecks now know the strength of our Kevin family's regular army, but it is a city wall more than twenty meters high, and it won't take long to climb it.
But immediately his smile froze, only to see Henry smile strangely and make a gesture, the soldiers of the Shura Gang at the head of the city immediately scooped out some black oil from the vat next to him and poured down the city wall, the oil was very slippery, and many of Bledsoe's soldiers who had almost climbed to the top of the city immediately felt unstable on their feet and fell, and at the same time brought down many people behind them.
This was not the end, Henry waved his hand again, and immediately someone lit a torch and threw it down, and as soon as the black oil touched the flames, it immediately burst into flames, and the soldiers on the besieging side immediately fell into the flames.
In the flames, their heavy armor and shields could no longer be used, and they shouted and fled backwards in defiance of the orders of the officers behind them, and then the arrows and crossbows from above rained down from behind, leaving behind dozens of slower soldiers.
The first wave of sieges ended like this, Bledso's side suffered nearly a hundred elite soldiers, while the Shura gang only paid some supplies to defend the city, and the casualties were almost negligible.
Bredsoe didn't get angry this time, after all, he was also an experienced general, and he understood that if his people didn't retreat just now, they would only increase casualties, but he didn't expect these guys from the Shura Gang to be so insidious and so well prepared.
Bredsoe secretly regretted that he was too light on the enemy this time, and did not bring any siege equipment at all, but fortunately, those siege troops and logistics troops followed in the rear, and they should have arrived within a day or two, and then they would look good again.
He looked at the city and sneered: "Okay, Henry, you are ruthless enough, let you live a few more days, but you pray that when the city is broken, it will not fall into my hands, otherwise I will let you die a good death." ”
Henry smiled easily: "This is not to worry about Lord Laubredeso, you should think about how to get to our city first, haha, it's better to leave." ”
Bredso's teeth itched with hatred, and he wanted to pull Henry down the city and kill him into seventeen or eighteen sections, but he still had no impulse after all, he ordered the troops to be collected with a black face, and the corpses of his men who died in the battle were recovered, and the wounded were sent to heal, Henry They did not stop them, battles often happen here, but except for rare cases, both sides will clean up the battlefield very tacitly after the battle, and no one will do it again.
As soon as Bredsoe returned to the big tent, he didn't even eat, so he immediately sent several of his men to urge the siege troops behind to hurry up, and under his continuous summoning and killing urging, the follow-up troops finally joined them the next night.
It consisted of ten giant catapults, ten rushing carts that could crash directly into the city gates, and a number of medical and healing personnel, and with the help of these aids, Bradthornton felt full of confidence, and if it wasn't getting late, he would have attacked the Shura Gang castle right away.
The next day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light in the east, Bledsoe couldn't wait for the herald to blow the horn of gathering, and all the people gathered in front of the Shura gang again, and Henry Nadal and them were naturally waiting at the head of the city.
Bledsoe glanced at it and found that there was another pale and tall young man to Nadal's right, carrying a golden longbow of more than two meters, and from the position of standing, his status was still above the three brothers of the tower family, and comparable to Henri Nadal.
Before coming here, Bredsoe had already read the intelligence of the Shura Gang's higher-ups, and knew that this guy's name was Gru, and he was a seventh-order agile archer - this level was just a dispensable figure in his opinion, but what he didn't know was that the current Gru had advanced to the eighth order, and he would be the protagonist of today's battle.
Bredsoe gave an order, ten huge trebuchets lined up a thousand meters away from the castle gate, this kind of trebuchet is a common siege prop used by the demons, it takes ten strong warriors to operate, it can throw about a ton of boulders to the city wall a thousand meters away, not to mention the power, even the giant crossbow defending the city can not cause much damage at this distance.
Bledsoe's right hand was raised in the air, and then he also bent three fingers and slowly lowered it towards the castle in front of him, while a cruel smile slipped across the corners of his mouth, his gesture was the same as when Henry ordered him to shoot him with three giant crossbows, which meant that the three trebuchets could be thrown once, which could be said to be the beginning of the attack, and it was also a demonstration.
At this time, Gru's eyes suddenly flashed, and he walked quickly behind a giant crossbow guarding the city beside him, motioned for the four warriors to get out of the way, and then he actually pulled the giant crossbow to the brim alone.
The Shura Gang warriors at the head of the city suddenly let out an exclamation, but what shocked them was still to come, Gru launched it without hesitation after filling the giant crossbow, and at this time Bledsoe's people were behind the trebuchet, and the distance from the castle was more than 1,500 meters, Gru was going to do this?
The people on Bledsoe's side immediately laughed, everyone is an expert on the battlefield, at this distance, even if the giant crossbow defending the city is only barely shooting arrows at most, it can't do any damage at all, and the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
But their smiles froze instantly, and after seeing the arrow fired by Gru fly in a strange arc along the air, it unexpectedly slammed into the 'long arm' of a trebuchet, where a huge stone had just been placed and ready to be thrown, and the rope was suddenly broken under the powerful impact of Gru's crossbow arrow.
The boulder also slammed into place with a 'boom', and half of the ten manipulating warriors were knocked down, not to mention, the bracket under the trebuchet was also smashed, and the trebuchet suddenly slanted to the ground, obviously unable to be used anymore.
