Chapter 395: The Battle of Troy (7)
The moat from which the drawbridge is retracted is twenty paces wide, and the rushing water flows around the city, cutting into the vast plain of Scommantel and finally into the azure Aegean Sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Greeks did not know how deep the river was, and the sand and gravel on the shoulders of the warriors paved a smooth road for the siege, which was approved by most of the generals, for which they put together 500 armor pieces and handed them to the strong, but good runners.
However, the Trojan commander Hector was not an arrogant fool, and soon saw the enemy's intentions, and immediately ordered a group of skilled archers, each carrying a leather cylinder full of arrows, to stand confidently on the city wall in two neat rows.
When the Greek warriors carrying bags of gravel on their backs ran wildly in the direction of the moat, their eyes not only concerned with the boulders that fell from time to time, but also on the lookout for the white-feathered arrows fired from the walls.
The twenty-blade-high walls of the city, where ordinary people stand on the ground, must tilt their necks at right angles to get a glimpse of them, and the condescending advantage is used by the Trojans to the fullest.
Lu Bin saw three or five archers aiming at a Greek warrior, firing in full harmony to ensure that there were no dead ends and no gaps to dodge.
Unfortunately, the Greeks were so well equipped that they wore not only fully enclosed Corinthian helmets, but also tough leather armor made of double cowhide, the inside of which was wet with sweat, but the outside was deliberately doused with water.
Despite the fact that the armor became heavier, it was good to protect the Greeks from the Trojan archers, at least to save their lives.
Lu Bin saw that after a few rounds of strafing, several Greek warriors were shot like hedgehogs, with dozens of arrows stuck in their broad backs, but they were running back and forth unharmed.
The murmuring moat, filled in by the Greek warriors at all costs, soon paved a path for six men to walk side by side, and although the road was rough and soaked by the river's constant erosion, the wet ground was enough to make the Greeks proud.
The Trojan general Hector did not pay attention to the path filled by the human life, but only nodded to the herald, and after a moment the silent order was heard, and the archers on the walls immediately replaced them with iron arrows.
When Lu Bin found out about this scene, he laughed secretly in his heart: "Cunning! Hector is too bad." Deliberately fool the Greeks with wooden arrowheads, and when the large army enters the siege, they will reap the lives of the enemy with iron-tipped arrows. With such a prince with heroic characteristics and the potential of a military strategist, it is no wonder that he survived to the end. Ah, with the hand of King Kuknos of Corone, I inflicted a blow on his close friend Patroclus with the spear of Achilles, and Hector's fate has been turned around. ”
Later, after seeing the Greek generals discussing for a while, Lu Bin ordered his soldiers to abandon the tight formation and launch an attack on the city of Troy with a loose straggler.
"It must be the trebuchet that is causing the trouble, a square army of 100 people, hit by a falling rock with great passive energy, let alone a few people who have to die, and if they are hit by a few boulders, the 100-person team will be completely reimbursed. The Greeks saw the threat and responded very sophisticatedly, worthy of a race that was keen to raid the city-state, and the siege tactics were well formulated and executed. However, if you attack in a skirmish line and get within range of the archers, you are going to deliver food. ”
Lu Bin's speculation is not unreasonable, perhaps the Trojans have not experienced the real meaning of siege warfare, some of the soldiers couldn't hold their breath, and saw a thousand-man army approaching, densely packed with human heads, and couldn't wait to strafe with iron-headed arrows.
In the blink of an eye, the arrows fell like a shower, killing the front line that rushed to the front on the spot, and the scarlet blood flower bloomed instantly, and the young life quickly withered.
Lu Bin's face was cloudy, but secretly he took action to harvest the soul, not giving the gods of the Holy Mountain any chance to intervene, expecting that a certain god would not be able to help but enter the scene, he would use the ability of the son of killing to take the opportunity to kill, and fish in troubled waters when the battle of Troy stirred up the turbulence of fate and covered the eyes of all the gods.
"On the first day of the Battle of Troy, I took action to change the fate of at least four heroes, whether it was the Trojan camp or the Greek coalition, the fate of many people changed significantly. Now it depends on whether the gods of the holy mountain will not be able to bear it and choose to correct it in person. I believe that there are many demigod heroes on the battlefield who have gathered the essence of the era, and ordinary gods will inevitably fall when they come here. ”
Shot by iron-headed arrows, the army of a thousand men, with a third of its warriors missing, reached the foot of the city of Troy with difficulty. At this time, a Greek hero who had hidden his identity suddenly let out a roar, and the whole person swelled rapidly as if he was blowing.
Lu Bin saw this person take out an iron hammer from his belt, and he didn't know where to press it, but the hammer head with a thumb was turned into a weapon with the thickness of a hug and a siege ram.
"A clever man! can put down his heroic stature, pretend to be an ordinary creep, and take the opportunity to get close to the corner where the archers can't aim and shoot. Oh! He's starting to siege the city. ”
"Boom", like a dark cloud gathering the thunder thrown by Zeus, exploded at the gate of the Trojan royal city, not only deeply shocked the Trojans on the city wall, but even the warriors around him fell to the ground as if they were injured.
Unfortunately, the city was built by Poseidon, the king of the sea, and even the gates made of iron logs are protected by a film of sea blue water.
Lu Bin squinted his eyes and vaguely saw that the Greek hero's hammer blow was enough to break the city, and the shocking power was scattered and borne by countless bricks and stones, and the result was that the majestic Xiongcheng was unharmed.
"Boom...... Boom"
The Greek hero, who had taken a little effort to get his chance, looked at his hands in disbelief, and his heart was suddenly ignited by anger that came from nowhere, and he immediately picked up the giant hammer given by the goddess of wisdom and slammed it on the seemingly weak city gate one after another.
As a result, his personal efforts were not rewarded in any way, the sea-blue water film rippled slightly, the intoxicating psychedelic light, the shaking ripples, as if mocking the Greek hero.
Such a long time is enough for Lu Bin to collect relevant information about this person: "Diomedes, the king of Argos, is second only to Achilles in terms of strength. It is a rare blessing to have the grace of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. ”
Lu Bin knew that Diomedes had a backer behind him, and he was also pious enough for the goddess Athena to not be affected by his own whispering, so he simply came directly to Hector's side and sent him a kind reminder.
The commander of Troy, hearing the guidance of the gods in the underworld again, couldn't help but clench his fists, and felt deeply honored in his heart, and at the same time, he also bred murderous opportunities for the Greek heroes who constantly bombarded the city gates under the city walls.
Once the killing intent appears, it is like a weed, growing irrepressibly in the shadows of the human heart, quickly covering the virtues that belong to heroes, such as kindness and justice.
Hector shook his head slightly, his eyes looked at the heavy trebuchet on the battlement wall, and immediately there was a tacit retinue to find someone to move a few hundred-pound boulders.
The phantom of Lu Bin's incarnation walked behind the Trojan general again: "Do you want to kill the Greek?"
Hector was stunned for a moment, after all, the guidance of the gods in the past was straightforward, and now it is the first time to give a choice.
"Kill him!"
Hector pondered for a moment, and immediately let out a dragon-like roar, which not only instantly shocked his allies and partners, but also affected the Greek hero Diomedes who insisted on bombarding the city gates at his feet.
Lu Bin knew that this sentence was a pun, and Hector not only answered the choice he gave, but also gave orders to the Trojans around him, so he continued to give instructions with satisfaction.
Then, the Trojan commander asked the warriors around him to see the position where the Greeks who were bombarding the city gate were standing at this time, and then pushed the two of them together with a stone, which was thick and chest-high, and pushed it down.
With a "boom", Diomedes, who felt the dangerous aura in advance, withdrew in time to retreat, and saw the boulders rolling down from the city wall deeply embedded in the ground, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.
Lu Bin saw that King Argos was still rejoicing, and unconsciously stopped the attack of the war hammer in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly: "It's too careless!"
Immediately afterward, another stone crushing the road rolled down, clinging to the walls to block Diomedes' dodge.
King Argos could only return to his original position, only to find himself pinned in the cracks, and suddenly felt an unprecedented malice, and the wind of death sent a chill to the back of his head.
Favored by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Diomedes was different from the Greek heroes with a tendon in his brain, realizing that he was in a state of being hunted, and did not hesitate to give up his plans to break the city, rolling backwards and preparing to flee.
Unfortunately, the large rock rolled down again, and before he could react, it completely sealed Diomedes' retreat.
In desperation, King Argos could only turn his back to the city gate as much as possible, trying to reduce his attack surface, and the pride in his heart had long since vanished, and under the threat of death, neither personal honor nor amazing war gains could be compared with life.
Hector personally carried a boulder, and the unrivaled strange force really shocked many people, and then he shouted and smashed the rock down.
Lu Bin saw the shadow of death suddenly fall from the sky, and immediately realized that the messenger of the gods had made a move, he snorted coldly, and the phantom of the incarnation switched to the son of killing, and met it without scruples.
Hermes suddenly discovered that the terrifying outer god of strength was coming from the walls of Troy, not to be outdone, and the moment the two sides fought, a strong impact erupted.
The invisible yin wind quickly moved away, falling a few drops of golden blood, and Lu Bin, whose face was covered by the gray cloak, grabbed a palm-sized white wing with his left hand, and quietly disappeared in place.
"Cut off one of the wings of the messenger of the gods, and I see how you will fly in the future? ”
