The garrison's overconfidence in the fortifications led to a serious lack of preparation, and they almost fell on the first day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At a critical juncture, the priests of the Church of Light called on the believers of the church to ascend the tower and use their flesh and blood to plug the gap that had been opened.

This slowed down the attacker's attack, and the rush of reserves made it darker and darker after a day of hard fighting.

Only then did the attacker stop the attack, and the army slowly withdrew to its own position for adjustment, and the garrison breathed a sigh of relief, and the city tower was in a mess.

This was the kind of city they had not encountered when the peasant army had attacked the city a few days before, and the walls had become full of holes in just one day.

"Is this still an impregnable royal capital? It's only been a day, and we've been pushed to this extent, how long can we hold out?"

"What is that terrible weapon of war, it is simply a strong wall that can be moved, and the enemy directly mounts the weapon and charges at us. ”

"It's a nightmare in the history of warfare, we simply lose the advantage of our garrison, and we have a large number of archers to suppress it. ”

The soldiers of the garrison recalled the experience of this day, and many of their companions, whose names they could tell, were killed in the attack, and died in a miserable manner.

They were supposed to have the upper hand, and the attackers were able to move a large number of archers on the wooden platform to shoot.

Both in terms of height and the accuracy of the archers, even the bows and arrows they used were several times larger than normal bows, more than a man tall.

In this case, the garrison was completely crushed, and on the first day more than a thousand people were killed, which is a very staggering number.

"Sure enough, the enemies who attacked the royal capital this time were not comparable to those vulgar farmers, not only in field warfare, but also in siege warfare. ”

"I don't know how many days we can hold on to this momentum, the future of the empire has become very bleak, where should we go?"

"Those are not the issues that we soldiers should consider, and we don't even control our lives in our own hands, so let's do our jobs honestly. ”

Some soldiers looked depressed about the future, but when they were older, the veteran who had experienced the previous battlefield patted him on the shoulder.

The sunset is projected crookedly on the city wall, and the sunset is just right, but how many times can you see such a sunset?

At the same time, on a hillside far away from the tower, several young men looked at the ruined ramparts in the bleak evening breeze.

Without careful identification, it is difficult to equate this wall with the tall and sturdy royal capital, in fact, it is not only the royal capital.

Even the leaders of the border army and the Medusa Legion who participated in the attack were puzzled by this scene, which was too abnormal.

"In my memory, the defense line of the royal capital should not be so fragile, why is it that it has been like paper paste in this day, and it has been beaten to a thousand holes. ”

Layton frowned, he had grown up in the royal capital since he was a child, and he knew the royal capital well, and he had climbed the city tower more than once.

The walls of the royal capital in his memory should be extremely strong, one of the most difficult cities to conquer in the entire continent, and he had attacked it three years ago.

At that time, he and his soldiers under Leo's command tested the city's fortification with blood, and fought for months without being able to take the city.

Now in just one day, there are a large number of cracks and even collapses in the city wall of the royal capital, this scene is too unbelievable and can be called a miracle.

"I've checked the flying rocks fired by trebuchets, they are the most common rocks collected from the neighborhood, and there is nothing special about them, how can you do it?"

Wren also had deep doubts about this, and when he saw with his own eyes that the walls of the royal capital were crumbling under the attack of the flying stones, he went to check the stones.

Originally, he thought that there was some kind of special place in these flying stones that could create such terrible lethality, but after examination, this was not the case.

It's just a normal flying stone, and it's fired with a slightly improved quality trebuchet than the standard style trebuchet they're used for.

Even if there is an increase in power, it will not reach this level, which is simply unbelievable, it is really incredible.

"I'm also very puzzled about this question, I don't know if Duke Lin Ye can give us a clarification of the doubts, what kind of magic power is being exerted on it. ”

Messiah, the helmsman of the Medusa family in the north, blinked at the youngest of the group standing on the hillside, waiting for his response.

After all, although they come from different forces, their status is not low, and they are both princes and dukes, and Lin Ye is not the one who stands out.

But this young man is undoubtedly the core of this army of 60,000, no matter how conceited they are, such as Leighton and the Wren brothers.

It's shocking to compare it to him as if it had lost its color, something no one else could do anyway.

"Actually, this question shouldn't be asked to me, it should be asked to His Highness Layton, and it is all thanks to His Highness Layton that we can deal a heavy blow to the city wall. ”

Lin Ye smiled lightly in the face of these people's questions, he was naturally expected to behave so calmly, but he pushed the question to Layton.

"It's all up to me, I don't remember what I've done, Duke Lin Ye is probably joking with me. Layton frowned, a little suspicious.

In this siege of the royal capital, he basically did not participate in the battle, and he played more of a political role.

As for the command of the battle, he left it to his brother Wren, in fact, he had no direct lineage, and the border army only obeyed Wren's command.

"Has His Highness Layton forgotten the devastating blow he inflicted on the royal capital with His Highness Leo three years ago, when he was only a little short of taking the city, and at that time the city walls were under very heavy pressure, and they were not far from collapse. ”

Instead of answering Leighton's question directly, Lin Ye shifted the conversation to the civil war three years earlier, when he was developing industry in the Far East.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the war in the royal capital was extremely tragic, otherwise the national strength of the empire would not have been consumed to such a serious extent.

"That's true, at that time, my brother and I were only one line away from breaking through the royal capital, and the walls of the royal capital did suffer a lot of damage at that time, but in the following more than a year, didn't the royal capital be repaired......?

Layton frowned, and when he said the word "repair", he suddenly paused, suddenly realized something, and was stunned.

"That's right, the problem is the fix. Lin Ye responded with a smile.
