Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Fei'er (Part II)
Five days later, in the early morning, the real siege battle was started, the design of the Fei'er city gate is the outer suspension bridge, the inner layer is the real city gate, if the other party wants to push the battering ram under the city, they must first fill the moat in front of the suspension bridge with mud, but now the moat has been condensed under the leadership of Qilu, just fill it with mud Once Qilu throws a fireball or something, they will be in trouble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So now they can only protect their fire mages by melting the river at the gate and then filling in the sand to ensure that their battering rams don't become an obstacle for them, but will the magicians of Qilu and Fei'er really let them get their wish like this? Just as they were melting the ice of the moat little by little, Qilu led the magicians of Fei'er to start pouring water into the mud around the moat, making the road under Fei'er's south gate extremely muddy, not to mention the battering ram, and even the infantry was very difficult to advance.
On the other side, under the cover of trebuchets and rain of arrows, the invasion of the city wall also started again, this time there were no old, weak, sick or slaves, so the speed of charging to the city was much faster than the last time, but due to the efforts of Qilu and the magicians, the time for the two armies to arrive at the city was about the same, and because of this, the construction of the ladder was also extremely difficult.
Not to mention, Qili also prepared for them the most cruel and ancient garrison utensils of antiquity, that is, the ointment, which was boiled when the besieging army was about to climb the city walls, and the soldiers who were drenched all jumped off the ladder screaming and rolling in the little snow left in the grass to try to cool their armor.
When all the ointment was poured down, Qilu threw a fireball on the city wall that was already full of ointment, and the ointment stained with flames was immediately ignited, and the blazing flames continued along the footsteps of the soldiers who fled into the remaining snow on the grass, and the ladder that had been built was also burned to charcoal, and the moat that had been frozen was also dissolved in the heat generated by the flames, and the ointment burned on the moat for a whole morning, which also made the besieging army have to focus on the progress of the moat, the four strong crossbows on the southern gate and the non-stop fire of hundreds of sharpshooters failed to force the opponent back, and now, they only need to fill in the sand, you can start the next round of attack.
And now, nothing has happened on Chehir's side, which is a little weird, but just when everyone feels inexplicable, a dark shadow on the horizon is gradually approaching.
"I am the knight of His Highness Feiyue!" "The person who came was Erher, the other party originally wanted to use the Sage to launch a surprise attack on the East Gate, and Erhel had already sensed the breath of the other party's Sage, so he waited for the other party to send him to the door at the East Gate, he was a knight in charge of managing the underworld, for him, normal injuries and coldness were meaningless, and Feiyue's death made his heart fall into endless despair.
"Your Highness Feiyue?" Chehir heard Urgher's voice, so he stopped his own long-range forces in time, so that there was no incident of his own people beating his own people. "Is His Highness Feiyue really as rumored?"
"Well, he was pierced through the heart and his soul was taken away!" said what he had seen, "but the elves who had a good relationship with His Highness before said that His Highness was still saved, and now with the help of the elves, his wounds have healed, but he still can't wake up!"
"Are you saying that His Highness Feiyue is still alive, that is, he can still be alive?" asked Lala.
"Yes, it's just that time is uncertain!" Urgher's expression darkened, and he was more desperate in the face of Lara's questioning.
"Then we should defend this city even more!" Lala raised the shield in her hand, "The warriors of Fei'er City, in order to protect His Highness's smile!"
"To protect His Highness's smile!" all the troops guarding the east gate raised their shields and roared with Lala!
"You go to the south gate to help!," Erjell said to the defenders of the east gate, "The Sage they just sent has been killed by me, and there should be no movement for a while!Don't worry, I won't let anyone enter His Highness's beloved city from here!" With that, Erjell turned around, stuck his sword on the wall, and stared directly at a thin snow-covered grassland outside the east gate, and stopped talking.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you!" Chehir took a deep look at the silent Ögel, and hurried to the south gate with his army.
However, by the time Chehir and his party reached the south gate, the flames outside the walls had been extinguished, and it was just noon, and the enemy army had retreated to prepare for the next attack.
"Why are you here?" asked Kili when she saw that Chehir had returned to the south gate with all his troops.
"There is a knight who says it is His Highness, and there he is!" replied Chehir.
"Tell me about his characteristics, the knight of the Moon?" asked Qilu.
"Green armor, black cloak, and a black two-handed sword, and his face is not clear under the armor!" Chehir described simply.
"Green armor? Could it be Urgell? That guy has been in love with His Highness Feiyue since he was a child, and later His Highness's resurrection was the first time he found His Highness, and now he is still here to help defend the city?"
Under Qili's questioning, Chehir repeated what Ögel had said before, which naturally included a series of things that Effie Yang had done.
"Effie Yang, isn't that right! Hasn't he always been a complete sister, how could he possibly do something to His Highness Feiyue?" Scarlet Snow tilted her head and said, "Anyway, I can't think of any reason!"
"What if the current Efeiyang is no longer Efeiyang?" Qilu said with a frown, "When His Highness Feiyue's father was teaching us, he told us something about the soul of His Highness Feiyue, but it was only once, and I can't remember the specific content, alas, why that memory?" Qilu suddenly stopped as she recalled, it seemed that that memory had been erased like Feiyue.
"Don't worry about it for now, since His Highness Feiyue still has a chance to resurrect, then we must defend Fei'er!" Qili interrupted Qilu's thoughts and said, "Get ready! The afternoon attack will start soon, this time it is a complete white-knuckle battle, and we have nothing to use!"
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the horn sounded again from the enemy camp, and the huge battering ram was pushed up under the cover of the heavy infantry, along with the siege towers as high as the city walls, except for a few trebuchets, even the crossbows could not deal effective damage to them, and the defenders could now only watch the huge siege towers slowly approach and were helpless.
"Raise the shield!" When the cover of the siege tower pressed against the city wall, the knights also raised their shields and charged at the enemy soldiers pouring out of the siege tower, this group of guards Qian Qian and Lala also mixed in, with the defense of the two, they could almost completely ignore the enemy's slashing or slashing, the two guarded the entrance of a siege tower, and the corpses built in front of them almost blocked the entrance to the siege tower.
And the battle on Chehir's side was more tragic, countless ladders were also pushed up after the siege tower set up the city wall, as the enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall also came, Chehir and his knights were also forced to retreat, until Qili brought reinforcements forward to support, this regained the dominance of the city wall, and Qilu on the side did not stop, the magicians under the guidance of Qilu all aimed at the ladder on the city wall and the battering ram that was still pushing the slow advance, so that wave after wave of attacks continued until the night, the city wall was lost again and again and was recaptured again and again, and the corpses under the city wall had completely overflowed the moatThe corpses on the walls raised the walls a little higher, and the battle did not stop until both sides could see anything.
"How many casualties do we have today?" asked Kiri returning to a stronghold not far behind the walls.
"The casualties of the knights are more than thirty percent, the casualties of the city guards are more than fifty percent, and the mercenaries have not yet counted them!" Chehir replied.
"There are almost no casualties among the magicians, about twenty percent of the casualties among the archers, more than fifty percent of the number of magic arrows, ordinary arrows can be used for at least a week, there are about five hundred crossbow arrows, and as for trebuchets, the last thing we lack is stones!" replied Qilu.
"It's okay, tomorrow they should use angels and sages to participate in the attack, and even if they can't run out of bows and arrows at that time, they won't have a chance, and the same goes for crossbow arrows!" Qili shrugged, "Okay, rest well tonight, I'm afraid tomorrow will be even more difficult than today!"
But just as Qili said, early in the morning, the other party began to send angels to mix in the attacking team during the first wave of offensives, fortunately, Crimson Snow was alerted by Qili, and this time she has been assisting in the attack on the city wall, otherwise the consequences are really difficult to say.
The soldiers who turned into angels emptied a large area on the city wall in an instant, if they just waited for their own sages to pass, I am afraid that the city wall would be difficult to recapture, Crimson Snow as an extremely powerful existence with great mobility and combat effectiveness, the angel just took the lead to clean up the area near himself, Crimson Snow's claws had already pierced its core, and took away their souls.
This time, there were twelve angels sent by the other side, and although these twelve angels were cleared by the crimson snow in a very short time, the defenders on the city wall were almost all cleared, so that the enemy troops who followed up later could successfully climb the city wall and begin to assemble.
On the other side, the battering ram finally arrived at the city gate, and the drawbridge could not withstand the battering ram's several attacks, and the city gate after that also roared under the impact of the battering ram, which was still the effect of being reinforced by the alchemy magic array, and I don't know which battering ram was made of what it was made of, and it was so destructive to the city wall.
"We are the most valiant defenders of Fier!" Chehir led the remaining knights to the front of the city gate, waiting for the enemy soldiers to rush in after the gate was breached.
The battle for the city wall is still ongoing, this time although there is no help from the knights led by Chehir, the undead lich arrived in time, with the assistance of the sea of the undead, the mixed force of the city guards and mercenaries can be regarded as a thrilling recapture of the city wall, but when the undead began to counterattack the enemy army under the city, the dispersal of the priests soon came to the head of the undead, these undead were all summoned, and there was almost no immunity to dispel magic, but no one expected that the other party's priest acted so quickly this time。
However, just when the city wall was completely back in the hands of the Fei'er guards, the sound of the city gate collapsing resounded throughout the city, and the knights led by Chehir also engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy troops who poured into the city, controlling all the enemy troops at the city gate, as the two sides continued to stalemate, the corpses at the city gate became more and more tired, and finally even blocked the city gate, this time the loss of the knights was great, under the continuous and tireless attack of the enemy army, in the end, the members of the knights were no longer one in ten, and with the weakening of the knights, the enemy army began to pour into the outer city of Fei'er。
