Chapter 489: Amendment Period
As Lin Ye had predicted, although the Imperial Legion's attacks had been repeatedly frustrated, Ka Miao did not abandon the city at his fingertips. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under Ka Miao's strong order, the Imperial Legion completely attacked the city with a posture of killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 themselves, and the soldiers went forward one after another.
The boulders that flew towards the walls were like a rain of locusts, and the clusters of arrows that flew down from the walls were equally overwhelming, and the soldiers raised their shields.
But suddenly, the shield was covered with bows and arrows, and there were also arrows with diamond-shaped clusters of arrows that pierced the shield and nailed directly to the soldiers' eyebrows.
But the most tragic thing was the boiling oil poured from the city tower, and the hot oil temperature was enough to burn people's skin and flesh, and it was unbearable to see.
Even if some soldiers insisted on climbing the stairs despite the pain, the next torches were enough to plunge them into a sea of purgatory.
Huge scythes fell in an arc from the walls, and the soldiers who were clinging to the stairs like ants were easily cut off.
This is their nightmare, a strangulation ground of flesh and blood, and what a ruthless soul can turn a blind eye to such a tragic situation and continue to give orders.
This terrible situation lasted for a whole week, and on several occasions the Imperial legions came close to breaching the walls, but the defenders were defeated.
Not only that, but with the reinforcements from the surrounding cities, the Imperial Legions became more and more overwhelmed, and in the moment of their slackness.
The cunning Duke of the Far East personally led his army in a night attack, destroying all the trebuchets of the Imperial army, which once again boosted the morale of the defenders.
As for the Imperial Legions, the frustrations and casualties were heavy day after day, the complaints of the soldiers were growing, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
In the Imperial Legion barracks, Ka Miao was patrolling the army, his henchman Siren following behind him, and many soldiers cast their gazes, which quickly retracted.
"General, as you can see, we have suffered heavy losses in the siege of the city for several days, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers do not have enough clothing to protect themselves from the cold. ”
The siren cautiously admonished Ka Miao behind him, and he tried to avoid words like "retreat", as this would provoke Ka Miao's sensitive nerves.
"The city of roses will be captured in a week at most, and the soldiers will get everything they want, whether it be wealth, or status, or women, and I will give them three days off after taking the city, you should know what I mean? ”
Ka Miao once again revised the deadline for taking the city, from the first week to the next half a month, and now it is the third week.
"With your command, General, it will be no problem for us to take Rose City, but according to this momentum, even if we succeed in taking Rose City, then our remaining military strength, I'm afraid there is only less than fifteen corps left, isn't this loss a bit too big?"
The sirens didn't dare to disobey Ka Miao in the slightest, so they had to follow him, but the number of battle losses was too staggering.
At the beginning, the Imperial Central Army had the strength of thirty legions, and it fought fiercely for a long time under the command of Adolf, and always occupied the advantage of the battle.
At that time, the losses were less than five legions, and by the time Ka Miao took over, there were still twenty-five reorganized legions left, and ten more came later.
In other words, Ka Miao actually commanded thirty-five legions, and the corresponding army in Rose City was less than half of the imperial legions.
However, under the strong orders of Ka Miao, the Imperial Legion suffered heavy losses, and after two weeks, ten legions had been lost, and now only twenty-five remained.
This still seemed like a staggering number, but the Sirens knew that as the weather got colder, so did the problems for the Imperial Legion.
In particular, he had learned that the supply line had been cut off, but the news was still kept secret from the army, and the soldiers did not know about it.
Moreover, his estimate is still very conservative, saying that there are still fifteen legions left in order to make Ka Miao's face look better, if it really comes to that point.
Not to mention fifteen legions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect even five legions, which means that it will cost thirty legions to capture the Imperial Army of Rose City!
"Hmph, if there are no more soldiers, you can recruit them again, as long as you have money, don't you worry about recruiting soldiers? Now the focus is to take Rose City, as long as we take this city, but Your Majesty's troubles, we can be transferred to the royal capital, and then we can naturally take over the command of other armies, what are you worried about?"
Ka Miao snorted coldly, he was determined to take down Rose City this time, in fact, he did have this power.
During the same period, the city of Roses also suffered heavy losses, and the defenders had less than ten legions left, and the battalion was full of wounded soldiers, and could fight less than six legions.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, which is also where Ka Miao's confidence lies, as long as he continues to attack, he will definitely be able to win!
"General, what you said is that I will immediately go down and deploy your orders. The siren greeted Ka Miao with a smile on his face, and he himself walked around the barracks.
Ka Miao departed under the escort of his own soldiers, his eyes firmly fixed on the city, and there was no room for any other place.
The smile on the siren's face quickly turned to bitter helplessness as Ka Miao walked away, and a shivering soldier approached him.
"Sir, how long will we have to fight this battle? Many people have died, can we really take that city?"
The young soldier asked if it was his first time on the battlefield, and at first he was excited, he was fighting for his country, and he had a sense of honor.
But now he is gradually unclear, who is he fighting for, is it just for the ambitions of politicians?
"It's hard work everyone, Rose City will soon be unable to hold on, as long as everyone persists, they will soon be able to fight. ”
The siren patted the young soldier on the shoulder and encouraged him, in his position he could do nothing but give him hope.
Even if it never comes, it is like a castle in the air and there is no real hope, but hope is better than no hope.
"Sir, why hasn't we seen the supply trucks come in for a long time? And our food distribution seems to be getting dwindling, what's going on? Everyone says that our supply lines have been cut off, and that General Doragon has defected because of this. ”
The soldier couldn't help but ask, there are already many bad rumors in the army, although they still have the advantage.
But the dissatisfaction in private is getting worse, but Ka Miao can't see this at all, he only cares about taking the city.
"Don't worry, our warehouse is full, the transport trucks are all brought in through the back door at night, and they are only careful to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks, you don't have to worry, as for Doragon, he is just a traitor, don't worry too much, go down and have a good rest." ”
The sirens brushed his question over and motioned for them to go back to rest, and the soldiers nodded, but their brows did not stretch.
"If you don't take it within a week, you'll be in trouble, General Kamiao, and your stubbornness will hurt everyone. ”
The siren sighed faintly and quickly disappeared into the barracks.
