The army of 30,000 people, more than a kilometer away from the city wall, was neatly arranged, and a large number of siege equipment was mixed in the middle of the ranks, and the momentum was extremely huge, compared to the scattered defenders on the city wall, it seemed so weak.

General Klee didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, but stood alone in front of the formation and said loudly: "The defenders in the city are good, you are limited to open the city gate within an hour, otherwise after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered for three days!"

He spread out the formation just for demonstration, and in the process of going south, almost all the cities along the way, in the face of such a battle, would open the city and surrender.

Looking down from the walls, where he stood, the ballista could easily shoot.

But as had been planned before the battle, all the ballistae were hidden away from the city walls at this time, protected by young soldiers of twenty men. Each of them carried a strong shield in case the enemy was struck by a bow or arrow or a stone-throwing during the siege.

The figure of Captain Kane emerged from the city wall, he had not fully recovered from his injuries, he mustered all his strength, and the voice he made was not as loud as Klee: "If you want to fight, you can fight!

The corners of General Klee's mouth curved slightly upward, and he smiled contemptuously, no longer speaking.

Donner looked through the observation hole in the wall and watched from afar.

Klee has the same silver hair as Clay. He was tall and had a resolute face, and even from such a distance, you could still feel his piercing gaze.

This hour seems to be extremely long. Especially for the defenders on the city walls.

It was so quiet that Donner could even hear his own heartbeat, and even as he kept wiping his hands on the hem of his shirt, his palms were still wet. Although he has experienced several extremely brutal battles, after all, he has not participated in large-scale battles, nor has he seen tens of thousands of people attacking.

The plan looks perfect, but in practice, any omission in any link may be self-defeating.

While he was thinking this, the first accident happened.

The army of thorns began to attack the city. They had no intention of approaching the walls, but operated the trebuchet slowly.

Not long after, huge stones flew towards the city walls, most of them smashed on the city walls, and a few crossed the city walls and landed in the city, smashing several buildings beyond recognition, but fortunately, close to the city walls, the inhabitants had been emptied in advance.

The Thorns Army brought a total of more than thirty catapults, and after the first round of firing, the soldiers slowly moved them to position, and then launched a second round.

This time, there were a lot of stone throws, most of them smashed on a small part of the city wall, and one of them happened to land on the city wall, smashing a ballista beyond recognition. Seven of the young fighters in charge of operating the ballista were smashed into meat sauce on the spot, and the rest were also injured to varying degrees.

Seeing that the crossbow convoy under her command had begun to disarray, Sarah shouted eagerly, "Commander!"

Kane also shouted anxiously: "Donner, they're going to smash through the walls!"

Donner hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Don't wait, kill the catapult first." Be careful to avoid the opposing command camp. ”

The fifty-two ballistae on the city wall had already been wound in advance, and after listening to the order, they began to aim one after another.

After Sarah received reports of the completion of the aiming, she gave an order, and more than 3,000 crossbow arrows flew out in unison.

The army of thorns, which was adjusting their trebuchets and preparing for the third round of fire, heard a low bowstring sound from the direction of the city walls. Then countless crossbow bolts flew into the sky at the same time and flew towards them.

More than 3,000 crossbow arrows almost all fell in the camp of the Thorn Army.

Everywhere the crossbow bolts went, the chariots were smashed to pieces, and the horses and soldiers in full armor were all pierced through and nailed to the ground. A terrible wail rang out.

General Klee's command camp was fortunate not to be affected. He immediately ordered the whole army to retreat one kilometer.

In the face of sudden changes, this thorny army did not appear in much confusion, and still maintained its previous formation when retreating. All kinds of siege equipment were also protected and retreated at the same time.

On the positions from which they had withdrawn, more than a thousand corpses were left in their place, shocking.

The crossbow convoy, which had just shown signs of chaos on the city wall, immediately cheered up again by virtue of this round of results. However, Downer was not satisfied with the results - only seven catapults were destroyed.

However, the distance of two kilometers is beyond the range of the catapult.

Hearing the sound of the prepared report in his ears, Donner suddenly ordered loudly: "Sarah, don't shoot!

Hearing this, Sarah ran to Donner and asked, "Why don't you shoot, they're still in range, they've already seen the power anyway." ”

"They don't yet know how long we need to prepare for each launch. You start the timer from now on, and if after an hour, they haven't moved, launch again. Downer explained.

"Good!"

......

Army of Thorns in the camp.

"General, have you ever seen a crossbow bolt of this power?" General Klee's deputy, Gilfrey, the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Thorn Empire, asked cautiously.

"I haven't seen it. General Klee looked in the direction of the wall, his brow furrowed.

"The Femmon Empire has such a powerful weapon, why hasn't it been used before?"

"It's likely that these crossbows are too big to move. General Klee guessed.

"You say, could it be that Louis Ferrmont stayed here, and that's where he ......," Gilfrey continued.

"Possibly...... However, there is no point in speculating on this now. The more powerful this bolt is, the longer it will take to prepare......"

"Then we're back now, isn't it just time for them to prepare?" Gilfrey reminded with guts.

Klee's face changed, and then he said, "Well, go and prepare now! Five minutes later, attack the city with all your might!"

......

On the city wall, the defenders had not yet recovered their strength, but they saw that the thorn army that had just retreated began to advance again.

"Attention! they're going to attack the city!" Captain Kaz warned in a loud voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bow and arrow flew past his helmet. Immediately he turned around and drew his bow and arrow, and replied with color.

"All the magicians!

As he spoke, Deves added a stone skin technique to himself, then stood in front of the notch in the wall and began to chant the incantation.

Formal magicians barely need to chant incantations, and Devis is clearly preparing a large attack spell at this point.

At this moment, a huge fireball flew straight in, and Devis knew that his stone skin technique could not be stopped, so he immediately dodged and dodged. Halfway through the preparation of the magic, it was also interrupted.

The fireball grazed Deves, splashing a spark on him, and then swept over the city walls and landed on the roofs of the buildings in the city, which were instantly set on fire.

"It's a third-level magician!"

At Deves's warning, Donner had already seen the gray-robed mage through the observation hole. The mage was seven or eight hundred meters from the city wall, and there were seven or eight knights in front and behind him.

Under the strict protection of these knights, the mage suddenly had a blood splash on his chest, and he fell straight to the ground. Donner looked away and began to look for his next target.
