Edmund said: "But they have about 4,000 troops on the defensive, and I am afraid that the losses will be great." ”

Hans listened to it and said with a smile: "Edmund, if you don't attack again, it's going to be evening, can't you see that those soldiers on the wall are just looking good? Otherwise, where did so many cultivators come from Oro City, although your infantry are almost all junior fighters, but it should be easy to deal with them, right?"

After Edmund plans to capture the city, he will go to the Rhine fortress, to strike a blow to the emperor's army in the back, or cut off their logistics, and the merit is at his fingertips, which requires that no one be let go as much as possible, lest they ventilate the news, so he said: "The auxiliaries are on the city wall, it still has some effect, I hope that no nobles escape, and we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

Hans said, "Where can they flee? In the direction of the Rhine fortress in the southwest? That would be to death, and they would be used as cannon fodder." The east side is blocked by mountains, and there is nowhere to go, so it is safe for us to attack the north gate. And on the other side of the canyon, you didn't say that it was controlled, so what is there to worry about?"

Another knight chief also said: "My lord, Lord Hans is right, only one side is needed, I think, as long as the attack pressure is strong enough, then their cavalry will have no chance to come out at all, and can only go up to the wall to defend." ”

Edmund thought that since it was difficult to control it now, it was better to take down the city, and his subordinates were right, so he said: "Okay, go out of the camp and line up, with 2,000 infantry on the left and right flanks to prevent the cavalry from assaulting, and the 8,000 soldiers and 1,000 archers of the Chinese army will directly attack the city, and strive to take the city down before dark." ”

The generals took the order and went out of the tent, and all kinds of shouts and hurried footsteps immediately sounded outside the tent.

Standing on the city wall, Lynn was relieved to see that the enemy had already lined up not far away, and all kinds of siege equipment were being unloaded from the transport trucks and assembled, and said, "It's good to attack the north gate, otherwise you have to mobilize the soldiers." Mrs. Lancer, is Master Murphy ready?"

Lancer said: "Don't worry, he is already on the magic tower, and he has also followed several junior mages of the academy, and Lord Gloria has provided a high-level magic crystal for the use of the magic circle, plus Teacher Murphy's savings, he can always defeat some siege facilities." ”

Then she said to the commander of the garrison: "Disassemble the ten crossbows with a large elevation angle and transport them to the city, there is no need to guard against air horses!"

Loren didn't go with Raphael this time, she was placed with Lancer, just in case, she muttered, "What empty horseman? She was disgruntled, for Emilia had been wandering around the city, and she was always worried that the treasure would give her a black light.

Lynn smiled, "Don't be nervous, maybe Edmund won't have time to use anything, hehe! I'm ready, just in case." ”

As he spoke, he took out a formation disk and activated it, and a water mirror appeared on the array disk, and in the water mirror was Raphael's figure, and he said to the array disk: "My lord, it's almost over, they are only attacking at the north gate, and now they are assembling siege equipment, and they are expected to attack in an hour." However, my lord, I found out that there were a thousand archers on the other side. ”

Raphael in the water mirror said, "Archer, longbow or shortbow?"

Lynn said, "Short bow." ”

Raphael didn't want to test those auxiliaries, he knew very well that the auxiliaries couldn't withstand the attack, otherwise the nobles wouldn't never use ordinary people as soldiers, so he smiled: "The short bow is just fast in fire, can shoot a lot of times, and the penetration is not enough, it is used to suppress the wall, not the cavalry." I'll leave now, and you'll have half an hour at most, and I don't think that's a problem at all. ”

At this time, Luo Fei's head in the water mirror came up, and he said with a thief's eyebrows: "When we appear like a god, Edmund will be scared to death directly, wahaha!"

After Lynn closed the circle, he commanded, the wall is so wide, Edmund can only attack a section, now he wants to gather the soldiers, facing the direction of Edmund's attack, other places only need to arrange patrols to prevent stealing the city.

After Raphael finished the communication, on the plain, he divided the cavalry into two parts, one part was the main force of 2,000, responsible for the forward charge, and the other part was led by a few hundred skilled cavalry as captains.

With a shout, the whole cavalry set out, and they advanced slowly, and it took only twenty minutes to reach the river.

Now it is the early winter weather, the water flow in the river is very slow, there will be no big waves, the cavalry took out the planks and began to build a pontoon bridge on the wooden stakes in the river, so many people, the team and the garrison members who have been trained to build the bridge, more than half an hour later, the pontoon bridge was built.

Raphael was finally a little more energetic, including those who had surrendered their allegiance to him, and also felt the strength of the seven thousand cavalry, and they crossed the pontoon bridge majestically, and lined up in a charging formation, this time Valerie stood with him in the first place, because Raphael found that she was too sharp in the battle formation, and the long-chain butterfly hammer was very useful.

The soldiers were already familiar with Valery, and they were not surprised by Valery, who knew that it was a strange summoned creature of the lord.

Edmund's scout team appeared in the distance and spotted the situation.

The scouts panicked and turned their horses away, but the Oro cavalry didn't give them enough time to report the news.

The Oro cavalry followed the scouts and ran.

When the scouts saw this, they simply ran to both sides, they were going to mutiny, and they would save their lives first.

Under the aristocracy, if the subordinates are to be loyal, the lord must be very good at management, not only to ensure the interests of his cronies, but also to give other subordinates a relatively fair opportunity for development, and Edmund obviously cannot do this.

Under the walls, Edmund's army was fully deployed, with two thousand soldiers on each flank, forming a phalanx to guard against an unexpected enemy attack on the flanks.

Outside the city gates, a thousand archers lined up in three neat rows, firing in batches, suppressing the crossbow fire at the head of the wall. Hundreds of infantry rushed towards the city, with towers and shields, and long ladders with metal hooks, followed by small phalanxes of infantry.

The small phalanx consists of dozens of soldiers forming a stone turtle formation, using tower shields to protect the upper, front, left, and right sides.

Behind the archers, the ballistas had begun to roar and shoot piles of cobblestone the size of a human head, and a dozen stone ballistae with large elevation angles fired cobblestones at the entrance of the castle wall, restricting the mage from casting spells at the mouth of the fort.

Five siege towers were advancing, followed by some soldiers, and a kind of iron-roofed log cabin was laid to serve as a passage for transporting troops as long as the tower was against the wall.

In siege, crashing is always indispensable, and a crash is also advancing towards the city gate, and very quickly. Because of its dwarfness, the closer it gets to the gates, the fewer magic and arrows it can attack.

It didn't take long for the crash car to reach the city gate, and the giant hammer hanging in the car house slammed into it, but although the Oro city gate was not blocked by earth and stones, there were two pack dragons there against the city gate, completely resisting the impact of this small crash.

Outside the city, more than two dozen mages climbed the spellcasting tower, relying on the long distance of magic, taking turns to cast brilliant and deadly small magic on the wall, so that the wall sounded a popping sound from time to time.

In front of the casting tower are ten small arrow towers, and when the arrow towers are pushed closer, the soldiers on the arrow towers and the soldiers at the head of the city shoot at each other.

The soldiers on the wall of Oro are hiding in the wooden row that has been built long ago, they shoot crossbow arrows from time to time in the hole in the row, they only wait for the wooden ladder to approach before starting the real battle, the mages of Oro City also release magic in the dark fortress, mainly attacking the siege tower, and the ballista in the dark castle also began to exert power, constantly shooting terrible long arrows to attack the siege weapons in the distance.

Shouts of killing, screaming, cursing...... flooded the entire battlefield. When the wooden ladder was erected on the city wall, the sound on the battlefield became more noisy, and the axe-pushers at the head of the wall, under the cover of the warriors carrying the tower shield, desperately used the push-axe to chop the wooden ladder hook corner, and pushed down the wooden ladder, and the soldiers under the wooden ladder pulled the stable iron chain of the wooden ladder to prevent it from falling, and the soldiers below also began to kick the ladder.

The soldiers at the head of the city leaned down and smashed down one stone after another, and at the same time, if they were unlucky, they would be shot by the archers outside the city, and the screams kept ringing.

There were violent fluctuations on Murphy's magic tower in the city, and a cloud of red light covered the entire top floor, and then a huge fireball roared, spanning a long distance, and fell accurately towards a magic tower, although the fireball was already very unstable, but it could only attack this tower, but the effect was enough, the tower immediately burst into flames, and it was completely abandoned at once.

This is the fireball is the power of the magic crystal cannon, not the magic circle on the top of the building, the magic circle wants to release magic to such a long distance, the consumption is greater, it is not as good as the magic crystal cannon, it is not a crisis, Murphy does not want to use it, however, the preparation time of the magic crystal cannon is longer.

Then, another siege tower was destroyed by Aoro Mage with intermediate magic, and a moment later, a third siege tower was destroyed by the magic crystal cannon that fired twice.

The accuracy of the weapons that suppressed the mouth of the Bunker was too poor, and the mages of the casting tower were far away and were unwilling to fight the mages, and they only used the minimum power of magic to lead to this result.

Of course, mages are precious, no one wants to die easily, their pursuit is the mystery of magic, helping the nobles is more like doing some duty, all the mages in the war, have a lot of tacit actions, manifested in limited participation in the war, this situation, in the bigger the war, the more obvious it is, and the nobles know it, but they don't dare to force it.

When the remaining two siege towers avoided the entrance of the fortress and entered the dead end of the wall, Edmund's soldiers below let out a cheer, as if victory was within reach.

And this is exactly what happened.

After the siege tower lowered the bridge, Edmund's powerful warriors unleashed their fighting spirit as soon as they appeared.
