The remnants of the sun were like blood, and outside the gates of Kislev, corpses were piled up. Allied forces from the North, South, Blackhammer, Erengrad, and other places, led by lords Leonid and Edmund, laid siege to the city of Kislev for several days.

They were on the verge of success, with a coalition force of 60,000 men, and convoys carrying supplies on the North-South Highway coming and going every day like a moving ant colony. And the defenders of the city of Kislev were less than a thousand people. However, the city's walls and defensive towers are so tall and strong. So much so that siege towers could not be built so high.

They had to cover the siege caravans with catapults and crossbow arrows, and the gates were knocked out of the pits, but they still didn't collapse. The soldiers defending the city did not know how many stones and debris were piled up inside, and almost the entire city gate was sealed.

Countless soldiers died on the siege ladder. They tried to sneak over the city walls by night raids, open the gates, and let the large army enter the city. But it still failed, the defenders were so vigilant, and the patrol soldiers passed seamlessly, leaving the coalition forces with no chance.

"We must step up the siege!"

The lords of Leonid and Edmund agreed again. It was decided to launch a large-scale general offensive the next day.

Of course, the intentions of the two were by no means the same, and Edmund was anxious to take the city because the queen of the city, Dennis, was under siege, the daughter of the Great Lord of the North, Rod, and Edmund was single-minded in trying to rescue her. Leonid's intention was to take advantage of this rare opportunity of the meeting of the northern and southern armies to take Kislev in one fell swoop, and directly replace the tsar if he had the opportunity.

In any case, although the two have different motives, they act the same.

At dawn, a large number of siege weapons reappeared outside the city of Kislev. On the plain, 50,000 soldiers lined up in a neat formation, under the cover of catapults, slowly approaching the city.

The commander of the garrison roared, revealing a terrifying countenance. He recruited almost all the available troops, expanding the garrison from 900 men to 3,000 in just two days. Most of these soldiers are reservists, still in the training period, and have no actual combat experience. However, the tall and sturdy walls kept them from being so fearful.

Burning stone projectiles whizzed overhead, striking the walls with terrifying force. The defenders held their ground –

"Ready, aim!"

From the tower, Commander Montans screamed loudly.

The crossbowmen poked their crossbows out of the battlements of the wall, keeping an eye on the direction of the besieging army.

"Shoot!"

With the order of the commander-in-chief Munstan, a dense array of arrows flew down from the city wall and shot at the Kislev North-South coalition army that was approaching the city wall.

The soldiers in the front row immediately raised their shields, but the crossbows were so powerful that they fired condescendingly, so that some arrows even pierced the wooden shields and pinned the soldiers' wrists to the shields.

The screams suddenly continued.

However, the besieging forces, under Edmund's personal command, soon counterattacked the defenders. Shield carts were pushed up, and behind these tall shield carts were rows of archers.

This was the final assault, and they had to exhaust all the arrows and ammunition to cover the soldiers as they ascended the walls.

A dense rain of arrows shot from behind the shield cart, forming a rain of arrows that fell on the defenders on the city walls.

Although the power of the arrows fired from under the walls was cut in half, they would still be injured if they fell on the defenders and were not defended.

The soldiers had to hide under their shields and under stone walls to avoid the rain of arrows.

Taking advantage of the gap between the defenders to avoid danger, the siege army launched a fierce attack, and the assault troops braved the enemy's arrows and stones, quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, and set up the siege ladder.

Thousands of soldiers began to climb the walls along the tall ladders, however, the defenders soon threw down the stones and miscellaneous debris that had been prepared.

A scream rang out, and the siege soldiers who climbed the ladder shed blood under the walls of Kislev. The siege slingers were still throwing stones, and the burning stone projectiles hit the city wall one after another, and the huge impact force smashed the city wall into cracks.

However, the outer walls of Kislev, built 100 years ago, are so strong that they have stood still under the indiscriminate bombardment of the besieging army. You must know that the construction of the walls of Kislev City was originally built according to the standards of preventing the invasion of Chaos. The walls were built five years after the end of the Third Chaos Invasion, and the horrors of the war were still fresh in people's minds, and the project was treated as a national priority. The height of the city wall is twice as high as that of the average city wall. The besieging army was like ants under this cliff defense, and could only gather under the city wall, but could not shake half of it.

As with countless previous skirmishes, the large army was about to capture the tower, only to be defeated halfway through. Underneath the ladder, the mangled corpses of the soldiers were piled up. Most of them were hit by heavy objects and their heads were bleeding and unrecognizable.

"Pour oil!"

In the place where the siege forces were most concentrated, the commander of the garrison, Munstan, gave the order for a fire attack.

Edmund's face turned blue, and he knew what was about to happen after countless battles. Immediately ordered the troops to evacuate.

But it's too late, the crowded battlefield, it takes time for orders to be delivered, and it takes even more time for evacuation.

I saw a pot of hot oil poured towards the city under the operation of the defenders.

The siege soldiers who were climbing the ladder instantly slipped and fell off the ladder. However, this was far from the end! as the hot oil fell, torches were thrown from above the walls......

Flames suddenly rose into the sky, like demons, and swept through the front positions of the entire siege force.

The northern soldiers gathered under the city suddenly turned into burning men one by one, and heart-rending screams came and went......

Countless soldiers were trampled to death by their companions. The sky was filled with sparks, the walls were blackened, and the heat wave hit so that the siege troops in the back were afraid to move forward, and they all wondered if the battle was still necessary.

"We can't fight like this anymore! The morale of the army will collapse!"

Lord Edmund rode his horse to the backfield and consulted with Leonid. He commanded the great armies of the north, while the troops of the southern lords were led by Leonids. They have to agree before they can decide what to do next.

It's just that Leonid clearly didn't want to give up.

"If you hold on a little longer, the enemy will crumble! They are few in number, and they have long been exhausted by our beatings. Order the reserves to press again! This is our last chance, we must take the city before dark!"

Leonid retorted.

"Do you want the soldiers to die in vain? In the past week, more than 2,000 soldiers have died in this siege battle, and today, I don't know how many more lives will be buried!"

Edmund roared loudly. His face was covered in sweat and blood, reflecting the oil in the bleak sun.

Leonid was about to retort when suddenly, a terrifying voice came from the sky. Everyone heard it, and the sound was not an ordinary bird, but like a ......
