On the third day after the New Year, the Mori ** team launched an attack on the defeated city as promised.
The New Year of Peace that Duke Torch had paid for destroying 30,000 arrows had not brought much peace to the people of the city, and his actions were equivalent to announcing to the citizens the time of the siege of the city by the army of the Mori no Kuni. In this case, who else can enjoy the New Year?
Duke Torch originally thought that the Mori Kingdom would honestly besiege the city for several months, and by the way, attack the reinforced corps that came from the White Moon Country. Although the White Moon ** team is good at this kind of thing of encircling and sending reinforcements, it should be able to learn if the country of Mori is beaten too much. In order to prevent the royal court from sending the legion to the forest country to eat, the Duke of Torch sent a master to break through the siege early in the morning to send a message, so that the royal court could not move, and the two sides could compare the energy consumption of one to the other.
As a result, the Duke of Torch was completely depressed by the early morning offensive of the forest army, and they sent a large number of sappers to wave their hoes at a wall to the south, which seemed to mean to dig down the wall.
The sick princess didn't share the news she had received from the fir princess with the Duke of Torch, because it didn't make much sense. Whether she says it or not, there is only one response that Duke Torch can do in the face of this situation.
As the soldiers of the Forest Army braved the rain of arrows to rush under the tall city walls, large vats of cold water were poured down from the sky.
The current temperature of the defeated city is nearly minus fifteen, and the soil at the root of the city wall is already quite frozen under this low temperature, but now it will freeze after watering it soon, and it is even more impossible to dig it.
According to the engineering drawings of the Castle of the Defeated Army, the depth of the foundation of the city wall was definitely not something that could be dug up and collapsed by braving the rain of arrows from the enemy, and even if there was an artillery made by the technical department, it could not be bombarded.
In order to get the city wall, you must first punch holes in the wall according to certain specifications, and then fill it with a large amount of gunpowder and detonate it. The power of gunpowder was not enough to push the walls immediately, and then it was the turn of the artillery to appear.
When the sick princess got the news from the fir princess, she racked her brains and couldn't figure out a way to deal with it. It seems that the only way to stop the forest army from doing this is to open the city gates and send a few corps to fight the sāo, or even camp directly under the city to defend it.
After the non-commissioned officer students of the non-commissioned officer school became official non-commissioned officers, the twenty major regiments in the defeated city were theoretically fully equipped, and each squad could be led by a military officer. At such a ratio, the army of the forest country has not reached this level, plus the number of the White Moon ** regiment is twice that of the forest country. If the two countries face off directly, the victory rate of the White Moon Kingdom should be very high.
The torchbearer has been guarding the frontier for so long, so naturally they will not look at such useless figures to measure the military strength of the two armies. The soldiers of the forest country were hunters before joining the army, and they single-handedly chased the wolves, tigers and leopards all over the mountains all day long. And what about the White Moon Country? They are all wheat farmers. If there is a fox in the field, they can deal with it, but if there are more than two, they will have to find help.
Although these people received military training for one to two quarters after becoming soldiers, and then died several times on the battlefield, they were still chased by others when they fought against the people of Mori no Kuni, not to mention that they now had strange new weapons.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to get the Duke of Torch to open the city gate to disturb the enemy, and the drawbridge of the city gate has not been completely lowered. The ** team of the forest has already gathered together and bent the bow.
Zhou Shu, the sick princess, and the fourth knight were staying on the city wall at this time, watching the forest army below dig a hole. The three of them wore the Falcon's uniforms and defended the city wall with the Falconger.
Originally, there were more than 100,000 people in the twenty regiments in the city who were idle and had nothing to do, and there was no need to spend money on mercenaries to do this kind of work, but Miss Midali was now very talkative in front of the Duke of Torch, and took over the job very easily.
Midalie would do this because of the sick princess, and this woman wanted to try to protect this section of the city wall, and try not to make it a simple and rough white-knuckle battle. In her plan, the walls were actually undefended. When Zhou Shu heard that the country of the forest was going to engage in punching and blasting. Taken aback by the world's famous ingenuity, and offered to do it if they did. The walls are likely to be knocked down.
To stop them from destroying the walls, they had to stop them from punching holes, which meant that they had to have their army stand on the walls and throw some rolling rocks down and pray that they would hit the enemy.
The forest army was not stupid, they divided the sapper corps of 4,000 men into four lines, scattered and drilled close to the walls in turn. They weren't prepared to do all the blasts in one day. They have time and can take their time. When the time comes, if there are many holes drilled in one way, the detonator will be inserted into that road.
These 4,000 or so people were scattered under the long walls of the defeated city, which was equivalent to a few sesame seeds falling on the dining table. The soldiers stood on the wall, dragging stones in their hands, and they were a little reluctant to throw them. There are so few people below, it is too difficult to hit people, so you can only change the archers.
The shè attack of ordinary archers is too watery, and the city wall is too high, and it is very difficult to aim vertically, so the shè arrow work is handed over to the non-commissioned officers of the major legions.
The non-commissioned officers liked the work of standing on the absolutely safe city wall and firing cold arrows, and scrambled to pick up their bows and go to the city to work. These people are like children who come to the park to shoot targets, aiming and shooting, and if any of them hit the target, they have to call their friends to watch.
Since the walls were so high, the shè of the group was also not high, and the sappers all brought shields. When the sappers retreated, the more than 4,000 people were left with only a few hundred corpses under the city, and the blast holes were nearly one-third of their number.
In this way, the first day of the battle ended in victory between punching and targeting, and ended in the complete defeat of the defeated city. Not only did the defeated city have tens of thousands of holes in the city walls, but the number of arrows used on this day was also a very large number, and the most tragic thing was that the number of enemies killed was only a few hundred. According to such a ratio, the arrows currently hoarded in the defeated city are not enough to destroy a single legion of the opponent.
If the arrows run out, it means that the legions of the defeated city in the future white-knuckle battle will go to fight the old hunters of the forest country without any long-range support, which is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.
Master Zhou watched the city wall for a day with apprehension, during which a series of classmates, including Midali, Lilia, Smith, Sister Ariel, and Senior Sister An, came to his side to say hello, which was the first class reunion after the year.
The little girl Lilia held the Coke bow given to her by Zhou Shu, and only took ten heads in a day. Midali was a little better, and exploded twelve heads with a Coke shotgun.
The luckiest one was Alice, who and Nem bet that Midali would kill more than Lilia, and won ten Full Moon Coins from him.
It is no longer a secret that the Coke shotgun was completely exposed among this group of people through this day's actual combat. Fortunately, everyone has forgotten about the head shot of the Chancellor's son, otherwise it would be a little unclear. (To be continued......)
