1009. Breaking the city

The trumpet of the siege sounded at that moment of dawn......

Forty siege engines were launched at the same time, surrounded by thousands of shield warriors with shields in high aloft in their arms.

A group of archers stood on siege engines, each with a shield warrior in front of him to help him stop the rain of arrows, and they stood on the siege engine to shoot at the defenders of Hatangada.

No one shouted, dense arrows clanged when they fell on the armor, and the warriors had visors on their helmets, and these ordinary swordsmen did not do much damage to the hoplites.

The moment the siege vehicle crashed into the city walls, the real battle began.

The guards at the head of the city began to pour fire oil on the siege engines, throwing firescale bullets, and countless spears piercing out of the battlements to prevent the hoplites from reaching the top of the city.

At this time, the hoplites could only rush up with their shields shoulder to shoulder......

It's a game of the brave.

The soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment of Surdak are the foundation of the rebel army, they have experienced more difficult battles than this, they are not afraid of death, countless heavy infantry soldiers rushed to the siege engine......

……

The two-headed ogre was covered in ice armor and carried two large wooden barrels on his shoulders. And the legs rushed forward.

A group of hoplite soldiers was left far behind him......

The magician threw fireballs into the walls in mid-air at the head of the city, so that the archers hid in the towers and did not dare to escape

When they were still more than thirty meters away from the city, Brain Flower shouted to Gullitham: "Good brother, the distance is almost there, I'm ready to light a fire!" ”

Gulit lifted the barrel, and the palm of Brainflower's hand condensed into a flame, and the moment the barrel was thrown, Brainflower ignited the fuse on the oak barrel, and the barrel spun in the air and flew towards the city gate, and the ogre turned and fell to the ground.

There was a clattering bang on the city gate, but there was no expected explosion, and the fusing fuse slammed against the wall, and the fuse went out......

The two-headed ogre got up from the ground, a little sluggish, and didn't understand why it didn't explode.

"Come again!"

Gulitham shouted.

Countless arrows rained down on him, but they were all blocked by the ice armor, and only a few of them were lucky enough to pierce the ice armor and stick into his granite body.

This time he brought two oak barrels and one by his side......

A bed crossbow sneaked around, and the magician in the air had already noticed it, and just as the bed crossbow operator secretly shook the winch, the magician rode the magic crossbow and dived down, dropping a large fireball at the bed crossbow.

Instantaneous flames enveloped the bed crossbow......

The biggest weakness of this bed crossbow is that it is not fire-resistant, the whole bed crossbow is wooden, and the fireball explodes, and the flames engulf the bed crossbow.

At this moment, the two-headed ogre threw the barrel out again, and then stood in place, watching the barrel fly towards the city gate to see if it could be blown up......

The moment the barrel touched the city gate, the flames contracted violently and gushed......

The two-headed ogre suddenly sensed the imminent danger in his heart at the moment before the final explosion, and he slammed into the ground without any hesitation.

A wave of wild thrust and heat rushed in.

Pushing the two-headed ogre out more than ten meters away, it fell to the ground, and the thick layer of ice armor on its body was completely shattered.

Gulitham got up from the ground, dusted the dirt off his body, and turned his head to look at the city gate.

I saw that the iron-clad gate at the gate of the city had been blown apart, and a column of heavily armored warriors with shields had rushed into the gate.

The two-headed ogre saw that there was nothing missing from him, and immediately rushed towards the gate with a large stick.

He didn't want this siege to affect his lunch.

……

No sooner had Sellers taken the southern wall than he saw an overwhelming number of hoplite soldiers climbing up the wall along the siege engine.

There was an earth-shattering bang at the gate not far away, and one of the arrow towers at the gate collapsed, and the entire gate was blown apart, and the magicians were still flying arrogantly in the air.

Fighting with the Wizards Guild was, in Cyrus's opinion, the stupidest decision the MacDonnell family ever made.

The big man with two heads on top of the crowd was already blocking the city gate, and no one could stop the big stick in his hand.

Cyrus was followed by a group of noble lords who were privately armed, and before Cyrus could give the order, these warriors were stimulated by the atmosphere on the battlefield, and they took up their weapons one after another, bypassing Cyrus and rushing towards the fierce battle area at the head of the city.

……

As the heavy infantry regiment entered the town of Hatangada, the light cavalry and the city defenders immediately engaged in a life-and-death street battle with the heavy infantry.

In this siege, the magicians played a crucial role.

All the bed crossbows at the head of the city were completely silent, and the archers on the city walls wanted to shoot down the mages with magic shields with bows and arrows, but they were not marksmen, and they did not have strong bows in their hands to break the shields, so there was nothing they could do about the mages.

Samira rushed up the wall from the ladder of the siege engine, and she was followed by a group of archers, who quickly captured the turret on the part of the siege engine.

Samira was dressed in fiery red leather armor and stood on the roof of the arrow tower, and a phantom of the elf Windranger dozens of meters tall appeared behind her, holding a heavenly strike bow filled with the power of countless thunderbolts in her hand.

In doing so, Samira is actually a bit unreasonable.

It was completely with the breath of a second-turn powerhouse to forcibly suppress the entire battlefield, Seeing her lord army of the Great Elf Phantom, how could she have the courage to continue fighting......

Samira fires several arrows in succession, helping the warriors on the front line to kill their opponents.

Sometimes it is clear that the opponent slashes at the sword, and the heavy infantry warrior is about to die in a pool of blood, at this time, an arrow flies from the sky, the light helmet is like paper paste, the arrow passes through the helmet, the blood gushes out, and the lord army soldier holding the long sword falls straight down.

Even the magicians flying in the sky felt the powerful aura of the half-elf archers, and they all flew around her.

……

The personal armies of the noble lords in the town joined the battle, and their biggest characteristic was that they were well-equipped and had good personal combat strength, but they lacked cooperation and the courage to fight.

Once dispersed by the gathered hoplite warriors, it is difficult to have the courage to fight again.

This group was originally employed by the local noble lords, and they went to war to defend their homeland, and they had the courage to face the rebels, but it did not mean that they were willing to fight against the Bena coalition.

When they found out that these hoplite infantry soldiers were so well equipped, they had a question in their hearts, when did the rebel army become so well equipped with weapons?

By the time they noticed the mage flying around in the sky, the well-informed warrior quickly understood.

Where are these rebels, these fighters are clearly the Bena coalition army!

After these fighters discovered the true identity of the heavy infantry regiment, they immediately lost their fighting spirit, what else is this fighting!

What if you win?

Is it really going to be wanted by the whole province of Bena?

Is it really safe to hide in this plane?

The Bena coalition didn't turn around and bring people to kill......

The best way to face this kind of war is to stay away.

Wherever you hide, it's better than staying here.

So the personal armies of these noble lords appeared at the head of the city for only a few minutes, and then all of them ran away.

This group of people was almost the first to bring the news of the city to the noble lords of the town.

The aristocrats fled the town of Hatangada like they were infected with a contagion, and at first there were only one or two, and now the whole rich district is fleeing.

Surdak's heavy infantry corps did not besiege the city, and the nobles fled through the northern gates.

……

Under the onslaught of the heavy infantry wave after wave, the forces that Sellers had placed on the city walls were completely scattered, and he had no choice but to retreat to the town with the light cavalry regiment and engage in street battles with the soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment.

He looked up at the bell tower in the town center square, expecting the infantry of the Second Legion to arrive in time for the town of Hatangada.

It was already noon, and the walls and gates of the southern city were completely lost.

But if the Legion's infantry arrives from the northern city, he still has a chance to recapture the town of Hatangada......

Cyrus was forced back by his guards, and in front of him were two shield warriors holding shields to protect him, and he was already targeted by the strong archer at the head of the city, who had already shot down seven shield warriors protecting Cyrus.

The rangers and assassins who tried to get around and kill any of the archers failed to return.

The cronies could only pull Sellers to the rear......

……

After daybreak, Surdak and six thousand hoplites and five hundred swordsmen in armor arrived at the pass north of the town of Hatangada, almost a quarter of an hour ahead of the infantry regiment of the Second Legion.

Not long after they took the pass, they saw a black oppressive infantry appear in the northern wilderness.

But at this time, the flag of the Bena coalition was already flying at the highest point of the mountain pass......

The infantry regiment was stopped outside the mountain pass north of the town, and the commander of the infantry regiment, Lorenzo. Congreeve received an urgent letter from Sellers last night.

In fact, he also set out two hours early, hoping to reach the town of Hatangada at noon.

They could imagine that the town of Hatangada would be in a very difficult situation after losing the heavy cavalry regiment, and Lorenzo couldn't even figure out how the 3,000-strong heavy cavalry would be gone......

Actually, he didn't know that Cyrus. McDonnell couldn't figure it out just like him.

In order to be able to get to the town of Hatangada in advance, Lorenzo. Congreif even left a large number of baggage wagons on the road, leaving some of his men to walk slowly behind, and the main force went directly into the town of Hatangada.

Unfortunately, less than ten kilometers away from the town of Hatangada, he saw the flag of the Bena coalition fluttering in the wind.

Lorenzo. Congreve stood on the chariot and raised his arms high to stop the advancing army.

He never imagined that the opposing officer would be so bold as to dare to intersperse the army into the northern area of Hatangada Town.

If this strategic intent is discovered by the light cavalry in Hatangada, it only takes a thousand light cavalry to use wolf pack tactics to tear this heavy infantry regiment to the bone......

However, there is another explanation, that is, the current situation in the town of Hatangada is precarious, and there is not even a thousand light cavalry......
