Chapter 26: The First Taste (7)

The elven barracks are full of torches for lighting. Soldiers were constantly patrolling, and each step towards the center became more and more guarded.

After listening to the reports of the soldiers who had stormed the walls, Coyle realized that the armor of Wayne's troops was so strong. Some soldiers said that they couldn't even stab the armor four or five times, although it was a little exaggerated, when the armor on the opposite side was strong, it was certain, otherwise they would have had lunch in Helan City today.

However, no matter how strong the armor on the opposite side is, it can't withstand the strength of his own troops. From what the soldiers had heard, Coyle knew that some of them had almost touched the artillery today.

In the end, he was cut back by a general with a big knife on the opposite side. It seems that tomorrow if we take over the effort, we will be able to capture Helan. Today's attack was accompanied by a deliberate attempt to destroy the earthen city wall. Tomorrow continues the intensity of today's offensive!

Coyle said to the two messengers next to him.

"Goldman, two Ekmu, I'm not wrong, you heard it just now, and you saw it today. It would be significant for us to capture Helan if we got that cannon and the technology to craft the armor. This will be an immeasurable benefit to the whole of Stuyard. ”

The two messengers nodded approvingly.

The older one spoke.

"If Lord Coyle can capture Heran tomorrow, then he can march on Nolan. When the time comes, I can also get more troops for Lord Coyle. ”

Coyle was disgruntled.

"I don't know why, so many troops are invested in the black chess city. I think that if the black chess level is handed over to me, it will be more than 100,000. ”

The younger Goldman spoke.

"Khoir, don't be arrogant, you haven't even attacked Herlan City now!, and the reason why you brought so many troops is to prevent Rune from counterattacking later, you don't know this. ”

Coyle has only restrained a bit, and he is now curious about what other hole cards Wayne has on the other side.

Black Chess City.

The blood stains on General Willier's body had not yet dried, and he patrolled the city walls with the smell of blood. This black chess city, which is known as the world's first Xiongguan, relies on the geographical advantage of the city wall and is more than 20 meters high from the ground. Coupled with the long-term operation, there are countless catapults and huge crossbows to defend the city.

In the past, Stuyard did not stay in the black chess city for long, and generally bypassed the black chess city to go to the city of Vasser to plunder the population. Since only small forces can be sent to loot continuously, the danger is still under control.

I don't know what Stuyard is crazy about this time, not only the army is overwhelming, but there are six magicians I have seen so far. There is also an earth magician who has built a slope. The elf, who was supposed to climb more than 20 meters, now climbs along the slope and then sets up a ladder to arrive. The black chess market has lost most of its geographical advantages.

In particular, the rain of arrows originally had a height difference of more than 20 meters. During the siege, the elves' arrows could not be shot, and the elves lost their greatest protection. Now the difference in height is five or six meters, which is within the range of the elves' bows and arrows, and the army on the city wall is overwhelmed for a while.

The most obvious thing is that this time the elves are almost all elites, the attack is orderly, and the retreat is not muddy. On the city wall, it is extremely fierce, even if you are dying, you will be pulled off the city wall. All of them are equipped with armor, and even the knife is better than their own.

Now Willier estimates that if there is no support, he will hold out for half a month at most. When the time comes, you will have to find a way to break through the siege, and the Stuyad army that came this time is too strong, and you need to rely on the strength of other great nobles. When the time comes, find a way to hold on to Wasser City.

Thinking about it, Nolan is not having a good time there now, and he has heard some news about it. Said that Wayne's kid is actively preparing for war, and there is a secret weapon. It is estimated that he can withstand for a while, but in the end it is estimated that he will have to retreat, and he doesn't believe that the elves will send elite troops against him.

But even as he prepared to retreat, the famously fierce General Willier decided to nibble on a few pieces of Stuyard's flesh in the Black Chess City.

The moon traveled through the night's clouds, occasionally leaking a little light on the faces of soldiers who had been sleeping after a tired day.

The command room was brightly lit.

Wayne and his party were discussing how to get the most out of Medina, and with Medina Wayne they were able to solve a firepower blind spot - under the city walls.

Although there are grenades, the power of black powder is really touching, and if you increase the weight, it will cause damage to the city wall, and the gains outweigh the losses.

With Medina, it's easy to do it, and tomorrow burn the monkeys to death.

Finally, there are the guards of each section of the city wall, which weak point needs to be strengthened, and which troops need to be replaced, all need to be decided tonight.

In the end, there is a big problem, the wall wall has been made a gap by the elves, if it can't be filled. The soldiers there lost the cover of the battlements and were easily hit by arrows.

Wayne thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good idea. Instead, Besson came up with a feasible suggestion.

"Pour oil around there, light a fire, and see when the elves dare to wave from there. Anyway, there are only ten days left, and it is estimated that the city wall will burn until then. ”

Balder and Wayne nodded, thinking it would work.

There is also a cannon explode, so you can only put a small dose of black powder later. Now there is no point in pursuing a large range, as long as you can hit the elf-dense area.

That's pretty much what the three of them discussed all night. In fact, these things can't affect the overall situation, for example, regardless of the damaged city wall, it's a big deal to send a few more soldiers, and the artillery will lose ten artillery pieces.

However, this is why those mediocre generals who are troublesome will not do it, and every time a measure is implemented that may reduce casualties, more lives can be saved. Accumulating a small amount may be the key to the success or failure of a war.

Of course, the enemy is not stupid, and Coyle is also improving his tactics for tomorrow.

In the quiet of the night, the snoring came and went, accompanied by the last few lights extinguished. Night came with true silence, heralding tomorrow's blood-red slaughter.

In a blink of an eye, it ushered in the day, which no one wants to face.

The Black Chess City was attacked an hour earlier than the Helan City, and the enemy attacked from all sides. The ignited fireballs were constantly thrown by catapults and exploded. In an instant, the surrounding soldiers turned into burning men, rolling and screaming.

Troubadours will also preach that those who have experienced the battlefield smell nothing but blood and gunsmoke. What makes them most memorable is the smell of human flesh being roasted. Some people have also studied that the taste of roasted human flesh is no different from that of roasted pork. But those who have been on the battlefield can tell the difference.

An unknown soldier once said that roasted human flesh smelled of burning souls.

Of course, this is mostly made up by troubadours, in order to make a few more money.
