Chapter 039: Siege

Banger, once an ordinary and peaceful village, backed by the Kendi Mountains, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, lack of wealth, and more than enough food and clothing. The www.biquge.info is only 100 kilometers from the city of Palermo, but few travelers pass through.

50 years ago, the Sith Empire attacked Palermo and captured it. As a necessary place to pass from the Sith to Palermo, it gathered a lot of popularity due to the large number of merchants, and gradually became rich, forming a large town.

It was later occupied by the Romander Confederation. Palermo was cut off from frequent commercial contacts with the Sith Empire, and it was slightly depressed.

However, its special geographical location, high in the north and low in the south, is valued by the Romandel Federation. It was transformed into a military town to resist the Sith Empire's advance into Palermo, with a permanent garrison of 10,000 troops!

After 50 years of operation, Banger has become a valuable silver, although it has become a jadeite. Mercenaries and caravans from other places were constantly coming, and there was no lack of excitement in the solemnity.

Now, it's extremely miserable!

Banners fluttered on the 10-meter-high city wall, and groups of soldiers frequently patrolled back and forth. The afterglow is not over, the world is clear, but the 6-meter-high gate is closed, and there is no traveler in the city who wants to enter the city.

The ground in front of the city is full of potholes and patches of blood red, telling the cruelty of the war. Several figures in black robes kept shuttling there, as if they were collecting something.

Inside the city, there was a depression. Doors were closed, windows were closed, and the wide road was empty, with only groups of soldiers walking back and forth.

The weather is unpredictable, and the wind and rain change suddenly. In the darkness the wind hunted and the rain poured. It is like the sorrow of the heavens, washing away their sins and washing away their filthy bodies that have been defiled and defiled.

The night is hidden, the dawn is now, the earth is clear, and there is no trace of blood. At the same time, another war began.

After the reorganization of the 20,000-strong army, it was once again overwhelmed.

The shield soldiers are in front, the bows and arrows are followed, the spearmen are protected, the cavalry is pressed behind, and the siege equipment is slowly advancing!

"Don't be surprised!" said a man in silver armor who was not surprised, but sneered.

Next to him, a tall, slightly thin gentleman in golden armor had a slightly furrowed brow. Compared with yesterday's collapse, they have completely regained their confidence today, and it is not easy to fight! Sure enough, the strong man sitting in the town seemed to have sensed it and flew directly into the distance.

The besieged general, who was already a little worried, had been closely observing the mysterious powerhouse of the other party. At this time, I suddenly felt a lot more relieved. After a slight adjustment, the siege order was given. But his heart didn't dare to relax at all. If you can't say it, the strong man will suddenly kill back, and he is ready to run away at any time!

Woo woo ~ ~

Knock knock~~

The horns and drums are contending, and the war begins.

Before they could get closer, thousands of arrows rained down, and magic filled the sky and wailed. Some fell, but many more came up.

The large magic crossbow is like the scythe of death, harvesting several or even a dozen lives with every swing. The magic in the sky is like a cannonball, baptizing every foot of the battlefield. The land was devastated as far as the eye could see, but only a few traces of the walls remained.

In a few moments, corpses were everywhere, and more than a thousand lives were plundered.

But that's just the beginning.

The closer you are, the more magic you can use. Overwhelming magic flew back and forth, bombarding every inch of the battlefield over and over again. Death rose rapidly, and the fearless soldiers sprouted fear! But they could not retreat, the glory of the soldiers did not allow it, their own commanders did not allow it, and the safety of their families did not allow it. From the moment they stepped into the battlefield, they regarded themselves as dead people, and rushed forward with thoughts and blessings for their brothers, parents, wives and children, so that at least they could have a good future.

Come on!!

Thousands of lives have been harvested! Magic has run out, and the real war has just begun!

Siege ladders and door-breaking cannons were pushed forward. A large number of swordsmen, shields in one hand and swords in the other, charged upward, and the arrows were constantly covering.

The sky rained stones, and the earth trembled. Some of them fell, but some of them were spared, rushed up, and fought hand-to-hand.

The fluctuating gate of the flickering magic dimmed in the bombardment, but it did not fail.

At this time, the mocking man was frightened in his heart, and said with an anxious face, "Lord Earl, Lord Gerald has not returned for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hold Banger!"

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" the gentleman's man's tone was unquestionable, but his eyes were full of worry. Compared with dying in battle, he was more worried about missing. That makes him how to face his majesty. For two hours, Lord Gerald did not return, I am afraid that he has met an opponent.

People of his level, when they meet opponents, they can't tell the winner in a short time. But the gentleman man had 1 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and in only two hours, nearly 2,000 men were killed and wounded, how could he hold Banger for four days?

The gentleman's heart was gloomy, but he didn't give up. Then he said, "Aren't we short of men? Go and bring men to the city to recruit soldiers." ”

"This ......" mocked the man hesitated, using them to die faster.

The gentleman man immediately understood his concern, and explained, "Gather their wives and children together, and appoint special care, for fear that they will rebel!"

"Yes!" the mocker quickly left.

Compared to the previous magic crossbow, although it is more intense now, the casualties are much smaller. From the point of view of physical strength, it is estimated that the other party will have to collect his troops and rest and prepare again. At the same time, I also have time to rest and prepare.

Unlike the gentleman's man's worries, the general of the attacking side was also nervous all day. The siege strength is sufficient, and some rules are missing, so the effect is naturally worse.

In the end, after leaving behind more than 10,000 corpses, the two sides beat the drums and collected their troops. According to statistics, the defenders suffered 4,000 casualties and the besiegers suffered 7,000 casualties. Up to half of the forces on both sides can be mobilized.

Despite the heavy casualties, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The defenders are glad to hold on, and after joining the new force tomorrow, the natural pressure is greatly reduced. The attacking side was happy that the opponent's fresh forces were greatly consumed, and with the arrival of reinforcements tomorrow, the next battle would naturally be much easier.

Unbeknownst to them, a more brutal battle awaited them.

In the evening, the black-robed figures appeared on the battlefield again, and left silently until midnight.

Light drives away darkness, but it can't drive away blood and cruelty.

The trumpets sound again, and the drums of war sound again!

The mage regained his mental powers, and the crossbow reinstalled the arrows.

The 40,000 elite army came directly to the city, and the black pressure was even worse than yesterday. On the wall stood rows of shivering ordinary poor people, but their eyes were full of determination.

Looking at the figure, Sirio hesitated, but he had no choice, his time was running out.

This is where the tragic tug-of-war begins, with endless wailing, casualties, and the sky losing its brilliance before you know it.

In the end, it ended with 20,000 dead and wounded, and it was another painful and desperate day.

Those who survived, but no one was happy, how long could they survive such high casualties?
