Chapter 202: The Battle of Clay

The sky was unusually blurry, as if sleepy eyes were hazy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Pitch-black clouds surround the majestic walls of Clay City. Only above Clay City, there was only a single piece of blue sky left.

This is the seventh day of the siege of Clay City. The defenders of Clay City, whose faces were covered in mud and blood, hurriedly rested against the battlements full of corpses at this time, taking advantage of the gap before the enemy's next layer of charge.

They looked up at the sky, at the last blue sky above them. They knew it was Flobella, the goddess of justice, protecting them. And the dark sky outside the city that flashed with this yellow lightning had already become the territory of the Calamity Demon God Fatai.

But this blue sky did not give the soldiers of Idilis and Clay any hope of victory. They looked under the city walls, and the demon army flowed like a flood under the city.

The war drums of the orc armies are trying to break the will of these human defenders every second. The kobolds sang squeaky songs and hung strings of human ears from the spears. Stone giants are holding huge hammers and repairing even larger catapults.

And farther away on the plains, more demon reserve armies are gathering. They knew there would be a fiercer defensive battle in the future.

"How many arrows do we have?" said Joseph, with his sword, standing at the gate to inspect the garrison.

George the big nose replied, "There are less than 10,000 left." But the elite archers have been wiped out, and now they are all replaced by militia archers. ”

Joseph sighed heavily. They are now like rotten wooden houses on the coast, and the demon army is like a vicious tide, mercilessly beating them on the crumbling ground.

Joseph asked, "Is there any news of the princess and Lance?"

The big-nosed George shook his head: "No, we are surrounded and have no knowledge of the outside world. And the army of the demons doesn't seem to be decreasing. ”

Joseph looked at the demon army under the city and said: "I can only continue to hold on, the agreed time is a month, we still have 23 days to hold on, this is just the beginning." ”

Suddenly, the terror trumpet sounded again from the city. At this moment, there were several hissing noises in the sky. The demon catapult turned again. Once again, the stones of the whole day smashed into the walls of Clay City, and the walls continued to fall off the stones under the heavy impact. But it never collapsed.

The soldiers defending the city hid in the battlements, holding their heads to hide. There was no initial fear on their faces, only indifferent calmness. This is the 31st time in seven days that they have been attacked by catapults.

After an hour, the catapult attack stopped.

Joseph shook the dirt off his body, stood up and said, "It seems that the demons have finished playing these few tricks. Soldiers, pick up your swords! We have defended 31 sieges. Afraid of his 32nd siege?"

As he spoke, the soldiers stood at home one after another, and after patting the dirt off their bodies, they looked at the bottom of the city wall with the seriousness and murderous aura of soldiers.

There were more and more orc soldiers in front of them, and the huge siege bridge was slowly pushed forward by the giants. Prepare to build a bridge over the moat once again.

When the siege bridge reached the moat of Clay City, there was a "clang", and the huge wooden bridge fell, and the moat suddenly changed its path.

Then the soldiers of the demon clan burst in like wolves, and suddenly the siege bridge was crowded with people, and the water was impassable.

Joseph ordered the bridge hammer to be released, and the soldiers cut the rope of the bridge hammer with a single sword. Suddenly, with a violent whistling sound, the bridge-breaking hammer fell rapidly from above the city gate, and with a "cave rumbling", the huge bridge-breaking hammer was smashed into two sections, and countless demon soldiers were smashed into flesh and blood, and more fell into the moat.

The human soldiers at the gates cheered and admired the beauty of the violence. But Joseph's face did not relax. Because this is just a siege bridge.

On the 3-kilometer moat to the south, there are nearly 100 identical siege bridges of the demons.

The orcs and kobold legions had already mostly passed through the narrow bridge deck. Attack towards the South Gate. As far as the eye could see, Joseph could no longer see a single clearing. It's all crowded demon soldiers.

Then the siege ladder was erected. The two sides began to engage in a bloody battle on the city walls. The human soldiers poured buckets of pitch-black butter down the top of the siege ladder and lit the flames. In an instant, the ladder was like a lit torch, igniting a raging fire. The demon soldiers who were still climbing were screaming as they were burned. In a short time, the city wall was almost covered with ladders burning with flames.

However, the speed at which the human soldiers poured oil was not as fast as the speed at which the demon soldiers could build ladders. Soon the battle advanced to the city walls.

This moment is the real battle, swords fighting, blood spraying everywhere. This moment is only valuable to the living. Those who died were ruthlessly thrown off the walls, whether they were human or demon servants.

The soldiers of Idiris, who had been fighting for seven days, were exhausted today. The once sharp blade of the sword has been cut to a dull point. It's like fighting with an iron bar. And they simply did not have time to sharpen their swords.

"Joseph! Joseph, the East City is almost unbearable!" At this moment, the blood-covered "Bald Knight" Old Tullius ran in the distance, and he brandished his long sword and shouted: "Tell George and them to go to the East City!"

"Okay!" Joseph cut off the head of a kobold, then turned around and grabbed the big-nosed George who was fighting behind him and said, "George, you go to the West City Reserve, let Taranto and they lead 50 Star Knights to support the East Gate!

"Yes!" replied in a loud voice at once, "I'll go!"

Today, there is only Clay City, where there is fighting on three sides, and only the north side shows no sign of attack.

And this north is deliberately left by the demons, hoping that the army defending the city will give up resistance and escape from the north. This will allow you to take Clay City.

But Joseph had already decreed that if anyone escaped through the north gate, the five horses would be divided.

Persistently, Joseph is clear about his present mission. Clay City has become a visible salient on the entire front. Facing the danger of being surrounded at any time.

But he couldn't retreat. Because he knew that he was attracting the attention of his enemies and seeking a detour for Lance and Princess Eve. It was even more in response to the front of the surprise attack force after their victory.

If they retreated at this point, it would mean that Lance and Eve's surprise army would be completely trapped in the rear and encirclement of the enemy. There was no chance of escape.

The desperate resistance of the human defenders shocked the generals of the demon race. Originally, they did not encounter any major resistance along the way. But this time, the human army went crazy. Completely ignoring the battle damage, just to hold the city.

Gradually, the 32nd siege of the demons was broken. The orc and kobold armies were demoralized and routed by the slaughtered troops. Once again, Clay City escaped the crisis. (To be continued.) )
