Chapter 429: Fierce Battle (1)
Twenty catapults, loaded with stones, began to throw stones at the walls of Datu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Most of the info slammed into the walls, crashing into the walls and rolling to the ground, and four or five of them fell to the city.
The knights drew their weapons and slashed down the flying stones, which by the time they landed, they were almost rubble.
Gallup's Third Legion, under Kennelly's command, marched in an orderly manner, the leading sergeants speeding toward the walls with huge shields, and the soldiers behind them holding their shields aloofed in one hand and carrying the ladder in the other.
In the middle of the procession, a battering ram about forty meters long, pushed by thirty orcs, slowly advanced towards the gate of Datu City.
It was the first time Bede had seen such a huge battering ram. If it were an ordinary city, it would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of this battering ram. However, the city is called Datu, and it is the most fortified city in Madij outside of Monhe, and due to Zephnaia's presence, Datu is perhaps the most difficult city to attack in the area controlled by Quintina. As for the city gate, where the city wall is weakest, it has long been piled up with huge stones and mixed with the city wall. Unless the walls of Datul are washed down, this is almost impossible.
"Archer prepare!"
Bede shouted loudly, and the archers in front of him pointed their bows at the advancing enemy. When they were in range of the bow and arrow, Bede shouted, "Shoot the arrows!"
At the moment of Bede's order, almost all of the arrows had already left the string.
At a glance, the arrows filled the sky like yellow sand.
Although the soldiers of the Third Legion had shields as a block, a large number of arrows still shot through the gaps between the shields and pierced the soldiers' bodies.
Gradually, the orc's ram caught up with the soldiers in the front row. A tall orc held a two-meter-long shield high above his head, and hundreds of soldiers on either side of him raised shields of the same size, close to each other, covering the sky above and covering the huge battering ram towards the city gate quickly.
As the soldiers of the Third Legion were held back by their bows and arrows, the orc siege army maintained its original speed, slowly overtaking the soldiers on both sides and becoming the convex front of the entire siege team.
When Seramo saw his team rushing to the front, his tense face instantly smiled, he looked at the commanders on both sides, and said triumphantly: "It's not that I said you, the siege still depends on us! Look, when I break open the city gate, you can follow me to drink soup." ”
Almost all of the other legion commanders looked at each other with pitiful eyes.
"This dirt bun, thinking that he has broken through the gates of several cities, began to see no one in his eyes, hehe. This city is no better than other cities, even after so many years, the original head of the Royal Knights is one of the strongest people in the entire Ramir Continent. How could the city he was guarding be so easily breached by you?"
Most of the legionnaires thought so, except for Kennelly, who had a very bad face. Yesterday, he had already boasted about Haikou at the meeting, but he didn't expect to be directly pressed as soon as he came up, which was simply a slap in the face.
Kennelly has been trying to find a way to change this unfavorable situation, but he has not thought of anything for a while.
The charging orc legion also caught Bede's attention, and he spat out the straw in his mouth, took a bow and arrow from the hand of one of the knights, and hurried to the top of the city gate to shoot at the orc legion.
The speed of the arrow flying star was extremely fast, and the surrounding air currents rotated with each other, wrapped around the surface of the arrow, and rushed straight towards the orc who rushed to the front.
Boom!
The speeding arrow slammed into the shield with a crisp sound. After the arrow flew away from the shield, the shield made of fine iron left a huge dent. The orc's body suddenly stopped, and his feet sank into the dirt.
Theramore's face immediately darkened, his exposed fangs scraping his lower lip until he saw the attacked orcs finally move on, and his nervous face gradually relaxed.
"Haha, don't worry, that kind of pediatric attack is like being bitten by a mosquito to us orcs, and it can't pose a threat at all. ”
The other Legion Commanders looked at Theramore with rolling eyes: "Fool, you're the only one who is nervous, for us, his death is the best outcome." ”
Bede at the head of Datu City frowned slightly, such a result was obviously not what he wanted, but his ability was limited and he couldn't shoot through the heavy shield with one arrow. However, he could also see that although this arrow did not kill the orc in the front row, the body of the orc had already tilted, and if he shot another arrow, the orc would die.
Bede drew his bow again, aimed it at the orc, and with a "whoosh", the arrow departed from the string and struck the huge shield again. The crash was louder than the last, and the attention of the other captains was drawn. They seemed to hear something else in the loud crash.
The orc, as before, stood still, shield raised, motionless.
"Hahaha...... It's okay. Such an attack is not painful for us orcs. Theramore laughed and looked at the other captains, but all the other captains had unusually serious faces.
Seramo also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and looked back at the battlefield ahead, and the orc's body gradually fell.
"How can this be?" Theramore let out a low roar, and the war horse under his crotch also felt Theramore's anger, and trembled, "Unforgivable. ”
When the orc fell, the orcs on both sides hurriedly supported him. Cracks finally appeared in the wall of the shield, which was not airy. In this short moment, countless arrows fell from the sky, and the exposed orcs were instantly killed by several arrows.
Bede drew his arrow again, targeting the orc pushing the hammer. After the sound of the arrows, the flying arrows pierced the orc's heart, and the orc fell to the ground, and several orcs behind him were killed by Bede one after another.
The orcs on both sides tried to make up for the void left by the fallen orcs, but the arrows that rained like a torrent pierced their bodies in an instant.
The orc force was completely routed.
The other eight legion commanders closed their eyes helplessly.
Theramore clenched his fists, his bloodshot eyes looked angrily at Bede, who kept shooting arrows, and let out a deafening roar: "I'm going to kill you!"
Bede at the head of the city gave Theeramore a defiant look, and continued to shoot arrows at the other orcs. (To be continued.) )
