Chapter 24: The First Taste (5)

Five miles away from Helan City, the Stuyad army, which had been devastated by artillery in the past few days, finally found a safe distance of five miles. Set up camp in a large place here, and in order to prevent the white-clothed regiment from attacking again, this time the elves set up horse rejection.

It was at this time that Coyle's talent was revealed, and after the army was crushed, it took a few days to regroup his troops. Based on the experience of being shelled by artillery that day, as well as the craters left behind, the safe distance of the artillery was judged at a very small cost. But this very small price is a few battle-hardened generals, after all, there is no worthy target, and the other side will not fire. In doing so, Coyle also purged the army of opponents.

This is a difficult opponent, and Wayne has felt the pressure from the other side in the past few days, the pressure of military command.

At first, Wayne didn't believe it, but the army of elves that had been driven by the white-clad regiment the day before had regrouped outside Heran the next day. Moreover, the opposite side also consciously tested the range of the artillery, and Wayne also had to fight back, because the opposite side obviously sent a small force to test it, and his own bow and arrow were not powerful, so he watched them approach the city wall and clean up the re-buried traps.

And the opposite side began to cut down trees and make catapults, and as long as Wayne didn't fight back, the opposite side would throw stones at the already fragile city walls.

This is a conspiracy, an unsolvable conspiracy. In this way, the range of the artillery was tested step by step by the other side, and it is estimated that they also roughly know the explosion range of the artillery.

Wayne had to admit that there was a very good military strategist on the other side.

Ran into a thorn in the head!

Balde and Bessen are also worried, and after the joy of the first battle, it is the pressure brought by the difference in strength. All the schemes on the other side are based on the fact that their own army has not been established long ago, and their roots are shallow. There are no good archers, no catapults, no grassroots generals with rich combat experience!

The only thing to rely on is artillery and high-quality armor, and all your tactics are based on these two things. But as long as the other side changes its tactics, will it be able to hold out for a month?

In order to sharpen the army, a group of new recruits and some soldiers who defended the city last time have come to defend the city in the past few days. The army is now lacking growth, and war is the catalyst for growth.

Woo~knock~

The dull sound of trumpets and the rapid sound of drums came, and it was also a good opportunity to fight with the elves these days. The three Wayne were very familiar with each other, which was a signal for attack.

Before the heralds could be reached, the three Wayne had already climbed the city wall. Look far away.

I found that the elves were very different this time, and the elves who attacked this time were directly the siege troops, as well as the melee infantry. There are no more archers to suppress the walls.

The soldier holding the ladder wore only one cuirass, and the shield was held by the infantryman.

If the city is usually attacked like this, then the archers on the city wall will teach this group of elves to behave, but Wayne's army is short of trained archers.

The other side came prepared this time.

Without their heavy armor, these soldiers with ladders were able to quickly cross the five-mile death zone to the bottom of the city walls. The infantry then raised their shields to cover them from arrows fired from the walls.

The three Wayne quickly figured out each other's tactics.

Beson scratched his hair and said unwillingly.

"TMD, these monkeys are also smart!"

Wayne and Bald didn't think so.

A rhythmic drum sounded, and the other side began to move! The troops holding the ladders did not go out together, but staggered! This effectively reduced the casualties caused by the artillery. The infantry followed the ladder troops, and when they were within range of their bows and arrows, they raised their shields to take cover.

Behind these vanguards were phalanxes of infantry, which staggered in turn, at intervals of more than five meters, as instructed!

Coyle curled the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly!

The messenger of the family these days, the secretary of the presbyterian church. It annoyed him to death, if he hadn't mentioned to them the power of the artillery and the hard armor, and explained that when he captured Nolan, he would have mastered the handover of these techniques and a series of other conditions. He won't be directing a large army to attack Helan now.

In the past few days, I have slowly tried out the performance of the artillery, and I have also improved my tactics, and I will capture Helan without accident in the next few days.

Looking at the sparse enemy soldiers crawling like ants, the new soldiers couldn't help but be nervous and panicked. But under the scolding of veterans who had experienced the war, they quickly eased up. Do it according to the usual training, calibrate, load, ignite!

Bang~!Bang~!

The sound of artillery came and went, and shells fell. After all, they are the elite of the kingdom, and they have been bombarded every day for the past few days, and they have begun to get used to it.

War will promote progress on both sides!

From time to time, the ladder troops in front had people fall into traps, but this did not affect the speed of advance. In the past few days, Koir specially told the soldiers that as long as they rushed through these miles, they would not be hit by artillery!

So this group of soldiers rushed forward desperately as if they were chickens!

The sound of artillery, angry shouts, and the orders of the commander were mixed and intertwined, forming the main tone of Helan at this time.

The originally clear sky was covered in smoke from the battlefield, and dirt was splattered everywhere!

Elves are known for their love of cleanliness, and at this time, at the urging of death, they have to wade through even a dung pit.

In the face of death, the nature of the species will be stimulated!

The first ladder was erected on the city wall in the rain of arrows, and the soldiers crawling on it encountered the splashed hot oil, boulders. Boom~!

Most of the soldiers fell down before they could die, ending their lives.

The most painful thing is that he is not yet dead, from time to time a comrade-in-arms steps on him, and the already festering wound is stepped on again, and he even has to endure the hot oil that falls from time to time!

Bang bang~!

Bursts of explosions rang out from under the city walls.

Bessen waited until the enemy forces below reached a certain number before he began to throw the prepared bombs, and most of the elves were either killed or burned. The black powder sticks to the body, and it can't be solved by rolling around.

Wayne didn't pity this group of people, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself!

There was already a sound of swords and armor clashing against the wall!

Beson picked up the big knife and ran over, he had been famous for his knife skills ten years earlier. The elves who died under his sword could build a mountain.

When the elves finally climbed the city wall, they thought it was the end of the war, but the reality was the beginning of cruelty.

It is difficult for their knives to cut through the armor of the enemy, and instead they wear light armor like paper paste in pursuit of speed. A knife on the other side will kill you.

However, after the recruits found that their armor was so hard, they became more and more courageous under the leadership of the veterans.

"Drink!~"

Kill Lao Tzu, Beisen is like a killing god possessed at this time, he is already good at swordsmanship, and after adding the armor that can't be cut by this knife, he is like a tiger with wings. Cut down the elves who climbed the wall to the wall!

It's just that there is more than one ladder to climb the city wall, and it is impossible for Beson to take care of every one.
