Chapter 65: Another Round of Attacks
Of the more than 20 ladders, most of them were blocked, and only this one successfully attacked the city. The soldiers who climbed up the ladder were trained in a string, and they came up in a steady stream.
The attacking troops, who were preparing to successfully ascend to the top of the city, were suddenly met with a head-on attack. Several shields suddenly stood up and squeezed towards them. The top soldier stood unsteady at the top of the city, and suddenly fell backwards.
The soldiers on the ladder seemed to be pressed by Mount Tai, and the situation of ascending the city was suddenly blocked, and they were accidentally pressed down from the city. Someone kept falling, and someone climbed up.
The shields are closely arranged and made of special metals. Ordinary fire and water attacks, not affected at all. Most of the Haori soldiers' scroll attacks are ineffective, so they can only throw them high to cause some trouble for the other party.
The reinforcement force was cut off, and more than a dozen Haori soldiers at the head of the city fought alone. Led by the mobile squad, they were resolutely besieged.
Feng Luo hid his cultivation and shuttled through the crowd. He mainly uses the eight-armed divine fist to attack and hone his skills. In the melee, no one noticed how the enemy died.
After killing four or five Haori soldiers, Feng Luo quietly retreated. He tried his best to hide himself, and he was not far from being noticed by the other party. Once the Haori army knew of his existence, they would definitely take corresponding measures.
Because of Feng Luo's joining, the mobile team did not suffer any other casualties except for two people who were seriously injured. Using a long knife to cut off a few sections of horizontal logs on the top of the ladder, it was already difficult for the Haori soldiers to climb up.
The troops defending the city were reorganized and at the same time more confident. All of them had a resolute look on their faces, and they were no longer afraid. The mobile team completed its mission and retreated to the tower with the wounded robe.
The leader of the mobile team called four ordinary soldiers and helped two seriously injured people who could not walk down the city wall and sent them for medical treatment. Others bandage wounds in the tower, eat and recuperate, and prepare for the next battle. Only then did he vaguely remember that there was a man who was very brave.
Sparky came over to check on the task force and ordered the best medicine to be used to heal the wounds. The number of mobile teams is limited, and if someone is injured every time, it can't withstand the attrition. The bravery of the Haori soldiers was beyond his expectations.
From attacking the city wall, he was counterattacked, which was a big blow to morale. It was almost noon, and the Japanese army sent a pulse signal to recall the army.
From start to finish, it lasted about two and a half hours in total. The army of Haori put into the attack, more than 20,000, and about 3,000 killed.
Davao's side, although it has the advantage of the city wall, the number of dead has reached 1,000. And the arrows and scrolls they consume are countless.
The first formal confrontation between offense and defense can be described as having clever moves and omissions. The Haori army was a little anxious for quick success, hoping that by relying on the first attack, it would be able to make meritorious service and cause heavy casualties.
And their fierce attack did almost succeed. If it weren't for Spark's preparation of a mobile team and the help of Feng Luo, it is possible that the city would have been broken!
This is war!
Feng Luo looked at the scene of corpses strewn all over the city, including the corpses of Haori soldiers and Davao people. Some of them were two people holding each other tightly and falling down from the city, where they were still entangled until they died.
In order to prevent the decomposing corpses from causing the plague to run rampant, the two warring parties had a tacit understanding, and did not fight in the afternoon, but sent an unarmed clean-up team. Trucks used to carry food were pushed into the battlefield to carry away the corpses of their own soldiers.
Clearing teams enter the battlefield from different directions, staggered from each other, so as not to clash. They only moved their own corpses, and the other party's was still on the ground. But care is usually taken to show a minimum of respect for the deceased.
As for weapons, of course, they can be carried as much as they can. But they also don't argue about snatching weapons, because many of them are damaged and can't be used anymore. For example, only a small part of the arrows can still be shot.
For both sides, the materials are more than enough at the moment, and the biggest lack will be people. Which side can't keep up, which side will be the first to rout.
After more than an hour, the battlefield was cleared, and the next round of battles began immediately.
Once the wheels of war are in motion, they do not stop. More and more human lives are involved, which becomes the driving force of war. When people are almost dead, the motivation disappears and the war stops.
Haori's side will not give Fute City too much time to breathe, and immediately launch an offensive while the other party is still breathing.
Several squares were arrayed, and behind the infantry, more than a dozen catapults were placed. Realizing the heavy casualties of the soldiers, counter-repressive measures began to be taken to contain them.
"Hurry up and get ready to put out the fire!" Feng Luo immediately ran over to Spark, shouting as he ran.
Feng Luo understood the way Haori fought, and judging from the adjustment of the opponent's catapult, the direction was upward. They targeted the city of Foot, not the city walls!
The walls are reinforced with special materials, and it is difficult for boulder attacks to be effective in a short period of time. For attacks in the city, the stone has limited lethality, and if it is thrown into a fireball, it will be unimaginable.
The kingdom of Haori did this many times, attacking with fire and burning down the houses in the city. If you're lucky, you'll burn down the towers and warehouses near the city walls.
"Fighting the fire, where did the fire start?" asked Spark, confused.
Feng Luo pointed to the catapult in the distance and said, "They are going to be suppressed with fire, so they must hurry up and prepare the fire-fighting equipment, and at the same time avoid escaping and being attacked!"
Sparky still wasn't fully convinced, but since Feng Luo said so, he immediately ordered the men to get ready. At the same time, ask someone to prepare a scroll of the water system and place it in the tower.
When he saw the catapult, he was not unprepared. Especially for the protection of the tower, a lot of scrolls were prepared. Once a boulder is attacking, you can use a scroll to smash the boulder.
If it's a fireball, the original reel will lose its effect. Because if you break the fireball, you will fuel the fire.
"Woo-" The horn sounded, and after the morning's temptation, the Haori army attacked again.
This offensive was clearly more orderly than the first. The protective equipment has also changed, and it seems that there is a metal disc on the head, which does not need to hold a shield, and can prevent arrows from above.
"Hmph, do you think that's going to be fine?" Sparker smiled coldly, as if he had expected it. He called the herald and gave an order.
When the infantry approached only half a mile, the archers at the head of the city launched the first blow. Thousands of feathered arrows flew down, and less than ten people fell to the ground.
The morale of the Haori army was greatly boosted, and they began to charge with a roar. Suddenly, a burst of feathered arrows flew out of Pingping, attacking Haori's soldiers from the front.
The soldiers who ran in front were caught off guard and were shot dozens of people.
