There are many things to prepare for a siege: tortoiseshell cones of various types and forms, movable wooden towers, different forms of ladders, different tools needed to dig different types of walls, and preferably a mage to cast a spell in the rear......

However, the Sand Bandit Alliance only has a rudimentary ladder and cheap human lives.

Soldiers made up of bandits, each of whom had the duty of cavalry and infantry, archers and pikemen, armorers, gunners, raider hussars, and tunnel engineers. All of them are generalists, but all of them are not professional.

Although the walls of Spath City are not very high, and the core of its defenses is still a normal wall, the thick walls are made of concrete on the inside, then covered with large blocks of limestone on the outside, and bricks inserted to make the structure stronger.

The battle platform at the top of the wall was protected by battlements, and from below there were stairs leading to the top platform, surrounded by several towers.

According to the custom of the Medici people to build towers, these towers were not connected to the city walls, so as to ensure that the towers and the city walls could be deposited separately and not break and collapse.

And because of this, the sand bandits who are now struggling to climb the ladder must withstand flanking attacks from around them and overhead, with many soldiers hiding in the towers' combat platforms, firing arrows at the enemy from their shooting holes.

For the sake of their own lives, many sand bandits had to pick up the shields of their companions who had fallen from the arrows, and tie them around them before they dared to continue to climb upwards, while carefully blocking the stones falling from the sky.

As for the legendary magic weapons of defending the city: "golden soup" and "hot oil". Because the former was too dirty and the latter too expensive, the two brothers, Crooked Mouth and One-Eyed, did not let the defenders prepare in advance.

They have better options and are more efficient at killing enemies.

Of course, these "choices" are also provided by the Scales of the Eternal Order. The Sand Rhino Caravan sent two cannons along with some special fortification equipment that could spray a flammable solution to scorch the enemy.

The solution is packed in small kegs, and when used, just open the lid, place the keg in the notch reserved by the machine, and then press the injection device by man, and it can run smoothly.

The core ingredient of the solution is black oil from the vicinity of Nome, which is mixed with a powdered resin to give it adhesion.

The cost was not too high, and hundreds of kegs were delivered. According to the estimation of the technician in charge of installing the device, this batch of solution can be used for all the instruments to continuously spray about four hourglass hours if they are sprayed continuously at all times.

And that's not even the time it can inflict damage, due to the sticky nature of the solution, it can attach to the enemy's clothing and armor after being sprayed, and can burn for a long time once it is ignited.

The sand bandits who were besieging the city immediately understood this, and many of them had just climbed to the top of the city, brandishing their weapons to cut down one or two defenders, but before they could stand firmly, they were blasted to the chest by the fire dragon that erupted from the tower.

By this time, the defenders who had been at the head of the city had already withdrawn from their positions, lowered the iron fence used to seal it, and took up their positions in the towers. The open space at the head of the city had turned into a sea of fire, and even the air began to become distorted and hot.

With the sound of "poof", "poof", rather a ridiculous sound of oil spraying, like a barricade of flames blocking all the intruders, and worst of all, hitting them, it immediately erupted into a cry and wail.

The sticky solution is very difficult to wipe off, and when it is ignited and then touches the skin, it becomes a greedy poisonous snake that will not stop until it burns to the bone marrow.

The slightest flame on their armor would allow the bandits to quickly remove their armor, but they would soon be taken care of by the archers hiding in the towers, and without the slightest hint of fire, the flames would burn through their armor and lick their skin.

Someone opens the water bladder on their waist and tries to extinguish the flame with water, but to no avail, and the best solution is to use sand and cover the flame to extinguish it.

But how could there be too much sand on the top of the city? Some "smart people" quickly came up with a way, and they climbed down the ladder, and some even thought that the city wall was not too high, so they simply jumped down from the top of the city.

The already chaotic siege battle, because of the "return" of this group of people, immediately became a little more chaotic. In some corners of the battlefield, those gangs that already had gaps with each other actually appeared in the situation where their own people drew their swords against each other.

"It's really a bunch of muddy guys who can't support the wall," the leader of the sand bandits snorted coldly, and thought viciously in his heart: "Even if you are burned to death, it will actually affect the siege process later." Again, the Commander is right, if you want to do something well, you have to do it yourself. ”

After a little thought, the veteran wind-shearer immediately thought of a way, he pulled out his scimitar and danced a knife flower in mid-air, "The overseer team is out of the queue and goes to suppress those guys who don't know what to do." ”

Immediately behind him, a group of elite bandits on six-legged warhorses, dressed in uniform chain mail, slammed their horses with scimitars and rushed towards the chaotic place on the battlefield.

As long as there is resistance, regardless of the gang they belong to, the Overseers will fight and fall without discrimination. Even if they didn't dare to resist, they would be whipped a few times with a horsewhip on their heads and faces.

The Warlord's actions were brutal, but very effective, and soon the riots were put to rest.

At this time, the leader of the sand bandits also prepared himself, he ordered people to bring river mud from the nearby Niro River, and smear it thickly on his cloak, hoping to fight the flamethrows as a means of fighting the flames.

The same is true of many gang leaders pretended to be wind hearers, plus some henchmen, the leader of the sand bandits with dozens of elite backbones braved the arrows and stones, climbing the ladder ants to attack the city.

When they reached the top of the city, the smell of roasted meat was the first to reach their noses, and they resisted the urge to vomit, put the soles of their feet on the somewhat hot masonry floor, and quickly charged in the direction of the tower.

The fire dragon arrived as expected, and the leader of the bandits raised his cloak and blocked the flames with the mud on it. The mud quickly dried up, cracked, and even became pottery, but it did keep the sticky flames out of the cloak.

Except for a few unlucky ones, who had to turn into humanoid torches in their own wails because the mud on their cloaks was burned through by the flames.

"Hurry up and get to the vicinity of the tower, the dry mud slabs will help you keep the arrows at bay......

As long as he can rush there, the leader of the sand bandits is very confident that he will be able to use his scimitar with a sharp spell in his hand to break through the iron fence in one fell swoop, rush in and slaughter the guards, and buy some time for the other sand bandits under the city wall to occupy the city.
