() On the city wall of the edge town, the width is very wide, more than ten meters, such a width, if it is on flat ground, it may be terribly narrow, but on the city wall, it is a very wide distance, enough for the soldiers to defend the city, and there is enough position to defend against the attack of the demonic beasts.

The city wall is divided into two levels, the inner layer is two or three meters lower than the platform on top of the wall, and a suspended platform of the same length protrudes along the wall. The width of the suspended platform is not wide, only about five meters, and there is only one weapon on it, Ryan learned from the level 6 swordsman who was originally stationed in the edge town, this weapon is called a ballista, and one is placed every ten meters.

It turned out that in front of the ballista, there was a square hole half a meter long and wide, which ran through the city wall of more than ten meters and led to the outside. The ballista fires a giant crossbow that can pass through this hole and shè to the outside of the monster.

Ryan looked at the ballista and found that the principle was similar to his crossbow, but it was fixed in the shape of a small ballista, with huge bowarms and a thick bowstring, which made it clear at first sight that it had a powerful force. Even more terrifying was the giant arrow, five or six meters long, more than a foot thick at its thickest point, and a triangular fork in the shape of an ordinary bow and arrow at the tip. The appearance of the arrows seems to be made of metal, such a long length, the weight must be very heavy, plus the power of the ballista shè, it can be imagined that the power is huge. Ryan estimated that even if it was a level 6 demonic beast, if it was inadvertently hit by an arrow, its body would definitely be pierced by shè.

Of course, ballistas also have disadvantages, more than ten meters of holes, resulting in a small angle of their hair, almost limited to a very small angle, but a ballista every ten meters is enough to cover all places. In addition, the arrows seemed to be too long and heavy, so there were not many arrows left for each ballista, it seemed that there were only a dozen of them, and when all these crossbow arrows were gone, the ballista was useless. Furthermore, it is very simple to issue a shè ballista. It is enough to start the shè wrench, but it is very difficult to install the next arrow, at least several people need to cooperate to pull the thick bowstring, and then several people can move it to load the arrow.

Ryan led a squad of twelve level 6 swordsmen. At this time, they had already gone up to the city wall to garrison. They were responsible for assisting in the defense of an area fifty or sixty meters long, flanked by other squads, which was relatively close to the central gate, so it would be the most heavily attacked. Outside the city walls. It's not that there's nothing to be found in the dark, the garrison of the edge town, in the evening, is already hundreds of meters away from the plain outside the city, burning a bunch of bonfires every few tens of meters. Therefore, looking down from the city wall at this moment, with the light of the fire on the ground and the moonlight in the sky, you can vaguely reach a far away, and there is no trace of any demonic beasts.

It's close to midnight, and the Monster hasn't appeared yet, and if the Monster doesn't appear all the time, then everything will be fine, but obviously this is impossible, and the Monster brought huge casualties to the edge town last night. I will definitely continue to attack the city tonight.

"Now there are only a third of the people on the city wall, and the others are taking turns to rest, and once the demonic beast comes to attack, everyone will be in place immediately." Ryan asked the level 6 swordsman who was previously stationed in the edge town to brief the team members on various situations.

on this. Ryan felt that it was normal, it was impossible for everyone to stay up all night on the city wall, otherwise the Warcraft would come, and everyone's jīng power would definitely drop. Besides, everyone stays up all night to garrison, then tomorrow there will be no one stationed during the day.

"What about those mercenaries?"

"They're all in the army. In the current situation, it is impossible for them to act on their own, and they must follow the unified command of the army, otherwise they will not only be in danger, but will also disrupt the defensive rhythm of the army. ”

Ryan nodded, their team of swordsmen above level 6 is considered a special existence, but their responsibility is heavy, and all the high-level demonic beasts must be solved by them.

With the continuous introduction of that level 6 swordsman, Ryan and the other level 6 swordsmen who came with him basically understood how to defend the city.

The siege of Warcraft is very different from the siege of humans. Monsters are no better than humans, and they can climb the city walls with various ladders and engage with the defending army. Therefore, if they want to climb over the city wall more than ten meters high, they can only jump by jumping, but no matter how powerful the demonic beast is, they can't jump to a height of more than ten meters anyway, and if they want to jump on the city wall, they must step on those very tall demonic beasts to jump, such as elephant-like demonic beasts that are five or six meters tall before it is possible to jump on the city wall. In addition, bird-like magical beasts can fly directly to the top of the city wall and attack the defenders on the city wall, either from a distance or at close range, which is very lethal.

The most powerful attack of Warcraft is still magic attacks, and most of the Warcraft are more or less, strong or weak, and will have some magic attacks. Therefore, when the Warcraft attack the city, thousands of Warcraft will use magic to attack the city wall at the same time, which is a great test of the defensive ability of the city wall.

The magic attack of Warcraft can be divided into two types, one is to attack directly at the city wall or city gate, but unfortunately, this type of attack is basically ineffective. The walls of the edge town have been tempered for thousands of years, with a thickness of more than ten meters, and countless molten iron melted into the hard rock, which can completely resist the magic attacks of the demonic beasts. In addition, the city gate was made of heavy pig iron, with a thickness of several meters, and now when it is closed, it is also blocked with countless huge rocks, and the entire thickness is thicker than the city wall, which can withstand the attacks of demonic beasts.

Another magical attack of Warcraft is to attack the garrison on the city wall directly, or cross the city wall and attack the inside of the wall. But the garrison of the city wall had already dealt with the situation and would not be helpless. And those magic that flew into the city, after flying a long distance, the speed and power will be significantly reduced, and the people inside can generally dodge.

As for the garrison defending the city, minus the people who were wounded last night, there are still more than 20,000 people, and forty percent of them are ordinary soldiers who are not swordsmen and do not know how to fight. The defense of the city is mainly based on division of labor and cooperation, and there are relatively many means of attack.

Ordinary soldiers were generally not placed at the front line, they were generally placed inside the walls of the city that were much safer. For example, inside the city walls, there are hundreds of catapults and dozens of ballistas, which are the most powerful means of attack, and these soldiers who are responsible for issuing shè catapults and ballistae have as many as four or five thousand people, and they are all ordinary soldiers, they do not need to fight hard, as long as they have great strength, they can be proficient in making these catapults and ballistas. In addition, other ordinary soldiers were responsible for logistics, such as carrying stones for catapults, carrying various weapons for the defenders of the city walls, rescuing wounded soldiers in the defenders of the city walls, evacuating the wounded from the city walls, and so on.

Soldiers with the rank of swordsman have to go to the city wall to fight to the death against the monsters, and they also have a lot of division of labor on the city wall. On the side of the city wall, there is a wall about one meter and three meters high, this height of the wall is suitable for soldiers to attack the demonic beasts under the city, and it is also easy for the magic of the demonic beasts to attack it, so it needs to be resisted with a huge shield. A number of large, powerful junior swordsmen stood on a recess at the top of the wall, carrying a large shield one meter wide and one meter five high. The bottom of the shield is supported by a groove in the wall, and the junior swordsmen support the upper part of the shield with their arms, which saves a lot of strength.

Between each shield, there is a gap of one or twenty centimeters, which makes it difficult for the magic attack of the demonic beast to attack in, but the soldiers defending the city can attack from the gap. In general, the method of soldiers attacking the demonic beasts under the city from the city walls is mainly to attack from a distance with bows and arrows and javelins. In the garrison, there were many specialized archers, and they all attacked the monster from the gap between the shields.

In addition, soldiers at the intermediate swordsman level, in addition to dealing with the demonic beasts that jumped on the city wall, they also had to throw shè javelins to attack the demonic beasts. The javelin is one and a half meters long, but its thickness is as thick as the forearm of a stout swordsman, so the javelin is extremely heavy, and it has a very strong lethality under the fighting spirit of intermediate swordsmen. Moreover, there is a deep blood groove on the javelin, once it stabs the body of the demonic beast, it will make the demonic beast bleed profusely.

Javelins sometimes shè out of the gaps between shields, sometimes shè upwards and fly out from above the shields, and sometimes several shields are withdrawn, and then a large number of javelins take the opportunity to throw shè out, and then re-block the shields. In short, the javelin is the main means of dealing with Warcraft, and there are a large reserves on the city walls.

At the back of the soldiers are the magicians, who generally do not need to aim, but directly past the soldiers in front of them and throw them out. Due to the large number of magical beasts in the city, the magic cast by magicians generally does not fail. Of course, if there are some very powerful monsters in the city that need to be dealt with, the magicians will step forward and cast their magic through the gap between the shields.

Ryan's master team, which is composed of swordsmen above level 6, is mainly tasked with dealing with those magical beasts that take the opportunity to jump on the city wall. Generally, only those high-level demonic beasts have the ability to jump on the city wall, once the high-level demonic beasts jump on the city wall, it will cause significant damage to the soldiers on the city wall, and at this time, many masters are needed to resist these high-level demonic beasts. So the task of Ryan and others is very heavy, according to Ryan's understanding, last night there were a lot of high-level Warcraft and Level 7 Warcraft jumped on the city wall, causing many casualties among soldiers, and finally relied on the desperate efforts of many Level 6 swordsmen to drive these Warcraft out of the city, and they were able to hold the edge town.

After learning about the specifics of the city, Ryan asked the team members to rest first, while he himself walked around and reconfirmed the situation of the city walls.

Half a day later, at the watchtower in the middle of the city wall, a sharp roar suddenly sounded? "Warcraft is coming! Warcraft is coming! It's just five miles ahead. ”

Immediately, a huge bell inside the city wall crashed into the ground, and suddenly everyone in the edge town heard the jǐng bell, which represented the siege of the Warcraft.
