Chapter 342: I have to come to break the city
() Historically, the bloodiest battles in sieges have been fought over the walls, in which the attackers will throw large numbers of troops, as well as the defenders.
The first wave of the church army to the head of the city of a swordsman Dalian was killed in less than five minutes, and the defenders also paid the loss of nearly 100 people, but with the suppression of the long-range fire of the vampire army on the city wall, the actual control area of the church army is also expanding, if the vampires have no reinforcements, then the city wall is lost in ten minutes.
then Do vampires have reinforcements? Yes, although Dracula is still self-contained in the castle, his vampire lords are not dry, and when the archers on the city walls are ready to draw their short swords and join the battle, a vampire lord wearing heavy armor and riding a werewolf arrives.
"Eastlandall, you're late!" The vampire lord who commanded the battle on the city wall looked at the arrogant guy dissatisfied.
"Why, if your legion can't even hold a city wall, I just sleep on the city wall, it's useless!" The vampire lord known as Islandell shook his flowing white hair, nonchalant.
"You ......"
"Don't worry, I've brought reinforcements!" Islandell jumped off the werewolf's back and drew his saber from his waist.
"Whew!" The werewolf mount let out a long roar, followed by the same whine from the city of Musiron.
"What's that?" A commander of the Church Army straightened his helmet and dropped the shortsword that had been chopped down, watching in amazement as hundreds of werewolf soldiers with hideous faces wrapped in steel armor poured out of the city.
"Come on, my slaves, kill those humans!"
The roaring werewolves, the torrent of glittering giant axes and large guns directly crushed the legion of shield-wielding swordsmen on the city wall, even though several centurions kept trying to gather the soldiers, but they still could not block the impact from the werewolves.
"For the light!"
At the critical moment, a group of shield-wielding halberders climbed the city wall, and the restraint of the long-pole weapons against the large troops allowed them to successfully hold the city, and then a group of new crossbowmen reinforced their defenses.
The earth-shattering shouts of slaughter and the metallic roar of weapons intersecting even came from several kilometers away.
Seeing that the other party had gained a firm foothold again, the vampire lord could only use his last resort.
"Cover the walls with fireballs!"
"But our people are up there!"
The cold light flashed, and the head of the vampire officer who raised the objection moved, looking at the lord whose sword body was still dripping blood, and he didn't say a word, the remaining few vampire officers didn't dare to disobey.
"Very good, order reinforcements from the Third Great Sword Regiment and order the cavalry to prepare to charge! Order the 4th Company to fire bows and arrows into the city to suppress the opponent's reinforcements! Lord Kenneth's orders were passed down one by one, and the church army that received the order immediately moved into action, ready to attack.
"Sir, look at the sky!"
"What?"
Kenneth watched in amazement as more than a dozen flaming fireballs flew out of the city, and instead of falling outside the city, they smashed into the walls.
A raging fire erupted, and the human and vampire soldiers fighting on the walls were overwhelmed.
"Let them retreat!" Kenneth looked at the flames rising in the distance and said unwillingly.
"But, Commander, we're almost there!" Several officers were also reluctant.
"If you let them stay, it will only end up with those miscellaneous pieces, and we still can't hold the city wall, let them retreat!"
Upon hearing the signal to retreat, the soldiers of the Church Army immediately retreated with the corpses of the fallen brothers and the wounded, and the vampire soldiers did not stop them, but looked for a way to break out of the fire.
The first day of siege was over, the church army lost hundreds of casualties, and the wounded were about twice as many as the dead, but both the wounded and the dead were well cared for, the bones of the dead were cremated, and then poured holy water for burial, and the wounded soldiers were carried to the military medical clinic by the same five big and three rough medical soldiers for various treatments, and then they were sent back to the base camp for more detailed care by horse-drawn carriages.
Kenneth also found Van Helsing after the battle.
"Help me take down the city walls, I can change the identities of Accardo and Sophia!" Kenneth said straight to the point.
"Oh, what's wrong with Accardo and Sophia, why do they need an identity?"
"Don't pretend, Van Helsing! You and I both know that Accardo is the son of Dracula, and Sophia is the daughter of his butler Victor, and although they are both human, their parents are damn creatures of darkness, and I can give them a makeover, and have a manor and an inheritance in Rome! If you help me take down the damn walls and gates! ”
"As you wish, Your Excellency!" Van Helsing tied his hair, put on his hat, gave a whistle, and walked out of the tent.
"Where are you going?"
"Help you take down the walls!" Van Helsing said without looking back.
"At night? This is the home of the vampires! ”
"So they'll let their guard down and learn to think backwards, my lord!"
Taking advantage of the heavy night, Van Helsing gathered more than a dozen wandering knights and ranger rangers under his command, plus Aaron and Herrington, and the group quietly touched the river.
"Alright, I'll go first!" After quietly landing on the shore, Van Helsing twisted the water on his body and grabbed Aaron, who was about to act.
"How are you going to get up?"
"I have my way!"
Several wandering knights lifted a log several meters long, and Van Helsing was the one in front, and they briefly increased their speed, and Van Helsing then flew up to the wall of the city wall with his strength and the wood.
Then one of the rangers shot an arrow with a bow, and an arrow as strong as a steel drill was shot into the crack in the wall, and this is where Van Helsing had just flown up.
Several rangers continued to shoot arrows, and Van Helsing, like a nimble ape, climbed the tower.
After ascending the tower, Van Helsing drew his throwing knife from behind his waist and killed the few vampire soldiers closest to him before turning around and lowering the rope ladder.
"I'll leave the destruction of the walls to you!"
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to say hello to my old friend, you guys help him solve the gates, and then we'll have a round in the castle!" Van Helsing pointed to his rangers, and then he took Accardo and Sophia, and then drove down the tower and headed towards the darkness.
"Okay, now I'll teach you how to use C4!" Aaron pulled out a bunch of c4s from his bag.
