Chapter 1059 Offensive and Defensive Battles
Hundreds of gargoyles flew overwhelmingly towards the city, and when they saw their menacing arrival, dozens of arrows flew out of the city walls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When this happened, the officer in command immediately shouted, "Are you all deaf? and shoot arrows?" Sure enough, those arrows hit the gargoyles, and when they hit their petrified skin, they all bounced off, leaving only white spots on their bodies.
Commander Murat looked at the situation and shook his head helplessly. There are still too many recruits, and it's good to find a few who can shoot arrows. I've been fighting for so long, I can't suppress the fear in my heart, and I often forget to command.
The bed crossbow shook slowly, and then the crossbow guns were fired, and without any precise aiming, several crossbow guns pierced through the gargoyle and fell. However, the number of bed crossbows was too small, and many of them had been damaged in the previous battle, and after some time, these gargoyles slowly fell to the city wall.
The soldiers ready for melee combat were already ready, and as soon as the gargoyles landed, the human soldiers began to fight. And at this moment, the demon soldiers who were ready under the city also launched an attack at the same time, and a cloud ladder was erected to the city, and those demon soldiers were climbing up quickly.
Gargoyles blocked the entire length of the wall, forming a cover for the climbing demon soldiers. Although they are inflexible and have been repeatedly hit by human weapons, their defenses are so high that they act like a stone wall to hold the human soldiers in their tracks.
If this continues, when the climbing demon soldiers form a numerical advantage, the situation will be very unfavorable. Commander Murat, who was on the inner city wall in the rear, smiled bitterly a few times, and reluctantly ordered: "Let the troops in the outer city retreat and launch an attack!"
At the sound of the command, the human soldiers who were fighting quickly retreated to both sides. And those gargoyles didn't have the agility to catch up, so they watched the human soldiers retreat. However, the gargoyle's mission seemed to be almost complete, and his own soldiers had already climbed the wall.
"Huhuhu!" the catapults in the inner city finally threw stone projectiles. The catapult, which had already calculated the angle, threw the stone projectile and landed on this section of the city wall impartially. No matter how high the defense is, it can't stop these huge stone bullets. Although the gargoyles immediately crouched down on the spot and turned into stone statues, they were still bounced off one after another and fell under the city walls.
The rounds of stone bullets are impermeable, and they don't give the demons any time to breathe. The gargoyles are scattered and scattered, and they are no longer in a queue at all. Another command sounded, the catapult suddenly stopped, and the human soldiers began to charge with a shout.
Due to the protection of the city wall, the demon soldiers on the ladder were basically unharmed, and only a small number were shaken and fell. At this time, they also picked up their speed, wanting to climb the city wall as quickly as possible.
The shouts of killing on both sides shook the earth, and the footsteps rumbled. The murderous aura was rising, and it seemed that a fierce battle was about to break out, but at this moment, this section of the city wall actually made a very dull "buzzing" sound, and gradually shook, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
"Not good!" The front ones have been killed together, but the ones who charge behind are already unstable. "Boom!" There was a loud bang, and in the rising smoke and dust, this section of the city wall actually collapsed.
Commander Murat, who had been mentally prepared, shook his head again. The only way to deal with these gargoyles is to use catapults, but those stone projectiles are completely double-edged swords, and throwing them on the city wall will also cause great damage to the city wall. He turned his head and ordered, "Let the reserves go up quickly! ”
The soldiers of the demon clan who were climbing, and the troops who were still waiting under the city, were all crushed by the collapsed city wall. As for those gargoyles that were knocked away, most of them eased up, but they still returned to their original appearance and slowly flew back into the formation, and the casualties were not very large.
The biggest role of gargoyles is to fight with other classes. If there is no cooperation, it is easy to wipe it all out. That's why, the goal of the gargoyle is not inside the city, but only on the city walls. For example, if they landed at the gates of the city and were ready to open them, the human soldiers would be able to concentrate all their firepower and easily wipe out the gargoyles, after all, the gargoyles were too slow. So now that there is no city wall, the task of these gargoyles has been completed, and in the ensuing battle, it will be up to the other demon troops.
It should be said that the sudden collapse of the city wall, although the casualties of the demons were much greater, but the situation was good for them. With such a gap, the demons will be able to rush into the city and give full play to their superiority in strength. Therefore, at this time, Commander Loki and Deputy Commander Astaru, who commanded the demon troops, were all very excited: "It's falling! It's falling! The follow-up troops are coming up, and they want to capture the whole city in one go! The troops who rushed in, each soldier was divided into fifty acres of land in the holy land." The first one to rush in will be promoted to knight, and another 10,000 coins will be bonus!"
However, these two demon leaders were still too happy. The sudden situation made the demon troops unable to react for a while. And Serraga Fort, when it launched the catapult, had already prepared for the collapse of the city walls. So the reserves swarmed up, some were fighting with the demons who had slipped through the net, some poured a large amount of bricks and stones into the gap, and some poured them down with hot oil pots and poured them on the bodies of the small demon troops who rushed forward and wanted to fish in troubled waters......
Looking at the fire in front of the gap, I saw that the gap was quickly filled. Commander Kilo smiled bitterly: "If there is no good thing to pick up cheap, then go steady." Ask the craftsmen in the battalion, are the siege equipment ready?"
"Twenty-seven catapults have been built, many stone projectiles have been made, and three siege towers have been made. ”
"Okay! Rest for half an hourglass, and then launch a general attack. The target is this section of the wall. ”
......
Seeing that the demons were preparing for the general attack, erecting catapults outside the city, and also launching three siege towers higher than the outer city walls, Commander Murat ordered: "Speed up, disassemble the catapults, and prepare to withstand this attack." How many troops are there in the city?"
"If you don't count the injured, there are more than 2,700, plus more than 5,000 all the militias. ”
"Mobilize a thousand troops to guard here. The other walls were each equipped with 500 militias. All the rest were withdrawn to the inner city. Also, the fire points in the outer city should also be prepared and ready to give up at any time. As soon as the signal is given, all retreat into the inner city. ”
"My lord, can't the outer city be defended?"
"Get ready, rest assured, hold out one more day, and reinforcements will arrive. Mobilize all the men in the city, as long as they can wield knives, and all the women who volunteer to fight. At this time, it depends on who can hold on. (To be continued.) )
