572 The city is shattered
On Xilin City, the captain of the squad wearing a leather helmet looked at the shield soldiers who were gradually approaching the city wall, and muttered in his heart.
On the one hand, he can be sure that the other party is definitely not here to attack the city. There are no ladders to climb the city, there are no rams, unless they are all high-ranking warriors, they may pose a threat to their own side. But in that case, wouldn't it be better to put them into the main point of attack, so why should there be any need to attack the west?
Could it be that these guys are dizzy and have gone in the wrong direction? The squad leader thought so as to see them cross the trench and stop at the foot of the city wall.
"Captain, what should I do?" a soldier next to him stepped forward and asked in a low voice. This section of the city wall is guarded by their team.
"How many logs are there?" asked the squad leader casually, and since most of the archers had been transferred, there wasn't much they could do to deal with them. He was going to throw down some rolling wood and stones, so that he could give an account to his boss.
"Just now the brothers from the East Third Battalion moved away, and the fighting was fierce on their side. The soldier scratched his head, he didn't even have basic leather armor, and he was wearing a helmet made of a barrel, and he looked ridiculous. In fact, nearly half of Xilin's soldiers were recruited on a temporary basis, and they were driven to the city wall to fill up after they were only trained how to shoot with guns.
The team leader swept over, and the pile of rolling logs with handles was gone, and there were not even many stones left. He pondered for a moment, waved his hand and ordered, "Throw stones." β
So, in addition to the sporadic arrow feathers, the soldiers on the city walls began to throw stones, which was all the reaction of the Xilin defenders.
Truth be told, these recruits weren't on good terms. In addition, the battle group of "Vulcan's Fury" maintained a certain distance between them, so the results were small, but casualties were inevitable.
Hundreds of pounds of falling rocks were no child's play, and the heavily armed knights erected their tower shields diagonally. Sticking to the city wall, you can barely resist it. However, the huge impact still made their mouths ooze blood and their throats sweet. Several warriors who were a little slower to react, the smashed shields were out of their hands, and more stones fell. They screamed and fell to the ground, and in an instant their flesh and blood blurred.
"Quick!" the rest of the warriors urged each other to move quickly. The warrior with the iron spine is the strongest in the group. They worked hard to dig on the city wall, and several of them were even more energetic.
This kind of negligible destruction would not trigger a reaction from the Divine Array. The small hole in the mouth of the bowl is far from reaching the dangerous Cheng dΓΉ. Since everyone's strength is different, the depth of the hole is also different. After some hard work. At the half-human-high position at the bottom of the city wall, more than 30 small holes appeared, lined up and evenly spaced.
In order to ensure that the destructive power of the array disc is fully exerted, the excitation time must be consistent. A warrior of the "Vulcan Fury" leaned out from behind the tower shield and waved the flag from afar to inform the mercenary group of the main formation. More than thirty warriors holding array plates. At the same time, look north, waiting for the final order.
"Tell the head of the regiment. They are ready. The sharp-eyed commander of the archery battalion immediately reported after a moment's discernment.
Allegri pondered for a moment, whispering a few times, flicking his fingers slightly.
A firework flew up ten meters high. It exploded with a bang.
"Captain, captain, they ran. One soldier wiped his sweat, pointed to the city, and shouted.
"Ran away?" the team leader held on to his leather helmet. Craned his neck to look around, and couldn't help but be surprised. Those guys, really retreating in an orderly manner, they stayed under the city wall for a short time, and then ran back again. What the hell is this, isn't it interesting to have a turnaround run on a dangerous battlefield?
"Stop!" the team leader shook his head in confusion and turned to give the order. Regardless of this, under his own wise command, our army successfully repelled a wave of enemy sneak attacks, and this is what should appear in the report.
"How far can you run in three minutes?" Allegri asked Dios next to him.
"If you don't have armor, you'll be two or three miles away, if you're going to sprint with all your might," Dios mused, "what are you asking for?"
"You're pretty fast," Allegri didn't answer his question, but commanded, "and in three minutes, the array will be activated." β
"Ebert, on his side, doesn't seem to be prepared for anything. Dios glanced in the direction of the podium.
"Even I am not 100% sure, especially after hearing you say that there is an engraved magic array on the city wall," Allegri said softly, "but such a good time, it is better not to miss it." β
"Don't worry. Dios put on his helmet, turned on his horse, and shouted orders. The soldiers of the mercenary group who were waiting for the battle were listed as charging formations, and the front of the soldiers was directed towards the county town of Xilin.
On the podium not far away, Ebert frowned slightly and asked, "Count Allegri, what are you trying to do?"
King Nacini knew the answer, but he didn't say it explicitly. If Allegri could really break through the city walls, he wouldn't mind giving him the first credit for breaking the city. Because of this, he did not order Albert to send his troops.
"If it's you, the general, how many troops do you need to break through this city in one day?" King Nacini asked casually with a smile.
While keeping an eye on Allegri's movements and estimating the casualties of his elites, Ebert shook his head and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, it's not a matter of the number of troops. β
"Yes, only in the battle of attack and defense of the city, the difference in strength is the least obvious," King Nacini sighed as he looked at the dozens of battle groups from afar and quickly retreated, "The county is just that, Ian is only twenty-three counties, but the hundreds of castles and small towns are really a headache. β
Albert opened his mouth and did not speak.
As the minutes ticked by, after escaping the range of the archers, the warriors of Vulcan simply threw down their heavy shields and ran away, like a fed of frightened rabbits.
"Let's see, magic, what can be done. King Nacini said something inexplicable, staring at the empty wall.
"Your Majesty, let's stop attacking. Ebert admonished. Seeing that the soldiers under his command rushed to the city without hesitation, and in an instant they turned into corpses and fell, as if blood was dripping in his heart.
"Although it is not clear what Count Allegri is planning, he has only been at the front for two days, how can he have the ability to turn the tide of the battle-" Seeing that the king did not answer, Albert gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to state his reasons.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The flames were blazing into the sky, and the loud noise was like thunder. In the midst of the flying earth and rocks, the entire section of the nearly 100-meter-long city wall exploded.
