571 Battle Group
"The last general is not effective in attacking the city, please punish the king. The short commander of the Western Route Army knelt on one knee and held the handsome seal in both hands.
The biggest difference between the offensive and defensive sides is the terrain. The condescending defender can make full use of the firepower of long-range attacks and kill a large number of enemy soldiers. The only advantage of the besieging side is the initiative. The way to win is to pull the defending troops as much as possible and force the elite into one point to force the attack.
Like now, if the attempt of the Western Route Army is discovered by the other party, then the Xilin defenders only need to set up their positions and wait for you to come to your door to die. This attack ended in failure.
"What is the general's crime," said King Nacini, patting him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I had 200,000 troops under the city of Frodo that day, and I was still helpless?"
As soon as Albert was about to say something, King Nacini had already helped him up, turned around and said, "Your Excellency, it is time for you to take the stage. ”
"I will live up to the king's trust," Allegri nodded in response, and then asked, "General Albert, where is the main point of attack of our army now?"
"The left section of the northern city wall, three hundred steps west of the northeast corner tower. Ebert replied precisely.
"Can you please give the general the order to continue the attack and attract the attention of my soldiers?" Allegri asked.
"Of course," King Nacini took over, waving his hand and ordering, "continue the onslaught!"
His orders are much better than Ebert's. With the rousing horn blowing and the rumbling war drums beating, the elite soldiers of the Fifth Army of the Western Route Army, as well as the Fourth and Seventh Army Corps, braved the rain of arrows and arrows to charge forward. The ladder rests against the city wall, and the special hook buckles the battlement, and the defenders want to cut the iron hook, and the warriors who attack the city head are desperately defending.
Follow-up troops. Rushing to the bottom of the city wall, at least more than 30% of the damage. And with great difficulty, less than one-tenth of those who were able to climb the city wall.
This was the most tragic day since the outbreak of the Xilin offensive and defensive war. At the urging of King Nacini and Albert, the soldiers fought bloodily. Putting life and death out of the way.
Such a fierce offensive made the Xilin defender sure that this must be his main direction of attack, so he constantly mobilized troops from other defense areas to try to plug the gap in the city wall.
"Then I'll quit first. Allegri bowed, and when King Nacini waved his hand to let him go, he hurried to his right.
There, the mercenary group formed several phalanxes and waited for his arrival.
"Ready. Dios nodded. Yield it to the platform next to it. The makeshift wooden platform was only two people high, but it was enough for him to give orders.
In front of the platform, Sherrill stood with his hands a little cramped. Next to him was the captain of the Heavy Knights Squadron of the Mercenary Regiment, but today, he did not wear plate armor, only a heavy iron helmet. and the lighter golden-skinned hybrid armor.
"Where's the 'Vulcan Fury'?" Allegri asked aloud. According to his own boasting, this is his carefully selected descendant unit. But the number of people is so small that the others don't pay attention.
Seventy-two, plus Sheryl's words, seventy-three warriors, stepped forward at the same time. They wore the same attire as the Squadron Leader of the Heavy Knights, wearing nondescript gold-skin mixed armor. As well as heavy helmets. This is to ensure agility and not be accidentally injured by stray arrows on the battlefield.
"Queue!" Allegri nodded, giving a second order. These guys were originally mercenaries in the warrior battalion, and they were very skilled. What's more important is that he has a certain amount of magic potential, and now he has also meditated on more or less magical power.
The warriors of the "Vulcan's Fury" were divided into groups of two, each group was about three meters apart, a total of thirty-six groups, lined up in front of the phalanx of the mercenary group. Of course, this does not include Sheryl, although this magic apprentice's physical condition is okay, but after all, he has not received professional training, and rushing to the battlefield is no different from sending him to death.
"Shieldmen!" Allegri glanced at Dios, who immediately shouted.
This time they went south, they did not bring the hoplite unit of the mercenary regiment, but fortunately the hoplite squadron was there. This group of strong knights, after dismounting, was no different from the hoplites. Not to mention, they are not needed to fight today.
They didn't even carry swords, and they held a huge tower shield in both hands. Each of the six shieldmen is responsible for the lives of two Vulcan Wrath warriors. When the shield is raised and closed, most of the arrows will be blocked.
In addition, there is a warrior holding a sharp cone, which is also hidden in the shield array. This is also the most basic battle team configuration of the "Vulcan's Fury", with a total of nine people, each performing its own duties and cooperating with each other.
"Array. Allegri stepped down from the wooden platform and instructed Sherrel. Several mercenary warriors followed him with a wooden box, then opened the lid of the box, removed the ice silk grass, and handed him a metal array disk.
Allegri took it, looked at it for a moment, and a trace of flame magic quietly burrowed into the inside of the array, linking the two circuits together. Only after passing through his hands will these arrays be in a semi-activated state, and then those magic apprentices can rely on their own magic power to completely activate them.
This is also a small means set up by Allegri in order to protect his "patent rights".
In this way, one by one, the semi-activated "bomb" arrays were distributed to the various combat groups. Each group carries one. Since each group is equipped with two "Vulcan Fury" warriors, even if one of them is killed, the other can take the formation plate and continue to set it up.
"Let's go. After another remonstrance, Allegri gave the final order. The battle on the other section of the city wall has reached its most intense stage. Both the offensive and the defensive, almost everyone's attention, was drawn to the past.
Thirty-six shield arrays slowly marched towards the right section of the northern city wall. On a battlefield filled with blood and fire, it is difficult for them to attract the attention of others, and even if someone sees it, they will not take it to heart.
After all, on a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are invested on both sides, it is difficult for small forces to do anything. Of course, the scattered arrows still fell, and the few remaining archers on the right section of the wall symbolically began to attack. But in front of the tightly knit tower shield, this amount is not a matter of concern at all.
From the phalanx of the mercenary group to the bottom of Xilin City, it is about two miles away. More than thirty battle groups, advancing at a normal pace, soon reached the base of the city walls. In the meantime, there were also people who reported the situation to the guards on the city wall, but he was too busy to worry about these small things.
Thus, an impressive performance began.
