Northern Fort of Satos, Dylantuk

On the narrow mountain road in front of the fortress wall, groups of siege soldiers carried a temporary long wooden ladder like a colony of ants.

Along the narrow mountain road, wave after wave of attacks on the fortress looked like ants moving from a distance.

The fortress was built on a very high terrain, with a steep cliff of hundreds of meters in the rear, and only a narrow mountain road extending to the fortress gate, which made it impossible for the Riwa chariots with superior forces to deploy.

There were not many defenders in the fortress, but on the narrow walls of the fortress, a dozen large ballista carts of the latest type of Satour were lined up, turning the enemy who rushed up the mountain road on their backs.

This kind of large ballista is a special ballista for large fortresses developed by the Military Industry Research Institute after the last Battle of Kyoto, and the fat man learned the lesson of the lack of heavy defensive weapons in the fortress.

The mid-end arrow slot of this ballista can be replaced with a large iron cone arrow slot for destroying siege equipment, and a scattered arrow slot for infantry cluster charges, which can shoot thirty armor-piercing arrows at a time, and there are special loading equipment, only need to arrange the arrows and put them into the slot.

The fat man was originally going to be used in Kyoto, because the situation in Kyoto was relatively stable, so he gave priority to equipping the southern defenders, but he didn't expect to hit the crooked attack, and this kind of terrifying killing weapon made the Dardanelles family run into it.

This is the sixth charge today, thousands of broken and torn corpses, scattered like fragments on the mountain road, every time before they get close to the city gate, the wall is raining arrows, and the thick armor-piercing arrows are even shields that cannot resist.

"Hiss!" a terrible roar, a soldier of the day wagon was cut in two by the whizzing armor-piercing arrows, blood mixed with internal organs splashed on the faces of the surrounding companions, the head and limbs were squeezed by the powerful impact, scattered everywhere like an explosion,

All the soldiers of the Riwa Chariot were frightened and weak, death was not terrible, but this way of death was too terrifying, and they would rather hide behind the rocks with their heads bowed. Even if the squadron leaders behind him screamed desperately, they would never move.

"No, my troops can't rush up without catapults!" Barantis walked into the tent angrily with his sword covered in mud,

"The catapult will take ten hours to build, and it will not be built until night at the earliest," Tirango reminded with a displeased face, "Reinforcements from the Samoorians will appear at any time, and we have limited time!" Lord Dardanielhe's main army is marching here, are you ready to let the honorable Lord Dardanelleh see the falcon banner fluttering on the fortress?"

"Then what do you want us to do!" Barantis sat on the chair unconvinced, and shouted in a unique loud voice, "You didn't see those monsters spitting arrows at the head of the fortress city, Lao Tzu went up with a heavy squadron, and in the blink of an eye, he was shot to death, and those thick iron arrows can kill a string of people with one arrow, you didn't see the blood splattered......"

The brave Batis shook his head with a palpitating face, if it wasn't for the flash just now, Batis himself would have almost confessed to the mountain road.

Hearing Balantis's description, the front tent fell into a dead silence, and all the lieutenant commanders, you look at me, I look at you, no one made a sound, and even Balantis, the first brave general in the army, couldn't rush up, let alone himself

The face of the commander-in-chief Tirango was as solemn as water, and it was not a glorious thing for 10,000 forwards to block a fortress of thousands of people for two days

Although I knew that the Samora people were a hard bone, I didn't expect it to be so difficult, this army was completely different from the army I had met before.

Faced with a desperate situation, he was still not afraid of death, and the messenger he sent yesterday was directly shot into a hornet's nest by the crossbow arrows on the fortress, and the less time came, the reinforcements of the Samorian people would appear in front of him at any time, and Tirango did not want his army to repeat the mistakes of the noble army. Tens of thousands of noble troops were dragged down by a small fortress, and the result was that the Samorians reversed.

"It seems that I have to beg him!" Tirango sighed helplessly, although with a little reluctance, but there was no way, his slender eyes looked at Olemut who closed his eyes in the corner of the big tent, and his feminine voice was a little flattering,

"I don't know if there is any good way for the battle-hardened General Olemut?", as the original commander-in-chief of Zhiwache, Olemut is a famous general in the south of the kingdom, but unfortunately he is a staunch opponent of this war, so he was stripped of the title of commander by the Dardanelles family, and let the rookie Tirango take the top.

This time, Tirango took him with him, called Adjutant, and was actually a surveillance, after all, Olemut had a high reputation in the army of Zhiwacheze, and Tirango also needed to use his prestige to lead the whole army.

Seeing that Olemut was unmoved, Tirango continued, "Whether Your Excellency is against this war or not, this is the family's decision, and in any case, it is the people of Zhiwache who are dying now!"

Hearing Tirango's low voice for help, Olemut's eyes showed a glimmer of light, and he said slowly, "Actually, it's not difficult, there are dense trees all around, we just need to send someone to cut down, arrange the trees together, form a tree wall, and keep pushing them up!"

"Good idea!" Balantis stood up excitedly, "I'll leave this matter to me!

Seeing the adoring gazes of the people in the tent looking at Olemut, Tirango's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterity.

Soon, the Riwa Che people pushed the rows of huge wooden walls again and began to move towards the fortress, and a group of Riwa Che soldiers with shields in their hands hid behind the wooden walls, and just waited for the fortress gate to put down the wooden rafts and rush up directly as siege ladders

The arrows fired by the ballista of the fortress were nailed to the wooden wall, unable to shake a bit, and the wooden platoon slowly approached the fortress wall, and the Samorians on the city wall began to panic, and groups of melee infantry and crossbowmen began to appear on the city wall, just waiting for the enemy to approach and give a fatal blow.

The day wagon behind the wooden raft was forced to fall down at the same time, and the wooden raft fell down tiltedly, and the "boom" crashed into the battlement of the castle, setting up a wide passage between the city wall and the mountain road

"Kill, kill those Samors for me!" Balantis, with the siege shield in his hand, was the first to rush up the walls of the fortress, and a whistling sound blew past Balantis's ears,

The thick crossbow bolts pierced the soldiers on both sides of him, "Damn!" Balantis was frightened by the ballista carts lined up on the city road not far away, and rolled backwards very spinelessly,

A row of crossbow arrows carried a strong wind through Balantis's head, and the siege soldiers who rushed to the front of the dozen Riwa carts were shot into rolling gourds, and those who rushed up behind were also knocked to the ground.

The dense rain of arrows covered again, and the soldiers who rushed up fell one by one, and the gap that had just opened was blocked by a pile of corpses,

It turned out that the defenders of the fortress saw that the ballista was restrained, and immediately dragged the ballista into the city road, and lined up more than a dozen large ballista carts, facing the gap where the wooden row had fallen

The soldiers who swarmed up the sun-tiles were cut off in large pieces, and the other siege soldiers took advantage of the gap in the ballista carts to rush up the walls of the fortress.

The spears of the defenders of the fortress and the flails of the siege soldiers were entangled, and in the narrow gaps, people were crowded, shields hit shields, and they were stacked on top of each other, and the crossbowmen in the fortress turrets continued to shoot deadly crossbow arrows from above.

"Rush in and kill all the Satsuma!" The heavily armored infantry captains, waving the spears in their hands, shouted loudly, the resistance of the Satsuma people was very tenacious, the three-meter spear in their hands, coupled with the continuous shooting of the ballista behind them, made the Riwa people pay a heavy price, the corpses were piled up at the battlement mouth more than a meter high, and people kept rolling down from the city wall

However, the defenders of the fortress were only more than a thousand people, and the Riwa carts that rushed behind pushed the piles of corpses in front of them, which greatly reduced the power of the ballista, and if it were not for the help of the sniper crossbowmen of the arrow tower, they would have already broken through the defensive line

Just when the people of Riwa Che thought that victory was in sight, a loud military horn came from the fortress arrow tower, and the defenders of Satamo ran away very unceremoniously, which made the people of Riwa Che, who was still fighting just now, confused.
