The sun had completely risen, and it already made people feel a little warm when shining on their bodies, but at this moment, the hearts of the soldiers of the Northwest Legion of the Empire guarding the city were cold.
They watched with their own eyes as the Great Moon Kingdom launched the first wave of attacks of the day In the formation of the Great Moon Kingdom under the city, the horn sounded, and then the infantry queue dodged a few passages, and more than a dozen arrow blocking carts made of huge wooden planks were slowly pushed out, and the huge wooden planks were wrapped with a thick layer of yak skin soaked in water, which was slippery and thick, enough to resist the arrows shot on the city wall.
Even the wind blades and fireballs sent by the Warlocks of the Imperial Army defending the city could not fail to deal great damage.
Several phalanxes of thousands of people hid behind the huge archery carts, slowly approaching the city walls.
Behind the arrow van were groups of infantry carrying ladders.
When the wheels of those bulky arrow blocking carts crushed over the wilderness, making a squeaking sound, and when they were pushed within the range of the bow and arrows, Ruben gave an order, and the thousands of archers on the city wall immediately let go of the bows that were already full in their hands, and thousands of sharp arrows immediately poured down from the city wall, and most of the arrows were blocked by the heavy wooden planks several feet high erected on the arrow blocking vehicles, but there were still a small number of arrows that hit the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom from the position that the arrow could not cover.
Countless soldiers fell to the ground amid screams, some were pierced by arrows and died, some were shot in vital parts, and fell to the ground without dying for a while, and they rolled and wailed in the wilderness.
The fierceness of the steppe aliens made no one in their formation slow down or run back in fear, they pushed the arrow cart so bravely and tried to get close to the city wall, although the companions around them kept being hit by arrows and fell to the ground, they threw a sad look at the most, and then immediately turned around and gritted their teeth and shot at the imperial soldiers at the head of the city with a fierce and angry gaze, pushing the arrow cart with all their strength and trying to move forward.
At the same time, the archers in the front row of the Great Moon Kingdom's army also took action, and thousands of strong bows returned fire at the blind fire that began on the city wall.
Fortunately, there were hundreds of white-robed warlocks wearing special orders of the Imperial Army on the city wall that immediately rose into the air, and hundreds of warlocks simultaneously sent out an arc-shaped light curtain, which shrouded most of the city wall, and thousands of sharp arrows shot at the light curtain, only a few vibrations, and then fell softly from the side.
After the first wave of covering arrows, Ruben ordered the archers to wait for him, it was not cost-effective to waste arrows on the tall planks on the arrow blocking carts, and now stop shooting arrows in order to save the limited number of arrows and wait for the opposing troops to finally prepare to build a ladder to the city.
Ruben sighed fiercely, if only even a third of the bows and arrows stored in the Mudan Heavy Town could be brought out The bulky arrow cart was finally pushed close to the city wall, and the arrow shield was no longer useful, because the archers on the wall could already see the soldiers of the Otsuki Kingdom hiding behind the arrow almost vertically.
Immediately, Ruben ordered the city to immediately pour down a dense number of bows and arrows again, and countless bows and arrows made a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, pressing down like dense rain.
The hundreds of white-clothed warlocks also immediately disappeared the light curtain, only to see a burst of red light on the city wall, and the white clothes on each warlock seemed to be surrounded by a layer of firelight, and then whirring, more than a hundred fireballs fell from the sky and smashed into the military formation of the Great Moon Kingdom.
The explosions came one after another, some soldiers hid behind the arrow blocking car, and some soldiers immediately raised thick cowhide shields, those fireballs smashed on the shields, and some small fireballs immediately shattered, stirring up sparks and flying everywhere.
And the large fireballs sent by all the powerful warlocks often smashed the besieging soldiers and even their shields.
After a military horn, the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom overturned the shield that had no effect, and the team carrying the ladder behind quickly rushed forward, and the imperial soldiers defending the city immediately found the huge threat, and almost all the bows and arrows shot towards the team carrying the ladder.
Under the dense rain of arrows, people kept screaming and falling, the ground in front of the city wall was dyed into patches of oozing crimson, the corpses of countless soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom were lying on the ground, and there were many people who did not die for a while, desperately trying to climb forward.
The team carrying the cloud ladder is the most serious casualty, the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom carrying the cloud ladder have been killed and wounded, and many of the remaining people are also wounded, but as long as a soldier of the Great Moon Kingdom carrying the cloud ladder falls, there are other soldiers next to him who immediately rushed up to fill his position, and some even rushed up with their own bodies to block in front of the companion who carried the cloud ladder, one person was hit by an arrow and fell, and immediately two more pounced Lu Ben gritted his teeth, he really couldn't think of why these barbarians of the grassland alien race, There will be that kind of frightening bravery and toughness Ten huge ladders finally reached the city wall.
The imperial defenders immediately tried their best to push the ladder under the city wall, and some of the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom bit their scimitars in their mouths, and they had already climbed halfway there, and as the ladder was pushed by the other party, they fell from mid-air with a scream and slammed into the ground.
There were some stones falling down from the city, and many soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom had already climbed halfway up to the ladder, and they were immediately hit by the stones that fell head-on, and then fell down with a cry.
The soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom below usually had to use all their strength to hold down the ladder and prevent the other party from pushing the dao.
Finally, after paying a heavy price, the first group of a dozen soldiers climbed the city on a cloud ladder, and after they boarded, they were greeted by swords stabbed from all directions, and these steppe alien warriors roared bravely while rushing up to fight with the imperial defenders, they slashed with swords, hit with fists, and even bit their teeth Some of the seriously injured, they grabbed an imperial defender closest to them and jumped down the city, Owing to the death, even pulling an enemy to the end, the soldiers of Otsuki even on the verge of death have to slam their bodies into the most dense places of hostility, keep the enemy away from the cloud ladder that has been erected, and buy time for their companions who come up behind Reuben's eyes were red, and he was surprised by the unexpected bravery of the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom, and at the same time gritted his teeth and issued orders one after another, sending his teams of reserve soldiers to various weak corners of the city wall.
The first team of soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom who climbed the city wall fought desperately, and the soldiers behind immediately climbed up from this cloud ladder in a steady stream.
When Reuben discovered this weak point, he immediately asked his officers to wave the command flag, and mobilized a group of soldiers to surround him, trying to drive down the enemy troops who had killed him.
The city walls were filled with screams and roars, severed limbs and stumps flew out from time to time, alien warriors armed with scimitars were entangled with the defenders of the empire, many foreign warriors killed fiercely, and actually ripped off the leather armor and helmets on their bodies, roaring while rushing up and fighting with the soldiers of the empire, every sword swing would bring out a piece of blood, and every knife would be accompanied by a wail In the distance, in the army formation of the Great Moon Kingdom under the city, a group of burly warriors wearing black leather armor surrounded a black war horse.
A man on the horse, a burly figure wrapped in a snow-white leather robe, long brown hair braided into countless small whips behind his head, one hand gently holding the thick brown beard on his chin.
A pair of eagle-like sharp eyes stared coldly at the battle on the city wall, and the corners of his mouth pulled a sinister smile.
At his waist hung a strangely shaped scimitar of astonishing length, the hilt of which was impressively made of pure gold "Tell the other people to prepare," his voice was low and cold.
Then he turned around and smiled at the man on a horse behind him, "It seems that the army of the Empire of Light still has a bit of weight, and that Reuben is not a straw bale.
It's a pity that I don't have a warlock in my hand, otherwise it would have been much easier.
But fortunately, they don't have many warlocks, and they can't support it, so they can't support it and rest."
Behind him, on a red horse, sat a slender man, dressed in a black leather robe that wrapped his body tightly, and even a pair of hands with leather gloves.
A cloak was draped over his head, and a black veil covered his face tightly, leaving only a pair of slender eyes.
"Rochenthal, you are really a cold-blooded guy" The man sneered lightly, his voice was extremely clear, and then he said lightly: "You are wasting the lives of your soldiers, although Reuben was defeated by you, but occupying this fortress, with the little third-rate infantry you trained in a short time, it is not at all." ” "Hmph" Rochenthal smiled coldly, and an eagle-like gaze shrouded the man's face: "Do you think my warriors are not brave enough?"
"To be brave is to be brave, but not to know how to use your brain.
Infantry doesn't depend on bravery, you look at how Reuben's soldiers fight, I admit that your cavalry is very good, but infantry is not as simple as you think.
Take a closer look, in a one-on-one situation, Reuben's soldiers really can't beat your subordinates, but if the soldiers of the three empires form a group, they can effectively block at least five of your third-rate infantry, not to mention" This person's tone paused slightly, and there was a hint of disapproval in his voice: "Their warlocks only need to rest for half an hour before they can recover." ” Rochenthal raised his thick eyebrows, and there was a bit of tyrannical gaze in his eyes, and then this gaze flashed, he suddenly laughed, and said in a low voice: "Look, before the sun goes down today, I will definitely be able to capture Watt Fortress, my infantry is indeed inferior to Reuben, but he can't support it for long, he has fought so many defeats, morale is insufficient, the soldiers can't hold out for long, they will lose their slackness, as long as I continue to attack ruthlessly, they will soon be defeated" "Hmph" The black-clothed masked man smiled indifferently, and his tone was calm: "I believe you can capture it, Ruben is now at the end of the crossbow."
But as I said, you're wasting the lives of soldiers.
What you can do with losing 10,000 people, but you have to lose 30,000 people to do it, what is the point of such a victory" With a little bit of mockery, the man in black no longer glanced at Rochenthal, slowly turned his horse's head, and walked backwards, not caring at all about the fierce fighting on the city wall in the distance.
When the man in black left, Rochenthal showed a bit of anger in his eyes, and said fiercely: "Of course I know that such a siege has a lot of losses, but what can I do That Reuben burned everything with a fire, I have no food and grass, can I be here with him The people of the Roland Continent are the same as the people of the Bright Empire, these guys of different races, there is no good thing" ` Important S: Next week is coming, and I will try to seize the time to update a little more over the weekend.
