197. Battle of siege

Yunmeng has ordered the soldiers stationed in the city defense to hide in a safe place at the root of the city wall, and the horses are also dragged into the corners where the boulders can't hit. Seeing this scene, the Philistines outside the city shook their faces and shouted: "They can't hold on anymore, they launch a strong attack!"

Two giant warriors held a giant shield to cover the front and the sky, and rushed towards the city gate with a huge hammer. In other directions, some soldiers with giant shields rushed to the wall with a ladder. Low place. Lu Sien gathered the priests to lay a magical array before the battle. Numerous singing voices came from the sky, and the glory fell to the siege soldiers. All kinds of guards were placed on the siege soldiers. One by one gap.

The Philistines used the priests at critical moments to make them form a magic circle to cover the warrior charge. At this point, the priests in the fortress should be tired. Whether it's hitting the city gate or climbing the wall, the combat effectiveness of the giant warrior should not be able to resist the soldiers defending the city.

The crossbowman is standing on a high platform. If someone shows his head to counterattack on the city wall, he will immediately be volleyed by a strong crossbow. This is the most common tactic used by the giant army to attack the castle. Many soldiers suddenly appeared on the wall of the fortress, shaking with helmets and leather armor. The trained soldiers had formed a subconscious habit, and the crossbow arrows flew towards the target in an instant.

This first round of volley is fast and accurate. The giant warrior ’s heavy crossbow is really powerful, and some arrows actually hit the wall. The soldiers on the wall almost hit all the arrows, but they did not fall immediately. The arrows in the air were like rain, and some soldiers hit several arrows in succession. At this time, Master of Gods official Lu Sien shouted: "Look at the arrows before they are accurate, those are dummies!"

The giant crossbowmen have just reacted. Someone used a wooden pole to pick up the helmet and leather armor and reached out of the pheasant, but the giant crossbowman on the high platform has already shot the first round of arrows. The heavy crossbow needs Rewind. Just then another soldier appeared on the city wall, taking a heavy crossbow that had been stringed, and salvoed from the gap of the pheasant. Their accuracy is still close, far less well-trained than the giant crossbowmen, but this sudden volley also hit a lot of giant warriors, and a dozen giant crossbowmen fell off the platform.

The shouting finally sounded, and the siege soldiers also rushed up, holding a shield and setting up a long ladder. The giant crossbowmen no longer made volleys, but instead aimed at the city wall above the siege soldiers to shoot arrows alternately, let the city defend The fighter cannot stop the giant soldiers from reaching the city. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air, and dozens of fire snakes fell, following the long ladder set up by giant soldiers into a sea of ​​fire, which was a counterattack launched by the magical array.

The soldiers of the Giant Legion also rushed to the city gate, and the ram hit the city gate with a loud noise. The lines of the city gate did not move, but the entire nearby wall shivered slightly. The Divine Grand Array combines the impact of the city gate with the city wall as a whole, either breaking the array, or even collapsing the entire tower. The hot oil on the tower fell down, was ignited in the air, and fell on the giant's shield into a sea of ​​fire.

Even if the giant warrior attacking the city gate is not caught in the flames, after a while the giant shield will be too hot to hold at all. It screams that he threw down the shield and was hit by stones thrown down the city. The giant crossbowmen immediately fired arrows. Many of the soldiers who counterattacked in the city also hit arrows. Some people lay on the pheasant with the arrow inserted. Some people fell down. Both sides were killed and injured.

The Giant Legion first bombed with flint for most of the day, consuming the protective power of the magical array of the fortress. Once the two sides engaged in the scene, it was extremely tragic. The magic circle around the city wall suddenly had a flash of light. The crossbow arrows shot by the giant crossbowmen seemed to be drawn by the thick air. The range of shots dropped to the ground halfway. The power of this magic circle suddenly recovered!

The Philistine turned and looked at Lu Sien, and he clearly asked the Master of Gods officer for his judgment error. How did the other party's magical array suddenly recover its power? Isn't it difficult to persist after a long time? Lu Sien's face was also a bit ugly, and he whispered: "This is a dying struggle, they will be unable to withstand it, we have already attacked the city!"

The Philistine immediately ordered that the chariot with the elevated platform move forward, and no matter how good the magic circle can't stop the shooting of so many powerful crossbows at close range. But the position of the crossbowman moved forward, and entered the bow and arrow range of the soldiers defending the city. The arrows of the two sides shot each other in the air. Some people in the city continued to smash down the long ladder with kerosene and boulders. one slice.

In the underground hall of the fortress, Yunmeng has replaced Raphael ’s position, and the ten magicians who assisted the formation just now have all rotated. Raphael was telling the six generals in the city: "The first trend must be held up, consuming their flint and heavy crossbow arrows. These things are not easy to supplement. If you lose your strength, you can do it next. After retreating this attack, our soldiers will also have real confidence and learn how to fight. "

The reason why the Philistines tuned the siege equipment and concentrated on attacking a fortress, because he was rewarded with a reconnaissance ride shortly after he launched the formation, and the troops of the Salang City Corps out of the city stayed outside the city for a while. Carrying the banner back, he didn't dare to go to the frontline reinforcements, so he assuredly attacked.

In the battle plan of the Philistines, it took half a day to capture this fortress, and the other fortress lost its response. The soldiers of the city watched this fortress be captured, and they would fall into despair while hanging alone in the plains. You can take it at home. These two fortresses will become forward bases for the attack on the city of Salim, and then the forward march will be in full swing.

But the situation was unexpected. From the morning to the evening, the price of nearly one hundred casualties was paid. The fortress was still not broken. The magical guardianship of the fortress was still running. The power adjusted with the strength of the siege , And at the same time defensively coldly launched a counterattack.

When the fire dragon in the air descended along the long ladder of the siege, Lu Sien also commanded the priests in the giant legion to launch a magical array, and the ice mist rolled up and scattered the fire dragon. The scene was both tragic and dazzling. Lu Sien felt very shocked. The guardian of the stronghold had been operating indefinitely for a long time. Wasn't the great magician of the manage big array still tired? He commanded the priests to assist in the siege, and now he has felt a little too hard.

Don't let down the spirit at the critical moment, otherwise you will give up your achievements. Lu Si-en avoids the most defensive gates in the direction that the priests use to focus on the magic, and the glorious lands fall on the giant soldiers who rushed to the head of the city on the long ladder. The arrows and stones hit by the defenders were blocked by the giant shield. The magical array of the defenders was also opened by Lu Sien's magic. Several soldiers were already on the wall.

Drums of orders were heard in the fortress, and figures of armored guards appeared on the wall that was about to be captured. The skillful giant crossbowmen immediately cooperated with the siege soldiers to shoot towards this section of the wall. The soldiers in the city were shooting arrows, and giant warriors had jumped on the walls with their choppers. As long as these people stand firm on the city walls, the giant warriors behind will rush up.

A critical roar was heard at the critical juncture, and a huge long tail gleaming in golden light suddenly rolled up from the air and swept down the city fiercely, overturning the three long ladders erected on the wall. The sergeant sergeant rushed over to encircle the five or six giant warriors who had climbed the wall, and took the opportunity to slash and kill.

The soldiers of the giant legion in the city battle were stunned in an instant, and there were terrifying monsters in the fortress! Is that the magician of manage big array also proficient in summoning magic? Lu Sien raised his staff in shock, the surrounding priests sang in unison, the smoke and flames in the air quickly condensed, and a giant snake with open teeth and claws appeared, emitting thick smoke and flames and rushed to the city. In any case, the gap must be washed away, and the giant snake turned into a monster will be used to fight monsters.

But after the long tail swept away, there was no monster sound. The giant crossbowmen outside the city only felt a flower in front of them, and they saw a beautiful girl suddenly jump into the pheasant. The girl was petite and wore a fiery red shirt, so bright and eye-catching on the battlefield, the crossbowmen even forgot to throw arrows at her for a moment.

Although the girl is beautiful, the things in her hands are terrifying. Qianqianyu hands are held high above her head, holding a stone ball larger in diameter than her half of the body, wrapped around a fire that has been extinguished by half. Ma, it was just the giant army array shot into the city with a catapult. As soon as the girl appeared, she picked up the big stone ball and slammed it towards the landing!

With a sharp whistle, the stone ball re-ignited the flames in the mid-air and the violent friction between the air. If this hit, Lu Sien, the great magician, had to be turned into flying flesh on the spot. Too sudden, Lu Sien was commanding the Divine Array to assist the soldiers to attack the city, and it was too late to evade. He hurriedly picked a staff. The giant snake that had just condensed in the air was facing the boulder, and the smashed body of the snake was scattered and flew. Stone fell into the Divine Array.

It's okay to roll over such a large stone and kill two or three priests. At this time, a roar is heard, and a dazzling brilliance comes flying diagonally, smashing and crushing the huge stone ball. It turned out that the commander of the giant legion, Philistine, suddenly took a leap on the chariot, waving a giant sword and jumping before the formation of the priest. Philistine himself is also an eighth-level warrior. Due to the talent of the plateau giant, his power is amazing.

Yunmeng saw the Philistine shot, and shouted on the tower: "A stupid and stupid big man, if you have a species, go to the city to fight me!"

Lu Sien hurriedly shouted at the back: "Lord Commander, you are the coach of the whole army, don't go to the city in person!" He was afraid that Lu Sien really rushed to the city wall, in case the coach was trapped in the fortress and the soldiers could not attack If you go up, the army's heart will be chaotic. Unexpectedly, there was not only a great magician in the city, the girl was obviously a great warrior. Seeing her throw the flying stones with her bare hands, she also had a battle with the Philistines.

Even if the Philistines are even more powerful, they are not invincible warriors like Enqi, after all, he is the coach of the whole army, and even if he can rush up the city wall alone, he ca n’t do such a brazen act. The sword shouted: "Girl, you will fight out of town if you have a species!"

The crossbowmen finally let go of their arrows. Dozens of heavy crossbows rang, and the giant arrow shot at Yunmeng with the sound of breaking the sky. Yunmeng suddenly pulled out a long-handed mace from behind the city wall With a wave of volley, with a gust of wind, the crossbow arrows were smashed. This mace is twice as long as her body, and the huge hammer head is covered with spikes. It is so shocking that it will look silly to the giant warrior on the opposite side.

Yunmeng shot down the arrow and pointed at the Philistine with his mace: "Are you as stupid as you? Out of town and you decisive battle? Thinking of beauty! ... Are n’t you attacking the city, then? Come in by yourself! "After speaking, he turned and jumped off the wall without seeing him. The Philistine stared at the giant sword for a long time, and it was at this time that the Scout Rider sent forward returned in return, and the army of the city of Salim was dispatched again.

......

At dusk, the fierce attack of the Giant Legion finally came to an end, and the fighting sounds subsided. The fortress withstood the first round of shock, and the soldiers who defended the city paid the price of nearly a hundred casualties. Five hundred soldiers have such a large proportion of casualties. If they are arrayed in an open field, the battle array may have been crushed long ago. Fortunately, it was relying on the fort of the fortress.

Except for a part of the civilians sent by the Syrian city-state, these soldiers have never experienced war. Everyone was very nervous when the battle of siege just started. To a certain extent, people were either numb or collapsed. After successfully resisting the violent attack of the Giants, everyone has real confidence, not unreasonable fanatic confidence. It turns out that they can also fight!

In the underground hall in the middle of the castle, Raphael is resting. There is a **** stone in the two castle magical arrays that can show each other's images, and Raphael is talking to Link in the other castle. Link asked: "How are the casualties?"

Raphael replied: "With the magical array and the fortress, there are still nearly a hundred casualties. The battle of defending the city is almost the same as the casualties of the siege, and the giant army's combat power is indeed powerful."

Linke: "The Chief George said that the combat effectiveness of the army was achieved, and that was the case with the An-Latin Legion. The Giant Legion came in fiercely. The first attack was the most fierce, you withstood it. Is victory. "

Raphael: "This kind of siege is too expensive, and the Giant Legion ca n’t spend it unlimitedly, but I do n’t know how many more rounds of such assault they can have? Even if the warriors can persevere, it ’s a magical battle. The impact was too great, and the spare **** stone I stored here has consumed half of it today. "

Linke: "I have been watching the battlefield. Their blasting city flint and heavy crossbow arrows are very expensive. These things can not be arbitrarily replenished in the short term. Fifty catapults have also been damaged during use. Car, I never thought that your bones would be so hard to eat. At such a great price, they should launch a more intense attack, and you have to prepare for another fierce battle. If you ca n’t hold it, I will immediately reinforce it. . "

Raphael shook his head and said: "In any case, I will withstand the next round of attack. George has an order. In the first two rounds of attack, you can not act rashly, unless the magical array is broken, let Yunmeng takes us to your side. Before the breakout, you need to start a large formation to send troops out of the city to pretend to respond. I think that the city of Salim should also act according to plan now. "

......

At dusk, the attack had to stop, and the Giant Legion should also rest. The soldiers launched a three-wave attack in rotation, and did not win the fortress, and the lined up guard lined up for a day. After dark, it is not suitable for fighting in a large army. The archers of archery can't see the target clearly. They need to camp for the whole army to eat and rest, and send a scout to guard on all sides.

The location of the two fortresses is a little embarrassing. The Philistine wants to return to Enlil City a little bit far. The army must spend the night on the road. He had planned to retreat and camped three miles later, and then organized an offensive tomorrow. The quartermaster reported the cost of the battle. In addition to nearly a hundred casualties, the siege firestone and heavy crossbow arrows carried by the army consumed a third.

The catapult throws stones. In theory, as long as the weight does not exceed the limit, stones of similar size can be thrown out. But well-trained soldiers can use the stone **** of specific specifications and shapes to hit the longest range and the most accurate hit rate. Hengcheng Firestone is specially mined and processed. Of course, heavy crossbow arrows also require special craftsmen to make, and there are many processes, which are important strategic materials.

It is impossible to carry too many flints and heavy arrows in the formation, all of which are rationed according to operational needs. The materials in continuous operations require a continuous flow of logistics quartermasters to the front. The Philistines originally intended to break through the walls of the city of Salim. The occupation of the fortress was just a hit, but I did not expect it to succeed today. Looking at this frame, the flint and heavy arrows carried by the legion had to be exhausted when they captured the two fortresses. He quickly ordered the logistics team to be urgently transported from Enril.

The logistic civilians were camping, but most of the soldiers in the legion were not allowed to rest. After the siege battle line retreated, the remaining 2,000 soldiers set up the battle line on the avenue again, and there was a murderous atmosphere in the dusk.

According to the news reported by Scout Rider, more than 1,000 people from the Salang Legion lined up outside the city in the morning, but they retreated to the city shortly after. In the afternoon, more than a thousand people left the city and lined up to move towards the positions of the two fortresses. Many soldiers were holding torches that had not yet been ignited. Obviously, they wanted to take advantage of the night to reinforce. Do they want to fight for a night? Are you fighting?

Night warfare is most afraid of chaos and trampling between the enemy and the enemy, so the Philistine strict army formation, ordered to maintain the most stringent impact formation can not be chaotic, only waiting for the decisive battle. If the main force of the Salim Legion can be defeated, the two fortresses standing alone will sooner or later not break through.

The Philistines stood on the chariot, holding a sabre in majestic winds, the night came when the temperature was getting colder, and the night wind blew through the armor, and the soldiers felt a burst of chill. There is a distance of fifty miles from the city of Salim to the fortress, not far nor close. The Legion of Salens should arrive at midnight. The Legion of Giants is ready to work. The Philistines have ordered the soldiers to prepare torches. In the history of the war on the Tianshu Continent, there has almost never been a large army lineup to fight against each other at night. Could the commander of the other party not fight at all? RO
