Power and Empire Chapter 166: Nanfang Fengyan (2)
The northern fortress of Sartos, Dyrentuuk
Riva carts are densely packed tents, and the water surrounding Dyrentuuk fortress is blocked. On the narrow mountain road in front of the fortress wall, groups of siege soldiers, like a colony of ants, carry the makeshift wooden ladders.
Along the narrow mountain road, they launched wave after wave of attacks on the fortress, which looked like ants moving from a distance.
The fortress is built on a very high terrain, with a steep cliff of hundreds of meters behind it, and only a narrow mountain road extends to the gate of the fortress, which makes it impossible for people to deploy the Riwa vehicles with superior forces.
can only rush up in teams, there are not many defenders in the fortress, but on the narrow fortress wall, a dozen of the latest large ballistas of Samor lined up to rush up the mountain road. The enemy’s shooter turned on their backs,
This kind of large ballista is a special ballista for fortress developed by the Military Industry Research Institute after the fat man learned the lesson of the fortress’s lack of heavy defensive weapons after the last battle of Kyoto.
The middle-end arrow slot of this kind of ballista can be replaced with a large iron cone arrow slot for destroying siege equipment, and an arrow slot for attacking infantry groups, which can shoot 30 at a time. An armor-piercing arrow has a special loading device, just arrange the arrowheads and install them into the slots.
Fatty was originally going to use it in Kyoto. Because the situation in Kyoto is relatively stable, he gave priority to equipping the southern defenders. Unexpectedly, the dadaniel family was hit by this daunting weapon.
This is the sixth charge today. Thousands of broken and torn corpses are scattered on the mountain road like fragments. An arrow can’t resist even a shield,
"Hiss!" A screaming and screaming, a Japanese soldier was cut into two pieces by the piercing arrows that roared past. The blood mixed with internal organs splashed on the faces of his surrounding companions, and his head and limbs were powerful. The impact force squeezed and scattered around like an explosion,
All the soldiers of the Shiva car were frightened and weakened. Death is not terrible, but this method of death is too terrifying, one by one they would rather bow their heads and hide behind the rocks. Even though the squadron leaders behind him screamed desperately, they would never move.
"No, without a catapult, my troops can't rush up!" Balantis carried his sword all over the mud and walked into the big tent angrily.
"The catapult takes ten hours to build! The catapult will not be built until night at the earliest."Tirango reminds me of his displeased face." The reinforcements of the Samoans will appear at any time, and our time is very limited! Dada Lord Nierkh’s main force is moving in here. Are you going to let the Honorable Dardanilkh Lord see the falcon flag flying on the fortress?"
"Then what do you want us to do!" Balantis sat down on a chair unconvinced, and shouted with a unique loud voice, "You haven't seen the arrow-spitting monsters on the fortress, I'm the one. The reloaded squadron went up and was shot dead in the blink of an eye. Those thick iron arrows could kill a bunch of people with one arrow. You didn't see the blood splashing..."
The brave Battis shook his head with a look of lingering fear. If it hadn't been flashy just now, Battis himself had almost confessed to the mountain road.
Hearing Balantis’ description, the frontline tent fell into a dead silence, all the elders, look at me, I look at you, no one gnaws, even the first brave general in the army, Balantis, can’t rush. Go up, not to mention yourself
Chief Tirango's face is as solemn as water. It is not an honorable thing for 10,000 forwards to block a fortress of thousands of people for two days.
Although I know that the Satsuma people are a hard bone, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to eat. This army is completely different from the army I have encountered before.
In desperate situation, I still fear death. The persuasion envoy I sent yesterday was directly shot into a hornet's nest by the crossbow on the fortress. The less time comes, the Samorite reinforcements will appear in front of my eyes at any time. Rango didn't want his own army to repeat the mistakes of the noble army. Tens of thousands of aristocratic troops were not just dragged by a small fortress, and the Samorians turned around as a result.
"It seems that I can only ask him!" Tirango sighed helplessly. Although somewhat reluctant, there was no way. His slender eyes looked at the corner of the big tent, who closed his eyes and calmed down. , The feminine voice is somewhat flattering,
"I don't know if there is a good way for General Olemt who has experienced many battles?" As the original commander in chief of Shiva Chaze, Olemute is a famous general in the southern part of the kingdom. It is a pity. He was a staunch opponent of this war, so he was stripped of the title of commander by the Dardanelles, leaving rookie Tirango on top.
This time Tirango brought him by his side. He was called an adjutant. It was really a surveillance. After all, Olamte had a high reputation in the army of Zhivache, and Tirango needed to use his reputation to command the entire army. .
Seeing Olemt unmoved, Tirango continued, "Whether your Excellency opposes this war or not, this is a family decision. Anyway, the people who are now dying are Shivache!"
Hearing Tirango's low voice asking for help, Olamte's eyes revealed a gleam of light and said slowly
" In fact, this is not difficult. There are dense trees all around. We only need to send people to cut down, arrange the trees together to form a tree wall, and keep pushing it up!"
"Good idea!" Balantis stood up excitedly, "Leave it to me! I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"
Seeing everyone in the big tent looked at Olemt’s adoring gaze, Tirango’s eyes flashed with sinisterness.
Soon, the people of Shiva once again pushed the rows of huge wooden walls and began to move towards the fortress. Teams of Shiva cars with shields in their hands hid behind the wooden wall, just waiting to get close to the fortress gate. Put down the wooden raft and rush up directly as a siege ladder
"Dangdang" The arrows shot by a fortress ballista were nailed to the wooden wall and could not be shaken. The wooden platoon slowly approached the fortress wall, and the Samoans on the wall began to panic. Teams of melee battles Infantry and crossbowmen began to appear on the wall, and only waited for the enemy to approach, they would give a fatal blow.
"Wow" the Riwa cart behind the wooden raft was forced to dump the wooden raft at the same time. The wooden raft tilted down and hit the crevice of the castle wall with a "boom", building a road between the city wall and the mountain road. Wide passage
"Kill! Kill me the Samorians!" Balantis held the siege shield, and rushed to the fortress wall first. A whistling sound came from Balantis' ears. Scratch over,
The thick crossbow arrows shot the soldiers on both sides of them in opposite directions, "Damn!" Balantis was frightened by the crossbow carts lined up on the city road not far away. Rolling back~IndoMTL.com~ A row of crossbow arrows passed through Balantis' head with a violent wind, and more than a dozen Japanese cars rushing in the front were shot into a ground gourd by the siege soldiers, and they rushed up from behind. People were knocked over, too,
The dense arrow rain covered again, and the soldier who rushed up fell a piece, and the gap just opened was blocked by a pile of dead bodies,
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 ten large ballistas, facing the gap where the wooden platoon fell.
The soldiers swarmed up the Shiva carts, and a large chunk was cut off by the soldiers. The other siege soldiers rushed to the fortress wall by taking advantage of the gap where the ballista was loaded.
The spears of the fortress defenders and the flail of the siege soldiers are entangled. The narrow gaps are crowded with people. Shields hit the shields. Layers are stacked. The crossbowmen in the fortress arrow tower keep moving from Shoot deadly crossbow arrows high,
"Rush in and kill the Samorians!" The infantry captains in heavy armor waved their spears and shouted loudly. The resistance of the Samorians was very tenacious, with three meters in their hands. The spear, coupled with the constant firing of the ballista behind him, made the people of Shiva pay a heavy price. The corpses piled up more than a meter high in the battlement, and people kept rolling down from the city wall
But there were only a thousand defenders in the fortress, and the Shiva carts surging behind pushed forward the pile of corpses in front, which greatly reduced the power of the ballista, if it were not for the help of the arrow tower sniper crossbowman. , Has already been broken through the line of defense
Just when the people of Shivache thought that victory was in sight, a loud bugle sounded from the fortress arrow tower, and the Satsuma garrison ran away unceremoniously, which made the day when they were still fighting. Wache is puzzled. Seeking recommendation, seeking collection
