Heart of Empire Chapter 261: Continue

Such a close hit directly blew up the car that was heading towards the north gate of Shawan Port for an unknown number of times, and directly destroyed it.

There were cheers from the top of the city, and the soldiers were quite happy to have completed this task, which seemed to mean that they didn't need to go down one by one to die as before.

But before the cheers lasted for a long time, everyone realized something was wrong: there was more than one rushing car of the Ma Long Legion!

Soon, not long after, the second car was pushed under the city gate.

Everyone's faces turned pale again, and the soldiers all turned their attention to Verina's face again.

"Continue."

The two words, like two huge boulders, weighed down on everyone.

Just like that, one by one, under her stern and terrifying gaze, the soldiers were put into the hanging basket and pushed into the meat grinder.

The result is still mostly failure, but the luck of the second car crash seems to be not as good as the first one. Only five or six people from the first brigade died this time, and the car crash was destroyed.

Then there is the third car, the fourth car...

The hearts of the soldiers gradually became numb, but Verina was still not shaken in the slightest.

Finally, when the sixty-fourth soldier was put down, there was a bang, and the sixth vehicle of the Maron Army was destroyed.

At the same time, it is also the last one pushed up by the Ma Long Legion.

Velina clenched her fist violently, and her iron-like face also revealed an excited expression. She raised her arms high and said: "The hard price we paid was by no means in vain. Now, we have won!"

It's not just her who is excited, the mood swings of the other soldiers are no less than hers. This is really a huge price for the soldiers. Although most of the people who are still alive on the city wall have never gone down, they watched their comrades step on the road to death one by one, and they don't know who will die next. People who have not experienced it personally cannot imagine whether it is their own kind of suffering.

How can the victory obtained in this way not make people ecstatic?

However, the battle is not over yet.

The chariots of the Ma Long Legion are only one of their means of attacking the city. The artillery that is still firing shells in the distance, the catapult that is constantly throwing boulders, and the soldiers who are carrying the ladder nearby and climbing on it towards the city, are still Velina's hero in this war. problems to be faced.

Of course, the First Brigade paid a heavy price for blowing up the Malong Army's charging vehicles, but where did the other troops get easily?

When the enemy starts to attack the city, they can still use rolling logs and stone mines to hit the enemy army climbing on the ladder, but when the opponent's siege tower is pushed up, these things are basically useless.

Those siege towers wrapped in thick wooden boards moved relatively slowly, not as fast as the ladders were pushed up, but when they were put into battle, the pressure on the defenders immediately increased a lot.

Before the soldiers hiding in the siege tower stepped on the ladders in the tower to the top floor and attacked the defenders on the top of the city, it was almost difficult to take any measures to deal with them. And when they got to the top of the city, they didn't need any means—to fight head-on, only the sword is the right way.

In terms of fighting with one knife and one sword, it is purely a competition of strength.

I saw a wooden door on a siege tower being kicked open, and then, a small group of soldiers hiding in the tower rushed up, shouting slogans, and holding swords in their hands.

And the soldiers of the garrison regiment who had been prepared at the head of the city for a long time also raised their spears, and took advantage of the advantage of the weapon commander to launch the attack first.

Although several soldiers who attacked the city were stabbed to death in an instant when they rushed out, several of them still came close, forcing the defenders to throw away their long weapons and pick up swords on the ground to fight the enemy. Make a ball.

This kind of scene happened not only in one place, but also in every place that was attacked by the siege towers on the main city wall.

The most difficult moment of defending the city has finally arrived.

Fortunately, there is a city wall in front, even if the people of the Malone Legion have a siege tower as a help

It is also impossible to put too many people on the city wall in one go, so we can only go up bit by bit, and then strive to break through the gap.

However, under the dispatch and command of Verina, the master of defense, it is too difficult to achieve this when it is impossible to gain a local advantage for a while, and it can even be regarded as a local disadvantage. up.

The battle between the two sides continued to focus on this piece of city wall, and the soldiers at the top of the **** city fought bravely. But in the end, the Ma Long Legion still failed to conquer the city wall when all the rushing cars were destroyed.

After fighting for a long time, it was finally over when the afternoon was approaching dusk. The siege soldiers withdrew their positions, and in Shawan Harbor, the harbor guards who had also stormed the defense line guarded by Paran from three streets for a day but did not gain much also died down.

The entire Malone army stopped and did not continue to attack, but of course they had no intention of retreating.

The army outside the city was stationed two or three kilometers away, while the port guard retreated to the inner city.

Don't even think about it, they will definitely continue to attack tomorrow. It's even unknown whether this night can pass safely. It's just an unknown. Verina has many problems to face.

Fortunately, ~IndoMTL.com~ has some storage rooms at the city gates and walls. These storage rooms were originally used to store some equipment for defending the city, such as rolling logs, stone mines, and alchemy shells, but they also stored some food.

And it was these grains that saved the lives of the soldiers defending the city.

Regardless of whether it was the garrison battalion in the city or part of the garrison army originally stationed outside the harbor, they rushed to the north gate in a hurry. Where would there be time to prepare any supplies and rations? If it weren't for the food in the storage room at the city gate, they would have nothing to eat that night.

Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen. But the food problem is still a big trouble in front of Verina.

Although there are some grain reserves in the storage room, the amount is not much. One meal tonight, one meal during the day tomorrow, and no food at night.

She estimated that Dane's support troops would not be slow to respond, and should be able to arrive within two days. But this is just her estimate. In reality, no one can tell what will happen in these two days. She still felt that it would be better to plan for the worst.

She knew that she would definitely not be able to hold Shawan Harbor for a long time under the current situation. But at least, she can work hard to hold on for as long as possible.

In this way, the problem of food is a problem that must be solved.

After the soldiers rested, apart from the night watch troops, Verina didn't fall asleep quickly, and was still thinking about this issue. (To be continued.)
