On the 12th day, the two sides had already fought some battles.

Dain's siege equipment has not been built yet, after all, he has just approached the city. However, the artillery positions had already moved forward and began to clash with Hekatim's defensive artillery on the top of the city.

The roar of alchemy explosives filled the entire battlefield. However, this day's confrontation can be regarded as thunderous and rainy.

Dain never expected to knock on the gate of Mihe City with just artillery troops. According to intelligence, there are not a few artillery pieces on the top of Mihe City. Although the quality of the artillery is inferior to that of Dane's artillery unit, and there is a slight gap in the quantity, but after all, they occupy the advantage of the condescending terrain, and in terms of range and accuracy, they are better than Dai En who cannons fired upwards on the ground. En's artillery unit is more advantageous.

Generally speaking, in this kind of confrontation, the two sides are evenly matched. But there is no need for Dane to push the artillery position too far forward. Although that will achieve good results, the losses will undoubtedly become greater.

After half an afternoon of artillery fire, Dane lost two cannons, and the enemy's defensive artillery on the top of the city was also knocked out. Both sides honked their whistles to retreat.

On the morning of the second day, the artillery was still firing at each other, and the soldiers on both sides had never had a real hand-to-hand encounter. This time, the confrontation still didn't make much progress, and the intensity was still not great. Dane's artillery unit was completely intact, but the defenders were even more unlucky and got knocked out.

At noon, the two sides blew their whistles to withdraw their troops.

For almost a day and a half, Dane was not in a hurry to attack Mihe City, but that didn't mean he didn't do anything. Why doesn't Dane want to go all out and take the city directly? However, Greeting Card Tim's cautious attitude still caused certain obstacles.

If this guy can come out and fight with him in the wild, then the matter will be resolved. It's just that the enemy can't do such a stupid thing. Heka Tim is crazy, and he will go out of the city to fight Dane when Dane is strong and powerful.

Therefore, it is of course impossible to attack the city, especially if you want to conquer Mihe, a city with many soldiers garrisoned directly. All necessary preparations for siege must be made, such as ramming vehicles aimed at the city gate, such as siege towers and ladders.

On the afternoon of the 13th, when Dane had prepared all these things, he launched his first attack.

The four main regiments of the main army lined up and stopped outside the range of the enemy's artillery. Then, the infantry began to push the ramming vehicles and the siege towers forward.

The two sides fought first, or their respective artillery units. It's just that the intensity of shelling each other this time is completely different from the ones in the morning and yesterday. Dane's artillery, approaching with the artillery, perfectly reached the optimal range, and then began to fire violently at the city. Although, in the process of advancing, Dane's artillery lost a group, but only the remaining ones were enough to suppress Hekatim's defensive artillery.

Following the artillery units are the siege implements pushed by the infantry.

Thousands of mighty soldiers were pushing all kinds of equipment forward, and the mass of black heads made the enemy soldiers on the city wall feel quite depressed.

The military officers who supervised the battle on the top of the city also felt the solemnity of the atmosphere. These officers from Lost City or Cinderella, no matter what, their war literacy is still no problem. They held their breath, and after Dane's siege troops entered the range, they roared out the word 'shooting'.

But it was Dane's ranger troops who struck first.

More than a dozen temporarily built siege towers, pulled by livestock such as cattle and horses, kept moving forward, and they were scattered in a short distance. The yellow sand blew past, and amidst the chilling atmosphere of the battlefield, the tops of these huge war machines were already full of elf rangers.

The arrows of the rangers came faster than the archers guarding the top of Mihe City!

Arrows rained all over the sky, and the shooting accuracy of the elf rangers was much better than that of the archers of the Heka Tim Legion. Moreover, the rangers standing on the siege towers don't need to think about throwing their heads up. They just point their arrows at the enemies hiding on the top of the city as if they were training, and then let go of the bowstring. , Often a life can be taken away with a sharp arrow.

Even Heka Tim, who was standing on the top of the city watching the battle, was almost shot by a ranger's arrow!

In a little embarrassment, he once again launched a protective arrow spell in front of him, and he had to take a few steps back. He looked at Dane's attacking troops with a stern expression, and his heart was already extremely heavy.

In the process of approaching forward, Dane's siege equipment was not without being hit. Two rows of soldiers carrying the ladder were directly hit by the artillery of the city defenders. Not to mention the casualties, the ladder was also smashed; a siege tower was also bombarded, and the movable rollers under the tower were destroyed. The siege tower directly lay down and could no longer move forward.

But this is only a small achievement~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, the scene of the war is the defensive force on the top of the city, which is being completely suppressed at this moment!

After the defensive artillery was suppressed, and the artillery at the top of the city had to fire at the siege troops under pressure, the suppression of Dane's artillery position plummeted. Although this allowed the defending artillery to hit Dane's siege troops, they themselves suffered heavy losses under the fierce shelling from the siege side.

The city was full of gunpowder and smoke, and the situation around several forts was simply horrible. In some cases, the artillery was directly hit by the shells. Not only the iron-cast cannons were blown up, but also the reserve shells were killed, resulting in the ruins of the entire fort. Of course, all the members of the artillery crew around it were alive. not go down. For the luckier forts, the artillery is still there, but after being bombarded by uninterrupted artillery fire, the soldiers manipulating the artillery are hard to resist with their flesh and blood.

There are bodies bombed by shells everywhere, and rubble and rubble are flying everywhere.

With the artillery of the city defending being suppressed, the archers who stayed at the top of the city and fired arrows were not much better. They were completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the ranger troops on the siege tower, and suffered countless casualties, but it was difficult to cause so many casualties to the ranger troops. The shooting accuracy of the two sides was not at the same level at all.

"How can we fight this battle?" Heka Tim had such a thought in his heart.

I stayed up all night during the New Year's Eve yesterday, and I didn't wake up until about this time. I'm too old to be so high, I'm pretty much a dead cat now.

Strongly hold on for a chapter, ready to go out for food, and then come back and sleep for a while.

One more time, happy new year!
