Lord of Riders - Chapter 308
Shao Yu put on his armor and continued to return to the battlefield to direct the battle.
Uxhal’s defenders were beaten into the city, guarding the streets, and confronting the coalition forces.
“Order the crossbowmen to block the streets. It’s reasonable to order the crossbowmen one by one. Don’t surrender the prisoners. Kill them all!”
Shao Yu ordered
“Yes, Your Majesty!” After the commander received the military order, he immediately led the army to purge enemy forces that were still resisting from all directions.
After a hard day and night, the defending army has basically suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and as the offensive side, the coalition has also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The desperate suicide attacks of the coalition forces severely damaged the defenders. What was needed most was the heavy casualties of the Iron Corps. They rushed to the forefront and greatly reduced the casualties of the coalition forces.
More than 5,000 people in the Iron Army were killed and injured, and most of them were killed in battle, but weren’t many injured? They were completely fighting to death.
Forcibly cut a breach on the wall.
However, at this time, Dunn’s army had passed Harma and reached the vicinity of Lana.
There are now 50,000 defenders in Lana City, 40,000 defenders of Kujit, and 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Legion led by Lord Ubai of the Shao Ming Kingdom.
They have received information and know that Dunn’s army will arrive soon.
The soldiers are wiping their weapons, polishing them, and winding their bows and arrows, preparing for the upcoming battle.
In addition to the defenders, the civilians of Lana City were also recruited to assist in the defense. They did not have to fight with the enemy with swords, but they needed to cooperate with the defenders to fill the trebuchet stones, carry them from the city, fill them, and remove the wounded from the city. Lifting the wall down, these all need their assistance.
Now the walls are full of piles of stones. There are more than fifty trebuchets and hundreds of ballistas in Lana City. Shao Yu supported them. Shao Yu hoped that Lana of the Kujit Khanate could serve as an important gateway. Help the Kingdom of Shao Ming guard the gate to the south.
This is the time for the experimenters to have some weapon power.
Dunn’s army camped five miles below the city.
Although it was a garrison battle, the veteran guarding Lana, Lord Ramuk still sent out cavalry for a tentative attack.
Twenty thousand cavalry came out of the city, trying to attack them before the enemy had formed a formation. After the encounter, the cavalry on both sides launched a fierce battle.
There are more than 20,000 cavalrymen in the Khugit Khanate, mainly composed of horsemen, and more than 1,000 Lancers.
There are more than 5,000 cavalry troops in the Ansa Empire, mainly the flying dragoons of the Angsa Empire. The horses of the flying dragoons are still the ponies produced by the Angsa Empire, and they are far less flexible than the grassland war horses of the Kujit Khanate. Sex was also not good, Lord Ramuk lured the enemy to a place far away from their main force, turned his head back with a carbine, and annihilated more than two thousand dragon cavalry.
Du En cut the flag of the flying dragon cavalry commander, and then the siege war kicked off.
The soldiers recruited by the Lords of Rodok were arranged to rush to the forefront. This point was to attack the city with Shao Yu and the others. In order to capture Uxhal as soon as possible, Shao Yu sent out my most elite troops. . He rushed up, but Dunn was the first to send out the Rhodok recruits with the worst combat effectiveness at this time.
These recruits, armed with military hammers, military hoes, and some with spears, rushed towards the city wall under the command of the war-inspector.
But before they rushed to the bottom of the city, the arrow rained on the wall, and the stone flew towards them.
Fifty trebuchets were activated at the same time. Each trebuchet threw a dozen stones of 20 to 30 kilograms. Five to six hundred stones fell on the ranks of the new Rhodok army. Many soldiers were hit, but these were still Not enough to stop their attack.
Although the recruits are very scared, turning around is definitely a dead end. They bite the bullet and rushed under the wall to set up a ladder. But before he had time to climb, he was kicked over by the soldier above. At the same time, the stone rolled down from the city wall, smashing the Rhodok recruit below to death.
Rhodok recruits rushed down the city and killed more than a thousand people.
The arrow rain on the city wall continued to fly to these Rhodok recruits. After just two rounds of arrow rain, more than a thousand Rhodok recruits died. Their shields are quite shabby. It seemed that Du En didn’t want them to survive at all, and their armor couldn’t even stop the stones thrown directly over.
Although the battle that came up was fierce, the defenders didn’t feel any pressure at all. Such enemy troops came to their deaths. For a whole day, these Rhodok recruits did not stop attacking.
Although the Rhodok recruits suffered as many as 30,000 casualties, the soldiers of the garrison used a lot of bows and arrows. Basically all the stones on the wall were used up.
However, the enemy still did not stop the offensive. The Rhodok recruits retreated, but the fifty thousand troops of the Anglo-Saxon empire’s subordinate countries came up again, and they rested for a day. It is energetic now.
The soldiers of the Poison Spear tribe even yelled and attacked Lana like monkeys in the jungle.
Lord Ramuk ordered the defenders to reduce the use of shears and let the enemy move as close as possible to release arrows. In this way, a large amount of ineffective loss of shearing is avoided. But this also brought great danger to the defenders.
The tribe of the Poison Spear Tribe is soaked with venom. Although the throat cannot be sealed by blood, it will still suffer serious injuries if shot.
The army of the Anglo-Saxon Empire also began to mingled inside to attack Lana.
The soldiers of the Iron Legion always rushed forward to guard the castle. They were divided into two groups. One group wielded steel knives and slashed and killed enemies approaching the city, while the other group shot at the back with a strong crossbow.
Under the desperate defense of the soldiers of the Iron Legion~www.mtlnovel.com~, the enemy army suffered tens of thousands of casualties in half a day, but still failed to open the gap in Lana City.
The soldiers of the Khergit Khanate suffered more than 7,000 casualties in two days, and the soldiers of the Iron Army killed more than 2,000 people and killed more than 40,000 people.
But the real fierce battle really started at this time. The guards of the city didn’t consume much ground for their shears, and the archers of the Anza Empire began to shoot at the city with their longbows.
Ten thousand archers from the Anglo-Saxon Empire advanced to more than a hundred meters below the city to shoot at the city wall. Arrows rained continuously on both sides, covering the sky and the sun. Soldiers on both sides were continuously casualties in the shooting.
By the time Dunn ordered the withdrawal of troops in the dark, half of the 10,000 Archers of the Anglo-Saxon Empire had been killed and injured.
The casualties of the defenders were even smaller, with three or four thousand people.
The ballista shooter on the city wall played a big role in the battle. Thousands of people were killed by the ballista. The ballista almost shot it, and the enemy was sure to die.
However, the army of the Shao Ming Kingdom still suffered heavy losses this time. Lord Ubai was unfortunately hit in the forehead by Liu Ya when he was commanding the battle and was killed on the spot.
