Rise In Calradia - Chapter 402: : Rhodok Civil War (7)
“For His Majesty the King, go up!”
The soldiers under the wall rushed to the wall shouting the name of the king. At this moment, the distance between the two sides was close enough, and the crossbow arrow became more and more deadly, and it had reached the point where it could penetrate thick cotton armor and average quality chain armor. degree of. Previously, the shields in the hands of the soldiers did not feel much when blocking the crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows did not penetrate deep into the shield, and even fell on their own because the penetration was too shallow. But now, the arrowhead of the crossbow is like a nail embedded in the shield, and it cannot be pulled out. Whether it is the King’s Army soldiers on the wall or the coalition soldiers advancing on the opposite side, they are constantly falling under the continuous shooting of crossbow arrows, but as many people fall, there will be the same number of people who will take his place and take his place. Keep fighting.
“what!”
A soldier shouted, but it wasn’t because of the crossbow arrow. The pain of the crossbow arrow took a while to spread all over the body, but he slipped and fell to the ground. Although it was not high, it was absolutely painful. Several soldiers were startled by the falling man, but soon, several people skillfully pulled the wounded away, and then a crossbowman immediately raised his shield and rushed to the wall.
The two sides have already paid a lot of casualties, and the city militiamen have experienced the brutality of the war, but the older sergeants remain serious, and do not forget to tell them that worse things are yet to come.
The coalition troops continued to advance under the rain of arrows. At this time, the trebuchets on both sides had changed from shooting at each other to destroying the other’s troops as much as possible. Many woods on the wall were broken in two, and there were several arrow towers missing. However, there was no gap large enough for the coalition forces to enter directly behind the wall, and because the trebuchets behind the wall diverted the direction of attack, dozens of huge stones fell into the crowd, causing dozens of casualties, including There are also a few veterans with strong combat effectiveness and officers in lower command.
Hundreds of refusals intertwined into a large obstacle area. Before the mobilization of Jalkara, the senior sergeant had already completed most of the work outside the fence. The soldiers of the coalition army either directly turned over the refusal as they advanced. The dense forest formed, or go through the ditches between the horses, the ditches are deep enough to swallow an adult, and there are many sharpened wooden stakes and half-buried caltrops underneath. Jumped straight out, those spikes were enough to pierce the leather boots and pierce the soles of the daredevils. But these are not the most annoying. The old sergeant may not have fought a few beautiful victories in his life, but he has a better understanding of war and battlefield than many lords. He knew how to lay out these obstacles and trenches to form an inescapable line of defense, and since he took over the local garrison work, this work has begun, even if the coalition has thousands of soldiers, don’t even think about getting around these obstacles Go well.
Even if there is no one to stop it, it is very difficult for soldiers in groups to pass through these obstacles and traps outside the fence. They must move very carefully to ensure that they will not be injured, not to mention the current bad situation. .
Soldiers and local hunters and rangers collected many traps and traps, some even used to hunt black bears. The soldiers of the coalition army were about to march forward with their shields up against the arrows. The hammer hit the blacksmith apprentice at the toe.
The sturdy phalanx was forced to disperse under the barrier of this line of defense composed of horses and traps. The Rhodok snipers on the wall were overwhelmed with siege crossbows one by one, and the coalition troops at the forefront rushed as far as possible. The solid front was formed into a shield wall, and had to cover the soldiers behind to move away from the horse, use planks and ladders to build bridges over the trenches, use their own eyes and legs to find traps, and succeeded at the cost of more than 30 people killed or incapacitated. There are several passable paths in this dense line of defense.
But even after passing through here, the two-person wall still blocked their way.
It will take a while for the battering ram and the escorted soldiers to pass through the trap area. Those obstructing horse groups and trenches make it difficult for large siege weapons to pass through. At present, only the infantry and crossbowmen of the coalition forces have reached the front of the wall, as well as their weapons. ladder.
They can only take the simplest and most direct method, set up their long ladders, climb the reinforced fence, and then go straight in. Each of the coalition’s multiple infantry phalanxes carried at least four long ladders and attacked from a length of hundreds of meters. They all put down the long ladders with hooks and began to climb the city together, trying to cover them with a huge number. The entire fence line of defense, and then look for the other party’s loopholes.
But above the wall, the Royal Army has also packed the city wall as much as possible to prevent the enemy’s attack.
The dense crossbow arrows are very effective for shooting at close range. The long ladder has just been set up, and the first batch of coalition soldiers has just climbed up, and the arrows are coming towards them, but in a few seconds, dozens of them are shot. The arrow-counter fell from the long ladder.
A large number of crossbowmen on the wall and a large number of arrow towers crossed fire, the soldiers of the coalition army fell quickly, and the casualties continued to increase, but even so, the soldiers of the coalition army still climbed the long ladder to attack one after another, especially those holding large shields. The Nord mercenary with a battle axe rushed to the front and was the most ferocious. However, considering the high reward (a pocket full of dinars) offered by Lord Kestor for those who climbed the wall first, such a fearless charge is understandable.
The wall is not too high, so the Rhodok spearmen on the wall can use all kinds of long weapons to stab and chop down from the heights continuously~www.mtlnovel.com~Assassinate the enemy before they can reach the wall or Hit it down. Under the king’s order, a large number of soldiers and militiamen rushed to the wall. As long as the stones were not thrown by the other side’s trebuchets, the coalition soldiers trying to climb the wall should not think about going through the continuous shooting and long shooting of the crossbow bolts. The spear’s continuous thrusts broke through this line of defense.
“Damn, this is a waste of our troops and dinars!” Lewens scolded angrily when he saw that the troops they had spent a lot of money to organize had suffered hundreds of casualties in a short period of time. Come out, look back at Kesto. “Do something, Kesto, don’t hide the useful things, or why are we preparing them?!”
Lord Kesto, or King Kesto’s expression had grown gloomy, especially after Levens had complained, and he was even more sore. This war was more important to him than anything else, and he had to win it, and for that he had to use all the resources at his disposal.
“Tell the armorer and the Peony Corps to bring out the dragon fire. Before lunch, I will see that section of the wood wall turn into wood chips!”
