Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 42: Siege

Without making Taiwei Si's people wait for a long time, the Volantis began to assemble their troops after the siege camp was established. Volantis' slave army is trained from child captives that Volantis has acquired from various places. They have been trained by slave owners to use weapons from childhood, and they are also taught to obey their master's will no matter what.

These slaves are usually responsible for farming and labor. In wartime, they will take up arms and become the vanguard of Volantis. When the number of slave soldiers is too large, Volantis will sell some of them to other city-states to relieve the pressure and earn a fortune. These slaves have been castrated since childhood to curb their desires. Their lives are numb, and they generally don't live to the age of forty. They are either killed in battle or in hard labor.

At this time, these slaves had already put on sleeveless leather armor, hung short swords on their waists, and held pitch-black round shields in their hands. Thousands of people gathered together, and the darkness was very oppressive.

The slave soldiers slowly pushed out five catapults from the rear, while the soldiers in the front row held up the ladders and put their shields on top of their heads.

Because the enemy army was only attacking from one direction this time, Bamba had asked the villagers to hide on the west side of the castle in advance, so that the stones and arrows that would come in would not kill them.

The horn blew, and the enemy began to move slowly and faster and faster. The slave soldiers in the front row carried the ladder and walked fast. When they entered the range of bows and arrows, the archers on both sides began to shoot each other. The soldiers guarding the city wall were divided into three rows. The first row held shields and spears to protect the crenels, and the two archers in the back row shot alternately under the shields of the soldiers in the front row. .

Intensive arrow rain interaction, the defender still has a full advantage in this situation, except for a few unlucky ones who were shot through the gap and the arrows were basically blocked by shields and battlements.

The defenders had a longer range and a larger target, and many of Volantis' slave soldiers were stabbed by arrows that fell from the sky. Their round shields have a limited area of ​​protection, and their bare arms exposed in sleeveless leather armor are very vulnerable to arrows. But these slave soldiers didn't seem to feel the pain, and they didn't waver even when the **** cuts were drawn on their arms.

After more than ten rounds of arrow rain exchange, the casualties of the Volantis were obviously more than those of the defenders of Taiwei Si, but the slave soldiers finally carried the ladder to the bottom of the city wall, with their backs against the city wall, the slave soldiers slowed down. He slowly erected the ladder on the crenel of the city wall, and at the same time, a dozen soldiers below pressed the lower part of the ladder to prevent the defenders on the city wall from overturning the ladder.

The rain of arrows continued. The slave soldiers raised their shields with one hand over their heads and the other hand supported the ladder and began to climb up. The archers defending the city stretched out their bodies from the crenels and shot down. Although most of them were blocked by shields, there were still a few protections. Improper slave soldiers were shot down.

The infantrymen guarding the city also kept stabbing with their spears. The few slave soldiers who had just climbed to the head were forcibly pushed down with their shields before they could touch the battlements.

When the ladder was on the battlement, the siege vehicle was also dispatched. A group of soldiers gathered together and pushed the siege vehicle slowly out of the formation. Rexxar immediately noticed the siege vehicle, and he quickly greeted the archers to take care of the siege vehicle. Where, but the slave soldiers did a good job of protection, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, and occasionally a few people shot down other soldiers nearby and immediately made up for it.

Rexxar frowned and asked the defenders above the city gate to prepare hot oil and rocket stones. Taiweisi's city gate was covered with iron, so it was not afraid of burning, but the wooden and wooden ramming angle of the enemy's siege vehicle was not enough. no.

The siege vehicle was slowly pushed to the side, and the slave soldiers next to him shouted slogans and pushed the ram into the city gate. It was a bad feeling to roll on the ground and be drenched in hot oil, not to mention the rockets that the soldiers shot down immediately, the siege vehicles were instantly ignited, and the soldiers who were drenched in oil nearby also burst into flames.

The whole body was on fire, they screamed and rolled on the ground, but the oil-soaked fire was not so easy to put out. In the end, they could only turn into a charred corpse with flesh and armor fused together.

As the defenders began to deal with the siege vehicles, Volantis' catapults also began to attack. Most of the stones from the catapult hit the city wall, and a small part flew into the city and hit the castle and the open space in the city. However, the city walls and castle of Taiweisi are very strong, and the stones can only stir up a piece of it. Debris can't cause much damage, maybe they can break the city wall with a catapult for a year.

But even if the city wall could not be shaken, the vibration brought by the stones hitting the battlements still caused several guards who were caught off guard to fall, and Volantis' slave soldiers also took the opportunity to board the city.

Another stone accurately hit the top of the city wall through the crenel. A soldier who was holding a shield and stabbing with a spear was directly knocked out and flew out, and it became a pool of unknown objects under the city wall~www.wuxiahere.com~ More and more enemy troops climbed to the top of the city under the cover of catapults and arrows, and hand-to-hand combat began. Several slave soldiers also climbed up near Ronan. Seeing this, Ronan directly threw the spear in his hand as a javelin, and the spear directly pierced an enemy who had just climbed the city wall. , the huge force even took him upside down more than one meter, until he hit another soldier.

Ronan pulled out the two-handed sword resting on the battlements, slashed down hard, and directly knocked a soldier holding a shield to his knees to the ground. Then Ronan kicked out fiercely and hit him with his hard iron boots. On his face, he directly kicked his nose, causing him to kneel on both knees and fall to the ground with his upper body leaning back. Ronan chased after the victory, and the big sword stabbed ruthlessly through his neck.

Then Ronan held the sword with his backhand, turned around and slammed it hard. The weighted ball at the end of the sword hilt hit the shield of a soldier who had just climbed up the battlement and had not yet stood firm, making a dent in the shield at the same time. The soldier was slammed down the city wall and fell below.

Holding the blade in both hands to block a short sword that the enemy had slashed down, he pushed him forward and slammed him against the wall. When his back hit the wall and bounced back, he directly pierced his helmet with his sharp handguards. In the gap, pierced directly from his eyes and pierced his brain.

At this time, an enemy who had just climbed up from behind slashed Ronan's back with a short sword, but only left a scratch and a few sparks on the heavy plate armor. Ronan roared and pulled out the great sword guard, holding the sword in both hands, turned back and stabbed it, and stabbed straight into the abdomen of the slave soldier. Throwing it under the city wall.
