Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 68: Siege of Taiwei 1

Under the iron hooves of the elven knights, these enemy troops disappeared without even a splash. Ronan soon followed Sirabi back to the siege camp.

The cavalry returned to the team, the remnants of the enemy army were cleared, and the siege equipment was almost ready. The Terra Army was about to start the first trial siege.

Even if he was desperate to defeat the Volantis army, Ronan would not personally dispatch this first siege. In fact, the vanguard of this siege were only those mercenaries.

There are a lot of commissions for war mercenaries, but they are also the hardest money to earn among mercenaries. After all, that country doesn’t hire them for old age. In order to reduce the loss of their own country’s strength, these mercenaries must be at the forefront. .

This is the reason why war mercenaries change so quickly. In this world, the mercenary groups that can last for more than ten years and are disbanded and have considerable strength can be counted on one hand.

Most of the war mercenaries died in the battle, and those who survived a few battles will usually be discharged after saving enough money. With the money to open a small shop in a small town, most of the mercenaries who survived the death will choose to return to a stable life. Only a small number of mercenaries who have been drinking and are currently drunk will directly spend all the commissions on it. Enjoy until you die in the next fight.

This siege only chose to besiege from two places with city gates. Although I don’t expect to be able to capture the city walls and open the city gates this time, the large troops are still ready. Ronan also put on his equipment and rode on The horses stood in the cavalry and waited. If the city gate was really opened, Ronan would follow the cavalry and charge directly in.

The mercenaries in various costumes rushed to the front carrying the ladders, followed by a mixed siege team of Terra's elite troops and militia, and the Hinterland archers used arrow rain to cover the infantry to attack the city.

The catapult threw boulders on the city wall, but only a small number of casualties were caused. A Volantis soldier who could not dodge was directly hit on the head by the broken stone, and his head burst open like a watermelon. Red and white spilled all over the ground, and the helmet was completely unable to protect him from the extremely powerful stones, and was smashed into a discus.

The corpse fell softly and fell under the city wall, and soldiers next to him were shot down by arrows from time to time. The Volantis completely lost to the Hinterlands in terms of bow and arrow shooting, even though they were protected by the city wall.

The cloud ladder climbed up the city wall, and the siege ladder was halfway through. The soldiers climbed up with shields and weapons against the arrows, stones and boiling oil dropped by the defenders. From time to time, the ladders were pushed down, but most The ladder still persisted.

The soldiers climbed to the end of the ladder, and just as they were about to step onto the battlements, they were knocked down by the enemy with spears or wooden sticks. It is impossible to climb the city wall with only the ladder.

But after the siege ladder arrived, it was different. Although the enemy used catapults and other equipment to destroy some of the siege ladders, after the suspension bridge of the siege ladder was built on the battlements, many soldiers still rushed to the city head, representing Thailand. The flag of La fluttered at the top of the city, but it was quickly cut down. The flag was raised and lowered, and the mood of Ronan and others also fluctuated.

The soldiers rushed into the watchtower, and the gate was slightly lifted. Ronan and the waiting cavalry clenched their lances one after another, but they quickly relaxed, because the point where the gate was lifted quickly fell again.

An hour later, the horn of retreat sounded, the soldiers retreated from the city head, raised the ladder and ran back against the rain of arrows from the enemy. The first tentative attack failed, and each side left hundreds of bodies. The Terra side suffered more casualties, and the siege must have more casualties than the defense.

After all, the siege side needs to climb up the city wall, and the defenders don't need it. They just need to take the time to kill the enemy who climbed the wall.

The Volantis are very tenacious. They have a lot of clothes. I will defend the city and force you to negotiate with me. Indeed, if it really can't be attacked for a long time, Terra really can only negotiate. After all, Sint Lan's troops couldn't stay here forever, and the hired mercenaries also cost a lot of money.

Terra's reserves are running out again, and it is impossible for Seljuk to really attack Ereda. If you pretend to help Terra get involved, the mission will be completed. Once the Seljuks withdraw, the Eredar may reappear at any time. Send troops to attack Terra, and then the form will be unfavorable to Terra.

Therefore, after several unsuccessful attacks, Marshal Hogule decided to break the boat. He decided to launch a surprise attack late at night, and the entire army attacked from all sides. A raid team of a hundred people entered the castle through a secret passage.

Try to see if you can form an inside-out attack to open the city gate. Even if it doesn't work, it will involve the enemy. The raiding team will launch a raid when the siege outside the city enters the white-hot period, and the contact is completed by the Hinterland mages who join it. As long as the distance is not more than five kilometers, the Hinterland mages can use spells and magical objects to carry out some simple tasks. Communication ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ronan volunteered to sign up for the raid team. After all, he was also in a hurry. If he couldn't attack, his mission would be a failure, and so many rich rewards would leave him. Ronan will also lose the chance to accumulate enough reputation in Terra to level up the system.

But unfortunately, his petition was ruthlessly rejected by Sirabi. The raid team was very dangerous. If the siege outside failed, they would basically be wiped out. It could already be called a death squad.

Sirabi knew that Queen Serena's daughter, the new Princess Sibella, was very concerned about Ronan, and Ronan also participated in the war to support Terra in the name of the princess. He didn't want Ronan to die under his hands, otherwise After going back, it is very likely that the princess will be hated by the princess, or even punished by the queen.

So Ronan could only continue to stay in the cavalry, prepare outside the city gate, and rush inside to slaughter when the city gate opened.

Time ticks by, the sun goes down, the moon rises, the sky turns from bright to dark, knowing that the world is dark and silent, only when a little moonlight falls on the bright and clean armor and shines, the Terra Army is dispatched.

No horns, no slogans, the army silently carried the ladder and began to charge. When the guards on the tower found the situation, they hurriedly blew their horns. The soldiers on duty at night grabbed their weapons and climbed up to the tower. The resting soldiers were also awakened, struggling with sleepy eyes and wearing armor.

Noisy footsteps and scolding sounded continuously in the castle. A raid team of 300 people was already in the room at the exit of the secret passage. More than 20 people were waiting in the room, including the mage, who was taking Waiting for a compass-like thing, the rest of the soldiers stood silently in the secret passage. They were all selected by Hogul, with the best martial arts and the most tenacious will.
