Mercenaries Under the Sky

"General, this is not possible, the enemy's bow and arrow are too strong, and it is impossible to rush up to sacrifice all the allies." Su Wen, the highest commander of the assault camp, came to Chi Aotian's side.

"You mean?"

"The Allied forces have never seen a battle. When they see such a dense rain of arrows, they are scared. The catapult can't be used like this. A catapult is equipped with an Allied one hundred team, one for every two catapults. Group, simultaneously advancing towards the city wall from multiple directions. In this way, the attacks of the sweat-blooded prairie elves will also be dispersed. Each group is under less pressure. "Su Wen, who saw more wars on the ice and snow continent, immediately came up with a way.

"Okay. Also, transfer a tens of thousands of residents to go directly to the city gate. It's really impossible. Push the red car under the city gate, pour fire oil, and burn the city gate." Chi Aotian flashed in his black eyes A little cold light, directly pushing the civilian ranks up, is a huge challenge for anyone with a knightly spirit.

"This city can't really be broken." Tayan didn't know when he came over with the evil guard, and the military division's tone clearly had an unending feeling of satisfaction.

The three top officers were silent for a moment. The most important thing about siege siege is that the siege troops must have absolute strength advantage. 5000 soldiers defend the city. As long as the commander does not make mixed moves, as long as there is no dragon knight in the opponent ’s camp, it is sparse to directly contend with a 10,000-person team. The usual thing is that in the history of the mainland war, there are no fewer than 5,000 people who successfully contended with the record of 100,000 people attacking the city. In Rhodes, there are now 5,000 elite troops, including 1,000 elf archers, 1000 directly guarded troops, 3000 sword battalions, 3000 mercenaries, plus nobles and caravans in the city. The force must have broken the 15,000 mark. There are more than 100,000 inhabitants, and there are no less than 30,000 strong laborers between 15 and 45 years old. The Iron Hand Grand Duke did n’t attack at all, and made a Rhode City defend as strong as the Turtle King. In this case, it is too difficult to think of Kecheng with 5000 regular troops and 15000 people. Or, more directly, maybe Sex is less than 0.1%.

"Well! I know. Drain all of these residents and then evacuate them. Throw a burden to them and consume more sweaty mercenaries to save them from following their ass." If cold and merciless, Tayan and Su Wen both Startled, but this is also the most effective way that two middle-aged and elderly people can think of-the continuous siege of 50,000 or 60,000 residents will definitely bring great pressure to the city, and the sweaty mercenary group is the first The elite troops must be invested in the fortification, as long as these soldiers can be consumed almost the same. After retreating, there is no need to worry about whether the enemy will pursue, regardless of whether the enemy has the strength to pursue, now this season has been restricted to death. The Huayu Plain in the subtropical region has no spring at all. After the dry winter, it directly enters the rainy summer. Even if the defending army does not rescue the injured residents, it will take a lot of manpower to bury these bodies, otherwise ... The sultry rainy season is coming , Just wait for the outbreak of the plague. Rhodes Town is still on the main road of traffic, hum ... Until then, no one will come even if he kneels and invites the Black Dragon Knights. In history, in order to eliminate the large-scale plague, it is not only one or two cities with people and buildings that have been completely burned by the incumbent.

On the city wall, Han Han and the iron hand blocked the river and watched the many catapults scattered below. Then the black dragons drove the crowds like the sheep and pushed the crowds to the front row. The city gate. The dignified colors appeared on both weather-beaten faces, and the real test came.

"Boom ... Boom ... Boom ... Boom ... Boom ..."

"Push--" The dragon knights waved the leather whip in their hands and shouted for the strong men.

The huge rush wheel axle grunts, grunts, grunts sounded in pieces.

The imperial standard punching car is 3.5 meters high, 13 meters long and 5 meters wide. It is composed of 8 to 10 thick hardwoods for one person. At the forefront of the punching car, the hardwoods are neatly sawn into a wedge-shaped, hardwood on the center. Packed with three centimeters of iron skin, it is sharper than a knight's gun. On both sides of the rushing car is a shield, and 40 soldiers can stand below. The car was covered with wet soil and it was difficult to ignite it even with oil.

The Black Dragon Knights have their own engineering team. During the formation of the North Army, more than 20 backbones and officers were placed in it. On the prairie, it was difficult to find suitable materials. Most of the red cars were made by chance. The volume is much smaller, the wheels are also unloaded from the carriage, the wheels are thin, and it is easy to fall into the dirt. There is nothing better than talking, it is used to be consumed anyway.

Even louder than the rush is the overwhelming cry.

Smarter residents looked at the flashing knife lights on the city walls, cats were hiding as far as possible under the arrow of the rushing car, and the younger children were frightened by the corpses in front of their eyes and trembling their calves, while being dragged towards the side by the rope I cried while walking forward.

"If you want to live, pick up shields and weapons from the ground, quickly ..." Some black dragon knights who don't know He Juxin guide the residents who have no combat experience.

The rushing car array scattered into a line has just entered the effective range of the 400-meter grassland elf, and more than 80 catapults shouted their trumpets while advancing at the same time.

"Shooting while walking!" Without waiting for the catapult to enter the effective range, Su Wen had issued an order.

More than 80 catapults hit the front like a hail when the size of the bowl was hit. The stone rumbling hit the half of the wall of the city wall, fell on the ground, and fell on the head of the moving people ... Grey brick end, green The broken grass and red and white brains boiled under the blue sky of the green grass like the boiling water.

Whether it is a forest elf in the sky or a prairie elf on the city wall, at this moment, they all thought of two words: murder.

"Shoot! Master asks you why not shoot!" Han Han's personal guard rushed down the city wall in desperation.

"All the people below are civilians." The prairie elf archer Captain Thousand People's Captain Euro is a 400-year-old strong elf, and it is very difficult to glance at the guard.

"What should I do? Waiting for death? This is the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Knights. What does it have to do with us? Shoot! Quick, shoot! This is the order of the group seat and the deputy leader."

Euro shook his head helplessly: "Civilians are rushing with cars, there is no danger now, let's solve the threat first. Target, catapult, shoot!"

Iron Hand Barrier and Han Han listened to the guard's statement and both smiled bitterly. There is really no way to deal with tribal troops like the prairie elves, and there is really no way to completely comply with the requirements of the army, otherwise ... the next day they may all be gone. Euro makes sense, after all, these rush cars have to rush down the city to make a difference. In fact, when they reach 150 meters, they have already entered the range of the human long archer on the city wall. Closer, the horn archer is also useful. There is no way to punish Euro for this.

"Hmm ..." Han Han's eyes squinted together fiercely: "Those knight eagles moved."

Oh? The iron hand blocked the river and was surprised. In this siege battle, the biggest variable is the team of vultures with less than 1,000 people. Prior to this, Chi Aotian, with these knight eagles first Hamburg and then Delhi, two battles and two victories. If these knight eagles just shoot arrows into the city beyond the range of the prairie elf, there is no fear. At such heights, the arrows go with the wind, and the falling speed is fast, but the arrow path can be seen with the naked eye, it is easy to dodge . It's just that if Chi Aotian makes another rappelling raid, or even directly launches a surprise attack on other gates, it's not a joke.

"Han Han, you take two Eudemons knights, and then pull 500 people out of the heavy knights to make a reserve team. Once these knight eagles landed, they rushed to stop them ..." The iron hand blocked the river and thought for a while. A stoic expression was revealed: "Prioritize the fight against the vultures, as long as you can fight these vulture knights, even if you have consumed the heavy knights and thousands of people, it is worth it." Of course it is worth it, if you can kill all the vulture knights, even if Losing the city of Delhi is also a bargain.

"Okay, rest assured." Han Han's mount dragon had already fallen in the city. The knight stepped on the back of the dragon, and the dragon roared against the roof of the house.

Alas ... Iron Hand Barrier's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, this chill ... bravery is brave, but ... how not to use your mind in all things, step on the dragon, these knights will fall What? Forget it, the shout will not come back, even if it is a warning.

I was thinking that the vulture knights in the sky suddenly lowered their height, which was already out of the straight range of the grassland elves. The vultures and knights burst into cheers at the same time. A sound of rain hitting the plantain came from the sky over Rhodes. Knights He didn't pity the arrow feathers in his hand, rushed toward the west wall, repeated the action of pulling the bow and letting the arrow down, the city defense soldiers did not understand what was going on, and the entire wall was placed by hundreds of people. many.

"Quick! Withdraw, go to the north city wall!" Chang Qing watched the south city wall divide a group of grassland elf archers who were rushing towards here. The boy commanded loudly, and opened a pocket, holding the corner of the pocket, down With a tremor, the yellow-brown powder was scattered by the wind, shining in the sky and falling on the buildings below, and the light blue smoke instantly rose upwards. The organized residents carried iron buckets and buckets to put out the fire.

The vulture knights immediately pulled their mounts north and fired more arrow feathers at the soldiers on the city wall.

A farce was staged over Rhodes Town. Hundreds of griffin knights constantly harassed the three walls, making the divided 300 people of prairie elves tired enough to choke, two dragon knights dared not take off directly-in the extremely high sky, there are 10 griffin knights Soaring in the wind, the iron hand barrage was born on the sea, his eyes were extremely sharp, and it has long been seen that these knights are black lightning in the center. Obviously, this is a pitfall.

At the same time that the farce is being staged, the siege of the south of the city wall has entered the most critical time. The effect of the hastily made car-rushing is not known, but the effect of blocking the arrows is quite good-these The red cars are made of the main beams of the residents' homes. More than 30 centimeters of thick wood can easily block all the arrow feathers. In the thick smoke, the residents covered their noses one by one and pressed against the car, and the car was almost going to the city, and no more than 1,000 people fell down.

The soldiers in the city were in a hurry. The rocket fired wave after wave, but the effect was not great. The rushing car was paved with more than 20 centimeters of wet soil. When it got up in the morning, it was just flooded with water and the rocket fell off.

"Hot oil! Hurry!" Tiemu Gora ordered with hissing on the wall. A pot of kerosene fell against the wall, and the first few rushing cars suddenly rolled thick smoke, across the wet soil, through the wood purlin, the hot air was roasting down, the flaming oil was smooth With the gap in the wood falling down, who fell on it, immediately jumped a flame.

The blazing fire devoured everything, all residents with no war experience panicked, overturned the car, pulled and ran back, the human horn archer on the city wall finally had a place to use, thousands of bows and arrows Pulling the horn bow non-stop, the white death arrow shot mercilessly at the defenseless residents, and the inhabitants fell forward to the ground ... the screams continued to spread.

A small number of residents have just cried and tumbling out of the attack area of ​​the archers on the city wall. A sudden crossbow shot from the front, and the fresh flesh was lifted by a huge rush. A team of black dragon dragons coldly raised the crossbow in their hands: "If you take a step back, you will die! Hurry, go back! Hurry! Go to the door with a car, otherwise, execute them all!"

"I don't want to die ... Mom ... I don't want to die ..." A half-size boy didn't know when to release the rope on his left arm, except for the smoke and blood stains on his body, he cried and turned and ran in the other direction. A black warhorse galloped out of the soldiers, the sharp sword cut a mark in the air, and the teenager's body was instantly short half ... The blood burst from the waist.

"Asshole! Let's charge yourself ... Let's do it ..." A man in the crowd stood up angrily, but ... The word was not finished yet. The man and more than a dozen people behind him were shot by the roaring crossbow Debris.

"Go to **** or curse in paradise! Remember, if there is no sweat mercenary corps in the end, the city has already been conquered, you will never be pulled to replace the dead ghost!" Captain Cavaliers lifted his mask Scolding loudly, waving a long whip in his hand to knock a resident to the ground.

The gray-haired old man, the middle-aged man, the slender village aunt ... the shadow of death was exposed before and after, and all the people were crying and crying. Ning Zuo's prosperous world dog is not a troubled person. What makes a hero out of troubled times, at least 10,000 corpses lie behind each hero-troubled times, human lives ... not worth the money.

Rhodes Town seems to be a huge sand table.

On one side are officers of the Black Dragon Knights and Mercenary Corps, and on the other side are cadres of the Holy See and the Sweat-Blood Mercenary Corps, who perform exercises on this sand table. All the offensive and defensive methods that can be thought of have been taken out.

The racks of catapults were destroyed, the racks of rushing cars were burned down, the number of bows and arrows on the city walls was reduced a little bit, the kerosene has been completely used up, and the pigs and sheep have been killed. In the evening, the whole army was wiped out, and Chi Aotian did not hesitate to invest in the second 10,000-person team-more than two hundred catapults and rushing cars ignited by the burning fire, which was much brighter than the torch. The vulture knight withdrew half, and the rest was still flying in the sky, from time to time attacking a section of the city wall. In the distance there were transport teams demolishing houses and churches in nearby villages and towns and transporting them to the big battalion. Engineers were turning around to build new siege facilities.

It was late at night, and the second 10,000-man team disappeared from the combat establishment. The ruthless young men ordered the soldiers to wake up the third 10,000-man team that had been confused on the spot.

The iron hand blocked the river, but he didn't expect the enemy to attack the city overnight, and all the defensive equipment had been exhausted. Fortunately, the Grand Duke has rich experience, and the beating stone is gone. Immediately, he dispatched all the houses near the city wall to be removed. The thick purlin sawed and nailed the iron nails and transported them to the wall; A large bucket of manure, sprinkled with golden millet and black croton, boiled under a fire under the city wall, splashed into the ladder with a small wooden barrel, this kind of scorched juice fell on the clothes, and the skin fleshed out instantly, watching the skin ulcerate ...

At four o'clock in the morning, it was just dawning, and three places on the south wall had been smashed down ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ The two-foot thick bluestone bricks outside fell down, and the red soil inside poured out, peeping outside for a long time. Under the leadership of the Black Dragon Knights, the Allied forces rushed up like a wolf. The iron hand blocked the river and turned the reserve team in their hands. The siege for 20 hours in a row, the first to invest 8000 combat power in the city wall At least half of the casualties. At the same moment, in order to pull the enemy's strength, Chi Aotian invested in a new 10,000-man team without hesitation.

This is already the last tens of thousands of people in Chi Aotian's hands, and the war has basically reached the end. The intimidated residents were exhausted immediately, and the Allied forces were now invested in two brigades. If all the remaining Black Dragon Knights were invested in the siege, there might be a glimmer of hope to break the city, but ... in that case ... the price too big. Even if the city is broken, the huge number of casualties is unbearable for the Northern Expeditionary Army fighting outside. Chi Aotian and Su Wen discussed briefly, planning to retreat until the last moment of the siege.

At this moment, a sudden sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the south of Rhodes. A small group of knights slammed against the horseback. On the periphery of the battlefield, a tall and happy knight jumped from the horseback. Pulling out a long bow of one person in his hand, a slight bow string sounded, and a pale blue long arrow hit the city wall with a special sound.

The prairie elf archer captain Euro picked up the long arrow and just looked at it, his face changed greatly.

Temu Goral trot over: "Euro, what is the shot below?"

The tall prairie elf gave the long arrow in his hand to the partner next to him, slowly raised the long war bow in his hand, and the cold flashing arrow pointed at the new target: Temugolar .
