Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Siege!”

On the eighth day of the siege, following the order of Emperor Gallius, the Western Empire Legion immediately launched a campaign against Ranok Humboldt Fully siege the city.

Richard walked onto the battlefield with a group of dismounted cavalry. He watched the archers who were hiding behind the arrow fence to fill and waiting for the opportunity to lean out to shoot, as well as those who pushed the siege. The infantry with their equipment moving towards the city wall, and the soldiers operating on the wooden platform with the ballista trebuchet strikes towards the city wall, they only think this scene is so spectacular.

The large number of arrows are intertwined in the sky to-and-fro outside the city wall. Although they are aggressive, they do not cause much damage to the soldiers on both sides, because the arrows are mostly by the city wall. Blocked by the wall stacks and the anti-arrow fence, only a few soldiers were shot by arrows when they were moving. If it was just the armor stuck on them, it would be okay. If the shot hit a place with no armor defense, then they would be killed on the spot.

There are also slings and huge crossbows whizzing through the sky from time to time. The threat to both offensive and defending soldiers is also extremely high. Although the accuracy of the ballista trebuchets of this era is extremely hip, people also There is no guarantee that the next sling will not hit him. Richard saw with his own eyes a Battanian shooter who was hiding behind a wall and loading ammunition, and then leaned out to shoot. The moment he leaned out, he was hit by a boulder dropping from the sky, and his entire body was cut off. Go, the blood spurting from within the body towers like a fountain.

The defenders were not willing to be beaten. They also took out the huge crossbow that had been hidden, put it in the bunker on the wall, and shot at the soldiers of the Western Empire outside the city. What they shot The crossbow has a thick arm of an adult and strong penetrating power. Even the imperial soldiers can’t avoid it when hiding behind the erected anti-arrow fence, because the giant crossbow can directly penetrate the fragile fence and hide it. The imperial soldiers in the back shot through together.

“Speed ​​up! You slow pigs!”

An imperial Legion infantryman is holding a shield in his left hand, and his right hand is waving that high-quality steel palla with cold glow. Maien Knife shouted loudly at the imperial recruits pushing the siege tower. At the next moment he finished shouting, the whole person hid behind the shield he held in his hand, and the moment he hid in the shield, The shield was hit by two arrows, and it shook several times.

“Damn savage, he will only use tricks to me. I will cut off your heads and kick the ball when I knock the gates open!”

He cursed, and then commanded the imperial recruits to push the siege tower to the city gate. The usefulness of these imperial recruits who joined the army soon is almost equal to cannon fodder, but many of them do not know their status and are still imagining In order to be able to make contributions in the next war, return home with full of glory and wealth.

These people are usually extremely active in combat and die the fastest. For these soldiers, veterans can only use three words to describe them-no number.

Perhaps because the siege hammer is lighter, before the siege tower is close to the city wall, the siege hammer has been pushed down by the recruits to the city gate, and the imperial recruits are full of fighting spirit. Under the command of the veterans, they pushed huge log hammers together, fiercely slammed into the iron-lined city gate, they just hit, and a lot of dust fell from the top of the city gate, and the air became muddy.

However, the recruits did not care about these. They continued to push the log hammer to hit the city gate. Every time they pushed, they shouted in unison. They were encouraged by themselves. They were very dedicated. A small hole. At the other end of the small hole, a few Battanian soldiers with dirty beards are carrying a few clay pots, ready to throw them into the hole.

“The name of the next big meal for you is called the Burning Empire!”

One of the soldiers shouted, and then he took the lead and threw the clay pot into the hole. Going down, the clay pot smashed against the ceiling of the siege hammer without a doubt, and only a crisp cracking sound was heard. Some viscous, unknown liquid leaked through the ceiling and dripped down, and the unpleasant smell immediately followed. Spread.

Smelling this, the face of the Imperial Legion infantry changed drastically. While retreating quickly, he shouted in a voice almost hoarse: “Retreat! Retreat!”

Just as his voice fell, a small spark was thrown from the hole and fell into the thick liquid. The next second, the dazzling flame burst into flames, almost instantly The entire siege hammer was ignited, and the imperial recruits who were still pushing the siege hammer had no time to react. A few of them were swallowed by the flames, screaming and rushing outside.

“Damn it!”

The Imperial Legion infantry looked at a fireman running towards him with horror, cursing and turning around to run away, but at this moment, Several javelins dropping from the sky pierced the burning man from behind, and a javelin just hit his leg, nailing the Legion infantry’s right leg to the ground.

“Ah–“

The Imperial Legion infantry roared painfully, and he did not forget to raise the shield to protect himself until the soldiers standing in the vicinity found him Come over and rescue him.

Soon there was a faint smell of meat in the air. Richard, who had been watching the game from behind, smelled the smell and felt that all the gluttons in his stomach were caught up. He was still wondering. At this time, who would have leisurely feelings at the barbecue, until he saw a few burnt corpses at the gate of the city, he immediately understood everything.

“Huh! Huh! Huh!”

At this moment, the two siege towers were finally pushed outside the city wall to the cheers of the imperial soldiers, and then, a lot of The armed soldiers climbed up the two ladders of the siege tower. The soldier who climbed up first stood behind the suspension bridge that had not yet been put down, staring straight ahead, waiting for the suspension bridge to be put down. It will charge ahead like an arrow from the string.

However, with a loud explosion sound, when the suspension bridge hit the wall of the city wall, countless arrows and javelins flew over from the city wall, directly lifting the soldiers standing on the siege tower The shield he was holding was densely packed, and several bad luck eggs were shot by the arrow javelin that passed through the shield. With a scream, he stepped back a few steps, stepped on it, and fell from the siege tower.

“Come on!”

The imperial soldiers who stood up to the meeting gift given to them by the defenders roared and put up their shields and stepped onto the suspension bridge, jumped behind the wall, and The Batanian fighters are fighting together. Although the defenders can rely on the advantage of the home field to suppress the attacking imperial army for a while, as long as the siege tower is not destroyed, the imperial soldiers can climb up continuously. The city wall is mainly for the Batania barbarians to perform anti-offensive.
