Chapter 199

Yunmeng has ordered the soldiers stationed in the city to hide in a safe place at the root of the city wall, and the horses are also led to the corner where the boulder can not hit. When the Philistines outside the city saw the scene, they were very happy and said, "they can't hold on. They're going to attack."

Two lines of giant soldiers, holding huge shields to cover the front and the sky, rushed to the gate with a huge hammer. In other directions, soldiers holding giant shields rushed to the low part of the wall with ladders. Lu si'en gathered the deities to set up a magic array in front of the battle array. Countless chanting voices came from the sky, and the light fell down to give the siege soldiers various protection. A wind blade and energy impact cut a gap in the magic array guarding the fortress.

At the critical moment, the Philistines used the magistrates to form a magic array to cover the soldiers' charge. At this time, the magistrates in the fortress should have been tired. Whether it is to break open the gate or climb the wall, the fighting power of giant soldiers should not be able to withstand by the soldiers guarding the city.

The crossbow man stands on a high platform, and if someone on the wall shows his head to fight back, he will be immediately shot by the crossbow. This is the most common tactic used by the giants when attacking the castle. Suddenly, many soldiers appeared on the walls of the fortress. They were shaking with helmets and leather armour. The trained soldiers had formed a subconscious habit, and the crossbows and arrows shot at the target in an instant.

The first round of salvo was fast and accurate. The giant soldier's Heavy Crossbow was really powerful, and some arrows were actually inserted into the wall. Almost all the soldiers on the wall were hit by arrows, but they did not fall down immediately. The arrows in the air were like rain. Some soldiers were hit by several arrows in succession. At this time, Lord God lucerne yelled: "see clearly, then shoot arrows, those are dummies!"

The giant catapults responded that someone had reached out of the battlements with his helmet and leather armour on a wooden pole, but the giant catapult on the high platform had already shot out the first round of arrows, and the Heavy Crossbow needed to be rewound. At this time, soldiers appeared on the wall again, firing at the gap of the battlements with heavy crossbows that had been stringed up. They were not as well trained as the giant catapult, but this round of sudden volley also shot many giant soldiers, and more than a dozen giant crossbows fell from the high platform.

Finally, the shouts of death rang out, and the soldiers who attacked the city rushed up, holding their shields and erecting a long ladder. Instead of firing in volley, the giant crossbow men aimed at the wall above the siege soldiers and fired arrows alternately, so that the city defenders could not stop the giant soldiers from climbing the city. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air. Dozens of fire snakes fell down and turned into a sea of fire along the long ladder set up by giant soldiers. This was the counterattack launched by the Shenshu array.

The soldiers of the Legion of giants also rushed under the city gate. The hammer hit the gate and made a loud noise. The gate was not moved, but the whole city wall nearby trembled slightly. The Shenshu array connects the impact force of the gate with the wall. It can only be broken or the whole tower collapsed. Burning oil fell from the towers and was ignited in the air. It fell on the shields of giants and turned into a sea of fire.

Even if the giant warrior attacking the city gate is not poured with fire oil, after a while, the giant shield will be too hot to hold at all. He will cry and throw down the shield, and then he will be hit by the stones thrown from the city. The giant catapult shot his arrows, and many of the soldiers who fought back in the city were hit by arrows. Some were lying on the battlements with their arrows, others fell down, and both sides were killed and injured.

The giant Legion first used flint for most of the day, consuming the defense power of the fortress's divine arts array. Once the two sides were in contact, the scene was extremely tragic. Suddenly, there was a flash in the magic array around the city wall. The arrows shot by the giant catapult seemed to be pulled by the viscous air, and the range was greatly reduced. One after another, they landed in the middle of the way. The power of this magic array suddenly recovered!

The Philistine turned to look at Lucerne, and his expression was clear. He was questioning the LORD God for his wrong judgment. How did the other side's magic array suddenly regain its power? Didn't it mean that it was difficult to hold on to it after a long time? Lucerne's face was a little ugly, and he whispered, "it's a dying struggle. They can't stand it. We've got to the bottom of the city!"

The Philistine immediately ordered the chariot with high platform to move forward. No matter how good the magic array was, it couldn't block the firing of so many crossbows at close range. However, the position of the catapult moved forward and entered the range of the soldiers guarding the city. The arrows and crossbows of both sides shot each other in the air. People in the city were constantly smashing down the long ladder with kerosene and boulders. The sound of howling and shouting became one.

In the subterranean Hall of the fortress, Yunmeng has replaced Raphael's position, and the ten magicians who have just assisted in arranging the array have all been rotated once. Raphael was telling the six generals in the city: "the first round of the offensive must hold on and consume their flint and heavy arrows. These things are not easy to supplement. Once the spirit is lost, it is easy to do next. As long as we defeat this attack, our soldiers will have real confidence and learn how to fight."

The reason why the Philistine would mobilize siege equipment and concentrate his strength on attacking a fortress was that he got the reward of scouting and riding soon after he launched his army. The troops of Salem who went out of the city for a while went back carrying the banner and did not dare to go to the front line to reinforce the fortress, so he attacked with ease.

In the Philistine's plan of battle, if the fortress was captured in half a day, the other fortress would lose its echo. The soldiers of the city would look at this fortress being captured and hang alone in the plain, and they would fall into despair, and then they could take it. These two fortresses will be the forward bases for the attack on Salem, and then the advance will be irresistible.However, the situation was unexpected. From the morning to dusk, nearly 100 casualties were paid. The fortress was still not broken. The magic array guarding the fortress was still in operation. Its power was adjusted with the strength of the siege, and counterattack was launched coldly while defending.

When the fire dragon in the air fell down the long ladder of the siege, lucerne also commanded the deities in the Legion of giants to launch the magic array. The ice and fog rolled up and scattered the fire dragon. The scene was tragic and dazzling. Lu si'en felt very frightened. The guard array of the fortress has been working for a long time. Is the master of the grand array not tired? He commanded the deity to arrange the array to assist the siege. Now, he has felt a bit of difficulty in fighting.

At the critical moment, we must not lose our spirit, otherwise we will give up all our previous achievements. Lucerne avoided the most heavily defended gate and landed on the giant soldiers who climbed the long ladder to the head of the city. The arrows and stones shot by the soldiers were blocked away by the huge shield. The magic array of the city defense was also opened several gaps by lucerne's magic. Some soldiers were about to climb the wall.

In the fortress, drums sounded to convey orders. The figure of armored guards appeared on the wall to be occupied. The skilled giant crossbow men immediately cooperated with the siege soldiers to shoot at this section of the wall. Many city guards were hit by arrows, and some giant soldiers jumped onto the wall with machetes. As long as these people stand firm on the wall, the giant soldiers behind will constantly rush up.

At the critical moment, I heard a strange roar. A huge tail with golden light suddenly rolled up from the air and swept hard to the city. Three long ladders erected on the wall were knocked down successively. The garrison soldiers swarmed over and surrounded the five or six giant soldiers who had already climbed the city wall, and took the opportunity to chop them down.

The giant army soldiers watching the battle outside the city were stunned for a moment. There were monsters in the fortress! Is the magician who is in charge of the grand array still proficient in summoning divinity? In a great shock, Lu si'en held up his staff, and the gods around him sang in unison. The smoke and fire in the air condensed rapidly, and a giant snake with open teeth and claws appeared. It sent out smoke and fire and rushed to the city. In any case, we must open the gap and fight against the monster with this magic snake.

But after the long tail swept, there was no sound of the monster. The giant crossbow man outside the city only felt a flower in front of him. He saw a beautiful girl suddenly jumping on the battlements. The girl was petite, dressed in a fiery red robe. She was so gorgeous in the battlefield that the catapults forgot to shoot their arrows at her for a moment.

Although the girl is beautiful, what she is holding in her hand is very terrible. She holds up a stone ball with a diameter larger than half of her body. It is wrapped with half burnt hemp. It is the Firestone that the giant army just shot into the city with its catapult. As soon as the girl showed up, she turned up the big stone ball and smashed it to Lucerne!

The stone ball with a sharp whistle, and the intense friction with the air ignited the fire again. If it was hit, lucerne, the great magician, would have to be turned into flying flesh and blood on the spot. All of a sudden, lucerne was commanding the divine arts array to assist the soldiers to attack the city. It was too late to dodge. He quickly picked up his staff. The snake, which had just formed in the air, met the boulder. The snake was smashed in a loose shape, but the flying stone fell into the magic array.

It's no problem that such a big stone rolled over and killed two or three deities. At this time, a roar was heard, and a dazzling brilliance flew obliquely, chopping the huge stone ball into pieces. It turned out that Philistine, the commander of the Legion of giants, suddenly stepped into the air on the chariot, waving a huge sword and jumping before the phallic formation. Philistine himself is also a level 8 warrior. Due to the talent of plateau giant, his strength is amazing.

Yunmeng saw that the Philistine had made a move and yelled on the tower: "stupid and stupid big man, if you have the seed, you will fight with me in the city!"

"Lord Commander, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. You are not allowed to go to the city in person," Lu said He was afraid that the Philistines would really rush up the wall. In case the commander was trapped in the fortress and the soldiers could not attack, the morale of the army would be disordered. I didn't expect that there was not only a great magician in the city, but the girl was obviously a warrior. Seeing her throwing the flying stone with her bare hands, she also had the power to fight against the Philistines.

No matter how powerful the Philistine is, he is not the invincible warrior of enqidu. What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of the whole army. Even if he can rush to the wall alone, he can't do so recklessly. He waved a huge sword in front of the battle and cried, "girl, if you have seed, you can go out of the city to fight!"

The catapults finally let off their arrows. Dozens of Heavy Crossbow strings rang, and the giant arrows shot at Yunmeng with the sound of breaking through the sky. Yunmeng a waist down from behind the city wall suddenly brought out a long handle mace, a wave in the air, with a gust of wind will hit the crossbow scattered. The length of the mace was twice as long as her height. The huge hammer was covered with spines. It was so terrible to swing that it made the giant soldiers in the opposite side look silly.

Yunmeng shot down the arrow, pointed at the Philistine with a mace and said, "are you as stupid as you? Out of town to fight you? The beauty of thinking Don't you attack the city? Come in yourself With that, he turned and jumped down the wall and disappeared. The Philistine held a huge sword and looked at it for a long time. At this time, the scouts sent to the front galloped back, and the army of Salem was sent out again.

……

At dusk, the giant army's fierce attack finally came to an end, and the fighting voice subsided. The fortress withstood the first round of impact, and the city guards also paid the cost of nearly 100 casualties. Five hundred soldiers have such a large proportion of casualties. If they were arrayed in the open field, the battle line would have been destroyed. Fortunately, it was the garrison relying on the fortress.Except for some of the civilian soldiers sent by the city-state of Syria, these soldiers had never experienced a war. When the war of siege just started, everyone was very nervous. When the tension reached a certain level, people were either numb or collapsed. After successfully withstanding the fierce attack of the giant army, we have real confidence, not unreasonable fanatical self-confidence. In fact, they can fight!

In the underground hall in the middle of the castle, Raphael is resting. There is a stone in both castles to show each other's images. Raphael is talking to link in the other castle. "What about the casualties?" link asked

Raphael replied: "there are still nearly a hundred casualties with the support of magic array and fortress. The battle of defending the city is almost the same as that of the attacking side. The fighting capacity of the giant army is indeed strong."

Link: "the head of George's army said that the combat effectiveness of the army was achieved, and that was the case with the Angora army. The Legion of giants came fiercely. The first wave of attack is the most fierce. If you resist, you will win. "

Rafael: "the cost of such a siege is too high. The Legion of giants can't spend unlimited, but I don't know how many more rounds of this kind of attack will they have? Even if the soldiers can insist, the Shenshu array has suffered too much impact. The spare divine stones I have stored here have consumed half of them today. "

Link: "I've been watching the battlefield. They consume a lot of firestones and heavy crossbows. These things can't be replenished at will in a short time. Seven of the 50 catapults were damaged. I didn't expect that your bone would be so hard to chew. Having paid such a high price, they should launch a stronger attack, and you have to prepare for another fierce battle. If it doesn't hold up, I'll reinforce it immediately. "

Raphael shook his head and said, "in any case, I will resist the next round of attack. George has an order. In the first two rounds of attack, you can't act rashly unless the magic array is broken. Let Yunmeng take us to your side. Before breaking through the encirclement, you need to open a large array and send troops out of the city to feign attack. I think it's time for Salem to act according to the plan. "

……

By dusk, the attack had to stop and the Legion of giants should rest. The soldiers took turns to launch three waves of attacks and failed to win the fortress, and the formation of the garrison also stood for a day. After dark, it is not suitable to carry out large army operations. The archer can not see the target clearly. The whole army needs to camp, eat and rest, and send scouts to guard on all sides.

The position of the two fortresses was a little awkward. The Philistines wanted to go back to enril a little farther, and the army had to spend the night on the road. He had planned to retreat three li to set up a camp, and then organize a strong attack tomorrow. The Quartermaster reported the consumption of this day's battle. In addition to nearly a hundred casualties, the city attack flint and Heavy Crossbow arrows carried by the army actually consumed one third.

In theory, as long as the weight does not exceed the limit, stones of similar size can be thrown out. However, well trained soldiers can use stone balls of specific specifications and shapes to play the farthest range and the most accurate hit rate. The firestones in honcheng are specially mined and processed. Of course, Heavy Crossbow arrows also need to be made by special craftsmen. There are many processes, and they are important strategic materials.

It is impossible to carry too many flint and heavy arrows in the military array. All of them are allocated according to the needs of the operation. The materials in the continuous operation need to be transported to the front line continuously by the logistics Quartermaster team. Originally, the Philistines intended to break through the walls of Salem, but to occupy the fortress was just a strike. Unexpectedly, he did not succeed today. Looking at this position, the army had to run out of flint and heavy arrows when they occupied the two fortresses. He immediately ordered the logistics team to be transferred from enril.

Most of the soldiers in the regiment were not allowed to rest. After the siege had retreated, the remaining two thousand soldiers set up their ranks on the main road again, and there was a chill in the evening.

According to the report from the scouts, more than 1000 soldiers of the Salem regiment were arrayed outside the city in the morning, but they soon returned to the city. In the afternoon, more than 1000 people went out of the city and lined up to push towards the positions of the two fortresses. Many soldiers were holding torches that had not yet been ignited. Obviously, they wanted to reinforce themselves at night. Would they fight a night scuffle?

In the night war, they were afraid that people would trample on them in chaos and could not distinguish the enemy from the enemy. Therefore, the Philistines strictly reorganized the army and ordered that they must maintain the most rigorous attack formation. They could not be disordered and only waited for the decisive battle. If the main force of the Salem army can be defeated, the two fortresses will be defeated sooner or later.

The Philistines stood on the chariot, holding the Epee, majestic. As the night fell, the temperature gradually cooled, and the night wind blew through the armor, the soldiers felt the chill. It's fifty miles from Salem to the fortress. It's not far or near. The Salem army should arrive at midnight. The Legion of giants can wait for labor. The Philistines have ordered the soldiers to prepare torches. In the history of war in Tianshu mainland, there has been almost no battle between large legions at night. Can't the commander of the other side fight at all?
