Chapter 157： Fortress Attack and Defense II

Scott turned around and said to the other mages, "It's time, let's enchant the soldiers."

Several companions nodded and followed him to an infantry phalanx.

The soldiers in this phalanx are elite at first glance. Most of them are tall and strong men, which makes people feel that they can fight ten each. There are also a small number of people who are not tall but are The kind that is short, dapper, and agile.

This is an assault soldier carefully selected by Samar.

They are all wearing well-made and high-quality leather armor, and the original limbs are also covered by leather armor.

This team of troops will act as the fist of the rebels, break through the defenses on the Thorn Fortress, and fight a **** path for the follow-up troops.

After the four mages came here, a man dressed as an officer in the phalanx stepped out and saluted them.

"My lord, we are all ready."

Scott nodded at him: "Well, we will pray for you."

As a mage, he had to pretend to be the church of the enemy in front of these low-level soldiers. Scott felt sick in his heart, but he knew that he had to endure it for a while.

Scott and his three companions each stood on one side of the phalanx. They stretched out their arms, palms facing the soldiers, and began to murmur.

Along with their singing, the soldiers' bodies began to glow slightly, and more specifically, the equipment on their bodies began to glow slightly.

This was the first time the soldiers saw this situation, and they all opened their eyes and carefully observed the equipment on themselves or their companions nearby. Some people wanted to chat with their companions, but were immediately stopped by the officers.

Is this the effect of praying to the gods? Is this the blessing of the Lord of Light? Even though they had been informed in advance, everyone still found it incredible.

A few days ago, they were selected from their respective troops, and it was announced that they would be the first to climb the wall of the Thorn Fortress as the sharp knife troops, and fight a **** way for the follow-up troops. No matter whether they survived or not, they or their families will Receive generous rewards, enough to feed and drink for the whole family.

Some people are very happy, as long as they survive, they can enjoy it, while others are very depressed. It is a very dangerous job to be the vanguard in a siege battle, let alone the Thorn Fortress, which is known as the number one fortress in the south. Well, what's the use of asking for so many rewards.

Then the priest accompanying the army suddenly came to them, saying that four priests came from the holy capital, and they brought an oracle: The soldiers who are in charge of leading the battle in this battle are all warriors favored by the Lord of Light. dǎdǎo the burden of the fallen royal family. And these four clergymen will also pray for them before the battle. This extraordinary prayer will add invulnerability to their armor.

When they heard that they were the chosen ones favored by the Lord of Light, everyone became excited. This was said by the priest himself, and even those who were depressed before recovered their spirits.

Moreover, under the blessing of the heavenly father, they are invulnerable, so they can easily survive and enjoy the generous rewards. The morale of the five hundred people was instantly boosted.

After about 20 minutes, the four "clergymen" stopped singing. They folded their arms on their chests, as if they were adjusting their breathing. Everyone was sweating profusely as if they had done a strenuous exercise.

At this time, the soldiers no longer glowed, and their equipment returned to normal. Seeing the four "priests" closing their eyes and adjusting their breathing, everyone dared not make a sound so as not to disturb them.

After nearly two minutes, Scott opened his eyes and said to the officer just now: "It's ok, now you have obtained the blessing of the Lord of Light, and when the order to attack is given later, you will fight bravely." Kill the enemy, and don't disappoint the Father's expectations of you."

When he said this, he was still panting heavily.

The officer was very excited: "Yes! My lord, we must obey the oracle!"

Just now he quietly took out a bǐshǒu and tried it on his leather armor. I was surprised after trying it out, is that still leather armor? The feeling from the bǐshǒu is simply a steel plate, but the feeling of directly touching it with hands is the same as before.

Ouch! Could it be that I am really a member of heaven, no wonder our group of people had to be selected from different troops one by one.

Scott also asked: "Don't forget to take the holy medicine distributed to you, it will make you infinitely powerful, and the enemy will be as powerless as a baby in front of you."

The officer responded immediately: "Yes, my lord, thank you very much. Praise the Heavenly Father, all glory to the Almighty Lord."

After hearing these words, Scott felt very uncomfortable. After humming slightly, he led the three companions to the army commander Samar.

"My lord, everything is ready."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

The general on the horse nodded. He looked at his subordinates on the left and right, then slowly drew out his sword and pointed forward obliquely.

"attack!"

As the order was issued, the trumpeter beside Samar puffed his cheeks and blew the horn, and the sound of the horn spread rapidly to the surroundings, echoing the battle flags whistling in the wind.

After hearing the sound of the horn, the five hundred people who had been enchanted each took out a small pill, which was very small, as big as a pomegranate seed, and they all put the pill in their mouths and swallowed it .

Soon everyone felt that they were hot all over, and their strength was pouring out continuously. Although they were wearing leather armor, they were as relaxed as if they were shirtless.

Before they had time to feel the miraculous effect of the holy medicine, the five hundred people were divided into two groups, each pushing a siege vehicle to move towards the fortress, followed by a large number of infantry not far behind them.

The other four siege vehicles also started to move, followed by a lot of infantry, but obviously not as many as the first two.

But running in front of the whole army was a large number of archers. They trotted close to the fortress, and after reaching a certain distance, under the command of the officer, they began to throw arrows at the city wall, suppressing the attack from the fortress, and covering the infantry approaching the city wall.

…

The moment the rebels' horn sounded, the defenders on the fort raised their hearts into their throats.

"Enemy arrows are coming! Pay attention to concealment!"

The defenders squatted down and hid behind the battlements. Arrows from the rebels fell from the sky like rain, and unfortunately many people who did not hide were hit by the arrows.

"Get the wounded down quickly. Fight back! Fight back!"

The archers immediately stood up and threw arrows in the direction of the rebels.

The rebel side also fell a lot of people, and they had no place to hide, and more people were injured, but they also immediately started a second wave of attacks.

The archers on both sides came and went and started a throwing battle.

As the rebel infantry approached, UU read www. Some archers of the uukanshu.com defenders began to attack the enemy troops close to the city wall, but due to the cover of the siege vehicles, the effect was not great.

Finally, the first siege vehicle leaned against the city wall, and almost at the moment when the climbing ladder reached the top of the wall, rebel soldiers climbed up the ladder and jumped up.

"Aha!"

The first rebel soldier who jumped onto the wall stared at him with red eyes, and blocked three or four swords slashing at him with unbelievable strength.

He swung his saber vigorously, and the four defenders surrounding him were shot away.

However, a sharp knight's sword passed over the four defenders who had not yet gained a firm foothold, and stabbed the rebel soldier's chest fiercely with lightning speed.

Bowman opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

His sword with all his strength was blocked by a pair of thin leather armor?
