Chapter 71 [Blood War Watt]
The sun had completely risen, and it was already warm when it shone on its body, but the soldiers of the Northwest Legion of the Empire who were guarding the city were cold in their hearts.
They watched with their own eyes the Great Moon Kingdom launch the first wave of attack today!
In the Great Moon Kingdom under the city, the oxen horn sounded, and then the infantry lined out several passages. More than a dozen simple shields made of giant wooden boards were slowly pushed out. The huge wooden board was wrapped with a thick layer of water-soaked yak skin, which was slippery and thick enough to resist the loss of arrows shot from the city wall. Even the wind blades and fireballs emitted by the sorcerers in the Imperial Army guarding the city could not do much damage.
A square formation of several thousand people hid behind the huge shield car and slowly approached the city wall. Behind the shield car were teams of infantry carrying ladders.
When the wheels of those bulky shields crushed the wilderness and made a squeaking sound. When they were pushed within the range of the arrows, Ruben gave the order, thousands of archers on the city wall immediately let go of the bows that had been pulled in their hands, and thousands of sharp arrows immediately poured down from the city wall! Most of the arrows were blocked by heavy wooden boards several meters high up on the shield, but a small number of arrows still shot the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom from the unblocked position of the shield. Countless soldiers fell to the ground in screams, some were shot through the arrows, and some were shot into the vital parts, and they fell to the ground and were unable to die for a while. They rolled and wailed in the wilderness.
The brilliance of the alien race in the grassland made no one in their formation slow down or run back because they were afraid. They pushed the shield car so bravely and tried to approach the city wall. Although their companions around them kept getting caught and fell to the ground, they could only throw a sad look, and then immediately turned around and gritted their teeth and shot at the imperial soldiers at the top of the city with fierce and angry eyes, and pushed the shield car with all their strength to move forward.
At the same time, the archers in the front row of the army formation of the Great Moon Kingdom also took action, and thousands of strong bows fought back against the blind shooting on the city wall. Fortunately, hundreds of white-robed sorcerers in the Imperial Army were immediately rising into the air on the city wall. Hundreds of sorcerers simultaneously made an arc-shaped light curtain. The light curtain enveloped most of the city wall. Thousands of sharp arrows shot on the light curtain, and only a few vibrations were shaken, then they fell softly from the side.
After the first wave of covered arrow rain, Ruben ordered the archers to stand by - he had to wait. It would be unprofitable to waste arrows on the tall wooden boards on the shield cart. Now stop shooting is to save the limited arrows and use them when the opponent's troops finally prepare to climb the city. Ruben sighed fiercely. It would be great if the archery stored in the Mudan important town could be brought out even one-third!
The bulky shield finally pushed to the place close to the city wall. At this time, the shield could no longer work, because the archers on the city wall could see soldiers from the Great Moon Kingdom hiding behind the shield almost vertically.
Immediately, Ruben ordered the city to pour out dense bows and arrows again, and countless bows and arrows made a "whisper" sound of breaking through the air, pressing down like a dense rain. The hundreds of white-clothed sorcerers also immediately disappeared from the city wall, and the red lights rose up on each sorcerer's white clothes seemed to be surrounded by a layer of fire, and then whirred, and more than a hundred fireballs fell from the sky and smashed into the military formation of the Great Moon Kingdom. Explosions came one after another, some soldiers hid behind the shield, and some soldiers immediately raised thick cowhide shields. The fireballs hit the shields, and some small fireballs immediately broke, stirring up sparks. The big fireballs emitted by all the powerful sorcerers often smashed the siege soldiers and their shields to pieces.
After a military call, the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom overturned the useless shield together. The team carrying the cloud ladder behind quickly rushed forward. The imperial soldiers guarding the city immediately discovered the huge threatening cloud ladder, and almost all the bows and arrows shot towards the team carrying the cloud ladder. Under the dense rain of arrows, people kept crying and falling down. The ground in front of the city wall was dyed with creeping blood. The bodies of countless soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom were lying on the ground, and many people were not dead for a moment, trying desperately to climb forward.
The team carrying the cloud ladder was the most serious casualties. The soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom carrying the cloud ladder were almost dead and injured, and many of the remaining people were injured. However, as long as a soldier of the Great Moon Kingdom carrying the cloud ladder fell, other soldiers rushed up to fill his position. Some even rushed up with their bodies to block the companion carrying the cloud ladder. One person was shot down and fell down, and two rushed over immediately! Ruben gritted his teeth. He couldn't think of why these savages from the grassland alien race had the kind of fearful courage and toughness...
Ten huge cloud ladders finally set up on the city wall. The imperial guards immediately tried their best to push the cloud ladder down the city wall. Some soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom bit the scimitar on their mouths and had climbed halfway. As the cloud ladder was pushed by the other party, they screamed and fell from the air and smashed heavily on the ground. Some stones were constantly smashed down on the top of the city. Many soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom had climbed to half of the cloud ladder, and were immediately hit by the stones that were smashed towards the face, and then they fell down with a cry.
The soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom below usually have to have more than a dozen people use their best to hold the ladder and prevent the other party from pushing it. Finally, after paying a heavy price, a first team of more than a dozen soldiers climbed the city on a ladder. After they climbed up, they were greeted by swords that were stabbed from all directions! These alien soldiers in the grassland roared bravely while rushing up to fight with the imperial guards. They chopped with swords, punched with fists, and even bite with teeth! Some were seriously injured and hugged an imperial guards closest to them and jumped down the city, swearing to death to pull an enemy to die! Some Dayue soldiers even dying would knock their bodies to the most densely-attended places, so that the enemy would stay away from the ladder and win time for the companions coming up behind them!
Ruben's eyes were red, and he was surprised by the unexpected bravery of the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and issued orders to send his troops of reserve soldiers to various weak corners of the city wall.
The first group of soldiers from the Great Moon Kingdom who climbed the city wall fought desperately, and the soldiers behind immediately climbed up from the ladder. After discovering this weakness, Ruben immediately asked his officers to wave their flags and mobilized a team of soldiers to surround them, trying to drive down the enemy troops who were killed.
The city walls were filled with screams and roars, and broken limbs and broken arms flew out from time to time. The alien warriors holding scimitars were entangled with the imperial guards. Many alien warriors were fiercely killed and actually pulled off their leather armor and helmets. While roaring, they rushed forward to fight with the imperial soldiers! Every sword was swung out, a wail was accompanied by a wail!
Far away, in the army formation of the Great Moon Kingdom under the city, a group of burly warriors wearing black leather armor surrounded a black war horse. A man on the horse, his burly figure was wrapped in a snow-white leather robe, his long brown hair was braided into countless small whips behind his head, and a hand gently put the thick brown beard on his chin. A pair of sharp eyes, like an eagle, were coldly watching the battle on the city wall, and a grinning smile was pulled from the corner of his mouth. A scimitar of an astonishing length hung around his waist, and the hilt was made of pure gold!
"Call the other people to prepare!" His voice was low and cold. Then he turned around and smiled at the person on the horse next to him, "It seems that the army of the Empire of Light is still a little more important! That Ruben is not a fool. It's a pity that I don't have a warlock in my hand, otherwise it would be much easier. Fortunately, they don't have many warlocks... Look... the warlock can't hold on and rest..."
Behind him, a red horse sat a slender man, wearing a black leather robe wrapped his body tightly, and even his hands were wearing leather gloves. A cloak was covered with black veil on his face, leaving only a pair of slender eyes.
"Luoyantar, you are really a cold-blooded guy!" The man sneered softly, his voice was extremely clear, and then he said lightly: "You are wasting your soldier's life. Although Ruben was defeated by you, the number of third-rate infantry you trained in a short period of time is not good at occupying this fortress."
"Hmph!" Luo Yantar smiled coldly, and his eagle-like gaze enveloped the man's face: "Do you think my warrior is not brave enough?"
"Brave is bravery, but I don't know how to use my brain. Infantry is not something that can be done by bravery. Look at how the soldiers of Ruben fight! I admit that your cavalry is very powerful, but the infantry is not as simple as you think. Take a closer look! In one-on-one situation, the soldiers of Ruben can indeed not defeat your subordinates, but if three empires form a group, they can effectively block at least five of your third-rate infantry! What's more..." The man paused a little, and there was a hint of disapproval in his voice: "Their warlock only needs to rest for half an hour before they can recover."
Luo Yantar raised his thick eyebrows, and a tyrannical gaze appeared in his eyes. Then this gaze flashed away. He suddenly laughed and whispered: "Look! I will definitely be able to capture Watt Fortress before the sun sets today! My infantry is indeed not as good as Ruben! But he can't hold on for long! He has won so many defeats, his morale is insufficient, and the soldiers can't hold on for long, and they will lose their slackness! As long as I continue to attack fiercely, they will soon be defeated!"
"Hmph..." The masked man in black smiled indifferently, and his tone was calm: "I believe you can capture him. Ruben is now at the end of his strength. But I said that you are wasting the lives of soldiers. You can obviously lose 10,000 people, but you have to lose 30,000 people to achieve it. What is the point of such a victory?" With a little bit of ridicule, the man in black no longer looked at Luo Yantar, slowly turned his horse's head and walked back, and he no longer cared about the fierce battle on the distant city wall.
When the man in black left, Luo Yantal showed a little anger in his eyes and said fiercely: "Of course I know that such a siege is very much, but what can I do! That Ruben burned all the things in a fire, and I had no food and grass. Could it be that I am useless here with him! Humph... The people from the Roland Continent, like the people from the Light Empire, these alien guys have no good things!"
