Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Vol 3 Chapter 37: Wave Attack One

   Lothar treated this battle as a preview of the attack on Qatar City.

   It takes twenty minutes to push the ladder to the side of the city wall. Naturally, it will not be the simple long ladder that is often used in the film and television dramas used when attacking the outer city yesterday.

   is the type with six rows of rollers at the bottom, grappling hooks at the top of the ladder, shields on both sides of the bottom, two folded sections, called the siege tower in the game, the real siege ladder.

   After all, neither the eight-meter-high city wall of Nuremberg or the ten-meter-high city wall of Qatar City is something to be gnawed down with a long ladder.

   Other things, if you want to use that kind of simple long ladder to attack the city, the length of the ladder must be a bit higher than the height of the city wall.

   The eight-meter long ladder is simple to make, and it can quickly pass the enemy's long-range strike and send it to the city wall, but how to stand it up against the rolling logs of the city defenders is enough to make the attackers' scalp numb.

   is the most, that is, after the real ladder has been placed on the city wall and has contained the enemy's defensive force, it is used to open up more penetration points.

   However, putting five ladders on the east side of the city wall just over 100 meters at a time, in addition to proving that Lothar really wanted to use this to train soldiers, there was no need for the suspect to put in too many long ladders.

   The ladder stopped four meters from the city wall. The squadron leaders who did not need and could not get further instructions from Astana immediately ordered the soldiers to stand and untie the ropes, and the second long ladder was raised through the pulley block in the middle.

At the same time, the defenders on the wall, who were suffering from the blows of crossbows and stone bullets, were also trying to pour all kinds of defensive equipment on the heads of the siege infantry under various orders from the generals in a panic. .

Unfortunately, at this point, most infantrymen no longer need to actively expose themselves to the enemy’s attack in order to cover the advancement of the ladder. Except for the troops that raise the ladder to rely on the resistance of their comrades, other soldiers have already hid in the ladder’s protection. Behind the shield.

   Those arrows and stones can only be hit on the ladder with a "duod" or "bang" sound. Apart from breaking some wood in the corners, it is difficult to cause serious damage.

  , after all, is only eight meters high. If you want to simply rely on the force of the fall to destroy a ladder that is at least ten centimeters in diameter and is covered with several layers of water-soaked linen cloth, you must have heavier stones.

   But to throw such a stone four meters away, the requirements for the strength of the upper limbs of the soldiers are quite high.

It's not that the defenders have no strength and great pawns, but when they tremblingly hold the boulder to the crenel and prepare to throw them, the master archers from 120 meters away will always shoot several arrows into each other. The empty door wide open. For the worst results, these "hercules" have to try to hit their own feet.

   The master archer here, of course, refers to the snow lion elite longbowman that Lothar can now rely on.

Since discovering that the attack on the city, even with the blessing of gravity, was not enough to wear the iron helmets of the penetrators at a distance of 120 to 150 meters, Lothar moved the Longbowmen forward by 30. Meters, mixed with the armored crossbowmen.

   When the enemy crossbowmen shifted their energy to the infantry under the city, these long-range forces also got more room to play, and the frequency and accuracy of shooting were improved again.

   As for the problem of insufficient attack power of the longbowmen?

  Nuremberg's defenders, there can be several wearing chain deck armor.

   Even if I encountered it, what did the powerful steel crossbow arrow do?

  From the beginning of the attack to the present, the number of casualties on Lothar's side was close to fifty, almost one to two with the defenders on the city.

   Lothar one, the enemy two.

   Lothar is quite touched by such smooth progress.

   "It seems that even in such an era, to be the first to expose one's key strength in the battle is to create opportunities for the opponent."

"Yup."

   Hearing the lord’s sigh, Miles, who sometimes looked up to observe the progress next to him, sometimes lowered his head to write and draw on the draft paper, also hurriedly agreed.

   "If it weren't for Viscount Nuren who was anxious to let the defense equipment attack the troops that cleaned up the ruins yesterday, it would be nice if three of the five ladders could reach the city wall smoothly."

   Lothar nodded slightly to agree, but did not say that he had more associations.

   In these tactics, these fighters who have spent half their lives fighting are much better than him, a half-slapped commander.

   The two people who sang a harmony did not know that the ruins that were cleaned up yesterday were triumphantly produced by Viscount Tiste. When they put great effort into arranging the venue, the faces of the knights under his hands praised the monstrous Haikou.

   How could the Viscount, who commanded his troops for the first time, tolerated Lothar's troops so easily destroying his own ‘work hard’.

   More importantly, he thought that Lothar's siege equipment, which was placed two hundred meters away, did not have many soldiers guarding him to lure him out of the city, was pretty good.

  The craftsmen who can build these devices are precious resources everywhere, and the Viscount really did not expect Lothar to be able to build them.

   It's like he didn't expect Lothar to be able to attack his castle.

  ……

   The sound of "Kab...Kab..." pierced through the noisy battlefield with a slight movement, but it brought the increasing shouts of the city up and down the city at the same time.

   "The enemy has attacked..."

   "Archer... Archer, shoot arrows quickly..."

   "The city is broken, run away..."

   "Hold, the infantry came forward and blocked the enemy's attack for Lao Tzu, and we won by holding..."

   "The castle is indestructible, the food in it will never be eaten, and it will never be broken by the enemy. No one who guards the castle will be rewarded with a lot of gold coins..."

  ……

   This is the cries of different people in the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The panic is undoubtedly revealed.

   This panic is not only a strong sense of tension caused by hand-to-hand combat at close range, but also the momentum created by Lothar's side at the beginning, and the panic created by being severely suppressed from a long distance.

   "Command, attack."

   "Follow the captain and be careful not to fall behind."

   "Shield soldiers pay attention to cover, and always be alert to the opponent's attack."

   This is the roar of the siege troops. Compared with the panic of the defenders, under the command of the officer on Lothar's side, even the private soldiers of the lord who went on the battlefield for the first time can step into the attack in an orderly manner.

   A part of the soldiers were left to guard the ladder. Several squadron captains took the lead on the long ladder and attacked with falling rocks and logs above their heads. Behind him are the warriors and heavy archers who hold him with a shield in one hand and the other.

Relying on their own force, except for the two guards who were smashed down the long ladder, leaned on their armor to hide behind the ladder barrier, and the heavy archer took over the assault task, several attacking troops successfully boarded the stack. The gap where the wall was smashed.

After the leading soldier is holding a shield to resist the weapons on three sides, he slashes the tomahawk directly into the enemy’s body, or is blocked by the enemy’s shield, and then pulls the axe back to hook the enemy’s shield. The short bow or throwing axe behind you completes the compensation.

   This is the coordinated attack method of the Fieldsway infantry.
