Chapter 96: Tentative siege

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!

"Dodge! Dodge!"

The arrows fired by the Ravana light infantry drew white marks one after another in the sky, and then fell into the city wall, shooting the defenders who could not dodge, and a militia officer hiding under the wall saw him with his own eyes. A young soldier in's was running with an arrow through his throat, and blood was gushing out instantly. He ran a few steps forward by inertia, and fell to his knees in pain, trying to breathe air, but the oxygen was all. It hissed from the wound, and slowly, he finally lost his breath.

Seeing the deadly corpse of the young soldier, the militia officer swallowed, his ears were full of the screams of the soldiers on the wall and the shouts of the enemies outside the wall. The pressure of being on the battlefield made him breathless, and his heart was faint. The idea of ​​retreat was born, but he was quickly rejected by himself. He knew that the Ravana would not be merciful to these traitors.

As an officer, this is true, not to mention the militiamen who have just gone through the battlefield. Those militiamen are only young and middle-aged men recruited from the city. For four years at most, they have only been with the lord to suppress the bandits, but the bandits did not exercise them. The quality of the battlefield, because those rogues will run desperately when they see the army.

Fight with the army? Are you kidding me?

Because of this, the militias of Mumba City are fragile. Even if Richard's militias are confronted with them, the militias of the towns will probably be able to easily defeat them.

"Ahhhhh-I can't stand it anymore!"

A young militiaman finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure in his heart. He screamed and threw off the weapon in his hand, jumped out of the hiding place suddenly, and was about to rush to the stairwell in the tower. However, he hadn't ran a few steps out yet. It was fatal. The arrow followed like a shadow and shot it directly from the back to the ground. Under the horrified gaze of the militia officer, the soldier whose psychological defense line had collapsed was actually shot into a hedgehog!

The defenders on the walls were unable to lift their heads even under the firepower of the siege light infantry. They could only hide behind the walls and shiver in embarrassment. Out of their sight, the two tall siege towers were slowly moving. Close to the city wall, the Mabucu soldiers inside looked nervously at the suspension bridge made of wooden planks. Once the suspension bridge was lowered, they would leave the safe siege tower and rush into the city wall to fight with the enemy.

"After the suspension bridge is put down, you guys remember to follow me, everything will follow the actions I taught you before, remember not to..."

In the siege tower, the enlisted soldiers from all over the Mabuku region are listening to the teachings of the veterans they know. The air is filled with tension and the smell of urine. No wonder, before the war, it was normal for recruits to be nervous enough to pee their pants.

"vomit-"

Through the gap, he saw the city wall almost only a few meters away. A soldier couldn't help bending over and vomiting. An sour smell instantly filled this layer of the siege tower. After vomiting, he straightened up and wiped it away. The vomit left by his mouth makes his face very ugly.

Squeak-boom!

Finally, in the eyes of everyone, the heavy suspension bridge was put down and hit the wall. The sawdust flew across. Then, the few veterans in the lead shouted slogans to erect their shields and ran out of the dim siege tower. The smell of blood instantly filled their sense of smell. I didn’t have time to express the results of the light infantry. A javelin suddenly flew to one of the veterans who rushed forward. The javelin thrown at close range directly penetrated the shield held by the veteran, and then inserted into his chest. The unlucky veteran screamed. Staggering to the side for a few steps, stepping on the air under his feet, the whole person fell from the suspension bridge and fell into a pool of fleshy mud.

This javelin was like a signal to start the battle. There were many more defenders on the wall. Without the fire suppression of the Ravana light infantry, their morale was greatly boosted. Under the leadership of the army, there was confidence in a **** battle with the enemy.

However, it is useless to have confidence and not enough strength. It is like a certain foot basin empire confidently clamoring to destroy the celestial dynasty for three months, but at the end of the 14-year war, not only failed to destroy the celestial dynasty, but instead put itself into it. After suffering two rounds of justice, it became the only country in the world that was hit by nuclear weapons.

And these weak defenders of Mengba City have confidence but no strength. Perhaps the aristocratic private armies leading them are good at fighting, but the sheep led by the lions are still sheep after all, and they can only face enemies stronger than them. Run away with a cowardly head covering like a sheep.

"Kill! Drive them off the wall!"

"Kill! For the king! Destroy the insurgents!"

Amid the screams of the soldiers from both sides, two groups of soldiers belonging to different forces collided head-on, and then fell into a **** fight. The soldiers from the Mabuku were equipped with various weapons, such as spears or sharp swords. Either a scimitar or a battle axe, these fighters from the westernmost kingdom of the kingdom fight fiercely and give the enemy a head-on blow.

In the melee, a veteran of Mabucu wielded a terrifying mace and slammed the right arm of an enemy holding a spear. He only heard a clear bone fragmentation. The soldier's right arm slumped down. The spear also fell weakly to the ground. The severe pain made him knelt on the ground and let out screams. The Mabuku veteran stepped forward blankly, just like the Mumba soldier was wrapped in a turban. His head was a heavy blow. In the next second, blood was splashed, his brain burst, and the hard skull was directly shattered on the spot!

boom!

Not only was there fierce battle on the city wall, dozens of peasants and soldiers at the city gate joined forces to carry a sturdy tree trunk against the city gate. Before the special siege hammer (the kind in the game) was built, Richard could only use This most primitive siege hammer hit the city gate.

The gate of Mengba City was obviously reinforced. Under the continuous impact of the thick tree trunk, only obvious white spots and dents were left on the surface of the gate, but the farmers and soldiers who lifted the tree trunk were obviously out of breath. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Fortunately, the defenders on the city wall are fighting with the Mabucu soldiers who climbed up the siege tower and the ladder. They have no time to take care of these peasants, otherwise they will receive the most sincere gifts from the defenders' archers.

Looking at the city wall caught in the fierce battle, Richard looked blankly at Mabuku’s military commander Copperfield. Although the latter’s face was pretending to be nonchalant, the anxiety and worry in the corner of his eyes was quickly distracted by Richard. Dee saw it, he smiled softly and comforted: "Kopofil, don't worry too much. This is just a tentative offensive. Once I find out how strong the defenders are, I will order the withdrawal."

"Um..." Copperfield nodded, the anxiety and worry in the corner of his eyes eased a lot. He knew that Richard had no excuses to weaken his strength, and he believed in the commanding ability of the young earl.

"Okay, order the withdrawal of troops."

After observing for a while, Richard said to the bugler behind him. As soon as his voice fell, the bugler blew the retreat horn. The dull horn sound penetrated the entire battlefield and passed into everyone's ears.

Afterwards, the soldiers led by Mabucu who boarded the city wall to fight with the defenders of Mengba City retreated in an orderly manner, retreating like a tide.
