Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 171 Seizing the City

Meriuses nodded, and then waved to the soldiers beside him, signaling to send an order to start preparing for the siege, and then began to check the weapons and equipment.

The first batch of soldiers with Nord royal guards mixed with Nord senior fighters attacked the city, Meriuses led the Nord temple guards and other elites to the second echelon, and the recruits used bows and arrows to support the city .

As the siege echelon was ready, the recruits also erected large shields and filled their longbows. This large shield was specially made, thick and covered a large area. The infantry could not use this shield for melee combat at all. There is an opening in the upper left corner, which is specially used for archers hiding behind the large shield to shoot with bows and arrows or crossbow bolts.

Ronan had hoarded a large number of crossbows at the beginning, but it is not yet the time to use them, and crossbows are not suitable for siege, unless they are shot very accurately, otherwise they are faster and more curved. Lethality, the soldiers hiding on the city wall are rarely killed by frontal arrows. Because of the protection of the city wall and shields, their frontal exposure area is very small, so the defenders basically don't pay attention to being shot on the head. The arrows that fall kill the wounded.

"Huha!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs within the range of both sides.

The rain of arrows was flying, and most of the arrows shot down from the city wall were blocked by experienced Nord warriors with shields, but after all, they only used round shields, not tower shields, so many people were still avoided The arrows of the shield hurt the torso or the legs. In this case, if the legs were injured and fell down, it would basically be the same as being dead.

The first batch of people who ascended the city encountered the greatest dangers and casualties. In troops with good morale, such people generally volunteered to participate, because although the danger was great, once they ascended the city and survived, then they would get The rewards are also the best, and there is also a chance to be promoted directly.

The bows and arrows of the defenders caused a little trouble to the Nord warriors, but they did not cause too many casualties, far less than the casualties caused by falling rocks and hot oil attacks when climbing the ladder.

The Nord warriors opened their mouths and bit the blades of their long swords. Holding the ladder with one hand and the shield with the other, they climbed up firmly. The worst news is that hundreds of warriors with sharp weapons rushed out of the city, roaring and attacking the city walls and gates.

The city defenders were caught in a double attack. The supply line responsible for transporting stones and other supplies for the defense of the city was directly cut off. The Nord fighters who lost the stones and hot oil were even more difficult to stop. Soon, several Nuo The German royal guards took the lead on the top of the city.

The leader, Nuohuang, grabbed the spear stabbed by the defender with one hand behind him, and then with a strong flick, he pulled the defender who was unwilling to let go directly out of the crenel of the city wall, screaming and falling down.

Then Nuo Huang directly supported the city wall with one arm, and quickly climbed up the city wall through the gap before the other defenders had time to defend. Then he took the weapon from his mouth, and successfully helped the follow-up Soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

The Nords were killing excitedly, and Meriuses also led the second echelon to charge after seeing the successful ascension to the city. Behind Meriuses, the guards of the Nord Temple wearing full-body plate armor did not dodge or dodge the rain of arrows. The arrows fell on their blessed plate armor and were bounced off without leaving even a scratch. .

When Meriuses climbed the city wall, the defenders were almost destroyed, and most of the city wall area had been lost. Only a group of soldiers gathered at the position of the garrison officer to resist against the watchtower where the city gate organ was located, but they broke through. He was blocked by Nord fighters several times.

"Hold on! Reinforcements will arrive soon, and you must hold this place." The garrison officer shouted to encourage the defenders, but in fact, it doesn't make much sense whether to defend the city gate or not. The city gate only resisted the enemy's cavalry. The city wall has been lost, and the enemy can completely rely on the city wall to enter the city, and there are no decent resistance forces in the city, only the Viscount Mansion still has some guards, and other soldiers, including militiamen, are on the city wall. At this time, there are more than three Two-thirds lay on the ground or simply surrendered.

The reason why he is still motivating the soldiers to resist is because he still has a little fantasy in his heart. Of course, if it really doesn't work, he will definitely surrender immediately.

But Meriuses didn't want to give him this chance. Seeing the garrison officer screaming so happily, Meriuses directly shook the spear in his hand. This spear has no special power, the only thing is that it is strong enough. The sharpest spear, combined with the natural power of Meriuses, this spear is quite powerful.

"Get up!" Meriuses moved the Nord warriors who stood between him and the Vindicator out of the way, and began to take aim.

After aiming, Meriuses directly raised the spear in his hand, and after a short run-up, he threw the spear in his hand with all his might. The garrison officer shrank directly behind a shield-bearing infantry after seeing Meriuses' movements, but he obviously underestimated Meriuses' strength.

The spear directly penetrated the soldier's shield, and then penetrated the armor and body of the two men. At the same time, there was enough power to fly the bodies of the two men in a string for more than one meter before nailing them inside the watchtower. On a large wooden roulette.

"Put down your weapon, you can survive!" Withdrawing his right hand that was still in the throwing state, Meriuses stood up straight again and said to the remaining defenders who were stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Clang!" After the first soldier dropped the weapon in his hand and landed on the ground with a clang, the other soldiers also dropped their weapons and shields one after another. Seth's instructions squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, and then the Nord fighters stepped forward to tie them with a rope. When they encountered some uncooperative, they directly punched him hard.

As the gates of Eagle's Cave City with three layers of defense were gradually opened, Aldridge quickly ran into the city with the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time and ran along the main street to the Viscount's Mansion. At this time, Sneko didn't know What's going on, he never expected that his defenders couldn't defend against Ronan's army for even an hour.

Of course, the backhands that Ronan had deployed long ago were the fighters that Aldridge left in the city who pretended to be merchants and civilians in the city. Without them, even if the Nord fighters were brave, they would not be able to kill Take down the walls so fast in such a small situation.
