Glory Riding and Cutting

Outside the city of Butu, Ronan was sitting in the big tent in the center of the main camp, having lunch with Casciano, Aldridge, Magna, and several other officers. Of course, there would be no exquisite food in military life. Yes, the meals for the officers are slightly richer than that of ordinary soldiers, with a few more pieces of meat.

The military rations of Ronan's army have always been good. Basically, they can eat meat every day. The staple food is bread or scones. These two things are easy to make and easy to carry. Bread and scones with little moisture can also be stored for a longer period of time. .

Cut off a piece of bacon with a knife, sandwiched it between the bread and bit it down, and took a sip of the hot broth. Ronan chewed a few times, swallowed the food and said:

"Arden refused to surrender, but even though he tried his best to defend, Butu City had less than a thousand defenders, and most of them had no training or even participated in battles, but they were just stubbornly resisting.

In the afternoon, I personally led the team to the city, and it won't be long before a new flag will be hung on the wall of Butu City! "

"I'll go with you, too," Aldridge said.

Nodding his head, Ronan didn't continue to say anything, but lowered his head and continued to deal with his lunch. The others were also very silent, because there was nothing to say, and the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and this battle did not require any planning at all.

Lunch time is over. After resting for about half an hour to digest and digest the food, the army started to move. The first batch of rushing teams have assembled in front of the formation. They are carrying ladders, and the middle team is still facing the siege Thump, archer troops stood behind them, covering them with bows and arrows under the protection of shields.

Ronan put on the armor, hung the nightmare around his waist, carried a full iron shield, and carried a two-handed sword behind his back. Surrounded by more than twenty Nord royal guards, Ronan will start to ascend the city after the ladder is firmly established, and Aldridge is also preparing to ascend the city in the other direction with his sword and shield.

"Archers get ready, move the stone up quickly! There are other things, you go to the west side, you go to the east side!" On the city wall, the sentinel immediately sounded the alarm bell after seeing Ronan's troops starting to gather. The defenders in Tucheng assembled quickly, and many recruits were still wearing crooked helmets, but more recruits from poor families didn't even have a decent armor, basically a layer of commoner clothes.

Under the command of the officer, the defenders of Butu City rushed to their respective posts in a panic, and the nervousness was spreading. If there is an accident, no one can guarantee that they can survive to the end, but they cannot escape, and the supervisors are behind them. Once they try to escape or disturb the morale of the army, the supervisors will directly chop off their heads.

"Woo!!!" The low horn sounded, and the soldiers on Ronan's side began to move slowly. At the same time, the archers and shield soldiers in the back row also began to move forward to get within range. The shooting range is closer than the city wall, but with the protection of a large shield, this distance is not difficult to pass.

The warriors carrying the ladder held their shields in one hand and put them on top of their heads, while holding the ladder in the other hand, they began to gradually speed up their steps until they finally started running. Ronan also held the shields and ran in the middle of the team.

"Pull the bow! Let the arrows go! The second echelon takes over!" Following the command of the city guard officer, the recruits frantically drew their bows and started throwing them at a 45-degree angle. Afterwards, the two echelons continued to shoot alternately to achieve Uninterrupted rain of arrows.

Dense arrows fell from the sky, but most of them were blocked by the shield, and only a small part caused damage. The arrows fell on Ronan's armor and shield and were directly bounced off, leaving no marks.

But next to Ronan, there was a Nuohuang who was shot in the shoulder. The sharp arrow penetrated the chain armor and did not penetrate deep into the muscle. The Nuohuang snorted, then pulled out the arrow and continued to charge forward. .

Soon, the archers on Ronan's side also made a counterattack. The Vekia archers standing in the front row and hiding behind the large shield did not cover the projectile like the opponent, but aimed and killed the general accurately. The enemy soldiers whose bodies were exposed outside the crenels of the city wall, as for the mixed archer troops behind them, they shot like the opponent.

Because if you don’t have a certain accuracy, it is difficult to directly hit the defenders hiding under the crenels and shields. After being thrown upwards, no one will be injured or even killed by the arrows falling from the sky.

The ladder was already on the city wall, and the defenders tried to push it twice, but the Nord warriors in the ground were holding on to the bottom of the ladder. They couldn't push it at all, so they could only lie down on the crenel and shoot arrows or Throwing stones, but it's easy to be named by Vikia shooters.

With the handle of the ax or the back of the knife in their mouths, one hand holding the ladder and the other holding the shield above their heads, the siege team is struggling to climb up. The journey to climb the short few-meter-high city wall will be the most casualty in this battle. The distance is even more than the casualties caused by hand-to-hand combat after ascending the city.

Because the soldiers climbing the wall can't fight back, they can only passively accept the stones and arrows from the defenders. If they are not careful, they will be shot down, fall half dead on the ground, or be smashed by the stones accidentally. head. Even if the shield can block the stone, if the hit position is not good, the soldier may be directly smashed to the arm or the shield will sink and hit his head if he cannot resist the force.

After the first batch of soldiers began to climb up, Ronan and Aldridge also began to climb up. The soldier above Ronan was hit by a stone and then loosened his grip. He couldn't hold the ladder and fell straight down. He was caught by Ronan in mid-air and swung back to the ladder. Now Ronan became the first one.

But neither the stone nor the arrow could break through Ronan's shield and armor. The arrow was bounced off directly, and even the chain armor in the armor gap could not be pierced. The stone fell on Ronan's shield or side body Finally, most of the impact was absorbed by the armor, and the remaining part could not affect Ronan's strong body at all, and could only make Ronan pause a little.

The soldiers guarding the city could only watch helplessly as the steel monster kept climbing up the city wall. When Ronan was about to ascend the city, a soldier tried to knock him down with a wooden stick, but Ronan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the wooden stick and knocked him down. Pulled him down.

"Get ready to fight! Don't let the enemy occupy positions on the city wall! Anyone who can repel the enemy will be rewarded with a hundred!" Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. As the officer shouted loudly, Ronan immediately went up to the city wall. Became the target of everyone nearby.
