Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 261 Crossbow Ladder

"put!"

The officer in command of the catapult position swung his long sword and roared loudly, and then the soldiers immediately controlled the catapult to shoot. Dozens of boulders flew towards the city wall, and some of them flew over the city wall and entered the city, destroying many Some of the houses of the unlucky people were smashed against the city wall, but some potholes were also left on the city wall.

The last part successfully fell into the soldiers' positions on the city wall, and the soldiers who smashed them were thrown off their feet.

"Push the crossbow ladder!"

Under the cover of the front troops, several huge machines were slowly pushed onto the battlefield. These siege machines were named crossbow ladders by Ronan. He and Magna arranged to build them by hand. These machines are three meters high, and the outer skin is covered with iron to strengthen the defense. The back is a place for soldiers to climb, and the front is two huge ballistas.

In the middle of the crossbow ladder is a section ladder made of rolled iron and wood. The front end is a thick and sharp solid iron with a barbed arrow, which can penetrate deeply into the wall and is not easy to fall off.

These crossbow ladders were slowly pushed to a position more than 100 meters away from the city wall. This is the current limit range of these crossbow ladders. If it is farther away, there will be some lack of strength. If the arrows in the front section are not stuck inside the city wall, then , then it is impossible to bear the weight of the soldiers and the shock caused by the jet running.

The defenders on the city wall didn't know what these things were, but they could clearly feel that if they were allowed to function, they would definitely affect their defense.

These crossbow ladders were specially asked by Ronan to bring them here, in order to test the actual use of these crossbow ladders this time. It can be seen that Ronan had expected the talks to collapse. After all, he There is really no sincerity.

"aim!"

Each crossbow ladder is equipped with 300 troops, and the centurion in charge is ordering the soldiers in charge of manipulating the ballista on the crossbow ladder to adjust the angle and aim at the target position.

"emission!"

After all the ballista launchers responded that they had aimed, the centurion immediately gave the order to fire.

"Boom! Boom!"

The rope was cut, and the ballista immediately made a loud noise and shot the arrow above it. The two solid iron arrows flew smoothly and quickly over this distance in the air, and the rolled up ladder immediately stretched out along with the rope behind the arrows.

With a few loud noises, the city wall trembled slightly, causing the soldiers on it to shake. The officers guarding the city knew immediately when they saw the arrows deeply embedded in the city wall and the ladders connected with ropes behind them. The role of these things.

The arrows had already been deeply buried in the city wall at this time, and only the end and the rope were exposed. The rope behind the two arrows was just connected to the ladder, and it had been completely stretched out to become a slanting ladder. Up the long bridge. Four of the five crossbow bridges hit the specified position, and only one seemed to be a little bit higher due to operator error. After smashing the walls, the soldiers in that area were directly smashed into a pile of pieces of meat and left on the walls. After two scratches it stopped.

Before he had time to marvel at the enormous lethality of these ballistas, the commander defending the city immediately roared loudly:

"Cut the ropes of those ladders!"

The soldiers near the crossbow ladder immediately climbed to the top of the crossbow ladder, then held their shields and bowed their bodies and rushed along the section ladder towards the city wall. You can easily climb the city wall when you run to the end. The section ladder is relatively wide and can accommodate two soldiers moving side by side.

The ladder was a little wobbly, but overall it was fairly stable. Although it had some impact on the sprint speed of the soldiers, they would not fall down if they stood still. The arrows are stuck firmly in the city wall and will not fall off easily. The ropes connecting the ladders are also made of thin iron chains.

The soldiers defending the city kept chopping with big axes, but the effect was minimal, it just added some shaking, but with their strength and the sharpness of their weapons, it would not be a short time to cut off these iron chains. Completed.

Not to mention that there are archers who specially target these soldiers. If they want to chop the iron chains, they have to stretch out their upper body. Since then, they have no protection at all, and they are directly exposed to the firepower of the archers. , Basically, he was shot to death within a few slashes.

From time to time, soldiers who were running on the ladder were injured by arrows and fell to the bottom, but it didn't matter at all. The advantage of this crossbow ladder is that it doesn't have to go up one by one or in waves like the ladders and siege ladders. You can continue to attack, knowing that no one will be able to keep up with it.

Trezeguet also led his troops to follow after the first batch of soldiers with shields boarded the crossbow ladder. With the soldiers in front blocking them, Trezeguet behind them would basically not be attacked even if they did not hold shields. .

Ronan's troops rushed up the city wall from all directions through the ladders, siege ladders, and crossbow ladders, basically covering the entire wall under attack. The defenders soon became unsustainable because they had no ability to destroy the siege of Ronan's army. The equipment prevented the soldiers from rushing up the city wall, and the only defense equipment was destroyed by Eranikus.

The appearance of Kemira overwhelmed the last straw. After Kemira swung his flaming twin swords from the sky and decapitated the knight in charge of commanding the garrison with one blow, the garrison quickly collapsed. Mira surrenders after revealing her angelic form.

The city gate was opened, and the flames of war spread into the city. A group of knights escorted Ahalo and other five noble lords to escape from the small gate in the north of the city, but before they reached the city gate, they were thrown from the sky. Jesse stopped him.

Under the impact of the light, the horses fell down one after another and threw off the knights on them. The leading knight shouted:

"Lead the masters to disperse to the city gate, and we will hold it here!"

The knights who barely got up immediately helped the lords who had fallen unclearly and fled from the two sides. Ye Sefa did not pursue them. His task was only to find them, and someone else would naturally solve the rest.

He blocked a knight's long sword, and then directly held the head of another knight with his left hand and pinched it hard, crushing the head and the helmet, and then the light feathered from behind turned into a spear and pierced through the knight blocked by him. After lifting it up and throwing it out, Ye Sefa shook the light feather again and flew up.

Since Ronan upgraded the system again, its strength has recovered somewhat, and its combat effectiveness at this time is no longer the same as before.
