Chapter 299: Battle to Recapture Jianmen Fort

The soldiers below immediately cheered and shouted Ronan's name. Even the sadness seemed to be diluted. Ronan once again won a wave of people's hearts. Just like the cities he passed through before, he let his image be in the hearts of the people. More stalwart, more recognized.

The army did not stay in Fort Gessen for too long, because according to Jackson, who followed the enemy's evacuation team to investigate again after winning Fort Geshen, there seemed to be more enemy troops in Jianmen Fort, some of which had not been seen before. The flag appeared in the defense line of Jianmen Fort, and another tribe should have arrived.

Originally speaking, the Canglang tribe and the angry dragon tribe should not want other tribes to share their share of the pie, but after discovering that Ronan's fighting power is far stronger than they imagined, and they suffered successive defeats in Ronan's hands, not only All the areas that were originally occupied were taken back, and the troops suffered a certain loss. If they did not accept additional troops, even Jianmen Fort would be difficult to defend.

After all, when Jianmen Fort was built, it didn't consider how to deal with the enemies from the rear, nor did it think that one day it would be attacked from the rear, so there were no defensive facilities in the rear.

According to the plan of Jianmen Castle drawn by Jackson, the direction of Ronan's attack was first a small town. It was originally a small gathering place for the families of merchants and soldiers. Later, it gradually developed into a small town, but The guards are all guarded by soldiers from Jianmen Fort, and the wall is only three or four meters high. Athletic soldiers can climb up directly without ladders.

The back wall of Jianmen Fort is parallel and not as angular as the front. There are watchtowers on both sides and a large number of defensive equipment. The door is also very strong. It was a mechanism door designed by the king who spent a lot of money to find high-level craftsmen. The whole is made of solid iron half a meter thick, and it is almost impossible to be destroyed from the front.

"Looking at the flag, it should be the Grizzly Bear Tribe. It is a small tribe that lives in the mountains where eagles are rare. Therefore, although it is small, it is also a nation that is good at fighting on foot, which is rare for eagles. It is physically strong, but it is still not as good as orcs. .”

Looking at the general flag pattern drawn by the painter under Jackson's description, Magna, who has recently studied the historical tribal distribution and characteristics of the eagle, said.

"For the Grizzly Bear Tribe, there shouldn't be too many additional members, but since the Grizzly Bear Tribe has reached the distance, there may be two other small tribes who will settle in later. Their distance is about the same as the Grizzly Bear, and the troop The preparation time and movement speed are faster with fewer people.”

Magna continued, Ronan nodded, and then said to the officers in the conference room:

"We can't delay any longer. The number of enemy troops is gradually increasing. After the consumption of these several civil wars, our military reserve is almost at its limit. It is difficult for us to win in numbers, so we must quickly recapture Jianmen Fort. Bring the rhythm into our hands again, keep the enemy out now, and think about counterattack after we have cultivated our health and accumulated strength!

Order the troops to move out, the cavalry go first, the enemy army has not set up defenses in the town behind, and they also know where it is difficult to defend, so let's first step into the town and check to avoid being ambushed! "

Picking up the helmet on the table and putting it on his head, Ronan walked out of the meeting room first and went to find his troops.

The troops slowly moved away from Fort Gessen, leaving only a small number of defenders to guard the inner city. There were not many people left in the city. There was no need to defend the too large outer city, and the gate broken by Ronan had not yet been repaired. , I can't keep it.

Zach led the cavalry to find Jackson who was hiding around the town. By the time Ronan and the large troops arrived, the town had already been taken down by Zack and Jackson. As Ronan said, the enemy army There was no defense at all, and no troops were sent to hide in the houses. In the subsequent surprise attack, Zac led the troops to search around, and there were no living people in all the houses, except for those within the range of the defenders on the walls of Jianmen Fort. No search within that area does not know outside.

The overly dense buildings caused troubles for Ronan's troops. Many houses were built next to the walls of Jianmen Fort. This made it impossible for Ronan's siege troops to move if those houses were not destroyed. On the other hand, it is also difficult for siege equipment to enter the city.

In desperation, Ronan could only order the troops to destroy the houses in the center first and clear a wider road first, which took Ronan two days.

Destroy the house, clean up the construction waste, and the last position close to the city wall will be harassed by the enemy. You can only use a car with an arrow baffle on the top to crash the house. The construction waste is also difficult to remove. Make it as flat as possible so it doesn't get in the way.

After everything was ready, Ronan launched the attack without waiting. It was already sunset time, and it would be dark in less than two hours. The sky is already a little dark now. The sun is no longer vicious, which makes people feel relaxed. Quite a few, especially hoplites wearing several layers of armor.

The helmet alone has three layers, the soft cloth armor cap on the innermost layer, the chain armor cap on the outside of the cloth armor cap, which extends below the neck and is fixed inside the breastplate and shoulder armor, and the outermost layer wears a A full-coverage helmet, only the eyes and mouth have some holes and gaps for breathing and observation, but basically you can only see the position in front of you.

The armor on the body is thicker, with a shirt on the inside, then soft leather armor or soft cloth armor sewn, then a chain armor, and a layer of iron armor breastplate, shoulder pads and arm armor on the outside, and similar trousers, They are all three layers, the soft armor lining to relieve impact, the chain armor to protect the gaps, and the outermost layer is plate armor made of iron plates.

The entire set of equipment weighs tens of kilograms, and it is not breathable at all. It sweats quickly in the hot sun and loses physical strength quickly. Therefore, normal infantry combat must be divided into several echelons to fight alternately, because heavy armored infantry fighting intensively Tired quickly, since they had no horses to share the weight with them.

The long horn sounded, and the eagle soldiers beat the big drum on the city wall. The drums that resonated with the heart and lungs stimulated the adrenaline secretion of the soldiers, relieved their tension, and raised their fighting spirit.

The ladder was slowly placed on the city wall, holding the shield high to resist the arrows above, the infantry of the Ronan Army approached the city wall with neat steps, the sound of uniform steps and the sound of armor colliding together was very imposing, It put a lot of pressure on the defenders on the city wall.

But they were not the first group of attackers. Thirty-one extremely fast running figures quickly appeared from the Ronan army's position. It was Oxide and his werewolves.
