Lord of Riders

Chapter 216: Break the city

"Call me a thousand warriors! I'm going out of the city to destroy their weapons!" Salton watched as his archers couldn't cause any damage to the enemy at such a distance, but the enemy could continue to kill his own men. The soldiers couldn't help but get anxious.

"My lord, a thousand warriors are useless. There are more than 10,000 enemy infantry in front of those slings, and thousands of crossbowmen. We can't break through their defense at all!" The adjutant quickly persuaded him.

"What do you do then!" Salton asked rhetorically

However, before the adjutant could answer, a piercing arrow shot through the adjutant and directly nailed the adjutant to the wall. The adjutant died on the spot.

Lord Salton hurriedly hid behind the female wall. The enemy's two-meter-long crossbow bolts were really terrifying. It was almost mortal to be hit. The thick crossbow bolts with a thick wrist could directly rip a big hole, even if not on the spot. It will not be long before death.

Salton really wants to cry without tears now, this Shao Ming Kingdom always uses some strange weapons

If it is a head-to-head siege, Salton is not afraid at all, but now such an enemy can hit himself but cannot hit the enemy, which is very troublesome.

The catapults of the Shao Ming Kingdom kept throwing stones at the city walls, and the Nord soldiers fled everywhere.

"Siege!" Shao Yu ordered as the enemy on the wall began to chaotic.

The soldiers began to carry their shields towards the walls of Kudan

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows" see Shao Yu's soldiers rushing over, Salton hurriedly ordered the shooting

The archers of the Nord Kingdom hurriedly fired arrows at the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom who were attacking the city, blocking their footsteps.

Under the attack of the catapults, crossbowmen and ballistas of the Shao Ming Kingdom, the Nord's garrison could only resist sporadically, and most of the soldiers still avoided rounds of slings.

When the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom launched an siege, Salton's men had already suffered thousands of casualties. Those shooting archers were constantly shot by Shao Yu's ballista.

Soldiers of the Nord Kingdom continue to supplement the casualties on the walls

However, under the suppression of the long-range weapons of the Shao Ming Kingdom, the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom were also weak in their counterattacks.

The soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom soon arrived under Kudan City. A siege ladder was erected.

The soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom began to climb the city wall.

The wall of Kudan City is ten meters high, and crossbowmen from the Shao Ming Kingdom also came to the city to suppress the wall with firepower. At the same time the infantry set up a large number of siege ladders

The soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom climbed to a place four or five meters away from the head of the city and began to light the Molotov cocktail in their hands and throw them onto the city wall.

The Molotov cocktail burst into flames on the city wall. Further disrupted the resistance of Nord's defenders

"Throw the stones on those ladders and smash them down!" Salton watched the soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom climb up, then looked at the stones on the city wall, and then ordered.

The Nord soldiers also immediately began to execute their orders, using the stones of the Shao Ming Kingdom’s catapult to fight back against the Shao Ming Kingdom’s offensive.

After the soldiers of Shao Ming attacked the city wall, the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom also began to fight back fiercely. Stones, throwing axes, and spears greeted the siege soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Nord Kingdom are equipped with a large number of throwing axes and spears, these weapons are very lethal at short distances. Throwing axe on the shield can cut a hole directly.

The soldiers of the Shao Ming Kingdom also began to suffer serious casualties.

The Shao Ming Kingdom attacked the city for half an hour, and the soldiers suffered more than 500 casualties. The soldiers of the Nord Kingdom also suffered thousands of casualties.

"Your Majesty! The large sling has been built!" Just as the siege ahead was fierce, the engineer behind the sling came to report.

"Okay! Order the soldiers to withdraw! Use slings to attack!" Shao Yu said immediately

Shao Yuming retreated his troops and let the soldiers who were attacking the city retreat.

At the same time, large catapults were also pushed to the front line.

This catapult is ten meters high and eight meters wide. It uses a huge triangular base and two huge catapult poles underneath, along with heavy objects, torsion springs, and steel cables to assist throwing.

This huge catapult was pushed onto the battlefield, and then began to fill with special boulders

A large stone weighing five to six hundred kilograms was put into the launching frame by the soldiers laboriously.

With Shao Yu’s order, this huge rock flew towards the head of Kudan’s city.

"boom!"

The huge boulder hit the city wall, and immediately opened a hole in the city wall.

"What is this!" Salton was taken aback.

The huge rock caused a shock in the city wall. The wall of Kudan City was three meters thick. It has not collapsed yet, but cracks have also appeared.

Many of the walls of Calradia are made up of stones. Without the cement of later generations, the stone connections are not so strong. A little shaky because of the impact of the boulder

At the same time, a large number of fragmentary stones shot towards the city, continuously increasing the casualties of the defenders.

Salton was beaten without power. No one had ever used such a siege weapon before, so there was absolutely no confrontation experience at all.

A stone fell beside Salton and hit a soldier. The soldier snorted and then died.

The huge stone of Shao Ming Kingdom soon flew over, but this time it did not hit the city wall, but fell behind the city wall and knocked down a house. But did not cause any casualties

Shao Yu’s giant catapults have poor accuracy. Similarly, those catapults have poor accuracy. Shao Yu can only project four or five stones at a time to increase the probability of a stone hitting the target.

The Shao Ming Kingdom’s long-range firepower suppression was very strong, but Salton soon discovered the law. Whenever the Shao Ming Kingdom’s soldiers use trebuchets to attack the city, the Shao Ming Kingdom’s infantry will not approach the wall and become infantry. When we siege the city in close combat, the trebuchet will also stop attacking.

Because the accuracy of the trebuchet is too poor, if you attack at the same time, you will inevitably hurt yourself. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the enemy’s landing when the catapult attacked~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After discovering this rule, Salton quickly ordered the soldiers to hide under the city wall, reducing the number of soldiers on the city wall, in order to reduce the chance of being hit by the catapult. .

As a result, the number of soldiers guarding the city decreased, and the hit rate of the Shao Ming Kingdom’s catapults was indeed reduced a lot. The rate of casualties in the Nord Kingdom also slowed down.

"Aim! Launch!"

Shao Yu was not in a hurry, and he commanded the catapult, and continued to use the giant catapult to bombard the city wall.

With the squeaks and screams of the trebuchet, a huge boulder was thrown out again.

The sling throws an elegant arc and flies towards the walls of Kudan

When Salton saw another boulder came, he was nervous

Fortunately, this huge stone of hundreds of kilograms accurately fell two meters below the city wall, smashing into a big hole.

Shao Yu looked at the accuracy of the trebuchet and suddenly there was a black line on his face
