With the catapult and the city ladder, Emil is now full of confidence.
With the remaining 1,800 soldiers pushing the siege vehicles and carrying the city ladder, they came to the foot of Mawu City again.
As usual, the two sides exchanged harsh words first, and then the siege began the next day.
The first is the catapult on Shendu's side. Ten huge catapults are neatly placed 400 steps outside the town of Mawu County.
Stones weighing nearly sixty kilograms were placed in stone bags at the rear by the poisonous soldiers, ready to go. Each of the ten catapults was equipped with twenty operators. A total of two hundred people were operating these ten huge catapults from the rear. car.
In front of the catapult, 1,200 body-poisoned soldiers were divided into four groups, each group consisting of 300 people, carrying a cross ladder to the city, ready to charge at any time!
Everything was ready, and seeing the sun rising in the sky, Emil no longer delayed and immediately ordered the attack!
On the side of Mawu County, Jia Ping knew that there was going to be a fierce battle today as soon as he saw the posture of the Shendu Army. With the catapult, I am afraid that the escort army will not be able to rely on the advantage of defending the city today like yesterday. Attack the enemy without any damage.
But now that the situation has come to an end, we can only defend it bravely. The soldiers who defended the first wave yesterday rotated into the second team today and began to recharge their batteries.
What was the second team yesterday is the first team today.
After all, the first team had already dealt with a wave of attacks yesterday and needed to be repaired.
The Shendu Army's attack began soon. After the Shendu Army began to attack, the guards on the city wall could only hear a few whirring sounds, and nearly ten stone balls roared towards the Mawu County wall. .
It's just that the first round may not have been properly adjusted. Only one of the ten balls landed on the city wall, but there was no one there, so no casualties were caused.
The other nine stone balls either missed the city wall or shot too far and fell directly into the city.
But it was useless to fall into the city. Everyone in the section of the city near the city wall had been emptied by the guards, and naturally no casualties were caused to the guards.
But Jia Ping and all the soldiers of the escort army knew that this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, it didn't take long and the second round of stone throwing came quickly.
This time, they must have learned from the experience of the first time, and the accuracy of the stone throwing was much higher. Nearly half of the falling stones fell on the city wall of Mawu County.
This time everyone was prepared and avoided it, but at this moment the Shendu Army infantry also launched an attack!
"Kill! Kill all these savages!"
"Kill!"
Groups of soldiers carrying ladders to the city were densely packed like ants, following the roar of catapults.
Kaka!
The ladder with a wooden hook on the top of the frame was stuck at the top of the city.
The soldiers with the escort wanted to cut down the stairs to the city, but the rocks falling from time to time made such an action extremely dangerous.
Since the third wave of rockfalls, there have been casualties among the soldiers of the escort army. A huge stone of sixty or seventy kilograms fell from the sky and hit people with a bang. Even the soldiers of the escort army could not bear the attack force even if they were fully armored. live.
As long as they touch each other, it will result in death or injury.
However, in order to defend Mawu County, no matter how dangerous the situation is, the soldiers of the escort army can only bite the bullet!
When the body poison soldiers didn't come up, they threw rolling wooden thunder stones down, poured gold juice, and destroyed the ladder to the city.
As soon as the poisonous soldiers rushed up, the guards could only fight hand-to-hand with their knives.
Fortunately, the guards still have an advantage in terms of weapons and equipment. When faced with poisonous soldiers holding bronze weapons, the guards can often cut off the opponent's weapons with one sword. If they are lucky, they can even cut the opponent's weapons in half. .
The most brutal battle on the battlefield began. The entire city turned into a flesh-and-blood mill, and soldiers from both sides lost their lives at all times.
Although the weapons of the Guards are good, their numbers are always weak.
One-on-one is okay, the soldiers on the escort side can basically win easily, but if two-on-one, three-on-one, four-on-one...
With two fists unable to defeat four hands, the casualties of the escort soldiers were also rising.
The catapults fired for a whole hour, and the soldiers of the escort also defended against the falling stones of the catapults for a whole hour. They never allowed the poisonous soldiers to gain a foothold at the top of the city. Only then did they withstand the opponent's attack with difficulty. city.
As soon as the catapult stopped, the guards who had been worried just now no longer had any worries. All kinds of city defense equipment could be used. Under the attack of the guards who let go The soldiers were quickly driven off the city.
It's not that easy to come up to the top of the city once. The increasing frequency of rolling wood, thunder, stones and golden juice is enough to prevent the nearly a thousand poisonous soldiers below from even taking a step forward!
And behind the Poison Army, Emil, who is in the Poison Army, is furious!
"Why don't the trebuchets continue to attack! Keep attacking! There's still a little bit left! There's still a little bit left before the warriors of the kingdom can rush to the city!"
Just as his soldiers were about to charge forward, the catapult suddenly stopped firing, and all the advantages they had finally gained were gone. This made Emil very angry.
Lieutenant General Maha Thakar explained with a grimace: "Sir Emil, we have no more stones. The catapult has just thrown all the stones found from around."
"What?! There are no stones! How is it possible? Aren't they everywhere? Besides, why didn't you prepare enough stones before? Now that we are on the battlefield, you actually tell me that there are no stones. Are you kidding me! "
Amir grabbed Maha Thakar by the collar and sprayed him wildly.
Maha Thakar had a grimace and did not dare to speak. Couldn't he say that you were too hasty to collect too many stones?
I can only endure it myself.
After spraying for a while, Emil's anger finally subsided. He let go of Maha Thakar's neck with a cold snort, and said coldly: "Immediately ask someone to collect enough stones. Next time! Next time this happens again." If this happens, take your head back and explain it to the eldest prince! Do you hear me?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand!"
Maha Thakar quickly nodded in agreement and went down to prepare the stones.
The warring parties also took advantage of this gap to quickly rest.
On the top of Mawu City, Jia Ping was hurriedly counting the number of casualties.
The specific number of casualties was quickly calculated. In the previous wave of offensive, more than 60 people in the first team of more than 120 people died on the city walls.
Most of them were killed by falling rocks, and some were besieged to death by rushing enemies.
It is estimated that the poisonous soldiers who died in their hands just now must be no less than 500. The battle loss ratio of close to ten to one is logically good.
But this made Jia Ping unhappy.
There are only more than 200 people in the entire Mawu County. This time it was the opponent's lack of preparation that allowed them to withstand the attack. Next, the opponent will definitely come back with full preparation, and the attack will be even more fierce.
But their numbers have been reduced to just over 180 people, of whom 50 or 60 are injured.
The current situation in Mawu County is extremely serious.
This city is hard to defend!
