Khamis laughed from the wall.
"I lost?"
Xu Siling snorted coldly: "This kind of unnecessary fighting can stop. Don't make fun of the lives of soldiers. There is no point in lingering."
"Knight executioner, let me tell you, I, Khamis, will fight to the end, and so will my knights and my soldiers!"
"Hamis, look at your city, it's in my hands now, you lost!"
"You think I will lose to a kid like Raya? Are you kidding me!" Khamis said with a ferocious face, "Executioner Knight, it's all your fault. It wasn't you who kept messing with me. Everything would have gone according to my plan! If not How do you, Raya, deserve to be on the same chess table with me!"
Xu Siling frowned: "You're crazy, old dog."
"Hamis big pig head, I, Anli, will go to the city in a minute and pull out your pig teeth one by one! Then find someone to make a dog chain with me, and put it around the neck of the dog I raise in the future!" Enli raised her sword high and cursed angrily. Khamis.
There are some differences between Xu Siling and An Li. The former likes to call people dogs, while the latter likes to call people pigs.
The only thing they have in common is that they have no quality.
Hamis stopped talking and retracted his head.
The more Anli thought about it, the angrier she became: "Xu, let's attack the city. I'm going to pull out the teeth from Hamis's pig's head."
Xu Siling did not want to attack the inner fort. There were many places in the inner fort and the outer city that could be attacked. Although the siege team was at a disadvantage, at least they had the initiative.
Especially since the outer city is wide, the formation can be easily deployed, and the numerical advantage can be used.
But the inner fort is different. Basically, there is only one side that can be attacked. If you climb up the inner fort's wall, the upper part is not very big. It's a bit like one person can't open it.
The only siege equipment that can be used is ladders and siege engines. It is difficult for trebuchets to accurately smash in, and siege towers cannot be pushed in either.
If given a choice, Xu Siling would like to capture the inner fort in other ways.
For example, fire attack, if it fails, burn them to death, which can reduce unnecessary personnel consumption, but it will take a long time.
Of course he has time to spend with Khamis, there are always ways, and there are even more ways to wear Khamis to death.
It's just a fight between trapped beasts.
Helplessly, this was the case in medieval Europe. Once you chose to attack a city, you had to carry it out all the time. Especially now that morale was soaring and the joy of victory in capturing the outer city was high. All the soldiers were looking forward to capturing the inner fort to complete the battle.
If Xu Siling decided to stop the siege now, it would have an equally great impact on morale.
These soldiers were not very smart. If they stopped attacking the city, they would think that he and Mayfair were afraid of Khamis.
"Control the outer city and stop the citizens from running around. If they run around, they will be killed. Then gather the soldiers and prepare to attack the inner fort." Xu Siling felt helpless and waved his hands without changing his expression.
Enri and Henry nodded in response and hurriedly made arrangements.
Three siege engines were made. Anyway, if they were damaged during the siege, another one would be replaced.
Three siege engines are now placed at the back, ready to attack the city at any time.
According to the current siege plan, ladders should be used as a supplement to attract firepower, and siege vehicles should be the main focus, because the best result is that the siege vehicles successfully break through, so that their numerical advantage can be maximized.
Otherwise, no matter how many people climb up the inner fort wall, it will be difficult to attack it quickly.
Although he knew it was difficult, Xu Siling could only encourage the soldiers in charge of the siege vehicles and let them capture the city gate in one fell swoop.
The soldier patted his chest and promised, but Xu Siling didn't know what the outcome would be.
This old dog Hamis is not stupid.
People who climb the city wall can be beaten back, but if the city gate is broken, there is really no room for turning.
After arranging everything, Xu Siling began to attack the city.
"Raya Justice!"
“Cut off Khamis’ pig head!”
The Raya soldiers took the lead in carrying the ladder towards the inner castle.
This time is different from the attack on the outer city. The soldiers in the inner fort are all standing troops. Their morale is much better than that of the conscripted soldiers in the outer city. The defensive offensive is also very different. Many arrows are shot down at once. Those who raise their shields and do not pay attention to protection will immediately Shot to the ground.
But the Raya soldiers were not afraid at all. The soldier carrying the ladder was shot down, and someone immediately came up from behind. He lifted the ladder and rushed forward with the others.
The Raya soldiers carried the ladder together and worked together as a team. They marched toward the inner fort with firm eyes and steady steps.
The defenders on the city wall nervously raised their spears and crossbows and fired arrows intensively, but the Raya soldiers tried hard to protect the ladder and used their shields and their bodies to block attacks from high places.
It wasn't until a ladder clicked under the inner fort wall that Xu Siling hurriedly shouted an order.
"Quick, let the siege engines set off!"
In this situation, siege vehicles must be the main ones. The soldiers on the ladder can only attract firepower, preventing the soldiers in the inner fort from destroying the siege vehicles and giving the siege vehicles more opportunities to hit the city gates.
In front of the inner castle gate, the gate is closed tightly and looks indestructible.
Siege engines moved cumbersomely and moved slowly.
The soldiers pushed the siege vehicle with all their strength, the huge wheels creaked on the ground, and there was the sound of heavy footsteps. The soldiers on the city wall stared nervously ahead.
"Watch out for the siege engines!"
The siege vehicle rumbled forward, and the huge wheels bumped on the rough ground. The Raya soldiers tightly grasped the armrests in the vehicle to stabilize their bodies. In front of them was the inner fort gate. The defenders guarded this line of defense without showing any signs of weakness. .
Screams and cries of pain arose.
The soldiers on the siege vehicle worked together to push, sweat soaked their foreheads.
The defenders on the city wall raised their spears and pushed back the Raya soldiers who climbed onto the city one by one. The defenders raised their crossbows and fired arrows at the siege vehicles intensively. The soldiers held their breath and used skillful movements to dodge and parry the shots, but unfortunately some soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.
The siege engines kept approaching the inner castle gate, and the shouts were deafening.
More arrows were fired towards the siege tower, which eased the pressure on the soldiers ascending the ladders to the city.
But this is not right.
The soldiers ascending the city must share the pressure of the siege vehicles!
Soon, dots of rockets were fired at the siege vehicles. Before the siege, Xu Siling had arranged for people to sprinkle water on the siege vehicles so that they would not be easily ignited.
With the efforts of the Raya soldiers, the siege engines gradually approached the city gate, making a deafening crash as they collided.
The Raya soldiers tried their best to let the siege vehicles slam into the city gate with maximum momentum, trying to break the enemy's defense line.
The collision of city gates and siege engines resounded through the sky, and wooden planks shattered harshly.
The city car clung to the city gate and accelerated suddenly again. The huge momentum was transmitted to the city gate. The city gate shook violently, and the defenders had anxious looks on their faces.
"Is the fuel ready? Bring it up quickly!"
"Damn it, don't wait for the fever to boil over, get it up quickly!"
The Raya soldiers could naturally hear the shouts on the city wall, but they were not afraid at all and mustered up their courage to increase the intensity of the impact again.
The city gate withstood several heavy blows and cracks spread rapidly.
The Raya soldiers had no time to be happy, and a pot of hot oil poured down on the city wall.
Hot oil was poured on the siege truck, and the hot oil immediately splashed out when it touched the soaked siege truck. When it touched the Raya soldiers under the siege truck, they couldn't help but scream in pain, but they still gritted their teeth and pushed the siege truck. let go.
"Archery!"
Several rockets hit the siege vehicle, igniting the hot oil, and the entire siege vehicle suddenly burst into flames.
Many soldiers who were splashed with hot oil were ignited and their bodies were set on fire.
Unable to bear the pain any longer, they ran out from under the burning siege engines and rolled on the ground, only to be greeted by arrows from the defenders.
Xu Siling was not unprepared. He immediately arranged for people to carry ashes and pour them on the siege to extinguish the fire. Then he poured water to lower the temperature, and then added people to attack the city cars. The city gate must be broken for him.
But this solution was undoubtedly too slow, and most of the defenders' attention on the city wall was focused on the siege vehicles.
The soldiers who climbed onto the city wall had difficulty performing their duties. They were either stabbed down with spears as soon as they climbed onto the city wall, or were hacked to death with random swords before they could stand firm on the city wall. They could not put much pressure on the opposing defenders at all.
Xu Siling gritted his teeth. Hamis was also a veteran on the battlefield and knew very well what to focus on when attacking and defending a city.
Judging from the appearance of the inner fort gate, with the current attack pace, it would only be a matter of time before the gate breaks.
The defense of the inner fort is not ready. There are enough Raya soldiers to slowly fill them in. There are definitely not as many soldiers as there are in the inner fort.
Just how many lives of Raya soldiers must be spent inside to destroy this inner fortress?
Xu Siling had heard before that war was just a bunch of numbers, but he had never felt much about this.
Now he felt the weight of these words.
Xu Siling knew that given their situation, it was only a matter of time before they could break through the inner fortress, and there was no reason why they couldn't.
But soldiers fell one after another, and this kind of battle consumption ratio was difficult for him to accept.
He could still accept the cost of fighting during the attack on the outer city, but he couldn't accept the current inner fort.
"Xu, I want to go to the city." An Li couldn't hold back either.
"Now is not a good time for you to go to the city." Henry said to dissuade him from the side, "Enri, you also know the situation of the inner city wall of Tamu Castle. You can't change anything by going up."
"Then let me join the siege truck team, and I will personally break open this broken pig gate!"
"Enri!" Henry couldn't help but get angry, "You have to believe in our soldiers, they can do it. You may not be able to help much if you join the siege vehicle queue."
"I'm strong, I can hit harder!"
"Stop talking about it."
Xu Siling waved his hand to interrupt the two people's conversation. He glanced at them both and then gave instructions lightly.
"Enri, accompany me to the city. Henry, please help me stay here."
Enri was not happy and reacted, and Henry and he quickly dissuaded her.
"You are the commander, Xu. Miss Raya ordered us not to let you participate in the siege at will."
"Yes, there is no need for the commander to attack yet. Our soldiers can do it!"
"I know they can! But I can't stand it." Xu Siling's brown eyes swept away, and his momentum was suppressed. Suddenly Henry and Anli did not dare to speak: "Do as I say, Anli, if you don't want to accompany me to the city, Just sit here and have a good time.”
Enri suppressed her blush: "Are you kidding me! Of course I want to go to the city!"
Henry wanted to say something, but seeing that Xu Siling had decided that he didn't mean to joke, he had no choice but to agree.
Xu Siling's cold brown eyes looked towards the city wall.
Even if he joins the siege truck queue, nothing will change.
But the Raya soldiers on the city wall can't tear it open, so let him tear it open!
"Henry, pay attention to the attack of the siege engine and be prepared to deal with it randomly. If the siege engine is about to be damaged, remember to push it to the vicinity of the city gate before retreating and replace it with a new siege engine. Don't let the damaged one break through the city gate. Siege engines block new siege engines."
"receive!"
Xu Siling raised his sword and shield, prepared his whole body, and glanced at Anli, who was also prepared for everything.
There was a group of soldiers following her, many of whom were soldiers of the Frofen family. Xu Siling couldn't help frowning when she saw this.
Enri saw this and said, "They want to go to the city with you, but I can't persuade them."
"I know."
Xu Siling couldn't say anything, and didn't bother to say inspiring gossip. It was now the siege stage, and soldiers died without wasting any time.
He raised his sword and shield and led Enri and a group of soldiers towards the ladder under the city wall.
Screams were heard everywhere, and many Raya soldiers fell to their deaths under the city wall. Xu Siling gritted his teeth when he saw them up close.
When an arrow came, Xu Siling raised his sword and shield to block it.
Because most of the defenders' attention was on the siege vehicles, the defensive firepower on the ladders and the city was not intense, and not many arrows were fired.
Led by Xu Siling, he wanted to be the first to ascend the ladder, but An Li and other soldiers stood in front of him, obviously wanting to help block the first wave of offensive.
Xu Siling snorted coldly and pulled An Li behind her at the foot of the city.
"Xu, let me come!"
"Lord Siling, let me board first!"
"Get off." Xu Siling forced the group back, regardless of whether they were the first to climb the ladder.
Seeing this, Enri and others quickly climbed up.
When the arrow was shot, Xu Siling was the first to notice it and lowered his head to dodge.
Then he grabbed a dagger from his waist and threw it directly at the defender who was shooting arrows at the guard tower of the inner fort.
The defender who shot the arrow fell down on the spot. He never expected that he would die in this way.
The process of climbing the city is not difficult, but the difficulty is how to gain a foothold on the city wall.
Xu Siling stood on the city wall holding up his sword and shield. The defenders in Tamubao had already raised their spears and swords to point at Xu Siling.
This dense mass of spears makes one’s scalp numb.
In particular, there is not much space on the city wall, and there is not much space for many people to stand.
To be honest, Xu Siling really didn't want to fight these soldiers with pole weapons.
But there is no other way now!
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Xu Siling held up his shield and charged at the soldiers to kill them.
Enri was panicked when she saw this scene, and quickly followed with her shield raised.
She cursed in her heart, everyone said she was a lunatic when it came to fighting, but Xu Siling was obviously crazier than her when it came to fighting!
How could one person charge against so many spearmen!
"Follow quickly and protect Xu!"
Xu Siling stood on the city wall holding a sword and shield and started fighting with the defenders' spearmen.
His eyes were firm, his body was upright, his blood was boiling, and his whole body exuded an unparalleled aura of fanatical fighting.
"Knight Raya is here!"
The spearmen in Tamubao were waving their spears sonorously and vigorously, but when they heard Xu Siling's words, their spears suddenly slowed down.
Who else could Raya Knight be?
The defenders looked at him and were stunned.
Damn it, Xu Siling has entered the city! (End of chapter)
