Outside the city of Butu, Ronan was sitting in the big tent at the center of the main business with Cassiano, Aldridge, Magna, and several other officers having lunch. Of course, there will be no exquisite food in military life. Now, the food of the officers is a little richer than that of the ordinary soldiers, with a few more pieces of meat.

Ronan's military rations have always been good. Basically, they can eat meat every day. The main food is bread or scones. These two things are easy to make and easy to carry. The bread and scones that have no moisture can be stored longer. .

Using a knife, he cut a piece of cured meat, sandwiched it between the bread, and bit it. He also drank a mouthful of hot broth and went down smoothly. After chewing a few times, Ronan swallowed the food and said:

"Arden refused to surrender, but even if he was trying his best to defend, there were less than a thousand defenders in Butu City, and most of them were not trained or even participated in combat, but were just stubbornly resisting.

In the afternoon, I personally led the team to the city. It won't be long before another flag will be hung on the wall of Butu City! "

"I'm going with you too," Aldridge said.

Nodding, Ronan didn't continue to say anything, but lowered his head and continued to deal with his own lunch. The others were also silent, because there was nothing to say, and the strength of the two sides was very different, so there was no need for any planning in this battle.

The lunch time was over. After resting for about half an hour to digest and digest the food, the army began to move. The first group of rushing teams had already assembled in front of the formation. They were carrying the ladders, and the team in the middle was still facing the siege city. Hammer, the archer troops stood just behind them, covering them with bows and arrows under the protection of shields.

Ronan put on his armor, with Nightmare Nightmare hanging from his waist, an all-iron shield, and a two-handed sword on his back. He was surrounded by more than 20 Nord royal guards. Ronan would start to climb the city after the ladder was firmly established. Aldridge also took his sword and shield in the other direction to prepare to climb the city.

"The archers are ready, quickly bring the stones up! There are other things, you go to the west side, you go to the east side!" On the city wall, the sentinel sounded the alarm immediately after seeing Ronan's troops starting to gather. The defenders of Tucheng quickly assembled, and many recruits were still wearing helmets crookedly, but more recruits from poor families did not even have a decent armor, and were basically a layer of cloth.

Under the command of the officers, the defenders of Butu City went to their respective posts in a panic. The tension was spreading. The recruits swallowed their saliva, and the palms holding the spears were full of sweat. In the event of an accident, no one can guarantee that they will survive to the end, but they cannot escape, and the guards are behind them. Once they try to escape or disturb the hearts of the army, the guards will cut off their heads directly.

"Woo!!!" The low horn sounded, and the soldiers on Ronan's side began to move slowly. At the same time, the archers and shield soldiers in the back row also began to move forward to enter the range. Generally speaking, those on the ground The range is closer than the city wall, but with the protection of a large shield, this distance is not difficult to pass.

The soldiers carrying the ladder put their shield on top of their heads with one hand, and the ladder with the other began to gradually speed up the pace under their feet, until they finally started to run, and Ronan also ran with the shield in the middle of the team.

"Pull the bow! Release the arrow! The second echelon will be replaced!" Following the command of the defending officer, the recruits hurriedly pulled the bow and began to project it at an angle of 45°, and then the two echelons continued to shoot alternately to achieve Uninterrupted rain of arrows.

Dense arrows fell from the sky, but most of them were blocked by the shield, and only a few of them caused damage. The arrows fell on Ronan's armor and shield and were bounced off, leaving no marks.

However, there was a Nuohuang beside Ronan who was shot in the shoulder. The sharp arrow went through the chain armor and did not go deep into the muscles. The Nuohuang groaned, then pulled out the arrow and continued to charge forward. .

Soon, the archers on Ronan's side also made a counterattack. The Vicia archers in the front row hiding behind the large shield did not project like the other side, but aimed to kill the generals with precision. The enemy soldiers whose bodies were exposed outside the crenels of the city wall, as for the archers with mixed arms behind them, projectiles like the other side.

Because if there is no certain accuracy, it is difficult to directly hit the defenders hiding under the stacks and shields. After the upward projection, no one will be injured or even killed by the arrows falling from the sky.

The cloud ladder was already mounted on the city wall, and the defenders tried to push it twice, but the Nord soldiers in the ground were holding the bottom of the cloud ladder firmly, and they couldn't push it at all. Throwing rocks, but it's easy to be called by the Wikia shooters.

With the handle of the axe or the back of the knife in his mouth~lightnovelpub.net~ holding the ladder with one hand and holding the shield on top of his head, the siege team is struggling to climb up, and the journey to climb this short few meters high city wall will be The distance with the greatest casualties in this battle was even greater than the casualties caused by hand-to-hand combat after climbing the city.

Because the soldiers who climbed the wall could not fight back, they could only passively accept the stones and arrows of the defenders. head. Even if the shield can block the stone, if the location of the hit is not good, the soldier may be directly smashed and his arm may be broken or the shield sinking and hitting his head.

After the first group of soldiers began to climb up, Ronan and Aldridge also began to climb up. The soldier above Ronan was smashed by a stone and his strength loosened, and he couldn't hold the ladder and fell directly, but He was caught by Ronan in mid-air and swung back to the top of the ladder, and this time Ronan became the first.

But neither the stones nor the arrows could penetrate Ronan's shield and armor. The arrows were bounced off directly, and even the chain armor in the gap of the armor could not be penetrated. The stones fell on Ronan's shield or side body. After that, most of the impact force was absorbed by the armor, and the remaining part could not affect Ronan's strong body at all, so Ronan could only pause for a while.

The soldiers guarding the city could only helplessly watch the steel monster keep climbing the city wall. When Ronan was about to climb the city, a soldier tried to knock him down with a wooden stick, but Ronan, who was quick-witted, grabbed the wooden stick instead. dragged him down.

"Prepare for battle! Don't let the enemy occupy a position on the city wall! Anyone who can repel the enemy will receive a reward of 100!" Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. became the target of everyone nearby.
