A few days later, Ronan's troops arrived at a position about a thousand meters outside the gate to the southwest of Gerson Fort. In front of them was what Jackson said was the moat. Judging from the range of the Eagles' bows and arrows, it was just at the edge of their attack range. , while catapults and crossbows can easily hit where.

The surrounding trees have been cut down, and only trees can be cut down at a distance of more than a day. The ground is a little charred. Obviously, there is too much wood. They can't use them or take them with them, so they burn them directly on the spot.

The Eagles discovered the whereabouts of Ronan's troops early in the morning. After all, the troops were too large. Ronan didn't want to hide and could not hide. The two sentries detected by Jackson lit the wolf smoke on the first day of the discovery of Ronan's troops. Therefore, All the troops outside of Gerson Castle had all huddled inside the castle before Ronan's arrival.

Two days before the arrival of Ronan's troops, Eranikus and Kemira squatted down to the supplies delivered by the Eagles to Gerson Fort. Without saying a word, the two of them rushed directly to the supply team.

First, Kemira kept killing the supply team to attract attention, and then Ilanicus directly took advantage of the fact that some of the attention was attracted, and skipped over the supply team's convoy from the air. The convoy burst into flames immediately. The temperature of Longyan was extremely high, and it burned very quickly. The supply team had no time to put out the firefighting materials before they were burnt clean.

Afterwards, Kemira forced the others back and flew away, but Ronan did not let them return, but still let them stay behind to prevent the Eagles and the supply team from arriving. The supply team that was destroyed by the supply sent a few soldiers to deliver the letter to Fort Gerson, and the rest all returned to Jianmen Fort, but obviously, the soldiers who delivered the letter and the carrier pigeons they sent out could not escape either. Kemira's poisonous hand, so Gsenburg has not yet received news of the destruction of the supplies.

After eating a meal and resting for half an hour to digest, the soldiers began to carry shields to cover the sappers and began to build bridges. Most of these sappers were the gangsters that Ronan had caught before, although they were extremely frightened, But Ronan promised to pardon them and give them some financial rewards if they survived by building the bridge, so they all died before and after they chose to take the cake that Ronan painted to build the bridge.

The bridge is made of wood, and the parts have been built by craftsmen before. It only needs to be spliced. The quality is average, but it is not a problem to withstand today's attack, and if they are attacked, they will not be needed.

After paying a lot of casualties, the wooden bridge was finally settled after two hours. The enemy continued to shoot and harass at first, but later because the distance was too limited, the effect was really poor, so in order to save arrows, it was not continued. It was shot, but only attacked with catapults, and the arrows were reserved for the next defense of the city.

After the wooden bridge was built, the troops immediately rushed across the wooden bridge with shields in batches, and the troops in the middle took parts one by one and assembled them directly after crossing the bridge. After all, the big siege equipment was transported directly to the bridge. The requirements are too large, and if the bridge is half-collapsed, it will be troublesome.

The siege ladders, cloud ladders, and some other equipment were constantly being spliced ​​together. The archers led by Jackson also passed the moat, and then under the cover of the large shield infantry, they began to counterattack on the city wall. The archers on both sides fell from time to time. The strength of the Eagles' archers far surpassed the strength of the other Gaoling noble troops that Ronan had fought before, thus causing more trouble for Ronan's troops.

"Break the door!"

The outermost gate of Gerson Fort is a drawbridge type, so Ronan specially named craftsmen to build some heavy crossbows that are used to shoot and destroy the drawbridge structure. One of the iron cables on both sides was about to break.

"Bang!" The iron cable of the suspension bridge finally broke, and the entire gate fell to the ground. After the soldiers escaped, they immediately pushed the chariot and stepped on it, and began to use big axes and saws to deal with the iron gate. It's still solid, so I don't know how long it will take to saw it, so the soldiers quickly gave up the idea of ​​sawing the gate and began to wait for Matthias to come.

Matthias also crossed the bridge under the **** of the soldiers at this time, surrounded by twenty ghoul lords, and there were two hundred infantrymen with heavy shields protecting them. In fact, there were those twenty ghoul lords. The protection is enough. Those are all warriors who can use their swords to chop the ammunition of catapults. It is estimated that only ballistas with extremely fast fire rates can kill them.

But Matthias had just crossed the bridge, and before the city gate was there, the city gate of Gerson Fort suddenly opened, the iron gate was raised, the wooden gate opened, and a team of orc warriors and male warriors in heavy armor opened. The Eagle Soldiers immediately howled and rushed out~lightnovelpub.net~ and stood in a group with the team that broke the door led by Meryses.

Their purpose is very clear, to destroy Ronan's siege vehicles. If possible, it is best to break through the troops near the city gate and rush to Ronan's archer position to kill and injure, so as to reduce the pressure on the city wall.

However, Meryses led the troops to counterattack quickly and tenaciously. They fought with the enemy troops who went out of the city to fight without giving an inch. Although the chariot was still damaged, the wheels were chopped by an orc warrior with a giant axe. .

There was fierce fighting at the city gate, and fierce fighting on the city wall. In order to deal with the attack of the archers on both sides of the city wall, the craftsmen specially added two extended baffles on both sides of the ladder, and the ladder was placed on the city wall. , the baffles on both sides completely blocked the bows and arrows from the city walls on both sides, and the soldiers who climbed the city walls still only needed to deal with the attacks from above.

However, the defenders of the Eagles were well prepared. The bed crossbows on both sides of the city walls kept filling and shooting, accurately destroying Ronan's siege equipment. The siege ladder was fine, but a big hole was punched out. If you can continue to use it, the ladder on the side of the city wall will be miserable. If it is shot, it will be cut off in the middle, and it will be directly broken into two pieces, and all the soldiers will fall.

As for the previously tested crossbow ladder, it was not put into use, because the angle formed by the range of the crossbow ladder and the height of the city wall of Gerson Fort was too slanted, and it was difficult for the soldiers to run on it.

Matthias looked at the city gate and would not be able to tell the winner for a while, and watched the continuous shooting of the crossbows on both sides, knowing that he could not drag it any longer. He originally wanted to destroy the city gate first, so as not to destroy it later. There was no magic left in the watchtower, but now there is no way to do it, because Matthias has seen Ronan riding Nanentu and taking Yesefa from the air to the right city wall.
