Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 110: Offense and defense

Latest URL: "Archers!"

"put!"

"Whizzing……"

Thousands of sharp arrows shot down the city,

For a time, the army attacking under the city let out a scream,

But if you look closely, you will find that the effect of the bow and arrow is not great, and most of the people who were shot to the ground are kobolds.

The ogres themselves have a certain resistance to bows and arrows because of their rough skin and thick flesh. At this time, the ogres participating in the attack are basically wearing rough iron armor, and ordinary arrows are more difficult to hurt them.

The so-called rough iron armor here does not refer to the poor defense of the iron armor, but the poor detail processing, or no detail processing at all.

Human armor will polish the armor to some extent, wrap it with soft material, or embed some armor directly on the clothes,

But if you look closely at the ogre capital battle armor, it is basically a shape that can be worn.

If this thing were to be worn by humans, it would be absolutely panic,

Before the battle is over, maybe I will bleed myself out first.

But I don't care if the ogre's skin is thick and fleshy, wearing these rough iron armor is nothing like that.

Because you don't need to care about these details, the ogre's iron armor is built quite quickly,

Like the direct line of Grugesh, the armor rate has almost reached half, and everyone above the ogre warrior has armor.

The improvement in the level of ogre equipment naturally caused more trouble to the Jingbei Army.

"put!"

Another round of arrows fell.

The two rounds of arrow rain did not cause much damage to the ogres. Only the semi-fixed crossbow on the city wall caused sporadic casualties to the ogres.

But it was just a tickling for the number of ogres as a whole.

"Archers attack the well rail, set fire!"

The well fence of the ogre army has slowly approached the city wall,

At this time, knocking down the well fence is the first priority of the city defenders.

The kerosene and fire that had been prepared were pushed up, and the archers of the Jingbei Army very skillfully ignited the arrows and aimed them at the huge well fence in front of them.

"put!"

In the middle of the sky, it was like stars falling to the ground, and thousands of flames shot out, bringing bursts of smoke.

The targets of the well rails are very large, and the movement is relatively slow. Each well rail is basically inserted with a dozen arrows with flames.

"Keep going!"

"put!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In the commander's hoarse roar, the archers released another volley of fire arrows.

However, the seemingly huge salvo did not have a very good effect.

Except for one kerb that stopped advancing due to the serious fire, the rest of the kerbs were still moving firmly towards the city wall with a whole body of flames.

"Damn, who taught them to do fire prevention."

The commander who fought the old battle quickly understood what was going on.

These well rails are all made of fireproof partitions, and the sand is filled between the boards.

In this way, the disadvantage is that the weight of the well fence is increased, and it is very laborious to push.

A bit naturally, it can effectively defend against the fire attack from the defenders,

Obviously, overweight shortcomings are nothing to ogres, their strength is much greater than that of humans,

But the fire compartment caused more trouble to the Jingbei Army defending the city.

Originally, the easiest way to deal with these wooden siege weapons was to attack them with fire.

The flaming arrows were released in unison, and it was very easy to turn some of the large equipment of the siege party into fireballs. Now this trick doesn't even work on ogres.

"Ballista, Ballista!"

In fact, there is no need to remind the commander, the city walls are similar to ballistas, and heavy equipment such as gun carts have already targeted these approaching big guys.

After all, Helborough is a military fortress on the front line, and all the facilities are quite complete. There are semi-fixed defensive equipment on each city wall.

"Boom!"

A powerful crossbow directly smashed the baffle in front of the well fence, and the screams of the ogres could vaguely be heard from the well fence.

Even if he was rough-skinned and covered in heavy armor, he was still as brittle as paper in front of such large-scale equipment, even a knight-level expert would have been killed directly if he was attacked by such a two- or three-meter crossbow.

However, taking away the life of an ogre is of little practical help to the whole battle situation.

The important thing is to destroy the siege equipment like the well fence.

"boom!"

This time, a rock shot by a gun truck directly hit a well fence.

The huge stone knocked down the well, and the surviving ogres escaped directly from the well.

Unfortunately, in this era, the hit rate of large equipment is generally not high.

Most of the attacks were still in the air, and more than half of the well fences still approached the city wall smoothly.

"boom!"

The wooden planks laid down on the well rail directly rested on the city wall, and directly set up the road leading to the city wall.

"Fire oil!"

A layer of kerosene was poured directly onto the wooden board placed on the city wall.

The commander personally took the torch and turned the whole board into a sea of ​​fire.

However, the ogre rushed over from the well fence under the fire.

"kill!"

The Jingbei army commander who was guarding this side took the lead in launching the attack.

This passage is not very spacious, it can only accommodate two or three ogres in parallel.

In the face of the stabbing spear, the ogre rushing in front had no room to dodge, so he could only take it hard.

The spear had a good effect, and at least two or three of the ogres charged down the city.

However, a large number of ogres in the follow-up cannot be stopped by a few spears, especially when the ogre warriors in heavy armor also flooded the city wall.

"kill!"

"Hold on!"

"Don't let them rush in!"

The city walls began to be chaotic, and the Jingbei Army tried their best to suppress the ogres who climbed the city into the corners.

More soldiers are still dealing with more ogres and kobolds from below the city trying to rush up to the tower through the ladder.

Although the ogres are powerful, the Jingbei Army still has a numerical advantage on the city wall.

Every ogre who goes up to the city wall through the well fence will face more than a dozen Jingbei Army soldiers who are waiting for work.

They climbed the city wall and did not hit the fighting will of the Jingbei Army, but aroused the blood of the Jingbei Army even more. At this time, the Jingbei Army had no way to retreat.

Not only the Jingbei Army, but the original owner of Helburg, Earl of Hel, personally joined the battle. For the Jingbei Army, this battle was a situation where there was no advance but no retreat.

"boom!"

At this time, there was an accident at a pass. More than a dozen soldiers of the Jingbei Army were knocked out, and the knight in charge of the defense was also knocked down the city wall.

A chieftain-level ogre climbed the city wall...

"kill!"

Facing the chief ogre, the surrounding Jingbei army was slightly taken aback, but this time, they did not escape like the last time.

The section of the wall that had just been emptied by the ogre chieftain was filled up again by the Jingbei Army. This time, the Jingbei Army really had nowhere to go.

In the distance, Grugesh looked at the battle on the city wall,

From the beginning of the siege~lightnovelpub.net~ Grugesh's expression on his two faces has not slowed down, and the casualties are too tragic.

Even if the siege equipment is sufficient, the siege side is still in a disadvantageous terrain. Many ogre warriors who can beat a dozen or so are easily killed by the kerosene on the city wall, which really makes him feel distressed.

Now the fighting will of the Jingbei Army is far beyond his imagination. He thinks that the smooth arrival of the well rail means victory.

Unexpectedly, the Jingbei Army, with a spirit of bravery and fearlessness, firmly restrained the ogres who climbed the city wall, and the battle at the city head was still stalemate...

Do you want to use that magic technique again? The after-effects of using up the magic technique are really huge. If it is not a last resort, Grugesh really doesn’t want to use it again…

On the city wall, Marquis Wade and the other two legion commanders of the Grand Knights rank saw that ordinary soldiers resisted the ogre chief with their lives but remained indifferent.

They are also conserving strength, waiting for something,

This time, we have to wait for the ogre to show his cards first...
