"Archer, get ready!"

The shooting of the defending archers seemed to turn on a mysterious switch. After the soldiers raised their shields to take the arrows that fell from the sky, the Richard Archers behind the siege infantry stood in place, under the shouts of the officers. Draw a few arrows from the quiver and insert them into the soft ground under the feet, then put an arrow on the bowstring, stretch the bowstring, and aim at the figure that flashes from time to time on the city wall, the metal of that arrow. The arrow shone with a frightening cold light under the sunlight.

In the next second, the officer drew out his sword and slashed into the void in front of him. At the same time, he tore his throat and roared. As soon as his voice fell, the archers unclenched the bowstrings together, and the dark rain of arrows immediately vacated from the crowd. From the sky, across the air, almost obscuring the sky, in the horrified eyes of the defending soldiers, this rain of arrows fell from the sky, directly covering the entire city wall.

Those soldiers who reacted quickly hid under the wall, panting in shock. They hid before the arrow rain fell, but many soldiers did not have time to escape and were shot into hedgehogs by the enemy's arrow rain. I saw that several soldiers who had not had time to react were pierced by several arrows through their thin bodies, and fell directly to the ground without too much struggle, losing their vitality.

At this moment, the wall was like Shura hell, flesh and blood flying all over the place, and blood was sprayed on this ancient wall without money.

However, if you think that the soldiers guarding the royal capital are so weak, you are quite wrong. The soldiers hiding in the tower relied on the protection of the city wall and unscrupulously operated the large crossbow machine installed inside to shoot at the enemy outside the city. From time to time, huge crossbow bolts flew out from the shooting port, roaring into the crowd, and directly penetrated the number. A string of human candied haws strung out from the body of a soldier.

In front of the dense phalanx formed by Richard’s soldiers, the large crossbow machine can be described as showing great power. Every shot can take the lives of dozens of soldiers. Even the strong shield cannot stop the penetrating crossbow. Ya, the blood soon stained the flat ground outside the city.

Richard is also helpless for this kind of large crossbow machine shooting in a solid tower. If the artillery and trebuchet can still be fired, he will be able to blast a tower with fire, but the towers of the walls of Nord City are not only the only ones. This one, even if one collapsed, there were still other towers that could continue shooting.

"Speed ​​up! Disperse the formation!"

Facing the giant crossbow bolts that flew from time to time, the officer who rushed in the front was very angry, but he was helpless at the moment. He could only loudly order the soldiers behind him to disperse and pray that the crossbow bolts would not fall on him, except for the giant crossbow bolts. In addition, there were a small number of arrows shot from the tower, hitting the shield and making a clanging sound-fortunately, most of the archers in the defending army were suppressed by their own archers, otherwise they would be miserable if they advanced in a loose formation. !

"what--"

A scream sounded from behind the officer. He was startled and looked back subconsciously. It turned out that the thigh of a soldier was pierced by an arrow. The blood was so intense that it almost stained his thigh. This unlucky soldier only Can cover the wound lying on the ground and moan constantly.

"Bring him to the back!" the officer shouted loudly. Several nearby soldiers rushed to the wounded soldier and blocked the direction of the arrow with a shield. One of the soldiers supported the wounded soldier. I put the latter's hand on my body and wanted to take him back together. From time to time, arrows were shot on the shields held by several soldiers, and then they were bounced off by the arc-shaped shields and fell to the ground. .

Seeing that the wounded soldier was taken away, the officer breathed a sigh of relief and continued to run forward. While they were taking the wounded soldier away, a fast phalanx already rushed to the bottom of the city wall and set the ladder on the surface of the city wall. Several people were underneath. Holding the ladder to prevent him from losing his balance and falling down, the other soldiers lifted their shields above their heads in an orderly manner and climbed up the ladder. At this time Richard's archer had stopped shooting, and the continuous high-intensity shooting made the soldiers' arms sore that they could only stop.

The Richard’s archers’ stop shooting gave the defenders on the wall finally a chance to breathe. They hurriedly left the hideout and drew their longbows to shoot at the climbing enemy, or lifted the rolling stone that had been prepared for a long time. The enemy fell heavily, and the heavy rolling stone usually released the enemy's hand, and then the whole person lost his balance and fell from mid-air, and fell directly into the crowd, overwhelming a group of people.

boom!

Just as a defending soldier leaned out of the wall and was about to smash the rolling stone at the enemy, a series of gunshots sounded from under the wall. Several blood holes appeared on his body. He lost his balance and fell from the wall together with the stone. Down. Following the source of the sound, those arquebus men dressed in strange costumes that seemed to be equivalent in this era were half kneeling on the ground, expressionlessly cleaning the gunpowder residue in the barrel, and the white gunpowder produced by the shooting was drifting in the wind.

Compared with the earliest hand artillery soldiers in the army, these soldiers equipped with more advanced matchlock guns can aim at the target while shooting. Although the shooting accuracy is still resigned, at least dozens of people hitting one person is not a problem, and at the same time The huge roar of firearms can also scare the enemy. After hearing the roar, many people saw small blood holes appeared in the bodies of several comrades inexplicably. Thought it was the enemy's witchcraft.

After thinking that this was the witchcraft cast by the enemy~lightnovelpub.net~, some devout soldiers knelt down on the spot, regardless of the killing around the battlefield, praying to the gods in their hearts, trying to use magic to deal with magic, but this did not There was no use for eggs, they were immediately grabbed by the angry officer, scolded bloody.

"shooting!"

Bang bang bang ——

After a series of gunshots, a defender attempting to attack the climbing soldier fell down. By the time when the defender fell, the climbing heavy sergeant turned over and climbed up the city wall as the first to board. Before the soldiers of the city wall had time to cheer, he was pierced by several spears facing him. Blood spewed from the wound and splashed the faces of several attackers in front of him. Several people then simultaneously used his force to pierce his body. He lifted his body and threw it directly down the city wall, smashing heavily into the crowd below, overturning several soldiers.

Similar scenarios also appear on the top of other ladders. The disadvantage of ladders that can only be climbed by one soldier at a time is this. If the defenders gather in front of the ladder and wait for it, the soldiers who climbed up can only save the gourd. Grandpa gave away the heads one by one.

Seeing the soldiers dying tragically under the enemy's spears one by one, the officers under the city wall were almost crushed with anger, but they were helpless.
