Chapter 169 Capture the city

Meluseus nodded, and then waved to the soldiers beside him, signaling for him to pass on the order and start preparing to attack the city, and then began to inspect the weapons and equipment.

The first group of soldiers, including Nord royal guards and Nord senior warriors, attacked the city. Meluses led the Nord temple guards and other elites in the second echelon to board the city. The new soldiers used bows and arrows to support the city.

.

As the siege echelon was prepared, the recruits also set up large shields and drew long bows. This large shield was specially made, thick and covered a large area. Infantry could not use this kind of shield for close combat. The use of this kind of shield

There is an opening in the upper left corner, which is specially designed for archers hiding behind large shields to shoot with bows and arrows or crossbows.

Ronan had hoarded a large number of crossbows, but now is not the time to use them, and it is not suitable to use crossbows in sieges. Unless the shot is very accurate, it is better to use faster and more curved bows and arrows to fire volleys.

Lethality. Soldiers hiding on the city wall are rarely killed by arrows from the front. Because they are protected by the city wall and shields, their frontal exposure area is very small, so the defenders are basically not paying attention to being hit on their heads.

The fallen arrows killed those who were wounded.

"Huha!!! Ah!!!" After the Nord soldiers banged their shields to build up courage, they began to hold the shields tilted above their heads with one hand to resist the arrows, and carried the ladder with the other hand to launch the charge. The recruits also steadily advanced and entered.

Within the range of both sides.

Arrows were flying, and most of the arrows shot from the city wall were blocked by the experienced Nord warriors with their shields. But after all, they only used round shields, not tower shields, so many people were still avoided.

The shield's arrows injured the torso or legs. In this case, if the legs were injured and fell down, it would basically be the same as death.

The first group of people to climb the city encountered the greatest dangers and casualties. In troops with good morale, such people generally participated voluntarily, because although the danger was extremely great, once they survived after climbing the city, they would gain

The rewards are also the best, and there are opportunities for direct promotion.

The bows and arrows of the defenders caused a little trouble for the Nord soldiers, but they did not cause too many casualties, far less than the casualties caused by falling rocks and hot oil attacks while climbing the ladder.

The Nord warriors opened their mouths and bit the blade of the long sword. They held the ladder with one hand and a shield with the other as they climbed up firmly. The attacks from the defenders failed to make them flinch at all, and they were even more intimidated by the attacks from the defenders.

The worst news was that hundreds of warriors armed with sharp weapons suddenly rushed out of the city. They roared and attacked the city walls and gates.

The defenders suddenly fell into a double-sided attack. The supply line responsible for transporting stones and other defensive materials was cut off directly. Without the blocks of stones and hot oil, the Nord soldiers became even more difficult to stop. Soon, several Nord soldiers

The German royal guards took the lead in boarding the city.

The leader, Emperor Nuo, grabbed the spear thrust by the defender with one hand behind his back, then swung it hard and pulled the defender who was unwilling to let go directly out of the crenellation of the city wall, screaming and falling down.

Then the Emperor Nuo pushed up the city wall directly with one arm, and quickly climbed up the city wall through the gap before the other defenders had time to set up their defenses. Then he took the weapon from his mouth, blocked left and right, and successfully helped the subsequent defenders.

The soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

The Nords were killing excitedly. After seeing the successful landing on the city, Meluses also began to lead the second echelon to charge. Behind Meluses, the Nord temple guards wearing full plate armor were unable to resist the rain of arrows.

Unable to dodge, the arrows landed on their blessed plate armor and bounced away without leaving even a scratch.

When Meluses climbed the city wall, the defenders were almost destroyed. Most of the city wall area had been lost. Only the position of the garrison where a group of soldiers gathered relied on the watchtower where the city gate mechanism was located to resist, but they broke through.

He was blocked several times by Nord warriors.

"Hold on! Reinforcements will arrive soon, be sure to hold on here." The garrison shouted to encourage the defenders, but in fact it doesn't matter whether or not the city gate is guarded. The city gate only resists the enemy's cavalry. Now

The city wall has been lost, and the enemy can completely enter the city by relying on the city wall, and there is no decent resistance force in the city. There are still some guards in the Viscount Mansion, and other soldiers, including militiamen, are on the city wall. At this time, more than three

Two-thirds lay on the ground or simply surrendered.

The reason why he is still motivating the soldiers to resist is because he still has some illusions in his heart. Of course, if it doesn't work, he will definitely surrender immediately.

But Meluses didn't want to give him this chance. Seeing the garrison officer shouting so happily, Meluses directly shook the spear in his hand. This spear had no special power. The only advantage was that it was strong enough.

It's the sharpest, and combined with Meluses's natural power, this spear is quite powerful.

"Get up!" Meluseus asked the Nord soldiers standing between him and the defender to move aside, and then began to take aim.

After taking aim, Meluses directly raised the spear in his hand, and after a short run-up, he threw the spear with all his strength. When the garrison officer saw Meluses's movements, he huddled up against a shield-bearing infantryman.

behind him, but he obviously underestimated the power of Meluseus.

The spear directly penetrated the soldier's shield, and then penetrated the armor and bodies of the two men. At the same time, it still had enough power to fly the two bodies like skewers more than a meter away and nailed them inside the watchtower.

On the big wooden roulette wheel.

"Put down your weapon and you won't die!" Withdrawing his right hand that was still throwing, Meluses stood up straight again and said to the remaining defenders who were stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Clang!" As the first soldier dropped his weapon and fell to the ground with a clang, the other soldiers also dropped their weapons and shields one after another. After a clang sound, all the defenders followed Mo Lu's instructions.

Following Seth's instructions, he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, and then the Nord soldiers stepped forward and tied them up with ropes. If they encountered someone who was uncooperative, they would punch him blindly.

As the three-layered defensive gate of Eagle Cave City was gradually opened, Aldridge and the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time quickly ran into the city along the main street towards the Viscount Palace. At this time, Snake did not know

What was going on? He never expected that his defenders could not defend Ronan's army for even an hour.

Of course, Ronan's back-up set up long ago, namely the soldiers Aldridge left in the city who usually pretend to be merchants and civilians in the city, are indispensable. Without them, even if the Nord soldiers are brave, they will not be able to sustain casualties.
