Chapter 82 The lonely city is hard to defend

"The attacking vanguards in this way have suffered a lot of casualties."

Not far from the trench outside the city, Valus, who was camping to command the battle, saw the momentum of the attack being suddenly smashed down by a wooden rock and couldn't help but want to persuade the real commander of this army, His Highness Nicholas.

Cologne, Nicholas ignored the deaf ears and watched the soldiers indifferently pay a lot of casualties before they approached the castle. The heavy armored vanguard in charge of the forward was hit by a wooden rock. The person climbing the ladder behind him was unblocked by the rain of arrows from the defenders at the top of the city. In Valus's opinion, the attack in the dark was completely unclear where the defensive weakness was. He hoped to stop the attack for the time being and fight again tomorrow.

But Nicholas flatly refused: "We have seized the initiative. Now all we need is to do is to tell everyone that there is advancement and no retreat in this battle. If we win this place, we can win with confidence." Without the refutation of the deputy commander who is much older than him, Nicholas issued a cruel order. He stared at the walls of the pebble castle in the darkness and made up his mind that he must use the victory of this war to prove himself to his father, Emperor Mikhail.

After receiving the order, Epirus' army approached the wall of the Pebble Fort step by step. Since the front could not be attacked, it was divided into two groups. On the left and right sides of the city wall, the two companies launched another attempted attack under the leadership of their commanders. This time, the heavy armored soldiers put on three layers of iron armor and held shields to climb first, and at the same time, there were several archers behind them to cover them.

Although General Terendes could not see the enemy's movements clearly in the darkness, he installed sentries with extremely alertness everywhere, so he predicted the enemy's next moves as soon as possible. Under his command, the defenders of Pebble Fort immediately responded.

Fortunately, Niulu Zhangjing has been through the battle for a long time. Therefore, he can still bear it. He only hopes to capture the city as soon as possible and end everything in front of him.

"Prepare on the east and west sides, take out the long halberd to fight!"

Soon, every soldier on the surrounding city wall was assigned a long halberd. Although this weapon was shorter than a spear, it was more suitable for use in narrow and narrow places in the city tower, especially against the First-Cross Warriors.

The bows and arrows under the city were shot towards the top of the city. Some people who were thriving at the time of the city were shot and killed. The Pebble Fort defenders could only temporarily slow down the rolling wooden stones and choose to line up the array on the side of the wall to wait.

Listening to the sounds under the city, the soldiers pursed their lips and their chests were rising and falling. They just watched nervously the movements on the other side of the ladder.

Finally, near the left wall, an Epirus soldier holding a long shield and a wide bladed knife appeared at the entrance of the ladder. There was no doubt that his figure was stronger than that of an ordinary soldier. He was wearing heavy armor and two layers of chain mail as a protection, with only two eyes exposed on his body.

As soon as he appeared at the top of the city, he did not look inward, but he protected himself with a shield to prevent the defenders from coming in from coming. In the meantime, he suddenly jumped down from the top of the city and rushed over with an unparalleled momentum.

But what greeted him was not the old, weak, sick and disabled who had originally expected to be panicked, but the rock iron formation with firm will under the command of Terendes.

"Yu!"

Several soldiers had already been ready to go, and immediately resisted the shield that Epirus had hit, and several other soldiers also smashed the arm with their long halberds and slammed them hard on the opponent's arm, like a cone chisel. After taking the severe pain, the warrior Epirus subconsciously dropped the shield. Even though he had three layers of armor protection, both the armor and the chain mail were only resistant to sword slashing, but the armor-breaking cone of the halberd was as heart-wrenching as an iron chisel.

After all, the soldiers of the Pebble Fort, who had cooperated with him, hooked him with a long halberd, and soon several long halberds stabbed Epirus Xiandeng. But after all, the armor of the Xiandeng was well defended and could not get in for a moment. The Epirus warrior who was reluctant to support him knew that life and death were only in one thought. He tried his best to wield the long sword and force the Pebble Fort defenders to open the Pebble Fort. Dmitry, who saw the key, rushed out and shouted:

"Thorn their weakness!"

As he said that, he stabbed Epirus's warriors with a spear in his hand and immediately killed him.

"We must never let them succeed in entering the city, and everyone will follow me to fight against the enemy!"

With a shout, the soldiers guarding the city became more motivated, and then two Epirus heavy armors appeared first on the top of the city. This time, the soldiers of the Pebble Fort did the same, but a warning came from behind.

"Be careful, back!"

It turned out that the heavy armored first followed several Epirus crossbowmen. They climbed the city tower under the cover of the forward and fired crossbows against the unprotected halberds.

At this time, a pebble fort defender suddenly rushed up from one side. He was hesitant and obese, he could only be responsible for carrying the rolling stones. But seeing that his companion was in danger, the defender bumped into it without hesitation, with indescribable ruthlessness and accuracy. Even though Epirus first pierced his chest with the sword in his hand, he was still hit hard by the other party.

After a few screams, the warriors and the crossbowmen fell down the city tower together with the bodies of the fat defenders.

But before there was any time to be sad, the defenders of Pebble Fort found that a total of more than a dozen enemy troops had jumped off the city wall at this time. If they opened up the situation, there would be constant enemies behind them who would climb down the ladder.

"Stop them!" The defenders who shared the same hatred of the enemy picked up their long halberds and stabbed them. For a moment, the Epirus people were in a hurry. They were wearing heavy armor and were very inconvenient to move.

Taking this opportunity, Terendes shouted: "Prepare the tinea oil!"

Do you use tinea oil now? Dmitry, who was fighting in front, was shocked. This was their last resort. The old general was ready to use it from the beginning. Without time to think about it, Dmitry commanded his companions to fight and retreat. More and more places on the wall were broken through, and more Epirus people climbed up, but they did not realize that it was deliberately done by the Pebble Fort defenders.

"Kill! His Highness Nicholas ordered that the first person to take down the Pebble Fort be rewarded!"

The inspired Epirus soldiers were completely red in their eyes. In their eyes, they were already sure to win. The Epirus people kept approaching the corpse that was lying everywhere and lying everywhere. The Pebble Fort defenders were also slowly retreating. As the enemy continued to climb up, their casualties increased, but the army was not crushed, but continued to shrink until the predetermined position.

Finally, when the Epirus army, who were huddled together to climb the city tower, they suddenly realized that they could not move forward any further. The warriors in front of them showed fearful eyes at this time. They had no time to issue warnings and sprayed a viscous black tar at their black siphon, and then the torch that had been prepared had been thrown out by General Terendes' order.
