The ten siege escalade was like ten gigantic steel giants, slowly moving forward despite the rain of flames that was fading from the magicite cannons.
"Once the encirclement escalade reaches the wall, then .. a large number of enemy soldiers will be able to attack through the escalade into the wall. ”Barker's face is faintly illuminated by the light of the magicite cannon fired. Boone, Ankh, Hazer, and Gates all turned serious as well.
Linley stood on top of the wall, staring at the horde of soldiers like locusts, and the ten massive encirclement escalades. Even he felt it was a bit problematic.
"The next part of the battle will definitely be ferocious. ”
Even someone like Linley, who barely knew anything about military strategy, could predict how wild the battle would be.
"Filling!" The soldiers shouted furiously, their faces ferocious.
Tens of thousands of escalade ladders were placed on the city walls, and a large number of soldiers began to climb them, trying to attack the enemy forces on the walls and engage them in close combat. But ... escalade stairs can be destroyed, and can also be ignited by burning oil.
In addition, each escalator staircase can only fit two people at once. Faced with a large number of garrison troops attacking them at once, they were unable to do anything about it.
A soldier on top of the escalade stairs jumped up, wanting to rush into the garrison.
"Cut!"
Several swords and swords swung out, and the poor soldier in front was only able to make one strike before being chopped into a hollow nest.
"Bang!" An escalade staircase fell down, and a large number of soldiers fell down. To fall twenty or thirty meters ..it was not a big problem for the strong, but for the weak, they would die or be paralyzed from falling. The worst part was .. Many of the weapons of the already killed soldiers were lying on the ground.
So when the new army fell, they fell into the weapon.
"Snick!" Their bodies were stabbed by weapons.
A large number of soldiers also wildly shot arrows at the garrison, raining arrows falling against the walls and even into the city. Many of the city guards fell down, shot dead by arrows.
Every time, the soldiers die. Although many garrison troops were killed, many more attackers were dying.
"Hurry, hurry!" From behind the troops, the Cardinal of Darkness, Weiss Porter, shouted. "Quickly, have the siege escades pushed faster into the city walls!" Weiss Porter could not hold his composure anymore.
He hoped for a sudden change of fate.
The great siege eskade was exactly like that; a powerful tool that could change the fate of war.
They are very large, and are almost entirely made of steel and metal.
This siege eskade is like a giant car fortress. The soldiers on the wall above, when faced with the soldiers from the siege of the escalade, would not benefit anything. After all, the siege of the escalade would allow the hundreds of attacking soldiers to attack at once as well.
"Concentrate yourself on the siege!"
The commander of the south gate issued his order, and instantly, several magicite cannons attacked the siege of the escalade simultaneously. However, the steel canopy that protected the encirclement escalade was several meters thick. Even powerful magicite cannons were unable to burn such a thick layer of steel and destroy the encirclement escalade.
At most, the attack caused the encirclement escade to tremble, or perhaps kill a few soldiers on the encirclement escade.
But when the soldiers died, more soldiers replaced them from below. After all, one of the main goals of the encirclement of the escades was to act as an army dispatch mechanism.
“Come, have the first battalion gather here and prepare to defend against the siege of the first escade. "A commander shouted loudly. In order to defend against the encirclement escades, they had to use their elite soldiers.
The prefectural city of Cod wanted to try its best to block this encirclement escalade attack.
However, this 'giant' siege could only be stopped …
With a sudden 'bam' sound, the encirclement of escalade crashed into the city walls. And then some sounds of 'bang' 'bang' 'bang' can be heard consecutively, as one siege escalates after another collides with the city wall.
"Pull, pull, pull!"
On top of one of the siege escades, a military officer shouted furiously. Many of the surrounding soldiers immediately began to activate the hidden mechanisms of the encirclement escade, and with a clanging sound, the thick steel canopy protecting the encirclement escade swung down.
"Bang!" The hundred-meter-wide steel canopy smashed into the city wall.
This immediately became the equivalent of a one hundred meter wide corridor from the encirclement escalade to the prefecture city of Cod. The siege eskade was higher than the city walls. With the canopy down, the soldiers of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows were able to descend from higher ground in a wild attack.
"Brother, kill them!"
"Reply captain! Kill!!!"
Countless ferocious howls came from the soldiers, as they wildly stormed the corridor into the city wall of Cod prefecture. They had been beaten senselessly, and while they were attacking, many were shot dead by arrows or destroyed by magicite cannons. They did not even have the chance to fight fairly with their enemies.
This kind of frustration and resentment had built up in their hearts.
And now, they finally had a chance to explode.
The ten siege escalades represent the ten corridors. A large number of soldiers crowded into the wall, attacking the defenders. The garrison troops from the prefecture city of Cod did not move either. They used large stones to attack, or burn oil.The hundred-meter-wide corridor was filled with people.
A soldier beheaded his opponent, but then someone hit a spear in his chest.
The battles on the walls and siege escades were meat grinders!
The attackers and defenders fought in close combat!
A large number of corpses clumped the area, forming piles so high that they were even taller than the wall itself when the body fell down. Blood splashed everywhere, causing rivers of blood to form over walls and corridors. Countless soldiers continued to take up their weapons, charging towards their enemies.
For the sake of survival.
To repay their friends.
"Bang!" "Bang!" …
The magicite cannons aimed their fire at the siege escade now, as the people on the siege escade were very tight. Its density was ten times greater than the ground below! Countless warriors wanted to use the encirclement escalade to attack the enemy walls.
Indeed, the soldiers moved quickly. Immediately, they managed to storm from the siege of the escalade to the city walls. It was only a hundred meters away from the encirclement escalade to the city walls! Given the strength of these soldiers, they did not even need ten seconds to close such a distance. They all had hopes that for ten seconds when they were exposed and in the open, the magicite cannons would definitely not be able to attack them.
And yet!
Magicite cannons kept firing against the encirclement escalade, each explosion claiming the lives of hundreds of soldiers. Unfortunately, the speed at which magicite cannons killed people was much slower than the speed at which soldiers from both sides killed each other in close combat. The soldiers of the Cod prefecture city started to die in large numbers as well now.
“In close combat, the death ratio will be close to one on one. "Barker looked at Linley. "Lord Linley, if this continues, we won't be able to survive. ”
Indeed . The enemy has a total of 1.6 million soldiers. Although they had lost some before, 1.6 million was a huge number, and that loss did not mean much. The prefecture city of Cod only had 500,000 soldiers. If they were to fight against friction at one-on-one speed .. losing three or four hundred thousand enemies would result in them still having nearly a million soldiers, but for Cod, losing three or four hundred thousand enemies would result in them still having nearly a million soldiers, but for Cod, it was not the case, they would only have less than a hundred thousand left.
It cannot be allowed to continue!
Of course, this was only the death ratio for the soldiers in close combat. If they took into account the damage caused by the magicite cannon, as well as the people shot dead by the arrows, the prefecture city of Cod still had a huge advantage.
“Gates, go destroy that corridor for me. "Linley pointed to the thick steel canopy-bridge of one of the encirclement escalades.
After the hundred meter thick steel bridge, a few meters wide was destroyed, then ...there would be a distance of nearly ten meters from the siege of the escalade to the city walls. Only fighters of a certain rank could jump that distance, and in addition, when they jumped, the city troops would be able to use their spears to greet them the moment they landed …
"Yes, God. "Gates admitted with a loud voice.
Boone, Ankh, and Hazer did not hesitate at all as they headed as well. But Barker, since he was now a Saint, could not get involved.
Gates' body flared with battle-qi, and in his hands, he held the 5300-pounder-weighted greataxe. With a huge leap, he flew straight into the corridor where the battle took place. The bridge was full of people, as many soldiers wanted to attack the enemy walls.
"Bang!" A terrifying axe-shaped explosion of battle-qi energy was cut open, splitting several dozen warriors apart at the waist instantly. Body parts flew everywhere, spraying blood into the surrounding area. Instantly, a large gap appeared in the corridors.
"Bombs!"
Like a demon god, Gates used a terrifying 5300-pound greataxe when he landed on that empty area. Almost instantly, a large number of enemy soldiers immediately filled the gap, all of them attacking Gates wildly.
"Hmmph!" Greataxe in hand, Gates delivers a terrific blow to the bridge below.
Greataxe fell, as soft as falling leaves, attacking the steel bridge. Only a soft clink rang out, but then ..a large hole appeared on the steel bridge, and a large amount of steel dust was suddenly lifted and carried away by the wind.
Holding something heavy as if it were light!
"Bang!" Battle-qi Gates exploded in all directions like countless arrows, killing all the surrounding soldiers and attacking.
“It's really thick. "Gates muttered confidently. This sturdy steel bridge was something that even a peak-level Death Warrior of the ninth rank was unable to cut through a punch. However, the blow from the Greataxe Gates had cut in half, with only a meter of thickness remaining.
"No!" Many people from the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows, after seeing this, stared wide-eyed.
"Separate!" Gates took his greataxe down gently a second time.
"Bang!" The thick steel bridge was split into two parts, and the part lying on the wall fell down. A large number of soldiers fell as well. The effectiveness of the siege escade had been instantly halved.
If they wanted to cross into the wall, the only option was to jump over.
But the enemy guards pointed their weapons towards them, with the tip of the spear and the tip of the sword all pointing towards them. You want to jump? Then jump! You'll know what happens if you do it …
'Bang!'
The strength of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows, who had seen victory within reach, all began to feel bitter and despair.
“We almost succeeded. . “Weiss Porter let out a furious growl.
If the previous situation remained, even though the enemy continued to attack with cannons and magicite arrows, Weiss Porter was convinced.
"Weiss Porter, what now?" Guillermo.
Weiss Porter looked at him as well. "It's still early . Wait five o'clock in the morning. ”Guillermo and Weiss Porter both secretly understood.
“Although the steel bridge was destroyed, the siege escade still had some effect. ”Weiss Porter gazed from a distance .. indeed, many soldiers continued to attack the encirclement escalade, and then, relying on being at a higher place, shooting arrows or swinging rocks at the enemy on the wall.
A large number of soldiers even jumped onto the city walls.
Perhaps the initial casualty rate would be terrible, but once a small safe area was established, they could still fight on a fair footing.
"They're crazy. "Gates had experienced countless battles, but even he felt pressure.
Too many people died.
Time passed, one minute and one second each time.
Three mornings …
Four in the morning …
As time passed, the casualties for the defenders of Human Rights reached nearly two hundred thousand as well. In order for their casualties to be at an extremely high number, one could truly imagine how many died on the part of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows.
When five o'clock in the morning arrived, Guillermo and Weiss Porter looked at each other.
"Weiss Porter, as you say. Time to use our trump card. "Guillermo speaks.
