Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 641 Mature Tactics

The five hundred soldiers headed by Bai Tu were basically soldiers who defended the country, and they were the soldiers who fought until the last moment in that battle and survived. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the gold content in this.

Although he was reduced to a hard slave after the defeat of the Wei Kingdom, he was unable to train and was malnourished due to long-term lack of food.

But after more than two months of adjustments, it has still formed considerable combat power.

At the same time, more importantly, they have far more experience in defending the city than the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, especially when facing this opponent.

Looking at the ladders being put up one after another, their minds suddenly flashed back to the last battle in which they defended the royal capital. Everyone's eyes were red, and the flame of revenge was burning in their chests!

The sword fell, and Bai Tu struck out quickly and harshly. While knocking down an enemy soldier who was trying to climb up the wall, he kept moving towards the next place without stopping.

In a city defense battle, once the top of the wall is captured by the enemy, the city will most likely not be able to be defended.

The five hundred soldiers headed by Bai Tu knew this in their hearts, and at this moment, a bloody battle started directly on the wall.

During this process, Zhou Xu had already used his 'flying stone attack' to repel the siege tower, forming a large-scale invasion of troops.

After that, the enemy's siege soldiers could only climb up one by one, which was enough to greatly reduce the pressure on the wall.

The siege forces on the opposite side were unable to attack them all at once. According to the garrison strength in Huangsha City, the situation at the top of the wall gradually stabilized.

During this process, Long Zhantian, as the enemy's general, was undoubtedly observing the situation throughout the process.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he estimated the time and saw that the wall of Huangsha City could not be attacked for a long time, so he knew that the offensive might have been frustrated.

Before advancing, he was afraid of the power of the three-bow bed crossbow and asked the large troops to avoid the direction of the city gate, but this did not mean that they gave up capturing the city gate.

At this time, the troops escorting the battering ram had successfully arrived at the bottom of the city wall, and ten meters further to the side was the city gate.

After confirming this, Long Zhantian directly ordered someone to send a signal, instructing the siege troops to use a battering ram to break through the door.

After receiving the order, although the soldiers of the siege force were still wary of the power of the three-bow crossbow, their army also had a mountain of military orders. Disobedience was also a dead end, so it was better to fight for it.

With this thought in mind, the siege troops suddenly pushed the siege ram and slammed into the gate of Huangsha City with a 'dong' sound.

The city gate would not be directly knocked open in such an instant, but it would also put pressure on the defenders inside the city gate.

"What should we do? Open the city gate and use the three-bow bed crossbow to blow them up?!"

The battering ram outside hit the city gate, making muffled sounds one after another. That thing was not a vegetarian. The city gate could withstand it once or twice, but it could not hold it forever.

"No! You can't open the city gate!"

Noticing the movement here, Silk, who originally ran to act as an archer, hurried over to stabilize the situation.

"The city gate is heavy. When it opens and closes, the speed is not that fast. At this moment, the opposite battering ram is blocking the outside. In this case, once the city gate is opened, the opposite battering ram will seize the opportunity and rush in. At that time, the city gate couldn't be closed even if it wanted to be closed, not to mention that there must be a large number of enemy soldiers waiting outside." The situation now is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday they dared to open the city gate and let the three-bow bed crossbow fire because The enemy troops were still far away, and they had enough time to close the city gate after the attack was over.

But now the enemy troops and battering rams are outside. Open the city gate at this time? Isn't that seeking death?

When Silk said this, the soldiers below who were responsible for guarding the city gate passage suddenly realized the problem inside, and their faces became ugly for a while.

"Lieutenant Hilke, what should we do now?"

To be honest, Silke can't think of a good way now. It really doesn't work. The worst thing is that after the city gate is breached, they block the city gate passage and fight a tough battle with the opposite side.

If it were the previous Hilke, he would definitely have done this.

But since he became the captain of their king's personal guard, he has mastered a new skill, that is, when in doubt, go to the king!

"Inform the king of the situation here and go quickly!"

Hearing that urging, the soldiers who reacted ran away and rushed towards the wall.

The battlefield was noisy, and the movement was even louder. For Zhou Xu, who was on top of the wall, the actions below were completely stuck in the blind spot of his vision. Unless he leaned over the wall to see, there was no way he could see it. It's impossible to notice.

But now there are a lot of enemy soldiers building ladders and pushing siege towers to attack the city. What's the difference between lying down on the wall and seeking death?

At this moment, Zhou Xu frowned after learning the news. After cutting down an enemy soldier in front of him with a knife, he quickly summoned a group of soldiers.

"You protect me, I want to confirm the situation under the city wall!"

"Yes!"

The elven knights headed by Silk have all been transferred to act as archers. If necessary later, they will have to be used as cavalry. Now they are not on the wall, which makes Zhou Xu can only temporarily recruit a group of soldiers. , acting as his own guard.

In order to ensure the safety of their king, the small team of soldiers set up their shields to protect the surrounding area. Zhou Xu saw the opportunity and quickly leaned out to confirm the situation under the city wall.

Sure enough, a group of soldiers were seen pushing the battering ram and hitting their city gate one after another.

At the same time, the soldiers on both sides of the city gate who had not had their turn to climb the ladders and siege towers had also gathered.

As soon as the battering ram breaks open their city gate, these soldiers will seize the opportunity, swarm forward, and enter the city!

While the soldiers on the opposite side have begun to capture the wall, operations are also taking place below, making them unable to take care of it. In terms of siege warfare, the opposite side has a fairly mature set of tactics, and the soldiers also have relatively rich experience. This also makes the opponent's tactics unfold extremely smoothly.

[It’s a pity that you met me. 】

Thoughts flashed across his mind, and he spotted the battering ram that was being pushed out and ready to attack the city gate again. Out of caution, Zhou Xu directly blasted it with two 'Flying Rock Attacks'!

With the inertia of the downward thrust, the power of the two flying stones was astonishing. The vehicle holding the siege ram could not withstand the impact of such force. While being destroyed by the 'flying stone attack', the siege ram installed on the vehicle was The hammer also became a burden at this moment, and its heavy weight caused the entire car to fall apart on the spot and shatter into pieces.

At the same time, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget the enemy soldiers gathered below.

"Muzhu, Boulder! Come up and say hello!"

　If nothing else, there will be more updates after 10:30
