Sky Dragon Rider

A set of sturdy siege ladders was successfully erected on the battlements of the Silans, and the Portland warriors howled and climbed to the top of the city with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. .

"Stab! Stab! Stab! Push hard, bastard, don't stop, whoever stops will die!"

Lei Ze, the city defense battalion commander of Li'an City, ran back and forth in the rain of arrows with a tower shield on his head, beating the restless soldiers from time to time.

Under the usual training and the commander's scolding, the soldiers of the city defense battalion gathered in the area where the siege ladders were erected, several spears stabbed in turn, and several shields stood firmly on the battlements to resist the Portlanders' shots. rain of arrows.

Not just ordinary bows and arrows, but also crossbow arrows as thick as forearms. After being fired from the huge bed crossbow, the five-strand fine steel arrowheads can be easily inserted into the city wall, allowing those skilled swordsmen to step onto the city wall .

If this kind of astonishingly powerful heavy crossbow is shot at a person, it can directly knock the person out of the city wall and fall into the city far away.

Cans of kerosene were randomly thrown down the city wall by the soldiers of the city defense battalion guarding the city, and even smashed on the siege ladder. The flames burned like maggots attached to the bones, making the people of Portland cry and howl, and some soldiers covered in fire fell to the ground. Going down a ladder, or rolling hoarsely under the city wall until it was burned to death, the added alchemy fire oil is not so easy to extinguish.

Although the strength of the city defense battalion was far less than that of the incoming Portland army, they were able to maintain the situation with the help of the tall and thick city walls and the fifth-level swordsman Lei Ze.

The first round of attack by the Portlanders was quickly beaten down by the soldiers of the city defense battalion, and they paid for it with two mobile archery towers and hundreds of Portlander corpses mixed with a small number of Slan city defense soldiers.

Except for two or three flame bombs that shook the walls of Li'an City slightly, the mages on both sides did not fire at all. They tested each other a few times before stopping, allowing the soldiers to fight desperately on the top of the city.

"Lord Mosrig! The first regiment suffered 316 casualties! Six siege ladders were lost, two archery towers were lost, and eleven bed crossbows were lost."

The clerk in charge of battlefield statistics reported the casualties as soon as possible, and at the same time sent someone to report to Bancroft, the head of the Chinese army.

"Understood, the first regiment is replaced by an auxiliary attack, and the second regiment is replaced, and the number of siege ladders is doubled!"

This result has long been expected by Mr. Mosrigwan, the second division of the Portland "Lion" Legion. After a short pause, the second round of attack started again. He didn't want to give the Slans more More breathing room.

"Yes, my lord!"

There was a rumbling sound of war drums, and long horns rang through the sky. The orderly Second Division began to dispatch troops. Soldiers lined up on the battlefield, pulled out their snow-white blades, and shone brightly in the sun. Murderous.

The soldiers in the first row roared, carrying the siege ladder and charged, followed by the second row.

The Portlanders attacked wave after wave like a tide. Soldiers gathered at the bottom of the siege ladder. Some bold archers even approached the city wall and launched precise and scattered shots. Shouting and falling down the city wall.

One side rushed to the top of the wall desperately, while the other side filled the attack point with their lives. From the beginning of the battle, the two sides were in a state of stickiness, and siege ladders were constantly being built on the city wall.

The location of Li'an City itself has certain military significance. The hill it is attached to has dangerous terrain on both sides. It is no problem for ordinary civilians to enter, but it is not suitable for a large army to deploy, and it is even more difficult to organize a siege. The focus is on the east and north, especially the east, while the north wall is harassed by feints and cold arrows.

The rigid textbook tactics are not useless. As the attacking side, they can advance or retreat, and the initiative is completely in their hands. Therefore, in addition to being well-regulated, there are very few loopholes, forcing the defensive side. .

In just a few battles, you can still persist in one breath, but over time, the disadvantage of insufficient troops will inevitably explode.

"After the notice, kill a few more bulls to feed the soldiers. There must be enough spices. Put as much as possible. If you don't have enough, go to my housekeeper Asa. He will give the cooks enough spices!"

Mosrig, who promised to reward the soldiers with expensive spices in high spirits, can imagine what kind of welcome and honor he will receive when he returns to the capital of Portland after the war is over. Throw yourself in the arms.

This time the gilding is about to turn into real gold, and he will be looked up and worshiped by the young people in the capital's aristocratic circles.

Strike while the iron is hot, Mosrig showed a smug smile!

"Damn it! This boy from the Byrd family didn't expect to be quite clever, and he caught the rhythm!"

Van der Gar, the head of the first division, was also extremely seasoned in his battlefield experience and vision. He had already seen the situation on the field, and the balance was tilting little by little towards the second division led by the young nobleman.

The Slans defending the city have gradually exposed their shortcomings. If he had known this, he should have taken this mission from the army commander, Lord Bancroft.

Maybe it only takes half a day, no, it only takes one offensive to take down this Islamic city.

"My lord, these Slans are really vulnerable. Lord Mosrig is lucky. However, the city of the Slans has not been completely captured. Maybe it will be up to you in the end."

Eifel, the adjutant of Van der Gar, the commander of the first division, could see that his boss was very unhappy, so he carefully accompanied the good words.

"Hehe, Eiffel, you really are getting better at talking."

Wearing thousands of clothes, but not wearing flattery, Van der Gar was in a better mood, shook his head with a smile, and continued to watch the battlefield.

Flattery is flattery, but Eifel is not wrong, before the balance of victory is finally locked, any accident may happen.

The first day of battle was definitely an extremely difficult day for Li'an City on the eastern border of the Slan Empire. Every Slan who participated in blocking the Portlander's attack felt like a year.

No one expected that at sunset, the Portlanders once again launched an unprecedented offensive. A section of the city wall was missed, and the dragon knight Lin Mo and the martial noble He Si rushed up immediately, two different elements The surnamed battle spirit arc slash directly plowed waves of blood brutally among the Portland soldiers who attacked the city wall.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the lost wall section was taken back, but it also sounded the alarm for Li'an City.

High-level fighters may be able to improve local dangers, but they cannot completely change the entire battle situation.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo, this city can only last until sunset tomorrow at most! You'd better make a decision early."

The Twin Star Sister, who could have retreated into the city with Baron Hong Yu and others to take command, still insisted on staying on the city wall. On the one hand, she hated the lewd and shameless Baron, the city lord, and on the other hand, she collected battle data on the spot to evaluate the military power of the world. .

After all, military technology is different. Firearm warfare and cold weapon plus magic warfare may have similarities in strategy, but when it comes to tactics, they are completely different.

Just like what my elder sister said, she is doing intelligence work for the Muslims on the defensive side, doing the best intelligence analysis for the Dragon Knight Lieutenant Colonel who can't bring back ten bulls, trying to keep him as far as possible. the situation you want.

The pressure was enormous, and like her sister, she felt unprecedented difficulties. There were no reconnaissance satellites, reconnaissance planes, fire support, and special operations forces to respond to them... none of these.

The only thing you can rely on is your own facial features and brain.

On the city wall, where the battle is still fierce from time to time, the only way to protect yourself is to hide behind the battlements carefully, and the automatic rifle on your back can only be used at critical moments. Other than that, you only have the small combat crossbow in your hand.

"Sunset tomorrow? Is there no other way?"

Dragon Knight frowned at the on-site assessment that Gemini sister sent over the radio call.

According to his original estimate, Li'an City should last at least five days, which is enough to wait for the reinforcements from the empire, and even if it is not enough, it can arrange for the civilians in the city to retreat in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly, the analysis results given by the Gemini sisters are not even half. arrive.

"If there is, my sister and I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

Li Mubing observed outside the city wall, those damned Portlanders were still attacking like mad dogs, showing no intention of stopping.

The opponent seemed to be relying on the large number of people, and deliberately used the wheel to grind the defenders of Li'an City to death.

The difference in strength between the enemy and the enemy is so great that the offensive side, relying on old-fashioned dogmatic tactics, beat the defensive Muslims to lose their temper.

In fact, the analysis results of the Li family sisters were infinitely close to the final results, not even much inferior to the analysis results of the staff group of the "Dark Night" special service brigade. The title of "Dark Night Gemini" is not in vain.

"Well, it seems that we can only execute the beheading tactic."

Naturally, he knew that Li'an City was breached, what would happen next, of course Lin Mo would not sit still.

When the city was broken, not to mention the twin sisters, even he himself was like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself.

"Beheading?"

"Behead!"

The Gemini sisters were surprised at the same time in the communication channel.

Focusing on assessing the combat power and deduction of the Portlanders and the Sri Lankans, both of them forgot that Lin Mo's combat power in the "Dark Night" special service brigade was almost equal to that of a combat squadron.

Beheading was originally a specialty of special forces.

"feasible!"

Normally, Li Muxin, the elder sister of Gemini, might not support this idea, but here, there is a great possibility.

With high-tech war equipment of the level of "Dragon General" without any fluctuations in fighting spirit and spells, it is completely feasible to use the cover of night to carry out the beheading tactics of latent assassination.

Even if it doesn't succeed, at least it can suspend the crisis of this city, even if it is good to delay the moment of breaking the city for one more day.
