Chapter 442 Siege
"My lord, should we take advantage of the fact that the imperial army is not stable, and send an elite army to attack the imperial army, so that the imperial army cannot rest, and even directly defeat the imperial army!"

Wearing a golden battle armor, a blood-colored cloak, and a sharp long sword hanging from his waist, Zhong Xingsi, the highest military officer of the castle with the strength of a fifth-level fighter, asked Gao Liquan who was observing the imperial army.

"No need! You just need to do a good job of defending and prevent the imperial army from entering the castle, and you've done a great job!"

Hearing Zhong Xingsi's words, Gao Liquan shook his head lightly, and said with a calm expression.

Gao Liquan has already made a retreat plan, collecting all the gold coins and valuable things in the castle into his space ring, and concentrating some relatively valuable materials in the inner fort of the castle, and his family and confidantes have also prepared to retreat Once the outer fort of the castle was breached by the imperial army, he took his family and confidants and escaped through the underground passage of the inner fort.

Now that he was ready to retreat, how could Gao Liquan take the initiative to send an army to attack the imperial army!The later the imperial army attacked the castle, the better it would be for Gao Liquan, and the more time he would have to retreat.

As for whether the imperial army could break into the castle, Gao Liquan had no doubts at all. He did not believe that the first baronie attacked by the imperial army would survive!Unless, the imperial army is willing to lose face.

"The defense of the outer fort is left to you. Whoever dares to resist your order, you have the full power to kill on the spot!"

After observing the imperial army five miles away, Gao Liquan thought to Zhong Xing who was on the side, and brought a few confidants down from the castle wall and walked towards the inner fort.

Seeing the back of Gao Liquan leaving, Zhong Xingsi first showed a trace of suspicion in his eyes, and then flashed a flash of light, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a disdainful smile.

"If you want to use me as cannon fodder, don't even think about it!" Zhong Xingsi sneered secretly in his heart when Gao Liquan's back disappeared on the castle wall.

With a sneer, Zhong Xingsi began to inspect the three-foot-high castle wall.

The castle wall of the Baron Castle is more than three feet high, nearly four feet wide, and two feet wide. There is an archery tower every 50 meters, and a storage building every ten meters, storing a large amount of war materials.

At this time, the Baron's Castle had 15 soldiers, [-] of whom were patrolling the walls of the castle, ready to resist the attack of the imperial army at any time, and [-] soldiers were stationed in the barracks on the four sides of the city wall, and they could climb the city wall at any time to support the city wall Soldiers fight and replace wounded and tired soldiers.

After walking around the four-foot-wide passage of the city wall, Zhong Xingsi returned to the west wall of the castle, which was where the imperial army was located.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and more than 3 soldiers of the new imperial army, under Gu Wende's order, quickly got up, lined up quickly according to the formation of the brigade, and waited for Gu Wende's order to siege the city.

"The first regiment took the lead in attacking the baron's castle. Without my order, you are not allowed to retreat, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" After seeing more than 3 new army soldiers lined up, Gu Wende ordered loudly with a stern expression on his face. .

Following Gu Wende's order, more than 1 soldiers from the three brigades of the First Wing, under the yelling of the first Wing Captain, the three brigade captains, and the nine squadron leaders, quickly stepped out and carried Holding the siege equipment, he rushed towards the wall of the baron's castle.

Ten large trebuchets, fifty trebuchets, hundreds of five-to-six-foot-long ladders, dozens of five-to-six-foot-high archery towers, and a more than ten-foot-long siege vehicle. It also poses a great threat to the three-foot-high city wall of the Baron's Castle. Once these siege machines are used, at least half of the more than 1 soldiers can successfully climb the city wall, causing serious damage to the soldiers on the castle wall. Great damage, even the castle walls can be captured.

The distance of five miles passed by in the blink of an eye. Ten large trebuchets and fifty trebuchets stopped 500 meters away from the castle wall. Throwing it away, it fell on the castle wall fiercely, killing and injuring some unlucky defenders.

Dozens of five-to-six-foot-high archery towers, pushed by the soldiers of the first regiment, approached a hundred meters from the city wall. Soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs boarded the archery towers and began to shoot arrows with their bows. The arrows were thrown towards the soldiers on the city wall, killing and wounding a soldier defending the city.

Immediately afterwards, a squadron of more than 300 soldiers, holding a high shield and pushing a ram car more than ten feet long, galloped straight towards the west gate of the castle, intending to ram the west gate of the castle with the ram car. open.

At the same time, other soldiers held up hundreds of five-to-six-foot-long ladders, uttered a loud cry of killing, and rushed towards the castle wall, intending to hit the ladders on the city wall , along the ladder to climb the city wall.

Looking at the imperial soldiers charging from below, Zhong Xingsi, who was standing above the city wall, kept his expression unchanged, and loudly ordered to the adjutants beside him: "Pass my order, defend the city wall with all your strength, and be sure to defeat the enemies in the future!"

Following Zhong Xingsi's order, the defenders on the castle wall also began to show their power, and launched a fierce counterattack against the imperial soldiers attacking the city below. All I saw were large bed crossbows being pushed by a soldier defending the city. Come out, bump into a giant crossbow arrow one foot long, stir the winch of the large bed crossbow, aim at the trebuchet and trebuchet 500 meters away, and the archery tower [-] meters away.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Accompanied by the sound of crisp air, giant crossbow arrows one foot long shot out from the bed crossbows, and with terrifying power, they shot towards the trebuchet, trebuchet and arrow tower and go.

boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by loud noises, a large trebuchet and three trebuchets were destroyed by giant crossbow arrows and turned into a pile of waste wood. Dozens of arrow towers were shot, and a large hole appeared on the huge baffle. Ten soldiers were pierced through their corpses by giant crossbow arrows, uttered screams, fell from the arrow tower, and died tragically on the spot.

When the giant bed crossbow was in full swing, a soldier guarding the city stood on the city wall, condescending, facing the imperial soldiers below the city wall, and the ramming vehicles that were constantly approaching the city gate, opened his bow and shot arrows, shooting sharp arrows Arrows, leaning towards the imperial soldiers and the ten-foot-long crash vehicle below the city wall.

Facing the dense rain of arrows from the soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers of the first regiment quickly dispersed. The ladder quickly rushed towards the direction of the city wall.

In a short distance of [-] meters, hundreds of soldiers died tragically under the dense arrow rain. Soldiers of the first regiment leaned on the castle wall one by one on the ladders. Each soldier held a shield in one hand and a shield in the other. The weapon climbed up the city wall along the ladder.

Seeing the ladders being leaned against the city wall, the soldiers defending the city let out angry shouts one after another. An archer played bow and arrow at the soldiers on the ladders, and pointed sharp arrows at the soldiers on the ladders. A soldier on the ladder poured away.

Facing the dense arrow attack, although the soldiers on the ladder used the shields in their hands to block part of the arrows, they were finally shot by the sharp arrows, uttered a scream, fell from the ladder, and died tragically. on the spot.

Under the threat of the archers of the soldiers on the city wall, none of the imperial soldiers successfully climbed the city wall. A guard soldier with a spear also quickly walked to the position where the ladders were, and pushed down the ladders one by one. The soldiers clinging to the ladder uttered screams, fell from the ladder, fell on the ground outside the city wall, and hit a large group of imperial soldiers.

A thousand meters away, Gu Wende stood in front of the army, quietly watching the siege actions of the soldiers of the first regiment, his expression was extremely calm, and he was not at all worried about the siege of the first regiment.

Zhao Hu, who belongs to the third regiment, stood in the middle of the army, watching the siege of the first regiment thousands of meters away, his head was spinning rapidly, thinking that when it was his turn to attack the city, what if he successfully boarded the city? The city wall broke open the city gate and entered the castle.

As time went by, the siege battle became more and more intense, and more and more soldiers died in the first regiment. Some soldiers with low psychological quality completely collapsed in the cruel siege battle, threw away their weapons, Fleeing away from the rear, wanting to stay away from the battlefield, away from death.

However, what greeted these deserters was not a bright future, not hot meals, but a sharp knife light. A master of the worship hall raised the sharp sword in his hand and chopped off the head of a deserter, making It becomes a headless corpse.

Seeing the enshrining hall attack and beheading dozens of deserters, the captain of the first regiment looked extremely ugly, roared angrily, and shouted loudly: "All those who retreat, kill without mercy!"

After finishing speaking, the captain of the first regiment waved the sharp long sword in his hand, beheaded several retreating soldiers, and aroused the fighting spirit in his body, let out an angry roar, and rushed towards the place where the castle wall was. .

Following the demonstration of the captain of the first regiment, the captains of the first regiment, the squadron leaders, and the squad leaders of the first regiment showed their strength one after another, aroused the fighting spirit in their bodies, beheaded the retreating soldiers, and set an example. Launch a ferocious attack on the castle.
