Chapter 443
The captains of the first regiment, the captains, the captains and the squad leaders, all showed their power, took the lead, and fought hard to kill the enemy. Immediately, the morale of the soldiers of the first regiment was greatly increased, and they all uttered angry roars, and followed behind their chiefs. Launch a ferocious assault on the Baron's castle.

Facing the sudden aggression of the First Regiment, the soldiers on the walls of the Baron’s Castle were in a hurry at first, and then because of their strength and condescension, they had a great advantage and quickly suppressed the First Regiment so that they could not Ascending the city wall, the number of casualties continued to increase.

Half an hour later, more than 1 people in the first wing had died, and more than 2000 people had died. Gu Wende's face showed a hint of disappointment, and he gave an order to retreat.

Following Gu Wende's order, crisp metal sounds resounded in the battlefield, and the soldiers of the First Wing, who were attacking the city, retreated towards the rear like a tide.

Seeing the retreat of the first regiment, the soldiers on the city wall immediately stepped up their offensive. Sharp arrows, like torrential rain, poured towards the soldiers of the first regiment, shooting each soldier to death on the city wall. below.

When the first wing retreated to a safe area, it dropped thousands of bodies again, causing Gu Wende, who was watching the battle from a distance, to shake his head, and the disappointment in his eyes grew stronger.

"The second wing is attacking. Without my order, it is not allowed to retreat. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

Ignoring the retreating first unit, Gu Wende turned his attention to the second unit and ordered loudly.

The Second Wing received the order without the slightest hesitation. Amidst the yelling of the second Wing Captain and the Battalion Captain and Squadron Leader, they pushed large catapults, trebuchets, arrow towers, ramming vehicles and other siege vehicles, and launched an attack towards the Baron's Castle. Ferocious attack.

The performance of the second wing was much better than that of the first wing. Instead of immediately launching an attack on the castle, they set up trebuchets and trebuchet positions 500 meters away, and continuously fired stones at the baron's castle, allowing the castle to The guards on the city wall did not dare to look up, so they could only hide behind the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the second regiment pushed the arrow tower and set up an arrow tower position a hundred meters away. An archer carried a large number of arrows to the arrow tower. He did not immediately shoot at the soldiers of the Baron Castle, but quietly Standing on the five or six-foot-high archery tower, looking down at the guarding soldiers on the city wall, ready to rain arrows on the guarding soldiers on the city wall at any time.

When the archery tower was ready, the large troops of the second regiment dispersed, holding shields and ladders, and rushed towards the wall of the baron's castle.

At the same time, dozens of archers on the watchtower also began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, raining arrows on the soldiers on the castle wall, preventing them from attacking the second wing's echelon team.

Under the pressure of the dense arrow rain from dozens of archery towers, the defenders on the walls of the Baron's castle were unable to launch a favorable counterattack against the echelon team, allowing the echelon team to reach the bottom of the city wall smoothly, and lean the ladders one by one on the wall .

However, after all, the defenders on the walls of the Baron's castle are numerous and occupy an absolute numerical advantage. Each of the arrow towers began to display their power, leaning one by one sharp arrows towards the arrow tower a hundred meters away, suppressing the arrow tower rain of arrows.

At the same time, the archers on the city wall also opened their bows and shot arrows one by one, leaning towards the soldiers of the second regiment on Yunti, shooting and killing the soldiers of the second regiment one after another. , falling below the city wall.

After the spearmen on the city wall were no longer threatened by the rain of arrows, they quickly ran to the ladders one by one and pushed down the ladders one by one. The soldiers of the second regiment on the ladders kept falling to the ground, making a loud noise. With a shrill scream, it hit a large group of soldiers.

In this way, as soon as the Second Wing launched an attack, it launched a fierce and brutal fight with the defenders. The number of casualties between the two sides continued to increase sharply, and the battle became more and more fierce. Countless fragments of limbs were scattered on the walls and Below the city wall.

However, the Second Wing belonged to the attacking side and was in a disadvantageous position. The loss was much greater than that of the castle wall. If the fierce fighting continued, the Second Wing might be crippled.

Gu Wende, who was watching the battle a thousand meters away, saw that the second regiment fought so bravely and the battle was going well, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he praised the second regiment a few words, and ordered the second regiment to retreat .

He, Gu Wende, didn't expect the Second Wing to capture the castle, he just wanted to use the defenders of the castle to train the soldiers of the new army, let the soldiers of the new army see blood, and improve the combat effectiveness of the new army.

Now that the Second Wing is so ferocious and performing so well, it has also suffered more than 1000 casualties. It has achieved the purpose of training troops, and there is no need to waste its troops on attacking the city.

Following Gu Wende's order, the crisp metallic sound rang out over the battlefield, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier. The soldiers of the Second Regiment who were attacking the city did not retreat immediately, but were led by officers at all levels. Under these circumstances, they launched a wave of fierce attacks on the castle defenders, and then retreated in an orderly manner to the rear, not giving the castle defenders a chance to mass-kill the soldiers of the second regiment.

When the Second Wing retreated, only more than [-] people died, which was much better than that of the First Wing.At the same time, the brave performance of the Second Wing was also appreciated by Gu Wende, and it was regarded as fulfilling Gu Wende's order.

"The third wing is attacking. Without my order, it is not allowed to retreat. Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed without mercy!"

After the second team withdrew, Gu Wende turned his attention to the third team and ordered loudly.

The third wing, which received the order, did not hesitate at all. Under the orders of the wing captain, the battalion captain, and the squadron leader, they moved quickly and rushed towards the castle with the siege equipment.

With the siege experience of the first and second regiments, the third regiment was much calmer. First, it set up a trebuchet position 500 meters away, and continuously threw large stones towards the castle wall. Go, suppress the defenders on the castle wall, and destroy the arrow tower above the castle wall by the way, making it impossible to remotely suppress the defenders when the army is attacking the city.

When more than half of the stones in the trebuchet and the trebuchet were consumed, the soldiers of the third regiment continued to move forward and set up an archery position a hundred meters away from the baron's castle. The arrow tower is ready to remotely suppress the defenders on the city wall at any time to assist the army in attacking the city.

As soon as the archery tower position was set up, the main force of the third regiment let out a loud cry of killing. A soldier held up a shield, carried a ladder, spread his ankles, and ran towards the bottom of the castle wall.

At the same time, at the trebuchet position 500 meters away, the trebuchet and the trebuchet were operating at maximum power, and huge stones were thrown out and fell hard on the city wall. In the archery position outside, a famous archer raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and poured sharp arrows towards the defenders of the castle wall, suppressing the defenders of the city wall with arrow rain, so that they could not attack the siege. main attack.

The defenders who had already experienced it once were not completely suppressed by the boulders and the rain of arrows, but launched a powerful counterattack immediately. Huge crossbow bolts shot out from the bed crossbows and shot towards the thrown The stone machine formation and the arrow tower position tilted away, suppressing the rain of stones and arrows from the trebuchet position and the arrow tower position.

Immediately afterwards, the archers above the city wall stood on the edge of the city wall, playing with bows and archery, and poured sharp arrows at the main attacking force of the third regiment. The soldiers shot and wounded, while the spearmen on the city wall were scattered on the edge of the city wall, ready to push down the ladder on the city wall at any time.

Under the strong counterattack of the city wall defenders, the third wing suffered heavy losses, but none of them could climb the city wall.

As the main force of the siege, Zhao Hu lost more than 1000 soldiers under his command under the intensive arrow rain attack, and the soldiers of other squadrons lost even more. The cold light.

"Follow me!"

Seeing that the soldiers of the entire regiment were under the suppression of the city wall defenders, unable to ascend the city, and suffered heavy losses, Zhao Hu's eyes were full of roars, and with a loud cry, he grabbed a ladder from the soldiers beside him and let it go. Just above the shoulders, he took a step and quickly rushed towards the bottom of the city wall.

Zhao Hu's strength is very fast, and a ladder of five or six feet is nothing to him. In just over ten meters, Zhao Hu carried the ladder, and under the dense rain of arrows, he crossed a distance of tens of meters. Get closer to the bottom of the city wall.

As soon as he got close to the bottom of the city wall, Zhao Hu quickly leaned the five or six-foot-long ladder against the city wall. Along the ladder, before the defenders of the city wall could react, he climbed up the city wall and swung the extremely sharp Wushuang sword in his hand. Ruthlessly killed several spearmen who were close to him.

Zhao Hu successfully climbed the city wall, which greatly boosted the morale of his soldiers, and cheered excitedly. Dozens of his guards immediately ran to the bottom of the city wall, along the ladder, Quickly boarded the city wall, fought side by side with Zhao Hu, and together resisted the attack of the spearmen above the city wall.

The guards directly under Zhao Hu's command consisted of thirteen second-level fighters and fifty first-level fighters. They all had grudges in their bodies, and their fighting power was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Start to expand the territory outward, allowing more soldiers to climb the city wall.
