Chapter 1297 Battle of the Northern Territory (3)

On the city wall, Art was still commanding the soldiers to repel the barbarians who wanted to climb the city wall.

Braving the random arrows shot from the top of the city, these savages threw the hooks and locks they carried with them towards the city wall, and once they were hooked, they began to climb up with the chains.

There is a downward force on the chain, and it is not easy to lift it off the wall.At this time, the defenders on the city wall could only use the scimitar in their hands to cut off the chains, but these chains were made of pig iron, so it was not so easy to cut them off.

While the Nero soldiers were shooting arrows down and cutting off the chains with their knives, the barbarians were also launching a counterattack against the city wall. They used their own bows, arrows, throwing knives, and slingshots to deal with the Nero soldiers, although such attacks were ineffective. Very little, most of the time it can't break the heavy armor of Nero soldiers at all, but occasionally it works.

Some unlucky soldiers will be hooked by the chains thrown up from below. In this case, they usually have no time to react and are dragged down directly.

At a height of about 20 meters, he was still wearing heavy armor, and if he fell, he would basically be broken into a piece of meatloaf.

The barbarians at the forefront are dying at an exaggerated rate, and if this continues, these barbarians won't last long.

At the same time, behind these barbarians, ten phalanxes of the Ohrei Legion came.

These soldiers walked in a uniform step, and everyone's eyes were full of determination. These people were not like soldiers, but more like a group of war machines.

The phalanxes in front quickly crossed the frozen river. At this time, they suddenly stopped advancing, but began to move to the two sides, giving way to a path in the middle, and the two attackers at the back The city equipment phalanx immediately followed, from falling at the end at the beginning to being at the front.

Witnessing the orderly transformation of the ten phalanx just now, the Nero soldiers on the city wall were all shocked. As for the organization and discipline shown by the Ohre Legion just now, even these Nero soldiers thought they were inferior .

Art is even more admirable for such an opponent. As a commander, he understands that for a legion, discipline is the combat effectiveness. fighting power.

After the change of formation, the two phalanxes of siege equipment stood in front and continued to move towards the city wall.

Seeing that they were about to reach the narrowest intersection, there were commanders in the two phalanxes of siege equipment giving orders.At the order of the commander-in-chief, the soldiers in the phalanx raised their heavy long shields together, forming a "battle shell" that could not be blown by wind or rain.

It seems that the commander of this siege army doesn't really understand anything, at least he knows that when he passes through this narrow intersection, he will be hit hard by Nero's side.

Just as these Ohrei soldiers raised their shields, the stones thrown from the city wall just happened to hit them.

Huge boulders flew over from behind the city wall with a whistling sound. Just seeing such a sight would make people instinctively frightened, but these Ohrei soldiers had no fear at all, and they still pushed forward with their shields held high.

"Bam—"

The falling rocks hit the shields of these soldiers, and the huge impact directly smashed the shields, and the heads of the soldiers under the shields were smashed into their necks. However, even so, no one turned around and ran away. Soldiers make up.

The stones thrown by the trebuchet fell like raindrops, and the first phalanx that hit the front was severely hit by heavy firepower. At present, the siege equipment has not completely passed the intersection, and almost half of the soldiers have been damaged.

"Someone escaped!"

On the city wall, Aldrich finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because just now he saw that the first phalanx in the row had soldiers who couldn't stand it and finally started to escape.

Some people fled, which meant that morale was beginning to loosen, and it also showed that these Ohrei soldiers were still ordinary people after all. There are no people in this world who are really not afraid of death.

However, what Aldridge didn't expect was that those soldiers who abandoned their shields and fled were cut down by the soldiers in the last row of the phalanx before taking a few steps.

Shocked, Aldrich took a closer look, only to discover that among the ten square formations, the last row of each square formation is dedicated to warlords, whose purpose is to supervise those who escaped during the battle. Soldiers, any soldiers who escaped on the battlefield will be punished by this row of knives and axes.

Seeing such an opponent, even a general like Aldridge couldn't help sighing. No wonder the army of the United Kingdom of O'Here can march in three directions at the same time. The combat effectiveness of this kind of army is really terrible .

Fortunately, this battle was unfair from the very beginning, both in terms of timing and location, it was of great help to Nile's side.

If the two sides set up a battle to the death on the plain, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

It is a pity that this is not the case. The real situation is that Nero is the defending side, and O'Herley is the attacking side. The casualties of the attacking side are far greater than those of the defending side. You will have to pay a steeper price.

Seeing that the first phalanx of the O'Here Army was about to be broken up, Art continued to command the soldiers to attack with firepower.

"Aim at those siege machines, absolutely don't let them pass through the narrow opening!"

Art roared with all his strength, he understood that those siege machines posed a great threat to the city wall.

Wave after wave of boulders and crossbow arrows flying out from the city wall, they all smashed towards the slit. The small area at the slit became the worst place in the entire battlefield. After half an hour, the Ohre people still Instead of passing through the narrow opening, the soldiers in the first phalanx were almost wiped out.

No matter how fierce the firepower in front was, the soldiers of the O'Here Legion still pushed forward with all their might. When the first phalanx was exhausted, the rear phalanx pushed forward. The gunfire kept moving forward.

Finally, after paying a terrible price in casualties, the first batch of siege equipment of the Ohrei Legion passed through the narrow opening and entered the range that the Nile catapults could not attack.

The soldiers of O'Here immediately rushed forward with the siege equipment, and they were less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.

At this time, the Nero soldiers on the city wall began to lose their positions. They didn't know what target they should control the bed crossbow to aim at first, whether it was the second phalanx passing through the narrow opening, or the first phalanx outside the city wall. .

Seeing that his side was in disarray, Art shouted with his torn voice: "Zhikou, all the firepower continues to suppress Zikou!"
