Chapter 1299 Battle of the Northern Territory (5)

The ladder is not an ordinary wooden ladder, and it can be said that there is not much relationship between the two.

For example, in film and television dramas, the plot that the siege soldiers can climb up the city wall by leaning on a wooden ladder basically only exists in the fantasies of those screenwriters. The real situation is the siege party. The commander is not a pig, how can he let his soldiers die like this, what is the difference between queuing up the wooden ladder and queuing up to die.

The ladders used in the real siege are all heavyweight equipment. The ladder itself consumes a lot of wood and iron nails, and it is already very heavy. Coupled with the soldiers on the ladder, it is absolutely necessary. It's not something that the defenders can knock down if they want to.

In addition, the ladder allows soldiers to climb up through the internal stairs, and there are wooden boards on the outside to cover it. This can greatly protect the siege soldiers from arrows, falling rocks, and rolling stones before they climb the city wall. Oil damage.

In short, remember one truth, regardless of the attacking side or the defending side, we are all human beings, and we will cherish our lives if we are human beings. This is not like playing games and dying and restarting. It is impossible for those outrageous scenes to appear.

Aldridge promised Art that he must guard the city wall before he came back, and absolutely not let these O'Herley soldiers occupy the city wall.

However, the enemy's attack came so fast that people were overwhelmed. In the blink of an eye, three ladders approached the city wall, and the O'Here soldiers who were hiding in the ladders swarmed up and rushed to the wall to fight with the Nero soldiers.

Fortunately, the number of Nero soldiers on the city wall is already superior, and the heavy armor of the Nero soldiers has excellent defensive characteristics. It is difficult for the long swords of the Ohre soldiers to take advantage of it for a while. It continued on the city wall, and O'Here soldiers continued to climb up the city wall through ladders, and then threw themselves into this tragic battle.

Aldrich was still leading the fight, and seeing those ladders blooming on the city wall, he felt deeply powerless.

Those ladders are the pipes that transport the O'Here soldiers to the city wall. If they are placed on the city wall, the O'Here soldiers will rush up continuously. It's not that Aldridge doesn't solve those ladders, There is no way around it.

The most effective way to destroy the ladder is fire. However, in this kind of extremely cold weather with wind and snow, it is a big problem to ignite the rocket, let alone use the rocket to ignite the ladder, so the only effective way The way is to fight head-to-head with those Ohrei soldiers to the end.

When Aldrich led his troops to resist the enemies who climbed the wall, Art rushed to the gate of the city with some soldiers.

"boom--"

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, I heard a trembling muffled sound from the heavy gate.

Half of the wooden pegs on the city gate fell off due to the shock, and the other half hung obliquely on the gate.

Art's heart trembled suddenly, as if he had been hit by the battering ram. Thanks to the hammer just now, the city gate was not smashed open, otherwise things would have been bad.

"Quick, go up!"

Art didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately led the soldiers up.

It is still acceptable to put the ladder on the city wall, because after all, there are not many soldiers climbing up from the ladder, at most ten or so at a time, which is relatively easy for the defenders on the city wall.But the city gate is different. Once the city gate is knocked open, those O'Here soldiers will swarm in. At that time, the Nero soldiers can only be forced to fight them head-on.

If there are more soldiers and enough food in the northern fortress, then this is not something to worry about at all. The problem is that the total strength of the northern fortress is now [-], and one loss is one less. Art, as the commander, naturally does not want to see this If the scenario happens, the best situation is to keep the O'Herei soldiers out of the door, and use the advantage of the city wall to fight more with less, and use high to fight low, so as to achieve a better casualty ratio as much as possible.

Under the leadership of Art, Nero's soldiers rushed to the back of the city gate without hesitation. Some people might feel scared, but no one flinched. Those soldiers tried their best to stand behind the city gate one by one, using their bodies to resist the enemy offensive.

"boom--"

Not long after, there was another dull crash.

Those Nero warriors who arrived behind the city gate were all blown away by the huge shock.

Art, who was at the front, was so shocked that his chest trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The soldiers were lying on their backs in the corridor of the city gate. Although everyone used their bodies to resist this time, if it happened again, even their bodies made of iron would not be able to bear it.

Art wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the pain in his chest, and gritted his teeth to cheer up the soldiers, "Brothers, let's do it again, and we can't let them break through the city gate no matter what!"

Although the soldiers were dizzy from the shock, they did not feel timid because of it. They stood up crookedly, and together with Art, stood against the city gate again.

When Art led the soldiers to block the door, Cynthia and Aya watched the scene with their own eyes.

Cynthia's eyes were red, tears were rolling, she hated herself for not being able to do anything for her second brother at this time, a tear slipped from her eye socket, but just as it flowed to her cheek, the tear turned into ice crystals.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Cynthia's mind, and she thought of an excellent solution. She shouted at Art: "Second brother, use water, use water!"

Art was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized what Cynthia said.

The two brothers and sisters have an excellent tacit understanding. When Cynthia mentioned water, Art immediately thought of a way to use water to freeze the city gate.

In this extremely cold climate, the water would quickly freeze into ice. As long as water was continuously poured on the city gate, a layer of ice would immediately form on the city gate.

"I have to bring people to block the city gate, so hurry up and bring people to fetch water!"

Art didn't dare to leave the city gate easily, he had to lead the soldiers to stay here all the time, and at this time the task of fetching water could only be handed over to Cynthia.

Hearing Art's order, Cynthia showed a relieved smile, finally able to help her brother, and she felt much better in her heart.

The enemy's next attack could come at any time, and Cynthia didn't dare to delay, "Aya, let's take everyone to fetch water."

"Ok!"

Aya was Cynthia's personal maid, she nodded vigorously, and followed immediately.

About a minute later, Art was still leading the soldiers to guard the city gate, when he heard Cynthia's urgent shout from behind, "Second brother, the water is coming!"

Art and all the soldiers looked back, Cynthia and Aya rushed towards the city gate carrying a bucket of water together, and behind them were the soldiers carrying two buckets of water each.

Seeing that even the princess was personally involved in this battle, the soldiers guarding the city were all very excited.

Art even yelled at everyone: "Brothers, we must not disappoint the princess's heart."
