Glory Riding and Cutting

Under the iron hooves of the elf knights, these enemy troops disappeared without even stirring up a little splash. Ronan soon followed Serabbi back to the besieged camp.

The cavalry returned to the team, the remnants of the enemy army were cleared up, and the siege equipment was almost ready. The Terran army was about to start the first test of the siege.

Even if he desperately wanted to defeat the Volantis army, Ronan would not personally dispatch for the first siege. In fact, the vanguard of this siege was only the mercenaries.

There are a lot of commissions for war mercenaries, but they are also the most difficult money to earn among mercenaries. After all, that country does not hire them for old age. In order to reduce the loss of strength of their own country, these mercenaries must be the first to rush. .

This is the reason why war mercenaries are replaced very quickly. In this world, there are mercenary regiments that have survived for more than ten years but have not been disbanded and have considerable strength. You can count them on one hand.

Most of the war mercenaries died in the battle, and those who survived a few battles would usually retire after saving enough money. The rich commissions allowed them to quickly save enough to buy a piece of land in their hometown or in the With the money to open a small shop in a small town, most of the mercenaries who escaped death will choose to return to a stable life. Enjoy until you die in your next fight.

This time the siege only chose to siege from the place where there are city gates on both sides. Although it is not expected that the city wall can be captured and the city gate opened this time, the large troops are still ready. Ronan also put on his equipment and rode The war horse stood in the cavalry and waited. If the city gate was really opened, Ronan would follow the cavalry and charge in directly.

Mercenaries in all kinds of clothes rushed to the front carrying ladders, followed by a mixed siege team of Terra's elite troops and militias, and the Hinterland archers used arrow rain to cover the infantry's siege.

The catapult threw huge boulders on the city wall, but only a few of them caused casualties. A Volantis soldier who couldn't dodge was directly hit on the head by the shattered stone, and his head burst like a watermelon. Red and white were scattered all over the ground, and the helmet was completely unable to protect him under the extremely powerful impact stones, and was smashed into a discus.

The corpse fell limply to the bottom of the city wall, and soldiers beside them were shot down by arrows from time to time. The Volantenes completely lost to the Hinterlands in terms of bow and arrow shooting, even though they were covered by the city wall.

The ladder climbed up the city wall, and the siege ladder completed half of its journey. Soldiers held their shields and carried weapons on their backs to climb up against the arrows, stones and boiling oil dropped by the defenders. From time to time, the ladder was pushed down, but most of them Yunti still persisted.

The soldiers climbed to the end of the ladder, and just as they were about to step onto the battlements, they were attacked by the enemy with spears or wooden sticks. It is impossible to climb the city wall with only the ladder.

But it was different after the siege ladders arrived. Although the enemy destroyed some of the siege ladders with equipment such as trebuchets, many soldiers still rushed to the top of the city after the suspension bridges of the siege ladders were put on the battlements, representing Thailand. La's flag was fluttering over the city, but it was quickly cut down. The flag was raised and lowered, and the moods of Ronan and others also fluctuated accordingly.

The soldiers rushed into the watchtower, and the gate was slightly lifted. Ronan and the waiting cavalry clenched their lances, but soon relaxed, because the gate was raised and then fell down again.

An hour later, the retreat horn sounded, the soldiers withdrew from the top of the city, raised the ladder to withstand the enemy's arrow rain and ran back. The first tentative attack failed, and the two sides dropped hundreds of corpses. The Terra side had more casualties, and the siege must have had greater casualties than the defenders.

After all, the attacking party needs to climb the city wall, but the defenders don't need it. They just need to wait for work and knock down the enemy troops climbing the wall.

The Volantenes are very tenacious. They have a posture that I will defend this city to the death and force you to negotiate with me. Indeed, if it is really impossible to attack for a long time, Terra really can only negotiate. After all, Sint It is impossible for the Lan army to stay here forever, and the hired mercenaries will also cost a lot of money.

Terra's food reserves are running out, and it is impossible for the Seljuks to really attack the eredar, so the mission will be completed by pretending to help Terra. Once the Seljuks withdraw, the eredars may attack again at any time. Send troops to attack Terra, and the situation will be against Terra again.

Therefore, after several failed attacks, Marshal Hogule decided to break the boat. He decided to launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night tonight. A raid team of a hundred people entered the castle through a secret passage.

Try to see if you can form a pincer attack from inside and outside to open the city gate. Even if it doesn't work, you still have to involve the enemy. The raid team will launch a surprise attack when the siege outside is in full swing, and the contact will be completed by the Hinterland mages who joined them. As long as the distance is not more than five kilometers, the Hinterland mages can use spells and magical wonders to carry out some simple tasks. exchange.

Ronan volunteered to sign up for the raid team. After all, he was also in a hurry. If he couldn't attack, his mission would fail, and so many rich rewards would leave him, and Ronan would also lose his life in Terra. It's enough prestige to upgrade the system.

Unfortunately, his petition was ruthlessly rejected by Sirabi. The raid team was very dangerous. If they failed to attack the city outside, they would basically wipe out the entire army. They could already be called death squads.

Siraby knew that Queen Serena's daughter, the newly-appeared Princess Sibella, cared about Ronan very much, and Ronan also participated in the battle to support Terra in the name of the princess. He didn't want Ronan to die under his hands, otherwise After going back, it is very likely that she will be hated by the princess, and even punished by the queen.

So Ronan could only stay in the cavalry, prepare outside the city gate, and rush inside to slaughter wantonly when the city gate opened.

Time is ticking, the sun is setting, the moon is rising, and the sky is turning from bright to dark. Knowing that the world is dark and silent, and only a little bit of moonlight falls on the smooth armor, and there is a glimmer of light, the Terra army is dispatched.

No horns, no slogans, the army silently picked up the ladder and began to charge. When the guards on the tower noticed the situation, they hurriedly blew their horns. The soldiers in charge of the night grabbed their weapons and boarded the tower. The soldiers who were resting were also awakened.

Noisy footsteps and yelling kept ringing in the castle. A surprise team of 300 people was already in the room at the exit of the secret passage. More than 20 people were waiting in the room, including the mage who was holding They waited with something like a compass, while the rest of the soldiers stood silently in the secret passage. They were the elites carefully selected by Hogule, with the best martial arts and the most tenacious will.
