King’s Kingdom

"The King's Kingdom (

After lunch and dinner, the monsters did not attack, and the day was peaceful.

And Theodosius had already told the soldiers before that the monsters would prefer to attack the city at night, so if possible during the day, try to take every opportunity to sleep and rest, and avoid dying at night due to sleepiness. in the hands of monsters.

At the end of the day, the soldiers take turns to rest, and their sleep quality seems to be quite good. It doesn't require too much brewing at all, and they can fall asleep in just a few minutes. This kind of ability makes Theodosius. full of envy.

Until the evening, the soldiers took turns to rest, and they were full of energy for a while. They were no longer the same as they were during the day. In order to help sleep, they only wore a single layer of armor, but the outer armor was also used. All dressed neatly.

Because night is the time when monsters are most active, if they want to attack the city, it is most likely at night, so everyone must be alert and vigilant.

The wall of Ikopixi is already a brightly lit scene. A large number of torches and braziers are burning with flames, and the light emitted by the city wall is as bright as day. As long as there are monsters appearing or approaching, it is impossible to escape the elves. Scouts sharp eyes.

The warriors are all sitting behind the battlements, some with long swords, some with spears, and they are all ready to fight at any time, not the slightly lazy appearance during the day.

The archers on the arrow tower have also already wound their bows, and the arrows have been placed one by one in front of them where they can be easily picked up. The trebuchet was also charged in advance, and stones were placed on it.

Next to Theodosius was his five-meter-long lance and great sword. Even if they were not used, they could play a symbolic role.

"Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, go back to rest!" Theodosius said to Critidos who was beside him. In all fairness, he was indeed a person who would be distressed, as he thought.

"It's not sleepy, I want to stay here, don't keep thinking about rushing me back!" Kritidos stopped pretending, and frowned and looked at Theodosius and said.

"Okay, you also remember your promise!" Theodosius said angrily.

Staring at the torch in front of him, the burning flame exudes bursts of warmth, and the galloping flames seem to be full of vitality, reflecting in his pupils.

"Everyone be alert!" The elf scout above the arrow tower suddenly shouted, and then continued to look into the distance.

All the soldiers stood up from the ground, checked their equipment, and then leaned on the battlements.

About three minutes passed, and I heard a sharp sound echoing on the city wall. It was an arrow shot by an elf ranger. After the sound spread, I heard the sound of arrows coming from other directions one after another, and the alert level of the entire city wall was raised again. up a step.

The Varangian guards under the city wall came up with two-handed swords or hammer shields, and they were the fire fighting teams on the city wall.

The sound of the arrow rang out, indicating that the enemy had reached a distance of 500 meters from the city wall.

Theodosius had already made a decision with them before. The enemy was one thousand meters away from the city wall, and he gave a verbal warning. When the enemy was five hundred meters away from the city wall, he shot a loud arrow to warn the whole city.

It can be said that the purpose is not clear at a distance of 1,000 meters, but if it is close to 500 meters, there is no need to say more. The purpose is very clear, and there can be no other goals other than siege.

"Giant crossbow! Launch!" Theodosius shouted. In fact, needless to say, the soldiers in all parts of the city wall knew their responsibilities, and they knew the range of their weapons. Under the command, the generals of the military district can also perform their duties well, and even if Theodosius is not used, they can stick to the city walls.

What's more, it is difficult for him to command other parts of the defenders alone. The total length of the city wall reaches 18 kilometers. If his orders are to be conveyed to every location, the messenger must travel at least 9 kilometers.

Even if the elf rangers serving as heralds were quick and agile, it would take six or seven minutes for a distance of nine kilometers. The daylily would have been cold for such a long time, so each commander could only command his own troops.

As before, the loud noise caused by the catapult was incessant. The archers also started shooting after a minute or two. The warriors in charge of hand-to-hand combat on the city wall were armed with swords, shields and spears, carefully observing the enemy's movements. As soon as they got under the city wall, they would greet them with the boulders stacked on the inside of the city wall.

Theodosius stuck his head out of the gap in the battlements to observe the enemy, his expression was a little dignified, because he found that the scale of this attack far exceeded all previous attacks, only the siege on the first day could slightly comparable to it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Moreover, the formation of the siege this time is quite washable compared to that time, and it is obvious that a lesson has been learned.

In the past, the catapult could kill three or five monsters each time it attacked, but now only two or three inferior monsters can be killed with good luck, and only one with bad luck.

The trebuchet and the giant crossbow each fired a round, but the total casualties were less than five hundred.

But when the enemy army approached the position 400 meters away from the city wall and the archers started shooting, the situation still did not improve. The hit rate dropped from about 60% to about 40%.

In total, 4,000 archers were distributed on each arrow tower, but one round of shooting only caused more than 1,500 monsters to fall to the ground casualties.

It is obviously impossible to kill more than 12,000 monsters with four rounds of shooting like before.

Moreover, while these monsters are sparsely formed, it is obvious that they carry a lot of long ladders. The number of long ladders that Theodosius has seen has reached more than 100. If you calculate the other sections according to this ratio The city wall, this time the monsters in the siege put at least 500 long ladders.

And this is a bit abnormal. In order to defend the city, the trees within 20 kilometers around Ikopixi have long been swept away and processed into rolling stones. These monsters want to collect so many long trees. The ladder must be cut down in the woods twenty kilometers away.

"It seems that the monsters have been cruel this time!" Theodosius waved to several heralds and said, "I immediately convey it to the generals of the military districts, the dwarves, and tell them that they must not relax a little, this is A general attack by the enemy army! The enemy is already determined to win this city!"
