Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

"Master Lothar," Astana walked to Lothar and looked at his lord with inquiring eyes. After Lothar turned to look at him and nodded solemnly, he walked steadily. Before the battle.

It is about 8:30 in the morning on the 9th, and the morning sun has slowly risen. It is the time when the light is strongest in the morning. The temperature in the early autumn morning is also very suitable. It is the best for the troops attacking the east wall of the castle today. Time of day.

Astana, who had a staid personality and was born in the Fieldsway regular army, was the commander of the first round of offensive troops on the east side.

A battle like this that doesn't require much effort and is purely hard-boiled, commanded by the leader of Fieldsway's guards, still complements each other.

The Mettenheim Great Swordsman Miles, who also admired attacks, stood on Lothar's left hand with several of his partners. While serving as the guard, he provided Lothar with a level 5 tactic as a staff member in the siege war.

Zedu, who was wild in the past, was rarely standing on Lothar's right hand in a serious posture. With his tall and mighty figure and naked muscles, the members of the combat staff who were whispering in the front right of him were involuntarily cold all over his body when his eyes turned around. He kept scolding this horrible ‘barbarian’ in his heart, but he didn’t dare to raise his own thoughts.

As for Simule and others, they went to the west side of the castle to take charge of the feint task in that direction.

If by noon before noon, the attack on the east side still does not open the situation, then he will command the feint troops equipped with more top infantry to turn to the main offensive, and strive to completely tear the line of defense by relying on individual combat capabilities.

Of course, because Nuremberg is a roughly circular fortress, the east and west sides here are only general directions.

At about 8:40, the command flag of the front formation was violently waved, Lothar immediately returned Miles's eyes, and soon, the long and loud horn sounded from the formation to all directions.

"Woo..., woo..." At the same time as the horn sounded, the five infantry squadrons that had attacked in advance shouted "Haah" one after another, pushing the ladder slowly forward until it was 150 meters away from the city wall. It was only at the farthest range of the enemy's crossbow that was discovered yesterday that it stopped for a while.

During this period, other soldiers who were preparing for war also yelled in unison under the command of the attacking squadron. Thousands of people shouted in unison than the thunder that rang in their ears, with the long horn sound. Full.

Even without using single-scope telescopes and only relying on eagle-eye observations, Lothar could clearly see the city's worrying defenders because of the huge gap in military strength, and they became more and more panicked under this momentum.

Taking this opportunity, the front command flag was waved again, the sound of horns and shouts suddenly ceased, and the attacking troops under the command of Astana raised their shields and pushed the ladder to advance quickly.

Horns and shouts are tools used to show one's power and power, and then suppress the morale of the other party. However, after entering the battle, it will inevitably interfere with the command on the front line. After exerting pressure, the command should be decisively handed over to the generals in front.

However, the pressure of the sound ceased, and the pressure of the long-range attack fell on the defenders before the sound of the horn subsided.

The ballistas and catapults, which have cleared most of the city’s defense equipment, took the lead in attacking the enemy's arrow tower, which was basically destroyed and urgently repaired yesterday. Although the hit rate is quite touching, even if the heavy stone bullets only rub the outer wall of the arrow tower, they can take away large pieces of wood and stone. After a few rounds, they will collapse neatly and make the enemy archer in the arrow tower always hang one. Hearts.

However, Lothar's fantastic combination of siege equipment exposed another major problem with difficulty in transportation, which is the high rate of damage to parts that are as small as possible.

During the remote conversation yesterday, half of the equipment was damaged to varying degrees. After emergency repairs by the army craftsmen, 20% of the parts that could not be replaced were discarded.

Otherwise, the deterrent power of siege equipment will be stronger.

But this does not mean that life for the defenders will be better.

Unlike yesterday's dialogue between equipment, another group of troops joined the ranks of long-range strikes today.

The command flag waved for the second time in the front line was not only a signal to stop the sound of the horn, but also an "attack" command issued by Commander Astana to the crossbowmen.

Almost at the same time as the infantry pushed the ladder forward, there were sixty snow lion longbowmen lined up beyond the opponent’s range, and more than forty mercenary armored crossbows that advanced to within 120 meters of the shielded infantry. Hand, began to pour his firepower to Chengtou in turns.

This adds up to less than a hundred and twenty shooters ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which is all the precious long-range shooter troops in Lothar's hands.

After all, relying on the poor short bow in the hand of a propelling archer like Fieldsway's heavy archer, if you want to take on the heavy responsibility of long-range strikes in large-scale field battles, especially in such siege warfare, it is true. You can't make a difference.

So it's no wonder Lothar didn't pull them to shoot at the enemy when the opponent's defense equipment was in good condition yesterday.

In fact, there is no shortage of shooters in the Principality of Perth. After all, in this era of sea warfare, in addition to head-on springboard battles, it depends on the use of bows and crossbows.

When fighting at sea, two ships 50 meters apart are basically no distance. Therefore, bows and crossbows with a range of more than 100 meters are the entry barrier.

Even if the Nuremberg area is deep inland, it has little to do with sea warfare.

However, as the lords of the principality, the surrounding areas still undertake the task of providing troops for the navy, and there are not a few reserve strong bows and trained or retired archers.

As Lothar’s enemy, the Nuremberg garrison had more than three hundred shooters, and among the private soldiers of the nobles that Lothar “kidnapped”, two or three hundred shooters could be gathered.

But just like these soldiers did not trust Lothar, Lothar also lacked trust in these shooters, and simply sent them all to the west to attract the attention of the defenders together with the feint troops.

If you put these shooters here, if people are determined to fight back and point their bows at Lothar.

But it really depends on Zedu's body to help Lothar stop the damage.

Because Lothar himself was less than three hundred meters away from the outer wall of the fortress.

Basically, the longbowmen will shoot two rounds, enough time for the crossbowmen to shoot once.

Cooperating with each other, steadily suppressed the enemy shooter who was disturbed by the siege equipment against the backlight.
