Pendor Empire In Other Worlds
Vol 3 Chapter 38: Wave Attack Two
After the cloud ladder set up the city head, the panicked garrison soldiers, under the suppression of their bows and crossbows, only caused some minor disturbance to the attacking infantry, and they had to face the reality that the enemy troops were on the city head.
When the strange cry of "Woo..." came out of the soldiers on the journey, the roar on the city's head became more and more messy, and the sound of "ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-dang-dong" weapon strikes instantly overwhelmed the arrows. The sound of "Duo Duo" falling down.
I don't know when, the uniform cheering under the city also rang again, as if telling the soldiers who were on the way to rely on behind them.
Close-handed hand-to-hand combat has always been one of the fighting methods that puts great pressure on both sides, not to mention siege melee.
Compared with the mentality of defending against long-range attacks, it is useless to worry about not being able to prevent it. In the face of close combat with more variable attack paths and shorter reaction times, it is necessary for soldiers in combat to respond cautiously with their hearts at all times, and to attack with courage and decisiveness.
What's more, I have to face the blood and residual limbs passing by, and the strong smell of human blood that rushes into the nostrils that is obviously different from the smell of livestock.
(Or complicated odors such as gastric juice, brain plasma, excrement and urine?)
The weird feeling of crushing the human body with the soles of the feet alone when the body of the enemy's first dead soldier climbed onto the city wall was enough to make the hands and feet of the trained soldiers weaken.
After two or three minutes of the battle, many recruits on both sides could not stand this scene and vomited on the spot.
Even the elite system soldiers who are extremely loyal to Lothar will not be completely unaffected in such a battle.
Therefore, he used the laughter to raise the courage to eliminate those unfavorable interference factors, and give the enemy a fierce impression to further attack the morale of the enemy, but it is an essential combat skill for every melee infantry. Under the leadership of their respective officers, the private soldiers of the lords who were on the battlefield for the first time can also wield their weapons by shouting.
The shouts and cheers under the city not only gave the siege troops the upper limit of courage, but also greatly reduced the speed at which their morale fell.
Just when Lothar, who was observing under the city, was secretly annoyed that he had forgotten the drum, this kind of boosting ‘big killer’.
The attacking troops on the city slowly opened the offensive bridgehead with a loud cry of exhaustion. More and more soldiers jumped onto the city wall through the long ladder, and joined the hand-to-hand battle between you and me.
"Can't hold it, really can't hold it."
This is the common idea of the front row defenders fighting the siege troops.
The style of martial arts in the Principality of Perth is not only spread among the nobles, but there is still no shortage of warriors full of blood and courage among ordinary soldiers.
However, when these were filled with anger because they were suppressed by the enemy's long-range attack, they were ready to have a good match with the enemy infantry.
only discovered that not only the hard power is inferior to others, but the enemy's combat methods have been completely defeated.
There is no shield with a high resistance index, such as the ancient inscription shield, and it is really tormenting to deal with the attack methods of the Fieldsway soldiers.
Perhaps in the field, the Fieldsway infantry will be turned into rabbits by the array of heavy halberd guards or legionary gunmen after the first round of superiority.
However, in the battle against the city, enemies with two-handed or long-armed weapons can only be beaten on the ground with a spear and axe. It is also difficult to prevent the enemy's attack by relying solely on shielded infantry.
Even if there are occasional strong soldiers who can withstand the pull back of the battle axe, the shields in their hands will be chopped into irregular wooden blocks when the axe head is down three or four times.
To break free from this predicament, there are only two ways to attack with Fieldsway soldiers or retreat.
But on the offensive, there is bound to be room for attack.
and back...
I have to say that, apart from some shortcomings that are easy to learn and difficult to master, and the one-handed axe has a small attack surface, the shield axe infantry is really too advantageous in close combat.
With heavy archers and warriors in the front line, the private soldiers of the lord who joined the battle circle can also attack under less pressure, forcing the defenders to retreat step by step.
can be when they focus on resisting the infantry on the way, exposing their bodies out of the crenellation. Ranged troops that switch to precision attack mode will use arrows to remind them that they are in a dilemma.
Within five minutes of boarding, the number of casualties of the defenders has exceeded the fifty-man mark.
At this very good juncture, there was a burst of "Woo...Woo..., Woo...Woo...", two short and one long horns spread from the bottom of the city to the top of the city.
This is the retreat signal issued by Astana commanding the horn soldiers.
"Hurry down, jump straight down..."
After hearing this voice, the Fieldsway warrior who was overseeing the battle behind the lord's private soldiers immediately gave the command to "retire" to the soldiers fighting in front, and then guarded both sides of the ladder and commanded the bewildered private soldiers to leave the city wall.
For reasons of production time and actual combat needs, the ladder on Lothar’s siege is not made of solid wood plates like in the game. The long ladder at the top is just a thick long ladder.
At the same time, in order to make it easier to step on and bear the weight of multiple soldiers, the long ladder is not flat on the city, but forms an angle of more than 60 degrees with the horizontal plane.
It’s natural not to jump directly from the eight-meter-high city wall, but it’s easy to jump to the middle platform four meters above the ground with the help of a ladder.
Therefore, in less than a minute, the soldiers on the journey fought and retreated from the city wall, leaving only the last few Fieldsway warriors to guard the gap.
Wait until the defending infantry who is about to retreat is found shouting "The enemy has retreated", "Grab these guys" and want to leave the broken soldiers.
The long-range troops that had been preparing for a long time used a burst of rapid fire to cover them from slipping down the city wall.
After merging the soldiers guarding the ladder, the five siege squadrons withdrew from the enemy's attack range at a speed much faster than when they came.
Ten minutes later, another group of infantry squadrons, under the cover of the long-range troops who were taking a break, carried a long ladder and quickly passed through the enemy's defense area. After replacing the second long ladder that was badly damaged by the enemy, they started to move towards the city again. Shock.
Then he fought fiercely on the head of the city for seven or eight minutes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was called out by the retreat horn again.
After a break, another group of troops attacked.
Lothar held an affirmative and supportive attitude towards Astana’s retreat at critical moments.
Because of this, it was originally the normal way of conducting siege wars.
Fight with husband, courage too.
Don't look at the two previous siege forces that have opened up the situation at the head of the city, but it only relied on the soldiers' burst to establish a line of less than ten meters.
Continue to fight, and wait until the defenders use their superior force to launch an uninterrupted siege of the troops at the head of the city, the two sides will have to enter a stage of reckless wear and tear.
It is obvious whether the defenders with their backs leaning on the city wall will be discouraged first, or the isolated and helpless siege troops leaning on the high cliffs will be exhausted first.
As for the method of sending all the troops to crush the enemy, Lothar said that he did not have that many troops to allow him to do so.
Even in the first two attacks, many soldiers were stuck under the ladder and could not get up. Sending more troops up was only exposed to the enemy’s inability to advance or retreat. Even if they boarded the city wall, they were only attacked by the enemy. That's it.
Even if he finally won the castle, Lothar wouldn't want to do anything else.
It’s better to take it as soon as you see it. After all, one piece of it is the most grind.
