Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Although the two fighters lost, as the defenders, their morale was affected to a certain extent.

However, Shi Lei's mentality was still very stable. He used the city defense crossbow to destroy the opposing siege ram and two siege towers, thus regaining the city and restoring morale.

At this moment, Shi Lei had already made the arrangements for the other party very clear in his mind.

This siege equipment has always been used in conjunction. Siege towers, ladders, and siege rams can launch multi-point attacks at the same time, stretching internal forces and leaving the defenders overwhelmed, so that they can open gaps and create opportunities.

But now, the siege ram has been blown up, and two siege towers have been knocked down, which is equivalent to directly breaking off one of its arms, which is enough to greatly reduce the intensity of the entire siege on the opposite side.

On the top of the wall, looking at the direction of the siege tower on the opposite side, Shi Lei directly called for the new soldiers to form a spear formation and attack.

Veterans on both sides will be arranged to check for leaks and fill in the gaps to ensure that even if there is an unexpected situation, they can be responded to in a timely manner.

Both hands tightly clenched the spears in their hands, and the tensed faces of the recruits showed full nervousness. I don't know when their minds started to go blank.

Until that roar exploded in their ears.

"prick!!"

At that moment, it was a completely instinctive reaction. The recruits thrust out the spears in their hands while shouting in unison.

The sharp spearhead pierced the enemy's body, and the special touch that returned along the handle made their scalps numb.

Fortunately, the battlefield in front of them gave them no time to think too much.

With faces that were either pale or livid, the simplest movements between stabbing and retracting the spear in his hand showed fatal effects.

Facing the spear array that filled every inch of space in front of them, the Liang Army soldiers who tried to invade the top of the Anling City wall along the siege tower had nowhere to escape. One after another, they were stabbed to the ground by the spearmen, and even fell to the ground. ground.

The battle continued, and the walls of Anling City were basically guarded airtight under Shi Lei's command.

The recruits, who were nervous and anxious at first, gradually improved after a period of adaptation, which is a good sign.

At the same time, in the rear position of Liang Jun, the coach of Liang Jun had learned the latest situation from the messengers.

Of course, this also includes the fact that their battering ram and two siege towers were blown up by the 'iron guns' from the opposite side.

"Iron gun? How is this possible?!"

Commander Liang Jun still clearly remembers the situation at that time. Their siege troops were still advancing, and the people on the other side guarding the city did not take the initiative to attack. The two armies had not yet formally clashed. Where could the iron guns come from to attack their siege forces? Hammer and siege tower? !

In this regard, the messenger hurriedly explained.

"It's not an ordinary iron gun. The opponent's iron gun shoots down directly from the wall at an astonishing speed. The power can easily penetrate the iron covering the siege tower!"

Coach Liang Jun's expression changed instantly when he heard this.

Although he had never seen this method before, as an experienced commander on the battlefield, he could realize how much of a threat that weapon posed to them just by listening to the messengers.

As his thoughts whirled, he hurriedly asked for more details.

After some questioning, coach Liang Jun's face became so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

[According to the power of the weapon and the efficiency of the attack, how could the two siege towers be left? 】

【damn it! Is it the guy on the opposite side who deliberately left two siege towers in order for us to launch an offensive so that he could take advantage of the city's defense and reduce our strength? ! 】

After all, he is a person who can be the head coach, and he is still somewhat capable. Based on the intelligence, coach Liang Jun quickly came to a conclusion, which made his face instantly become extremely ugly.

But so far, these are just speculations and analyzes made by himself.

Their fighting generals defeated the opposing generals, boosted their morale, and made a good start for this siege. Coach Liang Jun obviously did not want to give up this advantage easily.

However, as the battle lasted longer, the number of casualties on their side was increasing, while the city on the opposite side could not be attacked for a long time. This made Commander Liang Jun realize that the strength of the garrison on the opposite side might have exceeded their initial expectations.

[If we can’t continue like this, we have to change our strategy. 】

The thought flashed across his mind, and even though Liang Jun's commander was unwilling to do so, he could only withdraw his troops temporarily and fight another day.

Shi Lei did not command the troops to go out of the city to pursue.

At this moment, Liang Jun's troops are still very strong. Now that they are out of the city to pursue, if the other side counterattacks, they will pay a heavy price. There is really no need to take this risk.

Looking at the retreating Liang Jun troops standing on top of the wall, Shi Lei looked thoughtful in his eyes.

The situation at that time was actually that Liang Jun still had a chance to fight, but he chose to retreat.

Did he see through his intentions, or was the opponent planning to change his tactics?

Shi Lei couldn't come up with a result for the time being.

As the defender, what they have to do now is to wait and see what happens, and remain unchanged in response to any changes.

After getting off the city wall and making simple arrangements for the post-war work, Shi Lei called a military doctor and found Li Tie as quickly as possible.

"What's going on now?"

Li Tie was his old subordinate. When he saw that Li Tie had not returned to the wall to join the battle, combined with his previous findings, he was sure that Li Tie must be seriously injured.

Now that he found the person, Shi Lei was shocked when he saw Li Tie's arms.

Li Tie laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I feel half disabled. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in a short time."

At this moment, his arms were even more swollen than at the beginning.

When Shi Lei saw this, he quickly asked the accompanying military doctor to treat him.

"You can stay here to recuperate with peace of mind during this period. You don't have to worry about the city defense. Our garrison troops in the city are there, and the few troops on the opposite side can't do anything to us."

Shi Lei's words were calm and calm, which made Li Tie feel at ease, but after the defeat, the shame in his heart was difficult to eliminate.

Seeing Li Tie's thoughts, Shi Lei spoke again...

"His Majesty once told me that victory and defeat are common matters in the military. If you want to win, you must be able to accept defeat. It is normal for people to win and lose in life. After a failure, you should review yourself, but you should not be resentful. , I can’t get through it.”

After saying these words, Shi Lei turned around and left.

He knew Li Tie, and if he stayed there to comfort him, it would make the other party even more embarrassed.

After saying what needs to be said, it would be better for Li Tie to calm down and adjust his mentality.

This is indeed the case. After Shi Lei and the military doctor left one after another, Li Tie, who was left alone, slowly calmed down and began to reflect on himself...
