Rise In Calradia - Chapter 401

“Are we going outside to meet the enemy?”

“No, there’s no reason to give up our advantage and let the crossbowmen go to the wall!”

The king’s few understatements had set the course of the war for the next few days, and loyal warriors arrived at their posts under the orders of their sergeants and aimed their crossbows at the enemy across the river.

“Coward! Don’t you dare to fight us here with honor?” Kesto roared, of course, he is not a person who attaches great importance to honor, he said this simply to stimulate King Griffith to let him The army sent outside the fence to reduce its own disadvantage. But no matter how he shouted and humiliated, the soldiers of the other side were still indifferent. He reluctantly issued an order for the army to start storming the other side’s wall.

The trebuchets that had already been built were immediately hung with stone bullets. Amidst the roars of the sergeants, more than ten heavy stone bullets weighing over 50 pounds flew over the coalition camp and smashed into the kingdom’s army. Above the wall, the log wall was just a hasty defensive fortification. Under the bombardment of these huge stones, the entire log was directly smashed, smashing the soldiers who were too late to escape. The stones that had not lost their strength were also smashed into the soil, leaving a long trace. There was a stone, and it hit a spearman whose back was not clear to him. Under the heavy blow, the entire rib of this unfortunate person was broken, and the spine was directly twisted and deformed, pressing the internal organs in the abdominal cavity to rupture one by one. Come on, let him die in seconds.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and fight back!”

In the Royal Army’s camp, the armorers started to operate the equipment in a hurry amid the officers’ scolding. The larger catapults were loaded with heavier stones and then pulled and thrown out. The parts of these trebuchets had arrived here a few months ago. They were originally prepared to be used when Veluga needed to be recovered, but now they are used for defense, and the effect is very obvious.

One round of throwing ten large trebuchets caused a great deal of confusion among the attacking ranks. Every huge stone bullet that fell into the crowd would directly smash to death two or three coalition soldiers who didn’t have time to escape, and it was powerful enough to insert their heads directly into their chests and prop up all their ribs.

And most importantly, whether it was the armorer’s skill or luck, a stone bomb directly hit a catapult of the coalition forces, smashing a large hole in the wooden frame, causing the catapult’s forearm to be directly broken into two pieces. By the way, he smashed the four toes of an armorer, and his howl startled everyone around him.

Destroying an enemy trebuchet boosted morale on the Kingdom’s side, with soldiers cheering and raising their weapons, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

“Bowmen, support us!”

The infantry and some mercenaries of the coalition army advanced under the leadership of the noble lords and captains. They shouted loudly for the archers in the rear, then raised their shields and started to advance.

The coalition’s front was very close, and they carried a large number of long ladders and even battering rams, and attacked the wall that was not too strong. They knew the casualties would be high, but they had no choice. All the Counts to the sergeants in the coalition knew how many armorers and skilled workers, especially the craftsmanship of Jerkala, would bring King Griffiths with him when he went out in person. The level and construction level are among the best in the entire Calradia city. They only waited for a day yesterday, and the other party was only busy for an afternoon. Several, the walls were also reinforced to make them more difficult to breach. If they drag on for a few more days, or choose a more conservative tactic, this fence will become a city wall built with a large number of log structures, considering that the opponent has already put the big tree in their field of vision on the other side of the river for this battle. They have all been chopped down, and their city defense materials are quite sufficient.

As a result, several Rhodok infantry phalanxes composed of thousands of infantrymen began to advance slowly. They raised their shields to protect each other’s important parts. The entire army formation looked as difficult to conquer as iron barrels. But in this way, these slow infantry formations naturally become excellent targets for trebuchets.

Heavy stones shot from behind the wall and fell into the crowd just as the armorer thought. The shield and arm were completely unable to withstand such a terrifying impact. The fall of every stone would cause a little chaos in a certain square, leaving behind a few corpses, or a few were dragged out of the battle formation due to fractures and left the battlefield. of seriously injured.

But the coalition forces also seized this opportunity. When the other side’s trebuchets are aiming at their own infantry, they can constantly correct the coordinates of the other side, determine the position and strength, and finally pull the trebuchets to hit the other side’s trebuchets and Arrow Tower.

This time, it was the advantage of the coalition forces. Because they were busy crushing the phalanx of the coalition forces, the Royal Army was badly hit by these stones. Repair, those makeshift arrow towers were smashed one by one, and when the soldiers above screamed and fell, they didn’t even shoot their first arrows.

Then, considering the power of the opponent’s siege equipment, the two sides began to shoot each other again, and the main force of the battlefield-those large-scale troops had also entered the range of the bow and crossbow.

“Children of Jerkara, defend your king, defend the Rhodoks!”

The crossbowmen above the wall took the lead in attacking. Hundreds of crossbowmen and militia crossbowmen fired arrows in volley under the king’s order, and a large number of crossbow arrows fell like raindrops~www.mtlnovel.com~ on the shield A dull thumping sound is left behind. These bolts are powerful, but not enough to penetrate Rhodok’s broad shield and the large round shield of the northern mercenaries, and even if a small amount of bolts pass through the gap between the shields and hit the body of the soldier below, it will be because of The chain armor was blocked and the power was greatly reduced. After a round of volleys of crossbow arrows that seemed to be full of momentum, only less than ten people fell in the end, and the results of the battle were not very obvious.

The crossbowmen of the coalition army then launched a counterattack. They quickly poked their heads from between the shields and shot arrows, and then immediately ducked back. This kind of attack was unpredictable and relatively safe, but the price was the number of crossbowmen. The arrows of the coalition forces that do not have the upper hand are more sparse, although some veterans can hit the eyes of the crossbowmen who are aiming their arrows at the arrow tower, or shoot the heavy arrows directly through the cotton of the crossbowmen of the Kingdom Army. A, but after all, it did not cause much impact on the archers on the wall.

At this time, the counter-shooting did not have much effect, but as the distance between the two sides continued to approach, the accuracy of the bows on both sides became higher and higher, and the power continued to increase. Soon, some soldiers in heavy armor hung on their bodies. Many arrows that did not penetrate, and those soldiers whose armor was not thick enough, were directly replaced.
