Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 56 Battle of the City

The next day, when the sky was not yet full light, the originally peaceful enemy camp suddenly became noisy. The soldiers of the high mountain tribe were already fully dressed, holding their tomahawks and round shields, and getting ready.

The Terra soldiers on duty in the watchtower on the city wall noticed the enemy's movement and immediately blew their horns. After hearing the horn, Ronan and the others quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, walked up to the city wall, and stood in their defensive positions. .

Ronan and his subordinates are responsible for guarding the left side of the watchtower with the gate mechanism, and the elves under Dario and Inera are responsible for guarding the right side of the watchtower.

The enemy army began to move. The Gaoshan clan did not bring craftsmen with them this time, so they could not build siege ladders. The soldiers only dispatched half of them, and the other half were still participating in the siege on Taiwei II. Therefore, they could only carry the ladders against the defenders. The arrow rain charges.

Ronan picked up the longbow and stood on the edge of the crenel, nocked the arrow, then drew the longbow to the full, and shot it precisely at the helmet of a mountain man. A mountain man fell to the ground immediately.

With continuous firing of bows and arrows, Ronan could kill an enemy soldier with each arrow, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the number of enemy troops. The Gaoshan people quickly put the ladder on the city wall and began to climb up holding the round shield.

Ronan shot down a few arrows, but there was no angle, and they were all blocked by the shield. The arrows were nailed to the shield and failed to cause any damage to the enemy.

The soldiers of Terra used their spears to poke down the enemy soldiers who were about to climb up the city wall one by one, but a few soldiers still accurately blocked the attack with their shields and successfully climbed up the city wall. And once they climbed the city wall to open the situation, the defenders had no energy to stop the remaining enemy troops from climbing the city wall.

Fierce hand-to-hand combat began immediately. These Terran soldiers were indeed elite. They had rich combat experience. The city wall was only two meters wide, and there was very limited room for them to move. When they saw that they could not stop the enemy from ascending the city, they went in groups of two, one on the left. One right stands on either side of the ladder.

The enemy army will be attacked from two sides when he comes up, and when he wants to fight back, he will encounter shields erected on both sides. Only one person can go up the ladder at a time, and they will be attacked from both sides when they come up. to the next person to climb up.

As soon as an enemy soldier climbed up the city wall and raised his head to raise his weapon, Ronan seized the opportunity to hit him hard on the head with the hilt of his sword, and then pushed him down while he was dizzy. An unlucky guy who was about to climb up was also directly smashed down.

But there is always an accident in everything. A soldier who was stronger than other mountain people successfully blocked the left and right flanking attacks of the defenders after he climbed the city wall. He only suffered a slight injury to his arm. Go up the city wall.

The gap was opened, and the city wall suddenly became chaotic. Under their influence, enemy troops climbed onto the city wall one after another. The defense strategy of the defenders could not continue, and the next thing to fight was pure strength.

Several enemy soldiers who climbed up later glanced around, and then went straight to Ronan's direction. It seemed that they also knew that the key was the watchtower behind Ronan.

Asking his subordinates to continue defending the stairs, Ronan drew out his two-handed sword and went up to him. Limited by the width of the city wall, these enemy troops can only fight Ronan one by one. There are also reasons why Daario is confident to rely on these people to defend the attack of an enemy army ten times larger than himself. Under such circumstances, the enemy army The quantitative advantage has been effectively weakened.

Hold the tomahawk that was slashed at the head, and then push the opponent away with a strong push. Ronan swung his sword and slashed while he was standing unsteadily, but the opponent blocked it with a shield in a hurry, but under the force The already unstable figure even crooked and hit the city wall directly.

Ronan frowned. These barbarians are all wearing shields, and it's quite troublesome to deal with. Ronan grabbed the opponent and pushed him hard, hitting him against the city wall again, and then took advantage of him being a little confused. Holding his shield with one hand and the blade of the sword with the other, he pierced the sharp gauntlet directly into his neck.

Letting go of the limp corpse, Ronan snatched the shield and battle-axe from his hand. Ronan swung the battle-axe and slammed it on the shield raised by another soldier. The blade of the ax was deeply embedded in the wooden In the shield, Ronan kicked on the shield and used his strength to pull out the battle axe.

After pulling out his battle axe, Ronan swung his battle ax again and slashed down. The enemy soldier had no time to counterattack during Ronan's compact attack, so he could only raise his shield again to block the attack.

But this time Ronan slammed the tomahawk on the shield, and the wooden shield was overwhelmed and shattered. Then Ronan swung the shield with his left hand and hit him with the edge under the terrified eyes of the enemy. On the side of the helmet, he turned his head to one side and vomited blood. Ronan was so powerful that he hit him hard in the face with the shield again.

After several heavy blows, the mountain savage knelt down on the spot with his knees softened, his helmet was deformed by Ronan's beating, his eyes were dull and he fell slowly, Ronan swung his battle ax again and directly chopped off his head , and then kicked the headless corpse to the wall.

Ronan passed all the way, and in just a short while, no less than ten Gaoshan people died tragically. He once again slammed the enemy on the wall with a shield attack, and then swung his tomahawk to chop off his neck. The enemy finally began to retreat. up.

The remaining mountain people tried to climb down the city wall from the ladder, but they were pushed directly by the defenders as soon as they climbed the ladder, and they could only dance and decline in mid-air.

It's a pity that Ronan didn't see Tiberius in this battle, but he will not appear in the first siege battle as the leader, and if he goes into battle in person, it will really be a one-off attack. The city wall is determined, because the wall is easy to come up, but it is not easy to go down. Tiberius would not take such a risk.

Half a month passed in a flash, during which the Gaoshan people launched several attacks, but they all returned without success after dropping dozens of corpses, but Ronan's side also lost more than a dozen people, all soldiers of Terra. These alpine people may be brave and powerful on the frontal battlefield, but they are obviously not very good at siege, and they don't have good siege equipment. If they had a siege engine, the result might be different.

But Gino's main attention is all on the battlefield of Taiwei 2. They must capture Taiwei 2 as soon as possible, and then surround Taiwei 3 to cut off the connection between Taiwei 3 and Terra City, so that Terra can The city loses control of the port, so that there is a chance that the troops of Terra and the Hinterlands will not be able to turn around, and they will have a chance to defeat them one by one.

As for the situation here, Jino didn't take it seriously at all. Seeing that Tiberius had failed to end the battle for half a month, Jino directly sent someone to call Tiberius back, leaving only a team of 300 people Keep an eye on Ronan and the others to prevent them from escaping from the fortress.
