Chapter 58 Siege War
"Is the war finally going to begin?" Enzo's eyes flashed, as steady as a rock.
"Clarence, pass the order." Tai Lun said solemnly, "Order the soldiers in the city to assemble, recall all the rangers patrolling outside, and defend the city gate with all your strength!"
"As you command, my lord." Clarence ordered, turned and left the room.
"Uncle Tyron, let's go take a look at the city wall." Enzo said, standing up, shaking himself, putting on the light armor hanging on the wall, and inserting the short black blade into his waist, and then made it easier for Tyron to Let's go to the city wall together.
The strong and towering city wall was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Countless soldiers ran back and forth, bringing things like kerosene and rolling stones. The archers were lined up in a row. More than ten heavy-duty crossbow vehicles had already been set up. The large crossbow arrows like spears were shining with a cold light.
In the distant wilderness, the Black Crow City army was approaching step by step.
The cavalry were walking in front on their horses, their messy iron hooves trampling the ground, making a slight trembling sound. The tough black-armored infantry followed closely behind, with an aura like dark clouds pressing down on the environment, forming square formations. Come slowly.
Between several square formations, a carriage moved forward slowly like stars over the moon.
The black body inlaid with gold is simple and luxurious, and the pure copper wheels are rolling smoothly on the ground. The eight tall horses pulling the carriage forward are all white without a single hair, and they seem to have noble bloodlines.
"The person in that carriage should be Philip!" Talon looked solemnly and raised his hand to point forward.
A hundred meters away from Kaiyuan City Gate, the black crow army suddenly stopped.
A black carriage pulled by eight white horses came to the front of the army. The door of the carriage was slowly pushed open. A calm and elegant man wearing white clothes slowly walked out. He raised his hand and held a cavalryman beside him. Called him and gave him a few words.
The cavalryman received the order, then picked up a flag with a picture of circling crows and rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall.
"People of Kaiyuan City, listen!" the flag-carrying cavalry pulled the reins and shouted loudly, "By the order of my lord Philip, Black Crow City requires you to surrender immediately and offer the head of the rebel O'Quinn, otherwise the Sky Knight His anger will surely burn down Kaiyuan City!"
"You want us to surrender? And also offer Brother O'Quinn's head?"
Tai Lun laughed angrily, snatched the horn bow from the archer beside him, and pulled the bowstring into a full moon with his strong arms.
Whoosh!
The long arrow shot out, and the crow flag held by the cavalry broke.
On the black carriage, Philip's face turned dark when he saw the flag symbolizing the family falling to the ground.
"Since you are looking for death, then don't blame me." Philip's face was cold, and then he waved his hand, and the army behind him continued to advance. The infantry in the military formation carried out the ladder and set it up on the city wall in a moment.
"Fire arrows!" When Tyron saw the Black Crow Army beginning to attack the city, he also ordered the archers to fight back.
The war has begun again in this desolate land.
The strength of the Black Crow Army was more than five times that of Kaiyuan City. Neither Enzo nor Tyron considered facing the enemy head-on.
Since Philip wants to get Kaiyuan City, the most appropriate way is to rely on city wall defense to consume the strength of the Black Crow Army.
The soldiers of Black Crow City wanted to climb the city wall along the ladder, but they were fired upon repeatedly by crossbowmen. Even the knights' body-protecting fighting spirit could not withstand the fine steel crossbow arrows fired by the more than ten heavy-duty ballistae.
"Siege vehicles, prepare!" In the Black Crow Army formation, a knight commander waved his flag.
The siege vehicle that had been prepared for a long time was pushed out. Dozens of burly soldiers braved the rain of arrows and worked together to push the siege vehicle towards the city gate. Then they pushed hard against the circular wood, making a dull sound.
"Throw stones!" Clarence shouted, directing the soldiers on the wall to throw stones down.
The hard and heavy rolling stone was pushed down the city wall, immediately killing several Black Crow soldiers who pushed against the wood. Seeing this, the commander of the Black Crow Army immediately sent several knights into battle to take their positions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The wooden logs hit the city gate, making a dull sound. Inside the city gate, countless Kaiyuan soldiers were running back and forth, moving rocks, trees and other things to block the city gate and block the siege engines. of impact.
The city gate could not be attacked for a long time, so the commander of the Black Crow Army sent more soldiers to climb the ladder. After paying the price of countless soldiers being shot through by random arrows and killed by rolling stones, a few cavalry finally stepped onto the city wall.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Tai Lun drew his sword and shouted loudly.
"Wind Slash!" Tyron looked sternly, swung his sword forward, and the sword energy instantly strangled several Black Crow soldiers.
The Black Crow soldiers who finally climbed onto the city wall were all killed by Tyran, but then, the Black Crow Army's offensive became more fierce. Many knights with fighting spirit entered the battlefield, trying to capture the Kaiyuan Tower.
The war became more intense, and the city walls were stained red with blood.
Soldiers from Black Crow City kept falling down the ladders, and mountains of corpses were already piled under the city wall. Behind the Black Crow Army formation, Philip stood on the carriage with his hands behind his back, looking at everything in front of him indifferently, as if he didn't care about the casualties of his soldiers.
"Lord City Lord, our casualties are quite heavy. Should we ask the soldiers to suspend the attack?"
Not far away, the commander of the Black Crow Army looked hesitant and couldn't help but say.
"No need, continue the attack!" Philip's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Order the soldiers to prepare heavy fire oil, let knight-level officers in the army carry it, and immediately carry out a charge to blow open Kaiyuan's city gate for me! "
"Fierce oil?" The commander's expression changed slightly and he hesitated, "The soldiers are attacking the city. If we use kerosene to burn the city gate at this time, I'm afraid we will also suffer heavy losses."
"Hmph, we haven't been able to capture Kaiyuan City for so long. Don't worry about the life and death of a bunch of losers." Philip snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "As long as Kaiyuan City can be captured, it doesn't matter no matter how many soldiers are lost. Anyway, this battle After the war, everything will start again on the ice sheet."
"As ordered, my lord." The commander sighed in his heart, but he had to carry out the order.
