Chapter 651 Menacing Attack

thump! thump! thump!

Accompanied by the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps, under the cover of rows of strong heavy infantry holding giant shields at the front.

The long-distance phalanx composed of densely packed longbowmen has already begun to draw their bows and arrows, pointing the arrows straight into the air, making a throwing posture.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows were ready to be fired under each city wall, and each sharp arrow shone with a cold light under the bright sun.

Woo...

A dull horn full of murderous intent sounded, and the attack began.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The piercing sound of feather arrows piercing the air one after another.

Almost at the same time, all directions of Kongqing Town were covered by arrow feathers galloping across the sky.

These nearly 2,000 feathered arrows may not be considered a huge thing for a giant like the Mountain Fortress, but they are enough to pose a huge threat to a small city like Kongqing Town... It was originally like this.

However, due to Lei Xiao's advance arrangements, the ordinary infantry with weaker defenses had already hidden in the safe area under the city wall.

But now, distributed on each city wall are several ordinary heavy infantry squadrons that have already taken precautions.

The heavy second-tier heavy armor and second-tier giant shield are enough to withstand most of the arrows, so that only a few soldiers who were hit by several arrows at the same time were knocked down under the powerful impact force. On the ground, struggling to get up.

Since the first wave of feather arrows shot by the opponent was blessed by wind magicians who are proficient in auxiliary magic, compared with ordinary arrows, their range and power have increased.

Therefore, although our archers hidden in many archery towers counterattacked immediately, they were quickly suppressed by the opponent's second wave of arrow feathers due to the limited shooting openings and the lack of other long-range forces on the surface of the city wall. down.

Under the city wall, these enemy archers hidden behind the heavy infantry switched from the initial volley to continuous alternate throwing, leaving almost no chance for the soldiers on our city wall to breathe.

"My lord, the opponent's army is well-organized and well-trained. Although it can't compete with the army directly under the royal family, it can be regarded as an outstanding existence in the ranks of ordinary garrison troops."

In an archery tower on the city wall, Burt's sharp old eyes stared at the battle situation below the city, and said.

"It's true. With the same equipment, except for the veterans of Kongqing Town, those recruits who have not been recruited for a long time are definitely not the opponents of these guys."

Looking at the arrow feathers falling one after another from the sky, the Guanzhong who had just returned from the deployment swallowed involuntarily.

If it was placed in Kongqing Town before the lord's arrival, facing such an opponent, I am afraid that it would not take half a day before the place would completely change hands.

"And judging from the greedy expressions of these soldiers full of murderous intent, once the city is broken, I'm afraid it will definitely cause a **** storm in the whole city."

On the orange-white face, there was a stern expression, and the black eyebrows were tightly frowned.

"It seems that my spending money in Kongqing Town has already been coveted by these guys."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly, also staring at the battle situation below the city.

During this period of time, whether it is the infrastructure construction, city defense construction of Kongqing Town, or a series of measures to benefit the people, I have tried my best to avoid being too ostentatious, and try my best to minimize the money-making ability, but even so, it is still early It has already become famous.

"If you are too talented and rich, you will be envied by others."

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then said to the commander of the defense army of Kongqing Town in front of him: "Guanzhong, please describe to me the overall defense situation of Kongqing Town in detail."

"Lord Lord, the four walls of Kongqing Town are in charge of the four garrison captains Vasson, Yar, Oss, and Wood respectively."

"After careful reorganization, the garrison brigade under the command of these four people is composed of more than half of veterans and strong recruits, and their combat effectiveness has reached the highest level at present."

The people in shining armor immediately bowed and saluted, and responded: "In addition to the garrison brigades under their respective command, the four of them were also assigned to a second-tier guard squadron directly under the city lord's mansion and two treatment teams to cooperate with the defense team." Army defends."

"Of course, according to the orders of the lord, most of these soldiers are currently hiding in various parts of the city wall and have never shown their faces."

"As for those who stay in the city, the magician squadron under the lord's command, the two princess guards, and the trade fair guard squadron have been guarding the city lord's mansion, granary, and other important facilities in the city with small teams as units. This part of the soldiers is under the charge of Lin."

Seeing that Guanzhong still maintained a respectful posture, he continued: "The two squadrons of swordsmen under the Lord Lord's command, the remaining squadron of guards from the City Lord's Mansion, two squadrons of recruits, two squadrons of treatment, and the mercenaries As a reserve team, the old Mr. Fang Hai will be in command, and finally, the subordinates will be responsible for the overall command work."

"very good."

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, refocused his attention on the battle situation below the city wall, and said with a faint smile, "Now we are waiting for the opponent to take the bait."

"This Kongqing Town is indeed a paper tiger!"

In a reserve team of the siege army, Baldwin's face was full of pride, staring at the battle ahead.

At this time, under the suppression of a large number of arrows mixed with attack spells, the counterattack from the city wall has begun to become weaker and weaker.

"Your Excellency, I have walked around the four walls of Kongqing Town just now, and found that there seem to be only a few heavy infantry squadrons and archers hidden in the archery towers defending each wall."

Dragging his fat body, Anzem, who had just landed on the ground, couldn't help wondering: "Is the other party hiding his strength?"

"The Count Ben has noticed this for a long time."

Casting an impatient glance at Anselm, Baldwin raised his eyelids and said, "If you were defending the city, would you let the soldiers come up to die in vain under such dense arrow feathers?"

"So that's the case, Your Excellency the Earl is right!"

On Anzem's fat face, the small eyes rolled around first, and then he suddenly said: "Kongqing Town has only four thousand garrison troops, and there are only nearly a thousand people on each wall on average. In addition, our attack is so fierce. , Its normal that there are few people!

Speaking of this, a smug smile appeared on the face of the fat nobleman again, and he said solemnly: "They don't have many people at all, so what are they fighting with you and me? It's not easy to wash Kongqing Town with blood. !"

"That's right, the Earl just put in an infantry brigade, five archer squads, and a few small squads of magicians on each of the four walls."

Looking at the four full-strength brigades waiting around, Baldwin also showed a sinister smile, and said lightly: "How is it? Now you know how correct the Earl's decision is?"

"Hehe, it is my greatest honor to be able to fight side by side with His Excellency the Earl."

The smile on Ansem's fat face grew stronger, and he said with murderous intent: "I am looking forward to the moment when the city will be broken. It is said that Princess Ariel is also a third-level nine-star powerhouse. Who is better than that?"

"If we can take the head of Princess Ariel, it will be a great achievement for us. His Royal Highness has been wanting to get rid of her for a long time."

Baldwin nodded, and a look of wretchedness appeared on Sensen's face, he winked at Ansem and said, "But before that..."

"Your Excellency the Earl is indeed extraordinary!"

Ansem immediately understood and nodded quickly.

After finishing speaking, the two grinned at each other and smiled, and a strong breath spread out.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic, how is it going with what I just explained?"

Baldwin re-projected his gaze to the distant wall of Kongqing Town, and asked again.

What he said was exactly the siege plan he had made with Ansem before.

In fact, Baldwin's strategy was very simple, that is to feign attack from all sides first, and then take the opportunity to find the weakest side of defense, and then assemble the reserve team to launch a fierce attack with superior forces, and at the same time, the remaining three sides also attacked the city together.

In this way, the other party, who can't take care of himself, will naturally have no other end except for the city being destroyed.

Of course, in this process, some small means have to be used to add fuel to the flames.

What Baldwin told Anzem was to find out the weakest defense in Kongqing Town.

"Go back to Your Excellency, it's done!"

Ansem moved his greasy face closer to Baldwin, and said softly: "As a small commercial hub, Kongqing Town extends in all directions, and there are gates on all sides, but I have carefully observed it. The defense is the weakest, and those heavy armored soldiers defending the city walls have almost been shot to death."

"Then you and I will start to act immediately."

Baldwin sneered, and then called the commander who was already on standby by his side.

Not long after, a more urgent horn sounded, and the general attack began.

Almost at the same time, all the unused catapults under the four walls were pushed out.

One by one, the round stone bombs, which were doused with special alchemy potion and emitted thick and billowing smoke, were carried into the "spoon" of the catapult by well-trained soldiers.

call! call! call!

As the strong ropes were cut off by the sharp blade, a large number of smoking stone bombs flew into the air in an instant and smashed towards the city wall at high speed.

However, most of these rolling heavy stone bullets did not fall on the city wall, but on the wooden deer village that had already been laid under the city wall.

boom! boom! boom!

In the smashed deer village, sawdust mixed with mud splashed and fell apart, and a large amount of black smoke rose up with it.

Not long after, under the second and third waves of stone bombs, the surrounding area of Kongqing Town was almost completely covered by thick black smoke, so that the soldiers on the city wall could not see clearly what was going on under the city. scene.

"My lord, this is a smokescreen sent by the enemy!"

A dense energy shield suddenly appeared around the orange-white body to block the smoke, and then said: "It seems that the enemy is obviously trying to do some tricks!"

"Don't worry."

Lei Xiao, who was also covered with an energy shield, smiled lightly and said, "We can just follow the plan, it seems that the enemy is preparing to throw himself into the trap."

After speaking, all the subordinates who surrounded Lei Xiao started to act one after another.

Under the city wall, looking at the city surrounded by thick black smoke, Ansem's fat face was full of excitement, and he said to Baldwin beside him: "As expected of the Earl, so the defenders on the city become blind!"

"Let's go, let me bring death and fire to this city that dared to disobey His Royal Highness."

Bodwin smiled subduedly and waved his hands. The soldiers who had already surrounded him immediately rushed towards the city wall with siege ladders on their shoulders.

In an instant, the earth trembled, shouts of killing rang out everywhere, and the soldiers besieging from all sides roared and launched an attack almost at the same time, the momentum was extremely astonishing.

It wasn't until the red-eyed soldiers were about to rush to the city that the arrow rain of the longbowmen in the back row gradually extinguished.

Then, under the cover of heavy infantry, they began to advance in the same way, so as to further support the soldiers who attacked the city and prepare to rush into the city gate at any time.

As long as the soldiers rushing up the city wall open the city gate, everything will naturally be settled.

Looking at the situation where the victory is almost guaranteed, the faces of these soldiers are even more murderous. When they enter the city, what awaits them will undoubtedly be innumerable gold and silver treasures!

"An idiot who dares to oppose His Highness the First Prince will only die! How can these **** stop us?"

Among the earth-shattering shouts of killing, Baldwin, who was holding a long-handled ax, was the first to bear the brunt, and a strong killing intent surged out along with his galloping.

"Soldiers, step down to Kongqing Town, use a sharp sword to end everything you see, everything will be ours!"

And Anzem was not to be outdone. Surrounded by two strong men of the third-order magic system, his fat body was supported by the wings of magic, and he also flew towards the city.

The actions of the two ~ made the soldiers beside them feel morale boosted, and they rushed towards the city wall with scarlet eyes staring at each other.

It didn't take long. Surrounded by their own personal guards, the two commanders and deputy commanders of the vanguard corps rushed up the city wall together with the first echelon.

With a monstrous killing intent, when the two led their respective elite squadrons through the thick black smoke, ready to kill, they were stunned by the sight before them.

In the second half of the wide city wall, a young man with an indifferent expression stood there quietly surrounded by followers who hardly emitted any energy fluctuations and densely packed golems and puppets. are waiting for their arrival.

"Everyone, welcome to my city. Since you're here, let's save your life."

The young man grinned, and suddenly showed a very bright smile.

Before Baldwin and Anselm could react, a monstrous terrifying aura suddenly surged out from the entourage behind the young man, and swept towards them whose faces gradually changed into horror.
