Chapter 1037 1023. Battle in the city 1
The fireball exploded on the city wall, and the huge impact overturned the material shelves behind the city wall, and the arrows, whetstones, and long-handled weapons piled up on the shelves fell to the city.
Following the fall, there were also some city guards covered in scars all over their bodies. Some of them were still on fire, and they fell to the bottom of the city like defeated leather. They twitched a few times and stopped moving.
From time to time, auxiliary soldiers from the logistics force would run down the city wall carrying stretchers. They would move these wounded soldiers into carriages and quickly transport them to the inner courtyard of the city hall. At least there would be hope of survival there.
There is a long reserve team lined up under the city wall. While they are waiting to climb the city wall, they will also deal with those crypt men who jumped off the city wall below the city wall.
The corpses of the cavemen in the city cannot be transported out, and if they are left for too long, they will become foul-smelling, so there is an incineration site specially set up for the cavemen not far below the city wall.
These incineration sites were originally just a pile of discarded firewood. After being ignited, someone threw the corpses of the cryptmen on it, and these black cryptmen were burned to the ground.
There is a disgusting smell everywhere near the city walls.
Those urban residents with weapons in hand who came from the city lined up on the city wall and looked out along the crenels of the city wall. Outside the city, there was a large black army of demons, like a dark cloud pressing overhead. .
They gathered under the city wall, forming waves that hit the city wall.
The siege army was full of some tall crypt warriors, holding heavy bronze giant axes in their hands. Every time these crypt warriors climbed to the top of the city, they would cause a riot.
Sometimes they can only be cleared out if the construction swordsman rushes to the rescue.
These cryptmen have no necks, and the head and body are connected together, which also causes them to want to turn back, and the body must also turn backward at the same time.
The residents in the city finally saw the hard battle on the city wall, and of course they also clearly saw the world outside the city. The small towns that originally surrounded the slums around Mukuso City have almost all been razed to the ground.
At present, there are traces of **** dogs in the siege army. They often follow some **** warriors to attack the top of the city, and they can cause a lot of casualties on the city wall every time. Vicious dogs, ordinary **** dogs rushing to the city wall are the biggest threat to the city defense guards.
The urban residents who were still fighting in the city just now were so frightened that they peed on their pants. Many soldiers wore tight-leg breeches, and their crotches were suddenly wet and dripping, and their faces were flushed.
But at this time, no one came to laugh at them. Some people were so frightened that their legs limp and could only stand against the wall.
More city residents were vomited by the stench from the top of the city.
Just like that, the voluntary reinforcements organized by the citizens climbed up the city wall and were completely defeated after only one glance at the battlefield.
Perhaps the battle on the city wall will form an indelible shadow in their hearts.
But it is not without benefits, at least those strange voices of questioning are much less all of a sudden.
That night, a saying suddenly became popular in the city: If anyone is not convinced, then go up to the top of the city and have a look...
…
Suldak climbed to the top of the city again in the evening, and the number of crypt men and hellhounds under the city increased a lot.
These low-level demon creatures seem to be not difficult to deal with, but they have been attacking endlessly since the siege, which caused great pressure on the city wall guards, but these city guards did not show any negative emotions such as emotional collapse.
The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment saw Suldak leading a group of officials coming up from the city wall. They all stood up and saluted Suldak.
Suldak was accompanied by a group of officials including the city defense commander, the chief of the guard, and the logistics minister. The city defense guards also stood up and saluted.
After Suldak walked over, the city guards whispered to the newly familiar heavy armored infantry fighters: "Hey, brother, who was that big man just now? The boss of our city defense brigade is actually accompanying him!"
"The supreme commander of the heavy armored infantry regiment, Viscount Surdak." The infantry soldier said casually, and then added: "It was he who led us all the way from Bansko to Mukuso..."
The city defense guards were a little reluctant to speak for a moment.
At this time, the cryptmen came up and became the bond of friendship between the two parties again. If there is a conflict, kill a wave of cryptmen!
The battle would not be temporarily interrupted just because Suldak went to inspect the city wall. Suldak stepped on the halo of power under his feet, and no matter where he went, the morale of the soldiers at the top of the city would be greatly increased.
He even personally raised the Gothic shield to demonstrate the correct and labor-saving defensive posture to the heavy armored infantry fighters on the city wall. Shield fighters need to know how to use the angle force when holding the shield, otherwise they will lose their physical strength very quickly .
Some city defense guards also found that Suldak was a very skilled shield warrior, and they all came together to learn.
In this way, the battle at the head of the city became an on-site teaching.
Suldak was able to blast a tall crypt warrior down the city with one hand only by relying on the 'block' and 'shield attack' of a shield.
Suldak asked the city defense guards to fight on the city wall as much as possible when they are physically strong, and they can work in three shifts a day if necessary, so that the defenders can maintain sufficient physical strength at all times. In order to ensure that the number of city defense personnel is sufficient , All members of the heavy armored infantry regiment joined the defense sequence.
Standing at the head of the city, Suldak pointed to a dense residential area at his feet, and told the Minister of Logistics: "You must try to clear the area 30 meters away from the city wall as soon as possible, so that it can form a buffer zone to prevent people from the crypt Jumped into the city, drilled into the residential area and couldn't find it."
"As long as they get into the city, every crypt man will have blood on his hands before he can be dealt with by the guard battalion knights."
"I want to build a second line of defense here to prevent them from entering the inner city."
The Knights of the Guard Battalion dealt with thousands of cryptman murders during the day. The 3,000 knights in the Guard Battalion are busy up to now, and they are still arresting the escaped cryptmen everywhere in the city.
If there were no hunting groups spontaneously organized by the demon hunters, adventure group fighters, and mercenaries in the city, the scene in the city would have been even more miserable.
That's why Suldak came to the city wall to inspect the situation here. It can be said that once there are too many crypt men rushing up at the same time, and these crypt men jump into the city regardless of casualties, no matter how many city guards there are on the city wall. Can't stop them either.
Suldak immediately decided to form a second line of defense inside the city wall.
But clearing out a battlefield is a big project for the logistics department, and other departments, such as finance and urban construction, are also involved here.
Suldak thought for a while, then said:
"The residents here have all moved to the inner city for the time being, try to resettle them well, and try to reduce the resistance in their hearts."
"Now is the time of war, we nobles also want to open the manor, resettle these residents as much as possible, and make corresponding compensation to these residents after the war. The specific compensation standard is up to you. Show me one last look."
The Minister of Logistics wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Suldak boarded the north city wall, which was also the place that suffered the worst attack from the **** demons. The great swordsman Quintas and the ogre Gulitum were stationed on this wall.
Especially, the corpses of the crypt people piled up under the north gate have formed a gentle slope, and the hellhound can easily climb to the top of the city along the pile of crypt human corpses.
Some two-headed hellhounds and crypt warriors rushed forward, but what they didn't know was that there were two second-rank powerhouses waiting for them at the top of the city, and one of them was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the two-headed hellhounds.
The great swordsman Quintus picked up the corpse of a headless hellhound and threw it outside the city.
The ogre quickly put the severed head of the hellhound into a wooden box, and quickly poured some lime powder in for preservation.
The heads of these hellhounds are very precious...
The two-headed ogre finally got his wish and cut off the hind legs of a two-headed hellhound. The blood was dripping and slowly baked on the magic scroll of the focus fire, but there was a layer of lava flowing on the surface of the hellhound's skin, obviously it Not too afraid of fire.
Although the fire resistance of the dog's legs has been reduced due to the loss of the support of the body's strength, it does not know how long it will take to roast the dog's legs with the flame formed by the scroll.
Seeing Suldak coming here from a distance, Gulitham shook his arm quickly, and the big stick in his hand couldn't be idle, and he swung a crypt man flying out of the city.
Suldak smiled and asked Quintas Great Swordsman:
"How does it feel...was the battle on the wall tough?"
The great swordsman Quintus rubbed his sword against the city wall, and sparks burst out. The epee was badly worn, and he had to wipe the edge from time to time.
The Great Swordsman Quintus smiled and said:
"Finally, I experienced the siege of the **** army. The number of this group of **** army is really enough."
"Did you miss the battle on the Maca plane?" Suldak asked.
"Our people happened to be in Luoqi at that time, and we only heard that Vozmara was besieged later." Quintas Great Swordsman said.
Suldak looked at the densely packed cave people outside the city and said:
"At that time, Marquis Luther was on the Maca plane, and dispatched a large number of cavalry regiments to go deep into the rear of the Hellhounds, destroying the portal there, and won the battle. I think we may also use the Maca plane Only with the above tactics can we turn the tide of battle.”
The great swordsman Quintus didn't even look back, and he used his giant sword to chop off a crypt man who rushed forward with his backhand.
He grinned, probably a little unable to bear the stench here, and kicked the corpse of the crypt man to the bottom of the city wall.
"Now, think about how to hold this city." Quintas Great Swordsman said very realistically.
Because everyone knows that this tough battle to defend the city has just begun.
