Chapter 392

Jiman city is a very strong city. As long as there are enough troops in the city, it is very difficult to break from the outside, because the countless arrow towers on the wall give Nord a headache, not to mention that King Ximan has just had a lot of archers.

Although the bow and arrow power of the Ximan kingdom is not very strong, it can not stand a large number. With the blessing of the arrow tower, these archers can pose a major threat to Nord's siege forces, because during the siege, these archers hiding above the arrow tower can also attack the soldiers waiting under the city without hindrance.

Therefore, after not solving the problem of archers, Nord will not attack the city with all his strength. After a day's rest outside the city, Nord looked at the Jiman city in front of him and was still at a loss. Nord did not think of an appropriate way to solve the solid arrow tower on the city wall.

But now that he has come here, Nord will not give up easily. Even if he is not sure of winning, he should at least try. Only when he knows what the real defensive strength of Jiman city is, Nord can think of ways to deal with it. After all, there are more ways than difficulties.

Nord asked the soldiers to carry the siege equipment and came to Jiman city. Although Nord didn't plan to attack the city immediately, he had to make sufficient preparations. At least let the soldiers on the city wall know that Nord really wanted to attack the city. Nord had to let Jiman City show its strength, so Nord could think about the next response.

Nord showed that he wanted to attack the city, but in fact he wanted to test how the firepower of Jiman city was. Nord wanted his long-range troops to compete with the archers of Ximan Kingdom on the arrow tower of the city wall, which is the legendary middle gate sniper link.

Nord wants his long-range troops to go to the archers of the Ximan Kingdom and make up for his weakness in the siege of his melee troops. Yes, Nord can make up for his weakness. When Nord attacks the city now, he can't take advantage of anything except that the soldiers are a little more elite. Nord attacks the city all the way from bath, It's hard to give them an advantage with long-range forces.

The weakness of these long-range forces in attacking the city is gradually reflected. Before, Nord could rely on the advantages of equipment, or the enemy did not understand the characteristics of Nord's long-range forces, so that these long-range forces could give the enemy a sudden attack and cause heavy losses. It can be said that they made full use of the sharp edge of the long-range forces and created great advantages for the battle.

However, with the increase of the number of battles, the characteristics of Nord's forces were gradually exposed. Then the Ximan Kingdom began to make targeted defense, which made Nord's long-range archers useless. In particular, the recent battles made Nord understand that archers are not helpful for attacking the city.

Or the siege itself should be like this, but the enemy Nord met before did not give full play to the advantages of the city wall, because he could not understand the situation of Nord's forces, so Nord's long-range soldiers took the lead. In fact, the normal siege is like Nord's experience in more than a month, which is very difficult.

Seeing Nord's troops advancing slowly, the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom on the wall were ready to move. With the distance getting closer, Nord's troops gradually entered the 200m range of the wall, and then Nord began to order long-range troops to attack the archers of the Ximan kingdom in the arrow tower.

Nord didn't let them shoot together, because with the protection of the arrow tower, the salvo can't kill those archers on the city wall at all. It's better to let these archers and crossbow soldiers shoot freely. Now Nord doesn't require the arrow rain to cover, but only that they can accurately kill and injure the enemies on the city wall.

At this time, the power of archers was shown, especially those with very high levels. The arrows they shot were fast and fierce. As soon as the soldiers showed their heads, several arrows immediately rushed to their face. After the war, the archers of the Ximan Kingdom on the city wall were overwhelmed by Nord's long-range troops.

Then Nord began to let the soldiers push slowly on the city wall, and the archers and crossbow soldiers firmly occupied the position 100 meters below the city. This is an excellent range, which can ensure the accuracy and will not make the elevation of the arrow too large.

As Nord's troops came to the bottom of the city, the archers of the Ximan Kingdom on the city wall began to fight back against Nord's troops, because they could not be indifferent to watching the enemy close to their own city wall, and the 100 meter range also enabled the archers of the Ximan kingdom to attack the long-range troops under the city.

The archers on the city wall are protected by the arrow tower, and the troops of Nord under the city wall, in addition to some soldiers holding shields in front of them, are completely exposed to the vision of the archers of the Ximan kingdom. Under the strong suppression of Nord's long-range forces, the archers of the Ximan Kingdom feel very oppressed.

This is the frustration that the range is too short. Nord's troops can shoot at them, but they can't attack Nord's troops at all. This feeling must be hard. Now Nord's long-range troops have entered their range, which makes the archers of the Ximan Kingdom how to resist not to fight back.

Now only the long-range troops of both sides are involved in the attack, whether it is the light infantry of the Ximan Kingdom on the city wall, or the close combat soldiers who return to the long-range troops after putting the ladder on the city wall and return to the side of the long-range troops as the protection of the target. Behind them, the archers can only watch the play. These humble close combat soldiers can watch the flying arrows up and down the city wall.

Nord looked at the duel between the archers on both sides, and his eyebrows became tight. Although the long-range soldiers under the city wall hurt the soldiers in the arrow tower a lot, he suffered a lot of casualties. The main reason is the arrow tower above the city tower, which makes Nord's long-range troops can't use their range advantage and can only make such a consumptive attack with the enemy.

Even if the other side has more casualties, Nord can't accept this result, because every soldier of Nord is very precious, especially these archers, all of whom are Nord's treasures. Many of them are senior soldiers, and the loss is very painful here.

After testing the firepower of Jiman city for a while, Nord ordered the soldiers under the city wall to retreat, because now Nord has understood that it is not wise to attack Jiman city. Even if Nord finally captured Jiman City, the price paid will be unbearable to Nord.

After Nord asked the soldiers to slowly return to the camp, he racked his brains on how to attack the strong city wall. Nord tried to think about the ways to break the situation in his mind. Finally, Nord thought of two ways, which were common means of attacking the city in ancient times, but Nord had been very smooth before and had not been used.

The simplest way is to improve siege equipment. For example, Nord's siege equipment is very low-level. There are no useful equipment except siege pile and siege ladder. In fact, Nord asked the carpenter's workshop to study some siege equipment a long time ago, which is just in use now.
