Chapter 650： aggressive attack

Deng! Deng! Deng!

Accompanied by the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps, the front row was covered by strong heavy infantry with giant shields.

The long-range phalanx formed by the dense longbowmen has already begun to draw bows and arrows one after another, with the tips of the arrows pointing straight in the air, making a throwing posture.

In the blink of an eye, under each city wall, hundreds of arrows lost their momentum, each with a sharp arrow, flashing icy cold light in the bright sun.

woo...

The horn sounded dull and full of strong killing intent, and the attack began.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of the arrows breaking through the air continuously pierced through the air.

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

This is close to 2,000 feathered arrows. It may not be a big deal for a behemoth like a mountain fortress, but it is enough to pose a huge threat to a small city like Kongqing Town... It was originally like this.

But due to Lei Xiao's advance arrangement, the ordinary infantry with weaker defenses were already hidden in the safe area under the city wall.

And now, on each city wall are a few ordinary heavy infantry squadrons that have been prepared for a long time.

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

Since the first wave of feather arrows fired by the opponent were all blessed by wind magicians who were proficient in auxiliary magic, the range and power were increased compared to ordinary arrows.

Therefore, although our archers hidden in many arrow towers fought back at the first time, they were quickly suppressed by the opponent's second wave of arrow feathers due to the limited shooting range 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 salvo to the continuous alternate projection, leaving almost no chance for the soldiers on our city wall to breathe.

"Lord Lord, the opponent's army is well-organized and well-trained. Although it can't be compared with the army directly under the royal family, it is already an outstanding existence in the ranks of the ordinary garrison."

In an arrow tower on the city wall, Bert's sharp old eyes stared at the battle situation under the city and said.

"Indeed, with the same equipment, apart from 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 in the sky, Guan Zhong, who had just returned from the defense, 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, and the place would be completely changed.

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

On the orange and white face, the expression is stern, and the eyebrows are tightly furrowed.

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

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, also staring at the battle situation under the city.

During this period of time, whether it is the infrastructure construction, urban defense construction of Kongqing Town, or a series of measures to benefit the people that have been introduced one after another, I have tried my best to avoid too much publicity, and try my best to use the banknote ability to a minimum, but even so, it is still early. The reputation has spread far and wide.

"Too talented and wealthy, you will be envied by others."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiaolue pondered, and said to the commander of the Kongqing Town garrison in front of him: "Guangzhong, the overall deployment of Kongqing Town is now, and then describe it to me in detail."

"Go back to the lord, the four walls of Kongqing Town are respectively in charge of the four garrison captains of Vasson, Yar, Os, and Wood."

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

Guan Zhong, dressed in shining armor, immediately bowed and saluted, and responded, "In addition to the garrison brigade under their respective command, the four of them have also been assigned to a second-order guard squadron and two treatment squads directly under the City Lord's Mansion to cooperate with the defense. Army to defend."

"Of course, according to the Lord's instructions, most of these soldiers are currently hidden in various places in the city wall, and have not shown their faces."

"As for those who stayed in the city, the magician squadron, two princess guards, and the trade fair guard squadron under the Lord Lord's command have already taken the squad as a unit and cooperated with the outposts to guard the city lord's mansion, granary, and other important facilities in the city. At the place, this part of the soldiers is under the responsibility of Lin."

I saw Guan Zhong still maintaining a respectful posture and continued: "And the two squadrons of great swordsmen under the lord's command, the remaining squadron of guards in the city lord's mansion, two brigades of recruits, two treatment squads, and mercenaries. As a reserve team, Mr. Fang Hai is in command, and in the end, the subordinates are responsible for the overall command."

"very good."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he focused his attention on the battle situation under the city wall again.

…

"This Kongqing Town is indeed a paper tiger!"

In a reserve team of the siege army, Baldwin had a smug look on his face, 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.

"Your Excellency Count, I have circled around the four walls of Kongqing Town just now, and found that there are only a few heavy infantry squadrons and archers hidden in the watchtower guarding each city wall."

Dragging his fat body, Anzem, who had just landed on the ground, couldn't help but wonder, "Will the other party hide his strength?"

"This count has already noticed this."

Glancing at Anzem impatiently, Birdwin raised his eyelids and said, "If you were defending the city, would you let the soldiers come and die in vain under such dense arrow feathers?"

"It turns out that this is the case, His Excellency the Earl is right!"

On Anzem's fat face, the small eyes first rolled, and then he suddenly said: "Kongqing Town has only four thousand garrison troops, and on average, there are nearly one thousand troops on each city wall. In addition, our attack is like this. It’s normal to be fierce and few people!”

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

"That's right, this earl just put one infantry brigade, five archers, plus a few small teams of magicians on the four walls of the city."

Looking at the four full-staff battalions that were staring at him, Baldwin also showed a gloomy smile, and said sternly, "How is it? Now I know how correct this Earl's decision is, right?"

"Haha, it is my greatest honor to fight side by side with Your Excellency the Earl."

The smile on Anzemu's fat face gradually deepened, and he said with murderous intent: "Now, I am looking forward to the moment when the city is broken. It is said that Princess Ariel is also a third-order nine-star powerhouse. I don't know what to do with it. Who is better than that?"

"The Age of Rebirth"

"If we can take down Princess Ariel's head, it will definitely be a great achievement for us. His Royal Highness has wanted to get rid of it for a long time."

Birdwyn nodded, and there was a hint of wretchedness on Sensen's face again, he blinked at Anzem and said, "But before that..."

"Your Excellency the Earl is indeed extraordinary!"

Anzem immediately understood and nodded quickly.

After they finished speaking, the two grinned and smiled at each other, and a strong atmosphere filled the air.

"Okay, let's get back to the point, how are you doing about what I just explained?"

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

What he said was exactly the siege plan he had made with Anzem earlier.

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

In this way, the opponent who is too busy to take care of himself will naturally have no other end other than being destroyed.

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

And what Birdwin told Anzem was to find out the weakest defense of Kongqing Town.

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

Anzem put his greasy fat face closer to Birdwin, and said softly: "As a small commercial hub, Kongqing Town extends in all directions, with city gates on all sides, but I have carefully observed it below. The defense is the weakest, and the heavy armored soldiers defending the city walls have been shot to death."

"Then you and I will start acting immediately."

Baldwin sneered, and then called the commander who was already on standby beside him.

Before long, a more cramped horn sounded, and the general offensive began.

Almost at the same time, all the catapults that had not been used under the four walls were pushed out.

One by one, the round stone bullets, which were drenched in special alchemy potions and wafting thick and billowing smoke, were carried into the "spoon" of the catapult by the well-trained soldiers.

call! call! call!

Along with the strong ropes being cut off by sharp blades, a large number of smoking stone bullets rose into the air in an instant and smashed towards the city wall at a rapid speed.

However, most of these heavy stone bullets that rolled in did not land on the city wall, but smashed on the wooden deer village that was already covered under the city wall.

boom! boom! boom!

In the smashed Luzhai, sawdust mixed with soil splashed in a mess, and a large amount of black smoke also rose.

Not long after, under the attack of the second and third wave of stone bullets, the entire surrounding of Kongqing Town was almost completely enveloped in black smoke, making the soldiers on the city wall completely dark and unable to see the city at all. sight.

"Lord Lord, this is a smoke bomb sent by the enemy!"

A thick layer of energy shield suddenly appeared on the orange-white body to isolate the smoke, and then said: "It seems that the enemy is obviously trying to do something small!"

"do not worry."

Lei Xiao, who was also filled with energy shields, smiled and said: "Let's just follow the plan. It seems that the enemy is ready to throw himself into the net."

After the words were finished, 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, Anzem's fat face was full of excitement, and he said to Birdwyn who was beside him: "As expected of the earl, in this way, the defenders on the city become blind!"

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

Birdwyn gave a stern smile, then waved his hand. The soldiers who had already surrounded him on the left and right immediately carried the siege ladder and rushed towards the city wall frantically.

In an instant, the earth trembled, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and the soldiers besieging from all sides launched an attack almost at the same time with filial piety, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.

When the red-eyed soldiers were about to rush to the city, the arrows of the longbowmen in the back row gradually extinguished.

Then, under the cover of heavy infantry, they began to move forward as well, in order to further support the soldiers who were attacking the city and to be ready to rush into the city gate at any time.

As long as the soldiers who rushed to the city wall opened the city gate, everything would naturally settle down.

Looking at the situation where they are almost guaranteed to win, the faces of these soldiers are even more murderous. When they enter the city, there will undoubtedly be countless treasures of gold and silver waiting for them!

"The idiot who dares to oppose His Royal Highness the First Prince, there is only one way to die! How can these **** stop us?"

Between the earth-shattering shouts of killing, I saw Baldwin, who was holding a long-handled axe, bear the brunt, and the strong killing intent galloped out along with his gallop.

"Soldiers, step on the town of Kongqing, use your sword to end everything you see, everything is ours!"

And Anzem is not to be outdone, surrounded by two third-order magic powerhouses, the magic wings oscillate, supporting the fat body, and also swept toward the city.

This action of the two made the soldiers beside them involuntarily boosted their morale with their scarlet eyes, they rushed towards the city wall one after another.

It didn't take long, surrounded by their own personal guards, the commanders and deputy commanders of the two vanguard legions rushed to the city wall with the first echelon.

Carrying the monstrous killing intent, when the two led their elite squadrons through the thick black smoke, ready to kill, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw in the second half of the wide city wall, a young man with a sullen expression, surrounded by a group of followers who hardly radiated any energy fluctuations, and a dense number of golems and puppets, standing there quietly, obviously are waiting for their arrival.

"Everyone, welcome to my city. Since you're here, leave your life behind."

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

Before Baldwin and Anzem could react, a terrifying aura surged out from the entourage behind the young man, and swept toward them whose faces gradually changed to horror.
