The county lieutenant was frightened in his heart, not because of the combat effectiveness of these female soldiers, to be honest, he was not optimistic about the so-called female soldiers, let alone how strong the armed women would be, and he was also confident that he would defeat the same number of female soldiers, and what really shocked him was the identity of these female soldiers, that was the Royal Guard, a very special army dedicated to the emperor's security, they appeared here, could it be that the new emperor of the Eastern Saint Empire came to Pear Blossom City in person?

Thinking of this, the county lieutenant felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly ordered: "Send scouts to scout horses, carefully search the three directions of east, west and south for me, find their follow-up troops to determine the number of opponents, and then send someone to inform General Wang of the situation here, and then he will return as soon as possible." ”

A series of orders were issued, the county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at the huge military flag in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and was about to meet the other party's lord to delay some time, when the direction of Nancheng suddenly disrupted, and then, the shouting of killing shook the sky.

The pro-soldier who had been sent to check before turned over and dismounted in a panic, knelt on one knee and said with a panicked face: "Lord County Lieutenant, there is a small group of enemy troops in the south of the city who are sneaking attack, the city gate has been opened and destroyed, and it cannot be closed for the time being, a large number of enemy troops have been found outside the city, look at the banner, it should be the Rock Legion and the Lone Wolf Legion of the Eastern Saint Empire." ”

The county lieutenant was shocked when he heard this: "What? The city gates were lost? What do they eat? Someone came, and ordered the reserve to rush to the south of the city to support as quickly as possible, and hold it for me at all costs. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they continued: "Lord Commander, the city gate has been controlled by General Wang, who rushed there, and a lot of waterwheels and stones have been transferred to temporarily seal the city gate, and he has personally led people to repair the gate of the stuck owner, I believe it will not take long to repair it." ”

The county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he had already heard of the names of the Rock Legion and the Lone Wolf Legion, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and continued to order: "Order the defenders in the east of the city to rush to the south of the city to support, and the east city wall will be taken over by the defenders in the north of the city." The herald left quickly without hesitation.

Outside the city, the 5,000 infantry of the Taiji Legion were also ready, and the front ones were eager to carry the various parts of the ladder and the platform, and they would rush towards the seemingly unattainable city wall without hesitation when they waited for an order.

The so-called platform tower, in fact, is a ladder-shaped shelf, this is the military factory in a combination of iron pipes and bolts with a combination, the latest siege equipment developed, the advantage of this kind of platform tower is that it can be assembled and disassembled at any time, convenient for transportation, and once the siege is completed, it will form a passage that is ten meters wide and extends to the top of the city wall, although it is a little troublesome to build, and the risk of building personnel is extremely high, but a ten-meter-wide passage is of great significance to the soldiers besieging the city.

According to the previous siege warfare, most of the attacking side used the ladder, but the ladder can only go up one soldier at a time, but it is indeed several times or even more than ten times or even more right enemies to face, the casualties are extremely high, and the ladder is not stable, it is likely to be pushed by the soldiers of the defending side, and it is indeed a hundred times more difficult to lift the ladder at that time.

The tower is different, it does not have those shortcomings, the foundation is more stable and reliable, its own weight is unshakable, the soldiers can cooperate with each other to protect each other and rush to the city wall at the same time, the defenders are difficult to resist, so to speak, no more, as long as the general city wall successfully builds three or four towers, the city wall basically loses its due role, is no longer the defender's dependence, and is no longer the nightmare of the attacking side.

The Eastern Sage Empire is also the first time that the Tailou has been applied in actual combat, and Yuan Fang is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and she is both apprehensive and expectant. The Rock Legion had begun to attack, but the city gate had been blocked by the defenders, and General Qin Yan was directing the Rock Legion to build ladders and towers.

Yuan Fang sighed, the best time was missed, and the previous plan to feint to attract the enemy army also failed, and now he can only fake the show and attack at the same time in the west and south.

Yuan Fang looked at Yuqing, Yuqing nodded slightly, and Yuan Fang ordered without hesitation: "All, attack." ”

As the order was given, the officers in front saw the command of the military flag and immediately ordered their subordinates to attack.

First of all, the archers who had been hiding behind the heavy shields opened their bows and arrows, and with the officer's order, there was a buzz of ten thousand arrows, and to the horror of the defenders, the range of the bows and arrows of the female soldiers was extremely exaggerated, and they could shoot effectively outside the range of the defenders.

The rain of arrows fell from the sky, and there was a clanging sound, although most of them were blocked by the soldiers defending the city with shields, but still a considerable number of them hit the target, accompanied by a muffled snort, many soldiers fell from the arrows.

The officers defending the city raised their weapons and ordered to return fire, and the archers at the head of the city opened their bows and arrows, but most of their arrows fell along the dividing line, and only a few arrows were full of strength and fell into the array of female soldiers.

The first round of shooting results were mixed, the defenders were shocked, the female soldiers were proud, the bows and arrows they used were the latest products of the military factory, not only lightweight, but also longer, and the arrows were carefully forged and extremely sharp. At the end of the first round of shooting, Yuqing frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with the accuracy of the female soldiers, in fact, she couldn't complain about those female soldiers, they were all new recruits who had been in the army for less than a year, and it was already good to have such a performance, and Yuqing had a character of pursuing perfection, and she had been using those veterans as a reference in her heart, so she was naturally very dissatisfied.

At the beginning of the battle, the officers commanded in an orderly manner, and the archery units divided into two echelons after three more volleys to shoot alternately, covering the interspersed infantry rushing to the city walls.

The county lieutenant of Ewha City frowned, his own archers were suppressed by the other party, and he couldn't raise his head at all, the other party's infantry was about to rush to the city, but he didn't have the slightest way. As the infantry advanced, their positions became empty, only a small number of wounded soldiers who were wounded by bows and arrows, not far away, Xiao Lu did not hesitate to order the medical workers to carry stretchers, under the protection of shield bearers, to rush into the battlefield, and carry those wounded soldiers back to the field medical treatment and settlement in their own formation.

On the city wall, the county lieutenant and many officers and soldiers had long noticed the strange men in white leather armor in the back of the opposing camp, and now they saw them carrying away the wounded and corpses with shields on their shoulders, and they suddenly realized that they were not special forces as they guessed, but military doctors, and they really couldn't understand why military doctors would come to the front line of the battle and risk their lives to rescue the wounded.

Of course, these thoughts are only fleeting, and they don't have time to think about them, and the enemy in front of them is the first object they want to deal with. 5610
