Chapter 262: Siege
On November 4, the third year of barbarism, the siege army led by the Condor came to the city again.
After a night of hard work and work by the orcs, the rubble under Liumang City was basically cleared, and the front of the city wall became bare again, only the foundations of the two army forts were left in place, as if to tell people what had happened here.
Without the hindrance of the two large army forts, the siege force could finally attack the city walls directly this time.
Bai Ze is still the same tactics as yesterday, the shield-wielding infantry is responsible for covering, and the Condor Guard is responsible for the main attack.
It's just that today's shield-wielding infantry has been replaced by orc infantry to white hoplite, no way, even if the orcs have good physical strength, after a night of carrying work, they must have a good rest.
Because there were two small large army forts in front of the walls yesterday, the Condor only dispatched two siege towers that had been urgently modified.
As he faced the walls today, the Condor finally bared his sharp fangs.
Twenty huge siege towers were pushed out of the camp, and behind the siege towers there were twenty tall siege arrow towers.
Looking at these behemoth-like siege equipment, Jun Moxie's face was unusually solemn.
Because he knew that the time for intrigue had passed, and now it was time to compete with each other for the true strength of both sides.
"Wen Hao, Wen Jie, your two brothers each take a Tiger Guard to sit on the city wall, once the enemy rushes to the city, you will immediately bring people to destroy them.
Remember, don't be in war, I will make this city a meat grinder, and I will let them stay as many as the enemy comes. ”
Jun Moxie looked at the slowly approaching enemy army and commanded proudly.
"The last will obey."
After receiving the order, the two generals who were named by Jun Moxie immediately led the Tiger Guards to the two city walls.
Although Jun Moxie is known for his good use of strategy, he has never been afraid of anyone in a head-on battle.
Although Ning Yuan has a large number of generals and many elite legions, he is not a soft persimmon, and he also has five tiger generals and an elite tiger guard.
He wanted to see if it was the elite of Ning Yuan's army or his Tiger Guard.
Because after yesterday's temptation, Jun Moxie already knew that the heavy armor archers were useless, so today all the heavy armor archers have changed into melee weapons, except for some dwarven slingers, he has completely given up the long-range attack means.
Faced with the enemy's shield, the dwarven slingers also stopped after a few symbolic waves of stone projectiles, and drew their hammers from behind them, ready to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.
The limitations of these two arms are very large, so it is naturally impossible for Jun Moye to waste valuable heavy armor equipment on them, in fact, they are all all-round troops, they can be far and near, and they are the real elite of the army.
As the wooden bridge over the siege tower was heavily built on the top of the city, the defenders on the city wall immediately threw a large number of canisters filled with fire oil at the siege tower, and then threw the torches in their hands on the fire oil that was spilled out.
Although the siege towers of the Condor Leader have been fireproofed, the fire oil is ignited by fire, so many siege towers are on fire.
However, the fire had just been ignited, and it was immediately extinguished, and it turned out that the Condor Leader had already prepared.
I saw that the Condor soldiers of the siege tower quickly dumped a basket of sand and soil on the place where the fire was ignited, and then the fire was extinguished.
Although he had been mentally prepared, after seeing that all the enemy's siege towers were safe and sound, Jun Moye still shook his head regretfully.
Because he knew that if the fire attack could not burn down a few enemy siege towers, then the defenders on the city walls would face more pressure next.
The situation was just as Jun Moxie expected, as the Condor Guard followed the wooden bridge to the city, a tragic hand-to-hand combat officially began.
Because there were still twenty huge siege arrow towers on the side of the Condor Leader, and each siege arrow tower had thirty elven marksmen on it, there was basically nothing to do with light infantry in this battle, and the entire city was full of enemy soldiers in heavy armor.
Considering that swords and other weapons were not so easy to deal with heavily armored soldiers, some of the besieging Condor guards were armed with Fang Tian painting halberds, and some were armed with maces made of fine iron.
After they rushed to the top of the city, the Condor Guard, armed with Fang Tian's halberd, was responsible for maintaining the formation, and the Condor Guard, armed with a mace, was responsible for killing the enemy.
The defenders on the walls were also armed with long-handled weapons and half blunt weapons, and soldiers on both sides engaged in a fierce battle around the city.
The Condor Guard is worthy of being a special legion that once dominated the world, and after they rushed to the top of the city, they quickly occupied a place to stay, and then quickly expanded outward based on this place.
Seeing that the Condor Guard was about to gain an overwhelming advantage, an army wearing black armor and tiger helmets suddenly slaughtered.
Led by an invincible general, they waited for their work and slaughtered all the Condor guards who rushed to the city.
Once this army has helped the defenders retake the city, they will immediately retreat and wait for the next attack.
This situation is constantly playing out on the two walls.
Although the Condor Guards were elite, the enemy did not give them the opportunity to form a scale, and every time they rushed up one or two hundred people, the black-armored tiger helmets would pounce on them, relying on the numerical advantage to kill the Condor Guards who rushed to the city.
Seeing that the enemy was using this tactic to continuously encroach on the Condor Guard who rushed to the city, Bai Ze's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was very solemn.
Obviously, the enemy also has an elite legion, so the enemy commander is very bold to use the city as a meat grinder, and wants to slowly eat away at his own Condor Guard there.
Although the Condor Guard also brought a lot of casualties to the enemy, those were just ordinary heavy infantry, and the enemy's elite legion did not suffer much loss.
Originally, as a besieging party, as long as the city could be captured, the casualty ratio greater than this was acceptable, but Bai Ze did not dare to continue to let the Condor Guard and the other party exchange their lives for their lives at this time.
Because these soldiers are the Condor Guard, the most elite legion of the Condor Leader, and the lifeblood of Ning Yuan.
If it is not a siege war, then the enemy is by no means the opponent of the formed Condor Guards, as a special class, the Condor Guards should not appear in the siege war at all, because the siege war will not be able to exert their full strength at all.
It seems that after this battle, it is time to remind the lord to form a special army dedicated to the siege of the city.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze shook his head helplessly, and then directly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Looking at the siege troops retreating like a tide, Jun Moye showed a sneer: "What? It's starting to hurt, and if you do, you're going to let me down. ”
