The 140th quarter of the strong attack

The battle broke out after the siege was prepared for three days.

As mentioned earlier, the Chaos believers actually had quite good abilities when building fortifications and war tools. This time, they no longer advanced with almost useless shields. Using existing tools and materials in the Blood Fortress (and materials collected from outside the city), they created various equipment for siege.

The soldiers slowly advanced forward with a small shield van. As before, the catapult cart at the top of the city threw out flying stones all over the sky. However, although each of these stones had the power to break the human body, they could not deal with the shield. The shape of this small shield van was similar to an umbrella, but the lower end was a thick pillar, which was supported on a simple car. The stone fell off and could only shake the shield as a whole, but could not cause any damage to it and those hiding under it.

After two waves of stone throws, the defenders quickly realized that this level of attack was completely unbreakable. So they gave up the idea of ​​throwing a large amount of gravel and instead threw huge rocks: stones that were the size of millstones. The power of this stone far exceeded the strength of a small shield. Once hit, it means that one shield immediately turned into pieces, at least a large piece was missing.

But unfortunately, a catapult can be equipped with a large basket of smaller stones. Therefore, only more than ten catapults can produce the effect of "flying stones all over the sky", which can cause great damage to the enemy's dense team. After all, even if the stone is not big, it cannot be resisted by human shields. However, in order to deal with the shield, we can only install a large stone. Only twenty huge rocks are thrown out at a time.

Moreover, even these twenty huge rocks may not be able to hit, and even if they hit, they may not be able to destroy the shield.

In this way, the damage they cause becomes an acceptable range of things.

The wizard who stepped on the magic plate became the raider. Without the stones all over the sky, it became very difficult for the wizard to hit the flying wizard. In just a small gap, four or five wizards took the opportunity to break into the ricket position. Before the defenders had time to react, they quickly set fire with magic.

In a moment, the firepower of the catapult car was reduced by more than half.

Next is a classic siege battle - just as described in textbooks. Due to the limitations of surrounding terrain, the siege party can only use long ladders, hook ropes, long ropes and other equipment to siege the city, and let the magician provide firepower support. The battle is tense and fierce, and there are shouts of killing under the city.

Ashu Rufate stood behind and watched the battle ahead. Xingke might be good at fighting, but he was obviously a novice in command. He lacked experience and lacked dispatching ability, so he was caught off guard by Ashu Rufate at the beginning and destroyed more than half of the catapults. The remaining half was greatly reduced due to the shield van. The crossbows that were originally placed on the top of the city are now few intact-the first target of those wizard apprentices are these defensive weapons.

The oil port on the city wall was quite troublesome - the defenders fell down the hot hot oil from time to time to cook the attackers below. Although Ashurufat did not push the city hammer to break the city, this fortification still had a great killing effect. Because the hot oil ignored all armor.

But overall, the main part of the battle is a bloody battle that takes place at the top of the long ladder. One by one attacker one by one climbs up the city and then is cut down one by one. Everyone knows that this kind of melee battle is very unfavorable for the siege, because it means that one of them will be besieged by many enemies when they climb to the city. In fact, this is the case. Only a very small number of warriors can persist at the city for a long time - even so, the final consequences are no different.

The casualties of the defenders were unknown, but the casualties of the siege were real. The catapults there never had. Although they were not strong, they also increased casualties steadily. The battle at the city was even more tragic. For not a long time, Ashrufate saw that the corpses under a long ladder had piled up into a hill. The ladder itself was also cut off by a giant axe in the fierce battle. The only comforting thing was that the defender who cut off the axe was hit by a fireball, and fell from the city with a howling and joined the "small hill" that was two people high.

"Our soldiers are being slaughtered!" Gander came to Ash Rufate from the side, his voice full of anger. "For every one of them we have to kill five!"

"But our number is ten times more than them!" Ash Rufate replied coldly. Compared to the past, the Chaos Lord's eyes were even colder and ruthless. He looked around and found that Flint was coming here.

"Flint, where is the tunnel you are responsible for?"

"No, there is no progress." Flint's voice was soft and he seemed guilty. It was obvious that his progress was not good. "I don't know what's going on... But this underground... is a shallow layer and there is a rock. There is no way to dig it!"

"Rock? Then is this castle built on the rock?" Ash Rufat was a little surprised and couldn't help but point to the towering towers in the central castle. These towers have been used, and the defenders often throw stones from above. Due to height issues, although the stones are small, they are very lethal. Without the cover of shields, people will not die and be seriously injured when they are hit. "What's the matter with those towers?"

A tall tower must have a solid foundation - this is a simple truth that anyone knows. Stone ground means you can't dig any deep foundation at all.

"I don't know, sir." Flint looked dejected. "It can only be said that this is a miracle."

"I understand, forget it, I don't plan to rely on the Tao to break the city anyway." Ash Rufate replied. He continued to watch the battle on the city wall. Since people were constantly being chopped, a considerable number of corpses have been piled up around the base of the city wall.

"Sir, although our troops have an advantage," Gande was still unwilling to give up on the other side. "But such a battle has a great damage to our morale. No one can withstand such casualties." He added. "Although the morale of the soldiers is still very high now, I can guarantee that if such a battle lasts for three days, our army will probably lose the courage to connect to the city wall."

"I know," said Ashu Rufate. "So I'll let the soldiers know that it takes more courage to retreat than to advance."

"As long as you want to lead this army in the future, as long as you don't want it to collapse like this, you can't do such short-sighted things."

"You still don't understand," Ash Rufate sighed. Speaking of which, although Gander has rich experience in the battlefield, there is indeed a reason for still being a plunderer. He is really not suitable for a Chaos believer - if he goes to the south, at least he is more than enough to be a border commander.

If it were a Chaos Lord, people like Gande would never be placed at the highest level of the Chaos Legion. Even if they were really put in, they would never listen to such suggestions that were extremely absurd to Chaos.

"This battle won't last long," said Ashu Rufate. "Gander, you should understand... this is not a real battle."

"The real battle is..." Gande looked at the other party with some confusion.

"Did you notice the defense on the city wall?" Asu Ruffat asked. On the surface, the battle seemed very fierce and very consistent with the taste of the terror-torture believers. Especially because of the development of the battle on the city wall, many magic attacks had to stop to avoid accidentally hurting their friendly forces. As mentioned earlier, the blood fortress had some mysterious interference, which greatly reduced the power of the magic. This interference not only affected the destructive killing spells, but also affected the blessing spells. Therefore, there was almost no effective gain on the siege side, and even if there was, the duration was greatly reduced.

From an objective perspective, it is easy to observe the fact that although the siege party has a much greater force than the other party, it is affected by various conditions (most importantly the city wall), which makes the enemy large and small in actual combat. Many amazing warriors have fallen under the siege of the enemy. The advantage of the battle is the defenders rather than the siege party.

"I noticed it last time," said Ashu Rufate. "The enemy looked very imposing, but in fact... they did not divide the troops into several strands and replaced them in turn to reduce fatigue."

"Sir, I promise that although there are not many enemies, the entire enemy's army is not on the city wall. They still have sufficient reserves!"

"I know," said Ashu Rufate. "I think the enemy's plan is to allow the army to enjoy the killing and fighting. They will not be replaced until they lose their combat effectiveness due to fatigue."

Gande nodded. It seemed like this, because he had been fighting for a long time, but there was no sign of large-scale military dispatch at the city wall. In addition, this practice was also in line with the spleen and stomach of the terrorist believers.

"If you do this, a gap will be created." Ashu Rufate said. "The accumulation of fatigue is inevitable. There will be a time... the combat effectiveness of soldiers has decreased due to the accumulation of fatigue, but they themselves are still trapped in bloodthirsty fanaticism and refuse to be replaced..."

The military books have clear records about defending the city. With sufficient troops, the correct strategy for defending the city is to replace the soldiers before they are exhausted to maintain combat effectiveness. But obviously, Xingke did not realize this. Some things she took for granted, and perhaps she did not realize one thing, that is, no matter how fanatical fighting spirit is, it cannot replace sufficient physical strength.

It is feasible to let a person suddenly have powerful power, at least the improvement of most Chaos believers is completed in a short period of time. But if a person suddenly has military talent - if such a thing is really happening, then wouldn't Chaos have conquered the whole world - at least all human beings - long ago?

"I understand. Now everything is a war of attrition. The key is... Is the time not here?"

"It's still early." Ashu Rufat looked at the battle on the city. His eyesight was far superior to that of the mortals, so he could see that the enemy troops on the city were full of energy and full of passionate fighting spirit. This is very common for terror believers.

"I don't want to delay for too long," said Ashu Rufate. "There is only one chance, before the enemy realizes this and corrects it... launch a decisive offensive!"

He smiled and looked at Gander. "I will climb the city myself!"
