Volume 2: Southern Beacon Fire Chapter 166: Southern Beacon Fire (II)

Sartos Northern Fortress, Direntuk

The densely packed tents of Zhiva Cheze surrounded Dilentuk Fortress. On the narrow mountain road in front of the fortress wall, groups of siege soldiers carried makeshift long wooden ladders like a swarm of ants.

Along the narrow mountain road, waves of attacks were launched towards the fortress, which looked like moving ants from a distance.

The fortress was built on a very high terrain, with a steep cliff of hundreds of meters behind. There was only a narrow mountain road extending to the fortress gate, which made it impossible for the Zhiva Cheze people, who had superior strength, to deploy.

They can only rush up in groups. There are not many defenders in the fortress. However, on the narrow fortress wall, a dozen of Samoer's latest large-scale crossbow vehicles are lined up in a row, shooting at the enemies who rush up the mountain road. The people fell on their backs,

This large-scale crossbow vehicle is a large-scale fortress-specific crossbow vehicle developed by the Military Industry Research Institute after Fatty learned from the lack of heavy defense weapons in the fortress after the last battle of Kyoto.

The middle-end arrow slot of this kind of crossbow can be replaced according to defensive needs with a large iron-cone arrow slot for destroying siege equipment, and a scatter arrow slot for dealing with infantry group charges. Thirty armor-piercing arrows can be shot at a time. There is a special loading device for arrows. You only need to arrange the arrowheads and load them into the slots.

Fatty originally planned to use it in Kyoto. Because the situation in Kyoto was relatively stable, he gave priority to equipping the southern garrison. Unexpectedly, the Dardanelle family ran into this frightening weapon.

This is already the sixth charge today. Thousands of broken and torn corpses are scattered on the mountain road like fragments. Every time before they get close to the city gate, arrows rain down from the wall, and thick armor-piercing arrows are Even a shield cannot stop it,

"Hiss!" With a shrill scream, a Zhiva Cheze soldier was cut into two pieces by a whizzing armor-piercing arrow. Blood mixed with internal organs spattered on the faces of his companions around him, and his head and limbs were squeezed by the powerful impact. Pressed, scattered everywhere like an explosion,

All the soldiers in Zhiva Cheze were so frightened that their bodies became weak. Death was not terrible, but this way of death was too horrific. Each one of them would rather lower their head and hide behind the rocks. No matter how loudly the squadron leaders behind him screamed, they would not move.

"No, without a catapult, my troops can't charge forward!" Balantis, covered in mud and carrying his sword, angrily walked into the tent,

"The catapult will take ten hours to build! It will not be completed until the evening at the earliest," Tirango reminded with an unhappy face. "The Samoan reinforcements will appear at any time, and our time is very limited! Dardanirh Your Lord's main force is moving towards here. Are you ready to let your Lord Dardanirh see the falcon battle flag flying on the fortress? "

"Then what do you want us to do!" Balantis sat down on the chair unconvinced and shouted in a unique loud voice, "You haven't seen those arrow-spitting monsters on the top of the fortress. I have a heavily armored squadron." Go up and kill most of them in the blink of an eye. Those thick iron arrows can kill a bunch of people, but you don't see the blood."

The brave Batis shook his head with fear on his face. If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly just now, Battis himself would have almost died on the mountain road.

After hearing Balantis' description, the front line tent fell into dead silence. All the commanders looked at me and I looked at you. No one said a word. Even Balantis, the most brave general in the army, couldn't rush forward. Stop talking about yourself

The general leader Tirango's face was as solemn as water. It was not a glorious thing for 10,000 forwards to be blocked by a fortress of more than 1,000 people for two days.

Although I knew that the Samoers were a tough nut to crack, I didn't expect them to be so hard to crack. This army was completely different from the ones I had encountered before.

Even in a desperate situation, he was still not afraid of death. The envoy he sent to persuade him to surrender yesterday was directly shot into a hornet's nest by the crossbow arrows on the fortress. Time was running out. Samoer reinforcements would appear in front of him at any time. Tirango could He didn't want his army to make the same mistake as the noble army. Tens of thousands of noble troops were held back by a small fortress, causing the Samoers to reverse course.

"It seems that the only thing I have to do is beg him!" Tirango sighed helplessly. Although he was a little reluctant, he had no choice. His slender eyes looked at Olemite, who was closing his eyes and concentrating in the corner of the tent, and said softly. The voice was a bit flattering,

"I wonder if General Olemt, who has experienced hundreds of battles, has any good ideas?" As the original commander-in-chief of Zhiva Cheze, Olemt is a famous general in the southern part of the kingdom who has fought a hundred battles. Unfortunately, this is not the case. A staunch opponent of the First World War, the Dardanelle family deprived him of the title of commander and gave him the title of rookie Tirango.

This time Tirango took him with him as an adjutant, which was actually for surveillance. After all, Olemte had a high reputation in the Zhiva Cheze army, and Tirango also needed to use his reputation to command the entire army.

Seeing that Olemt was unmoved, Tirango continued, "Whether you are against this war or not, this is the family's decision. No matter what, the people who are dying now are the Zhiva Cheze people!"

Hearing Tirango's humble request for help, Olemite's eyes revealed a glimmer of light, and he said slowly

"Actually, this is not difficult. There are dense trees all around. We just need to send people to cut them down, arrange the trees together to form tree walls, and keep pushing them upward!"

"What a great idea!" Balantis stood up excitedly. "Leave this matter to me! I will arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Seeing the admiring eyes of everyone in the big tent looking at Olemmet, Tirango's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness.

Soon, the Zhiva Chetze soldiers once again pushed rows of huge wooden walls and began to move towards the fortress. Groups of Zhiva Chetze soldiers holding shields hid behind the wooden walls, and only waited until they approached the fortress gate to knock down the wooden rows. , use it as a siege ladder and rush up.

"Clang, clang" the arrowheads fired by the fortress crossbows were nailed to the wooden wall, unable to shake it. The wooden platoon slowly approached the fortress wall. The Samoyers on the wall began to panic. Groups of close combat infantry and crossbows Hands began to appear on the city wall, waiting for the enemy to approach and deliver a fatal blow.

"Wow!" The people behind the raft pushed the raft down at the same time. The raft tilted down and hit the crenellations of the castle wall with a "boom", creating a wide passage between the city wall and the mountain road.

"Kill! Kill those Samours for me!" Balantis held the siege shield in his hand and was the first to rush up to the fortress wall. A whistling sound passed by Balantis's ears. ,

The thick crossbow arrows shot through the soldiers on both sides. "Damn it!" Balantis was so frightened by the crossbow carts lined up on the city road not far away that he rolled back spinelessly.

A row of crossbow arrows passed through the head of Balantis with a strong wind, and the more than ten Zhiva chariot siege soldiers who rushed at the front were shot into rolling gourds. The people who rushed up from behind were also knocked over. land,

The dense rain of arrows covered it again, and the soldiers who rushed forward fell to the ground. The gap that had just been opened was blocked by a pile of corpses.

It turned out that when the fortress garrison saw that the ballistae was restrained, they immediately dragged the ballistae into the city road, lined up more than ten large ballistae vehicles, and faced the gap where the raft fell.

A large piece of the soldiers were cut off by the Ziva chariots that swarmed up. Other siege soldiers took advantage of the loading gap of the crossbow chariots and rushed up the fortress wall.

The spears of the fortress defenders and the flails of the siege soldiers were entangled. In the narrow gap, people were crowded, shields hit shields, and they were piled up in layers. The crossbowmen in the fortress arrow tower kept shooting down from high. deadly crossbow bolts,

"Come in and kill all the Samoers!" The heavily armored infantry captains waved their spears and shouted loudly. The Samoers resisted tenaciously. The three-meter spears in their hands, Coupled with the continuous shooting of the crossbows behind them, the Zhiva Cheze people paid a heavy price. Bodies were piled up more than one meter high at the battlements, and people kept tumbling down from the city walls.

However, there are only more than a thousand defenders in the fortress, and the Zhiva chariots rushing up from behind are pushing the pile of corpses in front of them. This greatly reduces the power of the crossbow chariots. If it were not for the help of the sniper crossbowmen from the arrow tower, they would have already been destroyed. The defense was breached

Just when the Riva Cheze people thought victory was in sight, loud bugles sounded from the fortress arrow tower, and the Samoer defenders ran away rudely. This made Riva Cheze who were still fighting just now People are confused. Please recommend, please collect
