The Legend of Fatality
Chapter 373: Bane
On the siege position outside of St. Louis, Bane stood on a platform built by dwarves. He subconsciously moved away from several artillery pieces arranged on the platform. Holding a telescope to watch everything going to the battlefield.
The initial battle was for the area outside the city wall, and then for the city wall itself. Thanks to the dwarves occupying a considerable amount of the army, the siege progress is much faster than Bai En imagined. The Dwarf Underground Engineers first dug a trench parallel to the St. Louis City Defense, and then erected a wooden fence in front of the trench.
The second stage is to dig tunnels that extend like spider webs to the city walls. From the beginning, this work was very dangerous, even cruel. If it were not a dwarf, the poor tunnel engineer digs openly on the open ground. Fortunately, the artillery fire in St. Louis is not precise, and the dwarves also have their unique skills.
Dwarves are one of the few races that can actually carry out engineering operations at night. When defenders of ordinary cities face such out-of-city offensive projects, they will be killed from the city at any time to eliminate enemy tunnel engineers. The generals of St. Louis did the same, but were ambushed by the dwarves and lost many soldiers. If it wasn't for the night, Bai En even wanted to order the attack.
In the days that followed, the dwarves formed a team of muskets with about a hundred muskets from unknown sources, and crouched in the trenches to try to destroy the defenders that appeared on the battlements. The sound of the muskets bullying each other made Bai En feel unbelievable.
The excavation of the dwarves progressed rapidly. However, Bai En did not intend to let a large number of Goblins idle. He directed Goblin to move a mountain from a mile away, built a huge mound overlooking the city wall, and then placed a few on it. The artillery with the longest range of the gate bombarded the city.
The victorious balance seemed to be deflecting towards the Fatalin army bit by bit, but the general of the enemy admired Bai En deeply. The other party only actively took countermeasures. When the other party discovered that there were a large number of dwarfs in the Fatalin army, they began to build an ingenious monitoring device: the animal skin film was stretched on the wooden frame, and the bell was hung on it. This device is very sensitive, even the slightest vibration from the ground can make the bell ring.
With this device, the commander of St. Louis discovered two tunnels excavated by the dwarves and transported the gunpowder through the defensive tunnels, which not only exploded the tunnel but also buried the dwarves excavating the tunnel. This made the dwarf commander in the Fatalin army jump like a thunder and vowed to smash the enemy to pieces.
The dwarf's desire for revenge is extremely terrible, which makes Bai En tell himself in his heart that if it is not necessary, never provoke the dwarf. In order to retaliate, the dwarf general first paralyzed the garrison with artillery bombardment, and then organized a 20-man dwarf squad, taking advantage of a short period of time before dawn, without wearing armor, and rushed directly through the crossfire area to the city wall Next, he detonated an alchemy bomb and exploded a large hole about 30 feet away.
Then the dwarf infantry acted as forwards, and the Fatalin army flooded into the gap like a tide. The dwarves first built a simple bridgehead and put the flag of Fatalin on the top of the city wall. But the defending general directly sent the gunner to turn the cannon, bombarded the gap, and the residents of the town also participated in the counterattack, and even knocked down the buildings near the gap to block the Fatalin army, causing the Fatalin army to suffer heavy losses.
Bai En intended to take advantage of this opportunity to contact the Netska fleet and launch a general attack from the port and the gap to solve the enemy in one fell swoop. But shortly after he stepped on the wall, a shell hit the legs of the swamp demon who was in front of him with a shield to protect it. The shells not only interrupted the legs of the swamp demon, but also caused his unbalanced upper body to fall to Bai En , Hit Bai En directly down the city wall.
Although this accident caught Bai En by surprise, he still used his arms and legs to protect his important parts. Eventually he only suffered a back injury and had to lie in bed for a few days. However, the generals of St. Louis took the opportunity to use the incident of Baien's fall on the city wall to inspire the fighting spirit of the defenders. They shouted that the opposing coach was dead and rushed towards the gap. The injury to the commander of the Fatalin army not only affected the decision of the attack, but also overwhelmed many soldiers who heard the enemy shouting that the coach was dead. The dwarf generals commanding the army ahead had to order the Fatalin army to withdraw from the gap.
Baien, who was quickly rescued, was very dissatisfied. If it weren't for a trace of reason to tell him not to order the soldiers to die because of his anger, he might lie on the stretcher and shouted the whole army to charge. However, Bai En forced his apprentice Morris and the current guard captain Nokranstov to help him stand under the biggest battle of Fatalin ’s army and announced that he had not died, but was a stupid scam of the other party.
A few days in bed because of the injury, Bai En learned that the dwarves had become dissatisfied with the previous defeats. Similar emotions appeared in teams of other races. This time there were not many villages to loot, their income was very small, and several offensive defeats made them bored.
Bai En has no way to do so. If this kind of sentiment is suppressed, he may have a counter-effect, and he has to convene several commanders to discuss the time and the way of the attack. When the time for the decisive battle was finalized, the heralds announced to the whole army that they would start their final attack. Bai En soon gave a speech to the officers and soldiers, trying to inspire everyone to move forward. However, he was unable to lead the army offensive, and he could only build a viewing platform, from which he could personally watch the final attack.
The main attack was also before dawn, this time including Netska ’s fleet artillery support, which launched a large-scale artillery bombardment from two directions. In addition to part of Goblin as a barracks guard, Fatalin ’s army was put on the battlefield by Bai En.
Under the cover of the smoke, the swamp demon shaman and the group of mages under Bai En began to advance. The fog began to summon not far from the city wall. The fog completely obscured the sight of the defending army. The general of the defending city could only order the artillery to bombard the area outside the wall covered by the mist.
The swamp demon rushed to the city head with the mist, and the defender was caught off guard by the suddenly appearing monsters. Then the dwarves also began to occupy the city's head and inserted the flag of Fatalin. When the two giants of nearly 60 feet and the Ogan people suddenly appeared, this section of the wall defenders began to collapse and escape.
The defenders of the city successfully assembled the defenders, but the defenders in other places were shaken in the face of the emergence of giants. Especially those residents who took part in the battle to defend the city fled the wall and fled back to their homes. The residents fled the battlefield, leaving behind piles of wolves and **** rubble.
The troops assembled by the defenders tried to seize the city wall, but they encountered the flame storm released by the group of wizards who mounted the wall. The flame storm moved along this straight wall and burned everything along the way ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ At least hundreds of defenders turned into coke. Even after the spell ends, it cannot pass through because of the hot air and the ground.
Magic is the last straw to defeat the garrison's will. When seeing hundreds of comrades turn to ashes and coke under flame magic, mercenaries chose to surrender and escape in the first place. The general who had defended the city had to take the hundreds of defenders he had assembled to retreat to the castle in the city, and gave up all the other walls.
The battle on the city wall continued until noon, and the sporadic battles that followed continued longer. As dusk approached, when Bane climbed up the wall with Morris' support, most of the artillery that had been put together on the wall had been destroyed by the generals who had withdrawn into the castle before leaving.
Because the defenders still have enough vitality, and there are a large number of mercenaries and residents who participated in the battle of the defenders. The commanders of each team did not dare to order the looting, but waited for Bai En's next order. This caused Bane an unusual headache, the Earl's Castle in the city was extremely solid, and there was no good shooting angle from the outside.
The dwarf artillery captain calculated several suitable locations for the bombardment, which required the direct demolishing of the residents ’houses. This was not difficult, but the difficulty was to further control the city.
Bai En ordered two gates to be occupied, and then blocked other stairs that could climb the city walls. Mainly on two avenues, troops are sent to block all street junctions, and the city is divided into areas one by one according to the streets. Then build a bunker at the entrance of the street outside the Earl ’s Castle, turning the circle around the castle into a war zone.
Netska took the opportunity to occupy the port, but the road from the port to the city was too close to the Earl's Castle. Her troops were blocked in the port and could not enter the city, and the gunfire on the ship could not bombard the Earl's Castle. This allowed her fleet to carry out simple supplies and repairs.
