Chapter 934

This unexpected situation did not make Du Yuanzhi chaotic.

I saw that he directly took over the command of the Gaoling City Wall, and then shouted loudly...

"Don't worry about anything else, all the three-bow crossbows will focus on attacking the siege crossbow and catapult on the opposite side. The return cannons will be replaced with gravel shotguns, and the target will be the enemy's main force!"

"At the same time, the archers and crossbowmen are ready. As soon as the main force on the opposite side enters the firing range, they will start to suppress the fire!"

Du Yuanzhi's order made the soldiers on the wall find the backbone at once.

The opponent's 'big push' siege method, to put it bluntly, is disrupting them, and at the same time putting pressure on them, so that the soldiers on the wall who operate the defense equipment don't know which one to fight.

It's easy to crack, as long as you hold on to it.

Soldiers will come to block, water will come to cover, as the defenders of the city, they themselves have the advantage of the city wall, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

The closer the distance, the official start of this war!

Above the wall of Gaoling City, a three-bow crossbow opened fire frantically, trying to destroy the enemy's siege equipment that wanted to threaten them.

Such a targeted style of play gave way to Owen, who clearly realized that his 'big push' did not seem to have much disruptive effect on the defending force in front of him.

But it doesn't matter. It's a big deal to fight hard. He is quite confident in his siege army.

The three-bow crossbows on both sides are carrying out crazy long-range strikes against each other.

For a while, it's hard to say who has the upper hand.

During this period, the main force of the Europa people also held their shields high and steadily advanced towards Gao Ling City.

After waiting for the opponent's main force to enter their range, the return cannons placed on the top of the Gaoling City Wall finally opened fire. .

At the same time, the archers and goblin crossbowmen on the wall were also not to be outdone.

I have to say that this long-range firepower is simply amazing, which made Owen, who was full of confidence, put a pressure on him.

But that wasn't enough to scare him.

The infantry troops under his command are basically composed of large shield soldiers and shield and axe soldiers who have both offensive and defensive balance.

Each soldier is equipped with iron-clad shields, helmets and other armor, all of which are designed to allow them to rush to the wall against the opposite long-range fire.

As long as the distance is shortened to that point, the opposing rear troop will basically be useless.

Of course, before that, his own rear troop will spare no effort to cover the main troop!

"Archer troops, all shoot arrows, suppress the wall!!"

Owen shouted in a heavily accented Europa.

The swept arrow rain flew directly towards the wall of Gaoling City.

At the same time, the catapult that entered the attack range also began to throw huge boulders quickly, and in the process of bombarding the opposite city wall, it kept making violent muffled noises.

"Do you need me to lead troops out of the city to meet them?"

Seeing the intruders rushing closer and closer outside the city, Guo Zhen quickly asked Du Yuanzhi.

"We don't need it for the time being. The invaders' forces have overwhelmed us. Going out of the city to meet them will inevitably cause a lot of casualties. It is more beneficial to us to defend the city wall."

While speaking, Du Yuanzhi quickly ordered the soldiers beside him.

"Be prepared to throw logs and sparring stones, and pay attention to the ladders on the opposite side!"

In the time he spoke, the enemy's main force had already rushed to the city.

Above the wall, the soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time, decisively followed Du Yuanzhi's instructions and greeted them with rolling logs and beating stones.

During this period, the other side's ladders were also put on the wall in large numbers.

The first reaction of the soldiers who noticed this was to push the ladders down.

However, the truth is not so simple.

They found that one end of the ladder was fixed with a metal hook. When it was placed on the wall, the hook was like a claw.

In addition, there are several soldiers supporting the ladder below, and it is not so easy to push down the ladder for a while.

The Europa soldiers were holding their shields in one hand and climbing quickly on the ladder, making them look like agile monkeys, and in a short period of time, they approached the war-torn wall.

Du Yuanzhi, who was aware of this situation, naturally hurriedly signaled the infantry troops on the wall to rush up to meet them.

With a large number of ladders, a large number of Europa soldiers rushed to the wall, and a melee on the wall began.

The whole situation has completely fallen into a stalemate of mutual consumption.

This fierce siege battle continued until the evening, when the invaders temporarily retreated.

The night was getting darker, and the battle meeting room of the Gaoling City barracks was still lit by fire.

Du Yuanzhi frowned and looked at the post-war statistics in front of him.

It stands to reason that after such a fierce siege battle, the casualties of the opposing siege troops should be absolutely small.

However, the fact is completely inconsistent with Du Yuanzhi's expectations.

In the process of cleaning up the battlefield after the war, he found that the number of corpses of enemy soldiers was much less than he expected!

"Iron skin..."

At this moment, Du Yuanzhi was holding a helmet of an enemy soldier.

The moment he started, he could clearly feel a metallic texture.

According to the artisans in the city, the enemy was wrapped in a layer of iron on the armor.

This approach is not complicated, but it is effective to increase the defensive capabilities of these armors.

In this battle, the main reason for the small number of casualties on the other side is obviously this.

And this is indeed the case. Owen attaches great importance to the "defense" of soldiers, or their survivability on the battlefield.

A soldier, only alive can create value, what is the use of death?

It is precisely because of this concept that the army under his command is basically dominated by shield soldiers.

At the same time, although it was already night, the intruder's wild camp was still bright.

The engineers who went out with the army were repairing the siege equipment damaged during the day overnight.

Medics are also treating wounded soldiers.

In the tent, the heavy armor was taken off. At this time, Owen was eating military rations while frowning at the casualty report in his hand.

The casualties in this first round of siege battles were higher than he expected.

The firepower of the defending city on the opposite side is indeed a bit fierce.

This time, I might have picked a hard bone.

But this first match was just a tentative outpost for him.

While feeling the details of the opponent, it is his purpose to consume the resources of the defending city on the opposite side.

This is a one-month war.

You have to look a little farther and count backwards step by step.

And this wave of killers is clearly still in his hands now!
