Chapter 974 Under the City Wall

A strong and lingering stench permeated the head of the new city, hurting oneself before hurting others.

Although there is a wet cloth as a cover, it is still quite uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, the Hecheng army had already arrived at the city.

Chen Fang immediately ordered to let the shooter and the awakened ones with long-range attack energy consume a wave of enemy troops first.

The dense arrows and long-range skills overwhelmingly covered the Hecheng army below.

"Raise the shield."

The commanding officer in front of Hecheng shouted, and the soldiers put their shields on their heads to block the falling arrows and skills.

But only a thin layer of iron is embedded on the surface, the main body of the shield is wood, the defense is really limited, many unlucky soldiers were directly pierced by the arrows, or directly smashed the shield under the bombardment of skills, hurting the vitals And took the lunch box.

With the continuous attack of the Xincheng city, the front of the river city began to suffer a large number of casualties, and because of the barrier of the moat, they were unable to advance an inch, which only increased the casualties.

This kind of situation where they could only be beaten to death passively made the soldiers in the front line fearful and retreated.

"All soldiers with steel shields go to the front row to form a shield wall."

"Send a group of shooters up to cooperate with the attack on the opponent's city."

Seeing that the casualties continued to increase, and the soldiers in the front began to show instability and timidity, Heles, who was watching from behind, immediately made a decision. The general specially created the most elite shield soldiers for defense and sent them to the army. go up.

Also let the shooters on their side counterattack to reduce the fire suppression on Xincheng's side.

When these soldiers with strong shields headed forward to form a shield wall, and after the shooters counterattacked, the damage of the soldiers on the river city side plummeted immediately.

With the defense of the fine steel shield soldiers and the attack of the archers, the front line was considered to be stable.

"Quick, throw the sandbag into the river for me."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commanding officers at the front urged the soldiers to pass the soil bags dug from the site behind and throw them into the moat in order to fill in a path for crossing the river.

With the efforts of thousands of people in the rear, the soil bags were transported to the front line one by one and thrown into the moat.

The earth bag fell into the river, triggering the plant bomb in the river, and under the explosion, a root tip pierced the water and came out.

But because of the angle problem, many of the spikes shot towards the sky and missed, and only some spikes with a good angle just shot towards the shore.

However, with the shield wall composed of fine steel shields, only a few spikes passed through the gaps between the shields and injured the people behind, causing very little casualties.

As bags of earth continue to flow into the river, a road is being opened to the city wall.

On the city wall of the new city, Chen Fang saw this scene and said to Mei Mei beside him:

"Remember, looking for Yaya after the war depends on whether there are sea mine plant bombs that explode more powerfully and explode after being pressed by a certain weight, and put them on the bottom of the river."

Mei Mei nodded and took out a booklet to record it. At the same time, she secretly admired Chen Fang for not forgetting to observe carefully during the battle, to find out the omissions of the existing defense system in actual combat, and to propose solutions.

Below, with the filling of the soil bags, passages across the moat appeared, and the Hecheng army began to advance again.

There is still a 50-meter-wide space between the moat and the city wall. There are also plant bombs planted with many sprouts here. As the soldiers from the river city came ashore and touched these plants, explosions continued to occur.

"ah!"

During the explosion, the screams of Hecheng soldiers continued to be heard.

Broken arms and limbs, unrecognizable corpses, some were pushed into the river in the explosion waves, detonated the mine plants in the river again, and once again caused damage to the soldiers of Hecheng walking on the river crossing channel piled up with earth bags. Not a small casualty.

And this wave of explosions frightened the soldiers in front of Hecheng who could cross the river, and they only wanted to escape for their lives.

But at this time, they couldn't escape. The passage on the river was full of people, and there were things shooting spikes in the river.

The battle in front of Hecheng was bleak, and there were already a lot of casualties just after approaching the city wall.

At the rear of Hecheng, Heles frowned. He didn't expect that the small city in front of him not only had high walls and thick walls, but also laid out many traps. He paid a heavy price for his army to get under the walls. .

A high-ranking officer on the side looked at the soldiers who kept dying, estimated the number of casualties, and whispered to Heles:

"My lord, the soldiers in front may have lost almost ten thousand people."

Heles said coldly: "And then?"

Seeing that Heles' tone was extremely cold, the officer was at a loss for words. He didn't dare to say what he wanted to say next.

The casualties were huge, Heles naturally saw it, and what the officer wanted to express was nothing more than seeing the heavy casualties, and wanted to persuade him to retreat and rest first, and then figure out how to attack this unique city. Fight again.

But at this time the siege had already begun, and it was impossible for Heles to order a retreat because of losses.

If you retreat, not only will the morale of the soldiers, which was already low, drop again, but if the opponent retreats and rests on his side, trying to figure out a way, if they make up for the traps that have been eliminated by the death of a large number of soldiers, then Wouldn't it be necessary to pay a lot of casualties? If you really want to do this, how many people will die? It's better to just retreat home.

In the case of a large number of casualties in the front line, Heles did not make any tactical adjustments and arrangements, as before, but urged the front army to continue to advance.

Under the pressure of the front row soldiers who had no choice but to retreat and had no choice but to die one after another, all the pre-arranged plant bombs in the city of Xincheng were detonated.

Now every inch of the ground under the city walls of the new city is covered with corpses of soldiers from Hecheng, and the moat is also covered with floating corpses.

After paying a heavy price, the soldiers of Hecheng finally stood under the city wall, and then sent specially lengthened ladders to the city wall. As the ladders were erected on the city wall, the battle of ascending the city kicked off.

At the same time, in addition to climbing the wall ladder, at the gate of the new city, the Hecheng soldiers who landed cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge on the river bank and lowered the suspension bridge. Under the escort of a team of refined steel shield soldiers, three small core energy cannons He was pushed to the opposite gate, ready to bombard the alloy city gate made of metal mined in the small world on the new city side.

On the city wall of the new city, Chen Fang was ordering the soldiers not to push down the ladders on the city wall, and was ordering to pour the golden juice that had been prepared for a long time down the city.

The soldiers who were fed up with the stench of golden juice received the order, and without saying a word, they overturned the special cauldron and gave the scalding dung to the soldiers in Hecheng below the city.

Hurrah, the steaming golden juice poured down and sprinkled on the soldiers of Hecheng, but because the city wall was too high, the golden juice was poured and scattered, and the effect was not very good, except for the unlucky people Most of the people were just splashed a little bit and got a little bit burnt after being smeared in the face by the heat.

After seeing the effect of the golden juice on the city wall, Chen Fang twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"Remember, if the city wall is too high, the golden juice will be a pit."

Chen Fang was annoyed by this failure.
