Rise In Calradia

Chapter 142: : Battle of Gruen Wardburg (Part 2)

   "Give me all!"

Brandishing a mace, Byron led the soldiers behind him up the ramp leading to the city gate. They gathered together, except for the people in the first row, raising their shields above their heads to protect those pushing the ram and The soldiers on the ladder kept approaching the gate of the castle.

   The crossbowmen on both sides were still shooting at each other across the curved aisle that was only five meters wide and more than fifty meters long, while the attacking soldiers were constantly being consumed on the slope.

   This is also a big natural barrier in Gruen Wardburg. There is no need for a moat here. The mountains on both sides are the guards of the castle, and the only way through the castle is this **** slope!

   When Byron and the others were advancing, in addition to the frontal enemy, they kept shooting at them in the other three directions.

  The heavy crossbow bolts can directly penetrate the thickened chain mail. Most Swadia failures cannot withstand this level of damage.

   Crossbow arrows were shot from all directions, and Byron’s shield was quickly filled with crossbow arrows. Swadia’s stone thrower was activated again, and the stones continued to smash against the walls of Gruenward Fort, smashing large pieces of debris on the thick walls. Some of the stones also hit the towers where soldiers were stationed, destroying one end of the tower, and the soldiers who were stationed fell from the top of the building.

   In the rain of arrows from both sides, Byron and the others finally got close to the wall. The number of the first group of siege troops who fell in this process has exceeded one hundred.

   "Ladder!"

A knight who was also in charge of commanding a brigade yelled, and the soldiers who carried the ladder immediately erected the ladder, and the crossbowmen on Swadia's side also began to focus their shots, letting the ladder to be placed by Rodok. The soldiers had no chance to push down the ladder.

At the gate of the city, the battering ram was also ready. The car was parked in front of the gate. The huge iron-clad wood was constantly hitting the gate of the castle under the push of six light infantrymen, while the surrounding soldiers It is to raise a shield to protect them from being shot by a crossbow.

   "The Yankees are here, throw the stone down!"

   Seeing Byron and the others approaching, the Rodok soldiers at the head of the city quickly took out head-sized stones from the baskets placed at intervals on the city wall, and then smashed them down at the people underneath.

   A Swadia light infantry was directly hit in the head, even if he was wearing a helmet, it was of no avail, and he directly lost his life.

   The surrounding soldiers quickly raised their shields to block the stones. But at this time, the crossbowmen on both sides fired crossbow arrows at them again. The shields were held above their heads, and the lack of protection of the chest and abdomen became targets, even if they were wearing chain armor or even plate armor, in heavy crossbows or even siege crossbows. Under a sniper, he would also be pierced directly into the internal organs, and then fell to the ground due to pain.

   "Zzizizi...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

While Byron was hiding in the crowd and commanding the siege, a few cauldrons suddenly appeared on the wall, and then the pot was dumped, the hot oil fell directly, and the mercenaries who pushed the ram to hit the city gate were splashed. All over, and then the miserable cry pierced everyone's ears.

   They dropped their helmets and their bodies were blood red. They lay on the ground rolling and struggling frantically, exhausting all their strength to take off the thermally conductive armor on their bodies.

   The blood vesicles on their bodies were so crippled that even Elaine, who was rushing forward, stopped, hurriedly raised the shield, and looked at the top of his head warily.

   Byron felt terrified, his body began to tremble, and his legs were a little unwilling.

   "If that thing poured on me..."

  Byron shuddered, and the warm current that had appeared once again flowed through his body.

   Most of his complacency has disappeared. He gritted his teeth and commanded the soldiers behind to take the injured away, and commanded people to fill the vacancy in the battering ram.

   But at this time, a lot of black slime was dumped from the wall by the Rhodoks and spilled on the battering ram and surrounding soldiers.

  Byron knew that thing. In his day, road construction always had to be covered with this thing.

   "It's pitch, get away!"

   When the soldiers heard Byron's words, they all shot a spirit on their bodies, and then fled from there in a hurry.

   Soon, the rocket fell from the city, and the wooden battering ram and the ground nearby were also swallowed by flames.

  'S plan to attack the city gate temporarily failed, and the surrounding troops also erected ladders on the edge of the city wall. The towering siege tower was also slowly pushed over from the curved **** surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

  The crossbowmen had already boarded the siege tower and shot at the Rhodok crossbowmen on the wall.

   Even if the first round of attacks did not go well, Earl Dilinard still let the rest of the troops launch an attack.

  Byron’s soldiers lost a lot in the attack just now, and they had little effect. However, just like the Earl Dilinard’s offensive plan, after being dispelled by that special force, he once again assembled the troops, led by Elaine, Kenrad, and Fatis to launch a new round. Offense.

  Byron didn't know that his previous "come and calm" behavior made Elaine look at him with admiration. After all, even he was the first time he saw such a tragic injury. As for Byron, not only did he slow down quickly, but he was still able to command the battle normally~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because of this misunderstanding, his position in Elaine's heart has improved a little...

   The attack may not be smooth, but the Kingdom of Swadia has a sufficient advantage in all aspects.

   The four siege towers were all pushed under the city wall. As the baffle lowered, the Rhodok spearmen also took up their spears and arranged a formation on the opposite side of the siege tower.

   The Swadia infantrymen, holding their kite-shaped shields, wielding warhammers and long swords, stepped onto the city head under the cover of their crossbowmen, and began a hand-to-hand battle with the Rhodok soldiers on the wall.

   The ladders were also constantly being erected. After the number took the advantage of the decision, the soldiers of Rodok could not tear down all the ladders.

   The stone throwers were still bombarding the towers on the walls, and those ballistas with a long range and great power always suppressed the Rhodok crossbowmen.

   The battlefield was very sleepy and rose to the wall, and the Peony mercenaries finally had a chance to attack the gate at this time.

   After hesitating again and again, Byron decided to use his secret weapon, which was the three small barrels of black powder he had brought over from Dehrim.

   Although the purity is average, the power is still not to be underestimated.

   Under the cover of dozens of soldiers, the soldiers transporting gunpowder finally put the beer barrels that their captain had repeatedly warned them to take care of at the gate of the city.

   Byron lit the flame, and then led the surrounding soldiers as far away from the city gate as possible.

   The Rhodok soldiers on the wall were very puzzled. They also fired a few rockets at the barrels, not even noticing the stupidity of their behavior.

   "Boom!"

   is accompanied by a thunderous loud noise, as well as terrifying flames and air waves. In the history of Calradia, gunpowder demonstrated its power on the battlefield for the first time.
