Day 55

Strong siege ladders successfully laid on the battlements of the Slans. Portland soldiers holding swords and shields in one hand howled and climbed towards the top of the city.

"Spike! Spike! Spike! Use force, bastard, don't stop, whoever stops will die!"

Lei Ze, the commander of the city defense battalion in Lian City, ran back and forth in the rain of arrows with a tower shield, and occasionally hit the soldiers who were uneasy.

Under normal training and the rebukes from the commanders, the soldiers of the city defense camp gathered in the areas where the siege ladders were laid on the ground, and several spears stabbed in turn, and several shields were pressed tightly on the battlements to resist the rain of arrows shot by the Portlanders.

Not only ordinary bows and arrows, but also crossbow arrows as thick as forearms. After being fired by a huge crossbow, five steel arrowheads can be easily inserted into the city wall for those agile swordsmen to step onto the city wall.

If this powerful heavy crossbow arrow hits a person, it can directly knock the person out of the city wall and fall into the city from afar.

Cans of tincture oil were thrown down by the soldiers of the city defense camp guarding the city, and even smashed on the siege ladder. The flames like maggots with bones made the Portlanders cry and howl. Some soldiers with fire on their bodies fell down the ladder, or rolled at the top of their lungs under the city wall until they were burned alive. The alchemy tincture oil added with ingredients was not so easy to extinguish.

Although the city defense battalion's troops were far less powerful than the incoming Portland army, it was able to maintain the situation with the help of the tall and thick city walls and the fifth-level swordsman Lei Ze tried his best to maintain the situation.

The Portlanders' first round of impact was soon attacked by the soldiers of the City Defense Battalion, and for this, they paid two moving arrow towers and hundreds of Portlanders' bodies mixed with a few Slan City Defense soldiers under the city.

Except for two or three flame bombs that hit the walls of Delian City, the magicians on both sides did not have the firepower to open up. They tried each other for a few times before stopping, allowing the soldiers to fight to the death on the top of the city.

"Master Mosrig! The first regiment suffered 316 casualties! Six siege ladders were lost, two arch towers were lost, and 11 siege crossbows were lost."

The recorder in charge of battlefield statistics reported the casualties as soon as possible, and sent someone to report them to Bancroft, the commander of the Central Army's tent.

"I understand. The first regiment will be replaced by the auxiliary attacker, and the second regiment will be replaced by the number of siege ladders!"

This result was long ago as expected by Captain Mosrig, the Second Division of the Portland "Overlord Lion" Legion. After a moment of rest, the second round of attack began again. He did not want to give the Slans more chance to breathe.

"As for orders, sir!"

The war drums rumbled tightly, and the long horns resounded throughout the sky. The orderly Second Division began to dispatch troops. The soldiers lined up to the battlefield, pulled out the snow-white blade, and flashed brightly in the sun, with murderous aura soaring into the sky.

The first row of soldiers roared and charged on the siege ladder, followed closely behind.

The Portlanders' offensives followed like a tide, with soldiers gathering at the bottom of the siege ladder, and some brave archers even approached the city wall to launch precise scattered shootings. Some unprepared Slan City defenders screamed and fell down the city wall.

One side rushed towards the wall desperately, and the other side filled the attack point with human lives. From the beginning of the battle, both sides were stuck, and siege ladders were constantly laid on the city wall.

The site selection of the city of Lean itself has certain military significance. The hills attached to it have two sides of the terrain. There is no problem with ordinary civilians entering, but it is not suitable for large corps to deploy, making it more difficult to organize sieges. Therefore, the focus of the Portlanders' attacks was on the east and north, especially on the east, while the city walls on the north were harassed by feint attacks and cold arrows.

The rigid textbook-style tactics are not useless. As a tough guy, you can advance or retreat, and the initiative is completely in their hands. Therefore, in addition to being justified, there are very few loopholes and flaws, forcing the defending Slans to fight them head-on.

In just a few battles, I could still hold on in one breath. Over time, the disadvantage of insufficient troops inevitably broke out.

"After notifying you, kill a few more bulls to add food to the soldiers. If you have enough spices, put as much as possible. If you don't have enough, go to my housekeeper Asa. He will give the chefs enough spices!"

Mosrig, who was energetic and promised to reward the soldiers with expensive spices, could imagine what kind of welcome and glory he would receive when the war ended, and those wealthy girls would still be thrown into their arms and hugged them.

This trip of gilding will turn into real gold, and he will be looked up and admired by young people in the aristocratic circle of the capital.

Mosrigg smiled proudly while the iron was hot!

"Damn it! This Bird's boy didn't expect that he could catch the rhythm!"

The first division's ten thousand men's commander Van dergarh's battlefield experience and vision were also extremely experienced. He had seen the situation on the field, and the balance was tilting towards the second division led by the young noble.

The Slanes who were defending the city had gradually exposed their shortcomings. If they had known this, he would have snatched the mission from the Legion Commander Bancroft.

Maybe it only takes half a day, no, it takes only one offensive to defeat this Slamic city.

"Sir, these Slans are really vulnerable. Lord Mosrig has good luck, but the Slans' city has not been completely broken. Maybe in the end, you will have to rely on your actions."

Avernor Eiffel, the tenement commander of the First Division, could see that his boss was very unhappy and carefully accompanied him with good words.

"Haha, Aifel, you are indeed becoming more and more able to speak."

Van dergarh was in a better mood, smiling and shaking her head, and continued to watch the battlefield.

Flattery is flattery, but Aifel is not wrong. Any accident can happen before the final lock of the victory balance.

The first day of the battle was definitely an extremely tormenting day for Lian City on the eastern border of the Slan Empire. Every Slan who participated in the attack on the Portlanders felt that life was like a year.

No one expected that at sunset, the Portlanders launched an unprecedented offensive again. A piece of the city wall failed. Dragon Knight Lin Mo and Martial Noble Hos rushed up immediately. Two war air arc slashes with different elemental attributes directly plowed blood waves among the Portland soldiers attacking the city wall.

In just a dozen breaths, the lost wall section was taken back, but it also sounded the alarm for Liancheng.

Advanced combatants may be able to improve local dangers, but they cannot completely change the entire battle situation.

"Lt. Col. Lin Mo, this city can only last until tomorrow's sunset! You'd better make a decision earlier."

The Gemini sister, who could have retreated into the city with the city lord Baron Hong Yu and others, still insisted on staying on the city wall. On the one hand, she hated the lustful and shameless city lord Baron, and on the other hand, she collected combat data on the spot to evaluate the world's military power.

After all, military technology is different. Firearm war and cold weapons and magic war may be similar in strategy, but when it comes to tactics, they are completely different.

As my sister said, she was doing intelligence operations for the Slans on the defense, doing the best intelligence analysis for the Lieutenant Colonel Dragon Knight who could not even get back from the ten bulls, and maintaining the situation he wanted as much as possible.

She was under great pressure, and she felt unprecedented difficulties like her sister, including reconnaissance satellites, reconnaissance aircraft, fire support, and special service combat troops to respond... All of these were not there.

The only thing you can rely on is your facial features and brain.

On the city wall where the battle is still fierce from time to time, the only thing that can protect oneself from safety is to hide behind the battlements carefully, and the automatic rifle behind it can only be used at critical moments. In addition, there is only the small combat crossbow in your hand.

"Tomorrow's sunset? Is there no other way?"

The Dragon Knight frowned at the on-site assessment that the Gemini sister came over via radio call.

According to his original estimate, Lian City should be able to last at least five days, so that it would be enough to wait for the reinforcements of the empire. No matter how bad the civilians in the city could arrange for an orderly retreat. Unexpectedly, the analysis results given by the Gemini sisters were less than half.

"If there is, my sister and I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

Li Mubing observed outside the city wall, and the damn Portlanders were still attacking like mad dogs, without any intention of stopping.

The other party seemed to rely on the large number of people and deliberately used wheels to fight the soldiers guarding the city in Lian City to death.

The comparison of troops between the enemy and us was so huge that the attacking side had to surrender ten times with one force, and with the old-fashioned dogmatic tactics, the Slans who were on the defense had no temper.

In fact, the analysis results of the Li sisters are infinitely close to the final result, and they are not even inferior to the analysis results of the "Dark Night" Special Service Brigade Staff Team. The title of "Dark Night Gemini" is not a false reputation.

"Okay, it seems that you can only implement the beheading tactic."

Naturally, it was clear what would happen next when Lian City was captured, so Lin Mo certainly would not sit still and wait for death.

On the day when the city is broken, let alone those twin sisters, even he himself is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself.

"Behead?"

"Behead!"

The Gemini sisters were surprised at the same time in the communication channel.

While evaluating the combat effectiveness and deductions of the Portlanders and Slanes, they both forgot that Lin Mo could almost match the combat effectiveness of a combat squadron in the combat sequence of the "Dark Night" Special Service Brigade.

Beheading is the specialty of special forces.

"feasible!"

If it were normal, Gemini sister Li Muxin might not support this idea, but there is a great possibility here.

High-tech war equipment of the level of "Dragon General" does not have any combat energy or magic fluctuations. It is a completely feasible solution to use the cover of night to carry out the beheading tactics of lurking assassination.

Even if you fail to succeed, at least you can temporarily suspend the crisis in this city. It would be good to delay the moment when the city was broken for one more day.
