King’s Kingdom

Sir Taylorin shouted frantically, and in order to set an example for the warriors on the city wall, he was the first to stand up, draw the military bow, and shoot an arrow at the Varangian warriors below.

Death is terrifying, and it is even more terrifying to fight back against the enemy's arrows, but everyone is even more afraid of being tortured to death. After trying hard to overcome the fear in their hearts, arrows began to shoot down the city wall.

Facing the arrows of the defenders, the Varangian warriors were helpless, bowing their heads and advancing silently. The armor on their bodies gave them great courage. When they didn't have armor before, they would not be afraid to fight. Now they have such a sophisticated armor. Defensive measures, how can you be afraid?

This gave the archers on the well a chance. Their arrows were very cunning. They crossed the battlements at various angles and landed on the defenders.

Hearing the constant shrill voices, the soldiers on the city wall let out a scream from time to time, and then fell to the ground.

The power of the elf bow is so great that even the iron chain armor can't prevent it at all. Basically, as long as the arrow hits it, even if it doesn't kill you, you will lose the ability to fight.

However, even so, the defenders on the city wall still did not retreat, but continued to shoot the soldiers under the city with arrows, and at the same time counterattacked the archers on the well.

However, unfortunately, the military bows in their hands could neither reach the archers 250 meters away nor penetrate the armor of the Varangian warriors, which was completely useless.

Sir Taylorin's expression was solemn, and he immediately issued an order to stop shooting. In just two or three minutes, more than forty soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground. This way, the fighting force of defending the city would become less and less.

Without the threat from the city wall, the Varangian warriors moved much faster, erected the ladder on the city wall very quickly, and then climbed up at a very fast speed.

Sir Tayloring has been keeping an eye on the situation below. Every ten seconds, he will change his position to stick his head out to observe, to avoid being hit by the arrow and being attacked by the enemy.

"Quick! The brothers throw stones! They have set up the ladder!" Sir Taylorin shouted immediately after seeing the situation below, he told the defenders to stop shooting just not wanting to do useless work, he was ready to give up the arrow blow, Instead, all the manpower was put into the stone defense.

The Varangian warriors climbed up step by step, holding a mace in the right hand and a shield in the left.

"Glory, money!" A tall Varangian warrior turned his head up, his heart was full of longing for honor, money, and land. He used to be precarious, not starving but had to endure cold days again. I don't want to go back either.

In his opinion, the city wall in front of him is no longer a city wall, but an obstacle in front of prosperity and wealth. As long as he crosses over and climbs the city wall, everything will be at his fingertips.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" He used both hands and feet to climb faster and faster.

Just when he was only five or six steps away from the battlement, he suddenly found a shadow over his head.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that the vision in front of him was completely blurred and distorted, blood-red light appeared on the cornea, and rotated several times under the weightlessness, and then he became unconscious with a thud.

The falling rock gave the Varangian warriors a head-on blow at the first time, but in an instant, more than 30 warriors rolled down from the ladder.

Theodosius' heart twitched when he saw such a painful price, and the Varangian Guards under his command would probably be exhausted soon, after all, their replenishment rate was very slow.

The Varangian warriors kept climbing, and the stones on the city wall kept falling. They raised the shields tied to their left hands to resist the attack of the falling stones.

This effectively reduces the number of deaths. Even if a heavy stone falls from the ladder, you will not be killed on the spot. Although there is a very high risk of death if you fall on the ground, even if you do not die, your bones will be broken, but it is always better than It's better to die directly.

Theodosius no longer looked at the attack in front of him, but turned his attention to another siege point not far away.

It was Earl Spencer who was in charge of commanding the attack.

In the last decisive battle with the rebels, the performance of Count Spencer caused Theodosius to have some doubts.

There is no problem with this person on the system panel. Although the opinion of Seventy is not as high as that of Count Camota and others, as many as one hundred and fifty, at least he does not see any malicious intent.

It's just that as a king, Theodosius has already contracted a lot of suspicion. With his battle experience, he should not make such a low-level mistake. Combined with the previous speculation that there may be loopholes in the interior, Di Odosi decided to focus on watching him.

He also hopes that he is suspicious, but if such a powerful person has problems, it will be a great harm. He does not want to have a major crisis at a critical moment because of this kind of thing.

This time, it will be a great opportunity to observe Earl Spencer, depending on how he behaves.

However, what surprised Theodosius a little bit, there was nothing unusual about Count Spencer's behavior, and the siege operations were done step by step, and he couldn't find any faults.

"It's normal this time..." Theodosius frowned, thinking about why Count Spencer made such a mistake last time.

After thinking for a while, he had no idea~www.readwn.com~ Theodosius could only give up, but he secretly raised his guard against Count Spencer in his heart.

As a king, being suspicious is a must-have trait, and a monarch who is not suspicious has long been killed by his courtiers.

Theodosius withdrew his gaze, the other points of attack were just feints, and his own position was the main point of attack.

Looking at the Varangian warriors who fell from time to time, Theodosius drank the zodiac. Four or five minutes passed, and nearly a hundred Varangian warriors fell off the ladder, and they even had the battlements. Neither side was touched.

It's impossible to go on like this. If you continue to waste people's lives like this, I'm afraid that the Varangian Guards will not be able to knock down the city wall in front of you. You must make a change.

Theodosius thought so.

"Order the soldiers to reduce the density of the siege. Only one person will go up for each attack. The others will shovel snow to the surrounding of the ladder, and spread the extra armed clothes. The archers on the well are divided into four groups to suppress the city wall. The defenders above, change the batch after three rounds of shooting!" Theodosius said to a herald next to him.

There is nothing inherently wrong in fighting a deadly battle against a fortress, but that is for the government of a big country with deep pockets. Theodosius is now just a barbarian king of a small northern country, and he has no capital to fill the city with human life. Every powerful warrior and Effective combat power is an indispensable resource for him.

Theodosius no longer had any hope of conquering the city wall in one fell swoop. He wrongly estimated the will of the defenders to fight. The behavior of the defenders in the previous castles made him underestimate the cruelty of the siege battle.

He has changed his goal from immediately destroying the city to depleting the enemy's physical strength and stone stock first. They can never be monsters with infinite physical strength, nor can they be inexhaustible stones.
