Rise In Calradia

　　 Thousands of Swadia soldiers lined up in a square formation under Fort Gruen Ward and their shields were erected.

　　According to the different sequences, they lined up into fourteen brigades. In each brigade, there were 500 soldiers. According to Marshal Dilinard's arrangement, these fourteen phalanxes will attack five different areas of the city wall and take down the key points of the fortress.

The infantrymen stood in front of the team. They were holding long swords and warhammers, and holding a kite-shaped shield, ready to step onto the city wall with a rain of arrows at any time, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing garrison soldiers. The cavalry stood behind the team. They were well equipped, put down their lances and picked up maces and shields. Even in infantry, they could perform as well as heavy infantry. Of course, the lords will not waste precious cavalry. When they are needed to play, either the infantry has already taken the fort, or the battle is not going well and needs to retreat.

The crossbowmen on both sides have also set up their positions. Two square formations, a total of 1,000 Swadia crossbowmen of all levels, and 1,000 hired crossbowmen and militiamen who can use crossbow arrows have lined up under the wall. Up a straight line. The six hundred Rhodok crossbowmen remaining in the castle have also settled in every point of the city wall, and the crossbow arrows have all been wound.

　　 At the front of the team, Swadia’s engineers have erected fifty ladders. These tall ladders have fixed brackets under them. It takes a lot of effort to push them down.

　　 They also built four siege vehicles protected by animal skins and iron sheets with the parts shipped from the rear. The height of these siege vehicles was more than five stories, almost equal to the height of the city wall. When it is pushed under the city wall, the wide hanging board will be lowered, and the soldiers inside can directly ascend to the top of the city.

There are also the counterweight stone dump trucks that giants usually stand in the Swadia army. The parts of these expensive siege equipment were built in Uxhall and Suno and wrapped in large pieces of felt cloth. It took a month to be sent here by a carriage.

　　 When the engineers assembled them and conducted a test fire, the morale of Swadia’s army directly increased by one level. The soldiers believe that with the help of these big guys, they will be able to attack the city and win the high bounty.

　　Of course, there are also many crossbows that are mounted on carriages, and the same mounted on a carriage, it takes ten people to use a large siege ram. These are the weapons that Swadia used to siege the city this time.

　　 Byron’s peony mercenaries were organized into a separate queue. As usual, they and the other two teams were responsible for attacking the gate of the castle. This is the place with the highest casualty rate, and it is often not the first place to rush into the city to grab the credit.

　　 Mercenaries are always used as cannon fodder among the nobles, and Byron has been mentally prepared for this.

　　 However, Earl Dillinard still regarded him as valued, so he organized the peony mercenaries into a team and was directly ordered by himself. Except for the orders of the king and the marshal, Byron can be the master of battle command.

　　Byron led the Peony mercenaries in formation, just like other troops in the kingdom, he was also reluctant to put the dismounted cavalry in front. Even if these cavalry are dismounted, they are equal to half of his combat power.

　　 Mercenary infantry and mercenary swordsmen stood in front of the team, Swadia infantry and light infantry stood behind them with spears on their backs.

Mercenary crossbowmen, Vikia archers, Nord archers, Swadia militia, and many mercenary sentries equipped with crossbows, all stood with the crossbowmen of the kingdom troops and provided fire cover at the front of the team. .

　　 In the game, heroes, protagonists and lords are the same, and they will never die. In reality, Byron didn't dare to take a risk.

　　 Jamila and James don't need to participate in the offense, although Jamila is a bit dissatisfied with it.

　　The rest of the heroes, Byron added an extra layer of chain armor to them. It may be a bit cumbersome, but it can indeed save lives at critical times.

　　 Eleon still wanted to wield his Vekia Moonblade on the wall, but in order to avoid being shot by the crossbow bolt, Byron still required him to hold the shield until he waited on the wall or attacked the city gate.

　　 In addition, Byron also brought a secret weapon. If it doesn't work, maybe you can use it.

　　 All the soldiers are waiting for the order, whether it is their own or the opponent, they are waiting nervously for the order to attack.

　　 Twenty minutes passed, Byron began to feel a little anxious, and Elaine and Kress were also a little impatient.

　　Fatis is praying for the third time. After James came, his trust in religion has risen a lot.

　　 Bandak and Desaiwei are still waiting patiently. In this regard, they are better than Byron.

　　 Finally, Earl Dilinard wore this beautifully decorated full-body plate armor, rode an armored war horse, and brought a whole team of equally armed knights to the front of the team.

　　 The horn representing the offense also began to sound.

　　 "Warriors of Swadia, attack!"

　　 The roar of Count Dilinnard spread through the forwards of the army, and Byron and several other officers also gave orders.

　　 "The first to attack the city with a reward of 1,000 dinar! Peony mercenary, follow me!"

　　Byron pulled out the mace and rushed towards the city gate. But he played a trick and didn't charge too fast.

　　 So that the soldiers behind will soon pass him, and he can also leave the first soldier with the impression of being a pioneer.

　　Until he found a small problem, that is, the big buddies behind were too polite~www.readwn.com~ They all rushed into the opponent's crossbow arrow range, he was still the first!

　　 There is no way, he can only give up the idea of ​​running after installing X, put up his shield, and lined up with the people behind him to attack the gate.

　　 Swadia’s siege equipment also began to show off at this time. After pushing forward more than ten meters, dozens of ballistas fired crossbow arrows like short spears. The counterweight stone catapult at the rear also pulled the rope away, and as the counterweight box slammed backwards, the huge stones flew out directly and hit the city head of Gruen Ward.

The Rodok crossbowmen who were about to launch the crossbow hurriedly bowed their heads to avoid the huge crossbow bolts and stones that were flying over, watching the large spear-like crossbow bolts inserted into the ground stone bricks behind them, and the stones of the rappel were on the city wall. Smashed a few cracks.

　　 Several soldiers died in the attack, and seven or eight others were injured. However, the Rhodok soldiers were not scared by this level of attack. The catapult on the tower immediately counterattacked, and the dense rain of crossbow arrows directly covered the heads of several Swadia branches.

　　 Byron heard the muffled noise from the shield, and felt the shock from his arm. He also heard the sound of soldiers being shot and the sound of people falling to the ground. But even so, he couldn't stop. The opponent's crossbow arrows were fired in batches, one round after another, and when they had not finished shooting at all, they could only attack like this against the arrow rain.

　　 When Byron poked his head out of the shield, dozens of people had fallen among the nearby Swadi runners.

And the Swadia crossbowmen on the other side, although they were taken care of by the other party and caused a lot of casualties, they still held their shields and ran forward for dozens of steps, and then shot crossbow arrows at the Rhodok crossbowmen at the head of the city. .

　　 This time, the Rodok crossbowmen and guard soldiers on the wall fell several times.
