Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "Offensive!"

　　 Lu Wen leads Lu Wencheng, and the siege continues.

The army of Ramirez surrounded this city standing by the river. The corpses of countless soldiers lay on the pontoon that the siege party hurriedly built. This piece of water.

　　 "Defense with a shield!"

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers stepped onto the pontoons at the shouts of the officers. The defenders then fired their crossbows. They listened to the sour sounds of swishes, and the black and heavy rain of arrows flew to the Lamy on each pontoon. Reis soldiers, although these soldiers raised their shields in time under the command of the officers, there were still some unlucky soldiers who were shot by arrows at an angle and fell to the ground with a scream, struggling in pain.

These soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows can basically be regarded as outcasts. Without shield protection, they lie alone and helplessly in a pool of blood, feeling the heart-piercing pain from the wound and the strength of their whole body. The weakness that slowly disappeared from the wound-it's not over yet. On the dangerous battlefield, every shot of the defending crossbowman may let Liuya pass through the crowd and shoot the wounded again, making them more painful...or Yes, died on the spot.

　　 "Shoot!"

While the defending crossbowmen unscrupulously aimed at the siege soldiers, the Ramirez archers who had done the stupid thing of "protecting my enemy from smashing my allies" several times finally did it back. They should have done it. Things. Under the stern rebuke of the officer, a pile of Ramirez archers put up bows and arrows, and fired a black and heavy volley at the Luvin crossbow militia on the city wall, but the defenders were prepared for a long time, and there were a few sharp-eyed people. In the cry of, every soldier bends down and hides behind the solid battlements, letting their arrows strike the stone wall and then bounce off.

With the protection of the stone wall, the defending militia with crossbows had no casualties except for a few unlucky ones who were unable to dodge and were shot as hedgehogs. However, the intention of the Ramirez archer had been achieved. While the army was evading, the siege soldiers had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, re-raised the ladder that had been overthrown in the previous battles, and continued to climb along the ladder.

But before they climbed a few steps, the crossbow-bearing militiamen who recovered their spirits got up and spread the suppressed anger on the siege soldiers. They aimed the front sight of the wooden crossbow at the climbing enemy, and then buckled it. Trigger, just listen to the sound of a bowstring vibration, and the deadly crossbow arrow flew out instantly. The huge penetrating power actually directly penetrated the face of the front Ramirez soldier, shattering the human hard skull, and then shattering the skull. The brain inside. The Ramirez soldier who was brain-dead immediately fell from the ladder and knocked down the soldiers under him together.

The crossbow militia attacked for only one round. After shooting the enemy face-to-face, they retreated from the wall and retreated behind the line of defense formed by the spear militia. The wooden crossbow in the hand is loaded.

Just after the crossbow militiamen were loaded, the Ramirez soldiers climbed up the wall along the ladder. They were slightly stunned when they saw the waiting spear militiamen, but they reacted quickly and jumped into the walkway of the wall and rushed into the rows. Shielded defenders.

　　 "Li Shield!"

The centurion standing in the shield of the spear militia roared loudly. The corporal sergeant shouted and stood the koto-shaped shield obliquely to the ground. The gap between the shield and the shield points far away at the enemy rushing towards him.

And just a few breaths before the two sides met the enemy, the crossbow militiamen who had already filled up suddenly stood up, aimed their crossbow at the enemy, pulled the trigger, and the deadly arrow shot out again. The huge penetrating power made the crossbow. Ya directly pierced the shields and armor of Ramirez soldiers at close range, sank into their bodies, and severely damaged the enemy.

　　 This is the armor-breaking effect that comes with the crossbow!

　　 Launched at such a short distance, even the Gothic heavy armor of the late Middle Ages will be directly penetrated!

The close face-to-face volleys of crossbow militiamen directly stunned the Ramirez soldiers who had boarded the city wall. Just before they came over, the second round of volleys arrived as scheduled. The huge casualties made these soldiers morale instantaneous. Falling into the bottom, they screamed and fled back to the ladder, trying to escape down the ladder, but the ladder was occupied by soldiers who wanted to climb up. For a while, those who wanted to go up could not get up and those who wanted to get down could not get down, Lamy Chaos broke out among the Leith soldiers. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers of the Spear Militia issued an order, and the soldiers gave up the shield formation and raised their spears to kill the chaotic enemy.

　　 "Failed again!"

　　 Watching the defeated soldiers fled back to the army, King Owick, who was sitting firmly in the middle army, could no longer sit still~www.readwn.com~ shouted angrily.

　　 "Your Majesty, we have only besieged the city for less than ten days. The strength of the defenders has not been weakened, so the soldiers' failure is understandable..."

"But we don't have extra time!" King Oveko didn't listen to the military commander's words. He looked at the city coldly and said: "The Lavannes can't just watch us besiege the city. He will definitely send troops to rescue. The lord of Cork is the former military commander Bandak of the Kingdom of Ravana, and he is even less likely to watch us move further away from his fief."

"We can send someone to contact Bandak, Your Majesty." It was Oveko's second son Croft. The young prince who had just graduated from the Ramirez Royal School suggested: "Bandak has always Looking at the throne of the Kingdom of Ravana, I am very dissatisfied with the succession of the current King Lawrence. As long as we send someone to help him ascend to the throne, I believe he will be willing to give in."

　　 "You mean, let Bandak cede the territory that he took from us four years ago in exchange for us to support him in the war against the new King Lawrence?"

"Yes." Krove nodded and said in a positive tone: "Bandak will definitely agree to our proposal, because the lords of these three countries have no interest in him, and exchange three countries for one. A strong ally, I believe Bandak will make the right choice."

　　 "In this case, Croft, you are responsible for contacting Bandak. As long as you can win his concession, the Ravana army will be vulnerable!"

　　Oveko is so confident that if it weren't for the devastating charge of the Ravana cavalry led by Bandak four years ago, how could he have been defeated in a single battle? And now, without Bandak and the cavalry he personally led, Ovico is confident that he can defeat the enemy in shame.
