Chapter 22 Riga Offensive and Defensive Battle Third, a very big one

Ten thousand two thousand... If Mu prepares, it is impossible to get four updates. Rub your face

At this time, there was no array of scattered soldiers in the war, crawling forward to find a tactic of covering up, and from the beginning it was dense formation, long-range attacks could naturally make the city a big city. Just like a bombing-like attack of the catapult and city defense crossbow, the United Kingdom's three thousand vanguard troops lost nearly one-fifth of the United Kingdom's three thousand vanguard troops.

However, with the blessing of the Supreme Alliance, the soldiers of the United Kingdom were still motivated and moved forward much faster.

So, they were greeted with a rain of arrows woven by crossbowmen and longbowmen. The crossbowmen were still divided into three rows, standing on the city wall. The clan approached the city wall, and shot down by relying on the battlements, then backwards, replaced the second row of crossbowmen and shot down, and the third row took a step forward and prepared, and the first row went directly to the position of the third row and began to load... This tactic is quite similar to the legendary three-stage shooting.

The longbow soldiers stood under the wooden wall and shot. Because the wooden wall was only three meters high, it did not have much impact on the longbow soldiers - it was nothing to be able to see the target, just shoot densely. Anyway, the opponent also had a dense formation. With the gravity acceleration from top to bottom, the longbow's attack power was not affected too much.

In this way, the dense crossfire network formed by volleys of bows and crossbows like heavy rain covered the dense array of enemy infantry, causing heavy losses to the United Kingdom. In just a moment, the enemy fell down before he could even touch the wall. Although the remaining enemies reflected and raised their shields to protect their heads, there was still a tragedy of being shot by the stray arrows. In addition to the catapult and the city defense crossbow, this kind of killer weapon that could basically ignore the shields. When the enemy carried a ladder and laid it on the edge of the wooden fort, there were only less than a thousand people left.

"Damn... it's really hateful..." Seeing his vanguard troops being brutally massacred, Vadislaw II on the opposite side bit his teeth, and finally he was helpless and ordered the army to retreat.

Seeing the enemy fleeing back in shame, Egil rarely did not order a pursuit. Then bursts of cheers broke out from the city. Because of Egil's order, the Norman soldiers did not continue to shoot arrows and throw stones and hit the water dog. However, this did not make Vadislaw II feel good. Seeing the rude Norman soldiers laughing on the city, insulting everyone from the United Kingdom, from Vadislaw II to the orderly soldiers, grimacing and pretending to be strange, and some even took off their pants and peed down.

It's such a fool, it's too much to deceive people!

Seeing these Normans' savage, rude and shameless provocation, the knights and nobles of the United Kingdom almost burst into anger. They asked their king to continue to send heavy troops to directly destroy all the provocative bastards. However, many grassland nomads were worried and felt that they had done this kind of thing...

Seeing that his army was not depressed due to its previous failure, but instead rushing to continue rushing to die, Vadislaw II sighed in his heart, but did not agree.

That's right, it's just a death. The Normans' combat power of the offensive and defensive momentum just now made the King of the United Kingdom quite afraid. At this moment, he also understood the benefits of this strange defense system.

The entire Mubao formed a 120-degree arc, with spiky edges and corners stretching and shrinking, surrounding the southern walls of Riga City. In addition to the cross firepower net mentioned before and the advantageous positions of the exterior castle, there are also many iron pieces inserted in the walls of the Mubao. They look very sharp. If you are not careful, your arms will be damaged when you climb.

"It's not simple, it's not simple." Wadi Slaw nodded repeatedly, but looked at his opponent with a high glance. Then he ordered directly: "By bypass and attack the walls on the other sides - concentrate shields and helmets for the siege troops!"

Seeing that it was already afternoon, spies from the other three walls came to report that the opponent's troops began to gather at the outer range of the city wall, stone throwing tools and city defense crossbows on the other side. Egil nodded, knowing that although this round was not able to determine the outcome, the legendary Star Fortress had very strong combat power, and this should be confirmed.

So Egil opened the system interface, looked at the 300,000 gold coins on it, and made a cruel decision and spent 200,000 yuan to upgrade Oslo to a star fortress. Immediately afterwards, he built a two-story star fortress defense system for Gothenburg, and contacted Aurora, asking her to agree to the request of Swedish merchants to open a port in Gothenburg. He also charged only half of the specified commercial tax within half a year to attract merchants.

In addition, Egil had a "small money" of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. Although British cities were waiting for the development of this money, Egil was still cruel and left 10,000 yuan to be the bottom. All the remaining 40,000 yuan was used. He recruited mercenary spearmen from various places for 5,000 yuan. He ordered General Carter to transport reinforcements.

Since the war started, Egir's naval advantage has been revealed once again. After blocking the entire Ore Waterway, he directly robbed Novgorod and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. He was directly detained by the people and the ships. Except for thirty copper plates (a ticket for the fifth-class merchant ship can send you anywhere in the Baltic Sea, but during this period, he had to eat and live with the boat slaves and help rowing), everything would be taken away...

In this way, Egil made a lot of extra money...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Egil stood on the wall on the west side of Riga, yawning, thinking to himself: If you don't attack the city again, Tianyan will look dark, your sister's cheating father...

Perhaps God heard Egil's complaint, just as Egil yawned again and was about to go to the guard room on the city tower for a short while, Artoria next to him stabbed him. Then Egil immediately took out his telescope and saw a large group of United Kingdom soldiers who were outside the range of the crossbow and couldn't wait to raise their shields to protect their heads and carry the ladder. Then he expressed his emotions. But when he saw the big... very big... very big, and it looked like a rushing car made of three big trees tied together, he couldn't help but whistle.

"How?" asked Artoria.

"Prepare the rockets." Egil responded briefly, and asked a guard knight standing next to him to go to the Longbows to pass the order.

"It's useless, you can take a closer look." Artoria did not continue to say this until Egil gave the order.

"...Huh?" Egil looked carefully at the telescope for a while before he understood.

"On the other party, is holding a bucket in his hand?" Egil asked with a frown.

"That's right." Artoria nodded.

"Do you have five-point zero eyes?"

"What five points zero?"

“—When I didn’t say it.”

Egil looked at such a big one... there was no baffle on it, and it looked extremely rough, but it cost a lot to pack a layer of iron siege hammer in front, and was a little speechless. This thing...it seems to be able to be killed with a thief. No matter what, try it first.

So, with Egil's order, the engineers on this side of the city wall began to manipulate the city defense machinery and threw stones at the huge siege hammer. The result was somewhat unexpected.

Although more than one United Kingdom soldiers were accidentally killed, the other party's siege hammer just shook a few times, and it didn't seem like nothing happened.

Surprisingly strong.

At this time, messages were also heard from the walls on both sides. The other party dispatched a siege hammer that looked quite thick. Whether it was a longbow rocket or a stone catapult, they had no choice but to do anything to him. The hit rate of the city defense crossbow was a little too low. Egil was not very pious in praying recently, so...

"Prepare the turmeric oil." Egil rolled his eyes, and ordered this a little reluctantly, thinking that he was going to lose money again this time...

Immediately afterwards, the opponent's siege hammers were gone for more than ten minutes. During this period, the Normans tried their best to draw bows and shoot arrows, throw stones desperately, and use city defense crossbows desperately... Finally, there was some effect. After the siege hammer in the north was hit by the crossbows several times, Kara and Kara's sound became fragments. Then the soldiers of the United Kingdom seemed to have been suddenly taken away by an ant carrying the biscuits, and then retreated in a panic.

But there are two more ways.

A few minutes later, the siege hammers arrived at the city gate with difficulty under the guidance of hundreds of soldiers. Then they were greeted with hot oil that had been boiled. Listening to the screams of the enemies who were fried into tempura below, Egil set fire again.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of rockets, torches and more oil were thrown down, turning the entire city gate into a sea of ​​fire. However, under such difficult conditions, the soldiers of the United Kingdom still gritted their teeth and ignored the fire and tried to hit the city gate. Some of the skins and bones that were scalded by the boiling oil were exposed, but they still pushed the siege hammers wildly. Of course, they finally fell down helplessly. However, after this - two - three or four, the latch of the city gate was quickly overwhelmed and broken into two pieces...

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the cheers of the United Kingdom soldiers and the exclamations of the Norman soldiers, the city gates were broken.
