Chapter 283: Battle of the Siege
I didn’t know how many guards there were before, but now I don’t need to spend it after I have investigated it clearly.
It turned out that Baron Ross' plan was to directly surround and not attack. A lonely castle built on a cliff lasted for a long time and could be destroyed without attacking.
But during this period of war, I found that the other party's supplies seemed to be very rich.
The protracted war is definitely not possible, and more and more soldiers have recently said that they have seen strange and terrifying scenes. In order to avoid the disintegration of the legion's cohesion, Baron Ross can only seize the time to break the city.
Just as Li Qi came, he had a consultation.
Forget about the other little nobles, they didn't have a few militias. They were all mercenaries who were hired for nothing, and they also had farmers carrying pitchforks.
"Mr. Liqi" Baron Ross looked at Liqi: "Iron Wall Castle is easy to defend but difficult to attack, what do you think?"
Li Qi said: "I will lead people to attack."
I have come here, and I have no chance to scoop, and it is very important who wins this siege.
"Strong attack?" Ross didn't expect Li Qi to be so wild.
It is said that the Baron Porcupine is a reckless man, but he can no longer be considered reckless when he takes the lead in charge. He should be brainless.
Although there were only a hundred people on the city wall, those people had crossbows and an angry bed, otherwise they would not have been unable to conquer them if they waited for more than 2,000 people.
He thought Li Qi didn't understand what he had just said, and said again: "Sir Li Qi, the wall of the Iron Wall Castle is 36 feet high, and it is very dangerous to attack the ladder."
"We can make siege hammers," Baron Ross said. It is much easier to break through the city gate and break into the city wall.
Of course it is OK to make a siege hammer.
But there is another problem. The iron walled castle has not been built, and the rocks are rugged. There are a lot of trouble running and walking in armor. The siege hammer cannot be pushed up at all.
Li Qi just looked out from afar and saw that the gate of the Iron Wall Fort was stronger than that of ordinary castles. Using a siege hammer to break the gate is to pile up people's lives.
Li Qi said affirmatively: "I will lead people to kill the city wall and then open the city gate."
"Since Lord Liqi has decided..." Taylor Ross decided not to dissuade him anymore. If Liqi accidentally dies on the wall, then write a letter to the Duke.
Anyone who can be the lord of Iron Valley can do it, anyway, he just wants to complete the task.
The other nobles wanted Li Qi to lead the team to rush to save them from consuming their own strength.
As for Li Qi killing the city wall? More than 2,000 of them were unable to kill them. Why can Li Qi kill them?
Li Qi took the hardwood shield handed over by his entourage, tied the shield to the arm of his left hand with leather, and ordered: "Lacey, wait for the ladder to resist the clouds at the front, and the others followed behind to support the ladders and follow the team."
Lacey's extraordinary ability to reduce burdens must be used in this kind of place.
The wall of the Iron Wall Fort is 12 meters high, and the long cloud ladder made cannot move without five or six people, and it cannot move quickly because of its weight.
But as long as Lacey can bear the weight and one or two people are holding the ladder behind, they can move forward quickly without affecting their speed.
Lacey focused on her head: "Yes, sir!"
"Quick Blade!" Li Qi looked at Quick Blade. Although he was not an extraordinary person, he was very experienced in fighting: "This battle is not allowed to fire. Everyone changed to cold weapons. After Laixi and I competed for the city wall, the others followed closely, remember to keep the ladder."
Muskets are only useful when there is a clear distinction between the enemy and the enemy. If you use muskets in siege, you may give them some information to your companions.
Kuaibian replied: "Yes!"
Everything was ready, all the soldiers replaced with shields and one-handed swords, one-handed axes, and a shield walls to protect the top of their heads and their predecessors.
In the sunlight, the armor was shining with metallic silver luster, holding the shield painted with porcupines, moving forward silently and orderly.
Whoosh!
An arrow drew an arc and pierced in front of Li Qi, and the arrow trembled slightly.
Li Qi looked up at the city wall of the Iron Wall Fort. The soldiers guarding the city were not in a hurry to see that a single arrow could not be shot. They lowered their heads and stepped on the crossbow and slowly stomped the strings.
By fighting against low, the opponent has the advantage in the terrain.
Li Qi grabbed a javelin, took a deep breath, gathered strength, pulled his arm back, and he was like a big bow to fully unfold.
Throw it again!
The air was blown by the sound of his hand, making a "poof" sound.
The soldier who was lowering his head and leaning his strings was shocked when he swept the flying javelin, and even threw the crossbow in his hand and fell to the ground.
The javelin could not fly such a long distance after reaching the highest point. After reaching the highest point, the parabola fell and thrust into the wall with a "clang". However, due to insufficient force, he fell freely to the ground.
"Hu" the soldier breathed a sigh of relief.
"What kind of monster is that? Standing under the city wall so far away, bidding on us!" He really thought he was going to die for a moment.
When he looked at the team below the city wall again, he no longer dared to show his head and could only look out with his head exposed.
But it didn't matter when he saw it, and he was shocked again: "What team is this?"
The previous siege team was full of speed, especially the soldiers who had to protect the ladders, and the speed was similar to slow walking.
Look at the group of people underground, running wildly, moving fast and orderly, like a giant silver-armored python.
The young man in the lead was the nobleman who had almost poked him out with a javelin just now, running on the mountain road, but it was like taking off from the ground.
...
Li Qi, who failed to achieve success in a javelin, was not surprised. If he could really stand under the distant city wall, why would he attack the soldiers on the city wall? He could use a human-shaped turret to remove all the hundreds of people on it.
The one side has entered the other side's shooting range, but the other side is still outside the range, and the longer you stay under the city wall, the more dangerous it is.
He shouted, “Get quicker!”
The sound of breathing and footsteps would drown Li Qi's orders, but the whistle of Kuaiblade would immediately convey his meaning.
Li Qi's shot also awakened the city guard soldiers who were originally defending a few times and entered the state to launch a counterattack.
The javelin seemed to have lit a black gunpowder bomb, and the counterattack of the Iron Wall Castle suddenly became fierce.
Wow, the rain of arrows fell, and occasionally there was a crossbow gun mixed with it, but because of its speed, the crossbow gun always shot very far from the porcupine team.
Li Qi raised the shield tied to his arm, making a "dong dong dong" sound. The falling crossbow arrows were carrying great force, and the collision made his arm tremble slightly.
However, in a short while, Li Qi, including Lai Xi's shield behind him, had at least fourteen or five arrows, and many arrows were stabbed on his body, just like a hedgehog.
Fortunately, the extraordinary person stood in front. If it were an ordinary soldier, it would be difficult to move forward.
The team finally rushed under the wall.
The ladder was raised, and several people held the ladder and wanted to raise it to attack the city.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
Two soldiers behind Li Qi were knocked away by a crossbow gun, and fell to the ground without knowing their life or death. The two who were tilted hit several more people, and the team fell into a brief chaos.
“Dudu——!”
The quick blade blew the whistle, and the chaotic team quickly found its own rhythm.
The ladder continues to stand up.
The crossbow bed on the city wall is still slowly pulling the strings.
"We must rush up to solve the crossbow bed!"
Li Qi didn't want to be shot by that thing.
As the ladder was fully raised, Li Qi held a shield in front of him with his left hand, grabbed the ladder with his right hand, and jumped upwards with a long and rapid jump.
The person was climbing like a cheetah. The ladder had just been lifted firmly, but Li Qi had already climbed to half the height of the ladder in three or two steps.
The militia on the city wall were also shocked by Li Qi.
In the blink of an eye, it will be closer and then in front of you!
Almost all the arrows were gathered on him, almost overthrowing Li Qi and falling down. He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, held his breath, and carried it up, but the climbing speed was much slower.
"Um?"
The militia who had almost been stabbed by Li Qi's javelin was holding a crossbow gun. He expected Li Qi to appear, and was about to explode Li Qi's head with a crossbow, but it was very quiet in front of him.
Just when he felt strange.
A shield suddenly lifted up.
He quickly shot crossbow arrows.
Duh!
As expected, the crossbow arrow shot on the shield and became another thorn on the painted porcupine.
The hand holding a one-handed sword quickly reached out from behind the shield.
With a puff, the sword pierced through the eye socket of its left eye and pierced through its head.
Li Qi leaped with his shield and finally jumped onto the city wall!
Chapter completed!
