Chapter 555 Continuous Attack Tests
Chapter 555 Continuous Attack Tests
"what......"
The archers of the Guiyi Brigade may not necessarily shoot accurately when using strong bows and when the enemy is constantly moving.
But if the enemy attacks intensively, accuracy is not that important. You only need to ensure that your arrows can basically hit the enemy.
As a result, before the enemy rushed to the top of the wall, or even rushed to the wall, many people were hit by arrows and wailed.
"Escape!"
For the serf soldiers, this scene was so frightening that they dropped their ladders, weapons, and injured teammates and ran away.
Seeing this, Viscount Henrietta, who was supervising the battle not far away, frowned.
It was just a tentative attack, why did it fail like this? The original Da Gan wasn't that powerful, was he?
But for whatever reason, these serf soldiers escaped before completing their mission, so he just waved.
"The supervising team came forward and killed every ten of the retreating serf soldiers."
"By the way, the hammering will be carried out in front of these slaves."
After that, he ordered: "Organize another attack and incorporate the escaped serfs into it."
Soon, accompanied by high-pitched shouts, the Guiyi Brigade on the city wall watched the enemy organize their troops to attack again, and immediately stood ready.
Although these people's offense is not very good, their offense that can be connected quickly makes Ding Jie feel the pressure.
"I am ordering everyone not to be careless!"
Ding Jie, who was cautious by nature, immediately conveyed the order and told the defenders not to underestimate the enemy.
But this time, the enemy finally retreated under the city wall despite suffering huge casualties.
Although it did not cause any trouble to the Guiyi Brigade, Ding Jie could clearly see that those on the front line of the attack must be the first to attack and escape.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Rakshasa Man quickly organized a third attack.
"Kill!"
This time, the Rakshasa barbarian attack was obviously much smarter than the previous two. At least there were a lot more shields, and there were a lot of simple wooden shields arranged on the ladders.
Although these wooden shields are simple, they can greatly reduce the damage caused by bows and arrows to them.
"hiss......"
Seeing this, Ding Jie couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Although this group of Rakshasa barbarians are not good at attacking cities, their learning speed is too fast. They can find ways to deal with them very quickly."
Yes, Ding Jie had to admit that these Rakshasa were not simple.
"Archer, ordinary arrows, targeted strikes!"
"Archers come forward, prepare for the first impact!"
As the enemy got closer and closer to the city wall, the archers immediately started shooting at those targets that could be accurately shot.
This marksman does not need specific orders, he just needs to find the target and shoot.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,"
There were too few sharp archers, so the arrows were sparse, but every time an arrow was shot, the enemy fell to the ground.
Either immediate death, or severe injury and wailing.
"what!"
"Help, help!"
Among the people attacking this time, the speech was quite confusing. There were Dagan people and other people who didn't know where they were.
However, the Guiyi Brigade had no time to think about this matter. Soon the enemy came to the city wall with shields and ladders.
As the ladder was erected, those sheltered under the shield were instantly exposed.
"Fire arrows!"
The archers who had been waiting for a long time poured out arrows at the enemies under the city wall.
At such a close distance, the target was basically fixed. Many of the enemies were killed by arrows in a short time, and some unlucky ones had several arrows stuck in their heads.
However, the ladder was finally erected, and then other serf soldiers holding shields immediately began to climb the ladder and attack upwards.
"Go down you!"
The city of Guiyi Brigade was built in the mountains after all, so there may not be much kerosene to defend the city, but there must be a lot of stones and rolling wood.
For a moment, these serf soldiers climbing up with shields were directly hit by stones, and then fell down. Then, taking advantage of their lack of protection, they were directly hit by an arrow.
Soon, the enemy, who suffered heavy losses, retreated again.
This time, looking at the defeated serf soldiers, Viscount Henrietta did not get angry, but just thought secretly in his heart.
"The shield works very well, let's switch to the next batch of attacks."
"This time, raise your shield more often and try to bring back the enemy's arrows. Don't attack easily!"
Soon, Rakshasaman's fourth attack began.
Only this time, according to the order of Viscount Henrietta, a strange thing happened on the battlefield.
That is, the attacking Rakshasa barbarian serf soldiers were staying not far from the city wall with ladders and shields, shivering but not attacking.
The Guiyi Brigade soldiers on the city wall were holding stone bows and arrows, but they could not find any openings for the enemy.
So the two sides were in a stalemate, one hoping that the enemy would attack, and the other praying in his heart for an order to retreat.
Seeing this, Ding Jie took the lead in ordering a tentative attack.
"Fire arrows!"
As a result, arrows were shot out sparsely, and stones were thrown out sparsely, but they found that they couldn't cause any damage, so they stopped attacking.
When Viscount Henrietta on the other side saw this, he immediately waved.
"Let them withdraw!"
Soon, the fourth batch of attacking serf soldiers retreated, and then Viscount Henrietta looked at the arrows in his hand with a serious expression.
"This arrow is not simple. It is uniform in length and thickness, and most of the arrow shafts are cracked. It basically eliminates secondary use."
"It seems that the enemy's ability to make arrows is not low, and they have a sufficient reserve of arrows. It is not a good idea to attack by consuming their arrows!"
Thinking of this, he thought of what his son said, and immediately formed a group of archers, and under the protection of sword and shield men, they attacked together with the fifth group of serf soldiers.
"attack!"
Under the order, Rakshasa Man changed the battle plan again and launched the fifth attack.
The preparations for this time took a long time, and Ding Jie also urgently reported to the brigade headquarters to inform him of the seriousness of the matter.
Therefore, it was not only the officers of the third battalion who were stationed on the city wall this time, but also the officers of the second battalion and the brigade headquarters.
"The enemy has archers, suppress them!"
Regarding the Rakshasa Man's attack this time, the archers at the back and their sword and shield men naturally fell into Ding Jie's eyes, so the main role of the archers on the city wall was to suppress the Rakshasa Man's archers.
As for the attacking enemy, it is left to the defending spearmen, swords and shields.
"kill!"
"Fire arrows!"
"Shhhhhh!"
"boom!"
"what!"
For a moment, arrows shot through the air, rocks flew, and the battle became fierce.
Obviously, after a few probing attacks, the Rakshasa Barbarians have begun to put pressure on the Guiyi Brigade.
