Chapter 557 The situation is not right, the attack is suspended
"Archer ready, let go!"
Following the charge of the Rakshasa Man, the Guiyi Brigade also became serious. Under the command of Ding Jie, the archers had already begun to attack.
"Shhhhhh!"
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, hundreds of arrows flew towards the charging Rakshasa Man.
"what!"
Although there were a lot of bows and arrows, the damage they caused to the enemies was actually not great. Only some unlucky ones fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
However, with so many arrows, the sense of oppression is actually quite strong, which at least slows down the charging Rakshasa barbarians a lot.
Although the arrows have done little good, the archers' shooting will not stop.
Soon, as the enemy approached the city wall, some of the archers immediately switched to rockets under orders, while the remaining archers began to attack the enemy's archers in a targeted manner.
This is a bit similar to Duizi, but Guiyi Brigade is obviously more advantageous.
"Suppression, archer suppression!"
Facing the archers of the Guiyi Brigade and the soldiers who prevented the army from climbing the wall, the Rakshasa Man naturally wanted to use archers to suppress it. It cannot be said that the Guiyi Brigade retreated from the city wall, but the Guiyi Brigade also wanted to suppress and did not dare to block it wantonly. Just fine.
Although the entire Guiyi Brigade is equipped with armor, which theoretically provides quite tight protection, there will always be some unlucky ones under the numerous arrows.
As a result, the Guiyi Brigade also began to suffer casualties.
"Kill!"
This time, Rakshasaman obviously invested a lot of archers, and the distance was relatively far, and they were protected by shield guards. This made the archers of the Guiyi Brigade unable to effectively kill them and could only play a certain suppressive role.
So, the Rakshasa army successfully erected the ladder and quickly climbed up.
This type of soldier is a serf soldier. They are protected by a large shield when charging, but when climbing a wall, they can only abandon the large shield and replace it with a small shield.
For this kind of enemy, the rolling wood is far inferior to the stone.
However, there are more than just this kind of weapons suitable for defending the city, so...
"Flail soldiers step forward!"
Following the order, a kind of warrior wearing half-body armor soon walked to the crenel with a flail similar to that used for threshing grain. Then he hid behind the city wall, shouted slogans and began to fight.
These people are all militiamen, they are good at work, and they are naturally good at using the flail.
then......
"One, two, three, that's great."
I saw the soldiers raising their flails, shaking them in the air, and falling with the slogans, hitting the attacker's head hard.
"Ouch!"
"what!"
The power of this flail is not small. Don't look at it as it is not as powerful as swords, guns, swords and halberds, but the blunt damage caused by its potential energy is not much weaker than that of the hammer.
For a moment, some people were hit in the shoulder and fell down with an ouch.
Some people were hit by shields and suffered small arm fractures. If they were unlucky, their shields would be smashed.
As for those who were hit on the head, they basically passed away without any screams. They walked away painlessly and very peacefully.
Not only that, because the flail soldiers were hiding behind the city wall, there was no need to show their heads, and because of the city wall, the bows and arrows below could not shoot.
As a result, the soldiers were like threshing crops on a threshing floor, shouting slogans while doing so.
As for how long it can last?
Sorry, I just finished harvesting the grain, so it’s not a problem to continue hunting for half a day.
For a moment, the Rakshasa barbarian attack was blocked, and they saw that their own people were almost on top. Then a stick suddenly appeared on the city wall and hit them hard. All the soldiers who were hit fell directly to the ground.
The heavy casualties prevented the serf soldiers from attacking, so the standing army took action except for the archers and shield guards.
"Kill!"
Shouting loudly to kill, the standing army charged with more momentum and faster speed than the serf soldiers.
Soon, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall and started climbing the ladders, and these climbs were one after another and connected very closely.
At this time, it was obviously difficult for a flail soldier to deal with it, and this group of standing troops was also very fierce. If one fell, another would catch up, without any regard for the loss.
Under this kind of charge, someone quickly rushed to the top. However, before he could climb up the wall, he was stabbed in the face with a gunshot and then fell to the ground. His death was miserable.
However, under this kind of attack, the Guiyi Brigade always had some omissions. Under the continuous attacks, a Rakshasa Gate soon climbed up.
"Haha, I'm coming up, kill!"
This man climbed onto the wall, he was really happy, and then he laughed twice and raised his knife to kill him.
"Boom!"
"prick!"
"kill!"
A few tactical instructions followed, and then nothing more.
However, this gap was finally broken through, so enemies began to climb up the wall in a steady stream, and the fighting became even more fierce.
"Go back and hold your ground!"
After all, this breach was a bit small, and there were also unsupported breaches in the surrounding area, so the breach was quickly blocked again.
However, this scene still attracted Rakshasa to rush in and attack even more crazily.
"Come on, we can rush on!"
"Good life, here I come!"
"Kill!"
The morale-shaken Rakshasa Man charged even more crazily, and it became increasingly difficult for the soldiers of the Guiyi Brigade to resist. One soldier complained.
"You guys, what are these guys talking about? I can't understand you!"
Then I heard the captain yelling, "Do you understand? Take care of your fighting position and don't let the enemy rush up. Those who are riding horses are a group of lunatics."
Although they have no enemies on the city wall yet, the captain is also nervous.
However, the troops invested by the Rakshasa Barbarians were limited. After the losses reached a certain level and they found that it was increasingly impossible to attack the city, Viscount Henrietta immediately ordered the army to withdraw.
"Strange, the army in this city is not simple, isn't it?"
"Are they decoys? From the rear? Or are they the main force?"
For a while, Viscount Henrietta also asked whether the main force of the Guiyi Brigade was defending the city.
Soon, a regular soldier was brought up, and Viscount Henrietta asked directly.
"Do the enemies on the city wall have armor? If so, how many?"
The standing army replied: "My Lord Governor, all the enemies on the city wall have armor, or iron armor."
Viscount Henrietta was even more confused at this time, because he had many questions that he couldn't figure out. However, for the sake of safety, he immediately suspended the siege, left the surveillance personnel, and immediately led the army back to the city abandoned by the Guiyi Brigade. among.
As soon as they entered the city, Viscount Henrietta said to his youngest son.
"The situation is not right. I will allocate a standing army regiment to you. You can take the private soldiers and this regiment to the beach to test out the situation there."
"If there are not the main force but the fleeing natives, annihilate them on the spot!"
"If the main force is there, then trap them, keep an eye on them, and then wait for reinforcements to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Little Henrietta immediately accepted the order: "I understand, father."
