Glory Riding and Cutting

The Volantenes began to muster their forces as soon as the siege camp had been established, without keeping the Titans waiting. The slave army of Volantis was trained by the child captives that Volantis bought from various places. They were trained by slave owners to use weapons since they were young, and they were also instilled in them to obey the will of their masters no matter what.

These slaves are usually responsible for farming and labor, and they will take up arms and become the vanguard of Volantis in wartime. When there are too many slave soldiers, Volantis will sell some of them to other city-states to relieve the pressure and earn a fortune. These slaves have been castrated since childhood to curb their desires. Their whole life is numb. They usually don't live to be more than forty years old. They either die in battle or in hard labor.

At this time, these slaves had already put on sleeveless leather armor, daggers on their waists, and pitch-black round shields in their hands. Thousands of people gathered together, and the blackness felt very oppressive.

The slave soldiers slowly pushed out five catapults from the rear, while the soldiers in the front row raised their shields above their heads while carrying the ladders.

Because the enemy army only attacked from one direction this time, Bamba had asked the villagers to hide on the west side of the castle in advance, so that the stones and arrows that would come in later would not harm them.

The horn sounded, and the enemy army began to move slowly, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The slave soldiers in the front row walked like flying with their ladders on their shoulders. The archers on both sides began to shoot at each other when they entered the range of the bow and arrow. The soldiers on the city wall of the defending side were divided into three rows. The first row held shields and spears to protect the crenel. .

The dense arrow rain interacted, and the defenders still had a lot of advantages in this situation. Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot through the gaps and hit their heads, the rest of the arrows were basically blocked by shields and battlements.

The range of the defenders was longer and the targets were bigger. Many slave soldiers of Volantis were stabbed by the arrows that fell from the sky. Their round shields have a limited area of ​​protection, and their bare arms exposed by wearing sleeveless leather armor are very easy to be injured by arrows. But these slave soldiers didn't seem to feel the pain, and they didn't waver even if their arms were cut with bloody big gashs.

After more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, the casualties of the Volantenes were obviously more than those of Taiwei 4's defenders, but the slave soldiers finally reached the bottom of the city wall with their ladders on their backs. Slowly erect the ladder and put it on the crenel of the city wall. At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers below firmly held down the lower part of the ladder, preventing the defenders on the city wall from overturning the ladder.

The rain of arrows continued. The slave soldiers held their shields above their heads with one hand and began to climb up the ladder with the other. The archers defending the city stretched out their bodies from the crenels and shot downwards. Although most of them were blocked by the shields, there were still a few guards. Improper slave soldiers were shot and dropped.

The infantry guarding the city also kept stabbing down with their spears, and a few slave soldiers who had just climbed to the top were forcefully pushed down by the guarding soldiers with their shields before they could touch the battlements.

When the ladder was on the battlements, the siege engine was also dispatched. A group of soldiers gathered together and pushed the siege engine out of the formation slowly. Rexxar immediately noticed the siege engine, and he quickly called the archers to take care of it. Nowhere, but the slave soldiers did a good job of protecting themselves. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields. Occasionally, if a few people were shot down, other soldiers nearby would immediately make up for it.

Rexxar frowned, and asked the defenders above the city gate to prepare hot oil and rocket stones. The gate of Taiweisi was covered with iron, so it was not afraid of being burned, but the enemy's siege vehicles' wooden and wooden rams no.

The siege vehicle was slowly pushed forward, and the slave soldiers shouted slogans and pushed the ram hard to hit the city gate, but just after hitting it once, they were splashed by the hot oil splashed on the city wall, and the slave soldiers let out a horrific cry. Rolling on the ground, it doesn't feel good to be drenched in hot oil, not to mention the rockets that the soldiers shot down immediately, the siege vehicle was instantly ignited, and the nearby soldiers who were drenched in oil also burned one after another.

They were on fire all over their bodies screaming and rolling on the ground, but the oily fire was not so easy to extinguish. In the end, they could only become a scorched corpse with flesh and armor fused together.

As the defenders began to deal with the siege engines, Volantene's catapults also began to attack. Most of the stones from the catapult hit the city wall, and a small part flew into the city and hit the castle and the open space in the city. However, the walls and castle of Taiweisi are very strong, and the stones hitting it can only stir up a storm. Debris can't cause too much damage. Maybe they can break the city wall with catapults for a year without sleep.

But even if the walls could not be shaken, the vibrations brought by the stones hitting the battlements caused several defenders who were caught off guard to fall, and the slave soldiers of Volantis took the opportunity to climb to the top of the city.

Another stone accurately passed through the crenel and hit the top of the city wall. A soldier holding a shield and stabbing down with a spear was directly thrown backwards and fell to the bottom of the city wall, becoming a pile of unknown objects.

More and more enemy troops climbed to the top of the city under the cover of catapults and arrow rain, and hand-to-hand combat began. Several slave soldiers climbed up near Ronan. Seeing this, Ronan threw the spear in his hand like a javelin, and the spear directly pierced an enemy soldier who had just climbed up the city wall. , the huge force even brought him flying upside down for more than one meter, until he hit another soldier.

Ronan pulled out the two-handed sword that was leaning on the battlements, and slashed down hard, knocking a soldier who was holding up his shield to the ground to his knees, and then Ronan kicked it hard, hitting him with his hard iron boots. In his face, he directly kicked his nose and made him kneel down on his knees and fall to the ground with his upper body leaning back. Ronan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the big sword pierced his neck fiercely.

Then Ronan held the blade with his backhand, turned around and whipped fiercely. The weight ball at the end of the hilt hit the shield of a soldier who had just climbed up the battlement and hadn't stood still, making a dent on the shield at the same time. He knocked the soldier down the city wall and fell to the bottom.

Holding the blade of the sword with both hands to block an enemy's short sword, he pushed forward hard against the wall, and when his back hit the wall and bounced back, he directly stabbed his helmet with the sharp gauntlet pierced directly through his eyes and pierced his brain.

At this time, an enemy who had just climbed up from behind slashed Ronan's back with a dagger, but only left a scratch and a few sparks on the thick plate armor. With a roar, Rona pulled out the guard of the big sword, held the sword with both hands, turned around and stabbed fiercely, and pierced straight into the abdomen of the slave soldier. Throw it under the city wall.
