Idle game leads to another world

In a siege, the attackers will suffer great losses on the road close to the defenders. The archers, crossbows, catapults and other defenses on the city walls are not just for show, and the attackers can only passively take the beating during this period. Even if they use crossbows to fight back, they have city walls and there is nothing around them, which is quite disadvantageous.

As a result, the white dragon attracted the attention of many people and successfully tore two crossbows apart with its claws, which also allowed the Avarus Demon Kingdom army to get close enough to engage in close combat.

A large number of arrows were shot at the city wall, and the catapults made a terrible explosion like thunder. This time, it was not the enemy's head that was thrown out, but a real boulder wrapped in oilcloth and set on fire.

Cut the boulder into a round point, then wrap it with linen soaked in crude oil and ignite it and throw it out. The lethality is not actually increased too much, but the visual effect is very awesome.

The defenders were beaten and fled in panic the moment they came into contact, and their morale, which was not much to begin with, dropped again in an instant.

The heavy armored shield phalanx of the Avarus Demon Kingdom army revealed the siege ladder hidden in the crowd. This thing is much easier to make than a catapult. In essence, it is a very long ladder.

Tie a thick hemp rope to the end of the ladder on the wall. Once the ladder is placed on the wall, the people below hold the rope tightly to prevent the ladder from being pushed away by the defenders.

Some defenders who still have the will to fight picked up rolling stones and wooden beams and threw them down the wall, trying to knock down the people holding the rope and push the ladder down, but most people were scared and this effort had little effect.

Seeing this, the generals of the defenders hurried to the wall, shouting to boost morale while swinging heavy weapons to cut off the ladder.

For the generals to lead by example can indeed boost morale. Seeing the generals rushing up, the defenders who were originally retreating took up their courage and confronted the vanguard troops who climbed the wall head-on.

Although they could climb the wall, only a few of them did. The defenders had a clear numerical advantage, so it was impossible to break into the fortress so easily.

Near the gate, a team of heavily armored shield soldiers put down their shields, picked up a battering ram and attacked the gate.

It was called a battering ram, but it was actually a thick log with one end sharpened.

It was customary to use this thing to break the door, and the defenders followed the convention.

The gate was concave, which meant that the gate was actually inside the doorway, not outside it.

One advantage of this design was that holes could be opened around the doorway, and the defenders could use these shooting holes to shoot crossbows at the soldiers who were attacking the gate.

The movable door panel above the gate could also be opened, and many people held stones and smashed them down. Several shield soldiers who focused on breaking the door were knocked down in a short while.

Siege warfare was difficult. Even if the opponent's morale was low, even if there was a white dragon swooping down on the wall to spread fear, it was not easy to break into the fortress. It could even be said that it was not something that could be taken down in one or two attacks.

In many cases of siege warfare, the defenders open the gates and surrender, or they are besieged until they run out of ammunition and food and can no longer hold on.

The attackers need to launch repeated attacks to defeat the defenders head-on, which may take days or even weeks.

But as mentioned before, Viola cannot be held back by the Lookout Fortress. She needs to take over the Lookout Fortress and the Kaimen City in the south of the fortress as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be dangerous.

Don't forget that the four-nation coalition invaded the Avarus Demon Kingdom.

The tragic defeat of the Subia Demon Kingdom army will be heard by other coalition forces within a month. Considering the time they have to mobilize troops and react, Viola only has two months at most.

During this period, she must take over the Kaimen City, forming a triangular area with the Kaimen City as the vanguard, passing through the Lookout Fortress, the Half Moon Fortress and the Sailing City, and then the Leon Territory as the rear.

Expand the battle line to avoid being beaten, especially not being attacked by the coalition forces. After all, she only has so few troops now, and she can't afford to waste them.

For this reason, it is imperative to quickly capture the Fortress of the Lookout.

But as I said just now, siege warfare is not so easy to deal with. What should we do?

This requires some operations that are not suitable for the front battlefield.

–--——----

The general defending the city wiped the blood on his face. He couldn't tell whether it was his own, his soldiers', or the enemy's.

As expected, the siege began and immediately entered a white-hot stage. The morale of the Avarus Demon Kingdom Army shocked the soldiers defending the city. You can even see the fierce scene of some soldiers roaring and hugging the soldiers defending the city, and falling down the city wall together.

This group of people seemed to be fearless of death, and shouted words that the general defending the city couldn't understand, such as "gan" and "cao", as if there was a source of courage behind them.

The morale of our side was not good to begin with, and it was particularly difficult to resist with the increase and decrease of one side and the other side.

But we can still hold on.

The advantage provided by the city wall is too great, and the number of enemy troops that can climb the city wall is not large. Relying on the advantage of numbers, we are not at a disadvantage.

Now we are in a delicate balance. If something breaks this balance, it will be hard to say.

Maybe Murphy's Law is true. The more you worry about something, the more it will come.

The general defending the city suddenly saw a string of colorful sparks on the other side of the city wall, accompanied by a loud explosion, and felt a slight vibration from the ground along his toes.

"It's dynamite! They used dynamite! The drain is about to be blown open!"

Of course, the fortress must have a drainage area, otherwise thousands of people eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the fortress will soon be soaked in shit.

This is a weak point, but it is not so easy to blow it up with explosives, and it will be taken care of when building the fortress.

But again, morale.

It is not important whether it is blown up or not. What is important is that the act of blowing up the drainage outlet makes the defenders, who are already demoralized, very frightened, as if the army outside the city may drill in through the hole at any time.

Panic spreads rapidly like a plague. The morale that was finally raised was beaten back to its original state.

The generals defending the city can clearly see that many soldiers even turned around and ran down the city wall, and became timid in the face of the enemy climbing up the ladder, and they could not bear it even with the advantage in numbers.

"The city gate is open!"

Bad news came one after another. The general of the defending army turned around and looked at the inner wall. A dozen agile men in black chopped down the soldiers near the capstan and quickly pulled up the gate. One of them looked like an elf and was particularly eye-catching. She shot the soldiers who tried to stop her to the ground with a few arrows.

Sending people into the castle to open the city gate can greatly reduce casualties, but where did they come from?

The defense specifications of the Lookout Fortress are not low. There are no loopholes to exploit. Even if they rappel from the cliff behind, they will definitely be discovered by patrolling soldiers.

Suddenly, the general defending the city thought of a possibility.

White Dragon, they have been standing on the back of the white dragon, and secretly jumped down and sneaked in when the white dragon swooped down!

The city gate was wide open, and morale was completely gone.

The defender knew that this Lookout Fortress would definitely not be able to be defended.
