Rise In Calradia

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The flame spread rapidly along the asphalt, as fast as a galloping horse moving forward. Before the Kujit soldiers in the ditch could react, they were surrounded by flames and swallowed by flames. No matter how thick the armor was, the fire could not stop the scorching of the flames. No matter how good the weapon was, the blazing flames continued to be cut. Hundreds of soldiers desperately crawled to the edge of the river and exhausted all their strength to push others away. Strive for a little bit of survival by yourself.

Soldiers with flames on their bodies kept rolling on the ground. The pain and burning sensation made them give up thinking and desperately tried to put out the fire, but the asphalt was spread too far, and oil and firewood were poured down on the walls. , Making the fire become more fierce. People rolling on the ground were either burned to death or inhaled too much smoke in the scorching heat and could not move. Those who were still standing scrambled to climb the ropes and ladders that let them down, but these flammable items were burnt and broken in the flames in a blink of an eye. Only a few hundred people escaped and only a few dozen were left. All wailing underneath.

It’s not that the people on the top of the pit have never tried to save them. In fact, they tried their best to drop more ropes, more ladders, and even put down their long-handled weapons, but the effect was not good, not very fast. It was burned, but the distance was too long to reach. In the end, they could only watch their comrades struggle and wailing in the pit, and then their movements became slower and quieter, and finally they fell slowly and slowly, with scorching marks on their bodies. Engulfed by flames.

The bottom is like purgatory, and naturally no one dared to continue to advance from below. They began to think of ways to extend the wooden planks as a bridge, but the river channel was twenty feet wide. If there is no one at the other end, the long wooden planks would be difficult to control, and the people on the wall are not fools. They will watch them complete the bridge. . A large number of stones were thrown down, and the crossbowmen kept shooting those who were trying to lay the bridge, and even some of the crossbows turned to aim at these wooden boards.

Soon, those wooden boards that hadn’t reached the other side were broken, shot through, either unusable or fragile, and it’s very difficult for people to walk. The rushing vehicle passed on these broken wooden boards, no matter how you think. impossible.

As a result, these soldiers could only temporarily hold their shields and then withdraw, even leaving the rushing cars behind. The soldiers in the river were completely hopeless, and fell one by one, turning into coke in the flames. The broken wooden planks also shattered one by one, filling a handful of firewood for the fire.

But the Kurgits obviously didn't just give up like this, the shooting from the city head continued, and the heavy siege weapons were still blasting each other. The Kugit infantry team seemed to have done something after returning, and then soon returned with the dust. This time, every soldier was carrying a bag, and the number of infantry was further increased. Before the cavalry who dismounted Kujit, there were many more southern infantry holding shields but with ragged armor and poor weapons. , Which was mixed with some well-equipped heavy infantry, which were obviously southern slave infantry bought by the Kujites and mercenaries who fought the slaves. But even they carry bags, and the bags are bigger.

"What are they going to do?" The soldiers in the city were puzzled.

"Whatever he looks at, I saw one shot to death!" The sergeant next to him shouted loudly, grabbing a crossbow with an arrow, and directly knocking down a running southern infantry.

"Keep shooting, don't care if the arrows are enough, these prairie barbarians must have some tricks we don't know, don't let them come close!"

Under the orders of the sergeants, the bows and crossbows at the head of the city did not stop shooting for a moment. The arrows tilted down like raindrops. The Salanders who rushed in the front quickly fell down a large area, but the remaining ones were still The mercenaries who were constantly cursing and twitching their whips drove down to the moat. At this time, most of the flames underneath had been extinguished, and only a few flames were still burning on the corpse with grease and contaminated pitch. The smell and the tragic situation warranted Humans pointed out that when some slaves saw the charred, twisted bodies underneath, looked at the dry palms that stretched out, and smelled the strong barbecue and stench, they spit out directly beside the river. And their fate was kicked by the mercenaries behind.

In the sound of the horse, the slaves resisted the disgusting feeling, opened the bag in their hands, and the soldiers in the city saw it. It seemed to be ordinary soil. The weather is clear these days, and the opponent’s siege weapon can be built smoothly. The surrounding soil is dry, and it is also convenient to get soil.

At first, the soldiers on the wall didn't know what the other party was going to do, but they found that the slaves hurried back after they had poured the soil in the bag, one by one, continuously dumping soil into the river. The infantry team behind them also followed, dumping the soil and retreating, and when they discovered that the smashing car that had been dropped had been damaged by the catapult in the city, they also pushed the smashing car forward. In the river channel, after so much effort, smart people can easily understand their intentions.

"They want to fill up the river!"

An idea that sounds so ridiculous, but now it's so credible. The Kujites carry not much soil each time, but they can't hold back their large numbers of people. The troops are constantly transporting the soil, and the shields are never put down, which greatly weakens the power of the crossbow on the city head. Thousands of soldiers kept repeating the actions of fetching, transporting, and dumping soil. In order to improve efficiency, they even pushed the trolley forward, and the entire vehicle fell into the soil.

Although the river is wide, the soldiers in the city can easily see the continuous increase in the soil in this blackened pit. They have increased their firepower, and they will consume a lot of arrows and crossbows to shoot at the shield-protected infantry. It may slow down the speed at which they dump the soil~www.readwn.com~ Everyone understands that as long as the river is there, whether there is water or not, it is the best barrier to resist the enemy, because of heavy siege weapons like rush cars and ladder trucks. Can't pass such a deep pit. The infantry and those simple siege weapons were unable to take down this strong fortress city, and the defenders in the city had the advantage. But once they filled in a solid passage, everything changed.

In the following day, the defenders on the city wall consumed three times the normal arrows, the catapult and the bed crossbow also showed wear and tear, and the corpses of the Khergits and southern slaves in the city piled up. They At least 500 people died in the siege on this day. But despite this, they have made significant progress. A large amount of soil filled the river channel with an earth bridge. The height of the earth bridge near the city wall is almost half the height of the river channel, and on the side close to the Kujites, At a distance of almost ten feet, the soil is almost level with the ground. And even at night, they are still continuing to fill the earth. After all, this job has very low technical content and can do it even if there is no light.

The people in the city knew that before noon tomorrow, they would be able to fill in a bridge wide enough and strong enough for their siege weapons to pass through. And they will not only attack from one direction, but in several other positions of the city wall, they will also make earth bridges by filling the soil, but the earth bridges filled out on the side of the city gate are higher.

From top to bottom, the officers and soldiers in the city know that the battle after tomorrow will not be as easy as before.
