Yousef was right.

The army outside the city did start an offensive.

Following Leyz's order, this huge city that had stood in the middle of the empire for hundreds of years finally suffered the baptism of war for the first time.

Under the control of the soldiers, the trebuchets roared loudly, and the heavy stone bullets drew a perfect parabola in the sky, and then fell quickly with the momentum of thunder, turning the houses in the city into ruins. .

Although the soldiers under Ryze had experienced wars one after another, they were only relying on their past experience to throw stone bullets.

so……

Compared with the Idar soldiers who have studied mathematics and are equipped with binoculars to observe the enemy's situation, they are still far behind.

All they can do is throw the stone bullets with a catapult, but it depends on God's will wherever they hit and what they can hit.

As for where to refer, it is impossible to do it.

Only those veterans with sufficient experience can lock a rough range based on their intuition and judgment, and then operate the trebuchet to repeat the previous steps.

And while the catapult throws a stone bomb out,

On the east, west, south, and north sides of the capital of Saint Lawrence, the soldiers have long been waiting for them, and under the command of their generals, they launched an attack on the giant city in front of them.

In this siege, the Imperial Marshal Teodoro Lawton served as the commander-in-chief, and the second prince Rez personally supervised the battle, vowing to conquer this giant fortress like a copper wall and iron wall in the shortest possible time.

With the order of the Imperial Marshal Teodoro Lawton, countless soldiers carried or pushed countless powerful siege ordnances and slowly advanced towards the city of St. Lawrence not far away.

Ladder, fly bridge, siege hammer...

Taking advantage of the time to form a siege, the soldiers under Leyz had built countless siege equipment early.

And at this moment,

They finally came in handy.

The scene of tens of thousands of soldiers attacking the city together was undoubtedly extremely shocking.

Looking around, it was all black and overwhelming, which brought great visual impact to the defenders.

The drums of war rumbling, and the flags of war fluttered in the wind.

The tactics of the siege were formulated by Marshal Teodoro.

No one likes to attack by force, and siege instead of attack is the most common strategy, because forcibly attacking the city means that the attacking army will pay extremely heavy casualties and cause extremely painful losses.

But……

Rez had no choice at this time.

And the shortening of war time can only be made up for with the lives of soldiers.

Under the decision of Marshal Teodoro, the siege was divided into two parts.

In the process of rushing from the main formation to the city wall, the first row is full of cannon fodder.

Their role is only to consume the arrows and the physical strength of the defenders, dismantle the ordnance used to resist the horse, and push the siege.

For example, a siege hammer, a ladder...

But in the process of rushing from the foot of the city wall to the top of the city wall, the first row is full of elites.

All of them are battle-tested veterans with extremely rich combat experience, in order to board the city wall in one fell swoop and open up the situation for the army afterwards.

These veterans have the heaviest mission on their shoulders, because once the initial offensive suffers too much setback, the morale of the army will undoubtedly suffer an extremely serious blow!

...

Above the city wall.

Ian Padilla, the commander of the Royal Guards, looked at the soldiers who were not far away like a black tide, and couldn't help frowning tightly.

Four directions, four fronts.

The pressure he was under was really great.

Because Saint Lawrence, the imperial capital, had a towering city wall and was built by Pitzman into a huge fortress with plenty of food and grass, but the number of defenders was limited after all.

The fiasco on the Central Plains caused heavy losses to Pitzman's most elite Imperial Guards Division. Compared with the previous garrison, the number of defenders in the city of St. Lawrence was reduced by tens of thousands!

Even if countless civilians were forcibly recruited to climb the city wall, Ion Padilla still didn't dare to say that he was sure of it.

"Let the arrow!"

Looking at the soldiers used like a tide, Ion Padilla finally gave the order.

Of course he knew that the people in the front were just cannon fodder for consuming arrows, and most of them were young men who were caught temporarily, but Ian Padilla had no other choice.

Immediately,

The defenders behind the battlements bowed their bows and set up arrows.

Thousands of arrows are fired!

The dense arrows pierced through the air, leaving the cannon fodder with a corpse on the ground.

But even so...

The civilian soldiers who rushed towards St. Lawrence frantically did not dare to retreat or even stop at all.

Because standing behind them is the supervising team holding a sharp blade.

Once they show a little bit of cowardice, the members of the supervising team will not hesitate to let their lives be killed on the spot, and even their family members and relatives and friends will be implicated.

Therefore, they had to look back at the appearance of their family members while staring at the blood-red eyes and rushing towards the city wall not far away.

There is still a slim chance to charge forward, so that he can live to the end.

But once you retreat, those who are waiting for yourself and your family will undoubtedly be bound to die.

"Damn! These **** guys!"

Ion Padilla stared at the battle under the city wall. Although the attacking force of ten thousand arrows caused the siege army to drop countless corpses, the distance between them and the city wall was shortening all the time.

"Delay as much as possible, don't let them get close to the wall..."

Ion Padilla knew very well that once the army under the city wall was allowed to successfully board the city wall, the civilian soldiers who had just been recruited by his side would definitely be unable to compete with the veterans who had been fighting for a long time.

But……

Under the excitement of the supervising team and the generous rewards promised by Ryze, as long as someone falls, the soldiers behind will immediately take over the position of that person and continue to charge forward with the ladder.

The intensive rain of arrows showed no mercy, and countless soldiers fell.

But relying on the crazy momentum of going forward, the distance between them and the city wall is constantly shrinking.

"Pang——"

finally,

With a unique sound, Ion Padilla didn't want to see things happen the last-the first ladder was put up on the top of the city.

But this is the first day of the siege!

"Hold it! You must keep it!"

Looking at the trembling civilian soldiers, Ion Padilla let out a roar!

Just when the first ladder was erected on the wall...

The first wave of elite soldiers who followed the cannon fodder had also rushed over and began to climb towards the city wall by the ladder.

Rolling rocks, hard wood...

Under the threat that the enemy might ascend to the city’s head at any time, the soldiers who defended the city seemed to have overcome the fear in their hearts. One pushed down the head of the city.

Both sides are paying casualties, and the attacking side has paid several times more casualties than the defenders.

But……

Although my heart was dripping blood all the time, Rez couldn't stop calling.

that's all,

one day……

Two days...

Three days...

After three consecutive days of unsuccessful siege,

The army under Rez finally boarded the city of St. Lawrence on the morning of the fourth day!

Ryze dispatched battle-tested veterans, while defending the city were heavily armed Royal Guards and civilian soldiers temporarily organized.

but……

To be honest, although the name of the Royal Guards sounds bluffing, they have never been on the battlefield before.

The Marshal Teodoro, who commanded this siege, also keenly discovered the gap in the southern wall, and immediately overwhelmed more elites in the army, intending to take down St. Lawrence’s in one fell swoop. The wall on the south side!

...

When Christopher followed his team and was urgently sent to the southern city wall, there was already a mess.

The city walls were in chaos, and the siege army and the defending army fought fiercely. The blood flowed like a pour, the corpses piled up, and the scarlet blood almost stained the battlements.

As an honest civilian, has Christopher ever seen such a tragic scene?

The only thing he could do was to stand there blankly with the saber in his hand, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

but……

Behind Christopher, there was a continuous rush of defenders, so that even though he was so scared in his heart, he was still pushed forward by the soldiers...forward...

When he came back to his senses, those fierce siege soldiers were only three to five meters away from him!

Two trembled, frightened.

But when he really faced the danger between life and death, his body seemed to burst with unparalleled strength, and his heart also ignited a sudden courage!

At this moment, Christopher has only one thought in his mind, that is...

He wants to go home!

He doesn't care if he can kill someone, as long as he can live!

Because they still have a wife and a son, they are still in the city waiting for their safe return!

The soldiers in front of them fell one by one, and they fell heavily to the ground. The blood from their wounds stained the battlements red, making the bricks under Christopher's feet extremely sticky.

finally……

When the last soldier standing in front of Christopher suddenly turned into a headless body, he had to face the blood-stained enemies directly!

He didn't even have time to look at the opponent's appearance, and the shining sharp blade smashed towards him.

"clang--"

This is the sound of the frontal collision of swords.

Between life and death, Christopher's instinct for survival in his mind made him suddenly raise the saber in his hand to block the oncoming chopping.

at this moment,

He has no distracting thoughts in his mind, and he has only one thought-he wants to live! He wants to kill the enemy in front of him!

Because of his poor family background, this civilian, who had not even killed a chicken before, clenched the saber in his hand and swung it bitterly at the enemy in front of him.

In that person's stunned eyes...

I only heard a puff, the saber in his hand pierced the enemy's abdominal cavity.

he,

Christopher!

A commoner who has worked exceptionally for generations,

Finally at this moment...

For survival,

Killed!

He strenuously drew out the saber that pierced the enemy's body.

The blade that was originally cold had been soaked in warm blood at this time.

A drop of blood, along the tip of the knife, dripped onto the wall at Christopher's feet.

but……

This is only the first one,

In front of him, countless enemies were rushing towards him.

He hacked hard and waved the weapon in his hand as hard as he could, the weakness in his eyes had long since faded.

Either the enemy will die, or he will die!

The belief in going home supported him to kill one enemy after another rushing towards him.

but……

After all, he was just a civilian who had never set foot on the battlefield before.

Between the electric light and flint,

Christopher suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his abdomen, just like he had killed the soldier before. At this time, he was also hit by the enemy's sword.

He just felt that the weapon was twisted sharply in his abdominal cavity, and the whole person was immediately surrounded by a heart-piercing pain.

At this moment,

His eyes became blurred, his hands and feet became weak.

He felt as if he loosened his right hand, and the sharp blade that he had only held in his hand fell to the ground.

The saber was drawn out,

Christopher fell to the ground hard, just like the soldiers who died before.

He felt that someone was stepping on his body, pressing him to breathe. He felt the blood gurgling out of the wound in his abdomen, and he felt his own life, slowly passing by.

The killing sound in the ear seemed to have gone away from him.

At a certain moment, he seemed to hear his wife's call and remembered his promise to his son...

finally……

Christopher's eyes went dark, and another dutiful civilian died on the wall of St. Lawrence.

...

Marshal Teodoro's plan succeeded.

After paying the casualties of more than two thousand elite soldiers, the soldiers under Rez finally occupied the southern wall of St. Lawrence on the afternoon of the fourth day of the entire army's siege.

The large and heavy city gate finally collapsed under the impact of the siege truck one after another.

This last fortress belonging to Pitzmann finally revealed a huge gap at this moment. Under the order of Marshal Teodoro, countless soldiers poured into the city like a tide.

The fighting in the city is still going on~www.novelbuddy.com~ But at this moment, anyone can see that the defeat of the defenders is irreversible!

And the huge boulder that had been pressing in Leyz's heart finally fell down the moment the city gate was breached.

There are corpses everywhere under the city wall, and countless civilians who have been forcibly recruited have been buried forever on this battlefield.

Leizi looked at the imperial capital not far away, feeling quite complicated.

In order to attack the city frantically these days, Ryze has paid more than 40,000 casualties!

but……

It's all worth it!

"This war..."

"It's time to end!"
