Chapter 2272 Siege
The city wall of Hilletirs is now full of Sector tribesmen. Of course, the people standing on the city wall are basically civilians in the city. Yes, the church finally passed the method of calling civilians to defend the city, and Sonia was also temporarily persuaded by Li Huailin.
The thoughts of these civilians are also simple. In fact, they have not experienced any wars. Anyway, they heard that the Bayaki God they believe in needs them, so they stood up, and they didn't think about the cruelty of war. thing.
After all, Hilletirs City is the main city, and the preparations for armaments are very sufficient. Every civilian also received a weapon, and then sent it directly to the city wall to stand. And those people who are directly under the church's troops have been temporarily promoted to become small officers who lead these civilians. After all, they have at least received military training. Although they may not be much different from these civilians in terms of combat, they can at least execute and convey orders.
It's just that most of them don't know what they are going to face now, and there are even some people chatting on the city wall, as if they came here for an outing. This relaxed scene continued until Li Huailin's troops arrived.
When the enemy's troops appeared, the whole scene suddenly quieted down, because there were too many enemies. They didn't need any eyesight at all. What they looked out of the city from the city wall were patches of red torches, which looked like they were connected into a sea of flames. This feeling of overwhelming soldiers made everyone's heart heavy, and of course they couldn't tell if they were joking.
The siege battle began immediately, and Li Huailin's troops launched an attack almost as soon as they arrived at the scene. Seeing the sea of flames rushing towards their main city, the Sektor civilians in the city launched an attack hastily.
As soon as the battle started, these civilians immediately realized the cruelty of the battlefield. Turned into a lump of powder. The battlefield was in chaos, and the civilians didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the troops directly under them were still yelling at them to fight back, so they could only follow orders mechanically and try to find a way to fight back.
This way of counterattack is of course random. As I said before, the armaments of Hilletirs City are relatively sufficient, and theoretically speaking, it is of course sufficient for defense. But the problem is that these armaments are used by soldiers. For example, you said that there are many bows and arrows, but do most civilians know how to use them? It doesn't matter if you can't draw the bow, even if you are strong enough to draw it, can you shoot it? Therefore, the efficiency of the civilian army's counterattack is appallingly low. And the more reliable method they researched was to smash things.
Yes, the effect of directly lifting something and smashing it down is much higher than that of using bows and arrows, which require much less skill than bows and arrows. But the problem is... It is obvious that the armament reserves of Heletiers City will not take this situation into account. They have a lot of bows and arrows, but stones and the like...
Of course, the way is invented by people.
What if there are no stones? Let’s demolish the house. There are so many houses in the city. Aren’t they all piled up with stones? Now the church needs you to donate your own house. fuck off.
So the city immediately set up a house demolition team and a removal team. The house was demolished here, and the other side quickly moved to the top of the city wall, and started smashing at the soldiers below.
Not to mention, the smashing effect is really good. What everyone didn't expect was that such a defensive battle was actually played in style. In the past few hours, the invading troops of the human race attacked several times in a row, but they were all beaten back by this improvised civilian army, and so far no one has climbed the city wall, let alone broke the city. or something.
Such news made the entire church council very excited. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Doesn't it mean that this team is very strong? They can destroy their third army casually, what's the matter now, this kind of combat power is no problem at all.
Such news made Sonia look at Li Huailin next to her with a little worry, but Li Huailin immediately gave her a relieved expression, as if everything was under control.
Yes, Li Huailin had expected all of this. The defensive efficiency of Sektor civilians is so low here, but how high do you think the offensive efficiency of Li Huailin's troops can be? In fact, Li Huailin's troops have nothing to do with this city wall.
The city wall of Hilletirs is a bit too exaggerated, it is really strong and a bit crazy. In fact, Li Huailin originally thought that the city wall was easy to solve. If it didn't work, anyway, he would find a dragon to shoot it and it would be over. But then I realized it wasn't that simple at all.
Here I want to talk about the huge black stone pillar that appeared after clearing the dungeon on the Huaxia mainland last time. That thing is obviously created by Bayaki to pollute the mainland. It is this black stone pillar that has been spraying. With black smoke. No one said that just destroying this black pillar would be the end of it. Some people did say this, but they tried it. I don’t know what material this black pillar is made of. It is really extremely hard, let alone ordinary. He found a sword master and slashed directly at the pillar, but there was no response.
This hardness is obviously close to the level of "indestructible", but why we talk about this, it is because the walls of the city of Heletirs are made of this material. According to their own statement, the Sektor star monsters, when these Sektor tribe followed Bayaki, they were still very weak and had no civilization. They even had problems with self-protection on this dangerous continent. At this time, the great god Bayaki, who understood their suffering, stepped forward and built such a wall for them to give them shelter. Later, they built the city inside the wall and developed slowly. After that, the city wall we see now is built with stones on top of the foundation of the old city wall, and it has become the current situation.
Of course, this is a legend, and I don’t know what happened back then. According to Li Huailin’s idea, it is estimated that Bayaki wanted to build a base here to protect his own defense facilities. It is God's blessing. However, Li Huailin has also asked Sonia to verify the authenticity of the problem. This city wall is really difficult to deal with.
Li Huailin's troops really have nothing to do with this city wall now. The biggest problem is that they don't have siege equipment. They captured some simple siege equipment when they were fighting with the Third Army before, but those siege equipment were the third The legion brought it to support the siege troops in the east, and it was prepared to deal with a city of the level of Wellings City, but what would be the consequence of using it to deal with a city of the level of Heletiers City? To give a simple example, the ladders in their hands, two ladders connected back and forth, were placed under the city of Heletiers and could not reach the top of the city wall.
So don't look at the fact that Li Huailin's troops are attacking the city so fiercely. The soldiers are carrying this kind of grafted ladder and rushing towards the city wall. In fact, even if they rush to the front, the ladder will not stand up. Just not long enough.
So Li Huailin didn't intend to let them take down the city from the very beginning. This is basically impossible, unless all their soldiers can fly. And Li Huailin is just pretending to do these things. In fact, those soldiers carrying the ladders are going to be smashed. Even if they are lucky enough not to be hit, they will lie down on the ground when they are close to the city wall. It seemed that he was injured and fell to the ground. After a while, he slowly climbed back by himself. Anyway, the battlefield is so chaotic now, no one will care whether these people were hit or not.
These few sieges seemed to be very powerful, but they were actually just pretending. Li Huailin didn't try his best to fight at all. These charging troops were basically the reserve army, not the main force at all. Casualties are also very limited. It seems that the people on the city smashed very effectively, knocking back the attacking troops several times. It seems that the attacking troops suffered serious losses, but in fact Li Huailin's troops rarely approached the city wall. , how far can you just throw things? In fact, many of the people who fell fell for no reason while running, as if they had been seriously injured. Of course, it was true that he was killed and injured again, but it was definitely not as much as it seemed.
Li Huailin's letting the troops put on a show is of course for another step of the plan, so he will come to the church now to continue "reporting secret information".
The fighting lasted for several hours. After several hours of fighting, the Sektor civilians on the city wall were almost exhausted. Even if their racial talent is strong, they can't play like this, just throwing stones is so tiring. But from their point of view, the current situation seems to be pretty good, at least the other party didn't fight at all.
And now the battle seems to have stopped for the time being, the opponent has not blown the horn of attack again, and now the troops are slowly retreating, feeling like they are going to take a rest first, which also allows them to take a breather, after all, the battle is really Too much work.
On the other side, Li Huailin's assault troops are already preparing for an assault.
"Your Majesty, will the other party really open the city gate? In this situation?" McCann couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, I've made an agreement with the other party's conductor, and it will start in a while." Li Huailin nodded.
"Huh?" McCann was still confused and didn't know what to say.
