Chapter 58 Siege War

"Is the war finally about to start?" Enzo's eyes flashed, as steady as a rock.

"Clarence, pass the order down." Tyrone said solemnly, "Order the soldiers in the city to assemble, recall all the rangers patrolling outside, and defend the city gate with all your strength!"

"Yes, sir." Clarence received the order and turned to leave the room.

"Uncle Tyrone, let's go to the city wall to have a look." Enzo stood up, shook his body, put on the light armor hanging on the wall, and inserted the black short blade into his waist, and then went to the city wall with Tyrone.

On the sturdy and towering city wall, there was a murderous atmosphere.

Countless soldiers ran back and forth, bringing things like kerosene and rolling stones. Archers lined up in a row, and more than a dozen heavy crossbow carts had been set up, and large crossbow arrows like long spears were flashing cold light.

In the wilderness in the distance, the army of Black Crow City approached step by step.

The cavalry rode on war horses in front, their messy iron hooves trampled on the ground, making a slight trembling sound. The black-armored infantry followed closely behind, with a momentum like a dark cloud pressing down on the land, forming square formations and slowly attacking.

Between several square formations, a carriage slowly moved forward like a moon surrounded by stars.

The black body inlaid with gold was simple and luxurious, and the pure copper wheels rolled steadily on the ground. The eight tall horses pulling the carriage forward were all snow-white without a single stray hair, as if they had noble blood.

"The person in that carriage should be Philip!" Tyron looked solemnly, raised his hand and pointed forward.

A hundred meters away from the gate of Kaiyuan, the Black Crow Army suddenly stopped.

The black carriage pulled by eight white horses came to the front of the army, and the door of the carriage was slowly pushed open. A man in white gorgeous clothes with a calm and elegant temperament slowly walked out. He raised his hand and called a cavalryman beside him and gave him a few instructions.

The cavalryman received the order and then carried a flag with a flock of crows circling around it and rode to the city wall.

"Listen, people of Kaiyuan City!" The flag-carrying cavalryman pulled the reins and shouted loudly, "By the order of my lord Philip, Black Crow City requires you to surrender immediately and offer the head of the rebel O'Quinn, otherwise the wrath of the Sky Knight will burn Kaiyuan City to the ground!"

"You want us to surrender? And you want to offer the head of Brother O'Quinn?"

Tyron laughed in anger, snatched the ox horn bow from the archer beside him, and pulled the bowstring into a full moon with his strong arms.

Whoosh!

The long arrow shot out, and the crow flag held by the cavalryman broke with a sound.

On the black carriage, Philip saw the flag symbolizing the family fall to the ground, and his face suddenly turned black.

"Since you are looking for death, don't blame me." Philip's face was grim, and then he waved his hand, and the army behind him continued to advance. The infantry in the army raised the ladder and placed it on the city wall in a moment.

"Shoot!" Seeing that the Black Crow Army began to attack the city, Tyron also ordered the archers to fight back.

The war started again, in this desolate land.

The Black Crow Army's strength was more than five times that of Kaiyuan City. Neither Enzo nor Tyron considered facing the enemy head-on.

Since Philip wanted to get Kaiyuan City, the most appropriate way was to rely on the city wall defense to consume the Black Crow Army's strength.

The Black Crow City soldiers wanted to climb the city wall along the ladder, but they were repeatedly shot by the crossbowmen. The fine steel crossbow arrows shot by the more than ten heavy crossbow vehicles could not even resist the knight's body protection fighting spirit.

"Siege vehicle, ready!" A knight commander waved the flag in the Black Crow Army.

The siege vehicle that had been prepared for a long time was pushed out. Dozens of burly soldiers pushed the siege vehicle towards the city gate under the rain of arrows, and then pushed the round battering ram with all their strength, making a series of dull sounds.

"Throw rolling stones!" Clarence shouted, commanding the soldiers on the city wall to throw rolling stones down.

The hard and heavy rolling stones were pushed down the city wall, and immediately killed several Black Crow soldiers who pushed the battering ram. Seeing this, the commander of the Black Crow Army immediately sent several knights to the battle and replaced them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battering ram hit the city gate, making a series of dull sounds, and inside the city gate, countless Kaiyuan soldiers were running back and forth, moving pieces of rocks, trees and other things to block the city gate and prevent the impact of the siege machine.

After a long siege, the commander of the Black Crow Army sent more soldiers to climb the ladders. After countless soldiers were shot by arrows and killed by rolling stones, several cavalrymen finally climbed onto the city wall.

"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Tyron drew out his long sword and shouted loudly.

"Raging Wind Slash!" Tyron looked grim, swung his sword forward, and the sword energy instantly strangled several Black Crow soldiers.

The Black Crow soldiers who finally climbed the city wall were all killed by Tyron, but then the Black Crow Army's offensive became more fierce, and many knights with fighting spirit joined the battlefield, trying to seize the Kaiyuan Tower.

The war became more and more intense, and the blood stained the city wall red.

Soldiers from the Black Crow City kept falling down the ladders, and the corpses had already piled up like a mountain under the city wall. Behind the Black Crow Army, Philip stood on the carriage with his hands behind his back, looking at everything in front of him indifferently, as if he didn't care about the casualties of his soldiers.

"Lord City Lord, our casualties are quite heavy. Should we ask the soldiers to stop the attack?"

Not far away, the commander of the Black Crow Army hesitated and couldn't help but say.

"No need, continue the attack!" Philip's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Order the soldiers to prepare fierce flaming oil, let the knight-level officers in the army carry it, and immediately launch a round of charge to blow up the gate of Kaiyuan for me!"

"Fierce oil? This..." The commander's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated, "The soldiers are attacking the city. If we use kerosene to burn the city gate at this time, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

"Humph, it's been so long since we've been able to capture Kaiyuan City, and we don't need to care about the lives of a bunch of trash." Philip snorted coldly, expressionless, "As long as we can capture Kaiyuan City, it doesn't matter even if we lose more soldiers. Anyway, after this war, everything on the ice field will start again."

"Yes, sir." The commander sighed in his heart, but had to execute the order.
