king of ros

Chapter 453 Accidental Interlude
The Ross soldiers put on their shields and rushed towards the wall like a giant beast like a tide.

The exclamation and the call of orders came from the defenders, and the Visby people on the battlements, who were suppressed by the arrows and couldn't lift their heads, finally found their courage under the fists and curses of the leaders and officers. Get out there and start firing back.

Continuous arrows shrouded the battlefield like a mist, and the attacking side's arrows suppressed the defenders at the top of the city with all their strength, bringing screams continuously.

The defenders' arrows were concentrated on the slowly approaching siege equipment and the impacting infantry. In their view, that was the biggest threat. However, most of the arrows hit the siege vehicle body and shield, but from time to time There were also a few unlucky ones who were shot and fell down.

The soldiers put the ladders on the city wall, and then bravely climbed up. Unfortunately, the brave also died miserably. They were either crushed to death by oncoming stones, or died between spears and arrows. Down.

"Tsk, something is not going well."

Looking at all this, Rostislav commented dissatisfiedly, although these people were originally cannon fodder for consumption, seeing them frustrated like this, Grand Duke Ross still felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

"Send some real fighters up! Let the battle end quickly, the Visby people are so embarrassed to fight those cannon fodder, they must have no fighting power!"

Just when Rostislav decided to end the battle as soon as possible, the siege vehicles surrounded by soldiers also hit the city wall, and countless Ross soldiers wearing fur felt hats and armed coats swarmed up, and the soldiers on the city wall The Visbys fought.

The battle on the city wall was very fierce. People kept falling from the wall. Some unlucky people fell directly from the city wall and hit the ground heavily. A siege vehicle was ignited by the defenders' grease, and the soldiers on it had to be embarrassed dropped it.

On the other hand, the car that hit the city behind also slowly pushed up and moved towards the city gate.This city crash vehicle is very crude, and due to the tight construction schedule, some wooden baffles are simply arranged for protection, and the key parts are reinforced with iron plates.

That's why the crash car was deliberately left behind. After all, its defense measures are too simple.

However, this crude crash car has stronger protection, that is, the crossbowmen under Rostislav who are dressed like heavy infantry, they tightly surround the infantry pushing the cart, and all shots at the crash car will be destroyed. Get their relentless counterattack.

The counterattack of the defenders was very weak, and their arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor of the crossbowmen. Although the crossbowmen were shot like hedgehogs, they had no effect and were still alive and kicking. They could only count on Those crossbowmen didn't wear soft armor, which could at least leave them with some small wounds.

At the beginning, some people insisted on shooting arrows, but soon no one did it anymore. Those crossbowmen shot fast and hard. People who did this were often shot down quickly. The defenders could only look at Ross like this People pushed the crash car under the city gate.

It's a pity that the defenders had expected this kind of situation. With an order, a large amount of asphalt was poured into the killing hole in the city gate, followed by a torch.

The crash car was immediately ignited, and the Ross people who had been tightly surrounding him scattered crazily. Although the armor of the crossbowmen was strong, they couldn't prevent the flames.From the sky, it looks like a swarm of ants fleeing in all directions.

Rostislav curled his lips when he saw all this. Although it was a pity, it was also an expected defensive method, and he didn't kill many people, so it didn't matter.

And although the situation at the city gate has not been opened, but on the city wall, the situation has been completely opened.

The soldiers composed of citizens in Visby may be able to block the Ross people with their blood and bravery for a while, and compete with them, but the main body of these guys is either too young or too old after all, how long can they resist the Ross people?
The Visbys on the walls collapse irreversibly, throwing away their weapons and ambitions to defend the city, and flee to their homes.

But Mayor Haakon and his guards were also very helpless in the face of such a situation, and finally had no choice but to retreat into the city.

Except for a small number of people who killed the upper brains, most of the Ross people were focused on completing Rostislav's task, which was to control the city wall. Rushing into the city with insufficient troops would only lead to failure.

The Visby people guarding the tower were the most determined part of the defenders, so it took a lot of cost and time for the Ross people to take the tower, but it was best to take it down with a sword anyway.

With the control of the city tower, the gate was naturally opened under the busyness of these Ross people. It happened that at this time, the heavy infantry sent by Rostislav arrived on the battlefield, and they rushed in with the wide open city gate.

The Russians jumped over the siege engine that crashed under the flames, and entered one of the most prosperous cities in the Baltic Sea. They wanted glory, but more for wealth. The richest city in the Baltic Sea could be opened before them. up!
"Forward! Forward! Let the whole army advance! Enter the city and control it!"

Seeing this, Rostislav yelled, and following his orders, groups of soldiers on standby also moved.

But the advance of the soldiers was terrible, everyone was scrambling, and it would be too bad for them if they couldn't get in and grab a hand, everyone was scrambling, afraid of being left behind.

Under such circumstances, the order of the troops became more and more chaotic, until the guards showed their swords and restored order with blood.

A worse situation ensued. The soldiers who entered the city first began to plunder the citizens of Visby. They broke into the houses of local people, raped women, or murdered and set fire to them.

There were not many soldiers still advancing. Although they were driving the Visby people now, according to the news that came back, they were obviously walking slower and slower, and they were getting more and more resistance.

After hearing the news, Rostislav's expression turned ugly. He didn't mind the looting, but this was not the time!Instead of dealing with Visby's town hall, they ran off to loot?

Rostislav felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have ordered so impulsively, so it seemed that it would take a lot longer to resolve this battle.

Yes, even though such a problem was mentioned, Rostislav's power overwhelmed the city after all, and there was no need to worry about victory.

And at this time, another bad news came, "Lord Rostislav! The Gotland fleet is back! They have broken through the blockade and sailed into the city port!"

"What! What did you say? Damn, why are these things one after another, damn it, Domhnall, bring the rest of the people and follow me, just mess around, victory must belong to us!"

Following Rostislav's words, his main force started to move, and this was also the most powerful team on this battlefield.

At this time, the personal soldiers also restored order, making room for Rostislav to move forward.
