Chapter 447 The Tragic Siege of the South Gate
The attack begins.

Zhang Qiang was fortunate to witness the attacking scene on Mamunboye's side.

Because his west gate actually has nothing to do, except for defense, it is just waving the flag and shouting. If it is weak, in the eyes of the enemy, the north gate should be the weakest, because the north gate has no troops, at least in the eyes of the enemy, it has no troops. .

The built siege tower was pushed by some Vikia militiamen and recruits, and approached the enemy's castle.

There are more than a dozen siege towers, and each siege tower requires [-] militiamen to push, followed by [-] infantrymen, accounting for almost half of the troops.In the middle of the siege tower, the Vegia infantry and the Swadia Kingdom infantry, carrying the scull shield, raised the shield to cover the archers behind them and shoot arrows to suppress the Vegia archers on the enemy's tower.

About three miles away from the city wall, there are more than a dozen catapults. Under the control of the remaining militiamen, recruits, and light infantry, the infantry continuously poured snow-covered stones and wooden pier , Put it into the huge throwing pocket of the catapult, which looks like a big tank, and then, amidst the shouts of the commanding knights and attendants, one by one boulders and wooden piers are shot at the enemy's city wall and the gate tower.

The catapults and bed crossbows that were smashed on them scattered in all directions and became parts one by one.

The enemy also took advantage of the height of the terrain to use catapults to attack Zhang Qiang's catapult position.

However, because the enemy's catapults were on the city wall, their angles were relatively fixed, their shooting range was limited, and they were arranged densely. Therefore, relatively speaking, the catapults commanded by Mamoun Boye took advantage of Zhang Qiang's side, which had a wider terrain.

They can spread out and shower enemies with uninterrupted, continuous boulders.

After the enemy smashed for two hours, they had to suspend this confrontation because the stones they had prepared were gone.

Compared with the loss of the catapults, Zhang Qiang's infantry lost more. The siege towers destroyed by the catapults and bed crossbows, the scull shields, and the infantry and archers charging with shields suffered heavy casualties. Roughly, 50 Many people died, and more than 60 people were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

From this point of view, the enemy's Threzk Fort is still quite valued, with heavy troops deployed and complete defense facilities, and the generals are very good at how to defend.

The infantry continued to advance, the archers prepared their bows and arrows, and the remaining siege towers pushed forward one after another. Those lost siege towers were abandoned during the attack, and the remaining soldiers dragged the bodies of their comrades and returned to the city. The rear was rearranged and organized by their own leaders.

Zhang Qiang's catapults continued to attack, and some bed crossbows were also pulled up and pushed to a suitable position, and began to destroy the battlements at the top of the city for the pedals of the siege tower to be lowered.

When the attacking troops advanced to 500 meters from the enemy's city wall, the enemy's archers began to throw bows and arrows. With the height of the city wall more than ten meters high, some archers with strong arms began to approach the infantry under the siege tower and the middle of the two siege towers. infantry and archers shoot arrows.

Casualties appeared again, although not many, every team had one or two unlucky people who fell on the way from time to time, but it also affected the morale of the soldiers.

When advancing to 300 meters, the opponent's bed crossbow began to push to the battlement mouth, leaning over to attack the advancing scull shields, destroying one by one scull shields, causing huge damage to the infantry behind the scull shields.

The bed crossbow of Zhang Qiang's side risked the damage of the archers and advanced to a distance of 250 meters to counterattack the enemy's bed crossbow.

An hour later, the catapult destroyed all the catapults and bed crossbows on the enemy's wall, causing great damage to the soldiers on the enemy's wall, and at the same time covered the attacking team to advance 150 meters below the enemy's wall, and then had to stop the attack.

Catapults, a long-range weapon in the cold weapon era, are really worrying about their accuracy. Within a range of 150 meters, they may fall into your own team, or fall into the enemy's city, causing damage to buildings, and may also fall into the city wall. On the city wall and the towers on the city wall, archery towers, and catapults, bed crossbows, and guard soldiers cause damage, but it is very laborious, and the effect is about 5.00%.

At this time, it depends on the archers on both sides. The archers come and go, shooting at each other.

In order to be more precise, Zhang Qiang's attacking formation had to advance, and the enemy's archers could be dealt precise damage at a distance of about 80-110 meters. However, due to the high terrain, the enemy could attack Zhang Qiang's team at a distance of 150 meters. Caused a lot of damage.

80 meters away, it depends on whose archer is more experienced. He can not only kill the enemy, but also dodge, so as not to be hurt by the enemy. Because the closer it is, the more harmful it is to the attacking party, and the more disadvantageous it is. This is the geographical factor.

The infantry under the siege tower was even worse. They had to brave the enemy's bows and arrows and continue to push the siege tower forward, without the power to fight back.

The enemy started to launch rockets and set the siege tower on fire, followed by recruits from Vikia and the Kingdom of Swadia who climbed up the tower one after another, and used shields to resist the enemy's rockets for the tower.

Two siege towers were set on fire by the enemy's rockets. Although Zhang Qiang's infantry risked their lives and sacrificed the lives of several soldiers, they did not get the siege towers intact and were pushed under the enemy's city.

The tower was ignited in the raging fire, and the remaining infantry had to retreat out of the enemy's strike range in embarrassment. They were stopped by the officers and formed about 200 meters away from the enemy's bow and arrow range.

At this time, the entire siege tower team had advanced to the nearest 30 meters of the enemy.

The archer had to stop at a distance of 50 meters, because there was no angle to shoot the arrow any further.

Zhang Qiang did a little calculation. In this wave of siege battles, more than 100 people were lost and 150 people were injured. Adding the previous losses, the number of people who lost combat effectiveness reached 300 people.

Almost one-third of Mamunboye's total force.

The number of enemies on the city wall has also decreased a lot, mainly due to the damage caused by the catapults and bed crossbows. Because the archers are in a disadvantaged position, they do not cause much damage to the enemy, and they mainly have the effect of suppressing the enemy's archers.

The enemy's low-pitched horns could be faintly heard on the city wall, and then another wave of enemies emerged from the battlements where there were many other enemies and damaged soldiers on the city wall.

There are infantry and there are archers.

The enemy also suffered heavy losses, and they recruited manpower from the city and other parts of the city wall to reinforce the south gate. This is really what Zhang Qiang wanted to achieve.

Finally, the siege towers came up against the enemy's walls.
