Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 388 Siege
"Fire arrows!"

Kanye swung his sword and turned his head and shouted, while the longbowman behind him was aiming with his bow.

Accompanied by the whistling sound, the rain of arrows flew towards the top of the city, and most of them were blocked by the stacks of arrows. Taking advantage of the gap between the arrows of Qi Weini's archers, the enemies on the top of the city showed their heads one after another to fight back.

But Qi Weini's archers were basically hunters, and what they were best at was continuous blows like a torrential rain. The first round of volleys ended, and the second round had already arrived.

The rain of arrows made the defenders on the tower unable to lift their heads. They could only hide behind the stone wall and pray that bad luck would not befall them.

"Follow me again!" Seeing the enemy shrinking back, Big Bear Barrow shouted immediately, his eyes had turned blood red, and he and an armored centurion from his own territory were responsible for blasting open the city gate with a charging car.

They've scrapped the first four rush cars, and this one is the last one on hand.

Many corpses lay next to the burning car, some of which were Qiwei Ni's army who had been shot dead, and some of which were a ball of meat paste smashed by the fallen defenders.

There were screams one after another, and dying cries were everywhere.The fire was burning with the corpses as fuel, emitting a disgusting smell. People kept falling beside the rushing car, but someone took over immediately. With Baro's encouragement, they almost stepped on the corpses of their comrades-in-arms.The roof of the car made of thick cowhide was piled with gravel and stumps.

"careful!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the crowd, a huge stone flew over their heads and hit the city wall in front of them directly.

The counterweight trebuchet next to the Zerber Terrace began to show its power. The stones thrown by those huge war machines easily left huge holes on the walls that made the soldiers of the attacking side suffer. The soldiers defending the city fell from the collapsed city wall one after another.

"Dodge!" Barrow I shouted, and used his thick arms to push away the falling stones.

But not everyone has his strength. Many people jumped out from behind arrow shields and shields in order to avoid the stones.

Seeing this situation, the enemy immediately used bows and arrows and boiling oil to fight back against the defenseless soldiers. The scorpion crossbow fixed on the city wall also started to fire. The huge crossbow directly pierced through the arrow shield, nailing the people behind to the ground.

After the smoke from the catapult cleared away, the garrison faced a terrible fact: a gap was smashed in their city wall.

Of course Qiweini would not let go of this opportunity. Randall and Batesmore led the tortoise shell phalanx formed by their subordinates to attack the vacant place, and the defenders who got up from the ruins immediately took up weapons to block them.

The army led by Batesmore was just like him, unwavering in the slightest by these obstacles. They still advanced in a very strict formation, using the long spears in their hands to pick down the enemies on the stone piles.

Seeing that the line of defense was about to be breached, the enemy commander mobilized all the reserve troops to block the gap. They acted like crazy and desperately blocked the advance of Qiwei Ni's troops. The fleeing enemies seemed quite different, and they were determined to hold the city to the death.

"How can this group of people fight so well?" Stannis' troops have been repelled dozens of times, and they have not suffered such a tenacious battle since he raised his troops. The information he received was that the city There were only more than 1000 garrison troops and 20 trebuchets, but under the siege of his 5000 troops, Dreihem had held on for a week.

"No, I must take this city!"

Then Stannis, regardless of the fact that he was already a king, personally led his own guards-only Richard came to the front line in person, and he decided that this attack must take the city.

And the defenders were at the end of their rope. They used all their means, even pushed those huge scorpion crossbows to the gap, and shot directly at the Qiweini soldiers who rushed up.

And the living people on the city wall were not idle, they threw stones and wooden barriers towards the ground of the city, or poured hot oil down.

For a while, this small gap became the most intense place for fighting on the entire battlefield.

And these methods finally disrupted Qi Weini's tortoise shell formation. They abandoned the spears in their hands one after another, but drew out their daggers to meet the enemy. Everyone fought together, like a huge meat grinder. The sound of fighting, Shouts, screams, and screams intertwined together.

Under the desperate resistance of the defenders, Barrow and his men could not move forward no matter what.

"The first regiment of my second regiment is already ready, but why haven't they entered the battle!" Stannis raised the curtain and walked in with a sword in his hand. At this time, his armor was covered with blood.

"It's not time yet." In the camp, Hillier was still studying the map on the table. This time, he will be Qiweini's commander, because he is the only one with experience in siege, and even Stannis can't disrupt it. his deployment.

"This is my last reserve team, and everyone in front is asking for reinforcements!" Stannis was a little anxious.

"Yeah." Hillier nodded unhurriedly.

"Damn it! Hillier, we might lose!" Stannis finally yelled.

"My king, it looks like you still don't have much confidence." Hillier put down his pen and stared at Stannis.

Stannis became a little strange, he had already put all his cards on the table, why did the other party say that he had no confidence?
Hillier continued: "Our numbers are too small. According to the previous situation, we need at least 1 people to launch an attack on a big city like the siege."

"Hillier, you're too cautious. Sometimes it's a good thing, but sometimes it's deadly!" Stannis felt like he was going crazy.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the First Corps is no longer in the camp."

"What, where did you take my army!"

"They have entered the city from the dry well, led by His Excellency Robert."

"What are you doing!" Stannis was speechless. He didn't expect Hillier to mobilize troops behind his back.

"You said that I am the commander of this siege battle, and there is no need for me to report everything to you."

Stannis somewhat regretted handing over the command to Hillier, and he stepped out of the tent, deciding to lead the soldiers into battle himself.

Charlie stepped forward, his armor was more sophisticated than ordinary knights, and he was not equipped with a short sword, but a long sword on his waist.The Kingsguard had gathered the last of the camp at Stannis' orders.

"Take your army and go forward with me, this time we must capture Drehem!" Stannis had already decided to bypass Hillier, and the whistling sound of the trebuchet was deafening, forcing him to shout out loudly.

Charlie nodded to him, and shouted an order to his subordinates: "The team is ready!"

Hearing the commander's order, the soldiers in the first row pushed forward slowly with the arrow shields, while the soldiers behind raised their broad shields above their heads to block the bows and arrows.

Accompanied by the sound of neat steps, the team launched a final attack towards Drehem, which was burning with raging fire in the distance.
