Chapter 58: Siege

"Is the war finally going to start?" Enzo's eyes flashed, as steady as Mount Tai.

"Clarence, pass the order on." Tyron said solemnly, "Order the soldiers in the city to assemble, and all the rangers patrolling outside should be recalled and defend the city gates with all their strength!"

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

"Uncle Tyron, let's go and take a look at the city wall." Enzo stood up as he said, shook his body, put on the light armor hung on the wall, and inserted the jet black short blade in his waist, and then it was convenient for Tyron. Go to the city wall together.

The strong and towering city wall filled with a breath of murder.

Countless soldiers ran back and forth, bringing in kerosene, rolling stones and the like. Archers were waiting in a row. More than a dozen heavy ballistas had already been set up, and the large crossbow arrows, which looked like long spears, were shining coldly.

In the wilderness in the distance, the Black Rook City army was approaching.

The cavalry walked forward on a war horse, the messy iron hooves trampled on the ground, making a slight tremor, and the stubborn and sharp infantrymen in black armor followed closely behind, with an aura like a dark cloud, forming a phalanx. Slowly hit.

Between the square formations, a carriage slowly moved forward like stars arched over the moon.

The gold-inlaid black body is simple and luxurious, and the pure copper wheels are smoothly rolled on the ground. The eight high-headed horses pulling the carriage forward are all white and without a single hair, and they seem to have a noble blood.

"The man in that carriage should be Philip!" Tyronn's eyes were solemn, and he raised his finger forward.

A hundred meters away from the gate of Kaiyuan, the black crow army suddenly stopped.

Eight white horse-drawn black carriages came to the front of the army. The door of the carriage was slowly opened. A man with a calm and elegant temperament dressed in a white costume walked out slowly, raising his hand and placing a cavalry beside him. Called and ordered a few words.

The cavalry got the order, then he carried a banner painted with crows hovering, and rode his horse under the city wall.

"Listen to the people of Kaiyuan City!" The flag-bearing cavalry pulled on the reins and shouted loudly, "On the order of my lord Philip, the Black Rook City requires you to surrender immediately and present the head of the insurgent O'Queen, otherwise the sky knight His anger will surely destroy Kaiyuan City!"

"Take us to surrender? You have to sacrifice the head of Brother O'Queen?"

Tyron laughed furiously, grabbing the horned bow of the archer beside him, and his strong arms slammed the bowstring into a full moon.

Whoosh!

Long arrows shot out, and the crow banner held by the cavalryman broke.

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

"Since you are looking for death, don't blame me." Philip's face was cold, and then he waved his big hand, and the army behind him continued to advance. The infantry in the army moved out of the ladder and stepped on the wall in a moment.

"Let the arrows!" Seeing that the Black Raven Army began to attack the city, Tyron ordered the archers to counterattack.

The war started again, in this desolate land.

The army of the Black Ravens had more than five times the strength of Kaiyuan City, and neither Enzo nor Tyran considered facing the enemy head-on.

Since Philip wanted to acquire Kaiyuan City, the most appropriate method was to rely on the defense of the city wall to consume the forces of the Black Raven Army.

The soldiers of the Black Rook City wanted to follow the ladder to climb the city wall, but they were strafed by the crossbowmen. The steel crossbows shot by the dozen or so heavy ballistas could not even resist the knight's body guard.

"Siege Engine, get ready!" A knight commander waved the flag in the Black Crow formation.

The already-prepared siege vehicle was pushed out. Dozens of burly soldiers pushed the siege vehicle toward the city gate together under the rain of arrows, and then pushed the round bumper, making dull noises.

"Throwing rocks!" Clarence shouted, directing the soldiers on the walls to throw rolling rocks down.

The hard and heavy rolling stone was pushed down the city wall, and several Black Raven soldiers who had been pushing against the wood were immediately killed. The Black Raven Army commander saw this and immediately sent several knights to the battle and took their place.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The wood hit the city gate with dull noises. Inside the city gate, there were countless Kaiyuan soldiers running back and forth, bringing in pieces of rocks, trees and the like, blocking the gate and blocking the siege machine. Impact.

After the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, the commander of the Black Raven Army sent more soldiers to climb the ladder. After paying the price of an unknown number of soldiers being shot through by random arrows and smashed to death by a rolling stone, a few cavalry finally stepped on the wall.

"Soldiers, kill the enemy with me!" Tyron drew out his sword and shouted.

"Furious Wind Slash!" Tai Lun looked stern, swung his sword forward and strangled several Black Crow soldiers instantly.

The Black Raven soldiers who finally boarded the city wall were beheaded by Tyron, but then, the Black Raven Army's offensive became more fierce, and many knights with vindictiveness went into the battlefield to try to take down the Kaiyuan Tower.

The war became fiercer and blood stained the city walls.

Black Raven soldiers were constantly falling down the ladder, and there were already piles of corpses under the city wall. Behind the Black Raven army, Philip stood with his hands on the carriage, looking at everything indifferently, as if his soldiers were not concerned about the casualties.

"Lord City Lord, our casualties are a bit heavy. Will the soldiers suspend the attack?"

Not far away, the commander of the Black Crow Army looked hesitant and couldn't help saying.

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

"Heavy fire oil? This..." The commander's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated. "The soldiers are attacking the city. If fire oil is used to burn the city gates at this time, I am afraid we will also lose a lot."

"Hmph, I can't capture Kaiyuan City for so long. Don't care about the life and death of a group of wastes." Philip snorted coldly and said blankly. "As long as Kaiyuan City can be taken, it doesn't matter how many soldiers are lost. Anyway, this time. After the war, everything on the ice sheet will start again."

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