Suffering heavy casualties and listening to the painful screams of their comrades around them, the Chloe Army's offensive team was still moving forward resolutely.
Queen Your Majesty fulfilled her reward promise, which changed the fate of many people and realized the transformation from unknown people to famous nobles.
The merits and rewards of being the first to climb are the greatest. No one will doubt the generous rewards promised to the first. It is for this reason that Chloe's army can withstand greater casualties and maintain high morale.
What soldiers want is very simple, no, what people want is very simple, if you pay hard, you will be rewarded. Soldiers will die with the generals, and employees will advance and retreat with the company.
Seeing that the enemy troops were lagging behind the siege and unable to fire effectively, the commander of the bastion ordered, "Order the magic crystal artillery unit to shell the area from a3 to c9 and advance the barrage."
The magic crystal artillery unit that had been waiting at the designated position immediately took action. They were well-trained and fired at the artillery scale as usual.
The destructive artillery fire instantly poured down on the heads of the siege troops. The death storm set off by the explosion took away the lives of a large number of soldiers. Xu Jin's barrage bombardment method made the shells harvest more lives like plowing fields.
The Psionics barrier held up by the mage can block at most one cannonball before it is shattered. Nothing can block the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon.
In order to reduce casualties, the siege army's formation was not very dense, but the position chosen by the bastion commander was very tricky. This round of shelling caused at least a thousand casualties.
After witnessing this bloody scene, some people collapsed and began to flee backwards. The supervising team killed several deserters and then forced them forward.
Ymir was fully armed, holding a bloody sword in his hand and standing in front of the supervising team, roaring at the castle.
A well-equipped high-level Knight rushed away the deserters under his command and led them to continue charging forward. This was a sharp knife force prepared to break the breakthrough, and it had to be used here in order to stabilize the situation.
When the 10,000 siege troops arrived at the bastion, the casualties had already reached nearly 3,000. In this era, siege has always been difficult, and being injured on the battlefield may mean death.
Chloe is already trying its best to use the magic crystal cannon to support the siege army. The shooting troops on the city wall also suffered a lot of casualties, but she cannot threaten the magic crystal cannon in the bastion. Those cannons are hidden in the strong fortifications of the fortress.
The siege troops who came under the city wall did not become safer. The cold guns and cold arrows behind the battlements never stopped. Some special ladders were set up, and there was a lock on the top of the ladder to hold the city wall.
The heavily protected mage took off his High-energy Crystal and used Psionics to throw it up to the top of the city, then detonated it to clear a safe area. The soldiers saw the opportunity and quickly climbed up the city top along the ladder.
There were also some strong men carrying special tools who found relatively safe positions and smashed the city walls with sledgehammers and shovels in preparation for burying the explosive High-energy Crystal.
The defenders on the city wall were not to be outdone. In a short period of time, they cut down the hard ladders and stabbed the soldiers who were climbing the ladders with their spears. Rolling stones, hot oil, and High-energy Crystal, which caused the explosion, were all thrown under the city wall.
Even if some brave soldiers climbed up the city wall, they would be outnumbered and besieged to death. The battle lasted for a long time, and the Chloe army was still unable to obtain a stable city head position.
The siege side suffered much greater casualty pressure than the defenders.
Ymir and Jonathan, who were commanding the front line, were very anxious. The mage's Clairvoyance allowed them to clearly understand the situation. Almost half of the 10,000 troops invested were casualties, and the siege troops could no longer withstand it.
Soon their morale will collapse, they will be driven off the city wall by the defenders, and they will flee back crying and crying with frightened expressions.
At that time, there is no use in supervising the battle team, and the soldiers who flee will raise their weapons at the officers.
Chloe in the king's tent sighed, she had to take action, otherwise she would be lucky if only one or two thousand of the 10,000 siege troops could escape.
The second round of attacks was even more impossible. The soldiers were watching. The broken corpses, artillery fire, and the blood smeared on the city walls would make their morale drop to the bottom.
Six giant flying insects rose into the sky and flew towards the city.
This behemoth was destined to be the center of attention as soon as it appeared on the battlefield. The morale of the Chloe troops on the siege was greatly shaken, and some even cheered.
The defenders had serious faces and were full of astonishment. They had never seen this kind of monster and they didn't know how to fight against it.
The flying insects that could fly at the speed of sound landed on the city wall without much effort. While they were protecting the human soldiers behind them, they were harvesting lives with their huge bone blades.
The shielded area at the top of the city is small, and basically one cut of the bone blade can cut several defenders in two.
Chloe Don't dare to use flying locusts hatched by siege beasts. They are too stupid and basically have no IQ. If you let them go up, they will drop steel needles on friendly and enemy troops equally.
During the time of Ni Hong Kong, they accidentally injured many civilians.
The siege army gained a foothold on the city's head. They eliminated the defenders and the area under their control gradually became larger.
The defenders were still very brave. They used spears to attack the flying insects and used magic crystal guns and crossbows to shoot at the flying insects, but this had no effect.
In order for the flying insects to carry the siege beasts in flight, the muscle tissue and shell of the flying insects are very strong, which is more than enough to withstand this level of attack.
After seeing the counterattack force he organized being defeated by giant flying monsters, a sense of powerlessness arose in the heart of the bastion commander.
The team he sent up just now included elite Psionics mages and high-level Knight. These troops did fight the giant monster for a while.
But it still couldn't break through the defense. Psionics could only leave some deep marks on the strong carapace, nothing more.
He also tried bombarding it with a magic crystal cannon, but it failed to hit at all. The wings on the monster's body were extremely flexible.
The situation of defending the city was excellent, but it deteriorated as soon as the Swarm monsters entered the battlefield. Their combat power was too overwhelming for ordinary humans.
The second batch of 10,000 siege troops has also been sent up. They will follow the foothold opened by the former army, continue to penetrate deep into the fortress, and expand the occupied area.
Gritting his teeth, the commander of the fortress made a decision. He sent human soldiers to fight against the huge Swarm monsters. He was just risking death. There was no point in continuing to defend the city wall.
But the battle is not over yet, he still has a large number of magic crystal weapons and fresh troops in his hands.
He also set up many fortifications and traps inside the bastion. He could still command the army to fight and inflict heavy damage to the enemy.
Soon, under his order, the defenders abandoned the city wall and entered the more complex fortifications inside the bastion.
They have not collapsed, nor have they surrendered, they will continue to fight.
