    ?

    The Violent Bear Legion, which escaped the attack of the stone machine and the continuous attack, gathered here one after another, accumulating for the next attack.

    　　Hao Bo coldly shouted: "Archers, get ready!" The archers of the left army of Shenwu Legion Qi Qili set their arrows on the string, ready to go.

    　　The Violent Bear Legion set up an attacking formation in the shape of a regular triangle. Under the order of the legion commander, they raised their shields to cover their heads, and rushed towards the moat under the west gate.

    　　 Seeing the bear army enter the range, Hao Bo gave an order: "Shoot!" Tens of thousands of archers released their arrows together, and for a while the dense rain of flying arrows fell all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun.  The sharp arrow of the triangular arrow landed on the shield that the Violent Bear Legion held up high, making a "clank".  submerged.

    　　With shields for protection, although the Violent Bear Legion suffered casualties, they did not suffer any serious injuries.  The soldiers who rushed to the moat put the ladders across the river one after another, like a group of ants gathering bear soldiers, stepped on the ladders, crossed the moat, and arrived at the city wall.  The soldiers who arrived at the city wall pulled out the ladders on the moat, erected them on the city wall, and then climbed up one after another.

    　　 Seeing that the damage caused by the archers was minimal, Hao Bo said in a deep voice: "The archers retreat, the city defense troops go up, Mumu and Rolling Stone, get ready!"

    　　Countless ladders were erected on the city wall, and the violent bear warrior with rich siege experience and quick movements had already climbed half of the ladders.

    　　 Haobo sent an order: "檑木, Rolling Stone, hit!"

    　　Heavy lumber and huge boulders were thrown down from the top of the city one after another. The bear soldiers who bore the brunt suffered numerous casualties and were invincible.  In particular, the thick and round wood rolled down from the ladder, and almost a single piece of it would fly away to a string of bear soldiers on the ladder.  The boulders dropped from the tens of meters high city and the solid ladders were easily broken and fell to the ground. Dozens of soldiers in heavy armor and strong shields immediately turned into meat paste.

    　　The Violent Bear Legion was not powerless to fight back. On the bank of the moat, several soldiers guarded an archer with vertical shields, shooting arcs at the city.  The siege vehicle also slowly arrived at the river bank. On the siege vehicle, which was still a lot higher than the city wall, there were full of archers from the Mowu army, condescending, shooting at the guards at the top of the city from a short distance across the moat.  military.

    　　 These archers of the Violent Bear Legion caused a lot of trouble to the defenders of the left army, and had to allocate energy and manpower to deal with it.

    　　 Both sides fought with all their strength, one side wanted to attack the city wall, and the other side fought back with all its might.  The situation was stalemate for a while, and finally turned into a cruel and tragic war of attrition.

    　　Haobo watched the situation of both sides calmly, and quickly analyzed the comparison of casualties between the two sides, the amount of reserve forces, and the amount of physical exertion in his mind, while issuing brief and unquestionable orders to adjust the various arms of the defenders in each section of the city wall  advance or retreat, attack or defend, make full use of the function of each soldier, save the physical strength of each soldier, and give full play to the role of each soldier In short, keep the entire city wall intact and block all the powerful soldiers.  The attack of the Violent Bear Legion.

    　　The violent bear soldiers under the city walls and on the ladders were covered with the blood of themselves, their companions, or their enemies, and countless pieces of meat from their companions or enemies were attached to their bodies.  With a ferocious expression, he climbed up the city wall almost crazily.  An injured companion blocked the way, and immediately pushed down the ladder to clear his way forward. It was his next turn to be hit by a sharp arrow, and the subsequent companions did the same without hesitation.

    　　The mighty Violent Bear Legion, which is almost "defying death", under the full-strength counterattack of the elite left army, after paying a "heavy" price, finally a group of soldiers tore apart the tight and seamless city defense.  A gap.  The violent bear soldiers rushed forward one after another, attacking with all their strength, forming a wedge shape to widen the precious gap as much as possible.

    　　Ling Lan, who had been quietly standing beside Haobo as a guard, said anxiously when she saw this, "I'll go, or let Baihu go."

    　　 Haobo glanced at the white tiger who was running around, commanding the defense while boosting morale, shook his head resolutely, and said coldly: "Tomahawk team, go!"

    　　The tall and mighty "Tomahawk Squad", which has always been on standby as a reserve team with 30 members in each team, rushed towards the gap with two giant axes in their hands and all their heavy equipment.  After a fierce hand-to-hand fight, paying the price of a dozen giant axemen, a small group of bear soldiers who attacked the city were all killed and thrown down the city.

    　　The commander of the Stormtrooper Army behind the formation, Yu Yu, who commanded the siege, saw that the Stormtroopers had not made a breakthrough for a long time, and the situation was stalemate for a while, while the two division commanders who personally participated in the siege ahead had already died.  With red eyes, he looked at his deputy, Jieli, the deputy head of the Violent Bear Legion.

    　　He is as tall as a hill and dressed in a suit.?The main force of the Mowu Army in front of Xiling City, the three forces formed a triangle shape, and they were in a state of restraint and encirclement against the Xiling City in the middle,—— so Xiling City can still hold it?  Only by voluntarily giving up and retreating without a fight, and withdrawing to Tianque City, can there be a way out.  "

    　　Linglan, who was dumbfounded, frowned and said: "But, for the sake of the two small towns, it is too exaggerated to go to such lengths?  The overall situation is a threat, and then mobilize all the main forces to attack Xiling City, isn't it the same? After all, if we can break through Xiling City, it will undoubtedly severely damage the Shenwu Army."

    　　Hao Po shook his head and laughed dumbly: "Do you think His Highness Ji Jing of the Mowu Continent is as stupid as you are without regrets? The fatal weakness of the Mowu Army's cross-border operations is the difficulty in the turnover of food and grass, so it is required to fight  The army must make a quick decision to break through Xiling City and enter the territory of the Shengyuan Empire to obtain food and supplies. However, with the strength of Xiling City and the elite defenders of the Shenwu Army, you think that the Mowu army will attack in an all-round way and break through before the food and grass are exhausted.  The grasp of Xiling City? Even if the Mowu army can break through Xiling City, under the solid city wall and under the full counterattack of the elite defenders, the Mowu army will suffer extremely heavy losses.  Lingcheng is much stronger than Tianque City, what do you let the Mowu Army use to attack? If you can't break through Tianque City, all the efforts you have made before are undoubtedly useless. The 190th of Mowu Continent  The second invasion of the Shengyuan Empire also ended in failure. To attack the two towns with small walls and low walls, firstly, it would not take time and troops, and secondly, to break through the two towns forced our army to abandon the city and retreat.  Wouldn't it be better to attack with cavalry?"

    　　Under Haobo's patient and meticulous explanation, Ling Lan finally understood vaguely. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she lost her voice: "Aren't these two towns in danger?"

    　　The white tiger on the side rolled his eyes: "When you think about it, the two towns are already over! Senior brother divided the eight thousand Holy Sword Knights and the former army of the Shenwu Legion into two, led by Suzaku and Xuanwu respectively, and Farui  The two commanders, An and Lei Ya, assisted respectively, and they have already been stationed in the two towns."

    　　Ling Lan let out a long breath, and said strangely: "Since this is the case, what is there to worry about? What are you two doing with a sad face?"

    　　Bai Hu glanced at Hao Bo with a wry smile, and said: "You think the two armies of the Red Rhinoceros and the Vultures in the Mowu Kingdom are easy to defeat? Besides, the small walls of the two small towns are so small that they cannot be defended at all. Suzaku and Xuanwu  There will be a lot of pressure. Senior brother is just worried about them."

    　　Hao Bo murmured: "This time, the outcome is unpredictable, and the future is unknown. It is time to really test Suzaku and Xuanwu! But the real excitement of this battle between the two countries must be the mere two  The offensive and defensive battle of the town!" (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
