Holy Sword Dynasty

Chapter 101 Battle of Thor Fortress (Competition)

The siege ladder began to stand high under the city, and countless archers on both sides poured locust-like arrows on each other under the cover of the shield soldiers. The shield soldier raised the huge shield in his hand and attacked the raindrop-like bow and arrows flying, screaming. Every time the bow and arrow attacked each other, both sides had to pay countless lives. The huge fireball and wind blade formed by the magician in the city are blocked by the magic scroll and the magic shield sung by the magician. The dull loud sound of the siege hammer hitting the gate made everyone scared. The boulders, iron blocks and even weapons poured down the city wall made the soldiers near the city pay a heavy price. The long gun fired by the crossbow cannon in the distance penetrated several people on the tower and nailed the ground.

Countless soldiers pushed the tall siege building car and slowly approached the high wall of the Thor Fortress. From time to time, the building car was hit by the crossbow gunfire fired from the wall, and the crossbow arrows running through the wooden building car fell down the building with more than a dozen soldiers and hit the ground. The huge siege ladder that had been built on the wall was full of brave soldiers who were not afraid of death. When they jumped on the wall, they found that they were greeted by long guns as dense as the woods. This was simply a huge trap that devoured life. The soldiers who attacked the tower quickly turned into a corpse and were pushed down from the high wall.

In the distance of the city wall, behind the phalanx composed of countless soldiers, a group of tough soldiers with upper bodies cut off the ropes that bound the trebuchet's arms and cut through the sharp roar of the air with the wind. Stones were thrown into the wall and the wall one by one. These huge machines temporarily looking for ammunition were not accurate. Some will even affect their own soldiers, but they have unparalleled destructive power.

The soldiers have been numb, and the soldiers defending the city and the soldiers attacking the city are no longer roaring with excess hormones. The soldiers under the wall attacked desperately without making a sound; the soldiers on the wall fought back desperately without making a sound. They no longer cry for the flesh and blood of their companions, and no longer scream for the fragmentation of their comrades-in-arms. They ignore death, pain, sadness, and hell on earth, and then die in the next second, disappearing in the vast sea of blood and solidify into a part of the earth.

Under the wall, the officers of the Rosefinch Army shouted loudly, making the soldiers desperately maintain their formation. The soldiers huddled together could only listen to the crisp sound of the metal impact, looked at the spine of their teammates from the narrow cracks, and moved forward slowly. They didn't know what was happening around them at all, until their teammates in front or on both sides were hit by unknown weapons until they were hit by unknown weapons. The device fell down.

The ground is covered with blood, and there are no traces of snow and soil. Only red, like a carpet, makes people dare not look down. The warm face that had just been gasping for breath and died in a blink of an eye spitting hot blood. The soldier who was hit by the stone watched his blood splash on his unknown comrades-in-arms around him, stuffed the gastrointestinal tract back into his belly, and struggled to shout at the doctor or friends. There are almost no wounded here. When the moment of pain comes from the body, it is either dead or tragically about to die. Behind you, there are countless soldiers who don't know why they fought forward and push these half-dead comrades to hell.

The sound of war drums echoed in the distance, and the distinctive phoenix military flag stood still standing. The command of the rosefinch army still had no intention of retreating. More and larger phalanxes raised their own military flags, accompanied by the drums that the troops beat themselves, and drove neatly to the endless land. In prison, they were ambitious and brave, but they could never cross the wall dozens of meters high.

Over the Thor Fortress, the huge Holy Empire King's Flag is still flying. Although a small stone thrown by the stone thrown by the stoner on it has drawn a distinct hole, it still can't change the fact that the Holy Empire still occupies the Thor Fortress. Safe defense, poisonous traps and counterattacks make the Suzaku Imperial Army After fighting hard for 2 days, the team was still unable to attack the Cree Fortress, thanks to the heroic struggle of all the soldiers of the Holy Empire and also showed the excellence of the commander of the Thor Fortress. Brown, the commander of Thor Fortress, is a veteran of the Holy Empire. He seems to lack the means to attack and fight and is not famous in the intelligence department of the Eternal Night Empire. However, he has won the trust of Archbishop Leon Barton and is famous for his steady defense and sharp counterattack. He is a wise general with hidden needles.

The Thor Fortress is like a huge flesh and blood mill at this moment, devouring the lives and bodies of the soldiers on both sides.

In just two days of offensive and defensive battles, the Holy Empire paid the lives of 30,000 soldiers, and the reserves of 130,000 bows and arrows were consumed. 60% of the magic arrays on the top of the city were destroyed and consumed. A gate had been smashed by the siege hammer. Relying on the desperate counterattack of the cavalry in the city, it was able to block the broken city with boulders. For this, the cavalry army that rushed out of the gate to cover and repair the gate cost more than 15,000 people in battle, and the whole army was destroyed at a heavy price. What's more critical is that the main legion of the Holy Empire, which is expected to come to reinforce, has so far disappeared, which makes the soldiers of the Holy Empire defending the city full of pessimism.

Also in the two-day attack on Thor Fortress, the White Tiger Army lost more than 20,000, and the Rosefinch Army, as the main force of the attack, lost more than 50,000. 33 officers were killed and beheaded. Nearly 860,000 troops had been sharply reduced to more than 800,000 before they entered the Thor Fortress. The carefully prepared siege weapons have been consumed by more than 50%, and the magic scrolls and the magician's attack ability have been sharply reduced by 70%. What's more, the soldiers' fighting spirit has been exhausted, and the whole rosefinch army is less and less hopeful about this attack on Thor Fortress.

The fierce attack on this day lasted until dinner until an officer with a face wrapped in gauze was carried into the central army tent of Xia Changkong and cried and begged his officer to spare his life. Xia Changkong finally decided to temporarily stop the attack on this day. The eldest prince Ye Shengwu also agreed to suspend the attack, and he also wanted to find If there is a good way to capture the Thor Fortress, or take a piece of scorched earth, how can they use this scorched earth to defend against the subsequent Holy Empire?

At this moment, he is more inclined to withdraw the White Tiger Army and the Rosefinch Army and establish a solid defense line in the upper reaches of the Midok River to defeat the reinforcements of the Holy Empire first. Because there is news that the main force of the Holy Empire has accelerated the march, and the leading troops have entered the neighboring province of Thor Fortress. In two days at most, he and Xia Changkong are facing the disadvantage of being attacked inside and outside.

However, Xia Changkong believes more that his army can take down the Thor Fortress tomorrow or the day after tomorrow morning and complete the strategic goals set before the war. He wants to put the whole army into the general attack tomorrow and fight to the death with the defenders of the Holy Empire in the city.
