Moreover, this kind of ladder is difficult to destroy by rolling rocks and thunderwood. As long as it exists, it can provide a relatively safe way for the troops below to climb the city.
How terrifying it would be to have a relatively safe and easy-to-climb ladder.
The military minister ordered in a deep voice: "Crossbowmen, attack the ladders with fire, and the artillerymen are ready to aim their artillery at those ladders!"
"yes!"
French crossbowmen tied cotton and linen cloth stained with hot oil to the arrows, lit them, and fired them all.
Suddenly, a sea of fire fell from the sky.
Countless Nashadir troops and moving ladders were engulfed in flames and stained with sparks, but they did not burn quickly.
Soon the ladder rushed out of the sea of fire.
But countless soldiers of Nashadir died in the sea of fire.
When Nashadir saw this scene, his face moved slightly, but he said nothing.
He aimed his gaze at the base of the city wall again, as if to determine something.
With a nervous look on his face, when he saw the dust and smoke rising under the walls of Port France, his hanging heart relaxed for a moment.
His ultimate goal was never to attack the city with ladders.
Although it is feasible to use a ladder to break a city, modern times are not ancient times. After the industrial revolution, the ladder that was once difficult to destroy is no longer a weapon for siege.
Destroying ladders is now too easy.
Nashadir heard a roar!
The French artillery fired a cannonball the size of a bowl, which hit the ladder that emerged from the sea of fire.
Bang!
The ladder, which had received a solid hit from the shell, suddenly collapsed!
The seemingly powerful and indestructible ladder was completely destroyed by the enemy with just one cannonball.
Seeing this scene, Nashadir sighed. The ancient siege weapons have now been eliminated batch after batch due to technological changes.
However, these ladders have completed their task of attracting the opponent's firepower.
The ladder was destroyed, and there was no joy on the face of the military minister.
When the crossbowmen and artillery attacked the ladder just now, many Nashadir troops rushed into the city wall, and their sword and shield soldiers created a considerable obstacle for themselves.
Although these soldiers have been eliminated.
But it made the already small number of troops even worse.
At this moment, the military minister felt a slight vibration coming from under the wall and frowned slightly.
Looking down at the city gate, at the city gate, Nashadir's troops were currently embracing a bumper, with half of its tail exposed.
It's a crazy collision at the moment.
But the city gates of Port-France remained motionless.
Hard to be broken.
When the military minister saw this scene, he smiled coldly. They had taken these issues into consideration when building this city wall.
The city wall must be extremely strong, but there are also weak points, such as the city gates.
What was originally used was a gate, and the entire up and down movement was made of steel weighing three thousand kilograms.
To open the door once, it takes ten strong men to pull the iron chain as thick as a bowl, lift the door, and fasten it to the fixed bolt.
Nashadir's troops tried to use ramming wood to break open the gate, which was simply ridiculous.
At this time, the artillerymen on the city wall aimed their guns at the city gate, but the military minister said coldly.
"Don't worry about the troops attacking Na Shadir, it will never be breached."
"Focus on attacking the ladders and soldiers climbing the city walls."
"Use the horse's face to surround them from three sides!"
