The infantry of the Imperial Legion are very familiar with each other and trust each other very much. This three-and-three formation means that they will never turn their backs to the enemy and will not be attacked by enemy troops from the rear.
As the attacker, Ronan led his troops to penetrate deeply into the enemy's defensive position. Slowly, after breaking through the narrow street, a clear view suddenly opened up. This should be a business district, a street.
There were countless alleys, and the enemy troops retreated back. In order to avoid ambushes in the surrounding alleys, Ronan stood at the intersection and made a few gestures to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers behind them suddenly became cautious, and the formation quickly closed up, forming a circular iron barrel formation with two levels in total. The first row bent down and raised their shields, responsible for resisting attacks from the front, while the row in the inner circle tilted upwards.
He raised his shield to avoid the archers arranged by the enemy in the surrounding small buildings. Ronan walked in front fearlessly relying on his thick armor.
"clang!"
A crossbow arrow shot from a hidden corner hit Ronan's helmet, and then bounced away directly. This crossbow arrow seemed to be a signal. On both sides of the alley in front, the surrounding small buildings and rooftops suddenly
A large number of archers appeared, with their long bows fully drawn, and arrows suddenly rained down on Ronan.
"defense!"
Ronan roared, then covered his eyes with his arms, lowered his head and squatted down. The soldiers behind him immediately squatted down on the spot. The shields were placed tightly with no blind spots. The arrows jingled at Ronan's armor and the soldiers behind him.
on top of the shield.
However, the arrows hitting Ronan's body did not break through the defense at all, and the soldiers behind him were also well protected. Almost no arrows could pass through the shields and enter the formation, let alone hurt anyone.
A few minutes later, Ronan felt that the feeling of stones hitting his body during a sandstorm was gone, and he knew it was over. Sure enough, as soon as the arrow was straightened, there was a roar from the front, and groups of soldiers rushed forward.
Came over.
"Fight back!"
Ronan stood up, tore off the tattered cloak that was hit by arrows on his back, then shouted loudly, raised his sword and launched a counterattack.
"call!"
The legionary infantry immediately stood up, swiped their daggers on the shields, and cut off all the arrows, leaving only the arrowhead part embedded in the shield. They also shouted to change formations and rushed forward following Ronan.
The attacks from other directions were similar. Trezeguet's troops had a relatively small shield ratio. Therefore, although they retreated immediately and escaped from the arrow rain, they still suffered some casualties. Then Trezeguet chose
Some, like Sergeant Swadia,
The warriors with shields and good armor launched a charge, covering the archers to kill the enemy's archer troops. Fortunately, before Ronan attacked the city, he borrowed a group of archers from Jackson to supplement his shortcomings, and also from
Magnar lent him some shield-bearing infantry.
Magna's side was much simpler. Oshid was not afraid of those arrows at all. After blocking his arms in front of him to prevent the arrows from hurting his eyes, he directly transformed and rushed out. He attacked the two-meter-high houses.
He can jump up in one go, and even small buildings can't stop him. He can even climb city walls, let alone small buildings that are not very high.
Pursued by Oshid and his tribe, the archers fled before they could even shoot a few arrows. To make matters worse, the inner city gate of Sitges suddenly opened.
Seth rushed out with his troops and fought with the enemy troops outside the city, making Mulak even more stressed.
"Sir, we must find a way to break out! If this continues, we won't be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive!"
A warrior from the Canglang tribe next to Mulak said that he was Mulak's adjutant and his nephew. Mulak glanced at his nephew and then said:
"Gather the soldiers, let's break out from the north gate!"
After saying that, Mulak put on his helmet and rode on the horse that the attendants had moved. Near him, his guards immediately got on their horses and took out their long bows.
The troops that faced Ronan were killed again and returned in defeat. They once again retreated to the next block under the cover of bows and arrows, but that was also the last block. Wherever they passed, they would hit the wall of the inner city.
Ronan led the soldiers and continued to pursue after the rain of arrows, but the soldiers did not stop them again. Just when Ronan thought they had collapsed and given up, Yesefa fell from the sky and landed next to him.
"Your Majesty! They are about to break out. They left part of the army to resist General Meluses' troops who were fighting out of the city, and then gathered the remaining troops to break out from the north!"
"The north side is Tiberius' side. He really knew how to guess and found the weakest place to break through. You and Kemilla go to support them quickly and don't let them escape. The rest of the people, come with me from here.
Help Tiberius!"
Ronan said, and then he also spoke to Trezeguet and Magna in other directions in the system, asking them to also divert to Tiberius through the alley for support. But Tiberius could not be contacted through the system.
, Ronan only hoped that Yesefa could fly fast enough.
But when Ronan arrived, Mulak still rushed out with some soldiers. The cavalry and orc warriors opened the way. Although Tiberius barely resisted, many people were still torn through the defense line and ran out. Although
Most of them are cavalry and orcs with good endurance.
Ronan took a look at the messy scene and the corpses scattered around, and said to Magna who had just arrived:
"Let the cavalry pursue!"
Magnar immediately called the Noldor knight and asked him to lead the faster-moving Kugit cavalry to chase him out. Ronan also sent Eranikus to go with him.
"Magna, take the people to tidy up the city, bury the corpses of friendly troops outside the city, and burn the rest of the corpses directly after searching for useful materials. Don't cause any plague!
Where can the rest of the people go with me to the inner city!"
Near the inner city, there are still some enemy troops who were left behind and are struggling to resist. The battle situation has been dispersed and they are all scattered into the alleys. The enemy troops hope to be chased and then hide or escape from the city.
But Ronan obviously didn't want them to get what they wanted, so he sent all the remaining troops out and searched alleys. Ronan didn't want to let any of them escape.
"Sir, the statistics are over. Our army has killed 734 people and injured 891 people. The dead soldiers have been buried. Most of the injured soldiers have minor bruises and will not affect subsequent operations. We have collected a total of 3,463 enemy corpses and captured 1,456 people.
, there should be less than a thousand soldiers left to resist inside the city, the enemy general Mulak escaped, along with hundreds of cavalry and some orc warriors."
