Chapter 44 Offense and Defense 1

At about ten o'clock in the morning, in the open space in the fourth city of Taiwei, a group of shirtless militiamen were lined up in formation and training profusely with sweat. At the front of the formation, a group of militiamen formed a circle, and inside the circle were the same shirtless militiamen.

Ronan and several militiamen standing opposite him.

The sweat acted like olive oil, and Ronan's angular muscles were slightly reflective under the sun's rays, which further highlighted the outline of the muscles.

At this time, Ronan was holding a wooden stick in both hands, and the militiamen opposite him were holding wooden swords and shields. Ronan was testing their training results at this time. The method was a battle, with Ronan dealing with three people at the same time.

militia.

Rotating the wooden stick in his hand, Ronan took the lead in attacking, because after these few days of training, they no longer dared to attack Ronan first, because Ronan could always grasp their weaknesses keenly, and then

Knock them down hard after dodging their attacks.

Ronan charged with a stick, and the militiamen on the opposite side subconsciously raised their shields to block, but Ronan suddenly pushed the stick to the ground, jumped into the air, and kicked the shield with both feet, knocking the militiaman back and staggering him several steps before falling.

On the ground.

The other two militiamen saw this and wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ronan, but Ronan was already prepared. After landing, he squatted down, held the end of the wooden stick with both hands and swept it to the ground, tripping one person down, and then turned around to block the wooden stick.

Sword, use skillful force to lift the wooden sword directly out of your hand.

At this time, the soldier who fell down at the beginning had already struggled to his feet. At this time, he raised his shield and charged towards Ronan. Ronan shook his head slightly, turned around to avoid the collision, and at the same time hit him directly with the wooden stick.

Knock him on the butt and give him a dog bite.

The other two militiamen were killed in the same manner. Ronan shook his head and waved to the other militiamen surrounding him to replace them.

These few are stronger than the previous ones. At least they know that they rely on each other to protect each other. After supporting each other for a while, Ronan seized the opportunity to get closer to the formation. Once the formation is messed up, they will not be able to do anything.

, the ability to adapt to changes is still not enough.

After sparring with several groups of soldiers, it was time for lunch. Ronan took the towel handed by the attendant and wiped his sweat. Then he sat directly on the floor and took the bread and broth to eat. The dried meat in the soup was stewed.

It has become a little softer, at least it can't chip out people's teeth. Some of the sharp dried meat Ronan even thinks it can stab people to death.

After a simple lunch, Ronan felt a little sleepy. After ordering the Nord guards and Vaegian knights to take over his work and sparring with the militiamen, Ronan returned to the house to take a nap.

Not long after sleeping, Ronan was awakened by a horn. There was a loud sound of footsteps in the castle. He didn't have time to put on the troublesome plate armor. After Ronan quickly put on the light armor, he picked up the sword and sword and pushed the door open and left.

He went out, but Ronan still put on iron gloves for himself.

Groups of soldiers in the castle were running quickly towards the city wall, and Ronan followed closely and ran towards the city wall he was responsible for. At this time, there were already sounds of stones shot by trebuchets hitting the city wall and injured soldiers outside.

The screams they made.

When Ronan climbed onto the city wall, the Volantis soldiers had already rushed through the rain of arrows and started to build the ladder. The huge siege ladder in the Volantis position in the distance was also slowly approaching the city wall driven by the soldiers.

These siege ladders are made entirely of solid wood and are taller than the city walls of Typus. They are long rectangular in shape and have four thick wheels underground that need to be pushed by soldiers. The siege ladders are hollow inside and are the same size as the city walls.

There is a platform at the top, which is already full of soldiers. There are steps behind it, and the soldiers can quickly climb the steps to the platform of the siege ladder.

In front of the platform is a wide wooden bridge, which is being retracted and standing upright in front. When it is close to the city wall, it will be lowered and placed on the battlements for soldiers to climb the city. What is better about it than the ladder is that

He can carry a large number of soldiers at one time, and the soldiers can board the city faster and can more easily occupy positions on the city wall.

Moreover, the soldiers were not easily blocked by bows, arrows and stones, and the front of the siege ladder was painted with arson paint. Rexxar's plan to ignite the target with oil and rockets went bankrupt.

At this time, the catapult that Lexa asked the craftsmen to build in advance came into use. The catapult was pushed to the appropriate position, the stones were installed, and the calibration position was constantly adjusted under the command of the commander, and then they opened fire and threw the boulders.

.

The huge boulder hit the siege ladder and directly cut out big holes. As sawdust flew across the siege ladder, the pillars of the siege ladder were immediately penetrated and disintegrated. The soldiers on top screamed and fell, and most of those who were lucky enough to survive were killed.

High paraplegia. Dan Volantis

They never bothered to deal with wounded soldiers. These slave soldiers could be treated for minor injuries, but they had to support themselves for serious injuries. Volantis would not even care about such disabled people, and would not even give them food.

Because they think it's a waste.

Although most of the siege ladders were destroyed, there were still two stubborn ones who persisted to the edge of the city wall. The drawbridge was lowered and set up on the battlements. The soldiers inside roared and rushed out.

Ronan picked up his bow and arrow and shot continuously, hitting several soldiers with headshots from the side. A slave soldier jumped up high when he was approaching the city wall, fell behind the defending soldier and stabbed him in the back with his sword.

The defender struggled to turn around and fight back, but then his throat was slashed.

Another militiaman raised the spear in his hand and stabbed a slave soldier in the chest, and then knocked him to the ground with force, but he obviously forgot what Lexa taught them, not to attack blindly, but to calmly observe the surroundings.

Depending on the situation and the enemy's movements, use a shield to protect yourself.

Pulling out his spear, he wanted to replenish it, but was immediately shot in the head by the enemy soldiers who rushed up. Ronan noticed that he was one of the militiamen he had sparred with in the morning. Unexpectedly, in the morning

A young man who was still alive lost his head in the afternoon, but war is so cruel, everyone may die in the next second.

Shaking his head, Ronan dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out his two-handed sword and rushed over with his men. The training time of these militiamen was still short. With their anger towards the invaders, they were more than brave but insufficient in defense.

, they were the ones suffering the most casualties, but the number of enemy troops far exceeded that of the Thai Guards IV defenders, and they could not afford to replace them even if they were to exchange one for two.

Ronan slashed hard, and the enemy reacted quickly and raised his round shield to block, but was knocked down by Ronan's huge strength. The round shield in his hand was also cut with a deep scar, and Ronan swung it again.

The big sword slashed hard, and this time his shield was cut in half by Ronan, and his left hand holding the shield was also cut in half by Ronan.
