Chapter 56: City Defense

When it was still dark the next day, the originally peaceful enemy camp suddenly became noisy. The soldiers of the mountain tribe were fully dressed, picked up their battle axes and bucklers, and were ready.

The Terran soldiers on duty in the watchtower on the city wall quickly blew their horns after noticing the enemy's movements. Upon hearing the horns, Ronan and others quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, walked up to the city wall, and stood in their defensive positions.

.

Ronan and his men are responsible for guarding the left side of the watchtower with the city gate mechanism, and the elves under Dario and Inela are responsible for guarding the right side of the watchtower.

The enemy army began to move. The Gaoshan clan did not bring any craftsmen this time and could not build a siege ladder. Only half of the soldiers were dispatched, and the other half were still on Taiwei to participate in the siege. Therefore, they could only carry the ladder against the defenders.

Charge of arrows.

Ronan picked up the longbow and stood by the crenel, nocked an arrow, then fully loaded the longbow, and accurately shot it on the helmet of a mountain man. The extremely penetrating arrow pierced the helmet, and then passed out from behind.

A mountain man suddenly fell to the ground.

The bows and arrows were fired continuously, and Ronan was able to kill one enemy soldier with each arrow, but compared to the number of enemy troops, it was still a drop in the bucket. The Gaoshan people quickly set up the ladder on the city wall and began to climb up with a round shield.

Ronan shot a few arrows downwards, but there was no angle and they were all blocked by the shield. The arrows were nailed to the shield and failed to cause any damage to the enemy.

The Terran soldiers used their spears to poke down the enemy soldiers who were about to climb up the city wall one by one, but a few soldiers accurately blocked the attack with their shields and successfully climbed up the city wall. Once they climbed up the city wall, the situation opened up.

The defenders no longer had the energy to prevent the remaining enemy troops from climbing up the city wall.

Fierce hand-to-hand combat began immediately. These Terran soldiers were indeed elite. They had rich combat experience. The city wall was only two meters wide, and the space for movement was very limited. When they saw that they could not stop the enemy from entering the city, they directly formed a group of two, with one on the left.

The one on the right stands on both sides of the ladder.

As soon as the enemy comes up, they will be attacked from two sides, and when they want to counterattack, they will encounter two erected shields. Only one person can go up the ladder at a time. They will be attacked from two sides when they get up, and there is basically no chance to support them.

Climb up to the next person.

An enemy soldier had just climbed up the city wall, raised his head and was about to raise his weapon when Ronan took the opportunity and hit him hard on the head with the hilt of his sword. Then he pushed him down while he was dizzy.

An unlucky guy who was just about to climb up was also knocked down directly.

But there are always surprises. A soldier who was stronger than other mountain men successfully blocked the defenders' attack from the left and right after climbing the city wall. He only suffered a slight injury to his arm and successfully persisted until another mountain man climbed up.

Go up the city wall.

The gap was opened, and the city wall suddenly became chaotic. Under their influence, enemy troops from other places also climbed onto the city wall one after another. The defenders could no longer continue to implement their defensive strategies, and the next battle was pure strength.

The few enemy soldiers who climbed up later took a quick look around, and then headed straight towards Ronan. It seemed that they also knew that the key was the watchtower behind Ronan.

Letting his subordinates continue to defend the ladder entrance, Ronan drew out his two-handed sword and faced it. Due to the width of the city wall, these enemy troops could only fight Ronan one by one. The reason why Dario was confident that these people could defend ten times the number.

There are also reasons for the enemy's attack. Under such circumstances, the enemy's numerical advantage has been effectively weakened.

He held the battle ax that was coming towards his head, and then pushed the opponent away with a strong push. Ronan took advantage of his unsteady stance and swung his sword to strike, but the opponent hurriedly blocked it with a shield, but under the force

The already unstable figure even tilted and hit the city wall directly.

Ronan frowned. These barbarians all wore shields, and it was quite troublesome to deal with them. Ronan grabbed the opponent and pushed him hard, knocking him against the city wall again, and then took advantage of him when he was a little confused.

Holding his shield with one hand and the sword blade with the other, he stabbed the sharp guard directly into his neck.

Ronan let go of the limp and drooping body, and took the shield and battle ax from his hands. Ronan swung the battle ax and struck it hard on the shield raised by another soldier. The ax blade was deeply embedded in the wooden

In the shield, Ronan kicked on the shield and used his strength to pull out the battle ax.

After pulling out the tomahawk, Ronan swung the tomahawk again and slashed hard. The enemy had no time to counterattack due to Ronan's compact attack, and could only raise his shield again to block the attack.

But this time Ronan slammed the ax on the shield, and the wooden shield was overwhelmed and broke into pieces. Then Ronan swung the shield with his left hand and hit him with the edge in the horrified eyes of the enemy.

The side of the helmet hit him so hard that he turned his head to one side and vomited blood. Ronan took advantage of the situation and hit him hard in the face with the shield again.

After several heavy blows, the alpine barbarian's knees softened and he knelt on the spot. His helmet was deformed by Ronan's blows. He slowly fell down with his eyes blank. Ronan swung his battle ax again and chopped off his head.

, and then kicked the headless corpse to the wall.

Ronan passed through the border and beheaded enemies. In just a short period of time, no less than ten mountain men were killed by his hands. He hit the enemy against the wall again with a shield strike, and then swung his tomahawk to cut off his neck. After that, the enemy finally began to retreat.

.

The remaining Gaoshan people tried to climb down the city wall from the ladder, but as soon as they climbed onto the ladder, they were pushed directly by the defenders, and they could only dance and fade in mid-air.

It was a pity for Ronan not to see Tiberius in this battle, but thinking about it, as the leader, he would not appear in the first siege battle, and if he went into battle in person, it would really be a one-time attack.

The city wall was determined, because it was easy to get up on the city wall, but not easy to get down. Tiberius would not take such a risk.

Half a month passed in a flash. During this period, the mountain people launched several more attacks, but they all returned without success after leaving dozens of corpses behind. However, Ronan's side also lost more than a dozen people, all of whom were Terra's soldiers.

These mountain men may be brave and powerful on the frontal battlefield, but they are obviously not very good at sieges, and they do not have good siege equipment. If they had a siege vehicle, the results might be different.

But Geno's main attention is all on the battlefield of Taiwei. They must capture Taiwei as soon as possible, and then surround Taiweisan and cut off the connection between Taiweisan and Terra City. Only in this way can Terra

The city loses control of the port, which gives the Terran and Hinterlands forces a chance to defeat them one by one.

As for the situation here, Jino didn't pay attention at all. Seeing that Tiberius failed to end the battle for half a month, Jino directly sent someone to call Tiberius back, leaving only a team of 300 people.

Keep an eye on Ronan and others to prevent them from escaping from the fortress.
