    Chapter 28 Attack on the City Wall

    Ali led the sailors to direct the people to move the items, and said loudly: "Hurry up and chop the wood into small pieces, and soak the wood pieces with some lard. Some sawdust is wrapped in torn rags outside, and we need to make more incendiary bombs.  .¡±

    "In addition, chop all the requisitioned wood into long spears, put some grease on the front part, and project it from the city wall to seriously injure them."

    "Stones, these things are not very lethal, but they definitely hurt, so move them up."

    "Sand!"

    "Haha! It's just sand."

    Ali looked at the half bag of sand placed at the corner of the city wall. His expression was stunned, and he laughed suddenly and said loudly: "Here comes someone! Everyone put the stones and wood aside first, and carry the sand to the city wall first, and wait until they attack  We would throw sand down the city wall."

    "Ah! Why didn't I think of that?" "Yes! It's really clever to use sand to confuse the enemy's eyes and distract them from seeing us!"

    "As expected of the vice president of the Elant Academy of Science, the most powerful weapons expert and ship expert, he is indeed amazing."

    "quick!"

    "hurry up!"

    "The great scientist Ali has spoken. Let's all collect sand and carry it to the east wall."

    ¡­¡­

    Many Elantra sailors, city defense soldiers, free people of Waterdeep City, and city guards all looked at Ali with admiration, stretched out their thumbs and cheered.

    "Haha!" Ali laughed and waved to some girls and women in private houses and on the street.

    Bonodong, who happened to be leading people to the west gate, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and led the guards towards the west gate tower.

    Around one o'clock, the sun in the sky has deviated from the east, and the huge light is no longer shining on the noble coalition forces as tightly as in the morning. The defensive soldiers on the wall of Elant's west gate are also troubled by this shining sunshine.  Fortunately, it is already late autumn, and the sun is far away from the planet. The light and heat it emits are no longer as lethal to human eyes as they are in summer.

    One kilometer away from the west gate of Waterdeep City, in the coalition conference room, General Kevlar said seriously: "We have more than 7,000 people here, and more than 1,000 people were injured in the morning. Now more than half of the slightly injured people have recovered. I have decided to  This part of the population flowed to the final attack.¡±

    "Our army now has more than 6,500 combatants. I decided to divide 2,000 people to lead 10 ladders and siege batons, and General Tutus from Cape Watch City attacked from the east gate."

    "I will lead the main force to storm the west wall."

    "The order is passed down, the first one to climb the city tower will be rewarded with 1,000 silver coins, and the first centurion to stand on the city wall will be rewarded with 10 silver coins for each person in the team. Let's lead the troops and disperse now!"

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    Everyone nodded excitedly, and Tutus also led the troops from the city of Cape Watch and the troops from the nobles around Cape Watch to march along the north gate of Waterdeep City toward the east gate.

    Bono, who was standing on the city wall talking to Pulet, shouted: "Oops! A small half of them left the camp and walked towards our north gate."

    Pulet looked sharply at the army carrying ladders and pushing simple battering rams, and said solemnly: "I feel that they will never attack the north gate. It is very likely that they will attack our east gate."

    "I feel the same way." Bonodong nodded seriously and said with a headache: "A section of our eastern city wall was once destroyed by a bronze cannon. This morning, some soldiers came with ladders and large wooden hammers to attack the eastern city wall.  The gate was pushed back by me and the navy fleet, and now it's here again, and with so many people, I feel like this time the east gate won't be able to be defended."

    "Bonodong, you must hold on! We must wait until the baron comes back together!" Pulet looked at the direction to the south and whispered:

    "This may be the last wave of attacks. It was all my fault just now. 70% of the human and powerless resources were consumed on the west gate wall, leaving less than 20% of the total resources on the east gate. If I had known they would disperse so many  People, I will allocate resources evenly."

    "Old General, I don't blame you. After all, Ximen is under the greatest pressure. I went back to set up defenses." Bonodong shook his head slightly, looked at Pulet expectantly and said, "Although the enemy is large in number, now we have  The sailors, the people who came to help us, and the security soldiers from Waterdeep City, together we have more than 2,000 people."

    "As long as your west gate can withstand it, then even if my east gate is broken, I will block it with all my strength, fight and retreat at the same time, and fight together until the last moment."

      "What's more, our naval fleet is still in the harbor. After a while, I will call my brother to use naval guns to attack the eastern battlefield indiscriminately. I will see who can survive to the end between me and them, who are protected by the city wall."  Bono laughed and walked downstairs with confidence.

    "Come on! Bono dong!"

    Pulet forced a smile on his face and shouted: "If you are a man, you must resist it. I want to compete with you to see who is more manly among us!"

    "good!"

    At about 1:15 in the afternoon, more than 100 artillerymen from the Noble Alliance pushed two huge trebuchets 15 meters high and ran 600 meters away from the gate of Waterdeep City.  More than 3,500 people were divided into more than 30 teams around the trebuchet. Each team set up a ladder. In the middle, more than 100 soldiers pushed a 20-meter-long log on more than 10 wheeled carts slowly forward.

    "Launch!"

    "Launch!"

    Two huge trebuchet winches were suddenly released, and stones and clods weighing more than 200 kilograms hit the outside and walls of the west gate. Suddenly, everyone on the tower felt a slight trembling sound coming from the ground.

    "Attack!"

    "Attack!"

    ¡­¡­

    Kevlar pulled out his long sword and struck down. The knights and soldiers who received the general attack roared one after another. More than 3,000 people dispersed and advanced slowly with shields and ladders on their backs.

    The battering ram and the surrounding ladder siege infantry advanced slowly. All the infantry opened their shields and looked out from between the gaps.  Starting in the morning, the aristocratic alliance that attacked in a chaotic manner had learned their lesson. The attacking teams were more orderly and coordinated, and the siege effect was much greater than before.

    "Launch!"

    "Launch!"

    On the city wall, more than a dozen small trebuchets fired shells from the city wall at the advancing noble coalition infantry. The trebuchets from both sides fired at each other. Due to environmental reasons, the large trebuchets and catapults were blocked by the city wall and could not exert their power.  The Elantra army will obviously suffer a lot.

    The crudely made trebuchet of the noble coalition was not stable. It was fired 10 times, and only once hit the city wall heavily, shaking the Elante sailors on the wall.

    Due to its height, Elantra's small catapult cannon was fired 500 meters away. Every time it fired 10 stone cannonballs, it could always hit the large number of noble coalition forces 9 times.

    Although the more than 20 kilograms of artillery shells lost their strength after flying a long distance, whether they were direct fire or projectiles, the huge force could always break their shields and injure the infantry behind the shields.

    Kefla looked at the small catapults on the city wall and cursed: "Damn it, order the archers to shoot and cover the siege troops."

    "yes!"

    The herald quickly conveyed the order to the centurion of the bow and arrow camp.
