Chapter 14 Battle of Ramis City (2)
"Damn it, it's only 4:30 in the afternoon, and the wall in the southeast corner of our city is about to be breached. What do you think?" Palaris looked to the south in surprise.
Koleles, who was running back in embarrassment while leading his army from being chased, raised his eyebrows and said: "The Elantians just chose a good position and were lucky. They took advantage of the fact that our south side was perpendicular to their army's front and could not attack, so they directly led people to attack our east side. We just built a part of the city wall to attack by force. We are waiting for our main army to arrive. The archers will rely on the coordinates provided by the observers on the city wall and fire bows and arrows at the corners, which will definitely cause heavy losses to the infantry who filled the moat. "
"good!"
¡°That¡¯s it!¡±
General Cheerst suddenly said: "We also have a lot of reserve troops on the three city walls in the south, north and west. We will leave 3,000 people for defense on these three city walls, and the rest of the troops will be mobilized to the east. Even if The outer city wall of the East has been breached, and we must take advantage of the moat to be filled in to resist here and inflict greater casualties on them."
"good!"
"We are now discussing the transfer order and will issue a notice immediately."
Palaris nodded and said seriously: "At the same time, inform the count and use reserve infantry and the public to transport the bows, arrows, weapons and fuel supplies stored in our frontline warehouses to the inner city to prevent these things from falling into the hands of the Elante people."
"Um!"
"yes!"
"OK!"
¡¡
The headquarters of Ramis City is operating quickly.
At this moment, Lin Fenghan rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at the southeastern city wall, smiling happily: "This time. Rana leads our left-wing troops to attack behind the outer city wall of Ramis. The strength of the central part must be reduced. The most important thing is The confidence of the city defense soldiers outside Ramis has been shaken by our army."
"And now half of the city wall within more than 1,200 meters outside the city gate to the east of Ramis has been damaged and is crumbling. It is time for us to launch a full-scale attack."
"Vera, please inform us to launch an attack. Let our artillery continue to advance, close to within 400 meters of the city wall. The archer troops also continue to advance, close to within 200 to 300 meters of the city wall. Shoot arrows inside to suppress them. Buckler infantry prepare rafts and Aerial ladders are prepared to build pontoon bridges, and the remaining troops lead logistics supplies and are responsible for holding down the formation."
"The baron has given the order, the troops will advance at full speed and attack immediately."
"The commander-in-chief has ordered us to attack immediately."
"Go!"
"go ahead!"
"Go!"
"Kill it!"
¡¡
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Fire!"
"Attack!"
¡¡
"Go!"
"Go!"
"Go!"
¡¡
The artillery troops of six to seven thousand people advanced together with the archers, firing arrows and stone bullets. rear. The buckler infantrymen holding ladders held their shields and, encouraged by the centurion squadron leader, ran towards the moat in front holding the ladder planks.
"The Elantras are coming!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Directly ahead. Forty-five degrees, shoot!"
"Cum!"
¡¡
On the ruined fragments of the three- to five-meter-high city wall, many archers and lookouts from the city of Ramis had the upper hand. They looked at the running Elantes troops and shouted loudly to the surrounding Ramis city defense troops.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
¡¡
Two to three thousand long arrows were fired at the Elantes troops from behind the city wall.
"ah!"
"So many bows and arrows!"
"Lie down!"
"Raise your shield!"
"Raise your shield!"
"Block!"
¡¡
Many infantrymen with bucklers who were shot raised their bucklers, shrunk their bodies, and held up wooden boards and stakes to block the arrows.
"Under the city wall in the northwest."
"Behind the southwestern city wall!"
"Ahead to the left, raise the bow and arrow, 50 degrees, and shoot!"
"emission! "
¡¡
The pulley longbowmen and the artillerymen of the artillery regiment, who found the coordinates according to the direction of the arrow flying, quickly adjusted their positions and launched an attack on the target.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
¡¡
"ah!"
"So many arrows!"
"Hurry up and dodge!"
"Our location has been exposed!"
¡°Hurry up and enter the house.¡±
¡¡
Under this wave of counterattack, many archer troops who did not defend in time and had no place to hide, suffered from two to three hundred people injured by arrows. The battle is still going on, and the Ramis archer troops who have learned the lesson this time have launched attacks 50 meters and 100 meters away from the back wall.
Based on the trajectory of the flying arrows, the Elantes archer troops, who could always observe the shooting location, rushed forward one after another.
"Go!"
"Hurry up and jump into the river and fix the wooden stakes!"
"The wooden stakes are fixed vertically and crosswise, and the ladder is put up."
"Sandbags!"
"Report to the captain, the small pontoon bridge has been erected."
"good!"
The centurion who was assuming a pontoon bridge in front looked in surprise at the 12 and a half meter wide road that had been built on the remains of the fallen city tower using a pontoon bridge. He shouted in surprise: "The whole army is covering this pontoon bridge. Use this pontoon bridge as the base point to quickly move towards the city." Insert wooden stakes vertically into the surrounding river water, and place ladders and planks. At the same time, quickly call Captain Farab and ask him to lead people to support here."
"yes!"
"Brothers, come on!"
"Our infantrymen from the first regiment on the front line have built the pontoon bridge. Everyone, please work hard!"
"Logistics infantry, hurry up and protect this place, archers, hurry up and cover!"
¡¡
Amidst the many chaotic sounds, the Elantes soldiers on the front line who heard the situation cheered up and worked harder to transport the wood.
At five o'clock in the afternoon on July 15, the siege troops in the northeast corner of Doilantes' left wing suddenly let out a burst of shocking shouts. Then the buckler infantry in front held shields and rushed up to the remains of the east city wall to form a shield array and slowly fired their bows and arrows. They fought towards the city under the cover of their hands. After hearing the situation, many Palaris quickly dispatched 3,000 elite city defense infantry to intercept.
Five twenty-four. Suddenly another huge shout sounded from the front. After nearly an hour of hard work. Elantes' frontline infantry finally built a wooden bridge within 300 meters including the dilapidated stone bridge on the main road in the east city.
"Baron. The frontline troops sent a notice. Our vanguard troops have repaired the stone bridge and built a new wooden pontoon bridge with a width of more than 300 meters. The newly built bridge is enough to support our full attack of the cavalry and catapult troops. .¡±
"good!"
Lin Fenghan, who was dozing in the chair behind him, suddenly became energetic. He looked at the clock and raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Order the entire army to launch an all-out assault. We will break into the city of Ramis before six o'clock in the afternoon. Tonight Our troops are to sleep outside the city of Ramis.¡±
"yes!"
"yes!"
Vera and the others cheered up and prepared the procedures one by one. Lin Fenghan mounted his war horse and followed the messenger in front towards the city of Ramis.
"The first and second regiments of the Buckler Swordsman Infantry Regiment are trying their best to capture the main road and residential areas 1,000 meters ahead."
"The third regiment of Buckler Swordsmen is responsible for attacking the area within 500 meters to the southeast."
"The fourth regiment of Buckler Swordsmen Infantry is responsible for the city wall troops within 500 meters in the northeast."
"The entire infantry of the Phalanx Corps will attack. The first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment are responsible for the defense of the northeast."
"The 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments of the phalanx infantry assault toward the southeast to join our southeast left wing."
"The first, second, and third regiments of heavy spear infantry entered the city with all their strength and advanced toward the southeast. At the same time, they occupied the southern city wall."
"The first and second regiments of pulley longbowmen. The third and fourth regiments cooperate with the buckler swordsmen infantry to attack southeast with all their strength."
"The fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments of the Pulley Longbowmen cooperate with the northeastern army to kill toward the northeast."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
¡¡
Many messengers nodded one after another, and with excitement and excitement, the two of them on horseback teamed up to convey the order to each infantry regiment.
At this time, under the city gate to the east of Ramis, many attackersThe infantrymen were jealous and climbed up the broken city wall tirelessly to kill the observers above. The buckler infantry who repaired the drawbridge of the central city gate powerfully broke the thick second-story city gate, cleared the stones, wood, bags and other messy objects in the gate, and opened the correct passage.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Go!"
"Come on!"
¡¡
At this time, Count Ramiler, accompanied by Semerina, climbed to the headquarters of the Pavilion Arrow Tower. Looking at the numerous militiamen who came up below, he said in shock: "Now they have breached the wall of our outer city. There are many people outside. The troops are coming like a tide, our headquarters seems to be no longer safe, please prepare to retreat later!"
"Um!"
Palaris nodded in agreement, looked at the panicked Count Lamie and said: "Your Majesty, our peripheral militia has suffered more than 3,000 casualties. The external army's morale has been demoralized and its combat effectiveness has been seriously reduced. I ask you to send your elite troops to The inner city defense troops are being mobilized from the inner city to stop these Elantes."
"What?"
Count Lamie asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that the more than 15,000 militia troops on the periphery are enough to stop Illantes' army coming to attack the city? Why do we need support now? In the cavalry attack just now, our more than 3,000 cavalry were One-tenth of them were scattered, and more than 300 people could not enter the city and were chased by the Elantians to other places. Now, what are the opinions?"
"Earl, you have to judge the matter based on the matter."
Palaris's face turned red, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "This time the power of the Elante's artillery is too powerful, coupled with so many trebuchet troops. And our trebuchet troops are arranged on the city wall to increase long-range strikes. Now we want to It was also difficult to mobilize, and it was of no use as they could not fly over the seven-meter-high city wall. The archer troops suffered heavy losses due to their fixed location. We suffered more than 3,000 casualties and were wearing leather and cloth armor for defense. The weak archer force will occupy two-thirds."
"In this attack, our city wall only played a limited role and was finished. The residents of Ramis in the outer city did not have a suitable city wall to provide them with access to the battlefield to help us. So their power has been nullified. Our outer city More than 10,000 militia troops. More than 3,000 noble attendants and more than 2,000 city defense troops. 3,000 of them must be defended on three walls and cannot be mobilized. Only 12,000 people joined the battlefield. Due to previous battles, we lost more than 3,000 combat effectiveness. , now there are only more than 9,000 troops left in the army. Among these 9,000 people, there are nearly a thousand people who are still defending in the towers and pavilions, conveying orders and transporting supplies. Only the southeastern troops are actually fighting on the front line, and there are only 1,000 mixed defense troops + 3,000 troops. 4,000 people defend the southern city wall. But now due to the continuous main force attacks in the central area, we only have less than 5,000 people who can move. "
"You have also seen the attack launched by the Elantes just now. With this part of the organization being incomplete, part of the army lost, and the morale of the militia as the main force being severely reduced, it is impossible to stop the menacing Elantes, so for the sake of Duo Duo To delay time, to defend this area, we must send more troops to replace these militia units as the main force and fight the Elantes in the outer city."
Count Ramiller hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "But now that we have thrown out the cavalry in the inner city, we are left with 7,000 elite city defense troops from all over the country and 5,000 noble knight attendants. They also have to defend the inner city wall. If the Illantes enter If the city bravely attacks our inner city at all costs, then the undefended or weakly defended inner city may be broken. I don't want to see such a thing."
"It's better than this!"
Koleris provided a compromise plan and said quickly: "Anyway, once the east wall of Ramis is broken, the other three walls cannot be defended. We quickly mobilized all the other three thousand-man teams to the east. Regional melee, and at the same time, 3,000 elite noble knight troops were drawn from the inner city to supervise, replace part of the militia troops, and continue fighting while preventing the militia troops from disintegrating. When it gets dark or the situation is not good, our army will Retreat into the inner city.¡±
"good!"
"This is a good idea!"
"Can!"
Palaris, Count Ramelle nodded with satisfaction, and everyone ordered the messengers to convey orders to the surroundings.
The sound of war drums and horns sounded together, and several troops who suddenly climbed over the city wall and rushed into the city did not even bow to the left and right.The gunmen and militiamen attacked and ran straight towards the inner city.
¡°Damn it!¡±
"They are coming to kill us!"
"quick!"
"Order the Guards to stop them, and we will retreat quickly."
Everyone at the Ramis City Tower Command looked at the Elantes Buckler Swordsmen troops charging towards them in shock. They looked at the thousands of troops running straight towards them. They thought the command headquarters had been discovered and were shocked. The people in the headquarters and the messengers retreated towards the rear.
"Go!"
"Kill!"
Wearing leather armor and holding large shields, the buckler swordsman infantry entered in front of many poorly equipped militia troops armed with bows and arrows. They suddenly burst into bursts of shouting and rushed towards the shocked archer troops.
After struggling to kill for two or three minutes, most of the long-range damage was done. The archers and spearmen of Ramis, whose morale plummeted, were unable to stop the buckler infantry and the subsequent charge of tens of thousands of people. They ran back in confusion and fear. go. Only elite soldiers, mainly noble soldiers and city defense soldiers, were left to resist the Elantes.
¡°Damn, you¡¯re a bunch of trash!¡±
"Farmers are really unreliable!"
"Sir Knight, there are too many of them, we can't stop them! If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded."
The noble soldiers near the east gate of Ramis shouted. After reviewing the situation ahead, the noble centurion had to raise his hands and shout: "Brothers, retreat, let's go to the inner city wall."
"good!"
"Very good!"
"Walk!"
¡¡
"They retreated!"
"Even their elite infantry retreated!"
"Very good!"
Condai, who was rushing forward with three heavy spearmen, looked at the situation of the forward and made an instant decision. He shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Starling Heavy Infantry Regiment, the target is due to the west. Come with me and fight in." .¡±
"Captain, the order given to you by Commander Yi Liuyun is for us to attack the Ramis city defense infantry in the south so that our troops in the southeast corner can enter the city smoothly. You are now leading our troops to the west. This is in line with the commander's intention. It doesn¡¯t fit!¡±
Kong Dai¡¯s friend from the same city, Kong Bujier, hesitated and stood still with the many infantry around him, thinking in embarrassment.
"enough!"
Kongdai turned around sternly, stared coldly at Kongbujier, accompanied by the escort officers, members of the escort team, and many surrounding heavy infantrymen from the same city, and said loudly: "I am the commander of this infantry regiment, and I have the qualifications We have all the rights to mobilize and command thousands of troops on the battlefield. Currently on the battlefield, there are six to seven thousand troops going to support the southern area. It doesn¡¯t matter whether there is one more of us in the southern army or one less of us. And now we Many Ramis city infantry in the front direction have begun to collapse and flee, and our few buckler infantry regiments have no time to catch up with such a large range of troops. Now is a good time for us to kill the enemy and break through. If the fighter plane misses, then wait for these troops After escaping into the inner city, our troops will surely lose more people. As the commander of a thousand-man team, I must be flexible and shoulder my responsibilities."
Kong Dai looked at the soldiers in front of him with slightly enlightened eyes, and said calmly: "Brothers, you have all joined the Elantes troops with me not long ago. In the previous battles, because the spear troops we led were basically on the left and right The wing guards and the rear are responsible for guarding supplies. They belong to the auxiliary second-line army sequence. We have been unable to express our talents. Now the opportunity we have been waiting for has arrived. As long as we lead the army to kill in the front, we can take over the battlefield. With the advantage, I can capture thousands of soldiers, and then our troops will take the opportunity to insert into the inner city wall and break through the inner city in one go. Then with my huge military exploits, I will be successfully promoted to general. With my own outstanding military talents, I will be able to work with Rana in the future. , like Davout, command a flank army alone, or like General Colander and General Plutt, lead a front army alone. When the time comes, you will follow me and work together to get promoted and make a fortune, and honor your family. For future glory, you are ready. Yet?"
"alright!"
"My blood is boiling!"
"For our future, we must fight hard!"
"Yes, I have already made up my mind. Even if I disobey in front of the baron, I won't care."
¡¡
Combugir, Kronstadt and others were all excited and shouted excitedly.
