Chapter 281: Torment to Death
The news of the enemy's attack quickly spread throughout the entire city of Lyell.
The citizens of Lyall City screamed and hid in their houses.
The generals headed by Eugene had a solemn face, holding their swords, and quickly climbed up the city wall to prepare to supervise the battle.
The soldiers who had just wanted to take advantage of the world's quietness to catch up on a good night's sleep were all called up and prepared to fight.
Although basically all of the 5,000 soldiers in the city had not slept all night, their movements were still not slow, and every move revealed an elite aura.
The soldiers on the city wall discovered that the enemy was attacking, and it took less than 10 minutes for the soldiers inside the city to prepare for battle.
Holding the sword hanging on his waist, Ou Ren quickly climbed up the north wall of Lyle City.
After climbing up the northern city wall of Lyle, Lyle saw a large group of dense black spots on the north side of Lyle City, approaching Lyle City quickly.
That's a large force of the Britannia Army!
Roughly speaking, the number of troops is approximately 34,000.
The Britannian army, which was constantly running towards the city of Lyell, was carrying dozens of long ladders made of wood in an emergency, and looked like it was planning to attack the city.
According to the soldiers' reports, only traces of enemy troops were found outside the northern city wall.
"snort!"
The dark-faced Ou Ren snorted angrily, and then said:
"If we are kept awake all night from now on, will our combat effectiveness weaken? Stop looking down on others! Northern dogs!"
Northern Dog is the scornful name given to the Britannia people by the Rollin Empire, because Britannia is located in the north of the Rollin Empire.
Over the past eight years, the Britannia Empire has frequently used troops against the Rollin Empire, and this contemptuous name for the Britannia people has gradually become popular.
bass!
Ou Ren drew out the long sword hanging from his left waist.
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
As soon as Ou Ren finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound on the city wall, and the crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time came out in unison. The crossbowmen with long range leaned their bodies against the city wall, and put their crossbows on the city wall.
Above, the crossbow bolts with cold light were aimed at the Britannia army below who were about to enter the range of the crossbows.
The archers stood behind the crossbowmen, loading arrows on their bows, ready to throw them at the bottom of the city wall.
The rest of the melee fighters stood behind the archers, waiting quietly for the Britannia army to climb up, and then engage in a happy fight with them.
Columns, boulders, boiling water and other defensive equipment to prevent the Britannia army from climbing up were all prepared on the city wall.
Now the officers and soldiers of Luo Lin's army on the city wall, from the generals led by Eugene to the ordinary soldiers, are all gearing up, hoping that the Britannia will come and kill them now.
No matter whether they are generals or soldiers, they all have resentment and anger in their stomachs.
It was this bunch of bastards that made me unable to sleep well last night! These bastards from Beigou are in need of cutting!!
This was the voice of almost all the defenders in the city at this time.
Therefore, there is no need for Eugene to mobilize and encourage, and the morale of the defenders in Lyle City is very high now.
Both of them wished that the Britannias would come over quickly so that they could hack them to death and vent their anger.
From the movements of the Britannia army outside the city that was approaching here, Eugene could see that the Britannia army outside the city was definitely not a force with low combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Ou Ren did not dare to be careless. He tightened the sword in his hand, raised his concentration to the top, and stared at the Britannia army outside the city that was approaching here, counting the distance between them and Leer City.
distance, ready to give the order to release arrows at any time.
Come on! Come on! Get closer! Get closer! We will be close to the range of the crossbow bolt!!
Ou Ren roared in his heart.
Some very experienced crossbowmen can also use experience to judge whether the Britannia army has entered the shooting range.
After seeing that the Britannia Army was about to enter the firing range, these crossbowmen couldn't help but swallow their saliva, stretched out the index finger of their right hand, and were ready to pull the trigger and fire at any time.
Only 200 meters left!!
When he saw that the Britannia army was only 200 meters away from the range of the crossbow bolts, Eugene clenched the sword in his hand, raised it high, cleared his throat at the same time, and prepared to order all the crossbowmen to start firing.
.
However, just when Eugene's words "Fire the arrow!" were about to come to his throat, and the index fingers of the crossbowmen's right hands were about to pull the trigger.
The Britannian army suddenly stopped.
The Britannia army suddenly stopped when they were about 200 meters away from the range of the crossbow.
Looking at the Britannia army that had just rushed towards them with great momentum, and now suddenly stopped outside the range of the crossbow bolts, Eugene couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No, it shouldn’t be said that Eugène’s eyes were wide-eyed. It should be said that all the generals and soldiers on the city wall who saw the sudden stop of the Britannia army’s operations were wide-eyed at this time.
What are the Britannian Army doing???
This is the voice of everyone on the city wall at this time.
At this time, Ou Ren also slowly lowered the sword he had held high with a blank look on his face.
After the Britannia army stopped, they did something that shocked everyone on the city wall even more.
They went back.
That's right, the Britannia army, which was originally charging with great momentum and holding a ladder, stopped in time when it was about to run into the range of the Luo Lin army's crossbows, and then slowly turned around and returned to the main camp.
Only the Luo Lin Army soldiers on the city wall were left, staring at each other in stunned silence.
…
Since the Britannian army has stopped attacking and returned to the main camp, there is no point in them crowding on the city wall.
So Eugène dismissed the soldiers on the city wall who were already ready for battle, and the generals, leaving only some soldiers to continue their vigilance.
After being disbanded, those soldiers who had no mission quickly returned to the military camp, preparing to catch up on a good night's sleep and no longer think about what the Britannia were doing.
However, just after they fell asleep for about an hour and had already entered a deep sleep state,
The world has become noisy again.
The more than 400 horns that had tormented them late last night were once again emitting a headache-inducing and annoying horn sound!
It is obvious which one is more maddening, being constantly being disturbed or being suddenly awakened while sleeping soundly.
Many Luo Lin Army soldiers who were sleeping soundly were suddenly awakened and began to wail in pain.
The world, which had finally calmed down, became "noisy" again.
…
At night, the continuous and annoying horn sound finally stopped again.
However, the Luo Lin Army soldiers in the city were not happy for long. A piece of news that made them crazy came again:
The Britannias are attacking again!
So, the generals and soldiers in the city hurriedly picked up their weapons, climbed onto the city wall, and prepared for battle.
However, the situation after that was exactly the same as that in the afternoon.
After the Britannia army was about to enter the range of the crossbow bolts, they retreated again.
Some crossbowmen fired crossbow bolts at the Britannia army unwillingly.
The result was also obvious: none of the crossbow bolts they fired could fly to the feet of the Britannia army.
After launching the second "offensive", the Britannia army once again slowly retreated to the camp under the confused gaze of Luo Lin's army.
More than an hour later, the continuous and annoying horn sounded again.
…
A few hours later, when it was already late at night, the horn sound used by the Britannia army to disturb the enemy stopped again!
Hearing the horn sound of the Britannia army stopped again, the generals and soldiers in the city, including Eugène, picked up their weapons and prepared to climb the city wall as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
However, Luo Lin's army inside the city was nervously prepared to meet the enemy, but they did not wait for the "enemy attack warning" from the soldiers who were on guard on the city wall.
This time, although the trumpet sound stopped, the Britannia army did not attack.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
A soldier who had just picked up the spear in his hand and was nervously preparing to climb the wall threw the spear in his hand after learning that the Britannia army had not even attacked at all this time.
On the ground, there was a shrill wail.
The way this spearman looks like now is actually not an exception. At this time, many soldiers and generals in the city are in the same state of mind as this spearman, and they are about to collapse from the Britannia army!
At this time, Ou Ren was sitting behind the long table in his office, with his elbows on the table and his fingers interlaced under his nose.
Compared with yesterday, Ou Ren looked much more haggard now, as if he had aged many years.
"... Oede, please bring reinforcements over quickly..." Ou Ren murmured, "I feel like I won't be able to survive until July 24th... If you don't come soon, I'm afraid I will be defeated by the city."
The Britannia army outside was driven crazy, and then they abandoned the city of Lyell and led the entire army to a decisive battle with the Britannia army in the field... Even if I die, I will kill a few more Britannia soldiers.
Vent your hatred..."
…
At this time, Deng Jiaer's army camp was outside Leer City.
"Huh huh huh~~"
Deng Jiaer, with his hands on his hips, smiled proudly while looking at the distant city of Leer, which was now covered by the sound of horns again.
Then, Deng Jiaer turned her head and said to Alan, who was standing next to her:
"How about it, Alan, my enemy-tiring tactic is more than just making noise! Some of the enemy soldiers in the city should be going crazy now."
Alan did not respond to Deng Jiaer.
Instead, he looked at Deng Jiaer with fearful eyes.
At this time, Alan felt for the first time that this friend, who usually didn't seem to have any other characteristics except being a little cute, was a bit scary!
