But before the gate of Wengcheng was opened, the crowded skeleton warriors on the ramp still needed to be cleared.
Frowning slightly, Kant turned his head, glanced at the towers on both sides, and ordered: "Mage apprentices release fireball with all their strength, clean up the ramp and the area under the ramp, so that troops can enter and exit easily!"
"Yes!" A messenger immediately took the order and left.
Soon, 4 mage apprentices appeared on the tower, raising their staffs and pointing downwards.
As the fireball with a slightly scorching aura blazed and rushed down, fire dragons exploded on the entire ramp in an instant, whistling and sweeping, releasing immeasurable heat waves, devouring all the hundreds of skeleton soldiers and skeleton soldiers!
The raging flames burned most of the skeletons, and the hot fire element directly eroded the soul fire in the skulls.
Eventually everything subsides.
There was only gray and black with black smoke left on the entire ramp.
But the countless skeleton warriors in the rear didn't care, and they still rushed forward with their rotten weapons. Obviously, this kind of scene was not the first time for them, and it was not the first time that the fireball technique cleared the ramp.
But this time the fireball burst did not end.
The master apprentice on the tower continued to cast spells.
Another round of fireball technique rushed down, but it exploded at the bottom of the ramp. The raging fire dragon not only frantically destroyed any skeletons that dared to approach, but also pushed the skeleton warriors who continued to come from behind, crashing down. !
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The Vikir Marksman has launched a precise rapid-fire.
Cone-headed arrows poured down on the 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp like a torrential rain, directly blasting the heads of the surviving skeleton warriors, completely cleaning the ramp.
For top shooters, this is simply a piece of cake.
"It's now."
There was a flash of light in Kant's eyes.
Waving forward, he ordered in a deep voice, "Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
Then, the soldiers in charge of the city gate started to act one after another.
The winch of the iron gate drives the thick hemp rope to pull up the heavy cast iron gate, while the heavy wooden gate underneath is unlatched with three layers of latches, completely opening the 3-meter-wide city gate.
Bundak, in chain mail, stood in front of the neatly lined Swadian light infantry.
He was the general who led the troops on this attack.
"Attack!"
Bundak stepped forward first.
Behind them, 1,000 Swadian light infantry formed a 5-team sequence, then stepped forward to keep up, and slowly advanced forward, holding the standard spears tightly with both hands, forming a dense spear phalanx.
Especially the light infantry at the front, the spears in their hands are placed horizontally, and the spears are pushed forward between steps.
The spearhead still shone coldly under the golden light above its head.
Facing the skeleton warriors who were temporarily hindered by the crossbowmen and could not successfully step onto the ramp, the light infantry crossed the city gate and finally came to the ramp, walking faster and faster.
"Stop shooting!"
Kant reached out and clenched his fist.
The desert robbers nearby shouted at the same time, quickly passing the order down.
The light infantry had already entered the ramp and was about to reach the bottom. If they continued to shoot, there might be a possibility of accidental injury, because the group of skeleton warriors sensed that human troops were finally attacking, and they were all boiling!
There was a silent roar, but the crisp sound of the bones colliding with each other resounded through the space.
The fire of the soul swayed in the eye sockets.
The rotten halberd and long sword were already tightly held by the bones of the hand, and they stepped forward quickly, slashing at the human infantry who were also rushing towards them, and the two sides collided heavily!
"Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka-"
The sound of bones breaking could be heard endlessly.
Before the skeleton warriors on the top floor even slashed their halberds, the Swadian light infantry lined up in front of them grasped their spears tightly with both hands and stabbed them down heavily.
The intersecting halberds broke instantly, and even the once gorgeous and sturdy ancient armor was directly shattered.
The body made of bones was also pierced.
For the skeleton warriors who are not flesh and blood, although this is not a fatal injury, the Swadian light infantrymen yanked their spears fiercely and continued to collide with their bodies, which made them unstable. The body instantly shattered into pieces and turned into a pile of useless bones!
What's more, even the skull was directly pierced by the spear, shattering the soul fire in the skull, allowing these dead who should have died to continue to sleep forever.
"kill!"
Bandak's attack is even simpler.
He just waved the knight sword in his hand, and the blade with the power of the underworld easily cut across the fragile bones, and finally eroded the soul fire in the skull, allowing these undead to return to decay.
This is not the time for desperate, teams of Swadian light infantry rushed down and established a defensive line around the ramp.
The sturdy fan shield has been put on the left hand.
Now it's melee.
A spear is actually not as effective as a Germanic sword that can be swung.
And this kind of Germanic sword has a short attack distance, which is equivalent to a dagger, but in this kind of melee environment, it can slash at a faster frequency, allowing the sharp blade to cut through decayed weapons and armor, and tear those The shell of the skeleton warrior!
"Immediately arrange 5 mage apprentices to enter the battlefield and release status-like spells!"
On the city wall, Kant gave an order.
Soon, the five sorcerer apprentices drawn from other city walls quickly came to the battlefield with the opened gate of the urn city.
"Sharp Metal Technique!"
This is the spell they cast.
The Swadian light infantry in the front row took over the spell, and as the golden light gathered on the edge of the Germanic sword in their hands, their slashing became easier and the destructive power they caused was even more terrifying!
Even the skulls of those skeleton warriors can be cut off with one blow, just like the sharpest long sword!
"For Lord Kant! For Swadia!"
The light infantry shouted after seeing the power of the spell.
They lined up neatly in a semicircle, the queue was 4 layers thick, facing the attack of the skeleton warriors together, but right under their feet, piles of bones had already piled up.
A large number of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers are simply cannon fodder and pose no threat to these light infantry.
Even if you can use weapons to chop these infantry, it won't work.
Decaying halberds or long swords can't cut through the chain mail that was strictly supervised by the Kingdom of Swadia. Often these decaying weapons break off by themselves, leaving only a few marks on the chain mail , and tore the linen burka over it.
But every time the light infantry slashed the Germanic sword, those undead skeletons, whether they were stronger skeleton warriors or more decayed and weaker skeleton soldiers, were chopped into a pile of scattered bones.
Not to mention the fan shield.
Lifting their shields against the deadlier blows, they were even pushing outward.
Step by step forward, wading through the bones that have reached the depth of the calf, chopping those skeletons, turning these undead into broken bones, and then they changed from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor, and even the 2nd floor, unexpectedly killing them abruptly out.
And it also withstood the impact of those astonishing number of skeletons!
"very good."
Kant saw clearly on the city wall.
The ramp outside the gate of the Wengcheng below has been cleared out a large space.
Those light infantry were like embankments, protecting the fertile fields in the lowlands, keeping the waves of skeletons out and ensuring safety.
It's just that the expansion distance of these light infantry has come to an end.
Line up 2 floors side by side is their limit.
The danger of only one layer of the defense line is too great. If the skeletons break through a certain point, it means that the entire defense line has been breached, and everyone will suffer misfortune. When the time comes, they must retreat urgently. Rout!
And even now, they sensed the limit of their advancement, and began to retreat slowly.
Bandak also asked them to retreat in a deep voice.
Some of the light infantry in the front row have been slightly injured, and there are quite a few of them.
After all, there were so many skeletons, and they fought one after another, how could they cause a little pain to the exposed skin of the light infantry, or even pierce the chain mail a little, causing skin trauma.
In the end, the light infantry shrank back and faced the enemy again in a 4-tier array.
The wounded rest behind and heal.
After a simple bandage to ensure the recovery of physical strength, he continued to push forward to the front line and slashed hard.
As for the light infantry who have already exhausted their physical strength, they will come to the rear to rest at this time. If someone is injured, they will be simply bandaged at the same time to ensure that no one is too seriously injured and killed in battle.
What's more, there is also a mage apprentice, each release of the sharp golden blade can last for 20 minutes.
2 times per person per day.
It just happened to be the time to rotate the front and rear rows.
As long as the front row can't hold on, the back row will use the Germanic sword with a sharp gold blade to go up, quickly clean up those weak skeletons, and let your companions retreat to the back to rest.
They fought for an hour in front of the ramp, and the number of skeletons piled up was too much.
They even raise the ground!
The light infantry's line of defense remained unbroken.
"about there."
Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the formation that had begun to shake, and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, let the heavy cavalry go down to fight on foot, and cover the light infantry to retreat!"
"Yes!" The desert robbers obeyed and left immediately to convey.
Soon, 300 heavy cavalry lined up holding shields.
With a long sword in hand, he walked down the ramp quickly, standing in front of the light infantry, and even more powerfully slashed and killed the skeletons that rushed over, smashing these undead into pieces of bones.
But this time instead of advancing, it was retreating.
The light infantry supported each other and quickly returned, and under the cover of the heavy cavalry, they easily returned to the inside of the urn.
The heavy cavalry also retreated step by step, stabilized their formation, retreated on the ramp, and finally returned to the gate of the Wengcheng, and returned to the protection of the Wengcheng.
"Close the city gate!"
Kant ordered.
Originally restrained by the winch, the cast iron gate hung on the top of the city gate was instantly lowered, and the heavy iron gate, which weighed several tons, slammed down in front of the city gate, smashing the skeleton warriors who were still rushing over, and at the same time blocked them outside.
But there are still 20+ skeleton fighters rushing over.
However, the heavy cavalry in the rear of the palace easily chopped off the skull with their swords, and scattered it into a pile of broken bones at the gate of the city.
