A new day has arrived, and a new battle begins!
As the sun has just risen, Constantine and Alfonso once again lead an army of forty thousand to launch a new round of attacks on the Fla Demon Tribe Wall.
This ti, carrying more siege ladders.
Just like yesterday, they first endured a round of giant crossbow bolts and then a wave of attacks from huge catapults. Only this ti, they were actually throwing stones. Suo Mo also abandoned the use of li bombs, and as for the fish oil bombs, since there weren’t many left, they were unwilling to use them at this mont.
Upon closing within two hundred ters of the wall, they entered the range of the nearly twenty thousand soldiers on the wall, triggering a true volley of arrows.
However, this ti the casualties caused by the arrow rain were much fewer. Because all forty thousand troops of the Silver Alliance were now equipped with a shield each.
The shield is simple, just a thick wooden plank, but it’s enough to block most of the arrows.
After paying a casualty of two thousand, the forty thousand-strong army of the Silver Alliance once again reached the walls, once again set up hundreds of siege ladders, and once again sward upward like a tide.
It must be said, the Barbarian Tribe soldiers are truly brave.
Despite the tragic battle and heavy casualties yesterday, today they still climbed up fiercely.
And with the confidence of yesterday’s big victory, the defenders on the Fla Demon Tribe Wall remained calm.
Shooting the climbing soldiers with arrows, using logs, and smashing them with stones.
But today’s results were not as good as yesterday because each soldier of the Silver Alliance had a shield, capable of blocking a substantial part of the bow and arrow fire. The Barbarian Tribe soldiers, being fierce, would continue to climb as long as they were not fatally wounded by arrows.
Moreover, the previously attacking Silver Alliance troops did not bring bows and arrows, but today they also equipped themselves with bows and arrows, exchanging fire beneath the walls, causing significant casualties for the Fla Demon Tribe defenders.
Since there weren’t many fish oil bombs left, Suo Mo restrained from using them from the start, relying only on arrows, stones, and logs to thwart the enemy’s climb.
But it was not effective.
Add to that the siege ladders from yesterday, and today, there were over a hundred, nearly two hundred siege ladders set up on the wall.
Simultaneously, over three to four thousand Barbarian soldiers climbed the walls.
While below, twenty to thirty thousand Barbarian soldiers continued their counterattack using bows and arrows!
In an instant, a thousand-man Barbarian army was about to successfully climb to the top!
"Fish oil bombs, attack!"
At Suo Mo’s command, the soldiers, long eager and restless, zealously hurled the pottery jars filled with fish oil.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Countless pottery jars shattered, spraying fish oil onto the bodies of the Barbarian attackers and the siege ladders!
Then...
Fire arrows whizzed out!
The flas once again engulfed the entire wall, consuming almost all the siege ladders.
The familiar yet heart-wrenching screams once again filled the air.
Death akin to hellfire descended upon the Silver Alliance troops once more.
The entire wall was ablaze with countless Barbarian enemy forces burning fiercely.
Suo Mo sighed in his heart, realizing the power of fire attacks and the effectiveness of fish oil bombs.
The ferocious assault of the Barbarian army was directly curbed.
Not only that, but the burning flas and thick smoke made it impossible for soldiers below the walls to aim their arrows or provide suppressive fire on the walls.
These fish oil bombs were simply magic tools for city defense.
Unfortunately, there weren’t enough of them.
In one whole month, the Fla Demon Tribe had boiled down 280,000 jin of fish oil, initially thinking it would be a staggering amount, impossible to use up.
Unexpectedly, in actual combat, it proved to be exhaustible.
The battle situation began to mirror yesterday’s scenario.
Even ard with shields, the Barbarian enemy forces were of no avail, perhaps even worse off since these wooden shields turned into accelerants when set afla.
Beneath the entire wall, over a hundred siege ladders turned into a life-consuming inferno once again!
The seven-mile long wall beca a at grinder once again, with the Silver Alliance soldiers piling on with their lives.
Casualties reached three thousand, five thousand, seven thousand...
In the Human Kingdom’s army, they would have long collapsed, long fled.
But this group of rough, fierce Barbarian warriors persisted, charging up like ants.
Using water and mud, they put out the flas.
With hands and feet wrapped in wet pelts, they climbed the scorching siege ladders.
...
Two hours later!
Of the forty thousand strong attacking army of the Silver Alliance, only two-thirds remained.
The corpses beneath the walls piled more than two ters high, emitting the distinctive stench of charred flesh in the air.
All the bodies were burned beyond recognition.
Yesterday, three hours of fierce battle consud 210,000 jin of fish oil, causing fifteen thousand casualties in the Barbarian enemy forces.
Today, in just two hours, with seventy thousand jin of fish oil, over ten thousand enemy casualties were inflicted.
The accuracy and efficiency of fish oil bomb attacks greatly improved!
However...
The anticipated bad news finally arrived.
The fish oil bombs were all used up!
Even though thousands of won in the inner city were still boiling fish oil, it was rely a drop in the bucket.
The mont of true test for the Fla Demon Tribe soldiers has arrived, the mont of true crisis has arrived.
Soon, they will engage in close combat!
...
The battlefield is like a balance scale.
When the Fla Demon Tribe used fish oil bombs, the scale tipped in their favor. But once they ran out, the scale gradually tipped towards the victory of the Silver Alliance troops.
