【1142】Siege

Laxtack City is an irregular polygon as a whole.

Therefore, although the battle plan formulated was to attack from all sides, the direction of the attack was not square, east, west, south, and north, but mainly attacked in the west. Yasuo went around the northeast corner, Raast was southwest, and Sindra was north.

What, why does it seem like there is no one in the south and east?

Because the city of Laxtak is located on a peninsula in the lake, the lake water is simply in the east, and the terrain in the south is relatively narrow and long, and it is impossible to launch an offensive. Only in the southwest corner is a relatively open and flat place that can be used as a battlefield.

On the four battlefields, except for the western position of the base camp, the other three areas for the coalition forces as offensive positions were limited. In order to avoid being attacked by defenders on the city wall before arriving at the position, the four coalition forces quickly set out before dawn.

………………………………………

The Northeast Front Army, which Yasuo was responsible for, had the longest distance, so he was the first to set out.

Marching in the dark night is not an easy thing - in order to avoid being attacked by soldiers on the city, the marching team should be as far away from the city wall as possible, but in Laxtak, built on the shore of the lake, staying away from the city wall means being close to the lake shore.

It was early spring, and the lake shore was deep and shallow. The entire Northeast Front Army formed a long snake formation and moved forward carefully.

The captains of each team were assigned to the more critical lake shore to prevent soldiers from falling into the lake in a daze. They were like nailing to the railings by the lake, limiting the direction of the long snake's movement.

But even so, many unlucky guys stepped onto the lakeside.

At the edge of Lake Laxtak, the lake water is not deep, and one step into it can only be beyond the calf.

However, the lake water is now artificially melted by the defenders in Laxtak City - although I don't know what to use, the ice cap in the center of the lake is still intact, and only the lake water near the lake shore can be seen with a little melting - so when you step down and pull out your feet, a layer of ice will soon form on your calf.

Even the Freljords, who have adapted to the severe cold weather, are a little unbearable when facing this situation.

But in order to keep quiet, everyone in this team was ordered to hold wooden sticks in their mouths and absolutely forbidden to speak. These already irritable warriors could not even curse a few words. They could only breathe a few breaths in anger and then continue to bury their heads and move forward.

The warriors were holding on to the orders and gritting their teeth, but their morale was inevitably declining.

Even though most of the Zhanmen had seen Yasuo's power and were convinced by him, without Zhan's mother, he would have no backbone. This is inevitable.

Yasuo was very clear about the status of the coalition forces, but he didn't have time to take care of morale issues. As the warriors advanced in the dark, Yasuo was staring at the city wall carefully.

The city wall was pitch black. Although there were fires jumping behind several squadrons, the light brought by the torches in the dark night was not enough to discover the actions of soldiers from the distance on the city wall.

Theoretically, this kind of march in the dark night will not be discovered.

But... the people in the city are not fools.

The army first appeared in the west of Laxtack's city. When siege, they either attacked from all sides or broke through. Yasuo thought that if he was Laxtack's commander, he would at least monitor the situation outside the city in real time, and at least find out whether there were any traces of troops transfer.

After all, the Lake Peninsula where Laxtak City is located is not large.

However, by the time most of the teams had crossed the first long beach in the city, Yasuo had not encountered any trouble.

It seems that the city didn't think about any interference at all.

Didn’t it be that the coalition forces would open up multiple positions?

No, it's not so stupid.

Just when Yasuo was shocked and confused, a low shout came from the front of the long snake formation in the darkness.

Obviously, some wardens spit out the wooden stick in their mouths, and the only possibility of this situation is that they encountered an enemy.

While urging the team to continue moving forward, Yasuo quickly arrived at the scene. Sure enough, the defenders in the city simply established a temporary position in the northeast direction where the attack was available.

The camp here looks extremely simple and built on the shore of the lake, and has almost no defense. The defenders of Laxtak have no hope of it having defense. The only meaning of this village is reconnaissance.

When Yasuo arrived, the small village had been taken down by the vanguard of the coalition forces with one charge. However, before taking the village, the defenders here still lit a bonfire.

Obviously, there was news that someone had gone around the northeast corner of the city.

Realizing this, Yasuo immediately looked towards the direction of the city gate - the northeast gate of Laxtak City, not far from this small camp.

But unlike Yasuo imagined, no one appeared near the city gate. Until the warriors gathered again and made a defense to rush out of the city gate, the other side of the city gate was also quiet and quiet.

"So cunning, bastard!"

Seeing the city gate silently, Yasuo finally realized that something was wrong. While asking the vanguard troops to stabilize their positions, he quickly turned around and walked back along the long snake formation.

Almost as he turned around, ropes finally hung down on the walls north of Laxtak City, and many defenders walked down the ropes and rushed straight to the long snake formation on the shore of the lake.

After these soldiers came down to the city wall, they took the ropes directly on the city. Obviously, they were real dead soldiers and had no intention of going back!

The sudden attacks of the dead soldiers inevitably caused the long snake formation walking along the coast to fall into chaos. Although their number was not too large, in the dark night, as long as it caused damage, the reinforcements would soon hurt each other due to distrust.

Once the killing begins, it is difficult to stop. The soldiers in the dark will not know whether the people around them are enemies or friends. As a result, they will inevitably attack each other without distinction in order to survive.

The city only needs to pay the price of a small suicide squad to achieve huge results.

Well, at least that's what their commander thinks.

Unfortunately, the chaos had just begun, Yasuo arrived at the scene. Amid the shouts of killing, he took out a gun from his arms and raised it high.

Whoosh-bang!

A Hex flare (which can also be called phosphorescence mortar shells considering the caliber) flew into the air and then exploded in mid-air, illuminating the area within a radius of dozens of meters very brightly.

The casters who were ready to fight the spell at the top of the city immediately carried out a spell counter-attack, but unfortunately, the counter-attack did not have any effect - these confused spellcasters could only watch the death squad members being quickly divided and surrounded and eliminated under the action of the Hex flares.
