Chapter 45 (2/2)
Compared with the number of people on both sides, such casualties can be said to be tragic. After all, the two sides consume real elite veterans. Each of them has at least the strength of a retinue, not a farmer who is caught casually.
According to incomplete statistics, Sean and his army consumed nearly 30000 arrows every day. Even so, only one third of the soldiers who were killed by bows and arrows were killed.On average, thousands of arrows can kill one person. For well-equipped soldiers, the killing power of arrows is quite limited. What's more, when they approach the city wall, they will carry all kinds of shelters.
Even if you know that the effect of bows and arrows is not ideal, it is inevitable that a wave of bows and arrows will cover the city before each attack, and the damage is only the second, mainly to increase the difficulty of the opponent's access to the city wall.
Therefore, even if the storage of arrows in the city is very large, up to one million, there are two school guards attached to the youth army who specialize in the production of various kinds of arrows. Among them, the Andes long bow and heavy arrow is the main one, and the Bastille army's bow, bow and arrow are supplemented.
The offensive and defensive battles on the city walls have fully proved the defects of the Bastille bow. Although its power is stronger than that of the Andes hunting bow, it is still sharp against light armor and leather armor, but not as good as that of heavy armor.
Andes long bow and heavy arrow is powerful, but time is short. Even if there are a large number of existing materials in the inventory, it is too late to convert them into existing combat effectiveness. Before a certain scale is formed, Anders Longbow can not give full play to its greatest advantages.
Sean simply took it as a trump card and took the largest number of Bastille bows.

”I can lead the team myself. Why do you have to take the risk yourself?” The bull Erikson made the final persuasion, ”once the plan is unexpected, the adults are trapped in it, and the whole Bastille will be destroyed, and there will be no chance.”
”This is our last chance. If we fail this time, it doesn't matter whether I can be alone or not.”
Old Bolton was silver plate armour, and pressed the half hand sword that he had followed for half his life. His waist was straight and majestic, as if he had returned to the glorious days of the eastern expedition and the western war. However, his words revealed a peculiar old man's twilight.
”I've been in this city for half my life. When I still own this city, I'm still a noble Burton Bacher. Even if Borg Slav Phelan doesn't like me, he has to be courteous to me. Without this city, I'm just an old dog with no value. Even the guards at the gate of the Duke's castle will not look at me. ”
old Burton took a long breath of sullenness. Instead of speaking to Eriksson, he said to himself: ”interest is the cruelest and most real face in the world. Once there is no interest, the so-called family, friendship and love are illusory. If the benefits brought by Bastille are lost, a large number of people who wish I could die will be ranked first It's not the slaves I used to sell, but my dearest son and my loyal Lord. Isn't that ridiculous? ”
Looking at the nearby Bastille, old Burton felt that it was so far away, just like the twinkling stars in the starry sky. All kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, the cruel reality told him that he was old.
Before the war, he didn't have so many thoughts. He just needed to raise his sword and move forward bravely, because he had nothing to lose and nothing to miss except the armor and the mount under his hip.
Now he is full of emotion, is he wise all his life, all kinds of big waves have come, is it so fall in a small stinky ditch?
Never!
Old Burton roared in his heart and turned his head to make a promise to Erikson of the bull, ”fight with me again. No matter whether you win or lose, you will recover your freedom. You have spent half your life to repay the kindness of that year. That's enough.”
”My Lord.” The bull Erikson's eyes twinkled, and it was difficult to tell whether it was moving or something else, because he couldn't tell it clearly.
If he had heard the same words two weeks ago, he might have been moved to tears and relieved. It was not that he had any other ideas at that time, but that the shackles of the soul were sometimes heavier than the shackles of the body.
But now, when facing his biggest fear again, everything becomes irrelevant - stripping away the surface and looking at the essence, old Burton only used himself from the beginning to the end.
If he really had feelings for himself, he would not have added a so-called charge with him once more. As the old Burton himself said, a meal of grace, he has spent half his life to repay, enough.
Old Bolton didn't wait for Eriksson's reaction, and strided into the dark dark dark secret road.
”Assemble, everyone assemble.” Eriksson of the bull strides forward without hesitation. No matter how many tricks you play, my original intention will not change. This is his principle of life. Once again, I will accompany him to charge, and we will not owe each other.
The siege was in full swing, and the Bastille soldiers came up again like the tide. The momentum and scale were full, but both the enemy and the US were very weak.
There are few arrows on the head of the city, and the people who attack the city are also perfunctory. Many close to the city wall, they are also hiding behind the shelter to kill time. It is almost time for Mingjin to collect the troops.
It is the most tragic thing in life if you rush up at the risk of death, but you end up with gold.
In the first three nights, there were a lot of such unlucky ghosts who were finally beaten to death by people living in the city. Naturally, those who survived learned to be smart.On the other hand, smart people survive.
