When the general heard the soldier's words, he was stunned for a moment.
Because his duty is to hold the outer city and resist the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
But he knew very well that if the current situation continued, by the time it was completely light and noon came, the outer city wall would have collapsed completely.
His mission was to hold out in the outer city for at least three days.
That was an order given to him by the Hebrew governor, the highest authority under the supreme ruling king.
The Governor told him that he had to find a way to delay for at least three days so that he could hold out until reinforcements arrived.
But now, let alone three days, the outer city will fall in a few hours.
Even if he had not been captured by Holy Egypt, he would not have been able to return to the inner city.
It's death anyway!
So the general just thought for a short while, and his pupils, which were originally trembling, immediately stopped.
Even my breathing became smoother.
"You're right!"
"The Holy Pharaoh just used the power of the giant snake, which means that he will not be able to use the power of the giant snake again in the short term!"
Seeing that the general seemed to be willing to accept his suggestion, the other soldier widened his eyes with joy and quickly added with trembling lips.
"That's right! General!"
"We actually forced the Holy Pharaoh to use the power of a god... no, a giant beast!"
"They don't have enough troops. If we open the city gates and launch a surprise attack on them..."
Before he could finish his words, the general interrupted him.
Apparently, they seemed to have hit on something.
“That’s right!”
"That will force the Holy Pharaoh to summon the gods again!"
"If Saint Pharaoh chooses to do nothing, he will definitely be captured by us!"
"Our military strength is several times greater than the Holy Pharaoh's troops outside the city!"
"Even if he summons a god, we can choose to attack the god with our magic longbows instead of the catapults!"
"No matter what, the result is beneficial to our empire!"
After hearing the general's words, the surrounding soldiers just echoed him.
"The General is right!"
"It's better than sitting in the city and waiting to die!"
"To be able to kill the gods of Holy Egypt is to weaken the core power of Holy Egypt!"
"Only by weakening the power of Holy Egypt can the Empire have a chance to turn danger into safety!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became. They all gripped their weapons tightly, waiting for their leader to give orders.
As long as the general gave the order, they were willing to fight for their lives with the enemies outside the city.
The great general raised his head and looked at the dilapidated city wall above.
In some places, the huge stones from the catapults had even cut off half of it.
The answer seems obvious. After all, given the current situation, the general does not have much choice.
There isn't even much time left.
It's almost dawn.
"Warriors of the Empire!"
"The time has come to defend the glory of the empire!"
"Are you willing to follow me, rush out of the city, and capture the notorious Holy Pharaoh alive?!"
As soon as the general finished speaking, the soldiers around him raised their weapons high, making noises that were about to tear their throats apart, like fanatical believers.
"Defend the honor and capture the Holy Pharaoh alive!"
"Defend the honor and capture the Holy Pharaoh alive!"
......
On the other side, Nan Tong watched the number of imperial soldiers on the city wall gradually decrease, and only slightly noticed something strange.
Because, in his opinion, these Hebrews should move the location of the magic longbow at this time, or send more soldiers to protect the magic longbow.
However, what he saw was a scene completely opposite to what he had expected. The Hebrew soldiers on the city wall disappeared one after another without a trace.
It's like a retreat.
At this time, the [catapult] moved forward half a centimeter with a "squeaky" sound, and was about to launch the next round of attack.
At this time, Lin Ke was observing the information on the civilization panel in his mind. The wall of Jerusalem had lost more than one-third of its health under the previous attack.
Then he raised his head again and looked at the scene not far away.
Enchanted walls...
It can't be recognized by the civilization panel at all!
Obviously, even if these Hebrews gilded the city walls, even if the gods gave the city walls powerful power, they were nothing but grass in front of the civilization panel.
Then he turned his head and took a look at the catapults that were shining with golden light.
Their attacks on the city walls are simply "real damage"!
That is damage that completely ignores any external defense bonus and can directly hit the core!
Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He was now sure that there was nothing wrong with his decision.
He originally planned to use the [Catapult] in the battle of the Fortress City, but if the [Catapult] showed its power too early, it would be very likely that the [Catapult] would be madly targeted by the enemy when attacking Jerusalem.
It was obvious that the soldiers in Jerusalem had no defense against the attack of the catapults, so Lin Ke could easily inflict heavy damage on those sturdy city walls.
It is worthy of being called a “heavy siege weapon”!
The units on the civilization panel have their own specialties, and there is great restraint between the arms.
The [Catapult] is used specifically to attack city walls and reduce the city's defenses.
