Archduke Victoria in armor stood on the top of the castle, watching the densely packed 50,000 enemy troops that filled the plain in front of her, cold sweat dripping down her forehead silently. Although he is very confident that this fortress can last for at least half a year, the 50,000 enemy troops are twice as many as him. It still made the Grand Duke a little uneasy.
All over the armored crowd is a large patch of flags of various heraldry. As the flag with the bear's head painted on it swayed, the 50,000 men and horses that covered the sky gradually stopped, and stopped only three miles away from the fortress. Vaguely visible, King Philip of the Kingdom of Malta and King Lex of Aixinz lined up. Philip shook the black and white beard of his chin, and looked at the towering fortress in front of him. The eyes looked up and down these enemies who were about to be attacked by them. .
The purple-haired Lex stepped forward on his own, looked at the 20-meter-high city wall, and whispered with some expectation: "It's getting late. Just give Victoria a greeting. "Philip nodded in agreement. The two looked at each other, and suddenly both raised their hands and waved them down! When the flag-bearer beside him saw the order, he waved the flag immediately, and the sea-like army immediately dispersed. Some people dressed in commoner clothes like militiamen pushed a large number of carriages to the front. Immediately, the wooden slats and ropes of various shapes were removed from the carriage. Then very skilled start to assemble and set up. Seeing this scene, the clones and the soldiers standing at the head of the city immediately looked a little ugly. This is clearly a large catapult!
In a short time, a huge catapult like a stone house was built with a height of seven meters. Displayed in front of the army, it is as neat as a row of stone statues. The seven-meter catapult is already the tallest and largest model. And this type of catapult is too heavy and requires a huge projection space, so it cannot be assembled on the city wall at all. On the contrary, the siege party can use this catapult to gain an advantage.
Looking at at least fifty giant catapults, the soldiers on the city wall watched nervously. Invariably, he erected a shield in front of him. to relieve your anxiety. As the sun on the edge of the castle gradually sank, the dim light was cast on the battlefield, and there was only an incomprehensible cry from the opposite side. A large number of militiamen in four or five piles carried huge stones and put them on the sack behind the catapult. The beginning of the war is the waving of the flag in the hand of the flag bearer. After the militiamen let go of the wrench, the fifty giant catapults immediately shook the huge wooden poles, threw terrifying stones, and flew straight towards the fortress!
"Dodge!" Looking at the gradually enlarged stone in mid-air, including the clone, all the commanders immediately shouted in unison. The soldiers bowed down very decisively and hid behind the wall stacks in an attempt to resist the attack of the stones, but under the impact of the rocks as large as a person, their armor and wall stacks seemed very weak.
"Boom boom boom!" A stone block bombarded the city wall, stirring up a large piece of gravel. There was even a slight crack in the city wall. What's more, the stones crossed the city wall and rolled over the uneven stone surface. It smashed the walls and engulfed the five or six soldiers with spears who were hiding behind them in the shadow of the stones. They didn't even scream. Only the blood of the armor fragments was left on the city wall. , The stone with the corpse crossed the city wall, rolled down to the stone road behind, slammed into a house, smashed the furniture and the wall together, and stopped in the ruins. "Ah!! Help!" "Ah!"
Short bursts of screams came one after another, and the archers waiting on the streets and rooftops and the soldiers on the city walls were indiscriminately smashed into flesh by stones. Or crush the whole house! There was smoke everywhere. Soldiers are everywhere calling for help! Very quickly, some veterans immediately cooperated with several people to pick up the soldiers who were not smashed to death and lay in a pool of blood, and quickly ran to the nearest priest gathering place to treat these priests. The original blue-gray city wall is now decorated with red paintbrushes by naughty children.
Some good friends who were talking about the future just now looked dull at the place where their former friends were, the blood stains were dazed! Fear, a fear of life at stake, hangs over these recruits. But they didn't say anything, because this was something they had already realized. Every time they came to the fortress, they imagined death and war. Imagine his cruelty and despair. But when the war does come. But unexpectedly direct and cold. Catch them off guard.
However, war never waits for anyone. Just when these soldiers fell silent in the last wave of attacks, the enemy militiamen pulled the wooden poles back with the wheel again, and placed huge stones on them. Accompanied by the sound of the wooden poles turning and the sunset gradually sinking in the sky, another piece of stone rushed towards the city wall with the cry of death! Boom! Another large piece of rubble shot out, and a puff of smoke rose from the city wall. At this moment, Marquis Carmon, who was in command of the front, walked up to the city gate in armor, pulled out his saber, and shouted angrily: "The crossbow is in place, shoot up!"
The soldiers who received the order immediately got busy, pulling the crossbows on the city towers one after another, and adjusting the direction to the sky. , One by one, the soldiers were ready, eagerly and full of killing intent, all looked at the city gate, the Marquis of Carmon, who was like the god of war. "Don't hesitate! Launch! Show these bastards the power of Kasmi!"
As Marquis Carmon snorted and pointed the saber in his hand at the catapult opposite, the soldiers who had been beaten twice immediately let go of the revolving wheel full of anger. The long bowstring on the bed crossbow was immediately pushed, and each of the crossbow arrows was immediately thrown into the sky by the huge force. Like a giant hand, the group of crossbow arrows in mid-air went straight down and dived towards the catapults in front of the array!
Boom boom boom! The crossbow arrow with a huge impact hit the catapult fiercely. The catapult, which was originally indestructible, was very weak and weak when it was hit by such an attack, and was immediately broken and smashed by the crossbow arrow! "Back off! That's it for today."
The five catapults were smashed by the opponent's round of crossbow arrow attacks, and Philip, whose face was sinking like water, immediately gave the order. Lex, who was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, couldn't help chuckling: "It seems that Dovilia has pulled a game back." "Don't worry, the siege will not stop in a few months. This is just the beginning. , they will be silent in this short-lived joy of victory, and then meet the ruthless defeat." Philip dropped a cruel word, and Lex and Lex gradually retreated with a large number of troops. Camp ten miles away.
The opponent retreated, which was a great joy for all the soldiers! Means, they hold the first round! Everyone rejoiced and laughed eagerly at each other to vent the fears in their hearts. However, Marquis Carmon, who was sitting on guard, understood very well that the real war had just begun.
