While Viscount Kevin was nervous, the reinforcements from the South County Commander hadn't arrived yet.
On the contrary, in the early morning of the next day, in the common wilderness in the north, patches of gray mist rose up. At the same time, under the gray mist that was almost showing off its might and claws, many people could be seen vaguely.
Like a long arrogant dragon, slowly approaching Masburg.
"coming!"
Viscount Kevin's voice trembled.
He swallowed, forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart, waved and shouted: "Attention everyone, pull up the drawbridge and city gate, all soldiers walk up the city wall, archers go up the tower, speed, speed!"
"Yes!" A neat voice sounded in Masburg.
A large number of figures are shaking.
Soldiers with crossbows and bows soon appeared on the towers and walls.
These are soldiers trained by the Kevin family since childhood. They are loyal and trustworthy. After a long period of military training, they are also good at shooting and close combat. They are considered an elite group.
And in terms of combat ability, it is slightly stronger than the regular infantry in the North County Territory!
This is Viscount Kevin's confidence.
Unfortunately.
The number of people is really too small.
There are no more than 500 elite troops stationed in Masburg.
The others are a group of militiamen gathered in advance in the surrounding villages.
Even those doing chores below are a group of armed peasants who came to the castle wearing thicker clothes, with a pitchfork on their backs or a sickle on their waists. Whether they are strong or not is hard to say, but they look like they want to kill people now That is impossible.
He didn't even have a decent leather armor, so he probably would have been killed as cannon fodder on the battlefield!
And it is true.
Regardless of the fact that these armed farmers number more than 3,000.
They are all young and middle-aged, but they have not received orthodox military training, and they can't do much except fight.
The field is the most suitable for them. It is much easier to serve those crops than to go to the battlefield, especially on the battlefield of harvesting death, some people have just stepped onto the bloody battlefield, and their legs are so scared that they can’t move. road.
In comparison, the more than 1,000 recruited militiamen are not bad, at least they have received military education.
It is considered to be trained by the castle infantry during the slack season.
But only the most basic spear stab.
That's enough.
Forming an array on the city wall can completely protect the safety of a section of the city wall.
What's more, they all wore leather armor made of cowhide. Although it was inferior to chain mail in terms of defense, it could still resist general slashing. Be stronger!
At least the chain mail is facing the arrow, because of the iron ring, it is vulnerable to more serious secondary damage.
"enough!"
Viscount Kevin beat himself on the head.
He didn't understand what he was thinking, but looking at the formation that had been formed in the distance below, his heart trembled even more, and his breathing became extremely heavy: "What are these people going to do!"
In the distance, the noble coalition forces began to set up camp, and a large number of tents rose to meet the sun.
Logically, an attack should be launched.
Even if you don't launch an attack, it's better to prepare a little bit.
But those coalition forces of nobles actually made the appearance of preparing for a long-term confrontation.
It really made Viscount Kevin puzzled, which made his plan to take advantage of the castle to take advantage of the castle and lose its due effect.
The opposite itself is a trek.
Now that I'm ready to take a break, I'm sure I'll come back with enough morale.
If that time comes, it will probably be an extremely difficult battle, which will be unfavorable to him.
Although defending the city has a natural advantage, Viscount Kevin actually doesn't have much confidence in his slightly weaker troops, resisting the troops that have already accommodated the elite of the North County.
Although his Masburg has the mission of monitoring the North County leader to control the checkpoint here.
But it is definitely not a fortress against the army of the North County leader.
6 meters high and 2 meters wide city wall
And the 13-meter-high main body of the castle.
With such a medium-sized castle, the elite defenders are seriously insufficient.
In addition, the reserve of external materials is low, and it is impossible to stick to it for a long time, and it is not even known when the reinforcements will arrive.
Thinking about this, Viscount Kevin felt that his head was about to explode. After all, the current situation was completely unsolvable for him, especially the most important thing, the great knight under him was only 2 people.
And he swears that there must be more than 5 great knights among the noble coalition forces below!
They are nobles who understand that.
Who doesn't know how many great knights he has under his command that have not been reported
This is called background!
That's when it works.
But it's embarrassing. In the current situation, his background seems to be useless.
Because even those two subordinates who are great knights, seeing the more than 10,000 infantry and 3,000+ light and heavy cavalry outside, have already sent a message to their subordinates that they must not go out of the city to fight in the field!
Just looking at it destroyed the mind of the field battle.
Confidence is shattered.
There is no way, the gap between the two troops is too great.
Viscount Kevin did not expect that the coalition army of nobles from the North County who were going to attack the Jianshi Pass would be dealt with in two or three hits, and instead became the backbone of the attack on the South County. It seemed like a joke.
It's no wonder that even the nobles in Nanjun were still dazed.
They really don't know what happened.
The disadvantages of the aristocracy appeared.
Without knowing what happened, they knew that Masburg was under absolute military pressure, but they were still arguing with each other, refusing to let the other party handle the matter.
After all, as long as the Nanjun leader is not severely injured, their interests will not be damaged.
And in this wrangling.
The pressure on Masburg was mounting.
Because at noon, the aristocratic coalition forces who had already rested began to act while shouting.
Even the siege equipment provided by the Wayne family began to be assembled. Catapults with long arms and various ballistas were placed outside the city walls.
It looked like they were going to forcibly attack the city.
And it is true.
At 1 p.m., trebuchets and catapults creaked.
With the sound of an order, the heavy round stone bullets crossed a beautiful arc, and hit the stone walls heavily. With the sound of clanging, the cracked stones scattered, and announced the start of the siege battle. start.
More than 10,000 noble coalition forces also launched a plan to forcibly attack the northern city gate.
Those catapults were also whistling towards the city gate and smashing stone bullets.
The scene is extremely critical.
Even Viscount Kevin didn't expect that the opponent didn't even feint, and started the general attack directly!
For this reason, he laughed like crazy: "What the hell is that Baron Kant thinking, just attacking directly, do these guys know what siege is? Are they still playing like this?" But his mental pressure, However, as the general offensive began, it gradually increased to the point where it could not be supported.
The situation is too dangerous!
