Black Iron Crown

Chapter 715: Beaten up

"Maintain good order! Don't be afraid! We have walls! The enemy has no advantage!" Deron drew out his sword and shouted loudly.

"Father is with us, we are with you! Whoever fights and the dead will return to the Father!" Amon also shouted.

Their shouts are always useful. While the Templars have a high status, they also lead by example, abide by the commandments and are powerful. With them, the soldiers' hearts are finally settled.

The news that the enemy was about to attack the city spread throughout the fortress almost instantly, and the kings and lords who were resting in each room gathered in the fortress lobby to discuss countermeasures.

"Support the city wall immediately, we must stick to it!"

Everyone reached a consensus, that is, they must fight Rainer to the end and immediately support the city wall to let the enemy retreat.

As a result, groups of soldiers gathered towards the city head like flowing water.

More than 8,000 fighters have been assembled on the city wall. After all, the Lugoin Fortress is a large castle, and it needs 8,000 talents to be able to fully defend.

Riding a tall war horse, Leiner looked at the brave man in front of the army in the array. Hundreds of soldiers were standing next to the eighty trebuchets, ready to send stones against the brave man.

Jing Lan is also ready to be in place, and the Golden Lion Guard has been hidden in the Tibetan soldiers' cave below Jing Lan, ready to forcibly board and fight with the enemy for a while.

The archers and crossbowmen are sitting on the top platform of Jinglan. After a while, they will rely on the height of Jinglan to shoot at the enemy, suppressing the defending archers, so that their comrades can go smoothly. Climb the city wall.

At this time, the protruding horse face on the city wall was already crowded with archers. If it weren't for the fortress to store a lot of war materials, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have many arrows for combat.

In addition, there are many archers on the arrow tower, just waiting for the beginning of the battle to shoot the enemy with their bows and arrows.

The rest of the warriors are holding swords, shields and spears, huddling behind the battlements, preparing to fight hand-to-hand with the upcoming enemy.

The Templar knights and the trainee knights wore well-equipped armor, bent over and shuttled back and forth among the warriors.

"Don't be afraid! We are by your side!"

"It's okay! Even if it is dead, your soul will return to the Father's side!"

"We will fight together!"

With the encouragement of these Templars, the soldiers' fears were finally reduced a lot.

In addition to these ordinary soldiers, there are many Templar sergeants on the wall. They are the elites who fought head-on with Rainer's direct troops for a long time without losing the wind.

Lena looked at the densely packed heads of people on the top of the city, squinted his eyes, and said, "The trebuchet fires ten rounds!"

After his order was given, the trebuchet immediately began to operate. The soldiers put the stone on the cantilever with great effort. After some manipulation, eighty stones, which were several times larger than the human head, flew into the city. head.

But unfortunately, although these trebuchets have excellent throwing ability, their accuracy is not artificially controllable. They only have a rough strike range, so the damage they cause will not be very large.

Sure enough, more than a dozen of the 80 large rocks launched flew over the city head and fell into the fortress. I don't know what was hit.

In addition, thirty or forty pieces landed directly on the plane of the city wall, smashed some not too deep pits and then fell to the ground.

In the end, the stones that successfully hit the battlements were only a dozen pieces.

However, these dozen or so rocks have caused considerable casualties to the enemy. Basically, every big stone that falls on the ground will cause the direct death of two or three people. If it bounces, it will also cause injuries.

The deaths of the few people who were directly hit were naturally very miserable. Some parts were like mud, and they were even directly interrupted. They wailed miserably, and the strong smell of blood and emotions called fear spread throughout the city in an instant. head.

"Don't be afraid! Lower your body! Lower your body!"

The Templars leaned against the battlements, shouting to the soldiers around them.

It has to be said that these Templar knights indeed played a role in setting the sea god's needle, and they encouraged the morale of the soldiers more than their lord.

The continuous roar of the trebuchet sent the stones onto the city wall.

Of course, in fact, after ten rounds of shooting, there were very few casualties, and it seemed that two to three hundred people were killed.

The accuracy of the trebuchet is really bad, and its impact on morale is far greater than its actual lethality.

After ten rounds of trebuchet strikes, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall suffered a huge blow. Seeing that their comrades were smashed into flesh by the rocks falling from the sky in front of them, such a sense of fear and The oppression of the spirit is not comparable to Arrow Rain.

"Jing Lan advances one hundred meters! The catapult continues to launch!" Rainer sneered at the city wall in front of him. The real horrible attack has not yet begun!

Under the impetus of the soldiers, Jing Lan moved forward for a hundred meters, and the archers and crossbowmen on Jing Lan had already started shooting for nearly half an hour, but still failed to cause much damage to the enemy.

So Rainer ordered: "The ladder is ready, and the Golden Lion Guard is ready to attack the city hair in five minutes!"

Soon, the trebuchet stopped firing stones, and Jinglan advanced further, with a sour squeaking sound, and came to a place about 15 meters away from the city wall. The wooden planks on Jinglan were placed on the head of the city. above.

At the same time, a large number of infantry with a ladder, holding shields and waiting for Rainer's offensive order.

At this time, the confrontation between the archers of the two sides had begun. The archers on the horse madly shot arrows toward the well, and the crossbowmen of Lena poured out their arrows in the same way.

The advantage of the archers under Rainer's command has actually been weakened a lot. The distance of 15 meters is not enough to show their range advantage and power advantage. Basically, as long as the distance is a bow and arrow, the enemy can be shot.

However, the accuracy of the archers on the city wall was obviously not as good as that of Lena's crossbowmen. Morale and training were not at the same level. Therefore, in just over a minute, they were suppressed by Lena's crossbowmen.

"Siege!" Reiner gave an order ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The soldiers immediately rushed towards the wall of Lugoin Fortress with the ladder on their shoulders.

Some archers in the defending army turned their targets to the infantry carrying the ladder, but the few arrows they shot did not cause much damage to the imperial soldiers.

While the infantry was advancing, the assault vehicle was advancing slowly. The Golden Lion Guards got up from the inside of the well, carrying shields and a one-handed battle axe, and climbed the ladder inside the well to the top plank.

Although they were slow in their movements, they were very powerful, and with heavy strides, they rushed forward toward the city wall in front of them.

"Kill them all!"

The tall Golden Lion Guards did not run slowly. They rushed to the front of the city wall, pushed away the pierced spear with their shields, and slashed with one-handed battle axe among the crowd, and two or three enemy troops fell to the ground.

He jumped forward and jumped onto the wall, waving his battle axe like a crazy beast, clearing space for his comrades in the back.
