"kill!"

As the urgent charge horn sounded, the soldiers who were walking slowly began to run and shout.

In an instant, the originally silent battlefield suddenly became filled with loud shouts of killing, and truly turned into the battlefield that Gervais imagined!

"Charge up to me. The one who rushes up the city wall first will be rewarded with one gold coin! Killing an enemy will reward you with two silver coins!"

While the soldiers were charging, the little nobles and the captains of the soldiers continued to roar at the top of their lungs.

Promising a large reward before the battle is a common practice for generals in every world, and it is also a very effective and feasible method.

When the soldiers heard the rewards of gold and silver coins, they were all shocked, their charging bodies became faster, and their shouts of killing became louder.

For these ordinary soldiers, apart from death on the battlefield, it is the time to achieve success and fame. As for whether they live or die, it all depends on luck!

"Spread out, don't get together! Spread out a little more!"

The little nobles were like shepherd dogs, charging while constantly correcting the state of the charging team.

The distance of three hundred meters is not that far, but in this technologically backward world, there are almost no weapons that can harm the enemy at three hundred meters.

These charging troops, restrained by the minor nobles and quite powerful, safely advanced to a position about two hundred meters away from the city wall.

But it was at this time that the situation became completely different.

The counterattack from the White Rock City defenders finally arrived.

"Be careful, it's a trebuchet! Spread out more!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Puff puff!

Just as the charging soldiers shouted excitedly and rushed forward, suddenly many black spots appeared in the sky, and these black spots were slowly getting bigger above their heads.

The first ones to react were the little nobles who had already received the notice. After discovering the situation, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs to remind the soldiers.

Although for the title knight, as long as the situation is discovered in advance and with the blessing of fighting spirit, he can barely avoid the attack of these stone bullets.

However, for those ordinary soldiers, whether they can avoid the attack of stone bullets depends on luck and probability.

After the little nobles reminded them for a second or two, the stone bullets as big as bowls finally hit the charging crowd.

These stone bullets, which looked like flowers scattered by a goddess, were fired by a small trebuchet located fifty meters away on the wall of Baiyan City.

Although the shooting distance of these small trebuchets is not far, only about two hundred meters.

However, this kind of shooting of gravel like shotguns to deal with attacking infantry is extremely lethal.

"Ah! My arm!"

"Ah! My leg, my leg is gone!"

Even though the little nobles had previously deliberately dispersed the formations of the infantry during the charge, there would always be some unfortunate ones who were unlucky enough to suffer when such a large number of stone bullets fell.

These unlucky guys were running and didn't realize what was going on. They only felt a coldness in their limbs, and then they realized that their arms or thighs had become pulpy and bleeding.

There are some people who are even more unlucky than these people, that is, those who were directly hit in the torso or head. They didn't even have a chance to scream. They only heard a pop, and the originally intact body or head was smashed like rags.

Penetrated, and then fell to the ground as a dead soul.

"Hurry up and rush over. As long as we rush under the city wall, the trebuchet will not be able to hit us!"

In just a few seconds, dozens of trebuchets on the city wall fired a total of hundreds of stone bullets. Although these stone bullets were fired randomly, at a basic level, they could still kill many charging soldiers.

In addition to the injured soldiers who fell to the ground and could no longer continue fighting, more than 20 soldiers were killed directly.

The stone projectiles of this small trebuchet are different from the stone projectiles of the large siege trebuchet.

The stone bullets of a large trebuchet can be irregularly shaped, but the stone bullets fired by this small trebuchet are polished and appear round.

Even if the round stone bullets did not hit the target the moment they hit the ground, the huge inertia caused the round stone bullets to bounce back again and continue to bounce forward, much like the effect of solid artillery bullets in previous generations.

This is precisely why this small trebuchet fired hundreds of projectiles in one salvo, causing as many as thirty or forty casualties.

After a round of trebuchet attacks, there were no longer only cries of death on the battlefield, but also mixed with many painful wails.

However, there are no medical soldiers in this world, and the comrades at the moment cannot take care of them.

These wounded soldiers who fell to the ground, wailing and rolling, could only struggle helplessly on the ground. Some of the more seriously injured soldiers would die and be relieved within a few minutes.

Some soldiers who are not so seriously injured may need to hold on until the charge team retreats, and then meet kind-hearted comrades who can drag them back.

As for having people organized in the rear camps to come to the rescue, I'm sorry! This world doesn't have this habit!

"Idiot, hurry up and rush forward. The next wave of throws will come soon! If you don't move forward, I will kill you now!"

Why is it said that the battlefield is the best place to test and select soldiers? Because only after witnessing the cruelty on the battlefield and eliminating the fear in the heart can a person display his true combat effectiveness.

At this moment, some recruits saw the miserable condition of their comrades and were too frightened to move any further.

But I thought of my family and didn't dare to run away, so I could only cover my head and huddle on the ground shivering.

After the young nobleman who led the team discovered the situation, although he wanted to kill these cowards with a sword, these people were his subordinates after all, so he could only run over quickly, roared, picked them up, and held them with a long sword.

The sword urged the timid recruit to move forward quickly.

Just as the little noble said, the next wave of trebuchets arrived as promised more than ten seconds later, once again killing many charging soldiers.

After the trebuchet fired projectiles three times and killed nearly a hundred soldiers in total, it was finally no longer a threat to the charging team due to the angle problem.

The charging soldiers had finally crossed the first line of death and rushed to the bank of the moat. At this moment, the moat had been filled with more than twenty passages more than ten meters wide.

But before these soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, the defenders on the city wall had already raised their long bows and fired arrows like raindrops at them.

The arrow feathers streaked through the air and made a whooshing sound, shooting towards them like a reminder.

"Move forward with your shield up and don't stop! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"

Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!

The damage caused by this wave of arrow feathers to the charging team is not as significant as that of the trebuchet.

Only occasionally, individual soldiers fell to the ground and howled miserably because their shields were not held tightly. Most of the arrow feathers were blocked by the wooden shields.

"Longbowmen! Start fighting back!"

As they got closer and closer to the city wall, the attacking team finally had the possibility to fight back.

The little nobles gave orders, and the long archers on the large siege ladder that was more than ten meters high began to shoot at the city wall in front!

This large siege ladder looks more like a tower with wheels. Three sides of the tower are covered with wooden boards, and only the rear side is unblocked.

Viewed from the rear, there are layers of stairs inside this huge tower.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The battle between the attacking and defending sides finally reached a fever pitch. As the siege soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall, whether it was the huge siege stairs or the simple wooden ladders, they were all carried up the city wall with great efforts.

, and then began the most intense and cruel ant siege battle.

A huge wooden plank was put down on several tower-like siege ladders and leaned directly against the wall stacks of the city wall. The armored soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed away, wanting to jump on the city wall to fight for the enemy behind.

Comrades win time.

The soldiers who used simple wooden ladders did not flinch, holding up their big shields and holding their swords in their mouths as they climbed up the city wall with great difficulty.

While the soldiers continued to climb up, hundreds of longbowmen continued to pour arrows towards the city wall more than ten meters away, buying more time for these climbing comrades.

…

"Hello, Lord Gervais! I am Pustar, the captain of the Welton family and the Blizzard Legion!"

"Master Gust asked me to ask you, what are you actually doing at the camp here? Master said it is very dangerous here. If you want to continue watching the battle, you can go to the camp."

Since the battle began, Gervais has been observing the fierce and cruel battle two miles away with a monocular.

But he didn't expect that his strange team would have fallen into the eyes of four count families stationed five hundred meters away.

Everyone in the camp felt baffled by Gervais's strange team. In the end, it was the Lord of the North who saw Gervase's flag and sent someone over to ask for the reason.

"Oh, Captain Pustar! You go back and tell Lord Gust that I thank him for his kindness, but I am not here to watch the battle!"
