Pedro, outside this city named after Wilfred's family name, the Hebrew and Marcelo armies have arrived at the city. A dark mass of soldiers is three hundred miles away from the east gate of Pedro City.
They were stationed in a certain place, and the camp made up of stretching tents was surrounded by a circle of wooden horses and an observation tower built before death. This was all to prevent Wilfred from sending cavalry to attack the camp at night and burn supplies or siege equipment.
Such things happen.
Wilfred, who had a thick gray beard, stood on the city wall, using a monocular telescope to observe the countless family flags hanging not far away, as well as the entire area on the north side of the camp.
The exact same flag, where is the location of the Yangyan Regiment.
Wilfred's face was gloomy. When he heard that Francisco had sent troops to attack after he was standing dead, he had actually thought of what might happen. After all, the second prince would definitely not allow a resistance to appear not far from the royal city.
power.
But greed blinded his eyes. He originally thought that when the second prince came back to deal with this place, he would have captured Francisco's territory, and then formed an alliance with Roderite under the banner of the sixth prince. They might not be able to make an alliance with him.
The second prince could not fight against them with all his strength.
At that time, he may become Marquis Wilfred, or even Duke Wilfred! His family will also become one of the most powerful families in Gaoling, but unfortunately, the past of Marquis Afaria
The early defeat disrupted everything. Before he could capture the Marquis Territory and form an alliance with Ronan to fight against the pressure of the second prince, Hebrews came with the army.
Moreover, he never expected that Hebrew would not follow common sense and deal with him first instead of dealing with the Sixth Prince who was the greatest threat.
The army outside the city has been assembled. The 5,000 troops brought by Hebrews, plus half of the militia from Tana, there are about 3,000 people. The soldiers under Hebrews are already Will.
Fred's strength was about three times, and this did not include the 2,000 men left behind in the Marquis of Tana.
The giant catapult and siege ladder were slowly pushed out. The soldiers had already begun to load the catapult. Stones with a diameter of half a meter were put into the catapult's launcher, and the siege ladder was slowly pushed out.
It was pushed towards the city wall. At the bottom of the siege ladder, a piece was extended from above the wheels. The thick wooden board above the head effectively protected the soldiers pushing the cart from being killed by arrows from above.
"Fire up!" Seeing that the enemy had begun to attack, Wilfred raised his hand and shouted an order.
The braziers placed at regular intervals were immediately ignited, and the archers placed the tips of their arrows wrapped in oilcloth into the braziers and lit them.
"Fire the arrow!" Wilfred waved the long sword forward, and the dense rain of fire was immediately shot into the sky, and then began to fall downwards after tracing a beautiful arc.
"Clang, clang, clang!" There was a dense sound of arrows shooting into the wood. The soldiers charging forward carrying the ladder fell to pieces, but the soldiers under the siege ladder were basically uninjured, and the siege ladder was painted black.
The paint is obviously not for good looks. A rocket falling on a siege ladder cannot ignite a siege ladder like ordinary wood.
"Anchor Crossbow!" Seeing that the fire attack was useless, Aldred quickly continued to shout.
Several huge machines placed at the relatively wide watchtowers of the city wall immediately started moving. The soldiers controlled the huge anchor crossbows and aimed them at the siege ladder. Then the soldiers on the side immediately turned off the engines, and a huge crossbow belt
The thick rope connected behind hit the siege ladder and got deeply stuck inside.
The soldiers at the bottom of the siege ladder didn't know what was happening, and they continued to push the siege ladder forward. After the arrow of the anchor crossbow got stuck in the attack ladder, the soldiers controlling the anchor crossbow immediately turned the mechanism with all their strength.
Let the rope holding the crossbow arrow continue to pull back, and then tighten it tightly.
"1!2!1!2!" The soldiers guarding the city pulled the rope back hard. From time to time, some people were hit by stray arrows and fell down, but other soldiers would soon make up for it.
The rope was pulled back bit by bit by the soldiers, and the siege ladder that was stuck by the crossbow was also pulled up and tilted. The soldiers below the siege ladder suddenly panicked when they saw the siege ladder tilting, and many people even forgot
After exerting force, some of them ran out directly.
Without their support, the siege ladder tilted faster, and soon with a "Boom!", the heavy siege ladder was pulled to the ground and shattered, causing many unlucky people to fall into pieces.
Was smashed to death.
Seeing the siege ladder being pulled down, Hebrews and Marcelo, who were commanding not far away, frowned. Then Marcelo shouted to the adjutant beside him:
"Let those catapults take care of the anchor crossbows and tell them that if they are not accurate and they are not rendered useless by the time the soldiers land on the city, I will cut off their heads and use them as chamber pots!"
"Yes, commander!" The adjutant immediately ran to the catapult position.
Subsequently, those anchor crossbows really received the attention of the catapults. Although the accuracy of the catapults could not guarantee that they could destroy those anchor crossbows, it also successfully prevented the soldiers from successfully controlling the anchor crossbows to deal with the siege ladder.
"Bang!" As the heavy suspension bridge of the siege ladder fell on the city wall, it indicated that the city's most critical moment had arrived.
"Ah!!!" The roaring soldiers poured out from the siege ladder, holding shields and weapons and rushing towards the city wall along the suspension bridge. The siege ladder obviously also shared the pressure of the soldiers who used ladders to climb the city from other directions.
Soon, most of the city walls were in competition with each other.
"Ha!" Wilfred slashed an overcoming soldier with his sword, then touched the blood on his face, his expression was pessimistic. He knew that unless a miracle happened, he would be able to repel the attack.
, and I can’t hold on for much longer.
"Hold! Don't let them take advantage of the position!" Wilfred roared loudly while slashing the enemies around him. Although he was not young anymore, he was still a famous swordsman in the kingdom back then.
It is quite possible to deal with these ordinary soldiers with the help of others.
After nearly an hour of fighting, the siege force receded like a tide. Wilfred was breathing heavily, and blood was dripping from the top of his right arm. This was the result of a man who had just been attacked by someone who should be the Yangyan group.
The mercenary guy was injured with an armor-piercing awl.
After treating the wound and returning to the house, Wilfred directly called his most trusted confidant.
"Pedro can't hold on anymore. If I stay here, I will die. I will pack up my gifts, take my family and guards out of the city through the secret passage tomorrow. If there are signs of attack on the other side tomorrow, you will open the city gate and surrender. I understand."
Huh? The leader on the opposite side is Hebra. He is a sworn knight and will not harm you!"
