Of course, Amin's actions were seen by everyone in Lundinburg. First, Viscount Cliff looked in disbelief. With the strength of Lundinburg and hundreds of carefully trained soldiers, even if he came
With thousands of people, Viscount Cliff has the confidence to defend the castle before supplies are exhausted.
Now Amin dared to attack Lundin with only 500 men. Looking at this posture, he attacked the castle directly without even catching the farmers filling the moat. How many lives can be sacrificed?
"Hahaha, this kid doesn't know how to fight, right?"
Viscount Cliff was stunned for a moment on the castle, and then laughed out loud, not only laughing at A Ming's stupid behavior, but also laughing at his own inexplicable nervousness just now, venting his suppressed emotions at once.
Seeing Viscount Cliff laughing, several officers around him also laughed.
"Sir Viscount, isn't it normal for people in the Newman family not to know how to fight? Earl Newman is a businessman. He only cares about how to make a few gold nuggets every day. How can he know how to fight? As his son, Amin is afraid that
It’s also a merchant’s habit, thinking that we can win if there are more people than us.”
There was some sarcasm in the officer's words, and Viscount Cliff also felt that there was no problem. Among the nobles on the Western Plains, apart from the new followers of the Cult of God, how many of them were specializing in fighting? Amin's words were completely unacceptable.
Reasonable command confirmed his inner thoughts.
However, although they looked down upon A Ming's poor fighting skills, they still fought as they should. They turned around and ordered the officers on the city wall:
"The soldiers coming up from the Newman family are also elites wearing armor. Don't take it lightly. Let the crossbowmen and the crossbows on the arrow tower be ready. Don't let them cross the moat easily!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
On the other side, A Ming actually felt a beat in his heart when he saw the soldiers waiting on the city wall. Although he was a ruthless man, it was his first time to fight a serious battle. Although his soldiers were well trained, they lacked actual combat experience.
The most we can do here is to beat gangsters to maintain law and order.
The biggest battle they fought recently was just the attack on Fort Newman, which was more like a garden than a castle. To say how much combat experience they had, it was actually at the level of having just seen blood. With the Cliff family
The soldiers are half-assed at best.
But there is an essential difference between one side having a strong castle to defend and the other to attack. At this time, the soldiers on Amin's side could carry simple siege tools close to the city wall, which was considered a sign of serious military discipline.
Although A Ming is not a fool, his military quality is indeed not that high. There are not so many born military gods, and most of them still have to hone themselves slowly.
After giving the order to attack, Amin began to glance at Natalis beside him from time to time. It was not because of Natalis's beauty. Although Natalis was indeed beautiful in terms of appearance, her body was thick with
Her cold aura makes most people who are close to her not think anything wrong, and given their identities, Amin doesn't dare to have any thoughts about Natalis.
Now he just wants to see how much Master Richard can do against the super master sent to him. Although he is not a battlefield veteran, he also knows that just the hundreds of soldiers under him who rushed forward,
Without external help, it would be difficult to climb the city wall, let alone destroy the city.
He didn't want to leave Master Richard to him and mess up the matter as soon as he came. At this time, A Ming had already made a decision in his heart. If there was no breakthrough with all the troops, he would quickly pull them back and fight steadily.
Just surround Lundinburg and wait for reinforcements to be transferred from Claes City.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"ah!"
"Raise your shield!"
During the short period of time when Amin was struggling, the soldiers attacking the city had entered the attack range of the Lundinburg archers. The sharp arrows on the city wall poured down unceremoniously, and a dozen unlucky men fell immediately.
Egg.
Fortunately, the equipment of the attacking troops is pretty good, and they are basically covered with iron armor. Although the equipment is not as sophisticated as that of the Northern Dragon Army, the protection against arrows is pretty good. Hundreds of arrows fell down,
It caused a small commotion and did not cause any major casualties.
Under the organization of the officers, they quickly raised their shields to stabilize their position and continued to move in the direction of Lundinburg.
"Big crossbow!"
"Prepare!"
However, the arrows were just an appetizer. Seeing that several rounds of arrow rain were not effective, the defenders on the city wall quickly used the crossbows placed on the castle.
These bed crossbows have obvious shortcomings. Not only are they fixed in position, they are also very troublesome to operate. It requires more than a dozen warriors to work together to string them together, so they can only be used in defensive battles.
However, the power of these crossbows is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary arrows. After the low "buzzing" string sounded, several giant arrows flew towards the advancing attacking army, and half of them accurately landed on Amin's army.
in the array.
"boom!"
"ah!"
In the face of heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, sophisticated armor and large shields could hardly play any defensive role. The soldiers in the front row holding up the large shields collapsed directly to the ground, and both hands holding the shields were fractured.
And he was already lucky, as he was just rubbed by Ju Ya, and his life was not in danger except for broken hands. The few soldiers following him were not so lucky.
The giant arrows tore apart the armor on their bodies like tearing paper, and then penetrated directly from the body, and shot at the soldiers behind them. One giant arrow shot at least two or three times before stopping, and several arrows were shot into the formation.
The arrows directly caused more than ten casualties.
"Hold on!"
"Hold on!"
"Those who retreat will die!"
"Lord A Ming has never treated you badly!"
"Think of your families!"
Coupled with the damage caused by the crossbows caused by the arrows falling on the city, the casualties of the attacking troops were already close to 10% as soon as they reached the moat. The team inevitably hesitated a little. Even if they were inexperienced at this time, these soldiers
After thinking about it, under the constant attacks from the defenders on the city, how difficult it would be to cross the river and then attack the castle.
But Amin may be weak in commanding and fighting skills, but his military discipline is definitely not bad. Similar to the military system in the North, the families of these soldiers from subordinate farms are under Amin's control. In peacetime, because of their
As a soldier, there are many preferential treatment, but if any soldier dares to escape in violation of military discipline, not only will he be executed immediately by the supervising team, but the life of his family will immediately fall from heaven to hell.
After the officer shouted a reminder, these soldiers also realized that they had enjoyed a lot of benefits from following A Ming on weekdays, but now they had to risk their lives.
"Quick, build the bridge!"
"Rush over!"
After slightly dispersing the formation, some wooden strips that had been prepared were put together to form a simple bridge, forming several channels for crossing the river. Although Lundinburg has a moat, it is only a small castle after all, and the Cliff family does not have one.
With all the financial and material resources and the construction of a moat that was too wide, A Ming's soldiers quickly broke through this line of defense. Of course, when passing through the moat, a hail of arrows was inevitable.
If the arrow falls into the water, the heavily armored soldier has almost no chance of survival.
After passing through the moat, Amin's soldiers bravely rushed up carrying a simple long ladder. Even if they knew they would die, they did not dare to retreat at this moment.
"ah!"
Several simple long ladders were set up on the city wall. The attacking soldiers had only climbed halfway when hot oil poured down on them. The burning pain caused the soldiers to fall directly from the air. Before the following soldiers could continue,
Climbing up, a torch was thrown down from the top, and the entire long ladder was on fire.
The people under the city pose no threat to the castle at all. Although there is strict military discipline, the attacking soldiers grit their teeth and have to cross the moat to launch an attack. But everyone knows that if the fight continues like this, sooner or later the attacking troops will fall into trouble.
collapse.
Viscount Cliff was even looking at the sky boredly on the castle at this time, and muttered:
"May the great Lord of the Rising Sun forgive these sinners."
On the other side, Amin also knew that attacking like this would lead to the death of the soldiers, and there was no possibility of breaking the city. He looked at Natalie again, thinking that if the other party could not come up with anything else, even if the other party was Lord Richard,
He has to act according to his own wishes.
But fortunately, Natalie didn't make him wait any longer.
"It's almost time. The fighting ability of these guys is really worrying. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat."
After muttering a few words to herself, Natalis raised the hand in her hand, as if she had activated some skill. Amin, who had already raised a cold aura on Natalis, now
It even felt like there was a deathly energy lingering around Natalie.
Then, four night angels who looked similar to Natalie and had black wings on their backs appeared simultaneously in the air.
"This is?"
The four night angels were naturally summoned by Natalis' skills. As the level increased, Natalis' mental power also greatly improved, and four night angels could be summoned at one time to assist in the battle.
"Send all your men out and quickly take control of the castle later."
After saying that, regardless of Amin's surprised look at this moment, Natalis flew directly from the horse, juxtaposed with the four night angels in mid-air, and flew towards the city wall at an extremely fast speed.
Before the stunned A Ming could recover, several Night Angels had already approached the city wall.
"All troops attack!"
"follow me!"
After reacting, Amin looked at the ghostly speed of the five Night Angels and knew that the defenders on Lundinburg had no way of resisting them. He no longer had any doubts and quickly followed Natalis's instructions.
He personally led the remaining five hundred people towards Lundinburg...
