Black Iron Crown

Chapter 246 Passing the Torch

The biting cold wind was blowing, blowing on the body like a sharp knife, making people's bones ache.

Earl Twarin seemed to be very intolerant of the cold, and his nose was red all the time along the way.

With his mask open, he pointed at the castle in front of him with a horse whip in his hand, and at the same time said disdainfully: "This castle has low walls and no good protection measures! I think we should be able to conquer it soon. !"

"Naturally!" Earl Zhebo nodded in agreement, then brushed off the snowflakes on the bearskin cloak he was wearing and said, "Maybe we can go to the city to drink a bowl of hot soup tonight! "

After a rough investigation, Earl Twarin and Earl Zhebo returned to the army and started chatting. In their opinion, this is not an important matter anyway. Conquering the castle is indeed a very simple matter. Things, but after all, their strength is dozens of times that of the enemy. They can completely attack the castle day and night with their superior strength, and they will naturally conquer it when the defenders inside are exhausted.

The castle was indeed very difficult to capture, but under such circumstances, he felt that it was not a big deal.

"Everyone, get ready for me!" A soldier commander wearing a full body of chain armor waved a long sword in his hand, paced in front of his soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares If he is cowardly in a battle for a while, I want him to look good!"

The soldiers under his command all showed a little fear when they heard the words. Seeing this scene, he seemed very satisfied. After hitting the stick, he gave another sweet date: "But if anyone fights bravely, the first one who succeeds Whoever reaches the city wall will be rewarded with a gold coin from the Earl!"

"So! My boys! Show your best efforts! You can use this gold coin to buy two hundred acres of land, making your family more prosperous, and even cultivating a noble knight is not a problem. Definitely! All of this comes from your hard work! Go fight! The rise of your family will start from you!"

Hearing the commander's words full of temptation, the soldiers under his command were filled with hope and let out strange screams, hoping to make achievements on the battlefield and change the fate of their families.

More than half an hour later, Earl Zhebo's army had assembled more than 30 siege ladders, and they were staring at the not-so-high city wall.

"Let's attack! We don't need to test! Just use continuous strong attacks to capture this castle!" Earl Zhebo waved his hand indifferently and ordered. Naturally, it is impossible for all the soldiers attacking the city to be troops under his command. A lottery is used to determine whose army will be responsible for this round of siege.

Thirty lords were selected for this round of attack, and each lord was responsible for the attack of a wishing ladder, and after such an attack lasted for an hour, a second lottery would be conducted to decide which 30 lords would lead the team attack.

"Rush up! For victory!" One by one, the lords began to direct their soldiers to attack the castle. They would not be indifferent, because Earl Zhebo promised that the first lord who entered the lord's hall would get the In addition to this Falienburg and its subordinate territories, there are fifty gold coins rewarded by Earl Zhebo.

Seeing the abnormality of the enemy army below, Baron Falan immediately shouted: "Everyone, prepare for defense! The enemy is about to attack the city! Prepare all the stone arrows for me! Archers obey my orders and shoot!"

The knights also got up one after another,

After hurriedly standing up and looking down, he adjusted the armor on his body, and then drew his sword to prepare for defense.

The lords of Earl Zhebo's side attacked very fiercely. After the ladder reached the city wall, they swarmed up the ladder to the city wall.

"Shoot!" Baron Falan has assembled all the hunters and archers in the territory on the two six-meter arrow towers of the castle. After receiving the master's order, these sixty bow and arrow The hand poured out the arrow in an instant.

The battle officially started at this moment, and the flying arrows announced the coming of death. Although the hunting bow was not powerful, it could still kill some soldiers who were not well armored.

These archers continued to shoot at the enemies below the castle after the order of Baron Falan, but the casualties they caused were not ideal, and the damage to the enemies was very limited.

In this way, in just two minutes, the enemy army put their willingness on the city wall one after another, and the enemy soldiers began to climb up the ladder like ants.

The defenders on the castle began to attack the privates on the ladder with their spears, preventing them from climbing the city wall. The battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while. The unlucky defender was taken down by the enemy grabbing the gun.

Frowning and looking at the anxious battle situation in front of him, Baron Falan frowned and shouted to the soldiers who were moving the stones below: "Speed ​​up the moving!"

Then he turned his head and said to the guards on the city wall: "Use stones to kill the enemy! Minimize casualties!"

Immediately after the soldiers got the order, they lifted a piece of stone from the ground and smashed it down the ladder.

But speaking of it, what they store are small stones that can be moved by one person. Not only can they not break the enemy's ladder with huge weight, but if the enemy has a shield, they can only move it. There are not many records where the enemy smashes down and directly kills the opponent.

"Archers shoot faster!"

"The knights led people to block the gap! Don't let the enemy climb the wall!"

Baron Falan shouted loudly and issued orders one after another.

At the same time, a group of teenagers ranging in age from twelve to seventeen were already galloping through the thick snow on their fathers' war horses.

"Huff..." A half-grown boy who looked only twelve years old rode his horse and ran to the side of a slightly older boy who was running in front, and said out of breath, "Bantis, we are going to How to do it?"

"My father asked me to go to the other barons to announce the news here, so that they can be vigilant, and try to make them unite to fight against Earl Zhebo." Bantis said to the boy beside him with a white breath. .

"Then, let's go to the Earl as quickly as possible and tell him the situation here. We must let the Earl win this war! Let him know that the despicable Earl Zhebo has led the army!" The teenager looked He looks very stable, with a mature feeling that is different from his age.

"Then... what about our fathers?" The boy was silent for a moment, then said in a choked tone.

"..."

Bentis was silent for a while, then turned his head and said: "This is their fate, no one can change it, we may also face this fate in the future, they died for loyalty, Lord Earl will not forget our fathers our!"

These words are impeccable, but if someone is on the other side of him, he will find a sparkle in his eyes.
