King’s Kingdom
Chapter 75: Offensive and defensive warfare
In winter, the sky is gray, and even the arrogant sun star in summer is no longer dazzling at this time, and people's mood is clouded with a cloud like the weather.
"Your Majesty said that eagles should not have hands!" The executioner said respectfully, and then skillfully divided the enemy's muscles on Duke Brando's shoulders, exposing the cartilage underneath, and then easily cut off his two arms. All removed.
Duke Brando's face was full of pain. Such cruel and inhuman torture also brought great deterrence to everyone. The girls on the city wall had been shocked by the brutal punishment and forgot to cry, and their expressions were already sluggish.
"Resist! Damn tyrant! You will go to hell!!!" Duke Brando endured the pain and used the last of his strength to let out a roar, which echoed between heaven and earth for a long time and could not be dissipated.
The two soldiers walked up to the executioner with a five-meter-long spear in their hands. Duke Brando was placed in it, and the spear penetrated into his body along his excretory hole. Duke Brando's lifeless body was lifted up like a flagpole.
"The fate of the rebels!" Theodosius shouted: "He who is obsessed will die! Attack the city!!"
At this time, Jinglan had already been transported by the rear baggage unit, and after two days of assembly, it became a well-deserved siege weapon.
Five cumbersome catapults creaked, setting off a prelude to the siege.
Under the power of the catapult, a huge boulder roared and flew towards this majestic city. A boulder hit the city wall and made a loud noise. Several battlements were smashed, and the gravel collapsed and flew out, injuring several people. garrison.
"Miss, go back! The battle has begun, it's too dangerous here!" Duke Brando's confidant knight's eyes were full of red blood, his lord was tortured to death by such a cruel punishment, his heart was full of angry.
At this time, the daughter of Duke Brando was on the verge of collapse, and lost the ability to process all information from the outside world. Upon seeing this, the Knight named Taining immediately ordered two personal guards to bring the girl back to the main castle in the center of the city.
"Send the arrows! Release the arrows! Don't let them come near!" Ser Taining shouted loudly from the city wall. Although the lord was dead and the oath he made to protect the lord had been broken, he secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely To protect the lord's family and descendants.
"Ugh..." The twenty trumpeters puffed up their cheeks and blew the horns in their hands. The long and desolate sound resounded through the sky, covering the entire engineering array.
The Varangian Guards were still at the forefront of the siege. It wasn't that Theodosius didn't take their lives seriously, but this kind of siege was the most suitable for them.
It is worth mentioning that Theodosius has replaced the off-hand weapons of many Varangian warriors, from one-handed swords to mace, although not all, but still in the narrow melee of siege warfare. It can play a better role, and the situation where the one-handed sword can't break through the armor like before will not happen again.
Ivar is still on the front line of the battle, and he will be the first to fight at the front of the team.
The defenders on the city wall looked at the enemy army that was rushing in like a tidal wave, and they couldn't help feeling nervous in their hearts. The tragic death of the previous lord also brought great pressure to them.
"Don't panic! Soldiers, don't panic! As long as you can defend here, I will take out all the money in the warehouse and give it to you after the war is over. Even the brothers who died in action can get the money. Your life and the credibility of the Ruling family!" Ser Taining said sincerely to the warriors beside him.
He started at the end of the world, without any noble blood, he was saddled by being the groom of Duke Brando, and finally made a contribution in a war with the Central Empire and was promoted to a knight's squire.
For more than ten years, he fought with the lord to the north and south, and made numerous military exploits during this period. His relationship with Duke Brando deepened, and he was one of the people he trusted most, and Sir Taylorin was also worthy of Brando. Duke's trust.
As long as he can protect Duke Brando's family, even at the cost of his life, Ser Taylorin will not hesitate to do so.
The 300 regular soldiers and 400 town guards on the city wall nodded solemnly. Although their hearts were full of tension and fear, Theodosius' actions really gave them the courage to resist.
If they become prisoners, they will suffer the same cruel torture as Duke Brando. They would rather die than be tortured like that.
In addition to the real soldiers, the ordinary citizens on the city walls also took it seriously. When Duke Brando raised his army, he demonized and slandered Theodosius in the territory. Now everyone sees his What he did naturally also confirmed what Duke Brando said.
At this time, the defenders on the city wall can be said to be united. Maybe many of them are not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Rulin family, but in order not to be tortured and their property will not be plundered, they are determined to fight the enemy to the death. .
Seeing that his morale had been distanced from him, Sir Taylorin finally breathed a sigh of relief~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before that, his heart was tightly tied together, for fear that this group of defenders would be shocked by the brutality of the enemy and would not dare to resistance.
The Varangian warriors carried the cloud ladder and pushed the well-lane slowly forward, and in addition, countless Lanyin warriors followed closely behind.
Theodosius divided the soldiers into three attack points, the purpose was to disperse part of the number of defenders. At that time, the Lanyin army still had an absolute advantage when attacking the city, but the number of defenders was further reduced, which was completely effective. to reduce the siege difficulty.
The speed of Jinglan approaching the city wall was very slow, and the Varangian warriors hid behind the Jinglan carrying the ladders, trying to avoid casualties before reaching the city wall.
This is also the earliest alien-like step-tank collaboration.
Finally, Jing Lan came to a place about 250 meters away from the city wall, and the Varangian Guards charged out with the ladder on their shoulders, strode towards the city wall, and ran quickly.
Jing Lan stopped here because there were archers on it, and the archers with the elf bow relied on the advantage of their range to continuously project arrows onto the city wall.
"Damn it! How could they shoot so far!" Ser Taining leaned behind the battlements to avoid the tricky arrow rain. The powerful arrows landed on the city walls and made a clanging sound, suppressing them so much that they couldn't lift their heads.
The Varangian warriors took advantage of this opportunity to speed up their pace, hoping to climb the city wall in one fell swoop. As long as they can climb up and drag the enemy into a melee fight, the Varangian Guard will have the advantage.
Sir Taylorin took a great risk and stuck his head out of the gap in the battlement, glanced down, and saw that the other party was less than twenty meters away from the city wall, he was shocked.
"Warriors! The enemy is coming! Don't worry about getting hurt, beat the enemy back, everyone has a bounty! If you can't beat the enemy, everyone will be tortured to death!"
