Lord of the Oasis

The noble coalition army, who had assembled the siege equipment, began the prelude to the siege.

The polished and round stone balls were thrown directly by the long arm of the trebuchet, crossing a graceful curve and hitting the city wall heavily. On his body, as if he was attacked by a sling, he covered the smashed part in pain and groaned.

If it hits the key point, or the hands and legs that are not protected by the leather armor, it is simply a fatal blow, and it falls on the city wall on the spot, losing the possibility of continuing the fight, which is equivalent to clearing the field.

The Wayne family has been sticking to Grothenburg for decades, and they have accumulated a lot of materials to defend the city.

Including these catapults and ballistas with their accompanying stone bullets and spears.

These are stockpiles.

In order to be able to use Grothenburg as the center of resistance after the fall of the South County Leader, with the help of the vast North County Plain and the advantages of its own cavalry, the troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom, which were mainly infantry, were consumed on this battlefield.

It is like bloodletting, so that the invading troops can only withdraw sadly, or even surrender the occupied land.

This is the strategic plan of the Principality of Lions.

pity.

And it will be declared bankrupt in the future.

Because Kant's subordinates, Fatis and Rolf, are forcing those knights to start an attack on Marsburg. As long as they break through here, the portal of the South County Territory will be opened in front of them.

When it comes to kneading or kneading, it's up to them to decide!

And the leader of Nanjun is still shirk.

The war has begun.

But it was not the defensive battle against the Silver Plate Kingdom as originally expected.

It was Kant, who didn't take it to heart at all, and was banished, but came back!

The second son of Archduke Cameron, the son of Princess Sophia of the Silver Plate Kingdom, has the second line of succession and has occupied the entire North County Territory, and even in the news, even the East County Territory has occupied a small part of the young man. people!

The fighting at Marsburg continued, with catapults and ballistas hurling stone balls in a whimper.

A terrifying tremor resounded through the sky.

But no way.

The people in Marsburg are still holding on.

The castle that took decades to build, although not a top-level castle, still has a good defensive effect.

The most important thing is that after these catapults and ballistas bombarded, the city wall collapsed a little, but the main body still stood, and the casualties of those soldiers were also controlled within 200, which was not considered to be broken.

If it is calculated according to the conventional method of warfare, if you want to capture this castle, you will have to pay at least thousands of casualties.

But Fatis and Rolf were not prepared to do so.

Too many casualties will affect the morale of the troops.

The noble coalition forces now being coerced and lured by them can't stand setbacks.

On the contrary, they also need an extremely happy victory, and the victory of Marsburg is the most crucial goal.

Therefore, they issued an absolute order, requiring the Wayne family to disassemble all the siege weapons here, and uninterrupted day and night, let the infantry throw stone balls at the city wall and bombard the main body of the city wall.

This is also very effective.

With each impact, the city walls creaked and cracks appeared on the surface.

The city wall has been unable to support for too long. After all, the city wall of Marsburg was built with a layer of stones on the outside, filled with crushed stones and soil on the inside, and then a layer of stones on the outside, which seemed to be solid.

If a section of the city wall is blasted away, then the main city wall will completely collapse.

And now.

That section of the city wall that was bombarded with deliberately concentrated firepower was really about to reach its peak.

After a morning of bombardment, around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there were large and small pits all over the city wall.

On this city wall, there are no soldiers left behind, and they dare not stay here.

Even the entire city wall defense has been abandoned.

The main body of the castle at the rear,

More soldiers have been placed in defense.

The castle is the most important defense system. The city wall is only an external obstacle that delays the enemy's attack. When the city wall falls, the enemy's siege equipment and morale will also be consumed to a certain extent. At that time, it is easier to defend the castle.

At least in castle defense, it is much safer than city walls!

"boom--"

Finally, under the uninterrupted bombardment of the trebuchets, the city wall finally collapsed.

The smoke and dust suddenly overflowed, and a large amount of gravel and soil fell down, and the soldiers on the surrounding city walls and towers, as if they had received some orders, quickly assembled and appeared behind and on both sides of the collapsed city wall.

Next, around this collapsed city wall, the battle for the city wall begins!

This is also a good time to fight the siege.

during a siege.

Not that the collapse of the wall means the fall of the castle.

The collapse of the city wall is only a small section, and the width is not even 5 meters, but it is precisely the width of this 5 meters, and the troops behind are always stationed.

This is a life-consuming battlefield, and it is the main position where the defender can drain the morale of the attacker.

Attackers often have a decisive mentality.

This mentality manifests itself when climbing a city wall or directly attacking a city gate.

Once it is consumed, the overall morale will drop. Unlike the defenders who can recover morale as long as they are boosted, the longer the delay, the greater the advantage of the defenders, especially when they can all withdraw to the main body of the castle. When waiting for help, it has an absolute advantage.

In the feudal era, it was unbelievable to attack the main body of the castle that was completely blocked and had food and drinking water reserves.

And in the case of such a Western feudal lord, a tough battle that lasted for several months is enough to be considered a long time!

"attack!"

Rolf swings his sword forward.

Just behind, groups of nobles allied infantry began to charge.

Armed with spears, they pressed hard step by step, and soon approached the collapsed city wall, but the oncoming arrow rain also poured over quickly, and the infantry of the noble coalition fell to the ground, but more people were heading straight for it. gushing inside.

Just now, an army of 10,000 people has completely launched a general offensive!

No casualties at all!

Even on the inside of the city wall, the eyes of Viscount Kevin on the main body of the castle were about to pop out.

Originally, his arrangement was to prevent the enemy's tentative attack.

But now.

Direct attack.

The tens of thousands of people poured in together, it was like a tide.

Let the bowmen at the top of the city wall shoot, the ballista on the tower bombarded, and casualties were everywhere, but it seemed like a drop of waves were splashing in the sea, and more infantrymen rushed towards it frantically.

And in the collapse of the city wall, a complete battle was formed!
