Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

　　 Chapter 119, Four Days

　　 Three days later, Lorist took a family arm of more than a thousand people on an expedition to attack Beiye Town.

　　 It took less than an hour to ride on horseback for more than three hours before reaching Beiye Town. Lorist could only shake his head and smile.

　　 As had been expected before the troops were dispatched, Kitano Town was ready. The walls were bright with swords and guns, and the heads of people were plentiful. It seems that the four big families in Beiye Town are also ready to turn their faces. From time to time, there are several guards who point to the people on Lorist's side and shout loudly.

Lorist sent Pat to the city gate to issue an ultimatum, asking the four major families and garrison of Kitano Town to lay down their weapons, open the gate and surrender. Lorist can see the relationship between Kitano Town and the Norton family in the past 100 years. In order to forgive the rebellious behavior of the four major families, as long as they follow the regulations and rules established now, Lorist promised not to punish a person.

　　 As a result, Pat was shot back by a flurry of arrows before he even reached the gate of the city on his horse. The mount was shot into an arrow target. Pat caught the chance and ran back unharmed.

　　Lorist and the others were furious, which means that the people in Kitano Town did not pay attention to the Norton family at all, and were reluctant to communicate. They directly used arrows to greet the messenger. There is no worse rebellious behavior than this.

　　 Forcibly resisting his anger, Lorester rejected the suggestion of all his men to siege the city immediately, and let them direct the troops to camp and make food.

　　 Kitano Town has only two gates, one in front and one behind. It is logical to say that Lorist should set up two camps and block both gates. Only one thousand men and horses led by Lorist, and if it was divided into two parts, it seemed too weak. Lorist also joined forces to set up the camp at the front door, and sent a team of cavalry at the back door to monitor, and only used the garrison of Beiye Town to sneak out from the back door to attack the camp.

If the defensive team of Kitano Town really came to attack the camp, Lorester could not ask for it. He is looking forward to using a field method to wipe out the attacked enemies. Not only will it be a blow to Kitano Town, it will greatly reduce their morale, but also reduce their defenses. The strength of the army made the siege more smooth. It is a pity that the defensive team of Kitano Town deserves the name of a tortoise. They watched the siege crews busy setting up camp on the wall, and there was no sign of attacking outside the city.

　　 When all the chores are arranged, it is already dark. Lorist checked the arrangement of the patrol and the secret post, and he rested early, and he was able to prepare for tomorrow's siege. The first day of the expedition passed.

　　 On the second day of the expedition, after having breakfast early in the morning, Lorist began to line up troops under Kitano Town with his crew. The plan in the morning is that Josk will lead a team of soldiers who can ride and shoot arrows around Beiye Town for a few rounds, find out the weakness of the defense, wait for the opportunity to launch a strong attack, and Lorist will take the people to occupy a city wall or a city gate. From point to point, wait for follow-ups to come right away, and then slowly expand the advantage, and finally win Kitano Town.

　　 Josk took the people and ran around the town of Kitano twice, and only four soldiers were painted. He was lucky. After returning, Josk reported: "No, I found that the original moat had been deepened and widened when I got to the front of the city wall. I couldn't rush under the city wall without filling in the moat. I shot at both front and back gates. It took an arrow to discover that something was blocked inside. They seemed to be determined to defend and never thought about attacking. We could only make an idea from the wall. Just ran two laps and shot down the wall. There should be a hundred bows and arrows, all of which are hunting bows, of different types, which pose little threat to us."

Lorist was very annoyed. When he went to Kitano Town last time, he noticed the moat in front of the city wall. It was only a very shallow trench. Unexpectedly, this time he found that the moat had been deepened and widened. According to Josk It is less than one meter away from the city wall, more than two meters deep, and about three meters wide. Because of the terrain, you can't see it until you stand here.

Lorester himself rode a lap around Kitano Town. It’s strange that the dirt dug out of the moat is gone, but the moat is really like Josk said, it’s impossible to fill it in first. Attacked the city wall.

While ordering Reddy to return to Fenglin Villa, Speer was in charge of transporting a batch of straw bags and shovel tools for soil, while Lorist asked his soldiers to cut logs and make large wooden platoons for blocking arrows. And filled boxcars.

　　 On the third day of the expedition, today’s plan is to fill the moat on the left side of the city gate several tens of meters, and Lorist is ready to attack from this position. Chosk commanded a squadron of family soldiers holding dozens of large wooden platoons used to block arrows until they were less than 50 meters away from the city wall to erect the wooden platoons, and then ordered a small group of longbowmen to rely on the wooden platoon for shelter. Shoot arrows at the wall and suppress the archers on the wall.

The longbows of this team are all simple versions of longbows. These longbows for practice are made of a dense yew wood. The craftsmanship is extremely simple. A thick yew tree can be made. A longbow can be used as long as the shape of the longbow is cut out and then dried. This simple version of the longbow is one foot longer than the official longbow, and the direct threat range is only 70 meters, which is about 30 meters worse than the official longbow, and it is also inferior in accuracy and strength. Generally, you have to change the string to check the longbow for deformation. The bow can also be used as a training bow, and now the guards used to attack the city wall can only be said to be used to drive the ducks on the shelves.

The official longbow uses a wood that is tougher than the yew wood. After this wood is cut, it must be left to dry for a period of time, and then soaked in a special grease for up to three months. Slowly dry in the shade. In the process of soaking and drying in the shade, it is necessary to shape, and then wind, trim, shape, and polish. Finally, paint several times and wrap the bow with a leather sheath. A formal longbow takes one and a half to two years to be made, and such a longbow can even pose a threat to the golden knights within a direct range of 100 meters.

The shape of the 　　 boxcar is also very simple. To be precise, it is just a few wooden rows built into a pointed wooden shed, and four wheels are installed. The roof is covered with a thick layer of wet soil to prevent it from being burned by the rocket. In the boxcar, the soldiers pushed the boxcar to the side of the moat, and Chih raised the front baffle to throw the dirt-laden grass from behind to be thrown into the moat.

Everything went smoothly in the morning. Under the suppression of the Longbowman Team and Josk’s Arrow, the garrison on the city wall couldn’t even lift its head. It could only occasionally drop arrows from the sawtooth shooting port on the city wall. In addition, there is no threat to the attackers below, and even more casualties than the attackers. The trench was filled a little and a half, and it should be filled soon in the afternoon.

　　 Lorist put down most of his heart, judging from the strength of the defense on the wall, this siege was not difficult, and he might be able to win with a small casualty.

Unexpectedly, just after lunch, a wooden platoon was also erected on the wall of Kitano Town. The garrison above also relied on the cover of the wooden platoon to counterattack the longbowmen and the soldiers filling in the trenches, and even if the rockets did not work A clay pot filled with kerosene was thrown down the city wall, and finally the boxcar was burned...

　　Josk was so powerful that he shot down several large wooden rafts on the wall. Unfortunately, it was useless, he destroyed one, and there were more wooden rafts erected at the top of the city.

"Six longbowmen died, and 21 were injured. In addition, their longbows have been deformed and useless by more than half. Fortunately, we have prepared more than a hundred more this time, which is considered to be replaced. Fill in. Eight of the family soldiers in the trench were burned to death, and twenty-six were rescued from the wounds. Do you want to continue to build the boxcar?" Sedkamp reported to Lorist the number of casualties that failed to fill the trench today.

"Send a squadron of family soldiers to log wood, and let the people in Kitano see that we are continuing to build boxcars, making them think that we can only attack again tomorrow, and reduce their vigilance. At night, we will prepare. The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, so we took the opportunity to approach the moat with straw bags and fill the moat overnight." Lorist ordered. .

　　Lorist’s arrangement was beyond the expectation of the Kitano Town garrison. When they discovered the movement under the city wall, most of the moat had been filled. Looking at the alarmed garrison on the city wall and the torch that couldn't help throwing it down, Lorist smiled: "Go, let's go back. It's almost okay. When we attack the city tomorrow, we will fill it with some straw bags of dirt. Hopefully. Tomorrow we can go down to the city in one fell swoop and win a triumphant battle."

　　 On the fourth day of the expedition, it was a fine weather and a clear sky.

　　 Lorist’s entire army was dispatched, and the family soldiers of the seven squads launched a charge against the wall of Kitano Town with seven long ladders.

Lorist took Pat and Reddy and followed the soldiers behind the charge and approached the city wall. As long as there was a long ladder against the city wall, Lorist believed that he could rush to the city wall and kill all quarters and occupy a position on the city wall. , As long as the following people keep up, winning is a matter of time.

　　 One hundred meters, eighty meters, and sixty meters. Seeing that they were almost in front of the city wall, suddenly the wooden rows on the city head were neatly laid down, revealing a line of archers and crossbowmen lining up to draw their bows...

　　 "Let it go!" With the order from the head of the city, the rain of arrows poured down, and the family soldiers charging in front were like waves hitting the reef, and they were shot to pieces...

　　 One by one, the family soldiers fell in the arrow rain. Lorist's eyes were cracked and he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat..."

　　 The green longbow in Josk's hand made a thunderous thunderbolt, and green lightning flew toward the city, one by one, the archers and crossbowmen who were shooting arrows down on the wall fell down. There was a panic on the city wall, the archers lined up all around, and four black garrison crossbows appeared behind them.

　　 "Boom boom boom boom" four loud bangs, four huge crossbow arrows leaped straight towards Josk...

When Josk saw four garrison crossbows appearing on the city’s head, he felt bad. He didn’t care about riding a horse and rolled over from the horse’s back. With a "chill," a huge crossbow bolt swept across Josk’s back. After that, he took away a large piece of carapace and jacket, leaving a deep blood mark on Josk's back, blood burst out, and in a blink of an eye, Josk was stained like a blood man.

　　 Chosk’s mount had been divided into several pieces by three crossbow arrows, and the ground was bloody.

Josk hit the ground twice and jumped up. The pain on his back opened the green longbow again. The light flashed, and a green long arrow hit a black one on the city’s head. The defensive crossbow, the crossbow burst, smashing the heads of several garrisons who were busy winding up next to them. The garrison members of the other three garrison crossbows hurriedly pushed the garrison crossbow and left the city.

　　 After Josk shot the arrow, the whole person was lost. Lorist rushed over, carrying him on his back and rushing towards the camp.

　　 With a "bang", Lorester bitterly hit a long table made of logs divided in half, leaving a deep fist mark on the tabletop.

　　 is too hateful, too annoying. No one expected that the garrison of Kitano Town was so old and treacherous. Two days ago, they used hunting bows to counterattack, and watched Lorester’s siege crews fill in the moat, making Lorester think that Kitano Town had no place at all. How much long-range defensive counterattack strength, until today when Lorist was preparing to take the Northfield town in one fell swoop, he suddenly used his force. He caught Lorist by surprise and caused heavy casualties.

　　 There are a few pieces of animal skins on the long table. Those are the casualties counted by Soderkamp. In just a quarter of an hour, nearly 300 people were casualties, of which 83 were killed in battle and more than 200 were injured. Even Reddy got an arrow in the shoulder when he went up to rescue. If it weren't for all of the family soldiers who charged at the forefront wearing iron chain armor~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the number of casualties would have to be doubled.

Josk was fine. His back was rubbed by the crossbow arrows. It was fine with the medicine, but he stubbornly shot an arrow and destroyed a garrison crossbow. This last arrow strained the blood on the back and caused the wound. It breaks, and recuperation in less than ten days will not be better.

"My lord, morale in the barracks is very low now, and tomorrow we will not be able to continue to attack the city. Today is really surprising to us, how come there are so many crossbows and longbows in Kitano City? There are even four garrison crossbows?" In particular.

"Maybe I know where these crossbows come from." Pachiko lowered his head and said: "Four years ago, the eldest master took the family cavalry to fight for the second prince. At that time, there were hundreds of people from the North Wild Town garrison. Master, they are responsible for escorting the logistical equipment for the young master and the family iron cavalry. They are cleaning the battlefield after every battle. When I was captured by the young master, I also cleaned the battlefield with these garrisons. I found these defensive teams at that time. I pay a lot of attention to collecting weapons and equipment, even if they are damaged, put them together. I know they handed in iron armor and money, but I didn’t expect them to hide the longbows, crossbows and even the long-range weapons such as the garrison crossbow... …"

"Have painstaking efforts. Four years ago, they began to prepare to rebel at any time. No wonder they are less and less concerned about the family in the past few years. Do they think that with these long-range crossbows they can keep Kitano Town? It is not possible to remove this tumor," Lorist said through gritted teeth.

　　 "But we can't get close to the city wall!" Pat said.

"Night attack, as long as you let me go up, you can take down Kitano Town!" Lorist looked at Kitano Town in the distance and said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest.
