Prologue (3)-15 Thunder and artillery fire
The commander of the city wall listened to the advice of Teresarini and placed the soldiers defending Sanabettiri in the streets a little further away from the walls.
The improvised barricades brought from the wagons had been placed in the streets in a short time.
Soldiers armed with a variety of weapons defend the streets that crisscross here.
The soldiers defending Sanabetiri had not been trained to defend in street battles with this kind of dispersion before this - the first time such a tactic was used, it was now a real battle, and it was still a big battle!
......
Near the land side under the city walls, above the streets.
"It's going to rain...... a soldier armed with a shield and a short spear said with some concern, looking at the sky in the distance.
"It's not good, but it'...... For them...... I guess there will be some obstacles. Another soldier with a bow and crossbow on the side said.
"They don't need fire to attack...... "The soldier with the short spear seemed to disagree with the crossbowman's statement.
"They're coming!" Suddenly there was a shout from a soldier who was in charge of observing the enemy's movements on the distant wall, and the soldier immediately withdrew from the wall after delivering the message.
"Hurry up and get ready for battle!" the soldier, armed with a short spear, immediately circled behind the barricade and urged his companion with some urgency.
The crossbowman also immediately ran quickly to the rear of the barricade.
Several soldiers behind the barricade immediately moved the improvised barricade to the position.
"I don't understand why we don't defend on the walls. The crossbowman looked a little confused, "Do you mean...... Do you have to wait until they climb over the walls before they start fighting......"
"It seems that you have not heard about Alex Setertirino before. The soldier with the spear next to him continued, "Those soldiers on the city wall ......," and the soldier shook his head.
The short spearman then told the crossbowman on the side that under the attack of the opponent's mysterious weapon, the entire city wall collapsed directly like a body slide!
There are very few surviving soldiers on the city walls, and at the foot of the walls!
"Next...... It's raining......" The crossbowman looked up into the air.
The rain began to fall in a trickling manner.
In the distance, the sound of thunder blended with the fire of the enemy's heavy long-range weapons.
Soldiers with short spears nervously looked nervously at the walls not far from the street.
With a "boom", smoke and dust suddenly rose on the city wall, and large and small stone fragments collapsed downward from the smoke and dust that slowly spread around!
"What's that?!...... More powerful than the trebuchet in the record!" The crossbowman looked at the overwhelming scene in front of him, and was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
The rain began to fall heavier and heavier, and the smoke and dust on the city wall also faded away quickly in this rain.
After the attack, the broken city wall was revealed—it was only a section of the city wall that had been attacked by the enemy's heavy weapons for only one time, and most of it had already been hit by potholes!
If you use a trebuchet strike, it may take a long time to attack continuously to have such an effect!
A small hole has appeared in the city wall that was attacked just now.
"They'll be coming from that side soon, I think!" the short-speared infantryman raised his guard.
These soldiers, behind the proposed barricades, were ready for defense.
"What's going on...... They...... Why hasn't it come yet?...... Could it be that ......" the short-spear infantry began to get a little scared, "could it be ...... What more powerful secret weapon do they have?!"
At the moment, no one here knows the latest situation on the enemy's side - and there is no experience to tell them what the next battle will be......
