(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)

www.mpzw.com) At dawn, Loria and Ahri climbed to the high ground north of the city.

She took the package off the big fox's back, took out several barrels from it, laid them on the ground, and lit them one by one.

The red fireworks flew into the sky with their long tails and burst high in the sky.

"Damn the fog!"

Loria cursed, and only the fireworks could be faintly seen from her close.

"Meow!" Ahri rubbed her with her huge head.

Loria shook her head, touched Ahri's head and said, "Who knows how many rebels there are, I can't let you go out on an adventure...... Rest assured, they won't be able to get in.

"Meow!"

"Well, I really don't know if they'll be able to capture the snowman...... But trust me, you know I've always been cautious. Loria, who was exposed by Ahri, said helplessly.

"Meow ......"

Ahri was convinced by her.

……

In the face of a sudden war, everyone has more or less revealed and unrevealed uneasiness, except for a few.

Alice is indifferent to what is going on outside the city, and lately she has been huddled in her room day and night, refusing to come out...... Since she was injured in the snowy fire, Loria, who wanted to take care of her, shared a room with her, and didn't bother to change places again. But recently, for some reason, Loria was driven back to her original room by Alice.

Nomi is one of them, and she is happy with the foggy weather, and she can finally see the city during the day without any scruples.

"Caesar, let's go see the humans fight!" said to Nomi excitedly to the cactus she was holding - the name of the cactus was the one she had begged Loria to take - and as soon as she said go, Nomi dragged her chains and Caesar around the city walls, but was ruthlessly driven away by the defenders.

A person who seemed familiar to her walked over and greeted her, "Xiao Nengmei." ”

Dodging the hand that touched her head, Nomi stuck out her tongue at the visitor and said, "Stupid! ”

Nomi has the consciousness and pride of being a pet.

Clement was hurt.

The female knights had come with paladins to help, but they were not used to and were not fit to fight on the walls...... Before entering the white-knuckle battle, it is better to come down and cultivate the spirit than to waste the priest's precious magic power and stand in the way of the wall with a shield against the wall.

Clement, who didn't know Nengmei's habits, tried to use candy to seduce the little vampire, but unsurprisingly failed.

One is a brave knight who is accustomed to seeing bloody storms, and the other is a fool, and the two of them are so funny without any tension.

"You're so laid-back. Loria came over and said, surveying the terrain nearby, preparing to direct the workers to set up several trebuchets - assembling such an ancient machine was certainly a breeze for a great engineer.

Clement wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Loria: "Don't worry, I won't go to the city wall, this is the most suitable place for me." ”

For siege warfare and siege warfare, Loria was surprisingly the most powerful of the Crusaders - she could even fill the walls with machine guns and cannons if she had enough time and materials - but unfortunately neither time nor materials allowed this to happen.

Just when the three of them wanted to talk about something more, the alarm bell on the tower in the city was sounded.

…… The next day's battle began.

Unlike the skirmishes of the first day, the Stormcloak began its assault early in the morning.

The fog had a detrimental effect on the archers on both sides: shield-wielding Stormcloaked soldiers could easily approach the first gate, their archers would barely be shot, and the defenders were greatly less suppressed from range.

Thanks to the snow-covered walls, the defenders were able to shoot attackers from both the front and the right, and the gates built on steep slopes were more difficult to climb.

Only a handful of Stormcloaked soldiers climbed the first gate with their hooks, but they were soon poked down with spears by the spearmen.

Throwing down dozens of corpses, Stormcloak stopped attacking.

Six dead and twenty-nine wounded, Kana sighed in the makeshift camp in the city, the dead were all shot by arrows and could not be resurrected...... Most of the minor injuries recovered quickly.

"No matter how many times you watch it, you think it's amazing...... Is the Church of Light still hiring?" said a garrison officer with an arrow in the shoulder, "With your help, we are like several times as many people. ”

Kana nodded and shook her head, she didn't agree with the officer's words, the Holy Light could heal wounds, but it couldn't restore them to health anytime soon. Will they be more vulnerable to injuries in the next battle, and how many times will the body and spirit of ordinary people withstand the toss?

By evening, the Storm Cloaks were attacking almost every hour and a half, and their casualties were about five times that of the defenders.

On several occasions, the archers of the Stormcloak even approached the city walls and fired at the defenders...... Rather than climbing the city walls, their purpose was more like using human lives to consume the number and body of the defenders.

Pavlov had mobilized all the nobles of the city for battle on the first day, but the defenders had barely reached a thousand, and on the second day of the battle alone, they had been consumed by nearly a tenth of them by dead and badly wounded.

Even if the Storm Cloak without the Priest's healing lost ten times as much combat power as Xueman, who knows how many of them there were, and judging from the state of the attack alone, they could at least take turns to rest.

At night, the defenders continued to wait in a rain of arrows that struck from time to time.

Early in the morning of the third day, after repelling a tentative enemy attack as usual, the soldiers on the ramparts heard a loud mechanical sound coming from outside the city.

More than a dozen stone bullets of various sizes roared towards the snowy city, most of them landed outside the city, but two also hit the city...... A large hole was smashed into the roof of a grocery store, and another one the size of a wine barrel hit an uninhabited street.

A terrible silence hung over the defenders, and the enemy's siege equipment had been assembled, and the hardest battle ensued—and the heavy crossbows at the head of the city were unable to return fire because of the fog.

After a long wait, a second wave of stone shells struck - this time, they were calibrated to be more accurate, and three fell into the city except for the one that hit at the foot of the wall.

Fortunately, the residents have taken refuge in other urban areas, and there are no casualties except for the damage to the buildings.

The enemy seemed to have been unable to effectively wear down the defenders because of yesterday's heavy casualties, and after attacking twice in the interval between trebuchet launches, their soldiers disappeared.

However, the situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable to the defenders - although it was not accurate, the rebels were able to easily determine the location of the snow-covered city, and in the face of the vast southern plain of the city, which was shrouded in fog, the defenders could not guess the enemy's location.
