Angus has been waiting in front for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They did not have any means to communicate with each other, but set a time in advance according to the estimate, and at the point in time after Matthew was expected to be able to solve the problem, Angus would directly attack Kortledge in front, and take Korrich down as quickly as possible, and then go to make peace with Matthew, and pull out the three nails in this area overnight.

Of course, the plan is what it thinks, and whether it can be implemented smoothly or not will be known only after the battle.

Kotledge was much more reliable than the small strongholds after that, with a ring of masonry walls high enough, sentry posts at the four corners, a small town in it, a garrison of some weight, and a little bit of medium-sized weaponry—not as good as some cities, but at least more reliable than a manor-like stronghold. As the first target chosen after careful consideration, this is already the softest persimmon on the Sunderland line that everyone can find.

It's really, soft enough.

Similar to Matthew's preparations, Angus has been eyeing this place from afar for a long time, but it is no longer possible to settle the battle in three or five minutes after a group of people touch it like Matthew's place. At least the walls are there, and these problems must be addressed head-on in order to break through this line of defense.

Fortunately, it has only just begun, and it has not really penetrated into the heart of Sunderland, and Angus is not so alone. Unlike after entering Sunderland, I am afraid that it is difficult to have the opportunity to bring even enough supplies, let alone other heavy weapons, if you want anything, you have to rely on the plundering along the way to replenish yourself.

At this time, there are still some large instruments that can be brought in to help Angus.

After all, the thick defense of the city wall, without large equipment to rely on people to pile up, is really a bit too big, and it is more difficult to storm it anyway, according to Angus's attack plan that almost cut off the back road, it will definitely not be able to withstand this kind of loss. This is simply a great waste of troops.

Today was a very good opportunity, the night gave Angus enough time to prepare the trebuchet and siege crossbow without hurry, and divide these things into two or three large pieces to hide in the forest, and when they needed to be used, they could be assembled immediately, and launch an attack on the Kortledge, which would take a long time to prepare and reduce many possible dangers.

The number of trebuchets is not too much, and the effect they can cause is relatively limited, and this kind of heavy equipment is really difficult to transport, and the few that Angus has brought with him are already troublesome. There is really no way to use it on a large scale, and as a substitute for it, there is a more portable and movable siege crossbow, which is made like a vehicle, and can be towed to other positions more easily. And this kind of thing is no less powerful than a trebuchet's boulder, and if there is any disadvantage to it, it is that ammunition is not as easy to replenish as trebuchet.

Hydraulic siege crossbow, this thing is not produced by Skaloa himself, it is still the trophy captured by Angus in the previous battle, and Skaloa does not have a production line in the country to provide him with a steady stream of giant crossbow arrows for siege crossbows, so there is no way to use it often, it can only be used at such critical moments...... Good steel is used on the cutting edge.

This thing is said to be the work of someone in the past, and the person who came out of that workshop did directly or indirectly affect the direction of the world, and whenever Angus saw a hydraulic siege crossbow, he would experience this firsthand. Even if he didn't know anything about alchemy, he could feel the power of the new technology from the massive crossbow and the hydraulic pipes that swirled around it.

Before seeing this thing, he never thought that there would be a terrifying crossbow bolt that was huge enough to shoot through the city wall, and even added fire runes to the crossbow arrow, so that the crossbow arrow would explode in a huge way after hitting the wall. And for a wall like Kotridge, which is not made of solid rock, it has a terrifying power.

It was a joy that made him feel scared and happy at the same time, pure joy for a powerful weapon, like a new toy for a child.

It's almost time.

If all went well with Matthew, a group of men would have died at Matthew's hands on this seemingly peaceful night, and they would never have been able to help Cottridge's men pass on any news of the attack to the rest of the Senderland garrison.

Now, then, was the best time to attack, and Angus looked at the walls of Kortledge from afar, and gave his men an order to attack.

The first attack was a huge stone thrown by trebuchets, which quickly streaked through the dark night sky and smashed on the city wall before everyone was aware of it, causing an earth-shattering loud bang that caused a flurry of sand and stones to fly on the city wall, igniting the fire of the attack.

Six bolts of the hydraulic siege crossbow followed. While the crossbow bolts were aiming, Angus was already rushing towards the city wall from both directions with a tidal wave of soldiers. The crossbow bolts that had sped past them halfway had already overtaken them, and with a terrible scream, they ran towards the outer wall of Kortledge.

Two of them shot straight at the tower, and the runes on the crossbow bolts exploded as soon as they were impacted, engulfing the entire upper floor of the tower with a burst of flames, and the impact force knocked the two soldiers on the tower out, flying out from behind the tower and falling into the city wall. The other four crossbow arrows were shot in front of the city wall, and the elemental runes gave the crossbow arrows an incomparable huge impact, and the crossbow arrows on all four limbs were lined up, and the combined force cut off a layer of the city wall in the blink of an eye. Countless fragments smashed into the inner side of the city wall, and before there was any respite, a second round of trebuchet attacks came in front of them.

Tear this hole as fast as you can! Let your own people kill it and take this place before they're fully ready!

Angus was left with only the torn wall, and everything was left behind him.

Three rounds of surprise attacks had the desired effect, and Angus managed to pour his men and horses into the city from outside the ruins, and strangled the defenders of the city. Before the defenders were fully mobilized, they had already gained a foothold on the inner side of the city walls.

In the blink of an eye, there were already murderous voices.

Now Angus's team has the advantage of equipment, and can attack with all their strength when they are fully prepared, without any worries, and can even give up a certain degree of defense. This is a huge advantage in close combat. Angus's group of soldiers, including himself, were the first team in Scarloa to be equipped with Rune Armor and Rune Sword, both of which were made by Carlil himself, and there was a direct one-sided restraint when dealing with Sunderland's standard equipment.

When Sunderland's weapon hits Angus, the armor can completely absorb the attack from the longsword in a burst of magical light, and Angus's common slash on Sunderland's soldiers is as easy as slicing tofu, what could be happier than that? Until the magic runs out, they have an overwhelming advantage in melee combat.

That's right, the equipment that Kahlil designed for them is activatory, and can only be used for maximum performance when the internal mana circuit is fully operational, and only good defense when the mana is depleted, although the longsword can still slice through Sunderland's armor...... However, after several equipment improvements in Sunderland, the rune sword that has not been activated can no longer exert the power of sharpening iron like mud at the beginning.

Everything went very well, and Angus had already led the team into the center of the city. With half of his body covered in blood, he was like a demon descending, and even his momentum had overwhelmed the enemy, stopping the enemy soldiers who witnessed Angus's killing posture......

Although in the blink of an eye, it will be pushed up by the soldiers who rushed up from the rear and sent to the shining blade.

Kotledge should have sent the news that he was attacked, and the news should have been intercepted halfway through, and now the soldiers' equipment had just consumed a small half of their mana, which should be enough to support them through the battle. Now they had occupied a third of the city, and the encirclement outside the city had been pressed from the outside. The situation is settled, and all that remains is a massacre......

Originally, Angus was still a little lacking in confidence, and planned to put the special team of the Holy See in it, but now it seems that he is indeed overthinking. This small killing move can also be hidden in the snow in the hand for a period of time, and when they are needed, they can be used again, after all, the same problem as the hydraulic siege crossbow, this group of people from personnel to equipment can not be replenished in time.

It was less than an hour before the start of the war. Even in retrospect, the sound of the first boulder hitting the city wall seemed to have just dissipated. The Angus, who had already captured most of the city, had even begun some simple finishing work in the rear, and they did not have time to stay here for long.

This battle was fought for annihilation, not capture.

The momentum of Angus's troops in and out of a no-man's land finally met a slight obstacle in the last resistance.

A group of archers, with the help of a few magicians, temporarily suppressed the soldiers in front of Angus's ranks, pinning them down in the distance, leaning against the northeast corner of the city wall for a final resistance. Magically blessed feathered arrows can already deal damage to rune armor, and Angus doesn't want to suffer such ridiculous battle damage in this final clean-up phase.

He quickly glanced at the topography of the tower, and climbed up to the building on the other side with a few guards around him, looking at the group of archers on the tower from a distance half a street. Although the distance was a little farther away, standing on the roof effectively reduced the height difference between Angus and his guards and the enemy.

That's enough.

Angus stuck his broadsword on the ground and raised his left hand towards the tower, and a row of guards behind him followed Angus in the same motion. At this time, the archers on the opposite tower, who were focused on suppressing the ground, had just discovered Angus and these people, and it was too late.

The right hand gently tugged at the bottom of the armor on the inside of the left arm, and there was a muffled sound on the roof, and small projectiles were fired at the tower, sending small sparks on the tower and burying deep into the body of the archer on the tower.

Turning to the right hand position and firing a salvo again, this new weapon helped Angus pull out the last nail in the city in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
