Among the Burgundian soldiers who were dense like ants towards the western wall of Fort Gené, Hans carried a thick-backed single knife and followed a wooden ladder to raise a shield to cover the ladder soldiers around him, and behind Hans were ten prisoner soldiers in the same posture, who were covering the elite soldiers of the first marching regiment who carried the wooden ladder and took the lead in the city.

In the first battle against Randy's army, Hans, a prisoner soldier who fought in front of Deadpool, killed two Swabian hoplites with his own hands, and together with Burry the Butcher, killed a Swabian officer, who was carried back to Brammon by the Swabian hoplites' hammer and carried back to Brammon for treatment, while the lucky Hans was almost unscathed except for a few non-fatal knife wounds.

After the war, the Burgundian army suffered heavy losses, especially the low-ranking officers of the Second Infantry Regiment suffered heavy casualties, Hans's original squadron leader and now the new flag captain of the Second Infantry Regiment, Captain Rig, recommended Hans to the Chinese army, so the prisoner soldier Hans was transferred back from the Deadpool to the Second Infantry Regiment as the fourth squadron leader under the flag captain Passat.

In the army to which Art belongs, all the "fourth" are usually relatively weak teams, and Hans's fourth squadron is basically a slave recruit rescued from Bouvan County, and there are not even a few prisoner soldiers, so the combat effectiveness is even worse, and as a result, when assigning combat missions, Hans's squadron was assigned the task of covering the elite soldiers to enter the city.

However, Hans was also very balanced, after all, his flag captain Passat was also given the same task - holding a shield to block arrows for the elites, and then standing under the base of the city wall and waiting for the elites to rush up the wall and tear apart the enemy lines, and if they were lucky or unlucky, they would have the opportunity to climb the wooden ladder to the top of the city to make meritorious contributions or send them to their deaths.

The shield in Hans's hand was still the small round shield captured from the small Swabian army, it was light and flexible to use, but it was very weak when it was necessary to resist the deadly arrows flowing down from the city, the shield was too small to block the soldiers around him, so move a little to the soldiers, the arrows whizzed against his shoulder blades, and the crotch of Hans's pants tightened for a while.

Fortunately, the trebuchets in the rear were still throwing stones at the top of the Fort of Renet, and every time the stones hit the city, the Swabian arrow rain could stop for a moment, and the Burgundian soldiers under the city had to take advantage of this brief opportunity to rush forward.

"Bastard! Who let you get in the way? Let you cover the soldiers! Blockers! Blockers!! ”

The scolding of the flag captain Passat was accompanied by the sound of the sword scabbard slapping, and a prisoner soldier behind Hans was too afraid of the constant accumulation of arrows at the head of the city to block his shield on his head, completely ignoring the safety of the soldiers carrying the heavy wooden ladder.

Hans quickly moved his shield tilted to his side over the heads of the soldiers beside him, and closed his eyes praying that the arrows fired by Schwabian would not kill him.

Rushing forward, there was a thrilling cover to climb the ladder to the base of the wall five or six steps away, there was originally a trench trap here, but in the past ten days of fighting, it has been filled with mud and corpses by the besieging army, and the corpses and broken weapons and rolling logs of both sides left behind after the fierce battle are still piled up at the base of the wall.

The corpses were Schwabian, but more Burgundian soldiers, and in the cold winter weather, after the siege failed, these corpses that had time to be dragged away were thrown at the base of the wall, and from time to time an angry Schwabian threw stones from the wall and smashed them at the corpses, so that several corpses were smashed into flesh, and then covered by the snow to reveal some tattered noses and skulls......

Hans endured the fear in his heart, and half-closed his eyes from looking at the broken limbs in the pile of rubble, but fortunately it was cold in the cold winter, and if these corpses were rotting and stinking in the hot summer, it would be the doom of the besieging soldiers.

Regardless of the fear and disgust of the position, the soldiers of the squadron under Hans gathered at the base of the wooden ladder, gathered the shields in their hands to form a large shield, and the elite soldiers who were ready to ascend the city lifted the wooden ladder, and the upper end of the wooden ladder behind it slowly rose under the joint efforts of the soldiers, and the top of the wooden ladder with iron hooks slowly approached the battlements of the outer wall of Fort Renet, once the iron hook of the wooden ladder grabbed the battlement, the defenders at the head of the wall could not easily overturn the wooden ladder.

However, Schwa's own wooden ladder would not easily put on the wall, and before the wooden ladder could get close to the wall, the two forks and levers were already aimed at the top of the wooden ladder, and Schwabian desperately pushed the wooden ladder that was about to come closer.

At the base of the wall, seven or eight elite soldiers also tried their best to push the wooden ladder closer to the wall, but they were at the root of the end of the wooden ladder, and no matter how much force was transmitted to the top of the wooden ladder, it was also discounted by half, and seven or eight soldiers had already burst out of the green tendons and could not put the wooden ladder against the wall.

Hans saw that the soldiers were struggling, threw the shield, and ordered the three nearby soldiers to join the team of pushing the wooden ladder, and the four young people joined the Schwabian at the head of the city could no longer withstand it, and the wooden ladder snapped against the wall, and the soldiers quickly pulled the wooden ladder back, and the top hook of the wooden ladder hung on the wall.

"Guys, rush up with me! Kill one person and reward 100 fennig! The squadron leader gave the order, put the short sword in his mouth, removed the skin and iron round shield on his back, held the shield in one hand and the ladder in the other, and attached the ant to it......

At the base of the wall, Hans also led his ten soldiers to raise their shields to stabilize the wooden ladder, and at the same time be ready to lead the team to rush up the wall while guarding against the rocks and rolling logs that kept falling from the wall......

As the ladders climbed to the top of the western wall, the trebuchets in the rear outside the city finally stopped throwing stones at the wall, and at this time the trebuchets could no longer smash the city, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally injure their own soldiers who landed on the city with the accuracy of the trebuchet. But the trebuchets were not idle, stones of various sizes moved from the outer wall of Fort Gennet to the castle little by little, and the areas where soldiers might have appeared or hoarded were within the range of the trebuchets.

At the same time as the elite infantry landed in the city, the siege tower was also a little closer to the head of the west wall, and the Swabian at the head of the wall used a fire oil tank to attack the siege tower that was getting closer and closer, although the front of the siege tower was splashed with water and covered with animal skin, but it was still lit under the attack of fire oil, and the crossbowmen at the top of the tower quickly opened the cloth bag full of sand piled up on the side, and the sand and soil were inclined down from the top along the front of the siege tower, and the damp sand still played a role in covering up part of the fire.

When the first soldier to climb the city with a wooden ladder jumped into the battlement, the siege tower on the right side was also smoothly pushed ten steps to the city wall.

The bridge of the siege tower fell to the sound of a hammer striking the locking pin, and Kuang Tong immediately set up the battlements of the western wall.

At the moment when the tower bridge was built, five or six twenty-foot extra-long iron spears stretched out from the battlements of the west wall, and then two burning clay pots burst open on the tower bridge, and the fire oil splashed everywhere, and soon a fire was ignited.

With a command, two soldiers wearing half-body plate armor and holding heavy hammer and round shields jumped onto the tower bridge, they were not afraid of fire oil and spears, and rushed into the sea of fire and ran away with iron spears, and almost at the same time seven or eight warriors with similar armor and weapons also rushed into the sea of fire, and then the rest of them rushed out one after another.

In the previous battle, the enemy threw the oil and lost their money, so the soldiers who were besieging the city had expected the enemy to throw the oil, and they had already doused their bodies with water before the tower bridge fell.

However, Schwabian was not so easy to deal with, at the moment when the Burgundian elite soldiers opened their spears and were about to jump into the battlement wall, Schwabian actually lifted several large wooden planks behind the battlement wall, these large wooden planks were removed from the mansion of the rich merchant lord in the city, these door panels are not too high, but they can completely prevent the Burgundian soldiers on the wooden bridge from jumping over the wall, it is impossible to wear heavy armor to climb over the smooth planks.

The soldiers who had just rushed out of the fire to avoid the iron spear were blocked in front of this wooden door, and could not be smashed by the heavy hammer and axe, which turned out to be the Swabian behind the door with a thick wooden stick.

The elite soldiers on the siege tower bridge had to retreat to the storage platform before the fire oil burned the tower bridge to extinguish the fire and repair it......

When the siege tower attack was blocked, there were already people on the ladder who jumped over the wall and fought against the Schwabian behind the battlement, the Burgundian soldiers were brave, but the Schwabian himself was also fierce, and the elite of the army was able to survive more than ten days of offensive and defensive battles, and the commander of the Swabian garrison was also quite commanding, he clearly realized that Xicheng was the main battlefield, so he transferred all the most elite troops to defend Xicheng.

The battle on the city was already unfavorable, and the defenders were brave and fearless, and the Burgundian soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were quickly killed.

"That section of the wall is the flag team attacking?"

In the back of the western city of Burgundy, Art, who was immediately watching the battle, also saw a ladder on the right side of the wall, and there was still an officer who looked like a squadron leader, leading the three surviving soldiers to try to maintain the rift that was compressed by the Swabians.

The officer must not be very old, and you can feel his slightly immature face and body that has not yet fully grown up from a distance of one or two hundred steps, but he refuses to retreat down the stairs to the city.

"Ron, who is that officer who is still holding out at the top of the city?" Art asked Ron, the guard officer beside him.

Ron took a few glances at the tent, "His name is Celedy, the first batch of apprentices in the parish academy, and the first batch of apprentices in the officer academy, who joined the army with Matthew, was originally an orphan of the convent in the Northlands, and was brought back to the valley by Lord Salter five years ago. ”

"Originally, it was the squad leader under Wei Yu, his squadron leader died in battle, and the squadron leader who was just promoted for his combat exploits last week."

Ron, who is also a young officer, is very familiar with these young officers who have come out of the officer academy.

Art nodded, glancing at the battlefield at the head of the wall that was still fighting to the death, "If he can finish this battle alive, transfer him to the guards." ”

Art commanded and said no more.

"Yes, sir."

During the conversation, the second group of soldiers had begun to climb the ladder to the sound of the horns of Odo's own soldiers, and the main force of the second group was Tubba's banner team, which had recently been stationed in Walloon Castle, with few major losses, and their desire to fight was also the strongest.

Tuba seized the fighter, saw the gap in the wall that was still desperately fighting to maintain, and personally pressed the most powerful first squadron under his command to climb up.

As a high-ranking commander who has been steadily promoted from ordinary patrol soldiers after five or six years of fighting, Tuba is not only outstanding command talent, but also has the fearless courage to carry a heavy hammer and a bold axe into battle.

After more than a dozen soldiers of the first squadron climbed the wooden ladder one after another and began to climb the city, Tuba ignored the guards of his own soldiers, pulled out the page hammer on his waist and rushed up the wooden ladder with a fierce stride, "The guys in front, all rush up for me, I will avenge you if you die, and there are hundreds of brothers behind me to avenge us!" ”

The city of Tubbaden itself is a morale boost.

In an instant, five soldiers had crossed the battlement wall and joined the battle of the breach, and the young officer had fallen and his fate was uncertain, but the gap he was trying to hold on was getting wider and wider, and Schwaz himself had mobilized more of his elite to defend against the enemy......

At the same time, soldiers also landed in other parts of the Western Wall, and seeing that the Western Wall was about to be broken, the commander of the Swabian defenders sounded the trumpet and said that the defenders of several other walls were also urgently transferred to the West City to increase their strength.

Just when the western city was in a stalemate, the northern city was broken, and the Burgundian frontier baron took advantage of the weak defense of the northern city to personally lead more than 20 elites to the northern city and planted his banner on the wall......
