Herald, blow the trumpet to attack! Art sat on his horse and ordered the guards beside him.

Several of the guards removed the horns from their waists, raised their necks and blew three dull horns.

"Three hundred steps ahead of the fort, forward!"

"Three hundred steps ahead of the fort, forward!"

Orders were heard from the squadrons to the commanders to advance.

The soldiers listened to the sound of the trumpets and the military orders, and slowly advanced towards Walloon Fort, and came to a stop at more than 300 paces in front of the fort gate.

As they advanced, Art and the guards moved behind the attack array.

Standing at the head of the formation, the adjutant commander of the army, Odo, who was in charge of directing specific operations, looked left and right, and shouted loudly: "Trebuchet projectile, infantry siege team prepare!"

The slingers beneath the trebuchets on either side of the queue began to spin their winches, flicking into the trebuchet's boulders, but unusual round or square stones, into which they had collected the pebbles of fist size, which Arte had collected in a nearby stream.

When the grenadiers operated the trebuchet, the soldiers of the infantry array also took off their cloaks, revealing the plate armor scales and chain mail worn on their bodies, or climbed the siege tower, or drilled into the city breaker, and some elite soldiers carried wooden ladders to prepare for the ant-attached city.

The first squadron was assigned to be in charge of the breaker, and the squadron leader Colin took the lead in leading a dozen soldiers into the ram, which was about thirty feet long, with three large wooden wheels on each side of the bottom, and a peaked wooden shield at the top, which was also covered with a layer of water-splashed animal skin sand, and a heavy solid wood with a pointed tip and iron.

As a squadron commander, Colin had always liked to lead by example, and after drilling the ram, he rushed straight to the front, holding his hands on the stakes that hit the side of the wood, and watched as the trebuchet hurled stones at Wallonburg.

The Swabian guards hiding behind the battlements of the castle wall waited for a few round stones that didn't hurt to fly from the trebuchet outside the city, and they didn't cry too much, after all, with the frequency of the trebuchet's projectile, these sparse sparse stones could not pose a lethal threat to the defenders.

But Schwabian miscalculated.

The trebuchets that used to throw round stone projectiles did not fly out of the cobblestone the size of a skull, and when the busts were scattered, each trebuchet had one or twenty fist-sized pebbles flying out.

The pebbles scattered over Walloniab and threw a net at the defenders.

The pebbles would not have left a single white mark on the stone castle wall, but the result would have been terrible if such a dense number of pebbles had flown over such a distance and then hit people.

Watching the cobblestones swarm towards the fort wall, and listening to the terrible and panicked screams behind the fort wall, Colin burst of blood and qi surged.

"This group of mongrels, now you know how powerful we are~ haha" A siege soldier in the city-breaking hammer couldn't help but laugh loudly.

The soldier smiled and turned to Colin on the other side of the log and asked, "Chief Colin, which adult came up with this great idea?"

"It's not a clever idea that the commander came up with, I heard that the brother of the 3rd Squadron who used to be a shepherd came up with the idea. After the military council, Tuba listened to the soldier's suggestion, collected a lot of river stones (pebbles), and replaced the stones in the trebuchet's cartridge with those river stones, and you can see that so many enemy soldiers were killed and wounded. ”

"After this time, the brother who came up with the idea will definitely be rewarded for his military merits, and maybe he will be promoted to the military for it. If you have any good ideas in the future, don't tm me and pile in my stomach, even if it's a fart, you have to give me a sound. Maybe you can smoke the enemy to death~"

The soldiers around him burst out laughing.

Woo~Woo~Woo~

Three horns sounded.

Kazak pulled out the broadsword at his waist, raised the iron round shield in his hand, and shouted at the dozen or so soldiers wearing heavy half-body plate armor beside him: "Second squadron, the right side of the castle, charge!"

With that, he rushed towards the Walloon Fort fortress first, and the soldiers behind him also raised the ladder to the city and chased after Kazak......

"The third squadron, on the left side of the castle, is a shield formation to cover the charge!" At the sound of Tubba's order, a dozen soldiers were divided into two groups, two carrying ladders, and the rest holding shields to cover the ladder towards the castle.

Seeing that the soldiers of the rest of the squadrons had begun to charge, the squadron leader of the fifth squadron (formerly the mercenary squadron) standing on the siege tower Triduok was very anxious, because it was the labor sent by the local army to push the siege tower, they did not dare to rush too hard, so the movement speed was too slow, and it was estimated that the siege tower was still moving towards the fortress wall when the soldiers of the squadron landed in the city.

"Roger, this speed is too slow, let's go down and push!" With that, he jumped off the siege tower in a few steps and joined the crowd of carts moving......

On the other side, the leader of the 4th Squadron on the siege tower, Rejek (Wandering Knight, new), saw Triduok jumping off the siege tower with his soldiers, and also gave an order, and joined the crowd with the soldiers of the 4th Squadron......

"Jason, stop firing from a distance, follow the siege tower towards the fort gate, and wait until you are a hundred paces away before suppressing the enemy at the head of the wall." Otto commanded Jason's crossbow team, which was more than a hundred and fifty paces away, and was shooting up to the sky.

Jason waved his hand to stop the crossbowmen who were throwing at the wall, and picked up two bags of arrows to catch up with the advancing siege towers......

Behind the attack array, Arte immediately carried his sword to observe the rapid changes in the battlefield situation, and saw that the fastest rushing Kazak Second Squadron was about to approach the heel of the fort wall, Yat ordered Ron: "Order, the trebuchet projectile target extends ten feet to the inner fort, smashes the enemy's heels, and hits the people behind their fort walls." ”

"Order, ask the allies to follow the ram and ladder, and begin the assault as soon as the gates are broken or the walls are broken, and tell them that the first army to attack Wallonia is free to collect the spoils."

Ron took the order and left......

Inside Walloonburg, the Swabian defenders began to panic, according to the information provided by the external reinforcements, they also knew that a Burgundian army of 100 men was coming to attack the city, but they did not expect this army to be so well armed and armored.

The main army attacking outside the city was almost always dressed in plate armor and chain mail, and the worst ones were also wearing double leather armor or iron plate armor, which was by no means comparable to the previous army formed by local peasant soldiers wearing cotton armor or even no armor.

Baron Swabia, one of the Swabian barons in charge of commanding the garrison of Wallonia, stood on the tower of the inner fort with a gloomy face, looking at the enemy troops outside the city, and read from between his teeth: "Where did this hell come out of this group of devils?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a flying river stone (pebble) smashed into the pillar next to him, smashing a piece of sawdust.

Baron Swabia pulled the shield-wielding soldier in front of him, and then turned sideways to the guard and ordered, "Flying pigeons." Inform our cavalry outside the city: The enemy is fierce and the defense of the city is unfavorable, please attack the enemy's rear position to reduce the pressure on the city. Hurry! ”

The guards were ordered to turn around and run down the tower, freeing the herald pigeon.

Ron pointed to the two carrier pigeons that had flown east from Walloon Castle and said to Art, "Look, sir, there are carrier pigeons flying out of the castle. ”

Art glanced at the sky and said, "The Swabians in the city are scared, they are asking for help. ”

"Order the sergeant major to lead the sentry cavalry to assist the outer army to the east and make sure that the Swabian cavalry is stopped."

One of the guards behind Art turned his horse's head and walked around Wallonburg toward the blocking army to the east.

Under Walloon Castle, Weiz, the first squad leader of the second squadron, was the first to start the city, he held a wooden shield in his left hand to resist arrows and thunder stones from the head of the fort wall, the broadsword was held horizontally in his mouth, and the wooden ladder was held in his right hand to climb up step by step, the enemy soldiers defending the city tried to lift the wooden ladder with a fork and a lever, but this time the climbing ladder on the wall was equipped with an iron hook barb, once it hooked the wall, it was easy to not open it at all.

Weez took three steps and did two, and the distance of more than twenty feet was instantaneous.

With a flick of his side, Wez dodged a short spear that stabbed straight at him, and the wooden shield in his left hand slammed into a yellow-haired, numb-faced Swabian soldier.

The Swabian soldier had just stabbed his spear in the air, and was hit hard by the edge of the wooden shield, smashing the bridge of his nose and crouching in pain.

Taking advantage of the gap in front of him, Wez jumped onto the wall, took off the broadsword in his mouth, and slashed at another Swabian enemy soldier who rushed over with a thick-backed single knife.

As a veteran of battle, Wei Yu looked at the broad-backed and broad-waisted Swabian enemy soldier in front of him, and he no longer confronted him head-on. He took a half-step back, raised his shield and bent down, fended off the enemy's slash, and one leaped around his back, reflexively slashing into the enemy's back, tearing a wound in the enemy's body.

The Swabian soldiers were also red-eyed, they didn't care about the wound behind them at all, they turned around and slashed at Wei Yu with a knife, but Wei Yu didn't stand firm and hurriedly raised his shield to resist, and was overthrown to the ground by a huge force.

The enemy's thick-backed single knife was raised again, Wei Yu couldn't dodge and saw that he was about to be stabbed, and suddenly the Swabian enemy soldier's body fell off with a single knife in his hand, and then he fell in front of Wei Yu with a thud.

Kazak, who jumped on the wall, stepped on the back of the fallen enemy soldier, pulled out the tomahawk embedded in the back of the enemy soldier, and yelled at Wezz who fell to the ground: "Wei Yu, stabilize the gap, let the brothers in the back go to the city!" ”

With that, he raised his tomahawk and ran towards another enemy soldier who was rushing towards him.

The second squadron descended to the bottom of the wall section, and Colin in the battering ram was directing the soldiers to shout trumpets to drag the crashing logs back, and then slammed into the fort gate in unison.

But the Walloon Fort Gate, which had been patched together with wooden planks, was not as fragile as it seemed, and the ram had smashed dozens of times on the gate, each time only slightly shaking.

"TMD, what did the Swabian mongrel use to build the fort gate, why is it so hard?" The soldiers under the city-breaking hammer had a dry mouth and were already a little out of strength.

Dozens of rounds of impacts, Colin's armor was soaked with sweat, he also noticed the abnormality, no matter how strong the fort gate was dozens of rounds of impact, it was impossible to move the slightest, and since they hit the door, the Swabian enemy soldiers on the wall had not thrown a stone or shot a single arrow at them.

"Stop!" Colin told the soldier to stop the ramming, and went into the doorway, leaning on the fort door and peering through the gap.

"TMD, fooled!" Colin wailed.

It turned out that the cunning Swabian defenders were too numerous to assign defenders to guard the fort gates, so they simply demolished several stone houses in Walloon Fort and blocked the gates with stones......

"The gate of the fort is blocked by stones, and it cannot be opened. Everyone follow me up the wooden ladder to the city! ”

More than a dozen soldiers came out from under the city-breaking hammer and ran to the city ladder in two parts......

When the soldiers on the ladder reached the city with all their might, the siege tower on the right finally reached the base of the wall, and Triduok commanded a dozen soldiers of the fifth squadron to quickly climb to the top platform of the tower.

"Lower the wooden bridge and prepare to charge!" At Tridok's command, the soldiers cut the rope that held the wooden bridge together, and the wooden bridge fell and landed on the wall of Wallonia.

However, the Swabian defenders were also prepared, and as soon as the wooden bridge fell, four or five clay pots filled with fire oil were smashed on the wooden bridge, and then a rocket wrapped in cotton cloth ignited the spilled fire oil, and the siege tower wooden bridge instantly ignited a fierce fire, blocking the impact of the soldiers on the siege tower.

Triduok looked at the raging fire, anxious.

As a commander who had just joined the Yat army, he urgently needed to improve his status with his combat exploits, so he fought extremely hard every time.

The two squadrons on the ladder had already climbed the wall, and if he didn't seize the opportunity, it would be hopeless to break through the city and attack first.

"Take off your water bladders and water yourself!" Tridok removed the sheepskin bladder from his waist, pulled out the wooden stopper, took off his helmet, and poured it off his head.

Of course, the water in the bladder is not enough to soak the whole body, but it always has a role.

The Swabian defenders on the wall saw that the fire on the wooden bridge of the siege tower was getting more and more fierce, and it was expected that the besieging enemy army would not dare to rush over for a while, so only three soldiers were left to guard the wall section, and the remaining seven or eight people all rushed to the place where they had already ascended the city in an attempt to drive the enemy down.

The Swabians were not wrong, and the average person would not have taken any risks in the face of death-thirsty fire.

But today they met ruthless characters who didn't want to die.

While the three remaining guards nervously aimed their short spears at the siege tower wooden bridge and watched the fierce battle on the other side, a "fire man" holding a round shield in his left hand and a Viking sword in his right hand rushed out of the wall of fire, leaped up, and pounced on the three remaining soldiers.

Before the three defenders could react, one of them was thrown to the ground, and the Viking sword was pressed against his throat, and the red blood of the soldiers on the ground spurted out.

Then there is the second, third, and fourth "Burning Man" who rushed through the wall of fire~

"This Triduok, don't die!"

"Blow the trumpet! Storm!!! ”

Yat, who was more than 300 paces away, had clearly seen the situation at the head of Walloonburg, the second and fifth squadrons had already gained a firm foothold, and the defeat of the enemy troops in Swabian at the head of the wall was decided, so he ordered his soldiers to go all out to the city, and use two landing points as a breach to tear apart the defense of Wallonburg.

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! ～

All the soldiers under Wallonia who had not yet arrived heard the rapid trumpet of the conscription, and they charged at the two breaches like chicken blood.

The two breaches were quickly torn apart due to the surge of support forces, and the entire fortress wall was quickly annihilated by black~

Wallon Fort façade breached!
