The second round of attack began with the long horn sound of the enemy's rear formation, and it was Odo who was responsible for commanding the second round of defensive battles in Talburg, as the defending side, the disparity between the enemy and our forces was less than three times, and the enemy army did not have sufficient pre-battle preparations, and even the siege equipment was lacking, so such a castle attack and defense were more powerful than the defenders, so Odo, who was familiar with the defense system of Talburg, should be able to cope with this attack.

However, judging from the state of the enemy army and the current time, Baron Jeffrey obviously wanted to take the outer wall in one fell swoop in the second siege, so Art no longer waited and watched, he took two small teams as reserve forces to sharpen his spears and swords in the inner fort, ready to join the defensive battle at any time.

On the outer wall of the Talfort, Odo has sent at least two additional men to defend the wooden ladders where the enemy may be ascending the city, and if the location of the enemy is determined, the defenders of the surrounding battlements will also rush to help; The laborers and serfs who had been hiding under the outer wall were also selected, and three or five of them were brave, and they went up to the aisle and threw stones.

The steps of the second wave of the enemy's siege were similar to the first wave of tentative attacks, the first attack was that a dozen archers in the rear threw several rounds of light arrows from a distance, trying to disrupt the order of the defenders behind the battlements of the outer wall, but this time Odo learned a lesson, when a round of light arrows flew over, the soldiers in charge of shield cover in time held a shield in each hand to the top of their heads and the combat soldiers, and the crossbowmen in the arrow tower also adjusted the angle of shooting under the guidance of several commanders (sentry riders) with better marksmanship, This time the light arrow was obviously much farther than the last time, although it missed the head, but it could float steadily to the head of the enemy archer, although such an unequal projectile would not cause substantial casualties to the enemy archers, but the difference between the condescending downturn and the upward shot made the enemy archers always have the upper hand in several rounds of shooting.

However, one of the archers' knights, who was in charge of the archers, adjusted the archers' attack strategy in time, and he dispersed the fifteen archers into five or six angled positions. These positions are closer to the fort and it is easier to shoot at the defenders on the fort wall, but they are the shooting dead spots of the arrow tower on the fort wall, and it is difficult to shoot the enemy archers under the city with the archery skills of the crossbowmen in the tower in such a scattered range and tricky angles, so when the enemy archers dispersed, the crossbowmen in the outer wall arrow towers simply stopped shooting and left the arrows for the enemy soldiers who were about to enter the city......

"Baron Jeffrey has decreed that all soldiers who climb the fort wall will be rewarded with fifty pfennigs; Kill one enemy, and reward one hundred pfennigs; The first team to capture the outer wall will be rewarded with 1,000 pfennigs! At the foot of the slope in front of Fort Tar, a blue-robed knight on a war horse stood on horseback and shouted at the attacking soldiers.

The charm of money is eternal, when the enemy soldiers under the walls of Tarburg heard the "fragrance" of silver coins wafting from behind, they were as excited as if they had taken a fierce medicine, and their mouths kept roaring trumpets, and the pace of carrying shields and ladders was much faster.

On the outer wall of the fort, Kazak was shooting at the scattered archers below the city with his bows raised under the cover of shields, and these guys scattered to shoot at the defenders at the head of the wall after receiving several rounds of dive fire from the towers on both sides. Kazak is one of the better archers among the squad commanders, he has aimed at an enemy archer more than sixty paces away from the left flank of the main entrance of the outer wall, this guy always hides in the arrow tower to shoot dead corners, and from time to time shoots an arrow at the outer wall, one of the soldiers on the wall has been shot in the head, if it is not for the luck of having an iron helmet to protect it, this guard will definitely be shot on the spot.

Kazak leaned his head lightly against the battlement, glanced at the enemy archer, and saw that the bow and arrow in the man's hand were aimed at one of the soldiers to Kazak's right, and the bowstring had already begun to draw. Without hesitation, Kazak drew a heavy arrow with a diamond in his bow and began to draw the string, but the enemy archers did not notice an arrow sticking out of the battlement of the fort wall, but focused on the neck of one of the defenders at the head of the city. Just when the enemy archer was ready to shoot with his bowstring full, a heavy arrow suddenly shot from the battlement on the other side of the fort wall, and before the enemy archer could retract his bow and dodge, the diamond-headed heavy arrow suddenly flew in, biting the right arm of the enemy archer, and the huge momentum pushed the guy to the ground......

As soon as Kazak lowered his bow, a wooden ladder was set up on the battlement of the outer wall in front of him, and then the roar of Otto "ready to fight" was heard.

Kazak threw down his bow and said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone is ready to fight!" Fork lever! ”

After that, he took the soldiers who were covering beside him to operate the fork lever placed on the ground, and tried to push down the wooden ladder on the wall together, but the enemy's improved wooden ladder tilted at a smaller angle, more firmly and not easy to overturn, and could not overturn the wooden ladder after several attempts in succession, and at this time, two enemy soldiers wearing leather armor and holding round shields and long swords on the wooden ladder had already climbed the wooden ladder and began to climb in the direction of the wall.

"Spear! Shield! Otto's roar rang out.

With Odo's order, the soldiers from all over the battlements of the outer wall were concentrated at the place where the four wooden ladders were erected, and basically five defenders of the city were waiting on the left and right sides of the battlements at the place where the enemy soldiers landed in the city.

As the youngest squad commander, Tuba has a mediocre record of junior seniority, but his abilities are relatively balanced in all aspects, and in the first wave of tentative attacks, he is the only one in charge of the wall that never allows the enemy to get close to the wall.

"Stretch the spear out of the battlement and sweep!" Tuba commanded the soldiers beside him to stick a ten-foot spear straight out of the battlement.

The enemy soldier who climbed up with a shield was about to approach the battlement, and was about to raise the round shield to block the tip of the spear that was piercing from the front, but unexpectedly the spear on the opposite side did not intend to pierce straight at all, but after shaking it for a while, it was changed to a horizontal sweep, the enemy soldier protected the front, but the spear was swept from the right side, and the soldier on the wooden ladder was not prepared for the attack of the flank, and the right side was slammed down, and his footsteps were unsteady, and he was directly photographed off the wooden ladder, planted under the fort wall and fell on his back......

In the arrow tower on the left flank of Tarburg, four crossbowmen aimed at the enemy soldiers on a wooden ladder near the arrow tower, under the order of a crossbowman who temporarily served as a command, four light arrows shot at the enemy soldier at the same time, such a short distance, such a large target, plus four arrows aimed at the same time, after four "boom" sounds, the enemy soldier fell off the wooden ladder with two arrows and died, and the four crossbowmen began to focus on the enemy soldier who was in the lead on the other wooden ladder.

This is Yat's improved shooting method based on the experience of the first round of attacks, but the archers in the arrow tower are really not good at shooting, if everyone is responsible for a target, they may not want to shoot one, but if four people aim at a target at the same time and shoot intensively, it is difficult to miss a shot at such a short distance. After adopting this group shooting tactic, the arrow towers on both sides of the outer wall had already killed and wounded at least four enemy soldiers in just half a bowl of soup after the enemy troops landed in the city......

After a brief period of brutality, the most tragic confrontation on the façade of the fort began. Despite the defenders' spears and fork beats to prevent the enemy from entering the city, these elite armored infantry kept jumping onto the walls of the fort under the push of money and the cover of armor and shields.

However, the defenders still had the upper hand, and there were four or five soldiers with shields and spears (swords) stationed at each battlement that relied on the wooden ladder to ascend the city, and the defenders guarding the battlements either formed a shield formation in groups of three, or alternately covered the attack in pairs. As long as an enemy soldier jumps down the wooden ladder from the battlement, then he will immediately face the attack of four or five long (short) spears or long swords at the same time, and the enemy soldiers who can jump on the fort wall basically do not survive three or five rounds before they are killed.

Patus, the leader of the first team of the third squad, was one of the first soldiers of the patrol team, originally just a fleeing manor guard in Provence, but after entering the ranks of Ath, he made many achievements, was promoted to the leader of the combat team and occasionally served as the commander of the third team temporarily.

Patus led two peasant soldiers who were temporarily organized into the group to defend the left flank of a wooden ladder at the right end of the fort wall, when a giant man wearing heavy armor and holding a hammer jumped on the wall, he repeatedly resisted the short spear that Pats several people stabbed four times, and the leather armor on this guy's body was wrapped in a thick layer of iron plates, the spearhead was only a nest, the broadsword was cut up to just a white strip, and the heavy iron hammer in the giant man's hand danced left and right in a disorderly manner, but with a brute force giant man had smashed the arm of a right-wing defender.

Seeing that another enemy soldier was about to enter the city on the wooden ladder behind the giant man, Pats didn't care about the heavy hammer that the giant man rotated and wielded, and under the cover of the short spear and shield of the soldiers beside him, he squatted down, rolled on the aisle, and touched the feet of the giant man, the giant man saw Pats rolling over, and swung away the spearhead stabbed on the left side with a hammer, and smashed directly at Pats under his feet, Pats kicked with both legs, rolled down behind the giant man, threw the weapon in his hand, and hugged the waist of the giant man tightly with both hands, Then the right foot kicked hard towards the battlement wall, the giant man just lost his balance because of the heavy hammer smashing the air, and suddenly pushed violently behind him, and the whole person was directly pushed down to the edge of the aisle, the giant man tried his best to stabilize his body and prepared to free his hand to hit Pats holding his waist, Pats did not intend to let go at all, but continued to exert force with both feet, hugged the giant man and fell down the aisle standing position, and fell heavily on the stone slab on the inside of the outer wall with a "plop" sound......

Outside Tarburg, Baron Jeffrey, who was standing in the back of the siege army, saw that although his most elite infantry had been lost at the head of the wall, they had almost gained a firm foothold at the top of the wall, so Baron Jeffrey decisively ordered the remaining twenty elite infantry and ten dismounted cavalry (knights) to lead the armed peasants of the first round of attacks and the selected labor farmers to rush forward, trying to make the crack of the elite infantry continue to expand until they occupied the outer wall. Even Baron Jeffrey himself rode his horse and led his own guards to rush forward, constantly firing arrows at the fort wall.

Shouts rang out outside the fort, and Art in the inner fort was alerted to a massive attack by the soldiers on the tower, and he had a premonition that this was Baron Geoffrey's last desperate attack.

"Both reserve teams are fighting on the outer wall"

"The trebuchet is not needed for the time being, so let the trebuchets bring weapons as a preparation squad ready to fight on the wall at any time."

"Blow the horn and let the waiting platform start attacking the enemy's flank!"

Art drew the knight's sword at his waist as he led the soldiers on standby in the inner fort out of the inner fort and onto the outer wall of the fort.

The forty elite enemy infantry who were the first to enter the city on the outer wall had already suffered more than 20 casualties, and the superior defenders had also paid the price of three dead and five seriously wounded.

By the time the two reserve squads had climbed the outer wall, one of the battlements had been captured by the enemy, and the five defenders defending the battlement had been killed and wounded, and the remaining two defenders had been beaten back by three enemy troops who had gained foothold, and several other battlements were also in danger due to the enemy's massive attack. However, this situation was significantly improved when Art joined in with the soldiers of the reserve team.

Art's shoulder wound had not healed and he could not draw his bow and shoot arrows, so he rushed to the wall, and with his knight's sword he slashed desperately at the enemy soldiers who were constantly jumping up the fortress wall......

Several defenders on the left and right sides of the outer wall saw that the battle on the front of the fort wall was too fierce, and no one had come to attack on these three sides due to the terrain, so after they left a guard on each fort wall to stand guard, the remaining six men rushed to the front with swords and spears to support the defenders.

The façade of the outer wall of the fort was in a stalemate for a while, because both the attackers and the defenders were constantly increasing their reinforcements, and the attackers were trapped in the wooden ladders and battlements, and the defenders could not drive all the enemy soldiers who had entered the city off the wall for a while.

Bass, who was anxiously watching from the right flank, had already burst into flames in his heart, and the enemy's second round of attacks on Fort Tal suddenly increased several times, seeing that the head of the outer wall was about to be firmly established by the enemy, if the enemy's reinforcements tore the defenders' defense line along the gap in the wall, then the defense of Fort Tar would fall into an absolutely passive situation.

Just when the stalemate could not be broken for a moment, three short horn sounds sounded in the Talburg.

Relieved, Hou Taizhong took a sharp breath and shouted, "Crossbowman, shoot me an arrow bag aimed at the enemy's flank!" ”

The crossbowmen in Hou Taizhong had two sheepskin quivers hanging from their waists, each of which contained twenty-five flat-headed light arrows and five diamond-headed heavy arrows, and these crossbowmen could put up to thirty light and heavy arrows at a time, and they would not be able to pull the bowstring any more.

When a round of arrows flew from the flank Houtai, the enemy camp below the city began to fluctuate violently, and the enemy soldiers who were close to the wooden roof of the giant shield immediately hid under the giant shield, while those peasants and a small number of infantry who did not squeeze into the giant shield and did not have a shield were miserable, they had to dodge the arrows from the arrow towers on the outer wall of the Tarburg on the one hand, and had to withstand the deadly blades from the flank Houtai on the other. The most important thing is that the enemy soldiers who followed up with reinforcements have hid in the giant shield under the city, the number of enemy soldiers who climbed the ladder and climbed the city decreased sharply, and the enemy soldiers who lost their support and replenishment soon could not resist the close contradiction of the defenders, and after being killed by three soldiers, the enemy army that was almost on the top of the wall finally collapsed, began to reflexively retreat to the wooden ladder, and evacuated from the wooden ladder in a hurry......

"Woo~~~"

Baron Jeffrey, who was in charge of the battle, looked at the retreating soldiers at the wall, turned his head to look at the sun that was gradually setting on the hills in the west, and shouted a curse, and the latter symbolically blew the horn of retreat......

…………

Yate stood on the outer wall of Tar Fort with a bloody knight's sword, listening to the sound of the enemy's horns and the cheers around him, looking at the remnant sun in the west, he knew that Talfort had really survived a catastrophe~
