Chapter 556: Temptation Attack

This kind of bed crossbow has gears on it for simplified operation, and if there are no gears, it would take at least seven or eight people to operate a bed crossbow.

And now, only two people are needed to completely operate the bed crossbow for combat, and this time William brought the bed crossbow out, which has the meaning of actual combat test.

If it really succeeds, then the way of defending the city like the Celestial Empire will be restored again, and of course, the restoration of the bed crossbow also has some of Jia Yu's suggestions.

Although he didn't know how to make it, he had also seen this kind of sharp weapon in the army of his former lord King Liesu, so under his advice, he took a lot of detours.

Of course, this kind of weapon is just a prototype, and if it doesn't play well on the battlefield, it still needs to be redone.

More than 100 wells were set up outside the city of Brijec, and soldiers were guarding them to prevent the enemy inside from leaving the castle and destroying it.

The torsion trebuchet was also set up outside the castle, and the behemoths pointed at the head of the city of Brijec, making the defenders above tremble.

In the absence of a catapult machine crossbow cart, the well is the best way to climb the enemy's city, and it also makes it impossible for the enemy to kill and injure a large number of soldiers with stone and wood defense equipment.

In addition to the archers who can shoot at the walls from above, the infantry can also climb the walls of the enemy defense parallel to the planks above.

It was the middle of winter, and the snow outside the city was very thick, but this did not affect the battle, and the Denlenburg army was in formation and waited outside the castle.

On the city wall, one of the leaders of the Blackstone Army pointed to the Denlenburg army below the castle and said to his subordinates: "See, just kill these soft-footed shrimp for me, and I will take you to the best chicken girl in Collison City!" Hear no! ”

"Hear me! Rest assured! If they dare to come, I'll screw their heads off! ”

In the clamor of his subordinates, the leader looked very satisfied, and it was obvious that he was proud of the bravery of his subordinates.

He continued, "Originally, did you see their armor? As long as we win, basically everyone will get a piece! ”

"I've heard that these enemies are very rich, you can tell from their armor, right? After winning, not only our dividends, but also the loot! There must be something good on you, can you ask me about it? ”

The leader's words also served to boost morale, as many of the Blackstone Army veterans had seen how heroic the Terrenburg infantry were on the battlefield.

This, coupled with their almost invulnerable armor, made them feel even more stressed and frightened, which affected the morale of those new soldiers.

His words completely dispelled the concerns of everyone under his hands, what did they join the Blackstone Army for? Isn't it just to make money, and you can eat and drink spicy food in the future?

Tempted by money, they threw away the fear in their letters, after all, they were the best of the outlaws, and they soon adjusted their mentality.

The array of Denlenburg troops that looked like a jungle of steel seemed indifferent to them, and the iron men who only showed a pair of eyes seemed nothing more than that in their minds.

The strong muscles on their bodies, which were still visible from their silhouettes even though they were covered by armor, and their height, which was basically a head taller than them due to their full nutrition, were all subconsciously ignored by the enemy.

Stimulated by money, they regarded the terrible enemy of the Denlenburg army, who was a head taller than them and a circle of strong, as lambs to be slaughtered at will, and this sentiment also spread among the Blackstone army on the city walls.

On the other side, the Iron Forest Legion is much more sensible, because in the Holy War battlefield, their casualties are much less than those of the Blackstone Army.

Therefore, there were not many recruits recruited, most of them had seen the strength of the Denlenburg army on the battlefield, and under the words and deeds of the veterans, they gave enough attention to the Denlenburg army.

Coupled with their fine traditions, fear is extinguished only for a moment.

They were already sitting on the walls with swords and shields in hand, and only a few were on the alert, otherwise the enemy would be doomed if they fired.

Under the encouragement and command of the officers, they no longer have a sense of fear of the upcoming battle, and of course, there is still nervousness.

Today, William did not intend to launch a direct onslaught, because that would inevitably result in heavy casualties, and the soldiers appeared under the castle just to put some pressure on the enemy.

The highlight of today's attack was the trebuchet and the carpet shooting of the archers and crossbowmen tonight.

Even the bed crossbow will be a murderous aura for today's attack on the enemy.

William rode his horse and looked at the tall castle in front of him, which was once the enemy he longed for, and he was also full of awe of this place during the time of King Brolin.

And in the time of King Hechard, awe turned to peace, and now, he actually led his army to the bottom of this castle, and the castle that was once out of reach seemed to be in his own hands.

As long as he exerts his strength, he can immediately own this castle that he once could not reach, and this dreamlike feeling makes William feel obsessed.

Soon, he was in a good mood, and he ordered the archers and crossbowmen who had been deployed on the wells to shoot.

In an instant, 6,000 archers and 3,000 crossbowmen shot arrows and crossbows at the same time.

The sound of the powerful pulley crossbow hanging knife clasp seemed to ring in William's ears, and the hum of the crossbow string sounded very pleasant.

The same is true of the archers, who replaced the rings with thick fur gloves, and the powerful arms of the bow drive the bowstring back to its original shape with a strong inertia, and under this powerful kinetic energy, the arrows will fly forward at a very fast speed, bringing a burst of sound through the air.

A rain of arrows and crossbows sent a screeching sound in the air that hurt the ears.

The Blackstone Army, who had not cared about it just now, suddenly changed color, and the dense and piercing sound of arrows made it difficult for them to imagine how many arrows there were.

In the past, when they were fighting, basically the long-range strength was only a soy sauce role, even the veterans who had stayed in the Blackstone Army for a long time and participated in many large-scale battles had never seen such a dense rain of arrows.

Not to mention the new recruits who have only participated in minor wars.

They subconsciously lie behind the battlements and then put their shields above their heads, because the wells are higher than the battlements, so the battlements may not be able to fully guarantee their own safety.

The Iron Forest Legion is relatively stronger than the Blackstone Army, and they themselves have some archers, so they are quite calm.

Hurriedly lay down under the battlements and linked the shield into an impermeable shield wall to defend against the attack of arrows.
