This weakness is the part where the two plank bridges are connected, and the other parts of the siege tower are very clumsy, relying on thick wooden strips and iron plates to build, which is very difficult to destroy, only this connection point is supported by a relatively fine hinge.

Moreover, in order not to affect the use, the hinge itself cannot be protected with wooden planks, which also gives the guards a chance to attack.

As soon as the plank bridge was erected on the wall, the guards who had been waiting there immediately counterattacked, in order to get close to the connecting shaft.

At that time, each of them carried several small bulging gunpowder bags that were stuffed, and rushed to the vicinity of the hinge against the attack of the Saxon soldiers, and several soldiers immediately piled the gunpowder bags on the gap between the plank bridge and the main body of the siege tower, clinging to the weak hinge.

The same was true for both siege towers, and as soon as the gunpowder was arranged, the captain of the infantry squad lit the fuse of the gunpowder, completely disregarding his own safety.

Long before the operation, Eugen had emphasized the danger of this mission, and now that these two squads were killed, they were holding the belief that they would die, and no one planned to return alive.

The captain of one of the squads was none other than the members of the reef squad on the city walls, Old John.

The reason why John Sr. took such a risk was Eugen's promise: all the soldiers who participated in this mission, their children could choose one of their children to become Eugen's personal attendant.

It was a great honor to be an earl's attendant, and it was a great opportunity for these poor citizens to ascend to the sky.

If it succeeded, old John would no longer have to worry about food and clothing for the family, and the whole family would be able to live a prosperous life with the help of the earl's attendant.

In this case, Old John resolutely stood up, he has lived long enough, and a handful of old bones can't last a few years, in this case, it is better to seize this opportunity to open up a bright future for his children and families.

Standing on the bridge, Old John did not hesitate, and directly put the tinder in his hand into the explosives bag.

"It's just a pity that I didn't hear Natasha call Daddy."

The moment before the fire and the dynamite bag came into contact, Old John's face showed a loving smile, and his eyes flashed with a gentle light, and the red flame reflected in his cloudy eyes, like a little light in the boundless darkness, giving hope and shining brightly.

Rumble!

The rose formed by the fire bloomed in front of his eyes, and a huge flame flower bone devoured him, and then the violent wave of qi hit Old John's body fiercely, he seemed to be slapped by the tail fin of a giant whale, and the whole person flew up in the air, fell backwards for a distance of more than ten meters, and then fell heavily from a height of nearly ten meters above the ground in a square manor in the new city.

There were thick snowflakes in the small manor, and old John had already passed out the moment he flew up, and after smashing a large man-shaped pit in the snow in the manor, he was completely silent.

With the roar of gunpowder, there was a tooth-aching creak at the joints of the battering tower's wooden walls, accompanied by the crisp sound of iron bars snapping.

Immediately afterwards, there was another roar of heavy objects falling to the ground, and I saw the wooden plank that was erected on the city wall, pointing diagonally to the ground and falling downward, slamming into the ground, stirring up a burst of snowflakes to churn in the air.

The Saxon soldiers surrounding the neighborhood stared blankly at the scene in front of them, a little unable to believe their eyes, they could never have imagined that such a thick and strong siege tower would be so completely destroyed by the enemy.

Now the plank bridge is broken, and the siege tower is completely abandoned, and it can no longer be of any use.

Tariq, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw this scene, and his eyes were even darker, he couldn't imagine that the situation would develop like this, and now that he was thinking about it, he just wanted to slap himself hard.

It was unusual for the defenders of the city to counterattack, and he should have thought carefully about whether there was any conspiracy involved, but unfortunately he was still immersed in his contempt for Eugen's arrogance at that time, and he did not think about it at all.

Now that the form has changed sharply, his bowels are really repentant.

The Saxon soldiers on the battlefield finally understood what was happening in front of them, and at the same time they were shocked, but also a great anger rose, and they vented all their anger on the soldiers of the city guard who fell to the ground along with the plank bridge.

The soldiers were all members of the death squad, and they followed Old John on their mission, but they stood on the plank bridge to avoid the impact of gunpowder and were not thrown out.

At this moment, they had just fallen from a height of ten meters into the air and were in a dizzy state, when they were fiercely besieged by a large number of Saxon soldiers.

Several soldiers were like two small pebbles that fell into the sea, and they were directly beheaded without even splashing in the water.

The Saxon soldiers were not yet discouraged, and they slashed at the corpses again, but unfortunately now that the plank bridge had been broken, they could not change the fact that they had chopped these people into pulp.

There was some accident in the other siege tower next to it, and the gunpowder prepared did not completely blow up the connection, and barely maintained a trace of connection.

The death squad on the mission took the opportunity to retreat back to the city wall, anyway, the gunpowder had been dropped, and their mission was accomplished, and the retreat was reasonable.

The remaining connections of the plank bridge were extremely weak, and they were a little crumbling when they evacuated, and they could not withstand the trampling of the brigade of soldiers.

As a result, the siege tower was temporarily scrapped and unusable by the Saxon soldiers, and the squad also completed its mission.

The siege towers were destroyed, and all the Saxon soldiers' attacks were concentrated on those ladders, which were much inferior to the siege towers, but they were sufficient, after all, they still had a numerical advantage.

Seeing this scene, Eugen showed an indifferent smile on his face, and said to Allen, who was guarding beside him: "Okay, order the soldiers, you can launch the preset attack, and tell Simon to bring two new muskets over." ”

Eren agreed, and wanted to go down from the city tower to give an order, Eugen hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped Alan and said: "Well, in addition, send two more teams from the left border area of the city wall to the right to secretly protect the soldier Corleone, if he dies in this battle, it will be too boring." ”

Hearing this, Alan glanced back at Eugen, frowned and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all, just nodded, and turned around and walked down the tower.
