Tomorrow is Christmas, and today is the sixth day of the siege of the city of Lebor by the Saxon legion.

On this day, as soon as the sky was dark, the Saxon army launched a frantic offensive.

The two siege vehicles slowly advanced like savage beasts, the main body of the siege vehicle was about seven meters high, and it was made of thick logs.

The noodles are also covered with several layers of thick cowhide.

The main body protrudes upwards from the plank bridge about 20 meters long, the plank is about 2 meters wide, and there is a movable hinge in the center, when it reaches a suitable distance, the rope is loosened, and the plank wall will fall forward and be placed on the city wall.

More than 20 Saxon soldiers hid behind the siege engine, pushing the car forward slowly, and the huge wooden wheels with a diameter of two meters creaked over the snow, little by little close to the walls of the city of Leber.

Eugen stood on the city wall and watched this scene with a frown, the other party even took out such things as siege vehicles, it seems that there will be a fierce battle today.

The two siege engines approached the city wall from the left and right sides, and the Saxon legion concentrated all its forces on one side, apparently determined to break the city directly.

On the city walls, the archers of the guards kept shooting arrows to prevent the siege caravans from approaching, but the Saxon soldiers were all hiding behind the vehicles, and such an attack had little effect.

The appearance of these two huge machines seemed to herald the arrival of a fierce battle, and today, the eyes of every Saxon soldier were faintly red, like hungry monsters who chose to devour people, staring at the guards on the city walls.

A pair of Saxon soldiers slowly pressed behind the siege engine, the atmosphere before the battle seemed to freeze the air, everyone's breathing involuntarily slowed down, and the spirit was also in a high tension.

Finally, the siege engine reached a distance of about ten meters in front of the city wall, and the two Saxon soldiers swung their knives together to cut the ropes on the siege engine, and the plank bridge fell forward by inertia.

With a loud bang, the wooden plank wall smashed firmly on the city wall, and the dull sound seemed to ring the bell and drum of the battle, and the shouting of killing suddenly resounded throughout the city wall.

The murderous Saxon infantry, each carrying a huge kite-shaped shield covering most of his body, walked up the wooden staircase behind the siege engine to the plank wall, the shield formed a semicircle in front of them, and then quickly rushed towards the wall.

"Kill!!" The archers of the garrison roared, and arrows flew like delicate nails towards the Saxon soldiers.

With a bang, the arrow was nailed to the kite-shaped shield, and the piercing shield stretched out with a small tip forward, and it was no longer able to break through.

With the help of shields, the Saxon infantry quickly stepped over the nearly ten-meter wooden wall and rushed to the front of the wall to slash and slash.

They were greeted by the spear tips of the captain's spearmen, and the sturdy members of the guards raised their spears and stabbed them into the ankles of the Saxon infantry, where there was no shield cover, a flaw that could not be covered.

"Block it for me, pikemen and infantry are blocked, and the archers are free to fire!" Eugen also had red eyes at this time, and roared loudly to direct the soldiers to act.

Saxon soldiers were constantly wounded and fell off the plank wall, and as soon as they attacked, they were met head-on, but the Saxon soldiers continued to climb on siege engines and attack the city wall like a tidal wave.

Saxony's archers also took part in the daytime battle, remaining outside the walls and firing back at the archers of the garrison to cover the offensive of their own infantry.

From the very beginning, the battle was at its most intense, with people falling at every turn, observing the casualties, and for the time being, the defenders had the upper hand, but once the walls were breached, the situation would soon be reversed.

In addition to the siege vehicles, there were also a group of five or six soldiers, carrying a ladder more than ten meters long on their shoulders, rushing to the front of the city wall, setting up the ladder and starting to climb.

There were hundreds of such ladders, and the Saxon soldiers were like ants for a while, looking for holes in the city walls, and climbing frantically at every opportunity.

"It's time, the first formation listens to the order and throws the powder keg!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Eugen immediately ordered loudly.

The soldiers who received the order hurriedly picked up the baby-sized powder kegs from the side, lit the fuses and threw them under the city walls.

Boom Boom!

A series of explosions rang out, and a canopy of flames seemed to rise in front of the city wall, enveloping all the Saxon soldiers who remained near the city wall.

The largest stock in the warehouse in Lebor City was gunpowder, which Margaret had prepared for Eugen's plan before, but she didn't expect it to play a huge role now.

The powder keg was wrapped in wood and when ignited, it would only form a flame, which was not a great threat to stone structures such as city walls, but it was extremely powerful against soldiers.

At this moment, hundreds of small powder kegs were thrown down, and the effect was immediate, and the armor of the Saxon soldiers was ignited by the flames, and they rolled and fell down with a scream.

The flames that surround you can burn a soldier to the ground in a short period of time, completely incapacitating him for battle.

But beneath their feet was the ice of the moat, and when the Saxon soldiers on fire fell to the ground, they rolled violently on the ice, and a puff of water rose from their bodies, and most of the flames were extinguished.

Seeing this situation, Eugen suddenly frowned, they have prepared a lot of powder kegs, and attacks like this can be carried out at least five times, but in the current weather conditions, the effect of powder kegs has also been somewhat suppressed.

Fierce flames fell on the frozen moat below, and the ice surface suddenly melted away a little, and a layer of water stained appeared.

Seeing this scene, Eugen's eyes flashed with some light, as if he thought of something.

Crash! More than a dozen ladders were blown up by powder kegs, and the Saxon soldiers' offensive was immediately delayed, and the two huge siege engines were also under the scrutiny of powder kegs, and the sturdy logs were scorched and blackened, and the ropes and cowhides wrapped around them began to burn, but such an attack was not enough to destroy the big guy.

Seeing this scene, Corleone, who was in the rear of the Saxon army, showed a cold smile and said softly: "Hehe, Eugen, do you think you know how to use gunpowder?" Speaking of which, you taught me, now take a look at the gift I have prepared for you! ”

With a wave of his hand, Corleone followed the group towards the wall, carrying huge cloth bags, which looked bulging, and a little black powder spilled from the cracks in the cloth bags.

The soldiers mingled inconspicuously in the crowd, and Eugen did not notice them.
