Chapter 34: The Breaking of the City

"See! This is the end! ”

The Overseer's cavalry retinue pointed their spears at the dead lying on the ground, and shouted at the deserters who were trying to escape: "Ahead, you still have hope of survival, and in the future, you will be greeted only by death!" ”

The deserters stopped, looking at the corpses in the place and they hesitated, they ran for their lives to survive, but now it seemed that this stupid act could not be realized, and now they had to think carefully about whether they should disobey the military orders on the battlefield.

"You useless barbarians! Give me all back! Offensive! ”

The old Overseer yelled behind him, the retreating soldiers gritted their teeth, no one knew who would fall in the next second, Ludinand's huge wooden gate was right in front of us, and the Burgundians were falling over our heads as if they were never running out. There are also large and small gravel, which is much more dangerous than those bows and arrows, and many people are inadvertently scooped by the stones falling from their heads.

"Fight! Fight! ”

The soldiers roared in despair, and with all their might, they thrust the siege cone under the gates of Ludinand. The soldier on the cart instead picked up the wooden handle inserted into the siege cone and pulled it back hard.

"Bang!"

It was the first impact, and Ludinand's gates were shaking.

"Don't be discouraged! Go on, kids, keep going! The old Overseer roared hoarsely, and despite the rubble and arrows on it, he ran to the front of the siege cone, which was Ludinand's gate, and waved his hand to personally direct the soldiers who were wielding the siege cone.

"Come, kids, pull! Pull to the back, okay, okay, put! ”

"Bang!"

The sharp tip of the siege cone fell again, and Ludinand's city gate shook violently again, and there was an obvious crack when it was knocked out, and it was vulnerable, and Lu Dinan's city gate was vulnerable. Many of the soldiers even cheered, and they all came up to help pull the siege cone, and under the unified command of the old Overseer Medeus, the soldiers mustered up their courage and shouted to pull the heavy siege cone.

"Gollum, Gollum......"

The sound of rolling water could be heard from the gatehouse on Ludy's south.

"Ha, Luga, you see, the Burgundians must be trembling on the other side of the wall now! Just waiting for us to pounce on them and tear them apart! Andrew waved his flag like an extreme fanatic, desperate for his shouts, completely ignoring the rubble above his head, which, oddly enough, was hiding from him as if it had eyes.

"For the sake of the great Marshal Aetius, rush!"

Andrew was not satisfied, he still wanted to push away the soldiers in front of him, rush to the city gate, and wanted to be the first to rush into the city.

"Danger! You lunatic! "As soon as I pulled him back, it wasn't enough, I pounced on him in two of three steps, grabbed the old Overseer Medeus by the arm, and jerked him back.

"Whoa!"

At this moment, a huge waterfall was pulled up from the gatehouse, but this waterfall was not composed of water, but boiling oil.

In broad daylight, the torture that exterminates humanity is unreservedly displayed in front of us, and there is nothing I can do to save other people. The waterfall-like boiling oil poured down in an instant, drowning the soldiers who had not had time to retreat.

They struggled under the pouring oil, but soon they were pushed to the ground by the boiling oil, and the core of the oil that splashed on the ground fell on my hand, and I felt like I had been pricked by a needle, and the soldier who had been poured with oil was probably dying even if he was rescued.

The boiling oil on the gatehouse was quickly emptied, and there were still a few soldiers wriggling in the oil and water under the gate (sorry I can only describe the wriggling, because they were burned and lost their human form, and the skin on the surface was melted), and more directly died, and there was a smell of fried meat floating in the air, and the flesh of those soldiers was scalded.

"Wow......"

A few people around him all knelt down and vomited, and everyone's stupidity stood in place, no one dared to save such a hideous and terrifying thing.

"Thank you, kid, for saving me again?!"

Old Overseer Medeus patted me on the shoulder, and saw that my eyes were full of gratitude, for he knew that if I didn't bring him back, he would end up like a bad man who had been scalded.

"Say nothing more, sir, give the order for the siege!"

I said, quickly covering my mouth and nose, such a disgusting smell stirred my stomach upside down, I can't wait to leave such a horrible place.

"As you wish."

The old Overseer's hoarse voice could no longer scream, and he picked up the wooden whistle he wore on his chest and muttered, "I hope this thing works." ”

"Hoohoo, hoohoo!"

Medeus blew the wooden whistle, and this time it was a little better, and the surrounding soldiers turned their eyes to Medeus.

"We have no way back!"

Medeus whispered, and personally stepped forward and grabbed the handle at the front of the siege cone, "Come on, one last time, work!" The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed behind Medeus and grabbed one handle after another, and with all their strength, slowly pulled back.

"Dangdangdang......"

A loud voice sounded from behind him, and when he looked up, he saw dozens of huge flints passing overhead.

"Boom, boom!"

The fiery boulders crashed against the tall walls of Ludinand, and the towers above the gatehouse were pierced and collapsed by the fiery boulders, and a large amount of rubble fell above our heads.

"Stand back, stand back!"

The huge debris that fell fell on the battering cone, but fortunately, the siege cone was covered with iron sheets, and the boulder bounced off and rolled to the side.

β€œshit! Don't they know we're still down there? ”

"Don't think about it, we're just here to open the gates."

"Don't talk nonsense, go make the siege cone, if we don't hurry, we'll all have to be buried!"

"Quick, pull back, pull !!"

The soldiers pulled the siege cone, all the way to the end, everyone blushed, this siege cone has involved the lives of all our siege soldiers.

"Put !!"

"Drink!!"

The soldiers unleashed their hands, and the battering cone slammed into Ludinand's gates like a brown shadow.

"Huh!"

I heard the sound of the wood breaking, and the siege cone forcibly tore a big hole in the city gate, and the city gate, which was already vulnerable, opened with a "boom".

"It's on! It's on! ”

The soldiers raised their hands and cheered, but they did not rejoice long before they stopped. The gates opened, and the scenery inside was unobstructed, except for the iron spearheads and helmets, which shone with a dazzling silver light in the reflection of the sun.

The army of the Burgundians, lined up on the other side of the gate, their eyes bursting with angry flames. They line up to form a human wall. It seems that they are going to be another line of defense for the city.
