Putting aside the rest, there is a prerequisite for the implementation of this kind of thing, which does not even have a shadow now, and that is to win a great victory in this battle.

Despite the fact that Artoria's current defensive strategy is not like a man, Randy doesn't care about what others say.

"At least it makes you look like a woman!" Randy shot back, and when it came to quarreling, Randy really wasn't afraid of anyone.

"Do you believe that I'm going to rebel with the Celts right now?"

"Hehe, do you still want to experience the feeling of starving to death in the Welsh mountains?"

"I wonder who escaped like a rabbit on the banks of the Thames at that time?"

"The last one to conquer your country,"

"Do you want to die?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

Whenever the conversation progresses, Artoria snorts and turns her head away from talking, and Randy inwardly appreciates her ingenuity, saying that this is the most correct way to use the Libra Ring.

That's right! Libra ring, not a deteriorated version of the Libra ring.

After nearly a year of investigation, Randy felt that the possibility of Artoria rebelling against him was equivalent to zero, so he gritted his teeth and exchanged the few points he had left for a genuine Libra ring, and quietly changed the ring while Artoria was bathing.

Randy knew very well why Artoria was angry at her.

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is because of his sister Aurora.

This cheap sister doesn't seem to want to leave after she comes, and Randy seems to trust her very much, and what makes Artoria even more unacceptable is that the other party is actually smarter than herself, and she is extremely talented in governing the country.

"Forget it, after I go back, improve the central management system."

October 28, 1101 A.D.......

On a rare sunny day, Władysław II seized the opportunity to take out all the ladders he had made before, and prepared to attack the city.

Władysław naturally did not understand what a Star Fort was, what was crossfire, what was long-range fire,

With the intelligence of the barbarians, even if they are told, they will not understand.

Although they thought the wooden castle in front of them was very strange, they only felt strange, and they didn't see the doorway at all.

But Madisław II was also a man who had seen the world, and vaguely felt that this fortress seemed to be unusual, so he decided to save a hand and make a little test to make the right attack plan.

With a wave of his hand, the king of the United Kingdom dismounted two hundred Polish knights, plus one hundred of his own direct Polish guards, a total of three hundred hoplites dressed in heavy chain mail and armed with long swords and kite-shaped shields, and rushed to the opposite side with their promiscuous siege ramming.

And beside these elite soldiers, a large number of conscripted peasant soldiers, hired shield spearmen, professional shield spearmen, and a series of cannon fodder troops also pulled the ladder and rushed to the opposite side.

Although it was a tentative attack, this round of attack also included more than 3,000 professional troops, mercenaries and conscripted militiamen, including 300 elite knights.

Although it was a temptation, Władysław II also had the idea of destroying the enemy in one fell swoop.

But this idea was self-defeating after a few seconds.

When the three thousand tigers of the United Kingdom pushed the carts and carried the ladders and shouted loudly, charging towards the wooden fort opposite, the first thing they were greeted was a round of stone and ballista attacks, this time in order to pursue a large number of casualties, these heavy catapults deployed at the head of the city of Riga were all loaded with scattered small stones, and the range and coverage were greatly improved.

However, it is said to be a small stone, which is almost the size of a fist, and it can also open a person when it hits the head, and some tragedies who do not wear helmets are directly beaten and cracked.

The so-called ballista with thick arms, the front is flat like a sapper shovel, this thing is much more lethal than broken stone, flying directly from top to bottom angle, hitting the opposite side of the place can lie down a pile of headless corpses, even if it hits the body, you can wear several sugar gourds.

At this time, there were no tactics such as straggler arrays, creeping forwards, and finding cover. It came up in a dense formation, and long-range attacks could naturally give full play to their greatest advantages, and a round of bombardment such as catapults and city defense crossbows directly caused the loss of nearly one-fifth of the three thousand vanguard troops of the United Kingdom.

However, the soldiers of the United Kingdom, with the blessing of the alliance of the highest nobles, are still very high in morale and advance quickly.

They were greeted by a rain of arrows woven by crossbowmen and longbowmen.

The crossbowmen were still in three columns, standing on top of the walls.

One group approached the city walls, relying on the battlements to shoot downward.

After firing, they quickly retreated, and the second group of crossbowmen fired forward.

The third group took a step forward, and the first group went directly to the position of the third group and began to load the crossbows.

It's still the legendary three-stage shooter!

The longbowmen stood under the wooden wall and threw them, because the wooden wall was only three meters high, the impact on the longbowmen was not very great, and it was nothing if they couldn't see the target, anyway, the opponent was not in a dense formation, coupled with the gravitational acceleration from top to bottom, the attack of the longbowmen was not affected too much.

In this way, a dense network of crossfire formed by a salvo of bows and crossbows like a torrential rain covered the entire array of enemy infantry, causing the United Kingdom heavy losses.

In a matter of moments, the enemy had not even reached the wall before half of it fell.

The rest of the enemies all reacted and raised their shields to protect their heads, but there was still the tragedy of being hit by stray arrows, and with the catapults and crossbows, which can ignore shields, the enemy had just arrived at the wooden fort with the ladder, and there were less than a thousand people left.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Seeing the heavy losses of his own vanguard, Władysław II gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to order his army to retreat.

Seeing the enemy fleeing in disgrace, Randy did not order the pursuit, and bursts of cheers broke out in the city, because of Randy's order, the Norman soldiers did not continue to shoot the water dogs, but this did not make Wladyslaw II feel better, seeing the rude Norman soldiers cheering on the city, insulting everyone in the United Kingdom with foul language, and some even took off their pants and peed down.

This is so deceitful!

Seeing such a barbaric and rude provocation by the Normans, the knights and nobles of the United Kingdom almost burst their lungs, and demanded in unison that the king continue to send heavy troops to kill those bastards.

Seeing that the army under his command was not demoralized because of the previous defeat, but rushed to rush over and continue to send him to death, Władysław II sighed in his heart and did not agree to continue to send troops.

That's right, it's to die!

In this offensive and defensive battle just now, the fighting power of the Normans made the king of the United Kingdom quite jealous, and now he also somewhat understands the benefits of this strange defense system.

The whole wooden fort forms a 120-degree arc, and all of it stretches and shrinks with spike-like water chestnuts, which envelops the entire southern wall of Riga City.

"It's not easy, it's not easy,"

Władysław nodded repeatedly, but he glanced at his opponent, and then ordered: "Get around, attack the other walls, and concentrate shields and helmets for the besieging troops to use." ”

Seeing that the time had reached the afternoon, the spies of the other three city walls came to report, and the opposing troops began to assemble on the periphery of the range of the other sides, the stone throwers and city defense crossbows, and Randy knew that although there was no winner in this round, the legendary Star Castle was very strong in combat, there was no doubt about it.

So, Randy opened Enides, looked at the more than 300,000 gold coins on it, and spent 200,000 ruthlessly to upgrade Oslo to a Star Castle Fortress, and then built a two-layer Star Castle defense system for Gothenburg, and contacted Aurora to ask her to agree to the previous request of the Swedish merchants to open a port in Gothenburg for trade, and only collect half of the prescribed commercial tax within half a year, so as to attract merchants.

In addition, Randy still has a small amount of 50,000 or 60,000 left, although the British city is still waiting for this money to develop, but Randy only plans to leave 10,000 at the bottom, and use all the remaining 40,000, and recruit five thousand mercenary spearmen in various places, and order General Carter to transport reinforcements.

Since the start of the war, Randy's naval superiority has once again been on display.

After the entire Öresund waterway was blocked, it was directly looted, and none of the merchant ships of Novgorod and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania were allowed to pass, and they were directly detained with people and ships, and everything except for some daily necessities was robbed.

Randy made a lot of extra money......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Randy stood at the head of the city on the west side of Riga yawning, thinking to himself that if he didn't attack the city, it would be dark.

Perhaps Randy's complaint was heard by God, and Randy yawned again, and was about to go to the guardhouse of the castle tower to squint for a while, when Artoria next to him poked him.

Randy immediately pulled out his binoculars and saw a large pile of heads on the other side with their shields raised from the range of their crossbows.

But these are not the most important, the most important thing is that after the rush, which was so big and big that it looked like three big trees tied together, I couldn't help but whistle.

"How?" Artoria asked.

"Rocket!" Randy ordered briefly.

"It's useless, don't you see?" Artoria reminded.

"Huh? Is the other person carrying a bucket in his hand? ”

"That's right!"

Randy looked at such a large one without a baffle, it looked extremely crudely made, but he spent a lot of money on the battering ram wrapped in a layer of iron in front of him, and felt a little speechless, this thing looks like it can be destroyed with a catapult, anyway, try it first.

So Randy gave an order, and the engineers on the city wall on this side began to manipulate the city defense machinery and throw stones at the huge battering ram, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

Although several United Kingdom soldiers were accidentally killed by stone, the opponent's battering ram only shook a few times, and it didn't seem to be anything.

Surprisingly sturdy !!!

The most suitable for the other side of the city wall also came to the news, the other side dispatched an extremely thick battering ram, whether it is a longbow rocket or a catapult, there is no effect, plus the hit rate of the city defense crossbow is too low, so ......

"Prepare the oil!"

Randy rolled his eyes and ordered a little reluctantly, thinking that this time he was going to break the bank again.

The opponent's battering ram advanced for more than ten minutes, during which the Normans desperately drew their bows and arrows, desperately threw stones, and desperately used city defense crossbows, which finally had some effect.

After the battering ram to the north was hit by the ballista several times, Caracalla dissolved into a pile of fragments with a few sounds, and then the soldiers of the United Kingdom, like ants being taken away from them, retreated in a panic.

But there are two other ways......

After a few more minutes, the battering ram was dragged by hundreds of soldiers and made it to the city gate, where they were greeted by boiling oil, listening to the screams of the fried enemies below, Randy said that he would continue to set fires.

A lot of rockets, torches, more boiling oil were thrown down.

The entire city gate became a sea of fire, and under such difficult conditions, the soldiers of the United Kingdom gritted their teeth, ignored the obstruction of the fire and slammed the city gate with all their might, and even some of the soldiers who were burned with oil and flesh and bones were exposed, as if unconsciously pushing the battering rams.

One time......

Double-click......

Three times ......

The latches of the gates were soon overwhelmed and broken in two.

Accompanied by the cheers of the soldiers of the United Kingdom, as well as the cheers of the Norman soldiers.

Shing mun...... It's broken!

But the corners of Randy's mouth turned up, and he didn't look anxious at all.

Randy is so fearless, he naturally has his support.

That is, the legendary Celestial Empire, in a long, long history of evolution, invented an extremely obscene invention, nominally able to increase defense, but in fact the invention of the pit man.

Urn City !!!

Urn!!!!!

There is a male character on the top and a tile character on the bottom.

It means that I put you in a vat and cook you, something like that.

As it is now, in the midst of cheers, the soldiers of the United Kingdom shouted loudly, raised their long contradictory signs and charged the city of Riga, and the follow-up troops continued to pour in, but soon ran into a wall.

They couldn't think of why? Why is that?

Why is there another wall behind the wall?

Even if it is divided into an inner city and an outer city, such an outer city is too small, right?

And the inhabitants are not visible at all, so who do we rob?

What was the purpose of the first to climb the city walls? Isn't it just for the pleasure of robbery?

Just when the soldiers of the United Kingdom pondered, they heard a gear sound behind Carrara, and the city gate behind them suddenly lowered a jack gate made of cooked copper, and there was neither Li Yuanba nor Liangshan 108 generals among the soldiers of the United Kingdom, so they could only watch the jack gate fall down and become a turtle in the urn, looking at the nearly ten-meter-high city wall around and staring speechlessly.

"Pour oil!"

Randy was completely gone, hundreds of barrels of various oil were dumped, rocks were thrown frantically, rockets were fired, and thousands of United Kingdom soldiers below were screaming, and there was no way to enter the heavens and the earth.

And the reinforcements who still stayed outside the city walls and were ready to enter the city also reacted, listening to the voices made by humans who were not in the city, and felt creepy at the same time, most of them understood something, the specific things were not very clear, but one thing was certain, they were cheated by someone.

At this moment, the soldiers of the United Kingdom believed that they had broken through the gates of the other side, so they did not carry any decent siege equipment, and could not even continue the attack.

But isn't there a very thick and long engineering hammer next to it?

But when you look at it, this is like a battering ram that has long been burned out!
