As soon as Ziggy finished speaking, Noki Cave, who was sitting next to Ren Phenol, shook his head, "This is really inappropriate, once we take the opportunity to break through, the army that went to block the first military camp will immediately find out, and when the time comes, they will directly block us." This is a very inappropriate plan and needs to be cautious." Noki Kraft is polite enough, Ziggy's method is not only inappropriate, it is simply full of loopholes, if you really want to use Ziggy's method, I don't know how many brothers will have to die.

Ziggy was very displeased, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to say sullenly, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you can tell me what to do, you can't stay here forever, right?" Ziggy wanted to be embarrassed by Noki Cave, but he never thought that Noki Cave really had some ideas, and said slowly, "General, in fact, the last general has a plan that can be tried, and when the Germans attack the city, we will try to ensure that the opponent's armor is intact, and then find an opportunity to fish in troubled waters." As long as we mess up the Germans, we have a lot of chances to rush out. ”

How to find opportunities, it is necessary to act on the opportunity, and after thinking about it, it seems that only Noki Kraft's method is the most reliable. There was not much time left for Jerusha and the others to prepare, and only three days later, when the wind outside had weakened considerably, Lothair appeared near Vilnius with tens of thousands of Germanic soldiers. After some discussion, Lothair divided his troops into three parts, the first of which was 5,000 men to set up an ambush on the west to prevent the defenders of the city from escaping, the other to encircle Vilnius, and the last to camp in the east to defend against the first army camp. Looking at the towering city wall in front of them, the Germans all felt an inexplicable pressure, attacking Vilnius, I'm afraid there will be no good end, Lothair frowned, he didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him for a while, and he didn't expect Vilnius City to be so easy to defend and difficult to attack before he came. The battlements are mainly bluestone, depending on the situation, they have increased a lot, the city has not been idle during this time, the city wall is about four zhang high after the addition, there are shooting holes everywhere behind the battlements, most of the siege equipment prepared before is prepared in accordance with the three zhangs, and now most of them are not used, and they can only seize the time to transform. The suppression of bows and arrows on the head of the city is also a big problem, and after observing for a long time, Lothair still decided not to attack the city for the time being, "Lord Suggs, please lead the troops to the east of the Foyan Ridge to garrison, as long as the people from the first military camp come, ambush on the spot, and do not let them join the Vilnius garrison." ”

Sugus's eyes changed, and he asked with some doubts, "Your Majesty Lothair, aren't we going to attack the city today?" "Sugus didn't want to delay too long, the people of the First Battalion could arrive at any time, and time was everything to the Germans.

"Today can not attack the city, you can take a closer look at the situation on the city, there is hidden smoke and fire, the enemy army is hiding behind the battlements, it is estimated that a large amount of rolling wood oil and arrows have been prepared, and our ladder is only a little more than three zhang, can not reach the city, in this case, the strong attack will definitely be fruitless, or don't do unnecessary casualties." As long as you hold the Foyan Ridge, Vilnius City will not be able to run" Lothair handed the clairvoyant mirror to Suggs, Suggs is no stranger to the clairvoyant mirror, the clairvoyant mirror is a sharp weapon for the Orientals to observe the battlefield, the production is not complicated, the Holy Empire has also copied some, through the clairvoyant mirror, the scene of the city head is unobstructed, and Suggs's expression slowly became solemn. As Lothair said, there were not many guards at the head of the city, all of them huddled behind the battlements, and seemed to have confidence in defending the city. There was one thing that Lothair and Sugus were mistaken, and the city was not boiling with oil, but with boiling water.

On Lothair's orders, the Germans slowly retreated and camped five miles outside the city, fearing a surprise attack in the middle of the night, so they simply moved the camp farther away. Jerusha didn't expect the Germans to be so cautious, through the clairglass, they could only see vague shadows, what the hell, running so far to camp, isn't it a bit too cautious? Prepared so many things to defend the city, all of them were useless, Keno Kaeff's old face darkened, and he clenched his fists and slammed it out, but it hit the air, "General, are these Germans scared out of their hearts?" actually took the initiative to withdraw, so what should we do with the things we prepared and move them again? ”

Jerusha brushed the messy hair on his forehead, he didn't know when it was dyed with water vapor, and at this time he had turned into ice slag, looking at the ice slag in his hand, and suddenly a thought came to him, "Lower the temperature of the water, pour it all on the city wall, and let people carry water up, preferably cold water." Hey, I didn't expect the weather to be so cold in Vilnius, tonight we'll freeze the walls into a wall of ice. ”

Noki Kraft and the others all showed surprise, in fact, this idea is not clever, as long as you pay close attention, anyone can think of it. If the walls become slippery and untouched, it will be a great disaster for the besieging side. At night, although the Germans sent scouts to keep an eye on the movement on the city walls, they were wary of whether the city would be attacked or not, and they did not care about the movements on the city head. It was cold and dark, and I couldn't see what was going on in the city. Taking advantage of the night, the defenders of the city started to work at sheath, and Jerusha mobilized the soldiers and civilians in the city, and sent buckets of water to them, all of which were poured on the city walls, in order to surprise the Germans, Jerusha led people to work for most of the night.

The next day, just after dawn, Lothair was woken up by his own guards, all of whom had pale faces, as if they had just been pulled out of the room. Early in the morning, I was in a bad mood, if I hadn't heard that it was quiet outside, I would have thought that the Vilnius garrison had called, "Look at your panicked appearances, what kind of system have you become, what happened to you?" ”

"Your Majesty, this.... You'd better go and see for yourself," the soldier swallowed, wrapping the prepared fur around Lothair. Lothair was very puzzled, curious, hastily washed his face, and followed his soldiers to the outside of the camp. At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing on the high slope outside the camp, Suggs, Bysel and others were impressively in the ranks, and when they saw Lothair's arrival, everyone smiled bitterly, took the clairvoyant mirror and glanced at Vilnius City, and Lothair's whole person exploded. At this time, the warm sun was rising, and the sun shone on the walls of Vilnius, emitting a faint light, and overnight, the city walls seemed to be covered with a layer of glazed ice crystals, this scene Lothair knew too well, and when he fled back from Phoenix City after the failure of the Eastern Crusade, he saw this kind of scene not less. It was a thick layer of ice, wrapping the city wall, the originally neat city wall, obviously protruding a piece, in a short period of time, a wall of ice appeared in front of me. Lothair's lips trembled, how could he forget this stubble? The ghost weather in the Istrian Heights, you can freeze into sticks when you pee at night, and the Vilnius garrison froze the city walls into this ghostly look, and I don't know how much more difficult it is to attack the city for a while, "Damn Slavs, it must be their bad idea." ”

If Noki Kraft could have heard it, he would have cried out, and this idea was really Jerusha's own idea. Besides, the two armies are facing each other, and the goal is victory, who cares if the idea is damaged or not? Bysil gritted his teeth, frowned and spat viciously, "Your Majesty Lothair, no matter what, we have to attack the city, it is better to wait and launch a fierce attack while the ice and snow melt in the afternoon, it will not do us any good if it drags on for a long time." ”

Lothair could only nod in agreement, but even so, it was already a lot of lost time, from midnight to noon, there was nothing to do in two hours, it was not impossible to climb forcibly, but the price would be great, even if the Germanic warriors were not afraid of death, but they could not make fearless sacrifices. Lothair was overshadowed, and naturally he was in a bad mood, so he had all the trebuchets he had prepared brought up, and there was a wild bombardment on the city. The Dingguo army defending the city had already prepared, and as soon as they saw the trebuchets behind the battlements, the trebuchets never stopped from the beginning of the day, and behind the battlements, they saw a large number of messy things flying overhead, such as dirt, stinky cow dung, broken stones, in short, all the things that could be used near Vilnius were thrown up. Lothair, not knowing whose bad idea, boiled the cow dung in hot water, packed it in clay pots, and sent it all to the city, and this time, the soldiers of the city could not stand it anymore. Noki Kraft and Ren Phenol hid in the makeshift command post, chatting with each other, "Noki Kraft, when did you say the trebuchet outside was a head?" The Germans were stimulated, simply at any cost. ”

Noki Kraft looked relaxed and smiled nonchalantly, "No matter what you do, the more the Germans are like this, the more they prove that they have nothing to do with us, and this is a sign of impatience." However, the ice usually melts after noon, and it is expected that the Germans will take advantage of the opportunity to attack." Before he finished speaking, a crackling sound was heard, and at the same time, there was a flurry of invectives on the city. The trebuchet has been in a frenzy for so long, and he has never heard the soldiers scold, Ren Feng raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart, and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but before the person stood up, there was a snap, something fell on the roof of the command post, and it didn't take long for some black liquid to flow down the gap. Noki Kraft was standing under the crack, the liquid all fell on top of his head, and suddenly a foul smell filled the entire command post, Noki Kraft's throat moved, and he lay on the barrel next to him and vomited wildly. It's actually cow dung soup, thinking that he Noki Kraft has been fighting for so many years, and now he has no cow dung soup to pour on his head.

Ren Phenol's face is not very good-looking, although he is not as unlucky as Noki Kraft, but there is still a lot of dung soup on his body, and he finally understands why the brothers outside are scolding, all of them are dung soup. Enduring the nausea, Ren Phenol pinched his nose and walked out of the command post, originally wanting to breathe fresh air, but the smell outside was more pungent than the smell of the command post, and the city was black and white, like a huge dung pit. Many soldiers have been stimulated by the pungent smell of tears, some people really can't bear this kind of blow, poking their heads out and scolding at the city, "The coward raised by the son of a bitch, you have the ability to attack the city, grandpa is stripped naked and waiting for you." ”

While scolding, this Slavic strong man really took off his coat, smashed his chest with his big fist, and made a bang, and Ren Feng hung three black lines on his forehead, if he was tossed like this, the soldiers would not be tossed crazy? At this time, Nokicalf also vomited his stomach, crawled out of the command post with a scorched face, and as soon as he came out of the house, he lay on the ground and said viciously, "General Ren, we must fight back, pull up the prepared crossbows, and destroy those trebuchets, the Germans are the most wary at this time, and we must teach them a lesson." ”

Those crossbows were used to deal with the ramming wood, and now they are used against trebuchets, which is a bit wasteful. But apart from this method, Ren Phenol couldn't think of any good countermeasures in a short time, so he had to ask people to pull the crossbow with a bitter face. The crossbow has been prepared under the city, and five people can move a crossbow over, and everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and soon more than a dozen crossbows are assembled, Ren Pheno pulled out his saber and roared with a cold face, "Aim at the trebuchet under the city, and destroy these evil things." ”

The trebuchet throws heavy objects powerfully, but the range has not been as good as the crossbow, not to mention that the crossbow is condescending and has a longer range, which can completely cover the trebuchet. A crossbow arrow was shot out violently, only to see a cold light piercing the sky under the sun, the crossbow arrow was tied to gunpowder, the fuse was burning, and it accurately hit a trebuchet, the arrow pierced into the trebuchet, and with a bang, the two evil trebuchets were blown apart. The Germanic people who were busy around were shocked by this scene, and it took a long time to react. Another bolt came at him, this time missing the trebuchet, but pinning a Germanic soldier to the ground. The crossbow bolt was fast and powerful, piercing the neck of the Germanic soldier directly, and the crossbow arrow pierced through the neck without abating, sinking into the ground an inch. The surrounding Germanic soldiers were stunned, this crossbow arrow was too domineering, such a long distance, it could pierce people, and then nail it to the ground, if the three people stood in a row before and after, it could not become a string of sugar gourds?

Crossbow arrows flew one by one, explosions continued to sound, one after another trebuchets were destroyed, at this time life was at stake, no one of the Germanic soldiers cared about those heavy trebuchets, one by one, one by one, the trebuchets outside the city were half destroyed. Just when the Germans were worried, the crossbow arrows finally stopped, this kind of giant crossbow arrows is not easy to build, Ren Phenol and others also have to save it, seeing that the trebuchet is almost destroyed, they will no longer waste crossbow arrows. The crossbow bolts stopped, but looking at the wreckage of so many trebuchets, Lothair's heart was bleeding, the hateful Orientals and the old Slavic hairymen, "I will make you pay..... Pay the price...."

Lothair's unwilling voice trembled, these trebuchets were built by the empire with a lot of effort, most of them borrowed from the craftsmanship of the Orientals, it was not easy, but I didn't expect to be half destroyed by the Vilnius garrison in an instant. I still want to use these trebuchets to take down the city of Kyiv, but I didn't expect to destroy so much in Vilnius. Bysel saw that Lothair's expression was a little wrong, and quickly asked people to pull the rest of the trebuchets behind, in case the Easterners came another round of crossbow arrows, how much of the remaining trebuchets could be saved? Waiting for Lothair's mood to calm down, Baisel hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, at least one point, we saw that the Orientals still have crossbows, this kind of defensive weapon, we have to guard against it." ”

"When attacking the city for a while, let the brothers spread out the formation, don't concentrate too much, even if the Easterners have a crossbow, this kind of crossbow arrow is not easy to build, they won't save too much" Lothair glanced at Vilnius City coldly, he can say that this city is inevitable, even if it is a crossbow, it can't stop the Germanic warriors from remembering the footsteps.
