"Blow the horn of retreat!" Gawain stretched out his hand, and the heralds next to him turned over and mounted their horses one by one.

But it was too late, the lightly armed military servants in front of them holding wooden rafts, wearing leggings and bark shoes, stepped on the muddy ground of the swamp and marched bravely, the curtain wall tower between dumbbells, on which the defenders shot arrows like rain, after one round of shooting, another round followed on it, the shaking wooden rafts were full of dense arrow feathers, "puff puff" After reaching a distance of about sixty feet in front of the curtain wall, the military servants inserted the tip of the wooden raft underneath, lined the triangular bracket below, and then pulled the rope tied to the other end, and stretched it diagonally back, Then the bolts at the end of the rope were smashed into the dirt and fixed, and then under the cover of the Italian veteran's shield, from the wooden pole to the starting point of the siege site, the relatively light planks began to be laid on top of the silt.

"Push the catapult forward." The craftsmen at the forefront of the siege field shouted together, and then pushed the stone thrower, stone crossbow, "porcupine" and other equipment with wheels along the paved road of the wooden plank, and rushed forward, each returning to the front of the wooden canopy, and then Diem raised the "Red Hand Seven Ridge Battle Flag", together with Bramson, who had drawn his two-handed sword, and took the veterans and the German Daredevils, carried the ladder and swarmed to the city wall, "Lean on the top, lean on the ladder up." A chaotic shout rang out, and the soldiers in armor and helmets gritted their teeth and squinted at the pale black city above, and with the guidance of the daylight, they hung the hooked heads of the ladders to the battlements of the curtain wall.

Their ladders were carefully calculated by Agnes the "Grey-Haired Minerva" and then made by the craftsmen who have accompanied them in the fierce battle since Italy. They have enough confidence in it because they believe in the little sunfish. Believe in your own craftsmen.

"The ladder isn't long enough!" Out of nowhere, a terrible and frightened voice shouted. Many of the soldiers looked at each other, and Bramson could barely believe his ears, "What! Then he thought, "How is that possible?" ”

The iron hook at the end of the ladder kept rubbing and colliding on the head of the wall covered with masonry, but it still could not buckle the gap between the battlements, making a squeaky and unpleasant noise, as if the soldiers were restless, and many people were blocked directly under the curtain wall. Looking down from the walls and towers, like clumps of black ants, the Grand Duke's herald cavalry galloped to the front line, the horns of the retreating troops sounded, and signal flags were constantly raised. But the resolute and courageous Tim and Bramson were furious almost before the signal of retreat came, and they called the soldiers down and carried them by hand. The ladder was raised, and then Dim raised the battle flag with gold spikes on a red background with one hand, the first one braving the rain and the other holding the ladder with one hand. Climb up, crushing the soldiers holding the ladder below to scream.

Behind him, inspired Deutschland swordsmen. also climbed up, and the siege soldiers below let out an earth-shattering battle cry - six hundred feet long. The curtain wall that spans the entire marshland is supported by several rows of ladders. One word opened, leaning on it, trembling and towering, the soldiers rushed up, and the top kept throwing stones and shooting arrows, one person was wounded and died and rolled down, and the other person took over, and the shouting and killing in the sky suppressed the command of the retreating soldiers.

"Idiot! Now they are all in the Red Hand Brigade, but at this critical moment, it is still the pilgrims who are armed with their own and scattered set! On the high platform of the battle, Gawain slammed his fist on the wooden fence in front of him, shaking the plaster on it and clutching his chest, and screamed, she was especially afraid of the Grand Duke's anger.

At this time, Gawain turned his head, his eyes shot with anger, and his big hand stretched out, forcing the colorless little sunfish.

"Gawain, Gawain, no, Grand Duke, I was wrong" Agnes stammered in fright, now Anna is stationed a few centuries behind the battlefield, supervising the progress of the construction of the big hospital, she has no support in this huge besieging barracks, and now the Grand Duke is angry, he will really cut off her oyster seeds on the spot.

Who would have thought that there was a burst of warmth in his gray hair, and it was Gao Wen's big hand that pressed on it, "Little sunfish, we are all underestimated this time, after all, the other party is a scheming guy." Keep the order, don't pause, and let Bramson and Goliath stand down! ”

On the curtain wall, the shouting defenders and armed citizens, under the cover of pheasants and shields, held a long iron crowbar with both hands, and stretched it out against the city wall, as long as they reached the hook of the ladder of the Red Hand Brigade below, using the battlement as a lever point, easily pulled, the ladder could no longer be held - the soldiers who were originally supporting the ladder, in order to prevent them from being pryed over, jumped up and hugged the ladder, but it was still to no avail - one by one, the ladders smashed upside down in the crowd of siegers, and many people waved their arms and fell. Some of the ladders that could not be pried up were also hit and burned by the thrown fire canisters.

In the flames, continue to bravely go up Diem. Goliath stepped on the ladder that was almost burned and fell, and went up with the battle flag, and the defenders of the city wall soon saw a bright red battle flag erected in front of them, and between the shaking hats and helmets, the wind from the west blew, and the battle flag that was originally hanging down, and the tassel Jin Sui Xiongxiong shouted, "Wow, oh, oh! The red-handed soldiers below who were in decline, seeing that the "Red Hand Seven Ridge Banner" had been floating at the head of the curtain wall, and their morale was like a volcano spewing out, they ignored Gawain's signal to withdraw the troops, and once again handed over the remaining ladders along the formation of the siege, leaning on the battlements about two feet under the battlements, many soldiers threw down their shields and swords, and pushed the ladders up again, so that the lightly armed Deutschland dared to step on the upward storm.

"What, there's a giant who climbed the walls with a battle flag!" In the midst of the tower, the blind and blind Nikaho stood up, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and cheeks, "Pledge all your forces and fight to the death, and push down the enemy's banner or take it over." ”

Now, Diem. Goliath stood high at the battlement of the city wall, holding the red hand banner in both hands, and countless defenders roared and poured in, and at the same time seventeen pikes, twenty throwing stones, five spears, seven battle axes, and three long swords attacked him in all directions like a rain and a fierce wind, "Protect the military flag, and come in my direction!" Diem's roar shook the earth, and four or five stones slammed into the chain mail that encircled his body and neck at once, and the splinters and blood flew wildly, and Goliath shook twice, but still did not fall. On the narrow curtain walled city road, the bravest soldiers on both sides were crowded together, and there was no room for maneuvering, and countless arms were squeezing densely, pushing and stabbing each other, and the sound of wailing and cursing was endless.

On the high platform, Agnes and Gawain were dumbfounded, at a loss.

And Giovanni, who rushed to the edge of the swamp with the reserves, was originally going to receive the retreating troops, but when he saw this scene, he was instantly caught in a dilemma: should he go up, or should he continue to implement the Grand Duke's retreat strategy? (To be continued.) )
