King Linston's army had assembled outside the camp, and the phalanx was filled with brightly clad heavily armored soldiers, holding thick Parma shields in their hands, their unsheathed swords reflecting in the sunlight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the front row of the phalanx, more than a dozen lightly armored soldiers with cross-faced faces carried a siege ladder, and the archers of the royal city of Parma were staggered between the siege ladders, and they were very spread out from each other, which was a tactical measure to prevent the siege from suffering from the dense accumulation of arrows from the city.

After the phalanx, Segal II, dressed in gold armor and red cloak, rode on the horse Bob the Fat Man, playing with the royal sword inlaid with gold and silver, and under the escort of many noble knights, his face was filled with bursts of happy smiles, he had already seen the scene he was happy to see in the near future, the eldest nephew of White Town was pierced through the heart by his sword, and he ended the disgrace of the Saxon family; There were also lowly rebel soldiers who were trampled over by the executioners and had their necks cut off by an axe, and he warned everyone of the tragic fate of the rebels against him Segal II.

On the left and right sides of King Segal II's army, the Kakhander warriors who were accustomed to killing the enemy with axes also organized the siege phalanx one after another, these Kakhander warriors wearing black double-headed eagle heraldic chain mail were in good health, they did not shout in unison like the king's army in the middle of the siege array, but looked coldly ahead with the handle of the tomahawk and axe, like a cold goshawk that can only be seen from the northern forest of El Helino.

"Report! Your Majesty. The right Karkanders, led by the Black Hawk general Norn, are ready! Waiting for His Majesty's orders. A herald galloped up to Segal II, dismounted his horse and fell to his knees.

"Report! Your Majesty! Your father-in-law, Lord Earl Heller, is ready on the left. "Another herald knelt under the horse of Segal II.

"Your Majesty, will you let the Kakhandians charge first?" Behind him, Spiket whispered to Segal II under his viscoated helmet. His hidden gaze was fixed on the jewel-encrusted Rinston crown on Segal II's head.

"I remember warning my older nephew who lives in White Town early on, but the older nephew was not obedient at all, so how could the internal affairs of the Saxons be done by the people of Kakhand? Is it because of the dead matchsticks? Segal II smirked, and stretched out his thumb to the stone wall of Whitetown, "I'll do it myself, with this kind of stone wall that has been bombarded by my tower trebuchet and organ pipes." Leave it to the people of Kakhandan to gnaw on the hard bones of Entle, this soft berry, and let my uncle clean it up. Let the Kalkanders attack from the west of White Town and from the east of the city's weak defenses! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The two heralds flew on their horses and rode away at the Kakhand's forces on the left and right.

Segal II no longer cares about Spichett behind him, he is free to advocate for the war, the current garrison of White Town is simply not able to withstand his full pressure this time, this siege of White Town is just a bloody game for him, he is just thinking about making this battle more interesting, thinking about how to make the older nephew in the town or on the stone wall have all kinds of surprised expressions on his face from time to time.

"Order the ladder to build the stone wall, and the archers of the king's army will cooperate with the ladder to advance under the city to assist in shooting!" Segal II raised an eyebrow, and the royal sword pointed at the town of White.

"Ladder, archer!" The lightly armed soldiers in front of the phalanx repeated Segal II's orders, and they all shook off their steps, and the archers rushed towards the stone walls of White Town.

Segal II despised Earl Henson, the elder nephew, just as Walker, who stood under the walls of Entre in his early years, despised Hunter, Earl of Entle, except that his contempt came from within, while Walker engaged in quarreling and scolding each other.

"The whole phalanx of the hoplites pressed me all! Be sure to keep up with the ladder! As soon as Segal II's order was issued, the phalanx of hoplites standing in front of him waved the banner of the royal family of Lynston, and the sound of footsteps shook the meadow with neat steps.

On the gatehouse of the north wall of White Town, the atmosphere is dignified. The ringing of bells echoed through the stone walls north of White Town, and each bell was a close step of death for Jason.

The town was already dead silent, silent. Civilians and vagrants, young and old, women and children, all took refuge in the undestroyed houses of the town at the moment the bell rang, leaving only a dead street. Inside the house, these innocent people can only fold their hands and close their eyes and wait for fate to come.

More than a dozen of Custer's guards carried the orders of Count Hengerson, shuttling back and forth between the stone tower of the north wall and the ground, and the soldiers above and below the north wall were also ready one by one under the quickly issued defense order. The archers who climbed the ruined stone tower corrected their angles, and the archers on the stone wall adjusted their bowstrings.

"Kill!" Under the stone wall, not only did the shouts of killing gradually increase, but the lightly armored warriors of the King's Army carrying the ladder also accelerated their march at the same time.

"Shoot the arrows!" Earl Anderson took a deep breath, and his mouth only popped out of a short Trian vocabulary.

The guards of Custer who were guarding him gladly complied, ran to the outside of the gatehouse, and raised the archer command flag, "Stop the siege ladder from approaching the stone wall, and the archers release their arrows!" ”

Arrows, ignition, bows, loose strings, a series of actions were completed almost in a short moment, and a burst of sparks flew up from the stone tower and stone wall, dragging a black and pressing arrow feather.

The arrows fell to the ground like meteors, and the lightly armored soldiers of the King's Army were shot to the ground.

"Archer support!" The lightly armored soldiers who rushed forward with the ladder suffered many casualties, but the hoplites and the archers who were in the middle of the line gave them great courage, and these light infantry withstood the arrows from the stone towers and stone walls, and continued to advance until the ladder was combined to build the stone wall.

"My lord, the enemy ladders have been erected on the walls, and our defenders are trying to knock down them, but we can't show our heads, and the archers under the city are returning fire to us. What are the commands? The Custer guard was wounded, gritting his teeth and reaching out to break the arrow in his left arm.

"The stone wall is ready for white blades! The stone tower focuses on shooting archers outside the city! Earl Anderson spoke quickly, and he looked at the location of Segal II in the distance and the Karkhand army that had not moved for a long time, and said softly with a smile; If you want to take my head off yourself and bring me to shame on the history of the Custer family, you will not succeed. I will die in my town. ”

"Heavy infantry, charge, ascend!" The centurions of the hoplites waved their flags and swords, and for a moment, the hoplites of the king's army rushed towards the stone wall in a sea of mountains, and one by one, they climbed the ladder one by one with their battle shields on their heads, and jumped onto the stone wall in the rain of arrows.

"Defend the town walls!" The soldiers of the defenders of White Town on the stone wall immediately surrounded the heavy infantry of the King's Army who climbed the city, and the heavy infantry of the King's Army who climbed the stone wall did not show weakness, and swung their long swords at the soldiers of the defenders of White Town who were holding hook spears, and the spears stabbed the body of the heavy infantry, but the excellent heavy armor and hand-held battle shields defused the stabbing and stabbing again and again, and bought time for the other King's soldiers to ascend the city - on the ladder that hooked the edge of the stone wall behind him, several enemies wearing heavy armor and hand-held battle shields climbed up.

"My lord! The King's hoplites are fighting with our garrison on the North Wall, and the Gatehouse is no longer safe, so I suggest you get out of here! The guards pointed to the left side of the gatehouse, and when they did not get an order from Earl Henjamin to go down to the city, they surrounded Earl Henson in the center of the gatehouse, and guarded it loyally.

"Wait! Let the warriors defend the north wall! Count Anderson's palms were sweating, he had been staring at Segal II in the distance, he couldn't understand Segal II's current movement of troops, the original Khandan army on the left and right was actually slowly approaching the location of Segal II and the noble knights.

"Are they going to join forces? Then wave the army to cover up and kill? Earl Anderson's mind was so full of doubts that he didn't even pay attention to the shouts of murder that were already close at hand.

The hoplites of the King's army who were attacking the city had largely dispersed the garrison on the north wall, and there was already a river of blood on the north wall.

"My lord! The north wall is about to fall! The garrisons in the city are no longer able to kill the north wall, and the garrison on the north wall has been lost! Don't retreat into the city..."The Karst guards didn't finish their words at all, and the mutual impact of the spears and swords had already interrupted the shouting of the Custer guards, and in order to protect Earl Anderson, the Castel guards fought bloodily in the aisle where only one person could pass through the gatehouse, while Earl Anderson still looked motionlessly at Segal II's strange way of maneuvering.

"Your Majesty, our warriors are on the verge of capturing the Gatehouse on the north wall of White Town, but the Kalkandians you ordered to flank from the east and west are not following your orders, and they are approaching us." Spiket whispered to Segal II to alert the Kalkandians of their movements, and the silence of the Kalkandians made him feel a faint sense of unease, even though he knew that the Cashkands would only carry out the orders of Earl Heller, Cashhand.

"Then send someone to ask my father-in-law why he disobeyed my orders, and ask him to give me a reasonable explanation!" Segal II looked contemptuously at the approaching Kalkandian army, for whom the balance of victory in the battle had tipped in his favor, and whether or not the Kalkands had flanked the town of White, the impact on the course of the war was negligible.

The second herald rode quickly towards the Kakhandan army that was already close to Segal II, and shouted Sergal II's question in front of the Kakhand's troops: "Your Majesty asks you why you disobey his military orders!" Ask you Kakhandians to give him a reasonable explanation! ”

"Then I'll give it a reasonable explanation!" Earl Heller drew an axe from his shield and threw it at the herald of the King's army on horseback with a wave of his arm, only to see the head of the herald of the Chinese King's army who was spinning the axe impartially, and he fell to the ground, Earl Heller raised his right arm, raised his arm and shouted: "Warrior of Karkhand, our goal is to kill the tyrant!" Shame on my daughter, for your queen! Kill me! ”

The earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly came from the left and right sides of Segal II, and brought with them two bloody human heads that fell from the sky.

The smile on Segal II's face was lost.
