Section 75 Blood and Fire
"Squeak~~~. + Top Novel, www." The wheels crushed the ground, and the car was pushed forward by several strong soldiers, a crash car covered in leather on all sides, and a stout crash wood hung from the hollow inside after being modified, and the soldiers did not need to lift the crash wood in it, but only swung the crash wood to hit the sturdy wooden door.
"Whoosh~~~~." The arrows of the towers of Fort Watergast were shooting at the strange crash car like crazy, and in order to destroy the crash they also set the tip of the arrow on fire, hoping that the rocket would burn the strange weapon.
"This thing must be stopped." Kang Tuoyi watched the collision getting closer and closer, he knew very well what would happen if he let the collision close to his castle gates, and under Kang Tuoyi's order, the defenders would throw the stones on the ramparts of the city wall downward, hoping that the rubble would stop the progress of the collision.
"Stop, put up the baffle." Seeing the rocks blocking the way, the crash stopped, but soon the top of it unfolded like folding paper, and the planks were like the edges of a turtle's armor, and several soldiers of Prince Ward's guard, who had been selected to be strong, went up to move the stones that stood in front of them, because there was a block covering the top of their heads that prevented the arrows from harming them, and it seemed that Arold had anticipated the enemy's tricks early on.
"Buzz~~~." Just as the defenders of Watergastburg were trying to smash the approaching crashing cars with stones, there was a sound of breaking the air from the direction of the Mecklenburg Legion, and five ballistae appeared in a row in front of the Mecklenburg Legion, and the ballista fired crossbow arrows like spears.
"Be hidden, be careful." Kang Tuoyi hurriedly lowered his body and hid behind the sturdy battlements, if such a long crossbow arrow was hit, it would definitely be killed or injured, but those crossbow arrows kept firing because the distance was too far to accurately aim the problem did not hit the defenders. It's just that a crossbow arrow jumped over the wall and plunged into a chicken coop in the castle, and the chicken feathers in the guide zhì flew around.
"Don't worry, Lord Kang Tuoyi, we have brought the oil, and if they dare to approach the city wall, we will kill them." The Guardians carried the whale oil stored in the warehouses onto the walls, and any siege weapons that were poured with the oil would be exhausted.
"Well done, go to the city gates." Kang Tuoyi patted the shoulder of the defender with satisfaction. He saw from between the battlements that a hundred large shield crossbowmen of Mecklenburg were coming to the castle and shooting at the city wall, and these large shield crossbowmen attracted the attention of some of the arrow towers, and immediately relieved the pressure of the crash.
"The people of Watergastburg are ready to use the oil." Arold held up his monoporous telescope to see the situation on the walls of Wargastburg, and a group of defenders of Wargassteburg struggled to carry several clay oil pots, obviously preparing to set fire to the fire, and licked his dry lips a little tense.
"Let someone else start attacking?" Baron Ron looked at the large shield crossbowmen shooting at each other in front of him, although the large shield crossbowmen would turn their backs to the direction of the castle when they were loading their crossbows, so that the large shields behind them would resist the arrows from the arrow tower. But the arrows in Watergastburg were so dense that there were still crossbowmen who had no time to turn around and were killed or wounded by arrows, and the Mecklenburg regiment was suffering losses.
"Let the Reaper mercenaries attack." Arold put down the binoculars in his hand, and he ordered the mercenaries.
"Yes."
"Kill~~~." The Grim Reaper Mercenary Regiment knew that they were fatal, and they had already defied their own lives and the lives of others, and the mercenary captain strode forward with a banner depicting the image of the Grim Reaper riding a skeletal horse, and behind him were mercenaries with spears and swords in their hands, some of them carrying wooden ladders. In the mercenary regiments, there are also baggage troops, and these people will carry some wooden ladders that have been prepared in advance, and when there is a battle to attack the castle, they will tie up two wooden ladders. In this way, zuò became a ladder.
"Slavic warriors, guard your walls." Kang Tuoyi saw the Death mercenary group advancing, he immediately ordered his soldiers to guard their posts, and the Slavs with axes in their hands crowded on the city wall, their eyes fixed on the mercenaries who ran to the wall, waiting for a sacrifice to fight each other.
"Collapse~~~, collapse~~~." Arold's ballista continued to shoot bolts. However, the craftsmen who operated the ballista were so poor that they did not pose any threat to the Slavs on the city walls, but the advancing mercenaries sometimes feared that they would be strung from behind by the crossbow arrows.
"These damn things, why should they bring such useless things, they can't hit the enemies on the city walls at all." The mercenaries of the Reaper Mercenary Regiment grumbled as they walked. As soon as they approached the effective range of the Woltgastburg bows, the experienced Catalans bent down to try to keep their targets as small as possible, and if they looked closely, they were walking in a zigzag line like snakes, with some of the old mercenaries still shaking their bodies.
"Puff~~~Uh~~~." But even so, there will still be people who are killed by arrows, and the mercenaries next to him are shot by the arrows and spew out a stream of red blood, but the companions around him don't even look at it, as if a wild dog died by his side, maybe this is what the mercenaries who have looked down on life and death can do.
"The strength of these mercenaries is good." Colonel Andrew stood in front of the left side of the Mecklenburg Legion, he was also an experienced mercenary, and looked at these ragged but combat-ready mercenaries to show respect for the strong.
"Put the ladder up, get up, get up, get up quickly, and whoever goes up first will be rewarded." Barron, the mercenary captain, wears a semi-enclosed helmet with a few bright feathers at the top of the helmet, and he wears a heavy leather armor with iron plates and other protective measures in the leather armor.
"Oh~~~." When the mercenaries showed their heads at the top of the wall, the Slavic warriors who had been waiting for a long time beckoned their axes to the wall, and the Slavs guarding Watergastburg were numerous, and the mercenaries who climbed up the ladder fell from the wall one by one.
"Boom~~~~." Suddenly, from the direction of the city gate came the sound of flames, and the scorching heat wave hit both sides, and everyone was attracted by the flames, and they were stunned to see the billowing smoke and pillars of fire, even Kang Tuoyi was surprised.
"It's beautiful, but is whale oil so powerful?" Kang Tuoyi said to his subordinates who threw the oil appreciatively, the crash car quickly turned into a flame, the only pity is that when the oil was thrown down and burned, the soldiers in the crash car fled one after another, they were very cunning and draped some thick cloth bags on their backs, maybe those bags were full of dirt and arrows were useless when shot on them, and those people looked like a group of big hedgehogs full of arrows from a distance.
"We didn't know, we just threw the oil down and fired the rocket, and we didn't expect the wooden car to burn so fast." The oil-throwing guardian said in a panic.
"Maybe it's because the car is too dry." The others explained this, but Kang Tuoyi was still a little puzzled, but at this time, the Reaper mercenary group was desperately attacking the city wall, which made him have no time to care, anyway, he just burned the enemy's crashed car.
While the defenders of Watergast were trying to defend the city wall, Lady Angelia was checking the entrails in front of the altar, she looked carefully at the delicate entrails desperately trying to find the signs of the gods, and the accuracy of the prophecy had improved a lot after using this special sacrifice, it seemed that the gods of Lomwa were very satisfied with this sacrifice, and they revealed many secrets to Lady Angelia, and Lady Angelia looked at these secrets in surprise, but soon she skipped them, Because she wanted to know how to avoid the doom of Watergastburg.
"Uh~~." In a hurry, Lady Angelia picked up the sacrificial knife and slashed it along her left arm, and the blood dripped into the chest cavity of the sacrifice, soaking the internal organs in it.
"Lady Angelia." Lady Angelia's personal maid said in alarm, and hurriedly stepped forward to bandage her wounds, but she tried not to let her eyes fall on the small pale corpse, but a stream of acid water rushed to her throat, and if she hadn't endured it, she would definitely vomit on this sacred altar.
"Hmm, hmm, I saw, I saw visions, not signs or prophecies but more intuitive visions, thank you, gods, thank you, what be careful of the flames?" Madame Angelia looked up at the void in a frenzied manner, her hands stretched out as if to grasp something, but there was nothing in front of her.
"Flames." The maid listened to Lady Angelia's words in amazement, and the priests who could see visions were only possible for the elders who had been immersed in communicating with the gods for many years, and just when she did not know whether it was the true gift of the gods or if Lady Angelia was mad, the maid from the window of the main tower saw smoke rising from the direction of the city gate.
"The person wearing a cloth bag, a sharp knife, blood stained the wall red, oh woo~~~." Lady Angelia's vision was like a tsunami rushing towards her, she was like a drowning person jumping into the sea desperately paddling her limbs, trying to lift her head out of the water to catch her breath, but the powerful waves drowned her in the sea of countless information, she gradually began to get lost in these huge information and time and space, the monster clad in steel crushed the qiē on the ground, the pipe that spewed flames slaughtered the crowd, the man with the mustache clenched his fist and spoke, and a mushroom-like cloud rose upward, Countless people walk in the crowded and dazzling jungle~~~~.
