Chapter 50: An Observer from the Great Iron Village

At the time when the great business of making guns began in Datie Village, the war between the two countries outside Morning Glory Town was also in a stalemate.

At first, the Temple of Lionheart sent a thousand awakened people to the outskirts of Altair Town to fight the Minotaurs, thinking that the battle would end one day, but the Minotaurs sent far more troops than they thought.

The 1,000 Templar Lion Riders used the lion's roar to roar in the air, causing all the minotaurs within 30 meters to have a concussion coma effect, and the total number of stunned people reached more than 400 people.

After the stun, the bull heads who were not dizzy in the back immediately poured in, according to the incomplete statistics, there were four or five thousand minotaurs, they crowded up, and woke up the minotaurs in front with punches and kicks.

The awakened minotaur has strong resistance and recovers from dizziness, although his mobility is greatly sluggish, but he can still do it by waking up the soldiers around him.

So the Minotaur armed with heavy shields and thousands of ordinary lion soldiers fought fiercely on the official road in the mountains and forests, and a battle was fought, and the Minotaur was defeated and retreated back to the fortress of Moonlight Valley.

The Lionheart Kingdom suffered 1,400 wounds and 300 deaths, while the Minotaur Kingdom suffered about 1,800 wounds and the death toll was about 100.

The Minotaur was injured a lot, but he didn't die much, and he was not afraid of the threat of the Lionheart, and continued to occupy the eastern throat of the Lionheart, Moonlight Valley, preparing to trample the Lionheart again after resting.

After a few days of rest, the kingdom's army had assembled outside Morning Glory and launched a counterattack on Moonlight Valley, committing 30,000 ordinary soldiers and 3,000 Templars.

When they arrived outside the Moonlight Valley, they found that the Minotaur army had hammered the ground, and it was difficult for the cavalry to cross the ground in front of the fortress gate.

"Damn the Minotaurs, are they going to go to war in an all-out way!"

On the hillside outside Moonlight Valley, in a tent built on the slope, the Leo Templars slapped the large table angrily, their eyes blazing.

Beside him, several of the Templar leaders also cocked their lion's beards, angry at the open war of the Minotaurs.

"The trebuchet is here, and the city will be attacked tomorrow?"

A full-scale war is a very heavy burden for both countries, and once the war starts, the economy of the whole country will be affected, and most of the grain will be transported to the front, and an immeasurable amount of food will be consumed every day.

"Cast it, the king orders us to fight quickly, and not to give the other side a chance to delay."

"If I want me to say that I shouldn't have transferred those 5,000 people in the first place, otherwise I would have been able to hold on for a while." The original leader of Moonlight Valley had a unhappy face and sulked with a snort.

As a border fortress, once war hits, it is difficult to hold the city wall without enough troops.

According to the normal rhythm of war, it takes about ten times as many troops to attack a city, and Lionheart brought 33,000 troops, which is not yet ten times the troop threshold, but it has reached the scale of a full-scale war.

Lionheart's active strength has a total of 70,000 troops, and we will consider whether to increase troops in the future, depending on the siege situation.

After all, there are leading countries on the left and north of the Lionheart Country, and there is a possibility of a beast tide in the south, so you need to be careful, and you can't draw all your troops to fight against the Minotaur Country.

After a while, the giant trebuchet was transported outside the city of Moonlight Valley, and the range of a hundred kilograms of stone it dropped was as far as 260 meters.

This is only the theoretical optimal range, and a group of lion soldiers move out the trebuchet components and slowly assemble the trebuchet.

As a military stronghold, the border walls facing the Minotaur are twenty meters thick, and the walls facing the Lionheart are only ten meters thick, and the height is not as high as the outer walls.

During the construction of the trebuchet, someone saw a large black shadow rising from the fortress of Moonlight Valley.

The round black shadow made a beautiful arc in the sky, rising higher and higher, reaching the apex of the arc and descending, towards their trebuchet.

The lion soldiers stared at the boulder, and couldn't help but be shocked, covering half of their mouths and shouting, "They also use trebuchets!" ”

The trebuchet was widely used in the cold weapon era of the beasts, and it was a siege weapon, and it was the most suitable for siege.

"When I retreated, I had ordered the destruction of trebuchets, which were brought by the Minotaur."

The face of the Templar Lord was gloomy, and none of the trebuchets were cut down by him, and none of them could be used, so the other party also brought trebuchets.

Of course, the accuracy of the trebuchet was to be considered, and a hundred kilograms of stones from the sky fell to the ground and smashed into a large pit of earth, and the dust splashed, hitting several lion soldiers who fled in a hurry, but not the trebuchet.

Bang bang bang

Some of the stones were about to hit the trebuchet, and the lion soldiers who were guarding the assembly team jumped up, and the white golden lion cloak swayed in the wind, revealing the silver plate armor inside.

"It's the Templars!"

The orc's eyes widened as he watched as a Templar bounced on the spot, jumped onto the lever of the trebuchet, and leaped to his feet, slamming his shield head-on into the stone.

With a bang, the stone changed its parabola due to the impact of the giant shield and landed next to the trebuchet.

And the Templar who jumped into the air and fell from the sky, and there was also a group of plate knights wearing white golden lion cloaks to quickly pick up the person, and found that the opponent's breastplate was completely torn, his hands were full of blood, and the person was also unconscious, and he was crippled in this life.

This is the Templars of the Lionheart Kingdom, after awakening the divine talent, their bodies are constantly strong, and they do not stop growing until middle age, and the Templars at their peak can be five or six meters tall in a leap, and can lift two hundred and fifty kilograms of weight with one hand, which is infinitely powerful.

Because the Templars were so strong in jumping, the border walls of this world were built very high, often ten or twenty meters long.

As for the taller walls, the technologically backward orc craftsmen said that the walls were too high, and the heavier the walls could bear, they couldn't solve the problem.

And they didn't invent advanced lifting equipment, and if they did lay bricks, the cost would be staggering.

With a whoosh, another Templar at the peak of his prime, leaped into the air, his fluttering white golden lion's cloak stained with blood, and fell to the ground.

And with them fell great stones from enemy nations.

After a while, the trebuchet was completely completed, and more than two dozen Templars died on the Lionheart side, and the Templars were furious and ordered to be killed in Moonlight Valley.

A siege battle began.

In the dense forest far away from Moonlight Valley, a figure flashed away, and no lion soldier noticed his figure, let alone knew that the man's tail was a cat's tail.

In the woods, the sun is slanting in the west, and the cat orcs, dressed in simple leaf camouflage clothes, hide in the shade of the canopy, and use the leaf sap to write a string of words composed of special codes on a piece of paper:

"There are about 30,000 lion soldiers, the minotaur defends the city, the weapons are mainly swords and guns, the two sides are slinging battles, and the range of the trebuchet is more than 200 steps......"
