Chapter Seventy-Four: Crying and singing on the Red Village

Cass patrolled around the Twin Peaks Village, trying to find the point of the broken village, but he never found it. Although there is no wall around the front and back of the Shuangfeng village, it is a cliff as high as 100 meters, and if you want to break the defense from here, you are afraid that you will lose your troops before breaking the defense, and in the end it may not achieve the expected effect, so you have also given up the rock climbing strategy. Since there is no point to take advantage of this village for the time being, the bandits who have just been stockpiled for a long time without attacking and can't consume the grain have just been stocked, so they have no choice but to storm the cottage.

Under Cass's orders, the soldiers cut down trees overnight to make arrowheads, ladders, and siege engines, which were completed before dawn. The soldiers rested for a while, and the next morning, after breakfast, they began to prepare for the siege.

In the cottage, last night the soldiers also took turns to rest in the front village, did not dare to stay away from the wall, for fear that the enemy would attack late at night, and the big thing was missed Witt turned over and over again last night and could not sleep steadily, surrounded by enemy troops outside the village, how could he feel at ease, and got up in the middle of the night to inspect the various village defense equipment, everything was the same, and then he barely squinted in the main village for a while.

Early the next morning, the soldiers on the wall suddenly shouted loudly that the enemy was coming, and Bandeni went up to the wall to observe, and sure enough, he saw that the enemy troops were successively holding the shields, slowly climbing along the slope, and pressing towards the wall of the cottage step by step. Seeing this, Bandeni immediately ordered his men to go in and inform Witt, and then ordered the guards to take their positions.

More than a dozen cottage archers quickly climbed up the wall, hid in the long arrow tower that protruded from the outside of the wall, leaving only the archery mouth, raised their bows and arrows, placed them in front of them, and waited for instructions. More than a dozen other archers quickly climbed up the stone ladder to the top of the wall, and under the cover of the battlements, they carried bows and arrows to observe the enemy situation under the wall.

Some spearmen and infantry soldiers stood behind the battlements at the top of the wall, ready to fight in close combat with the climbing enemy at any time, while the rest of the infantry stood guard in the front of the inner side of the fortress to prevent the enemy from breaking through the gate and protecting the people.

When everything was ready, Witt had already received a notification from the guards that he had come to the inconspicuous battlements above the wall of the cottage to observe the situation of the enemy troops outside the wall. I saw that the enemy had already walked halfway up the hill with the shield, and the surrounding cottage guards became more and more nervous, and they couldn't help but swallow the saliva in their mouths, their eyes staring ahead, and the palms of their clenched weapons were also sweating unconsciously.

Although Witt was also a little nervous, after all, he had also participated in the battle, so he forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, stared at the village, and was ready to give orders at any time. Only Banderie was the most calm in the scene, Banderny had participated in countless battles of all sizes, and this kind of scene was quite small, so he was relatively calm, and patted Witt's shoulder to signal Witt not to be nervous. Willis calmed down, then looked ahead.

When the enemy archers were only fifty meters away from the wall, and before they could stop shooting with their bows and arrows, Witt immediately shouted: "The archers obey the order!" Fire Attack Ignites Stone Balls! ”

The archer, who had rested behind the battlements at the top of the cottage, placed his arrows wrapped in coarse cloth and soaked in fire oil on his longbow, bent over a small fire at the top of the ground to ignite the arrows, and then shot them at a boulder ball about a meter wide and hidden in the grass. The boulder ball had already been doused with fire oil many times, and the moment it touched the rocket, it was instantly ignited.

When Witt saw that the stone ball was ignited, he immediately shouted: "Chop the rope!" At the sound of the order, the infantryman, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his battle axe and cut the thick ropes on the wall, and the boulders on the slope were bound by these thick ropes, and the moment the thick ropes were cut, the boulders were like wild horses that had escaped their reins, and rushed towards the enemy troops on the slope.

The enemy troops on the slope first saw the weeds in front of the wall on fire from a distance, and then saw the fire dragon rushing towards them, and they were immediately frightened, and the soldiers at the front immediately fled to both sides, and only then did they survive death. But the companions behind him were not so lucky, I don't know why the companions in front of him suddenly scattered to both sides, and the front was blocked by other shields. By the time the fire dragon erupted, it was already impossible to hide. The tumbling flint took advantage of the fifty-meter slope to transform the huge kinetic potential energy into irresistible kinetic energy, and rolled rapidly, instantly flattening the relatively rudimentary shield and devouring its wood bones. The soldiers under the shield could not dodge, and were instantly engulfed by the fireball on the ground, and disappeared into the fire before they could scream. Some of the more agile ones quickly dodged to the side, but due to the large number of fireballs, they were also injured in the hands and feet, and the fire spread all over the body, and the soldiers immediately turned over and screamed, but no one could come to the rescue, and the fireballs that followed freed them.

Standing at the bottom of the peak, Cass saw the fire that had suddenly been kindled, and felt that something was wrong, but it was too late, and by the time the order to retreat was given, his soldiers were already in flames. Fortunately, the order was given early, and although the archers in front were defeated, the infantry behind did not follow, so they had time to disperse to the sides and survived. But seeing the tragic murder of their comrades, these infantry also had palpitations and their morale was greatly reduced.

The fireball rolled down the hillside into the middle of the field and disappeared from view. Cass looked at the distant fireball and burst into rage. In just ten minutes, he has easily lost more than a dozen soldiers, how can he not be angry. This bandit is really extraordinary, and he can come up with such a poisonous plan.

Cass immediately ordered the soldiers to reorganize the ranks, and the infantry in groups of five, with shields on their shoulders, coordinated to carry ladders and press towards the peak. Originally, they wanted to use the advantage of archers to oppress the bandits on the wall, but now the only seven or eight archers left can not play a big role, so they simply assist the infantry in storming the cottage under the cover of the infantry.

More than a dozen Fesdena soldiers lined up in two teams at both ends of the siege vehicle and slowly pushed towards the gate of the wall. The body skeleton of the siege vehicle is four parallel wooden piles, the top is tightly stacked by a shield as a defensive roof, and a heavy wooden pile is hung in the middle of the car, and the head of the wooden pile is wrapped in metal, which can cause certain damage to the wooden walled gate, and finally the walled gate can be breached.

Looking at the enemy soldiers of Fesd who were pressing towards the wall, Witt immediately shouted: "Archers, dark arrows, prepare!" The cottage soldiers saw the huge impact of the fireball attack on the enemy army on the wall of the wall, and their morale was greatly increased. When Witt gave the order again, he immediately responded loudly. The copycat archers immediately changed their feathers to ordinary feathers, bent their bows and arrows, aimed them at the enemy, and waited for orders.

When the enemy soldiers climbed halfway up the hill, Witt shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" "A wave of slightly sparse arrow feathers immediately appeared on the cottage, although there were not many arrow feathers, but there were about twenty arrow feathers. Sharp arrows flew through the air, slicing through the air with a "whoosh" sound, and then landed on the shield on top of the enemy soldier. Some of the arrows went through the gaps in the shield and landed on the legs and feet of the enemy, who immediately lay on the ground and struggled before being silenced in the ensuing rain of arrows. The soldiers behind did not stop at the death of their companions, but took their place, carrying ladders or pushing siege engines.

Waves of arrows rained down, and from time to time one or two soldiers fell screaming, and the battle entered a climax, and the soldiers on both sides had already left their fears behind them, in order to have the enemy annihilated in order to survive.
