But on the land, behind the commander-in-chief's general, dozens of gentlemen on horseback, their faces all changed a little strangely, they looked at each other one by one, and whispers had already appeared among them. 【】

This group of gentlemen, though they were all neatly dressed in armor and carrying knights' swords in their hands, were sent by the nobles as people to observe and express their loyalty to their forces, and now they were stunned to find that what should have been an easy battle, a battle that distributed the benefits by the way after the capture, began to falter.

Their navy had already been defeated, easily routed by twelve enemy warships of various sizes, and even their transport warships were expelled from the coastal areas of the east coast, not daring to approach easily.

This is the credit of Levi's six light warships, although they are small warships, but with the power of a great victory, even the more than ten ships of fortune did not dare to respond to the enemy easily, and they all raised their sails and retreated, not thinking about the army troops on the shore, which were still lined up and ready to attack the city wall of Cape Town.

There was nothing to do about it, and after driving out the fleeing battleship, the galleon and the five sloops belonging to Levi had slowly returned to the shore and continued to carry out tactical cruises, deterring the Gray Mist City battleship that was still watching in the distance.

This undoubtedly also gave a great shock to the infantry regiments on land, although they had lined up in a neat line, but their faces were full of despair and grief and indignation, and they all whispered to each other, and even the whole line began to shake, and there was already a tendency to be unstable.

Some of the low-ranking nobles and gentlemen who oversaw the war also served as captains and leaders, and for those who were completely loyal to the Governor, they had to whip those who were still spreading rumors at this time.

They must not mess around!

If, at this time, the troops that have been assembled and are preparing to attack the city undergo some changes, the result will be either a direct self-defeat in front of the enemy's walls, or a tragic internal strife, and a cannibalistic battle will occur first.

Therefore, this group of low-ranking nobles and gentlemen who oversaw the war also walked around the queue in full armor, each letting out a roar of rage, and the whip or scabbard in their hands also whipped any soldier who dared to continue to speak, and continued to shock this group of infantry with the power they had retained in the past.

Even in the recruited and not very well-disciplined archer troops, several of the noble overseers inside were yelling angrily, whipping the lowly commoner-born archers with whips, telling them who was the boss here. 【】

Undoubtedly, this simple and crude approach is also quite effective.

The army troops of Grey Mist City regained their calm in the thrashing, and the nobles led their troops separately, quickly checking their armor and weapons, as if they were preparing to attack the city.

And the thirty or so burly infantry who came with them also carried rattan baskets to the front of the dozen or so large trebuchets in front of the array, and when the lid of the rattan basket was opened, there were two large stone bullets carved from stone in each of the rattan baskets of the thirty or so burly infantrymen.

This is the ammunition used by trebuchets, and compared to the cantaloupe-shaped stone projectiles of the ballista, this rough-polished stone projectile is as terrifying as a giant pumpkin, and it is extremely heavy!

It was these burly infantrymen who walked here from the place where they came ashore, and after slowly lowering the rattan basket, the whole person seemed to have gone through a violent movement, panting heavily, obviously the weight of the two large stone bullets in the rattan basket was not so easy!

The large trebuchet was already two hundred meters away from the city wall, and the infantry at the bottom who were still operating the trebuchet could even see the soldiers of Cape Town who were poking their heads out from time to time and quietly checking on the city wall not far away.

As the trebuchet has been placed, the large stone bullet has been placed in the cloth pocket at the top of the long rocker, and the large stone bullet has been placed in the cloth pocket at the top of the weight, because the counterweight stone thrown on the top has not yet fallen, so it also rests firmly on the cloth bag, waiting for the moment when the heavy stone falls, and swings the stone bullet fiercely and smashes it on the four-meter-high stone wall.

According to the experience of this group of infantrymen, these stone projectiles will easily break the surface of the city wall stones, and the falling gravel will change rapidly, turning into a secondary damage to the infantry who can't dodge around!

At the same time, the archers with high pounds in their hands had also come out, close to the size of more than 800 people, lined up in a loose formation, slowly moved forward, and gradually came to a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from the city wall, and opened the feather arrows in the quiver, and slowly pulled the war bow in his hand.

This is the traditional siege method, in which a group of infantry rushes up and cooperates with each other to climb the low city walls, which are only four meters high, and then occupy the entire Cape Town.

And this plan is also quite convenient, and they also have a lot of self-confidence in their hearts.

After all, the city wall that is more than four meters high can't even compare to the more than six meter high city wall in the outer port area of Gray Fog City, not to mention the city wall that is at least ten meters high in the inner city, except for the continuous bombardment with a large trebuchet, or the opening of the door inside, there is nothing better at all!

The wall is more than four meters high, as long as two people work together, they can rush up directly, they don't even need to climb ladders, with the help of the rain of arrows from the archers, this group of elite infantry can be sure that they and their companions cooperate, and easily climb the city wall.

Moreover, they have no way out, just like a shipwreck.

The transport warships on the east coast had broken down, and the entire menacing navy had been completely annihilated, and in less than half an hour, their group of prepared land forces seemed to be dumbfounded.

Stunned to see his fleet, completely destroyed and defeated by those small ships, the huge battleships of more than forty warships, and even the entire mighty fleet of the North Trumming Sea, were completely turned into a pile of rotten wood floating on the sea by those twelve ships, and there was no effect at all.

How could this group of army troops in Gray Mist City not be frightened, how could they be dissatisfied and frightened, and they did not mutiny on the spot, and they had already proved their elite identity!

And now with sadness in their hearts, with hatred for the rout of their friendly forces, they have transformed into their war spirit for Levi of Cape Town, gritting their teeth and glaring at the front one by one, the low city wall more than four meters high can no longer stop their eyes full of anger, and the siege has begun.

"Crunch...... Crunch...... Crunch ......"

The sound of pulleys and rockers sounded, and the trebuchet counterweight composed of three heavy bluestone bars was pulled down heavily, and the rope and cloth bag at the end of the long pole also rose directly into the air because of this force.

Accompanied by the heavy round stone projectile, as big as a pumpkin, it rose up in the air, whistling with that heavy appearance, crossing a beautiful curve, and smashing towards the city wall, and looking at that appearance, I am afraid that a young and strong person standing below will also be smashed into flesh in an instant!

However, what is embarrassing is that the big pumpkin-like stone bullet smashed heavily on the ground ten meters away from the stone wall, and with a clang, the whole ground was splashed with a piece of sand, and the round stone bullet bounced a few times, rolled to the foot of the city wall, and hit it hard, making a crisp sound, as if it was a low mockery.

This is the ranging, and the remaining dozen or so large trebuchets also changed their throwing direction slightly in an instant, and with the roar of the noble commander, more than a dozen stone bullets the size of pumpkins finally rushed out.

With that scream, roaring, accurately hit the primary city fortifications on the periphery of Cape Town, and accurately smashed the city wall into pieces of flying stones, and even the periphery of the city wall because of the accurate hit of a dozen stone bullets, a large number of stones collapsed, revealing the soil layer inside!

A crackling sound resounded on the exterior of the city wall, and the stone façade, which was originally used as a greater protection against rain, also collapsed in large quantities, and each pumpkin-sized stone projectile also smashed a large crack.

The exposed layer of soil also made the faces of the infantry of the Gray Mist City show excited expressions, which was a manifestation of the results of the battle, proving that their large trebuchets still had remarkable results.

The commander-in-chief's face also showed a pleased expression, turned his head to look at the observers of the various nobles behind him, and proudly pointed to the collapsed city wall in front of him, loudly praising the large trebuchet brought by his foresight, which was also a metaphorical expression of the strength of the governor's power.

After the defeat of the navy, victory on land is a must, especially the nobles living on land, who may be able to evade the pursuit of the navy, but they cannot stop the attack of the army!

"Whoosh ......"

A salvo of more than 800 archers has also appeared, and in the effective range of more than 150 meters, their salvo is really like an overwhelming rain of arrows, crackling and smashing on the top of the city wall.

With a graceful arc, it covered the past like a black curtain, and finally turned into a rain of arrows that could stab the enemy into hedgehogs, and disappeared on the city wall with a roar, and looking at the top of the wall made of logs, you can also find countless arrows nailed to it, like weeds.

In this way, the infantry of Cape Town, who had been observing from time to time, had completely disappeared, and the entire city wall was silent, without counterattack or shouting, as if there was no one on it.

According to the experience of the Gray Mist City for so many years of war, it is best to organize a group of archers on the city wall to counterattack at this time, with a higher and denser, but also condescending rain of arrows, suppressing the archer troops outside the city wall is the right choice, there are only two reasons why there is no counterattack as empty as now.

The first is the lack of long-range means of attack, and the second is that the troops on the city walls have already suffered a shameful rout under the double blow of trebuchets and a rain of arrows!

And these two reasons, either of which are the petri dish with a smile on the face of the commander-in-chief, the command sword in his hand has been raised, and with the second wave of stone bullets that have been bombarded by the past, and the archers are covering the past wave of arrows, he also pointed sharply forward.

"Attack!"

A short order appeared in the mouth of the commander-in-chief's general, and the elite infantry, who had already been prepared, had already rushed towards the wall in front of them with a roar, and their fiercely stimulated morale could not wait.

They need to vent the anger and panic in their hearts, and the Cape Town in front of them is a good choice, the elite infantry with swords, shields and halberds are dense like a tide, under the order of the arrogant general, they brazenly launched a general attack, almost except for the more than 300 cavalry on horses, almost the entire army pressed up!

The commander-in-chief on the steed also had an extremely solemn face, because he was going to use the strongest wave of attacks to destroy any resistance that might arise!

It's not that the four-meter-high city wall can't be climbed, and the mottled and peeling shell of the city wall can even be a help for dexterous people, allowing them to rush to the city wall more quickly, using their armor and the long sword in their hands to open up a path to victory!

The front row of sword and shield infantry had even raised the shield in their hands, quickly came to the corner of the city wall more than two hundred meters away, stretched out their hands to remove the wooden thorns that were obliquely facing him, and subconsciously looked up at the city wall, but he didn't expect that his feet were empty, and he immediately fell heavily into a hole, and a sharp pain of being pierced also appeared on his body.

It was a trap that had been dug a long time ago, and the pit more than half a meter high was now densely packed with wooden thorns, and most of the dozens of careless infantry who fell into it were also wounded, and they were wailing in the pit one by one.

But before the other infantry who had approached the city wall could react, a series of figures suddenly appeared on the city wall, which had been shot into wilderness weeds.

The pale orange uniforms were extremely dazzling in the sun, and they all looked quite mentally capable, and in the eyes of this group of Gray Mist City infantry who subconsciously looked up and were crowded in front of the pit trap, the dwarven muskets were already aimed at them.
