Chapter 123: Exchange

"Woohoo~~~~ Woo woo woo!" Berserker cries swept through the night sky over the heads of the Eagle's Nest. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info made the Eagle's Nest people uneasy, panicked, and afraid, and then desperately clenched the weapons in their hands.

A strong squad of infantry pushed the ramming cart into the stone path, surrounded by numerous machetes. In the back, there are not a few wolf soldiers who carry ladders, rope speed, and agility in climbing.

Five thousand Green Path Holy City Ice Warriors turned into giant eagles, and their powerful claws flew into the sky with rocks, like a terrifying dark cloud.

"Trebuchets fire, archers release arrows!"

With the hasty and panicked order of the Black Rock Fort General, the war to destroy the Eagle's Nest City and the Eagle's Nest people finally began.

Blood Moon - In the tradition of the Eagle's Nest, today is a night of terror, when the ghosts of the night will move, forage for food, and take away underage children. It is the custom of the Eagle's Nest people that everyone should hide in a warm home and spend time with their children.

However, today is destined to be a depressing night and unable to go home, the dark sky overhead of the Eagle's Nest City is like the bottom of a pot pressing against the lonely city, and the grinning wind blows the flag at the head of the city without making a sound at all.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry up! ”

The eagle's nest coolies were commanded and bundles of arrows were carried up the city walls. Two months ago, he had slept under the tree where he was making these arrows. "Report! The enemy has already begun to attack the city! ”

The last bundle of arrows is placed behind him, and the archers are ready! The commanding officer raises the flag.

Some old people and children were pulled in the middle, doing the same movements that have been repeated for two months, and they took arrows! Draw the bow! You don't need to aim and shoot at all.

"Archers! Shoot the arrows! ”

Whew! Now all I can hear is the sound of the bowstring and the commanding officer's order: "Second wave, release!"

Many ignorant people can't help but wonder when they will be able to shoot the arrow behind them and go home to see their children. But as the overwhelming number of berserkers poured in, those savage, shocking post-battle voices were no longer audible to the voice of the commander.

"---Woohoo, woo!" Berserker cries swept through the night sky over the heads of the Eagle's Nest.

As they were going uphill, there were rolling rocks on the opposite side. The Berserker needs to knock it off to protect the crash car behind him.

The rain of arrows in the sky continued, and with a tiger step, just like that, the young berserker patriarch Della was unfortunately hit.

The first arrow pierced through his chest, and he felt a sharp blow on the back, which brought him down at that time.

Followed by a puff -

With a rapid whist, Della felt something bite on the back of her right ribs. But it didn't take care of that much at the time, because the situation was the case with every berserker on the hillside, and almost everyone was hit by an arrow.

Rush forward with only madness. Seeing the rolling wood thunder stone falling, there was no place to cover, and he continued to run wildly for 20 meters and jumped into a ditch in front of the gate. Then everyone jumped in one after another, and then Della felt that her back was hot, and the right rib was crispy and sticky when she touched it with her hand.

The feeling after the arrow: the first feeling is hot, as if it has been scalded by boiling oil, then it is soreness, and then it hurts. Then, when the berserker frenzy had subsided, the young berserker patriarch Drake never got up from the ditch again.

In the first wave of attacks, thousands of berserkers were turned into corpses, and there was no doubt that it was a tragic battle.

The giant eagle threw rocks from the sky, killing many of the eagle's nest shooters. However, due to the special structure of Black Rock Fort, a certain volume of rock cannot destroy the castle.

The two sides fought fiercely all night, the Sky Empire exhausted all kinds of siege methods, and the Eagle Nest people of Black Rock Fort also tried their best to defend.

Belinger gathered 30,000 berserk archers, and a dense stream of arrows flew over the walls like locusts, followed by a large group of men.

But here, the generals of the Eagle's Nest were impatient, and they all hoped that the commander would quickly order a return fire with trebuchets and fire oil.

The commander in charge of defending Black Rock Fort was very calm and shook his hand gently at everyone. Wait until the 30,000 berserk shooters continue to move forward.

The commander of Fort Black Rock watched from the city walls, waiting for the enemy to swarm closer before he gave a loud order: "This is now!" ”

Crunch - bang! Crunch - bang!

In an instant, the operation of the trebuchet and the sound of the bombardment of stone shells shook the sky, and a large number of berserkers who followed followed fell down one after another. If you were lucky enough not to be hit, you hurriedly turned around and fled for your life, you bumped into me, trampled on each other, and the team was in chaos.

…………

More than half of the night of the blood moon has passed, and the sky has slightly shown the whiteness of the fish's belly, but half of the sky is still hideously red.

The Eagle's Nest, with its three guardian castles and fortifications, is exceptionally fortified.

As a result, the Imperial Army often needs to invest a larger army than the Eagle's Nest to be able to conquer it.

Not only that, but the empire also needed a large army to control the countryside around the castle and repel the scattered troops that had broken the siege, which were extremely draining operations.

"Don't stop attacking, if it's a protracted battle, we have to recruit and start preparing other strategies." The troll general Behringer has a unique vision.

According to his orders, the main methods of siege were:

1. Dig tunnels.

The greatest difficulty in the siege was to overcome the obstacles of the city walls. One way to solve this problem is to dig up the bottom of the wall to make it collapse, and the premise is that if the foundation of the wall is rock-solid, this solution will not work.

Once the strategy of digging the corners of the wall is adopted, the Imperial army must first dig a tunnel to the wall and follow it to the base of the wall. The tunnel would be supported by wooden piles, and then the bottom earth that supported the foundations of the walls would be dug out and removed, and replaced with wooden piles to support it.

The wooden piles in the tunnel were later set on fire as originally planned. If everything goes according to plan, the walls will collapse due to lack of support when the wooden stakes used to support the weight of the walls are gradually burned. The collapsed walls would create a gap for the Imperial army to attack the castle directly.

In addition, the Eagle's Nest may be alert to the existence of the tunnel, so they will build a second wall to defend it, and when the outer wall collapses, it will not completely expose a gap, and dig a tunnel of their own at the bottom of the wall to try to intercept the enemy tunnel. When two tunnels meet each other, an underground war is triggered.

2. Surround but not fight.

The Imperial army would set up appropriate positions to surround the castle to prevent the soldiers in the city from escaping or breaking through, and often the castle would surrender due to the lack of food.

Unfortunately, this method does not conform to the Emperor's orders, and so far, it is only a backup suggestion.

3. Assault. With the combined siege equipment in play at the same time, the fortified castle is also in danger of being breached.

It is also the means of re-planning the strategy at the moment, focusing on throwing stones at the walls, while building more and higher siege towers and ladders to storm the walls, or ramming the gates or other parts.

The ranged equipment owned by the Imperial army includes giant trebuchets, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles, and large shields.

Relying on this support, the army charged at all costs, and in this case, the casualties of the berserkers were high, and those who managed to survive were rewarded with the highest rewards in terms of promotions, titles, and loot.

Giant trebuchets are large catapults that can be discovered and destroyed by the defenders of the city if they are not covered by bows and arrows.

Trebuchets are not the same as giant trebuchets, but their trajectory is relatively flat and they produce the same power. The intensive fire of the trebuchet is capable of causing great damage to the city walls.

In addition, projectiles and fragments of the collapsed walls helped fill in the trenches, and the piles of rubble they created provided for siegers to climb into the city. However, this huge engineering weapon does not seem to be very accurate, and it needs to be guarded by a large number of infantry on all sides to prevent the knights from rushing out of the fortress to destroy it.

Berserkers can move siege towers close to the castle walls, and when the siege towers are close to the castle, archers will fire bows and arrows from the battle zone at the top of the towers into the castle; As soon as it is attached to the wall, the Eagle's Nest soldiers in the tower will step on the wall from the steps inside the tower.

To be sure, a surprise attack from inside a siege tower will never surprise the Eagle's Nest, as there will be plenty of time to prepare for the enemy when the siege tower moves closely. The Eagle's Nest will walk to the most threatened part of the wall, or prevent the ladder from being lowered. When a siege tower approaches, the Eagle's Nest will attempt to grab it and try to push it away.

The crash car has a large wooden stake with an iron head on it, and after hitting the wall, the stake will swing back and continue to ram the wall. In fact, it is a very dangerous task to operate the ramming equipment, requiring not only strong bear infantry, but also strong will and determination to die, as the Hawk Nest can throw boulders, boiling water, or burning grease onto the ramming vehicle from above in an attempt to destroy or kill the soldiers in operation. Even if the gate or drawbridge is destroyed, there may still be several gates and gatehouses behind that need to be charged.

"A lot of tower shields, we need a lot of tower shields!"

The plea for help conveyed to Bellinger from the front made Bellinger dignified, and he had to ask Sauron to transfer all the Ice Clan heavy infantry armed with tower shields to the siege front.

With these hoplites, Berserker Marksmen were able to suppress the long-range strikes of Blackrock Castle beneath the walls.

The sky was gradually breaking, and the clouds gathered on the edge of the sky, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

At this moment, with the help of a large number of equipment, the berserker infantry force of 100,000 men began to attack.

Use the most ferocious, ruthless, and ruthless wave tactics of the troll general Behringer.

In a one-day bloody battle, the imperial army mobilized 30,000 men and killed 20,000. And in the period from early morning to dawn, 100,000 berserkers formed a total of sixteen offensive waves. Wave after wave, the gray waves of people drifted overwhelmingly, scattered, and made noise near the breached blood gate, rolling up layer by layer, fiercely attacking the second and third gates of the Black Rock Fort.

But from the thick walls covered with iron thorns, the rockets fired from the chubby turrets had already ignited more than one ramming car.

But despite this, the dense and continuous berserkers still rushed forward one after another, rushing forward with the light of fire, and the battle cry shook the heavens and the earth, rushing towards the sky, once the berserker became fanatical, he was not afraid of life and death at all.

Far from the battlefield, high on a mountain, a lush canopy of trees is dotted with yellow, green, and red fruits. Beneath the canopy of the trees is a chariot made of pure gold.

Ascend high and look into the distance, the huge golden sword can command the overwhelming imperial army.

The golden covered feather battle helmet made everyone only see the perfect arc of the corners of the 'Heavenly God's mouth, revealing a sense of omniscient and invincible confidence.

In the field of vision, the mountain was full of berserkers with long knives held high, and the sound of flags and trumpets fluttered in the wind on the battlefield.

Blood, fire, destruction, and carnage are all visible under the throne.

It's a real feeling, eternal life and authority! A conqueror's supreme pursuit!

And in order to go further and hold the power of the entire earth in your hands, war is needed.

Sauron grew to like and indulge in this feeling, perhaps in his eyes, what was lost and what was gained could never make up for each other, and the only thing he could do in order to keep himself from falling into it was to move on and conquer and seize the goals he never had.

Endless eternal life and supreme authority are not far away!

"My Emperor, we only need the last support from the Greenway Holy City warriors, and the Black Rock Fort can be breached immediately!"

Under the throne, the griffon general was covered in blood, and he knelt on one knee with his bladed sword.

As for Sauron's reaction, he naturally raised the golden sword in his hand, and the five thousand ice archers, their eyes were fixed on what Sauron's war sword was pointing at, and they took a big step forward neatly, ready to attack.

At this moment,

"As long as you can spare the Eagle's Nest, I'm willing to do anything for you."

There was a tone in my ear that was more like a pleading.

Zoro turned his head and stared at Catherine, the daughter of the eagle, through the white gauze on the other side's face, her clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her fair and flawless skin revealed a faint red powder.

The rich hat ornament and the hanging gauze covered her long hair and half of her face, but she could already feel that her face was beautiful, amazingly beautiful!

"The daughter of the eagle must marry the House of Reinhardt, a covenant that has remained unchanged since time immemorial. However, one person can only change one! That's fair. ”

Never bargain with a god, even if he's just a demigod.

Catherine has learned enough lessons from this in this time.

And the implication of Sauron's words is obvious, even if the Imperial army wipes out this place, the daughter of the eagle will willingly marry him, but she can only change the life of a member of the Chilfus family.

The meaning at the corners of Sauron's mouth was intriguing, but Catherine knew that the curvature was filled with banter and contempt, and he was waiting for the Eagle's Daughter to make a choice. Then it can be a generous reward, or a ruthless refusal. (To be continued.) )
