Chapter 106: Hold on?

The Charlton men on the walls of the manor kept shouting and cursing.

They were not afraid of the cavalry outside the manor.

Since the lord of the manor did not want to see this young nobleman who seemed to be full of heroism outside.

And the cavalry on the opposite side had nothing to do with the attendants on the city wall, so they simply cursed the people on the city wall.

Lynn squinted, noticing a guy with a strong mountain accent and a sharp duck voice scolding the most ugly.

Looking at the way he spat and flying, he almost took the cavalry of the Lynn Guards outside as a target for venting.

Lynn pointed to the city wall, his face was cold, "Thin monkey, remember that guy, you skinned him for me after the city was broken!"

"My lord, this craft is also possessed by the people of the Horror Castle, and the subordinates will not. ”

Lynn glared at him, "Then why don't I send you to the Skinner's territory for further study?"

Sterling was silent when he heard this.

I have to say that in order to prepare for war, the manors in Riverland are very tall.

In particular, the manors left over from the war of the usurpers have all experienced the baptism of war.

At the expense of money, each manor has raised and thickened its walls.

The wall in front of Lynn looked a few years old, and it was so thick that it couldn't be called a wall, and it even had the feeling of a city wall.

There is even a special lookout hole under the archer's battlement at the head of the wall for reconnaissance, and for crossbowmen to shoot arrows that can only shoot horizontally.

There are also the city walls on both sides of the main gate, which is even more outrageous.

It is all made of stones, and it is not much more than the material used for the walls of the Twin River Cities.

Because the manor is located in a mountain pass, many of the materials for the walls are omitted.

The estate is surrounded by mountains on three other sides, and the sloping stone slopes are the best natural barriers.

Where is this manor, it is simply a castle.

Lynn looked at the surrounding terrain, if it was a strong attack, it was estimated that it would be very troublesome, the area that the opponent needed to defend was very small, even if two trebuchets were moved, it was estimated that it would be difficult to break through the enemy's city defense.

Of course, if Lynn initiates a ruthless attack, he will directly transport all the trebuchets outside Twin Rivers City to the door, that is, this manor will have to shed its skin even if it has a turtle shell on it.

Lynn didn't plan to do this, and used dozens of trebuchets to attack a manor, and it was estimated that it would make people laugh to death.

Medieval siege armies used a variety of siege weapons, such as ladders, battering rams, siege towers, bed crossbows, trebuchets, and more. They would also dig tunnels under the walls and collapse them by destroying their foundations.

Of course, besieging the city and cutting off food is also a good option.

However, none of the above methods are very practical for the current situation, others have strong walls and are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the owner of the manor is still a wealthy family of grain growers, and there are no hungry people for half a year and five years.

Just look at how hard it was for the early medieval walled army to break through the city, just look at how tough it was when the 5,000 Guards of King's Landing defended Stannis's 100,000 army.

Sitting on a piece of bluestone, he used a giant axe to chop the thick oak at his feet, cutting both ends of the oak into sharp ends.

Han Niu's strength was very strong, and it didn't take long for his feet to be full of stacks of pointed oak.

Lynn's Knights of the Guard, except for Duncan, who led a team of twenty men and was on guard outside the city, the others dismounted and took off their armor and joined the ranks of the fellers.

"My lord, aren't you really going to summon some more legions?"

Standing on the bluestone, looking at the movement on the walls of the manor, Sterling couldn't help but ask, looking at Lynn there, chewing on the wild fruits picked from the mountains.

This kind of small round fruit is the favorite berry of the common people in the long summer season, the fruit is not big, round, sweet and sour to eat, in fact, you can eat a lot of delicious food without spending money.

The berries went down, and Lynn patted her bulging belly and stood up.

After two busy hours, there were more than a hundred pointed oaks piled up on the ground, and the width of the opposite wall was estimated, and Lynn was very satisfied with the current progress.

He stood up and handed the remaining berries to the cow on the side.

After a full burp to expel the acid from the berries from his body, Lynn smiled and said to Sterling, "I also want to summon an army of tens of thousands of people, even if I don't need it, it looks magnificent, but no, you are all human beings, and if you are human, you have to eat."

Counting the grain we have captured in Twin Rivers City, and the surplus grain in the fishing village port, even if we raise an army of 10,000 people, it will not take long, three days, just three days! ”

For example, if you take a city in three days, if you loot all the food in the city before the enemy lord sets fire to his granary, you can maintain the army until the next siege.

If enough food is not scavenged in the city, the situation will be catastrophic.

The thin monkey didn't understand what the adults were saying.

However, he did get a little hungry, although it was still within the limits of his tolerance.

But seeing Han Niu stuffing the berries into his mouth indiscriminately, without the slightest intention of sharing it with his good brother, he was angry.

It makes sense for Lynn to reward the bull.

Two hundred sharp oaks, half of which were made from under the bronze axe of Han Niu.

From the afternoon to the west, the pile of sharp wood in front of Lynn was taller than a person.

Lynn patted her ass and stood up, "Almost." Fill the gates of Charlton Manor with these oak stakes diagonally, and we'll call it a day. ”

Guftavo pinned the bronze axe to his back, and the huge man stood up from Lynn's side like a hill.

"My lord, what's the use of these things, let's go back, and the people in the manor will come out in the evening to pull these up, isn't that a waste of work?"

Lynn slapped the back of Han Niu's hand, this is the place where he can go to Han Niu, where his skin is thinnest, unless the other party takes the initiative to lower his head, he will be asking for his own hardship.

"Stupid! It's so easy for them to pull these things, so they're not afraid of arrows?"

Han Niu sighed, "Isn't this still a siege?

Lynn smiled coldly, "I didn't have much interest in the manor opposite, the wheat field outside is almost ripe, there is such a season of rations a year, let's harvest all their grain, even if they survive this year, it will be sad next year."

Besides, more than 500 oak trees as sharp as spears are blocking their gates, and we only need to send a dozen crossbowmen to station here, so we can surround hundreds of people in the entire manor, so why not. ”

Hold?

The corners of Lynn's mouth curled, see who guards whom!

That's what war is.

You think you're not afraid of the other side, so you're ready to wait for the enemy to attack, and you want to rely on the city's strong spears to fight desperately to the death.

However, don't forget, the initiative of the war is the most important, a manor built along the mountain, really regard itself as a pass of a military point in the city?
