"Lead the cavalry to the war you deserve, the glory will be yours, and I will arrange the rest for you. ”

These were Lynn's exact words to whisper to Duncan before he set out on the expedition.

Duncan thinks that since the lord said so, there is nothing wrong with it, and if there is, it is just that he and other subordinates have not done the job they should have done.

The 30 seagoing ships lined up along the coastline were connected by iron locks, and the brackets that were originally more than ten meters tall on each seagoing ship were slowly erected, and as the decks of the seagoing ships were connected to each other, the brackets began to be gradually assembled under the movement of the sailors.

Huge objects stood like iron towers on the sea outside the widow's city.

On the widow's wall, Sir Kerry had only a vague grasp of what the colossal thing was, a creature several times larger than a careful counterweight trebuchet.

The end of the throwing arm on the giant counterweight trebuchet began to be hung by the sailors on the distant deck, and the heavy loads that required several people to be hoisted with ropes at the same time were able to load.

This is really a weight weight that has reached a terrifying level, no wonder it needs to be escorted separately by sea ships, and it is difficult for several war horses to pull forward in the mud on land.

The widow's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his face was full of horror in the next moment.

The sailors began to fill the leather bags at the other end with hundreds of pounds of stone bullets.

The prelude to the war has already entered the preparatory stage.

When the sound of trumpets sounded from the shoreline, the northern and southern camps outside the widow's city immediately responded with rumbling horns.

The widow looked at the watchtower of the castle and soon observed two cavalry marching from the camp.

The long-awaited enemy attack was about to begin, but the widow looked at the soldiers on the city wall but could not raise the confidence that she had before, and the behemoths that towered over the coastline, although they did not know what they were, they were just looking at them in horror.

The north wind is howling, and the wind is howling.

The cold sea breeze sends chills down the back of the spine.

When the cavalry at the north and south ends of the city began to converge towards the city gate, the sky exploded with a terrible and dull sound like thunder.

A dozen sailors stood under a giant counterweight trebuchet, with the chain-linked deck beneath their feet, and although the hull still shook slightly, it was negligible compared to sailing at sea.

Sailors use a winch to pull down one end of the projectile, etc., while the other end of the weight in front of the bracket is lifted high, which allows the trebuchet to gain a huge amount of potential energy.

After loading the stone projectile, an operator signaled, and the sailor grabbed the rear of the giant counterweight trebuchet like a slender man, and began to desperately pull the lever into an elevation angle of 70 degrees forward, when several giant counterweight trebuchets were all unified to this step.

A squad leader waving a pennant decisively waved the command flag on the mast of a command ship.

Immediately, the operator drew a sailor knife with a sharp handle, and without hesitation, cut the rope tied to the pedestal.

Under the effect of the lever principle, as one end of the heavy object falls from a height, the stone projectile at the other end will also be affected by the reaction force and thrown homeopathically.

Unlike the man-powered catapult, this weapon is more powerful, and the best of them can throw stone projectiles weighing up to 400 or even 500 kilograms, and at the same time, since the force of each projectile is almost the same, it can hit the same position of the wall several times.

A dull rumble, accompanied by the shaking of a giant counterweight trebuchet, resounded across the shoreline.

The Widow's Hope Siege War began at this moment.

Hundreds of pounds of stone bullets drew a parabola from a height of 500 meters in the sky, one moment it was still the size of a fist in the sky, and the next moment it turned into a black shadow the size of a bucket like the top of Mount Tai, and smashed towards the widow's east city wall.

"Ah~"

The widow who was in charge of patrolling and defending the eastern wall looked at the garrison commander Sir Kerry in panic, his throat as if his throat was blocked by a fishbone, and he roared all around.

"Dodge!"

"Hide. ”

Bang!

No sooner had he finished shouting than a loud bang exploded in his ears, and the walls of the city were suddenly filled with dust kicked up by rubble.

A siege trebuchet of this magnitude would be a terrible disaster for any soldier defending the castle.

The soldiers at the head of the wall were in a hurry, although the boulders smashed were not dense, but the first round of shooting just now had caused the outer edge of the city wall to collapse, and the enemy's attack had just begun.

Another cloud of dust rose into the sky, and boulders smashed not far from the location of the last hit on the wall, and a wave of gray air swept around the nearby soldiers who wanted to strengthen the wall, carrying broken armor and weapons and ricocheting around the wall.

The widow, who was lucky not to be affected, hid her head under the battlements in confusion, and could do little but pray that the next stone bullet would not hit the top of his head.

"Return fire with ballistas. Someone shouted.

"It's useless, if the ballistas could reach that distance, we would have attacked them a long time ago. ”

After a few rounds of boulder shells, deserters had already begun to appear.

A few soldiers like headless flies began to flee to the city, and just now their squad was hit by an oncoming boulder, and the ten-man squad did nothing, and for a moment only two lucky ones were left to escape.

The experience of being smashed directly into flesh by a boulder, I don't want them to witness it once.

They had just stormed down the walls.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Flint family, who were supervising the battle, rushed forward with a wild scream, drew their swords and cut down these escapees, the battle had just begun, and there were absolutely no deserters allowed in the city, which was a sign of death before the battle.

But a dozen or so frightened garrisons were forced back from under the city by the overseers with spears in their spears, just as the two sides hesitated to kill each other.

Thundered!

A loud, long-lasting explosion sounded in their eardrums.

The crowd looked back.

I saw that the middle section of the city wall on the left could no longer withstand the repeated bombardment of the boulders, and collapsed in half, and the entire half of the city wall was abruptly flattened to a meter high, and the stones that built the city wall rolled down and fell into the city outline, making a thunderous roar.

Everyone on both sides of the confrontation looked at this scene in a daze, how long has the Gripen Legion's attack begun, the time for a glass of wine, or has it not arrived at all?

Whimpering and screaming woke them up.

A whole garrison of soldiers had no time to leave the crumbling wall, and when it collapsed, they slid down with the sloping wall, each with a horrified expression on their faces, and roared with exhaustion.

Shouting for help, calling out the names of loved ones, cursing or simply invoking the gods, all of them are accompanied by desperate hysteria.

"The head of the city can't stay any longer, let's go down to the city wall. ”

During the confrontation, a deserter who was the first to wake up suddenly spoke, and then fled towards the city wall like a wilderness, what inspectors, what the Flint family didn't care, he didn't want to die so humiliating and miserable, he shouted as he ran, his voice was very loud, and the overseers and deserters who passed by were shocked.

Sir Kerry's dusty face lifted from under the battlements.

Several of his own soldiers dragged his body and retreated under the city wall in the rear, after the sixth and seventh rounds of blows, the city wall could no longer stay, and every section of the city wall could collapse at any time.

With the air filled the air with the breath of near-death despair, the widow looked at the garrison commander with an irrepressible look in her eyes, looking up at the clear blue sky, her eyes full of despair.

And just half an hour ago, he and his soldiers were full of confidence and hope.

Now that hope was dashed, any garrison that had experienced such a terrible battle would have nothing but ashes on their faces.
