Before every siege, the Belu people like to use this method to severely suppress the morale of the defenders, and this time was no exception. Of course, for the sake of safety, this time the Belu only sent a force of about a thousand people.

The arrows whizzed down like a dense rain of arrows, and the streets and rooftops near the west gate were all shrouded in the enemy's arrows. The sound of the tuk tuk was the sound of the arrow hitting the roof. The tinkling sound was the sound of arrows hitting the street. It's staggered, but with a strong aura of death.

Meria and the others walked out of the command post of the military camp in the square, and saw that the street in front of them was already full of arrowheads, as if they had just been planted rice seedlings, and there was no place to stay. After a long time, the enemy's flying around the city stopped, and immediately a soldier rushed forward and collected all the arrows for later use, and in a very short time the defenders collected nearly 20,000 arrows, and it seems that the number of arrows of the Belu people was really sufficient.

All the arrows were improvised tied up with straw and stacked on the side of the street. This place is very close to the castle tower, and as long as there is a need for the castle tower, these bundles of arrows can be carried to the castle tower immediately. The Belu shoot arrows up, and the defenders shoot them down, and sometimes the battle is as simple as that.

"These Belu people are really wealthy. Planck looked at the bundles of crossbow arrows collected by the soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh: "This country should be the weakest of the Deathfjord countries, and it has plundered more and more resources through years of war. ”

"No matter how much they plunder, the population of Beru will not recover anytime soon. Will hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have even seen soldiers of that kind of youthful physique during the battle in Hamp City, and the Belu people have even brought their children to the battlefield. ”

Meria didn't answer, but walked out into the street, picked up a cluster of arrows, sighed softly, and shoved the feathered arrow into your hand.

"The three-edged one is open, which we produce in the Duchy of Beru. Ginny smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I got it from the looting of Hamp City." ”

Meria and everyone looked at each other, and there was a helpless wry smile on everyone's face, this way of raising war by war, in a short period of time, the Duchy of Belu can indeed wage war continuously, omitting the process of manufacturing war materials, as long as there is sufficient manpower and soldiers, it can start wars again and again.

Such a means of warfare is undoubtedly quite good for the ruler, the casualties on the battlefield are just a number, and it is the civilians of the Principality of Noah who really suffer.

Suddenly, a low horn sounded outside the city.

"No, the enemy wants to attack?" Planck whispered.

This trumpet sound was a signal for the Belu to attack.

Soon a soldier ran down from the tower.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the Second Legion, I want to see my lord by name. ”

"Go over and see. Meria nodded to everyone, if she avoided it at this time, it would cause a certain blow to your morale.

Surrounded by other officers, Meria hurried up the tower, tens of thousands of cavalry troops lined up neatly on the plain across the moat, but their position was just outside the range of the giant ballista on the tower.

Meria narrowed her eyes slightly, and in the opposing team, her eyes quickly caught the lead commander Frank Lampard, who had already fought once in Yode.

"You're the lord of Boer City?"

Frank Lampard's voice rang out from afar, his loud voice echoing across the empty plains.

"Aren't you afraid of killing you if you invade our land without permission?" Meria sneered: "I've heard before that the commander of the Second Legion fights without using his brains, so aren't you afraid that the other troops of the Principality will attack Hamp City at this time?"

"It's your business!"

Frank Lampard's response was immediately confusing for Meria.

"You and I are both soldiers, there is less nonsense from so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, our army is here, if you go back empty-handed, I will not be able to explain to my soldiers, either all the senior officers in your city will be surrendered, or you will disappear on the map like this Boer city!"

"Surrender is impossible, I know the success of your going in Yod, in Hamp, but-"

Suddenly, Ginny snatched the shield from the soldier beside her and pushed Merial away.

Sou!

An arrow flew past the edge of the shield, stinging everyone's eardrums and nailing it to the wall behind them, and the shaft and tail feathers even trembled slightly.

I don't know who fired the arrows.

Meria's face changed slightly, she could shoot a crossbow bolt of such power at such a distance, she was definitely a marksman no less than Kiru.

The arrow put an end to the dialogue between the two sides.

Tens of thousands of cavalry troops retreated little by little on the Great Plains, the rear turned to the front, even when retreating, the formation of the Belu cavalry was not the slightest disorder, the horse's hooves brought up dust on the battlefield, seeing the other party leave, everyone's hearts did not have the slightest sense of relaxation, just now this arrow, even more than the previous arrow rain to their morale blow.

This kind of enemy can even shoot powerful bows and arrows outside the range of siege bolts, and if they are facing this kind of enemy when defending the city, these soldiers can't help but feel a chill on their bodies when they think of this.

......

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the people of Ball City.

"My lord, our scouts have returned, and the enemy has set up camp less than five kilometers away from us. ”

Meria nodded and motioned for the soldiers to leave, the barracks in the central square were brightly lit, Meria did not go back to her tent to rest, but hurried all the non-commissioned officers in the army, even the squad leader who only commanded a few people.

Meria knew very well that in the troops of Boer City, let alone soldiers, even some officers had little combat experience, and what he had to do now was to teach them some of the most basic combat knowledge in defending the city.

"My lord, the morale of the soldiers does not seem to be very good. ”

Will leaned in and whispered in Merial's ear.

A large bonfire rose in the center of the barracks, the flames dancing merrily with the crackling of firewood, and the crimson light illuminated the faces of every soldier.

"It's normal, if you're going to war for the first time and you're facing an army that is many times your size, you're going to be scared and you're going to be afraid. Meria took a deep breath: "It depends on the performance of our gunpowder troops tomorrow, as long as we can repel the first wave of offsets, our morale will rise!"
