Chapter 196: Welcome the Trumpet of Victory Together, or Welcome Death Together
As Ronnet's voice fell, the catapult at the back of the formation immediately began to operate, and suddenly huge boulders rose into the air.
The hoplites standing at the front began to move slowly, the shields in their hands held in front of them, their eyes resolute, but the sweat on their foreheads revealed the nervousness in their hearts.
In particular, the soldiers standing at the front of the military formation had a decisive intention in their eyes.
These people are the real warriors, whether it is defending or attacking, the warriors who stand at the forefront can be said to be certain to die.
They were behind them with a force of longbowmen who followed.
"Protect your lordship!"
On the walls of the town of Deay, the knight of Willis roared angrily, and then the light of extraordinary power on his body bloomed, and he immediately showed his great strength.
Then he jumped and clenched his fists with both hands and smashed a roaring boulder, which immediately splashed and injured many soldiers' heads.
Not all soldiers were equipped with iron helmets.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier with a huge shield quickly gathered around Count Deay, protected him with the large shield in his hand, and slowly retreated to the city wall.
"Willis, we must stop them! we must not let them break through the city wall, we must not lose!"
After getting off the wall, Count Dee turned to look at the soldiers who were falling on the wall, and his eyes were split, and he clutched Willis's arm and pleaded.
His eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will defend the glory of the Deai family to the death. ”
Knight Willis was just about to turn back to the battlefield when he stopped, turning his head to look at his lord, his eyes full of sadness.
In his opinion, they could not win this war, whether in terms of morale or equipment, their army was far from the Iron Tooth Collar.
"Now, I have to go and fight with my soldiers on the battlefield until the last moment, and together we will meet the horn of victory......"
Or to meet death together. ”
Outside the city, the army of the Iron Tooth Collar had advanced to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the city wall.
"Longbow troops, prepare to attack!" Ronat shouted with his sword raised in his hand.
"Longbow troops, attack with precision!" his subordinate officer immediately passed the order.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, the heavy infantry stopped and raised the shields in their hands to resist the enemy's arrows, and the longbowmen of the Iron Fang Leader behind them bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy standing in the front row on the city wall.
Bang! Bang!
A dull sound followed by several screams kept coming from the city walls.
The arrows of the longbowmen were shot with great and deadly force at the shields of the soldiers on the ramparts.
Because none of these shields were made of steel, most of them were simple skin shields, so the arrows were left on them.
It's just that some unlucky soldiers or soldiers with poor shields were instantly hit by these arrows, and then fell powerlessly down the city wall.
At this time, the weapons of the city wall also came into play, and one after another giant crossbow machines were aimed at the heavily armored soldiers at the front.
Whoosh!
The thick giant crossbow bolts roared in, and the armor of the heavily armored soldiers could not stop this terrifying attack at all, and in an instant, the shields of several soldiers were shot through and then nailed to the ground!
"Ballista come forward!" Ronnat's eyes narrowed, and he ordered again.
"The giant crossbow on the arrow tower of the target wall!"
A few soldiers pushed up a dozen large machines, and the ballistas brought by Jason made their debut in this world for the first time.
Precise strikes, powerful destructive power and long range are destined to become a nightmare for the enemy.
"Adjust the angle and prepare for launch!"
Several soldiers were ordered to immediately begin operations behind the massive ballista, which was one man tall.
It is a sturdy iron bar fixed between the two axles, which is very long, like a large measuring stick, and has been specially polished to increase accuracy.
The archer takes aim by the bow arm on one side, and then carefully places a large arrow into the slot of the wooden beam.
While loading the arrows, several soldiers next to him quickly turned the lever to pull the strings of the ballista to the fullest, this kind of power is simply an out-and-out murder weapon in this era of cold weapons.
"Ready!"
"Launch!" Ronnatt roared with a wave of his hand.
Buzz! Buzz!
A loud buzzing sound sounded, and more than a dozen large arrows roared out, flying towards the giant crossbow on the enemy's arrow tower with a sharp cracking sound.
"Poof!" "Bang!"
The sound of sharp weapons entering his body and the mechanical falling apart reached the ears of Willis, who had just stepped on the city wall, and he moved his gaze in disbelief to an arrow tower not far from him.
At this time, the fortification, which was loaded with a large, heavy but terrifying crossbow, had been hit by several large arrows, and the soldiers on it were all nailed to the wall or peeked out of their bodies.
Even the giant crossbow inside was shot by an arrow and was destroyed.
The precision of ballistas is beginning to show its strength on the battlefield.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The muffled sound of a trumpet sounded, accompanied by the sound of rumbling footsteps, and the army outside the city began to attack.

"Tell me, what the hell do you want to know?"
Xia Zuo stood in the hall and looked at the young man sitting in front of him, as well as Hassan, who had been standing with his head bowed to the side, and finally couldn't help but sigh and asked.
They had been in this state for almost two hours, and finally he couldn't hold back his mouth.
This kid is so calm that he doesn't open his mouth and he doesn't even open his mouth, which is not like the attitude of interrogating prisoners, but more like the posture of negotiations between hostile parties, except that he has no stool to sit on.
"A list of all the nobles in the Kingdom of Lopez who are involved in the Deep Blue Cross. Jason took a sip of hot water and exhaled.
Then he accidentally touched the wound on his face, and suddenly the bandage on his face was soaked with blood.
The little fox girl Lorna on the side hurriedly stepped forward to re-bandage him, but he waved his hand to stop her.
"Don't say I don't know about this kind of thing, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you. ”
Xia Zuo was taken aback by Jason's question, could it be that he still wanted to pull out all the ghosts of Lopez?
"That'...... Hiss...... Then tell me where you came from. ”
Jason couldn't help but touch his wound and gasped, not knowing if the wound would leave a scar.
"Deep Blue Cross, I remember I already said. Xia's left eyes were lowered, unmoved.
"So Gwendrin is also a member of the Deep Blue Cross?"
Jason couldn't help but smack his lips when he looked at his lack of oil and salt, so he had to take the initiative to ask, "What is her status there?"
