A long line of heads hung in front of the camp, their eyes wide as if to complain of unfair punishment, these unfortunate bastards were all the officers of the guard unit on duty last night, and the infantry regiment headed by them was a member of the Douglas family.

But in front of the furious Viscount Winston, everyone's persuasion and intercession were useless, and everyone didn't sleep well last night, the important thing was that the wood that the baggage troops had managed to process was burned clean in a fire, and more than 600 of the sleeping heavy baggage soldiers did not run out and were burned alive.

If it weren't for the fact that the captain of the baggage force also had good skills and experience in building siege equipment, his head would have been hung in front of the camp now.

Viscount Winston's eyes were red, and he ordered to the captain of the baggage with an iron face: "All the men of the three infantry regiments will go to help cut down the trees today, and let them do the transportation of wood, and tomorrow morning I will see the enough siege equipment I need, otherwise you know the consequences." ”

After speaking, Lord Viscount let out a terrible laugh, and the captain of the baggage brigade hurriedly gave a military salute, and then ran like a rabbit to urge his subordinates to work: "All the officers listen to me, whoever dares to be lazy today will be killed, if you don't complete the task today, before Lord Viscount cuts off my head, I will cut off your head first." ”

With the addition of three infantry regiments, the number reached more than 7,000, and the siege equipment was built much faster, and large areas of trees on the edge of the highland forest were cut down and dragged to the processing grounds.

None of them noticed that there were some mysterious figures lurking in the big trees not far away, they were dressed in green clothes, as if they were one with the trees, looking at the big trees that were constantly being cut down, and they were full of hatred for the private army who cut down the trees.

The leader was a middle-aged male elf, and the four magic patterns on his forehead showed that he was a great druid, and he whispered to a forest ranger on the side: "You hurry up and inform the Council of Elders, a large number of human troops have been found at the edge of the forest, at least tens of thousands, and I will stay here to continue to monitor." ”

The Forest Ranger saluted, and then leaped quickly from tree trunk to tree, his steps light without making a sound, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

At night, Viscount Winston learned the lesson of the previous night, and sent a third of his troops to keep vigil, and there were plenty of men to surround the small city, and there were no dead spots under the light of the great fires lit everywhere.

Winston finally had a good night's sleep, but Lord Viscount is not a professional military commander after all, the infantry of the three infantry regiments did not sleep well yesterday, and they still have to help assemble siege equipment tonight, and they are very tired after continuous busyness, and their combat power will be reduced by at least three percent in tomorrow's battle, not to mention the baggage soldiers who are tired into dogs, and they will basically be wasted in tomorrow's battle.

On the contrary, after last night's sneak attack, Master Modo not only caused huge losses to the private army alone, but also came back unharmed, and the human army was a little more numerous, and it was not so terrible, most of the militia thought so, and their morale was high.

The outcome of a war is often determined by countless details, at least now the balance of victory and defeat has shifted in favor of the Borg.

The refreshed Viscount Winston stood under the city, and a large number of siege equipment behind him were neatly discharged, until the heavy troops finally completed the task in the early morning, at the cost that all the baggage troops were now all spread on the ground, and they didn't want to move, and the infantry who helped were better, and under the arrangement of the professional officers, they had a little rest for two or three hours.

Storming carts, small manpower stone throwers, and ladders were all the siege equipment that a heavy army could make in this humble situation, but before he could use the carts and ladders, Viscount Winston had to deal with the moat.

With the order, a thousand strong crossbowmen, escorted by a thousand infantry with shields, slowly marched towards the city, and the strong crossbows with a range far greater than the bow and arrow could completely suppress the guards at the head of the city.

What's more, the level 12 wind mage has exhausted his magic power, and has blessed the 400 strong crossbowmen with wind magic, which has greatly enhanced the range and accuracy of the strong crossbow, and several of his apprentices have also blessed the primary magic eagle eye technique for the remaining strong crossbowmen, allowing them to see farther and more clearly.

After arriving at the position, the crossbowman stood still, and the crossbow in his hand was aimed at the head of the city and was ready to shoot, and the orcs at the head of the city did not know when they all hid, and none of them came forward.

Viscount Winston's order was given again, and the two thousand infantry, who had been prepared for a long time, carried unarmed and carried sacks full of dirt and stones, hurried towards the moat, and as long as it went well, it would not take too long to fill a dozen offensive routes in the moat.

Lord Viscount thought to himself: "If you knew earlier, you should not kill the orcs along the way, otherwise you will not need your infantry to do such dangerous coolies." ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle at the head of the city, and more than a dozen wooden baffles on the city wall were pulled apart, revealing the trebuchet behind it, and the trebuchet that had been prepared opened fire violently, and the tail of the arm of the trebuchet like a large spoon was filled with fist-sized stones, and as the machine was released, countless stones in a dozen trebuchets smashed into the private army under the city like a dark cloud under the acceleration of elastic force.

The infantry and crossbowmen who were guarded by the shield were a little better, only a few people were knocked down, but the unprotected river reclamation troops were smashed to the ground in large areas, and those who hit the head were immediately finished, and the soldiers who smashed to other parts wailed in pain on the ground, just this wave caused more than 300 casualties of the private army.

At the orders of the officers, the unwounded crossbowmen fired their crossbow arrows around the trebuchets on the city walls, and at this time several large shields were erected around each trebuchet, and most of the armor-piercing arrows were bounced off them, and a small number of them were shot in, and they did not go very deep, and in an instant the large shields looked like thatch.

The panicked river reclamation troops threw the sacks behind them into the moat, and then quickly turned around and ran, such a hard work had to go back and forth dozens of times, they had just turned around and did not run a few steps, the trebuchet on the city wall was fired again, and a large number of unlucky eggs were knocked down.

"How did their trebuchets fill so fast. "Viscount Winston, who has received a military education since he was a child, still has basic military literacy, and he clearly knows that the trebuchet that can launch stones so far is at least medium-sized, and the reloading speed of medium-sized trebuchets is definitely not so fast.

He shouted to the trebuchet operators in his position: "You idiots, hurry up and destroy all the trebuchets on the city wall for me." ”

The experienced veteran roughly visually inspected the landing point of the stone throwing machine, and after adjusting it slightly, he gave an order, and more than 20 sturdy soldiers in front of each stone throwing machine pulled up the lever at the same time, and smashed a stone bullet of more than 300 catties against the city wall.

More than half of the stone bullets missed, a few stones that smashed on the wall were scattered, and two more crossed the city wall and smashed into the city, but fortunately there were no casualties among the people.

Six stone bullets fell on the city wall, and Niu vigorously waved the special mace in his hand to knock the stone bullets that smashed around him back into the moat under the city.

The unicorn ogre flint also learned to behave, and fought hard with the stone bullet in the air, and the stone bullet was knocked down, but the huge impact made the flint sit on the opposite side, and the blood in his chest churned.

The other four smashed into the city, one smashed a trebuchet to pieces, the flying wood chips filled the nearby militia with wounds, and the remaining three stone projectiles hit the militiamen either dead or wounded.

Less than five minutes after the battle began, the Borg militia began to suffer casualties.
