The next day, the Laccades assembled siege engines and catapults under the city of Turnest and prepared to launch an assault on the city of Turnest.

The main parts of these things were now unloaded from their ships, and the slaves, under the command of the craftsmen who accompanied them, began to assemble the siege equipment using various materials obtained under the city of Tournest.

The Lackadians divided their forces into three parts, the least of which was to oversee the manufacture of siege equipment, the other part guarded the gates in case the people inside the city came out to destroy the siege engines under construction, and the third part was to sweep the surrounding wilderness, searching for possible reinforcements and gathering grain.

Abu volunteered to work on the third part of the work that Achilles had done.

They found many valuable goods in the warehouses near the Teng River, but they did not find the grain and hay they were looking for, because the church in Tournest bought all the grain produced in the region, and forbade the merchants to transport it to the outside world. As for hay, fools store it in warehouses by the riverbank.

In the ancient world, collecting grain for the army has always been an important job, if all the logistics supplies are transported from the rear of the country, the consumption on the road is too amazing, from the beginning of the collection all the way to the sprinkling of mildew loss, the transporter and pack animals eat horses and chew, the real arrival of the battlefield is a small part, a large number of valuable materials are along

The road is consumed. Therefore, Sun Tzu once calculated that because of the enemy's food, it not only consumes the enemy's materials, but also avoids the loss of manpower and material resources caused by the transportation of materials. ”

For the armies of this world, it is not only militarily correct to feed the enemy, but it is also one of their main goals, and it is more comfortable, easy, and profitable than the management of the rule.

In the so-called "Trojan Siege that lasted for ten years", Achilles was busy attacking the city-states of "Trojan's allies" for nine years (although these city-states did not send a single soldier to Troy), robbing money, food and women everywhere he went, fully satisfying the supplies of the Greek coalition forces that came from afar

On request, as well as the needs of the allied Greek generals including his own spiritual entertainment. These self-proclaimed civilized Greeks, in the name of fighting against the Trojan allies, did not even spare the daughter of the local sun god priest and captured her as a slave girl, thus leading to the Homeric epic poem "The Iliad".

The many conflicts between the generals almost changed the outcome of the Trojan War.

Therefore, Abu volunteered to take part in the work of collecting grain, because the work had oil and water, and it did not delay him in collecting other oil and water, and according to his estimation, the gates of Tournest would not be breached today.

Later that day, the siege engines were the first to be assembled.

In its original form, it was a long, thick log that was carried by human beings against the gates or walls. Later improvers added iron to the head of the wood, and because they were superstitious about the impact force of the ram, they carved the iron into the shape of a sheep's head, so it was also called a sheep's head hammer.

There are several ways to drive the hammer, the most primitive of which is to be carried and struck by a human as before; The improved version was to install four wheels under the wood, and it became what the East called a rushing car; Another method used against a fort built on a hill above level is to build first

A high platform, then set up a tripod-like stand on the high platform, tie a rope in the middle of the log and hang the log on the support, so that the height of the log can reach the fortress wall, and then everyone drags the log back and then lets go, and the battering ram hits the wall by inertia.

Now, the target of their attack was the city of Tournest, which was built on the flat ground of the riverbank, so they assembled a wheeled siege engine, that is, a log placed on four wheels and pushed by human power to hit the city wall.

As soon as the siege engine was assembled, they pushed it under the gates with great interest, and sent a loud voice to call out to the city, asking them if they now knew the truth.

This man was very unfortunate, and when he came to speak, the bishop was standing at the city gate.

Hearing such a peaceful suggestion, the young bishop, who had already sold his soul to the Demon King, did not hesitate to throw a stone with his own hands in response, his accuracy was not good, but the number and loyalty of the fan group made up for this shortcoming.

Because the fans immediately imitated the idol's behavior, and thanks to the renovation of the church, the stones on the city walls were abundant, and the unfortunate messenger of peace was buried alive by the stone like an adulterous woman.

"The Bishop has stoned and killed an enemy with his own hands!"

Such morale-boosting words immediately spread throughout the city.

Although the fatal blow may not have come from the bishop, who can say that this propaganda is a rumor? The stone was thrown by the bishop, the enemy has already been killed, both of these points are undoubted, and one less comma in the middle is nothing!

Enraged by the infidel attack, the Lackadians immediately pushed the battering ram and began to pound the gates.

"Have all the pigeons been released?" Luo Yi asked.

"Yes, all as you commanded, three from the royal court, three from the abbey of St. John, three from the convent of St. Thomas, three from the Earl of Water, and three from the Lord's domain...... It's all out. ”

"Have you put all the little notes?"

"It's all gone."

"Hope...... Don't miss the big thing. Luo Yi muttered, in order to guard against the bishop, she hoarded all her troops in her own territory, but because she was greedy for the construction of the cathedral, she ran to Tournest, and now she ...... Being trapped in the city, the process is so funny! So funny that she had to admit that she was too funny! Now she wants nothing more than to fall into the hands of the enemy because she is guarding against her own people!

She is not at all interested in talking about a touching love in the captive camp, which is poignant and beautiful, and gives birth to a litter of babies!
