157 Teases
On that day, the offensive and defensive battles around the walls of Tournest were extremely fierce.
After suffering a loss under the city gates, the Lackadians pushed a second assembled battering ram to a section of the city wall not far from the city gate, where the ramming began.
This time, they no longer take the enemy lightly.
Previously, because the Tournestites had not rushed out of the city to try to drive them into the sea while they were still on the ground, the Lackadians had a contemptuous attitude towards the infidels in the city, who knew from Abu's intelligence that there were very few armed men in the city, that they were only trained to maintain order, and that they were not well equipped - and that they did not seem to have prepared for battle.
The first day's encounter proved their prediction, and the Turnestes fled back to the city in a panic, closing the gates and allowing them to plunder the warehouses and warehouses on the outskirts of the city, with no decent counterattack except for some archery and stone throwing on the walls.
Therefore, many people think that after the battering ram is unveiled the next day, they can easily convince the people in the city to understand how powerful the truth is.
"It's just a pagan." They said that although the city was populous, and its geography and architecture were good, the truth was on their side, and the siege would be very smooth.
Therefore, they gave the work of plundering, which was quite oily elsewhere but here delayed them from getting more oil, to Abu the outsider, and they were busy talking about how to distribute the infidels in the city, the wives and daughters of the infidels, and the property of the infidels after the city was broken.
The wicked idols of gold and silver in the city must be smashed and melted into clean gold and silver coins, the wicked clergy in the city who do not know the truth must also be killed to cleanse the city, and the unbelieving barrels in the city must be kept to celebrate the victory...... Belch...... Keep it for medicine.
However, the battle of the second day shattered their wonderful prediction, and the city's will to resist was resolute, and it seemed to wake up from the panic of the first day, and began a planned and premeditated counterattack.
They were able to secure their ground that day with Abu's timely refence, but when the Turnestites were forced to retreat into the city, they threw torches and burned the main parts of the battering ram: wheels and logs.
The hundred-pound hammer head that had been placed at the front of the log had not been burned, but it was located just under the city gates, and anyone who tried to remove it would have to face the threat of a hot oil shower.
They unloaded the second battering ram from the ship, which they had prepared to attack Turnest together, but because the first day's attack was too smooth, they thought they could intimidate the Turnestes by putting on a show, so they did not remove it from the ship.
Abu was very active, he organized the assembly of battering rams overnight, and worked overtime to supervise the construction of siege ladders and catapults.
He did these things in his camp on the outskirts, and by daybreak the second battering ram and several siege ladders and catapults had been built.
Above the battering ram, Abu cunningly covered the hides of oxen, which had been soaked in the river overnight, from the catch he had taken from outside the city, so that he would not be afraid of fire. The person pushing the battering ram can also hide under these cowhides without having to raise a shield to cover them.
And when the Laccades drove the slaves to push the battering ram against the walls, the Tournestrian did not watch in vain.
When the giant hammer (which looked like an enlarged version of an iron hammer on four wheels) was covered in cowhide and headed straight for the city of Tournest, the catapults on the walls were no longer hidden, and stones were thrown one after another.
It is a pity that the accuracy of these catapults is half a pound and half as the accuracy of the Rakad catapults, and the stones whistling through the air cannot be said to have not hit the other side, and it cannot be said that they have not caused casualties to the other side, but these catapults have not been able to stop the long drive of the battering rams.
When the battering ram was about to hit the city wall, a large cloth bag was placed on the wall.
This is the same method used in both the East and the West to deal with battering rams: a pocket full of wool to disperse the battering ram's momentum.
"Shoot arrows, shoot rockets!" Abu commanded.
Shining rockets pierced the sky and whizzed, one hitting the pocket, and the townspeople had to take the wool bag back.
"Okay, impact!"
The head of the battering ram slammed against the walls of Tournest, and its loud sound was reminiscent of the trident used by the ancient legend of the Sea King to shake the earth, and the noble ladies who were gathering in the convent to pray screamed that the end was near.
Luo Yi covered her mouth and tried not to let herself scream.
If the city is broken, I think that the fate of her, a traverser, will not be much better than those noble ladies who are not traversers-why didn't she put more armed forces in the city in the first place!
Because this is the bishop's city, not her Brad's territory, she wants to guard against the bishop's backlash, she wants to ......
As a result, she was funny.
Crossing the Great Demon King, there are people who are equipped with excellent horse breeds for smuggling and a staff department, but it's a pity that ...... All in Brad Territory...... There is only ...... by her side Half an arsenal key.
Luo Yi looked at the key he carried with him, and had mixed feelings.
"Alas, don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people." She said to herself, "Patronizing and guarding against your own people will end well!" Look at me now...... Looking at Turnnest at Nuoda, can you find anything more funny than me? β
She didn't expect that in Tournest, there was indeed a comic Cheng dΓΉ who was on par with her.
"! That damn aunt! β
The villain, who was sent by the Countess of Fisher to assassinate Baron Brad and the Baroness, is now on the walls of Tournest, fighting for the freedom of Tournest and the peace of the Baroness......
Well, he was sent to assassinate Baroness Brad and her son.
However, when he met with the bishop and was about to ask for his recommendation, he met the monks of St. Hillary's Abbey to present two treasures dedicated to St. Aubrey and Tournest.
When the bishop knew who he had sent and what he had come for, he made a point to give him access to the two treasures, and talked to the monks who gave them about their value and weight.
"In old times there were wise kings who cultivated farms and vineyards and built houses in the wasteland, and then gave them to the poor bishops, and they became good talks. The two treasures that the Duke of Ulrich has given to St. Aubrey and the Cathedral today are worthy of such an estate. The bishop said, and the monks said yes.
The hands of the villains are simply inseparable from the treasure.
When the Lackadians came to attack the city, the bishop and the others rushed out to check on the situation, and he saw a good chance......
No one can teach him to break up with the treasure!
He took the goblet and the holy book into his bosom, and the blade fell, and as he stooped to pick it up...... "Behold, a thief! Aunt Hansen's voice nearly deafened his ears, and her sharp grip left the villain defenseless.
The villain has always thought that he is a powerful person, but now he knows that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky.
With all the stolen goods in place, the benevolent bishop gave him two choices: either spend the rest of his life in the confinement of the monastery in Tournest, or go to the walls to fight to atone for his sins.
So, now he is fighting for the freedom of Tourneste and the peace of the Baroness......
