Camelina crouched behind the female wall, looking at the enemy who had just appeared in the distance and then continued to advance slowly, he spat at it.

"Aren't these people afraid of death?"

However, when Gu Guo built the bed crossbow, he did not use it as a main battle weapon, resulting in only more than 30 arrows in stock, and there was no ammunition for four bed crossbows to shoot eight or nine rounds, so the camelina needed to save the arrows in a more useful place.

More than 200 meters behind the slave procession, two tower-like buildings could be faintly seen being pushed forward by dozens of people. If you have watched the movie Heavenly Dynasty, you will definitely be able to recognize this as a European medieval siege tower, and soldiers can directly step onto their own walls through the platform at the top of the tower.

However, the two siege towers were advancing slowly, and it would take at least half a day to advance to the bottom of the city, and the immediate priority was to deal with the group of slave soldiers who were advancing with wooden platoons.

Gu Guo, who was standing on the lookout, waved the flag to the defenders below, which was the signal of the fire attack.

Arrows tied to flammable materials and coated with tung oil were neatly placed on the ground, and when the slave team moved to a distance of about fifty meters from the wall, five hundred rockets were fired from behind the female wall.

The animal skins on the slaves, which had not been washed for months, became the best accelerant at the moment.

At least a few dozen of the six hundred slaves were contaminated with the flames from the arrows, and the oil-stained leather coats burned them to the ground in an instant.

The slaves who had been shot dropped their stone axes and clubs and rolled on the ground, howling miserably on the ground, and for a few moments they did not move.

The slaves in the front row collapsed, and the rational ones hurriedly picked up their companions around them, and ran to the rear with the wooden platoon on their backs, in their opinion, the wooden platoon could still withstand the rocket attack.

And those slaves who lost their minds were not so lucky, and in the process of running backwards, they opened multiple gaps for Gu Guo's archers, and hundreds of rockets flew into them, and a wave of harvesting took more than a dozen lives.

The rolling and wailing of his teammates and charred corpses on the ground completely broke the will of the slave soldiers.

As soon as the siege began, the main attack of the slaves exceeded 10% of the battle losses, and the more than 100 people in the front row who raised wooden shields were killed or wounded by more than a third.

Standing on the siege tower in the rear, Tor witnessed the battle, and he felt threatened by the four three-bowed crossbows on the walls, which were said to have been used by the Cyris Empire in the Far East to siege and defend cities.

The rout of the slaves heralded the end of the day's offensive, and the situation that Thor had intended for the slave soldiers to be pushed under the walls without any trouble did not materialize. He reduced the four hundred slaves of the feint attack to zero and rearranged the ranks of the charge.

The efficiency of the slave soldiers was unusually slow, and under the threat of stone axes and spears, the privates spent an afternoon kicking out more than two hundred slaves who were responsible for fighting the wooden platoons in the front row, and the rest were somewhat gloated that they had escaped.

At night, bonfires were lit inside and outside the city walls, dozens of swaying sparks jumped in the early autumn evening breeze, and Gu Guo, Pigskin and others sat around to discuss the next countermeasures.

On the first day, the commander of the siege exchanged the lives of nearly 100 slaves for the city defense strength on Gu Guo's side, and only 700 people participated in the battle, while there were currently 1,700 people on their side, the difference in numbers was nearly three times, and the only advantage on Gu Guo's side was the moat and city wall.

"Goo, we go out of the city at night to carry out a night attack, like the last time we fought the yellow-haired tribe, what are the chances of winning?" Yu, who had been promoted to be called the squad leader, asked.

"That's when we caught them off guard, and now the group out there is more than twice as many people as we are. Our ninety people who have practiced for more than half a year can deal with a maximum of three hundred people, and the remaining 1,400 do you want to let our six hundred people fight against them? ”

Purple replied, he knew very well the strength of the soldiers on his side, the phalanx of ninety people could barely deal with three or four hundred people, but the number of the other side was already more than a thousand, even if they were sharpened with arrows, they could be consumed alive.

"Goo, we have two ox carts!"

"How can you use an ox cart at night? Cows can't see the road, and if the driver is holding a torch, the three people in the car are live targets! ”

Everyone, no one can fight for a reason, except for those who participated in a battle against the yellow-haired tribe, the rest are all new soldiers, and even the battle in the north four years ago has no reference to this day.

Just as Hua and Yu began to discuss the possibility of using ox carts to attack the battle at night, Gu Guo suddenly thought of the famous biochemical weapon in the four famous novels "Water Margin" - gold juice, commonly known as dung water.

In the current context of self-preservation as the greatest morality, the use of biological and chemical weapons against the enemy will not only not be condemned by future generations, but will also set up inscriptions to praise the great achievements of their ancestors in defeating the invaders.

Therefore, Gu Guo had no scruples about proposing the method of boiling the dung with water and putting it in a clay pot as a throwing weapon.

The high temperature will burn the enemy's skin, and the bacteria in the feces can make the wound rot and not heal, and now Gu Guo has done everything to preserve the seeds of his own civilization.

Whether it's gold juice or rolling stone wood, as long as it can kill the enemy, it's a good thing.

When the pigskin proposes to smear the arrow clusters with dung, everyone present laughs disgustingly and wickedly.

The night attack plan was not successful, and the two ox carts should be placed at a regular time in the overall situation, and used to break through the local phalanx, and to cut and drive away the remnants of the opponent's defeated army with the advantage of high mobility, rather than using them for night fighting.

The night watchman stayed awake all night, and Thor's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt that this city was very tricky.

When he attacked Constantinople in his previous life, Grand Duke Oleg brought 100,000 men, and although the castle was strong, the defenders of the city were less than 5,000. Now he had to face seven hundred defenders, and there were only 1,700 men left on his side, half of whom were slaves!

In this next day's attack, he must change his plan, attacking the dead private soldiers will make him stormy in the rest of his reign, and the food is only half a month's worth of food, and if he does not send a few hundred slaves out to hunt, his subordinates will not be able to consume those in the city.

"Thoth, how long will it take to dig a tunnel from us to the city wall?" Thor asked one of his cronies.

The two siege towers were placed side by side about 150 meters in front of the city walls, and behind them just stuck the observation corner of the observation tower in the city.

"Give me ten men, and I can dig the wall in twenty days!" The man named Toth commanded, knowing that this was a shortcut to his knighthood.

"I'll give you thirty men, can you dig up the wall in ten days?" As soon as Thor heard that it would only take twenty days, he immediately had the hope of breaking the city.
