Digging tunnels is different from digging trenches, narrow tunnels can only allow one or two people to pass, and the speed of tunneling basically depends on the speed of the diggers, and the extra people can only carry soil behind.

Toth heard his immediate boss give him a death order, and thirty people wanted to dig through a 150-meter tunnel with stone tools, but they could only dig day and night.

After organizing the language, Toth said: "My lord, if you divide thirty people into two groups and dig the tunnel day and night, it will only take eight days, and you can dig through it in eight days!" ”

He brought forward Thor's planned date by another two days, which immediately made Thor's smile on his face.

Seeing this, Toth thought that if he had done this, it would be a sure thing to be promoted to the knighthood, so he whispered a few words of flattery in Thor's ear, and Thor, who had satisfied his vanity, laughed so much that the fat on his stomach trembled.

The next day the slave offensive slowed down, and the nine hundred slaves only made a symbolic two waves, and after dropping down two dozen corpses, they retreated.

The same is true on the third and fourth days.

Gu Guo, who was standing on the lookout, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the two siege towers. The two towers have not been touched since the enemy forces moved the two towers more than a hundred meters away from the city walls two days ago.

Of course, he would not be naïve to think that the enemy's commander is a mentally handicapped AI in a strategy game, sending heads to his side in waves.

Gui Zheng, who was standing next to Gu Guo, held a moment and observed the displacement difference of the siege tower on the ruler through his left and right eyes, calculating the distance from the tower to the city wall.

"Ji Gugu, the distance has been calculated, between 150 and 155 meters."

"Okay, you go and fine-tune the shooting angle of the four-bed crossbow, such a big thing, the error of five meters can be ignored. Put two rounds of arrows and see what they're up to. ”

"Good!"

Gui's movements were fast, and he was familiar with the performance of the bed crossbow, and he adjusted to be familiar with the road, relying on the lookout mountain on the bed crossbow, aiming at the two towers at three points and one line, and then working with the soldiers to raise the elevation angle of the bed crossbow and lock it with a bronze buckle.

When all four bed crossbows were commissioned, the pigskin gave an order, and four roars pierced the sky, following a predetermined parabolic trajectory, and pierced into the two siege towers of Tor.

Sitting in the middle of the tower, Thor felt a jolt under his feet, and then heard a pig-killing cry from below, and he hurriedly picked up the shield at his feet, curled up and moved to the staircase leading to the lower level.

I saw that the base of the thigh of a private soldier had been completely broken, and there was only a layer of skin attached to the knee and calf, and the wooden wall of the siege tower had been shot through a large hole.

The wailing privateer didn't pass out immediately under the influence of his body's frenzied adrenaline, his expression contorted, and he grabbed his calf in pain, trying to fight it back. However, the blood spurting from the short thigh and major arteries was a sign that his life was coming to an end.

The surviving private soldiers hid far away, and the two bold ones peeked nervously in the direction of the Gu Kingdom city wall through the hole the size of a football.

"They're shooting arrows! It's the kind of arrow that shot a slave three days ago! ”

"Their people didn't go away, as if ...... Fast! ”

A sharp-eyed private soldier saw four crossbows and crossbows and someone slammed down with two pieces of wood, and then one of the four black shadows dilated in his pupils, and before he could shout the word run, a muffled sound of a stick breaking a watermelon rang in the ears of his teammates beside him.

Coincidentally, one of the second round of arrows happened to shoot into the hole left by the first round of arrows, and the private soldier who was observing through the hole was shot in the head without any suspense.

The red and white thing splashed Thor's body, causing everyone around him to shiver.

The people in the other tower were lucky, as the flying wood debris from the arrows only scratched the skin of three people, while the others were fine.

Although these eight expensive arrows only killed two people, the deterrent effect was truly shocking.

Thorl had never seen a bed crossbow, but had only heard of this Far Eastern weapon when the nobles of the Roman Empire were communicating, and due to the limitations of his own vision, he greatly underestimated the power of the bed crossbow.

Although the front row of the slaves was shot through the wooden raft at a distance of two hundred meters, the thin wooden row was only used to resist the arrows drawn by a single person, and it was understandable that the wooden row with a thickness of only four or five centimeters could not carry this one-meter-long and two-finger-thick arrow.

But the tower's façade was nailed up with two thigh-thick logs, and even a small catapult would have to be smashed several times before it collapsed!

"It's no longer safe in the siege tower, let's retreat! Thoth, you stay here to protect these two towers, and the extra mound of earth from digging tunnels must not be discovered by the people of the city! ”

Thor grabbed a figure who was about to retreat with the crowd, and the man who was pulled trembled and nodded stiffly in order.

So Toth and his thirty tunnel-digging privatemen were left behind in the tower, while Thor withdrew to the rear with the rest of his cronies.

Naturally, the pigskin would not shoot another round of bed crossbows at the dozen or so people who fled to the rear, and the probability of hitting the running people at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters was the same as hitting the plane with a bolt-action rifle, and he stared at the dozen or so people who escaped and frowned.

Gu Guo, who was standing on the lookout, was the same as the pigskin, counting the number of people who had escaped from the siege tower one by one.

There were seventeen of them, but he clearly remembered that there were more than forty people living in those two towers a few days ago, and there were two people who carried a load of food every day to be responsible for the food of the people in the towers.

Gu Guo waved the flag of shooting, and the pigskin standing on the city wall understood it, and he also found that there were more than half of the people who fled.

Naturally, it is impossible for the thirty people who are missing to be killed by two rounds of arrows, and even if two rounds of arrows pierce two, they can only shoot sixteen people, but such a record is absolutely impossible.

With Pigskin's order, four arrows flew in the direction of the two buildings again.

Hiding behind the tower, Thoth shivered, the whistling of arrows piercing the sky and the muffled sound of hitting the tower's walls beat his fragile nerves, and every time he plundered, he hid behind Thor and watched the private soldiers fight in front of him and then sit back and enjoy the success, the pride and courage of the initial battle with Thor had been exhausted in the past four years of contented pleasure.

He was afraid of death, but he could not refuse Thor's orders, his current position was given by Toller, and he was nothing without Thor.

Toth huddled behind the mound of dirt he had dug out of the tunnel, calculating the risks and rewards of the siege.

Pigskin, who had climbed the tower, was worried, the enemy's movements in the past three days had been too abnormal, and it was completely different from the fierce siege and attack he had envisioned.

"Goo, do you stand tall, see clearly, count how many people have fled?" Pigskin asked.

"Seventeen escaped." Gu Guo replied.

"It's strange, the thirty people who went there won't all die, right? It's impossible to disappear from under our noses......"

"Disappear...... Disappear? ”
