Chapter 264: Hope Cut Off

Char didn't hit Manninger with an arrow, and he regretted it in his heart. sighed in my heart: If my Gathering Bow is still there, even if this arrow can't kill this old boy, at least it can make him hang the lottery, and in that case, it will be very good for the morale of the people.

His Gathering Roaring Bow had already been destroyed in the snake cave of Damandras, and during the last battle, the underground river water was polluted by magma, which was strongly corrosive, and Char finally saved Ah Cai and Su Ling, and fell into the river himself, although he did not die in the end, but most of the things on his body were destroyed in the super corrosive river water, and the super corrosive river water can corrode even the iron essence of things, not to mention the Gathering Howling Bow.

Although he regretted in his heart, he didn't know that Manninger under the city wall was even more shocked, although Manninger blocked the arrow shot by Char with one sword, but the blade was broken, and his arm trembled slightly, but before the army, he was calm on the surface, laughed long, and shouted: "Okay! When I break the city gate, I will definitely cut you!"

After speaking, Manninger rode his horse back into his array, he turned over and dismounted, and as soon as he landed, there was a leader of his tribe next to him who came to support, as soon as he touched Manninger's arm, Manninger suddenly snorted, pushed away others, raised his hand, and saw that his palm was full of blood, he took a breath and sneered: "This Char really has some ability, no wonder in the last war, even Hastings failed to kill him." ”

He glanced at the many tribal leaders beside him, and suddenly shouted: "He has such a warrior in Byzantium, is it not true that our Bashak warriors are weak! Which of you can break through this city first, and all the slaves in this city will belong to this person! As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately excited, and several leaders of the tribe who were usually quite brave shouted one after another, and after asking for orders, they went down to reorganize their soldiers and prepared to attack the city.

I have to say that the short time of one or two days that Green won Char was very fully utilized, at least when the Red Snow Army was preparing to attack the city, they were disappointed to find that there were no woods around the city that could be cut down to make siege equipment.

Although their army was numerous, after all, they had traveled a long way to Byzantium, and they only brought a little rations, let alone siege equipment.

But the Odin were fierce by nature, and Manninger offered such a generous reward, and before evening, the Odin launched their first siege.

Because there was no siege equipment, this time the Odin attack, just let some Odin warriors shoot at the defenders on the city wall with bows and arrows in the back, trying to suppress the defenders on the city wall with a bow, and then several teams of Odin warriors on the ground took the opportunity to rush towards the city gate, holding something that ignited the fire, trying to set fire to the city gate and burn the city gate.

But the Odin people were not good at bow and arrow archery, and the city wall was condescending, after all, the Odin people's back shooting suffered a big loss, and the sharp wooden stake of Min Jian had been planted under the city wall, leaving only a passage in the middle of the city gate, and the Odin people's charge was forced to crowd on the middle passage, and the Byzantine defenders on the city wall shot more easily.

As for the intention of trying to ignite the fire, although it also successfully rushed to the city gate, a lot of stones were suddenly dropped on the city tower and more than a dozen Odin warriors gathered under the city gate were killed on the spot, and as for the flames, they did not have time to rise at all.

The Odin then organized a larger attack, this time sending at least a thousand warriors to charge, and these Odin braved the rain of arrows on the city walls, but instead of attacking the city gates directly, they ran to clear the rows of wooden stakes under the walls. The Odin warriors, all in armor and heavy axes, roared and roared upwards, rushed to the front of the stake, slashed hard, cut the stake, and then immediately teleported to the back.

Char on the city wall saw it in his eyes and sneered: "Ha! They are here to grab firewood!" Then he ordered the archers to shoot in the direction of the front of the stake.

At this time, although the Odin people forcibly cut down two rows of wooden stakes and snatched away a hundred and ten ruthless, they left more than a hundred corpses. Almost exchanging a life for a wood, such a tragic price made Manninger frown when he saw it in the military formation.

It wasn't until dawn that the Odin's attacks finally stopped. The wooden stakes under the walls were almost half torn down, and after they were carried back, the work area among the Odin began to speed up the manufacture of equipment.

Manninger also ordered the warriors to rest and recuperate, and when the rations were almost exhausted, he still ordered some of the rations to be taken out to feed the besieging teams.

In the morning, the Odin embarked on one of the largest siege battles, and a rudimentary siege wagon made of improvised wooden stakes was pushed out, with wooden wheels installed under it, and a thick layer of animal skins on the stakes to ward off the arrows, and the thickest piece of striking wood was hung in the middle. One hundred and ten Odin warriors crowded around, shouting and roaring and pushing siege bulls towards the city gate, and many Odin warriors followed with shields, and under Manninger's order, the archers in the army also began to continue shooting, shooting at the defenders on the city wall, using bows and arrows to suppress the bows and arrows on the city walls.

Although Char shouted loudly on the city wall to supervise the battle, the quality of the defenders was not high after all, although he was condescending, but the quality of the archers was too low, and the quality of the soldiers was not as good as the Odin. Gradually, the Odin people pushed the siege cart under the city gate! Seeing that although the Odin people left a lot of corpses along the way, when those Odin people saw that the siege vehicle was pushed under the city gate, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted one after another, and for a time the roar of tens of thousands of people overwhelmed the shouts of killing on the city wall! The Odin warriors under the siege vehicle had already lost a lot, but once someone fell, there were naturally Odin warriors behind them, and one hundred and ten people pushed the siege vehicle under the city gate, and immediately began to hit the door.

In the midst of the banging sound, the Odin people shouted and roared wildly, and the morale on the city wall was significantly weakened.

Manninger, who was in the distance, saw it in his eyes, and immediately took the opportunity to draw his long knife and shouted: "Bashak warriors forward!!!!

At this time, suddenly more than a dozen heads came out of the city tower, pouring more than ten barrels of liquid from the city tower, these liquids were viscous and black, and suddenly all of them were poured into the siege vehicle and the Odin warriors next to them, and then several torches penetrated from the city tower, and suddenly there was a bang, and the city gate turned into a sea of fire! The siege engine was certainly turned into a huge ball of fire, and the hundreds and ten Odin warriors around it also ran in all directions screaming and fleeing, many of them were covered in flames, rolling back and forth on the ground, and some were killed by the crossbows falling from the city wall after just a few steps! Manninger in the back was furious when he saw it, but instead he shouted: "Although the fire hurts our warriors, it will also burn their gates!

He jumped on his horse and raised his sword, and suddenly rushed out of the brigade of Odin warriors around him! Char stood on the city wall, holding a bow and arrows, although his archery skills are not top-notch, but much stronger than those defenders, every arrow shot, the city will inevitably be shot down an Odin, he shot continuously in one breath, the quiver is empty three, and still shouting to fight hard, although the defenders around him are weak, but there are Alfrecat and Hawke, the two original warrior leaders, plus the original soldiers, are fierce people, still fighting to the death, seeing that the defenders are afraid, it seems that they want to retreat and flee, Char suddenly dropped his bow and arrow, and cut down a deserter with a knifeStanding on the tower of the city, he shouted: "Don't kill the cowards!! Your family and relatives are all in the city! Once the city is broken, under the butcher's knife of the Odin, all the doors will be destroyed! The ones who bring seeds will fight with these guys!!"

With him fighting with a knife, coupled with his shouting, suddenly those cowardly defenders plucked up their courage, after all, Char was telling the truth, many of the defenders were locals in the city, and the fierce reputation of the Odin people was too strong, every time they fought, they did not leave prisoners, even if they fled at this moment, once the city was broken, it was still a dead end, it was better to fight.

The fire under the city gate was soaring, seeing that although the siege vehicle was burned, but the door panel of the city gate was also ignited, for a time the fire was raging, and the Odin people were excited, rushing towards the city gate, although the arrows above their heads rained down, but once these barbarian races in the north became fierce, they were really not afraid of death, although people kept falling from arrows, but no one flinched.

Char saw that many of the Odin people rushed to the city gate, and immediately laughed: "It's time!

A team of mercenary warriors who were originally hidden in the city tower rushed out, all of them were selected strong and powerful people, and the huge boulders and other things that were dismantled from the city slammed down towards the city gate, and the Odin people under the city gate had already been crowded into a ball, so smashed down, they didn't even need to aim, and suddenly many of the Odin people below were smashed on their backs, and some people were smashed into meat on the spot! In the midst of Char's wild laughter, he grabbed a stone the size of a millstone and smashed it down, and a leader of the Odin Bashak tribe was directing his soldiers to rush forward, and suddenly he saw that the top of his head was black, and as soon as he raised his head, he was pressed underneath and immediately turned into a meat pie! Manninger still refused to give up, although he saw that his men were injured a lot, but he knew his current situation better! Time waits for no one! If he can't forcibly take this city and get no supplies, his tens of thousands of troops will be without food and water today!! Finally, I heard the sound of the Odin calling from the people in front of me. "The gates are open!

Hearing this voice, Manninger's heart was originally overjoyed, but when he sat on the horse and looked at it, he couldn't help but scream, and his voice was full of resentment! I saw that although the city gate was burned down, and the Odin people smashed it, it finally cracked and collapsed, but under the city gate, it had been blocked by a pile of rocks and earthworks like Little J+! Seeing this, Manninger finally made up his mind in his heart, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tell the horn to blow the trumpet, let the warriors come back!"

His heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't help but look up at Char's figure on the city wall.

What a ruthless boy!!He actually blocked the city gates by himself!!As the commander of the Odin, Manninger is naturally not an amateur when it comes to marching and fighting. The lonely city is besieged, and the defenders themselves block the city gate, which is undoubtedly a clear determination to die! Because generally speaking, even if the city is besieged, the defenders will not choose to block the city gate themselves, and if they come, they will block the city gate and cut off the way to break through the siege, and second, once reinforcements come from the outside world, they will not be able to enter the city to rescue! Obviously, the defenders of Denzel City are clearly putting on a posture of living and dying with the city! This blocked city gate is to tell Manninger that "we don't plan to run! We don't expect reinforcements!" After the besieging army came down, Manninger rode around in front of the battle, looking at the tall walls of Denzel, annoyed and anxious.

His tens of thousands of troops came here, and under normal circumstances, even if the enemy army had the will to fight to the death, he would definitely not be able to resist himself. But the problem is that they have no food, no siege equipment, although there are many people, but they can't let the soldiers use their heads to hit the city wall, right? ! There is still a way to solve the siege equipment, although the defenders have lost the woods near the city, but after all, there are mountains and forests in the distance nearby, as long as you take the time to cut them down, you can naturally create countless siege equipment.

But the question is...... Do you still have time?

I didn't capture this small city for a day, but my army was really completely exhausted! At this moment, night fell again, Manninger stood in front of the battle and refused to leave, and a subordinate came by his side and offered food: "Patriarch...... Let's have something to eat......"

Manninger glanced back, his eyes on the object in his hand, it was a black meatloaf, and he shook his head: "Take it to the Guardian Warriors." ”

The subordinates wanted to say something, but when they saw Manninger's determined expression, they could only shake their heads and leave.

After a while, several more clan leaders came over, and one of them immediately asked, "Patriarch, what should we do when we run out of food?"

Someone else said, "Anyway, we have come to Byzantium, and since the defenders of this small city are defending to the death, we don't have to waste time here......!

"Today, my warriors were injured a lot, but when the warriors came back, they couldn't even eat a full meal...... Hearing the complaints of these subordinates, Manninger raised his eyebrows, and was about to scold, but suddenly his heart moved, looking at the eyes of his subordinates, his face suddenly smiled, he smiled very easily, deliberately pointed to the city wall in the distance, and proudly shouted: "These Byzantines are stubborn, can they stop my army! As for the food...... Hmph, we Bashak warriors, can't we even endure such a little hardship? We don't have the will to do this, do we still want to take away the land of the Byzantines!!"

When he said these words, his subordinates immediately fell silent.

Manninger was not blindly suppressed, but then smiled faintly, pretended to be relaxed, and said loudly: "Didn't I leave 5,000 men and let Morka raise food on the wildfire! Morka is loyal and brave, and he will definitely do his best to fulfill my orders! In the wildfire town, he tried his best to prepare food, and he thought that at most at dawn, he would come with food! When the time comes, are you still afraid that you will not have food!"

After all, when the wildfire fed the fed, Manninger left his eldest son Morka, and brought 5,000 people to prepare food on the spot, everyone saw it, thinking that they had been fighting here for a day and a night, and the 5,000 people of Morka should have come with food soon.

"Patriarch...... Although the food matter was solved by Morka, there was no drinking water. One of the leaders was full of sorrow: "These Byzantines are cunning, and all the way they go, the water sources have been blocked or polluted by themselves, and now their warriors have parched mouths and have begun to drink deer urine!"

Manninger listened, his face calm, and he just looked at the leader who spoke.

When the guards next to him heard this, they couldn't help but shout angrily: "Shut up! What do you know! The patriarch didn't drink a drop of water today! Do you know what the patriarch drank today!"

Speaking of this, the guard warrior had tears on his face, gritted his teeth, and said, "The patriarch drank his own urine today!!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence, and the tribal leader who opened his mouth to ask for water knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted: "Patriarch! I deserve to die! The dignity of the patriarch can endure humiliation and drink urine! Our warriors under our subordinates, even if they drink their own blood to quench their thirst, will not retreat!"

With that, he stood up and turned his head.

The leaders of the other tribes also looked generous and excited, and went to reorganize the army.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Manninger sighed, patted the guard warrior beside him who had just spoken, and said in a low voice: "Well done, you are very smart."

With tears streaming down his face, the warrior whispered, "Patriarch......

Manninger smiled proudly: "We have come out of the nest just to take away the land of the Byzantines! How can a small setback shake my mind at this moment! Hmph! Drink urine today so that we can drink wine in the palace of Osgilia tomorrow!!"

After a pause, he turned his head, looked at the north, his eyes were deep, and said slowly: "That guy Morka, it's time to come! Send someone to hurry up and rush in the direction of Wildfire Town!"))) Manninger was full of anticipation, and in the second half of the night, he finally waited for the news of his son! He was waiting, and his guard warriors ran over with two dusty, embarrassed Odin warriors.

The two Odin warriors pounced in front of Manninger, and when Manninger saw the faces of these two men, his heart sank l_ suddenly......! Lord Morka sent us to report that we, we, we were on the Wildfire Slope, and we were attacked......"
