Chapter 341: Siege

() The next morning, the sun was still slowly climbing above the horizon, and the world had not yet finished waking up, and the earth was still covered with a thin layer of thick fog.

On the walls of Muslon, the torch that had been burning all night had been extinguished, and a little black smoke was still floating weakly into the sky. Because of Aaron's black gun, a vampire soldier lying behind the city wall carefully raised his helmet and shook it, and after finding that he was not beaten, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted around: "That killing god should be gone, everyone can get up and move!" ”

"Finally gone, where did these church soldiers find the killing gods, hundreds of brothers were killed and wounded in one day, and we didn't know where he attacked us!"

"Not only us, but also several lords have been opened by him, I guess, we can't hold on this time!"

"Nonsense, Lord Dracula is invincible in the world, how can he not hold on, as long as the Lord makes a move, it will be easy for us to win!" Another soldier retorted.

"Then the adults have been hiding in the castle for several days, why don't they make a move?"

"Maybe you're preparing a killer move!"

"Maybe I'm scared and ran away!"

"You fart!"

"You're a fart!"

The two soldiers became more and more arguing, and when they were about to fight, they were suddenly interrupted by the loud sound of a military horn piercing the white mist in the distance.

…………………………………………………………………

As the trumpet sounded, there was a sound outside, and through the white mist illuminated by the sun, a faint black line reflecting the metallic light could emerge on the other side of the horizon.

The black line slowly approached, and finally became clearer, and the lines turned into small black dots, and then, the small black dots turned into black shadows.

These black shadows appeared on the horizon in waves like a tide rushing onto the shore, slowly surging from another part of the earth, and finally, these black shadows became clearly visible figures.

Dressed in heavy plate armor and flat-topped steel helmets with white feathers on them, the hoplites armed with halberds and shields marched in unison, as if they had been cut with knives by obsessive-compulsive disorder, and their footsteps rumbled like thunder echoing across the earth.

These soldiers were in a group of 100 people, and the centurion wearing a red cloak and a column of horsehair helmets was on the left side of the line, and every thousand people were a phalanx, and the flag bearer with the floating flag of the Holy Cross walked on the left side of the phalanx, and next to him was a centurion wearing a steel helmet with a longitudinal horsehair, similar to the centurion's dress, except that the centurion's mane on his helmet was red, and the centurion was black.

When the phalanx infantry entered the battlefield and stopped outside the range of the opponent's catapults and ballistas, there were a few whining bugles, and dozens of scorpion crossbows and trebuchets were pushed out of the military formation by the Nigo slave soldiers with their upper bodies and only linen shorts on their legs.

On top of these delicate siege machines are serious auxiliary soldiers, who are not only the makers and maintainers of these weapons, but also the users of them.

"The distance is complete!" There are soldiers who transmit data to the marching array.

"Launch!"

The first to fire was the farthest trebuchet, these heavy siege equipment that were also more than ten meters high each had several tons of bells, and the long boom could throw dozens of pounds of round bullets at a distance of more than eight hundred meters, and Aaron also saw that these guys also prepared fire oil and holy water, enough for those vampire soldiers to drink a pot.

After more than ten seconds of flight, the ammunition fired by the trebuchet had already landed on the ground, to be exact, over the city wall, and smashed into the back of the wall, and then the broken stone bullets emitted a puff of blue smoke.

"Damn, now you know how to adjust the ruler!" Aaron watched as the second round of stone bullets fell, and red smoke came out again, and after the soldiers who were skilled at arithmetic readjusted their shooting data, the third batch of ammunition was replaced with a large treasure filled with holy water and fire oil.

The corrected trebuchet succeeded in covering Musillon's walls this time, and the broken oil and holy water were scattered from the broken ammunition, and the walls were soon covered in smoke.

Some of the vampire soldiers tried to raise their ballistas to return fire, but their ballistas were simply not far enough, and they only futile enough to stir up a cloud of dust on the ground.

The trebuchet stopped after firing more than a dozen rounds of ammunition, and then the auxiliaries directed the slaves to push the machines back to the camp for overhaul and maintenance.

However, these more than ten bombardments have colored Musilon's walls, and in some places the women's walls have also been destroyed, but the main body of the city walls still stands on the moat.

The trumpets sounded again, and this time it was the long-awaited phalanx of heavy infantry, who were responsible for climbing the city wall and tearing through the enemy's defenses once and for all.

The slave soldiers carrying the siege ladders shouted and rushed to the moat, they had been told that they could be freed if they climbed the walls, so although they were the last to set out, they were faster than the church soldiers closest to the walls.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, seeing that it was only a hundred meters away from the city wall, a sudden mutation occurred, a dense rain of arrows slanted down from the burning city wall, these slave soldiers in light leather armor screamed and were nailed to the ground one after another, hundreds of people did not survive in an instant, and the few survivors were also scarred, wailing and running to the rear.

When a gust of wind blew the black smoke away from the walls, the soldiers realized that the walls were filled with vampire soldiers armed with bows and crossbows.

After three rounds of forceful ejection, the archers retreated, replaced by crossbow-wielding vampire soldiers who stepped forward and pulled the trigger on the heavy infantry approaching behind.

The sharp Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows instantly knocked down a platoon of heavy infantry, but the fallen comrades did not affect the pace of these fanatical church soldiers in the slightest, they crossed the corpses of their comrades, grabbed the fallen ladders, and continued to move on.

When the vampire soldiers on the city wall projected long-range fire, the archers and ballistae of the church army also began to return fire, although the accuracy was not as good as that of the sniper rifles of later generations, but the scorpion crossbow could still shoot the vampire soldiers into sugar gourds at a distance of two hundred meters, and there were several in a string.

The arrows that had been fired at the infantry turned to the archers of the Church Army, and the two sides began to fire fiercely.

Without firepower, the heavy infantry of the Church Army was now much easier, and dozens of ladders were set up on the city wall in turn, and the soldiers of the Church Army were now one step away from success.
