Lord of the Oasis Chapter 470: .The castle finally broken

The allied nobles who have assembled the siege equipment have begun the prelude to the siege.

The polished and round stone **** were thrown directly by the long arm of the trebuchet, streaking beautiful curves, and smashed heavily on the city wall. The soldiers in the city felt as if they had been attacked by a sling, and they all groaned painfully while covering the parts they had hit.

If it hits the key point, or if the arms and legs are not protected by the leather armor, it will be a fatal blow. If you fall on the city wall on the spot, you will lose the possibility of continuing to fight, and you will be eliminated from the arena.

The Wayne family has been sticking to Grothenburg for decades, and has accumulated a lot of defense materials.

Includes these catapults and ballistas with their accompanying stone bullets and spears.

These are stockpiles.

In order to use Grothenburg as the center of resistance after the fall of the Southern Commander, with the help of the vast Northern Commander Plain and the advantages of its own cavalry, the troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom, which are mainly infantry, will be consumed on this battlefield.

It's like bloodletting, so that the invading troops can only retreat, or even surrender the occupied land.

This is the strategic plan for the Principality of Lions.

Unfortunately.

And went bankrupt before it could be used.

Because Kant's subordinates, Fatis and Rolf, are forcing those knights to start an attack on Marsburg. As long as they break through here, the portal of the Southern Territory will be opened in front of them.

It's up to them whether to knead or knead!

And the leader of Nanjun is still shirk.

The war begins.

But it wasn't the defensive battle against the Silver Plate Kingdom as originally expected.

It was Kant who didn't take it to heart at all, and was equal to being exiled, but he came back!

The second son of Archduke Cameron, the son of Princess Sophia of the Silver Plate Kingdom, has the second line of succession and has occupied the entire North County Territory, and even in the news, even the East County Territory has occupied a small part that young man!

The fighting continues at Marsburgh, with catapults and ballistas whistling and throwing stone balls.

A terrifying vibration resounded through the sky.

But no way.

The people of Marsburg are still holding on.

The castle that took decades to build, although not a top-level castle, still has a good defensive effect.

The most important thing is that after these catapults and ballistas bombarded, the city wall collapsed a little, but the main body still stood, and the casualties of those soldiers were also controlled within 200. .

If it is calculated according to the conventional method of warfare, if you want to capture this castle, you will have to pay at least thousands of casualties.

Coffatis and Rolfe were not prepared to do so.

Too many casualties can affect troop morale.

The allied nobles, now coerced and lured by them, can't stand the setbacks.

On the contrary, they also need an extremely happy victory, and the victory of Marsburg is the most crucial goal.

Therefore, they issued an absolute order, requiring the Wayne family to disassemble all the siege weapons here, and uninterrupted day and night, let the infantry throw stone **** at the city wall and bombard the main body of the city wall.

This is also very effective.

With each impact, the walls creaked and cracks appeared on the surface.

The city wall has been unable to support for too long. After all, the city wall of Marsburg is built with a layer of stones on the outside, filled with crushed stones and soil on the inside, and then a layer of stones on the outside, which seems to be solid.

If a section of the city wall is blasted away, then the main piece of city wall will completely collapse.

And now.

The section of the city wall that was bombarded with deliberately concentrated fire was really about to reach its peak.

After a morning of bombardment, around 3 pm, the city wall was covered with large and small pits. The entire city wall was dented inward in a visible appearance, and even cracks appeared on the city wall.

On this wall, there are no soldiers left behind, and they dare not stay here.

Even the entire wall defense has been abandoned.

The main body of the castle at the rear has been arranged for more soldiers to defend.

The castle is the most important defense system. The city wall is only an external obstacle that delays the enemy's attack. When the city wall falls, the enemy's siege equipment and morale will also be consumed to a certain extent. At that time, it is easier to defend the castle.

At least in castle defense, it is much safer than city walls!

“Boom—”

Finally, under the constant bombardment of the trebuchets, the city wall finally collapsed.

Smoke suddenly overflowed, a lot of gravel and soil fell down, and the soldiers on the surrounding city walls and towers, as if they had received some orders, quickly gathered and appeared behind and on both sides of the collapsed city wall.

Next, it is around this collapsed city wall, and the battle for the city wall begins!

This is also a good time to hit the siege.

During a siege.

It doesn't mean that the collapse of the wall means the fall of the castle.

The collapse of the city wall is only a small section, and the width is not even 5 meters, but it is precisely the width of 5 meters, the rear is always stationed by troops.

This is a battleground where life drains ~IndoMTL.com~ and it is also a major position where defenders can drain the morale of attackers.

The attackers tend to have a desperate mentality.

This mindset manifests itself when climbing walls or directly attacking city gates.

Once it is consumed, the overall morale will drop. Unlike the defender who can recover morale by boosting morale, the longer the delay, the greater the advantage of the defender, especially if they can all withdraw to the castle. When the main body is waiting for help, it has an absolute advantage.

In the feudal era, it was unbelievable to attack the main body of a castle that was completely blocked and had food and drinking water reserves.

And in the case of such a Western feudal lord, a tough battle that lasted for several months is enough to be considered a long time!

"Attack!"

Rolf swings his sword forward.

Just behind, groups of nobles and coalition infantry began to charge.

Holding spears, they pressed hard step by step, and soon approached the collapsed city wall, but the oncoming arrows also poured down quickly, and the infantry of the noble coalition fell to the ground, but more people went straight to the ground. rushing inwards.

Just now, the army of 10,000 people has launched a general offensive!

Don't care about casualties at all!

Even on the inside of the city wall, the eyes of Viscount Kevin on the main body of the castle were about to pop out.

Originally, his arrangement was to prevent the enemy's tentative attack.

Available now.

Direct attack.

Thousands of thousands of people poured in together, like a tide.

Although the archers at the top of the city wall fired, and the ballistas on the towers bombarded, casualties were everywhere, but it seemed like a drop of spray was splashed in the sea, and more infantry rushed towards it frantically.

And in full battle where the walls collapsed!
