Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 119: Four days of expedition
Chapter 119: Four Days of Expedition
Three days later, Lorist went out with a family of armed forces with more than 1,000 people to attack North Wild Town.
It took less than an hour to ride the brigade and it took more than three hours to reach North Wild Town. Lorist could only shake his head and smile.
As expected, North Wild Town is waiting. The swords and guns on the city walls are bright, and the head is full of people. It seems that North Wild Town's Four Great Families is also ready to turn his face. From time to time, there are still several defending team members pointing at the Lorist side and shouting loudly.
Lorist send Patt Go to the ultimatum in front of the gate and ask North Wild Town of Four Great Families And the defense team laid down their weapons, opened the gates and surrendered, Lorist Can be seen in the past hundred years North Wild Town with Norton Family Forgiveness of affiliation Four Great Families Rebellion, as long as it is implemented in accordance with the regulations and rules now in place, Lorist Promise will not punish a person.
As a result, Patt was shot back by a random arrow before reaching the gate of the city. mount was shot as an arrow target. Patt saw the opportunity quickly and ran back without any injuries.
Lorist and the crowd are furious. This means that the North Wild Town people did not put Norton Family in their eyes and were unwilling to speak. They used arrows to greet the messenger. There was no worse rebellious behavior.
Forbearing anger, Lorist rejected the suggestion of everyone to immediately attack the city, and asked them to command the camp to set up a camp and cook.
North Wild Town has only two gates, one behind the other. It stands to reason that Lorist should establish two camps and block both gates. It was only one thousand people in Lorist, and it was too thin to divide it into two parts. Lorist also joined forces to set up a barracks at the front door, and the back door sent a team of cavalry to monitor, and only the defensive team guarding North Wild Town slipped out from the back door to attack the barracks.
If North Wild Town's defensive team really came to attack the camp, Lorist could not have expected it. He is looking forward to using a field approach to wipe out the attacking enemies. Not only can he give the North Wild Town a head start, reduce their morale, but also reduce their defense The troop strength makes the siege smoother. It's a pity that the North Wild Town's defense team deserves the name of a tortoise. They looked at the siege busy Anza camp on the wall without any signs of attack.
When all the chores are arranged, already is dark. Lorist checked the arrangements for patrol camps and secret whistle, and also rested early, and raised enough spirits to prepare for the siege of tomorrow, so the first day of the expedition passed.
On the second day of the expedition, having had breakfast early in the morning, Lorist and his men began to line up at North Wild Town. The plan for the morning is to lead a team of soldier(s) capable of horseback archery led by Joske. First round a few rounds around North Wild Town to find the weak points of defense, wait for the opportunity to launch a strong attack, and Lorist will take people to occupy a city wall or a gate. , When the followers immediately came and slowly expanded their advantages, they finally won North Wild Town.
Joske took two laps around North Wild Town with only four soldier(s)s, and was very lucky. After returning, the Joske reported: "No, I found that the original moat already was deepened and widened in front of the city wall. There is no way to rush under the wall without filling the moat. I also shot both the front and back gates. Only one arrow found that the inside was blocked by something. They seemed to be defensive and did not think about attacking. We can only make an idea from the city wall. I just ran two laps and bowed down on the city wall. There should be more than a hundred of them, all of which are hunting bows. They are of different types and pose little threat to us. "
Lorist was very annoyed. When he went to North Wild Town last time, he noticed the moat in front of the city wall. It was just a shallow trench. I did n’t expect this time but found that the moat had been deepened and widened, according to Joske. It is less than one meter away from the city wall, more than two meters deep, and about three meters wide. Because of the terrain, you do n’t see it until the front. You ca n’t find it standing on this side.
Lorist personally ran around the North Wild Town on horseback. It ’s strange that the dirt dug out of the moat is gone, but the moat is really like Joske said, it ’s impossible to attack without filling it in first. On the wall.
While ordering Reidy to return to Maple Wood Villa, Speer will be responsible for transporting a batch of straw bags and shovel tools for soil loading. At the same time, Lorist will let his soldier(s) go forward to cut logs, and make large wooden rafts and filling pads for arrows. Boxcar.
On the third day of the expedition, today ’s plan is to fill the moat ditch on the left side of the city gate by dozens of meters. Lorist is going to attack from this position. Joske directed a family of the squadron, soldier(s), holding dozens of large wooden platoons for blocking arrows, and proceeded to erect the wooden platoons less than 50 meters away from the city wall, and then ordered a small team of archers to rely on the wooden platoon's shelter to Shoot arrows on the walls, suppress the archers on the walls.
The longbows of this team are all simple versions of longbow. These longbows used for practice are made of a dense texture of yew. The process is extremely simple. A thick bowl of yew You can make a long bow, just cut out the shape of the long bow and then dry it. This simple version of the longbow is one foot longer than the official longbow, and the direct threat is only 70 meters away, which is about 30 meters worse than the formal longbow, and it is also inferior in accuracy and strength. Generally, you need to change the string after shooting one hundred and eighty arrows, and check whether the long bow is deformed. It can also be used as a training bow. Now the guards used to attack the city walls can only be said to catch the ducks on the shelves.
The official longbow uses a wood that is tougher than yew. After the felling, this wood is dried for a period of time and then immersed in a special grease for three months. , And then slowly dry in the shade. In the process of soaking and drying in the shade, it is also necessary to shape, and then wind, trim, shape, and polish. Finally, I have to paint several times, and wrap the leather sheath on the bow. It takes one and a half to two years for a formal longbow to be made. Such a longbow can even threaten Golden Rank's Knight(s) within a distance of one hundred meters.
The shape of the boxcar is also very simple. To be precise, it only looks like a few wooden rafts formed into a steeple wooden shed, and it is equipped with four wheels. The roof is also covered with a thick layer of wet soil to prevent being burnt by the rocket. . soldier(s) pushed the boxcar to the side of the moat in the boxcar, and Zhi Zhi raised the baffle in front to throw the grass filled with dirt from the back into the trench.
Everything went well in the morning. Under the suppression of the Longbow Team and the Joske God Arrow, the defending team on the city wall could n’t even lift their heads. They could only occasionally drop arrows from the jagged firing port on the city wall. Needless to say, there is no threat to the attackers below, and there are even more casualties than attackers. The trenches were filled for a short while and they should be filled in the afternoon.
Lorist let go of most of their hearts. Judging from the counterattack strength of the defense on the city wall, this siege is not difficult. Maybe it will win with a small casualty.
Unexpectedly, just after lunch, a wooden platoon was also erected on the North Wild Town wall. The defensive team above also relied on the cover of the wooden platoon to launch a counterattack against the long archer and the filled soldier(s), and the rocket failed Clay pots filled with fire oil were thrown down from the city walls, and eventually the boxcars were burned ...
Joske burst into power and shot down several large wooden platoons on the wall. Unfortunately, it was useless. He shot one, and there were more wooden rafters standing up in the city.
"Six longbowmen died, and 21 were injured. In addition, their longbow deformed and useless more than half of already. Fortunately, we have prepared more than a hundred of them this time, and they have been replaced. Eight. The soldier(s) family was burned to death, and 26 of them were rescued. Do you want to continue building boxcars? "Shadekampf reports to Lorist the number of casualties that failed to be filled today.
"Send a squadron's family soldier(s) to logging, and let the North Wild Town people see us continue to build boxcars, let them think that we can only attack again tomorrow, and reduce their vigilance. We prepare at night Once the moon in the sky was covered by clouds, we took the opportunity to carry the straw bag near the moat and fill it up overnight. "Lorist ordered. .
The arrangement of Lorist was unexpected by the North Wild Town defensive team. When they found the movement under the city wall, the city guard already was mostly filled. Watching the alarmed defense team and the torches thrown by the city wall, Lorist laughed: "Let ’s go, we almost go, it ’s okay. When we siege the city tomorrow, we will fill it with a few straw bags. Hope we will tomorrow You can win the city in one fell swoop and triumph in the first battle. "
On the fourth day of the expedition, it was a good day, and it was sunny.
Lorist was dispatched by the entire army. The family soldier(s) of the seven squadrons held seven long ladders and launched an attack on the city wall of North Wild Town.
Lorist brought Patt and Reidy behind the charging soldier(s) and approached the city wall. As long as there is a long ladder leaning against the city wall, Lorist believes that he can rush to the city wall to kill the Quartet and occupy a position on the city wall. It ’s a matter of how long it takes for your team to keep up.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters. As we approached the front of the city wall, suddenly the wooden rows of the city were laid down neatly, revealing a row of archers, crossbowmen ... ...
"Let's go!" With the city's order, the arrow rain poured down, and the family soldier(s), which was charging ahead, was like a sea wave hitting a reef, and it was crushed by being shot ...
Family soldier(s) fell down in the arrow rain, Lorist's eyes were broken, and they hurriedly yelled: "Retreat, retreat ..."
Joske The green long bow in his hand made a thunderous thunder, all the green lightnings flew towards the head of the city, and the archers and crossbowmen who were shooting down at the wall were planted. There was a panic on the wall, and the lined archers flickered around, and the four black defenders ballista behind them were revealed.
"Beep" four loud noises, four huge bolts flew towards Joske ...
Joske At the first sight of the four ballista defenders in the city, it was not good enough, so I could not help the horse to roll over and fall off the horse's back. With a bang, a huge bolt rubbed the back of Joske After that, he took away a large piece of carapace and lining, leaving a deep blood mark on the back of Joske, the blood oozed out, and the Joske was dyed like a blood man in an instant.
Joske's mount already is divided into several blocks by three bolts, and the ground is blurred.
Joske hit two rolls on the ground and jumped up. The pain behind forbearance opened the green long bow in his hand again, the light flashed, and a green long arrow hit a city head. The black defender ballista, ballista cracked, and smashed several guards who were busy winding around. The other three defenders of the ballista defender hurriedly pushed the defender ballista and left the city.
Joske shot the arrow and the whole person was stunned. Lorist rushed over and rushed back to Yingzhai with his back on his back.
With a bang, Lorist's resentful punch hit a long table made of half-separated logs, leaving a deep fist mark on the table.
It's too hateful, too irritating. No one expected the North Wild Town's defensive team to be so old and treacherous. Two days ago, they used a hunting bow to counterattack. Sitting and watching Lorist's siege men filled the moat, making Lorist think that North Wild Town didn't have much remote defense counterattack power. Until today, Lorist was ready to attack North Wild Town in one fell swoop, and suddenly hit Lorist, caught off guard, causing serious casualties.
There are several pieces of animal skin paper on the long table, which is a list of casualties calculated by Shadekampf. In just one quarter of an hour, nearly three hundred people were killed or injured, including eighty-three killed and more than two hundred wounded. Even Reidy went to the rescue and made an arrow in his shoulder. If it weren't for the first soldier(s) family wearing iron chains, the casualties would have doubled.
Joske is not a big deal. The back was rubbed by bolt. It was okay to take the medicine, but he stubbornly shot an arrow and destroyed a defender ballista. This last arrow hurt the blood in the back, so that The wound is cracked, and there is no better than ten days of rest.
"Lord(s), morale in the barracks is very low now, and we cannot continue to attack the city tomorrow. It really surprised us today. How could Kitano Castle have so many crossbow bows? There are even four defending cities ballista? "Patt said.
"Maybe I know where these crossbows came from." Pacico bowed his head and said, "Four years ago Great Young Lord took the family iron rider to fight around Second Prince. At that time, there were hundreds of people in the North Wild Town defensive team following Great Young Lord. They were responsible for the logistics of Great Young Lord and the family iron riders. After each battle, they were cleaning the battlefield. When I was captured by Great Young Lord, I also swept the battlefield with these defenders. At that time, I found that these defenders were very focused on collecting. Weapons and equipment are put together even if they are damaged. I know that they handed in iron armor and money, but I did not expect them to conceal long-range weapons such as longbow, crossbow, and even the defensive ballista ... "
"Be careful, they started preparing to rebel at any time four years ago. No wonder these years, more and more, they have not paid attention to their families. Do they think that North Wild Town can be saved with these long-range bows? I must remove this tumor. "Lorist said with gritted teeth.
"But we can't approach the city walls!" Patt said.
"Night strike, as long as you let me go up, you can win North Wild Town!" Lorist said looking at North Wild Town in the distance.
