Power and Empire Chapter 8: People’s War
A big water chestnut weighing tens of catties screamed and rocked and hit the front of the watchtower next to the trench. Amid the huge and violent impact, the wooden tower was smashed by the sharp water chestnut. On the right half, the wood inside the tower suddenly splashed, like a firecracker thrown into the sky and exploded. Du Yu, who was ambushing in the distance, secretly smacked his tongue. He didn't expect that this makeshift catapult would be so vigorous.
"There must be siege fighters adjusting the catapult below, otherwise it will not be so accurate." Statunko, who participated in the official siege, did not expect this broken catapult to be so accurate. It only took more than an hour, and after adjusting the left and right ten times, it accurately hit the target. In the past siege battles, it was often the case that the target was hit without hitting the target for a day.
"Siegeman?" This is the first time Du Yu has heard this strange new term. Du Yuguang feels that he should be someone related to the siege. Does this world have a dedicated siege engineer?
"They are the people who are responsible for making and adjusting siege weapons. These people are very precious. The entire kingdom has only heard that they are in the king’s army. I didn’t expect to find them here.” Statunko saw Du Yu quickly explained with a look of doubt on his face
Statunko’s words made Du Yu feel happy. Du Yu had long discovered that even the smallest lord in the world had to find ways to build a stone "comfort nest" for himself. If he could have one "Siegemen", then these lords who like to hide in "turtle shells" are money bags in their hands, and they can hit anyone they want to hit!
Seeing that the obstacles in front have been cleared, the soldiers of Sir Ketokahou who watched the excitement outside the castle raised the siege ladder that was temporarily cut from nearby tree trunks and yelled forward. The first few soldiers Using the long plank in his hand, he placed it on the deep ditch outside the castle, and the passage to the inside of the castle had been opened.
"My lord, the castle is about to be breached. Are we going to attack it too" Seeing more than a dozen heavy armored knights in vests have begun to slowly move towards the castle, the hunter leader Crolitsat saw The troops of the Marquis of Ketoka outside the castle all showed their deadly backs, rubbing their hands in excitement.
That's all money, as long as the adult gives an order, Crolithart thinks that he can definitely shoot through the enemy's neck with an arrow before the enemy on the opposite side has turned his head.
"A soldier, a silver coin, a knight, a gold coin, and a lord. Whoever catches it, I will reward him with a piece of land. Everyone is ready to throw guns. Let's kick these Kaitokas in the ass!" Du Yu He lowered his voice and shouted to the soldier lying down behind him, that he had been in the bush for so long, waiting for the moment when the Marquis of Ketoka's army broke through the castle.
As his bounty was thrown out, Du Yu could clearly feel that the breathing sound behind him stopped collectively for a while. When it sounded again, it was obviously dull, but the red eyes of the soldiers behind him exuded hot desire. .
At this time, the Marquis of Ketoka would never think that his large camp behind him had been taken overnight, and his defenseless back had completely exposed himself this cheap "straw bird"
Du Yu buried himself and quickly led the soldiers behind him forward. He kept hearing the rustling sound of grass and trees around him. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he ran nearly a hundred meters away in one breath. Kay The luxurious sheepskin tent of the Marquis of Toka was only 10 meters away from him, and the hunters following him had begun to shoot their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemies with their backs.
"touch"! There was a dull sound of impact from the small stone castle in the distance. It seemed that the Marquis of Ketoka had not noticed the abnormality behind him. He had begun to organize soldiers to attack the castle gate. Du Yu saw the Marquis of Ketoka leading a dozen knights immediately. Behind the ten soldiers supervised the battle, their spears were raised high and the triangular eagle flag fluttered in the wind.
"Punch assault!" Statunko, who rushed out of the grass beside him, slammed his machete from his waist. Since being forced to death in the corner by Du Yu with a shield, Statunke has lost his face as a knight. Ke no longer uses the knight sword, but instead uses the prairie scimitar, which is more sleek and more capable of dragging the knife.
The peasant soldiers who followed behind pulled out their guns from behind, and rushed towards the busy Marquis of Ketoka, centered on Du Yu and Statunko. The flying lord’s flag was like a lure. People’s signs, everyone’s ears echoed the words of their lord, "Kill the lord and give the land"
"Puff, puff" The hunter's poisonous arrow shot from behind was like a deadly migratory locust. The unsuspecting Sir Ketokahou was shot over twenty or so. This sudden chaos made it impossible to touch The minded Sir Keto Cahou was in a panic.
"Enemies! All turned, there are enemies behind!" The Marquis of Ketoka, who found something wrong, felt uncomfortable when he saw the arrows inserted behind the soldiers. The knights who were immediately next to him also turned their heads, even though the enemy It came too suddenly, but the Marquis of Ketoka believed that as long as he could lead the knights to charge, he would still be able to win the battle.
Seeing the knight on the opposite side began to turn, Du Yu took out a round double-headed stabbing gun from behind. The two ends of the iron handle were like square-pointed spears on the same side. This is exactly what Du Yu based on his inner strength. The concentrated feature is an exclusive weapon specially made by the castle blacksmith,
This is made by Du Yu according to the style of the flag in the national opera "Peking Opera" characters. A total of seven ~IndoMTL.com~ with their backs, like an unfolding arc-shaped fan, can be used as a melee kill. It can also be used as a long-range projectile, and it can be used as a defensive armor behind you. It is indeed a killer weapon.
Du Yu once tried to use his full strength, and he pierced a pair of heavy stainless steel body armor with "transparent light on both sides" with just one shot.
This made Statunko, who was standing next to him confident in the knight's full body armor, completely dumbfounded. So when he arrived on the battlefield, he wore heavy armor and was extremely mighty knight in front of his mighty lord. It's the same as "paper-pasted".
"Who are you!" Seeing a large group of weird soldiers rushing up behind him with javelins, the Marquis of Ketoka hadn't spoken out yet, the javelins on the opposite side had already shot at him like heavy rain, so At close range, such a dense javelin immediately frightened the old knight with a long battlefield, and even forgot to raise the long shield in his hand to block
What makes the Marquis of Ketoka strange is that none of the hundreds of shots hit him. Instead, he shot the thoroughbred Vicky horse that he bought with a lot of money into a hedgehog, and the horse that fell to the ground instantly turned his horse back. The Marquis of Ketoka who was on the court threw it out.
The old Marquis of Ketoka, who wore a full-body knight armor weighing several tens of catties, "touched" the same pile of iron bumps after flying for more than ten meters and fell into the pile of rocks on the ground. The heavy armor on his body was because Torn apart by the heavy impact on the ground, blood rushed from the mouth of the poor Marquis of Ketoka. After a few unnatural tremors, there was no more movement.
This unexpected phenomenon made Du Yu, who was planning to stage the "Gun-in-Knight Armor" performance, take a breath of air, "All are a bunch of lunatics"
According to the post-event statistics, 175 of the 200 peasant soldiers shot the Marquis Katoka holding the flag, which made Du Yu feel helplessly "the most terrifying thing is the vast ocean of the People's War"
