Conquest

Densely packed, the cast stones were erected in the evening and the anode of the reservoir gradually dropped.

General Spoon stood at the city wall worker and looked at it with a monocular telescope before looking dignified.

From a distance, there were at least a hundred trebuchets. Although Hughes is a fan of aristocratic culture, he is not a military idiot.

The arrangement of the trebuchets is very precise.

In the evening, when the last rays of the sun's afterglow disappeared on the horizon workers, the siege began!

In the first wave of more than a hundred trebuchets, the dense stone bullets whistling from the sky fell like rain!

Armenian rebels began to focus their attacks on the main building of the Arc de Triomphe. When the dense stone bombs fell, the garrison officer shouted and shouted to command the soldiers to dodge. Suddenly stone debris flew! More stone bombs hit the city wall workers, like a roaring drum!

The soldiers on the city wall searched and sheltered among the officers, but there were still casualties. Some were hit by stone bombs, and they became flesh and bones on the spot! Others were injured by smashed rocks in the corners of the towers that collapsed in the realm, and more were the call signs that fell from the wallmen.

A moment's salvo from the trebuchet left a shocking mark on the wall.

However, the main city wall of Bijing Osgilia has been painstakingly and sturdy after generations of efforts. Although some of the corners have been smashed, the main body of the city wall has suffered little damage.

The Armenian slinger screamed after a full meal, and then rested. The garrison's garrison tentatively stood up and watched as the attack from the other side stopped. The officers immediately shouted and urged the soldiers to return. Go to your post 2 "Correct the angle !!"

General Span's forehead bleed, and he was smashed by a mess of stone during the bombardment. At this moment, one eye was covered with blood. He had a broad face on his face at this moment. He was full of murderous spirits, and raised his sword and shouted. :"fight back!!"

Osgilia claims to be the No. 1 largest city in the Big 6, and the defensive equipment on the walls is naturally abundant.

An array of trebuchets has long been erected on the ground behind the city walls. At the moment, there are small trebuchets on the towers of the city wall builders.

As soon as Span ordered, the defender's counterattack began enthusiastically.

The roaring stone bombs in the sky are heading towards the array of Armenian rebels! Span made an accurate judgment. He did not pursue the soldiers who killed the enemy. Most of the trebuchets attacked the opponent's trebuchet formation!

Suddenly, the sky stone bullets from the throne of God's Seal fell and smashed the Armenian trebuchet array into Yangyang's mother. Many trebuchets were smashed by the munitions, and they burst and collapsed, and the soldiers screamed and dispersed.

The Armenian rebels immediately started a counterattack. The slingers of the two sides bombarded each other, and the total stone bomb of the sky whistled and fell. From time to time, the soldiers were screaming and screaming, and flesh flew.

This time the mutual bombardment continued for about a meal. The soldiers responsible for shooting the slinger were either killed or injured, and they were so tired that they could barely raise their arms.

Although there are many trebuchets in the city, the ammunition may not be sufficient, and there are not many stone bombs originally stored. Although Span ordered the demolition of all the houses near the city wall two days ago and added stones, after all, these stone bullets were not polished and projected. If they were hit, it would be good. If they did not hit the target, they would be wasted. .

Unlike the Armenian rebels, the rounds were polished into a round shape, and even if they were empty, they could be rolled to cause casualties.

In the middle of the night, the Armenians started changing fireworks.

The stone bombers who covered the oil fell on the city workers, the oil tank cracked, and the flames spread! Once this kind of oil fire spreads, the water can't be extinguished, and it can only be extinguished if it is covered with sand and gravel.

Immediately after the throne of the Seal of God, I saw the fire at the walls of the city wall, and some stone bombs fell behind the city wall, which immediately caused the fire. Although Span has already requisitioned the private houses near the city wall, everyone has been removed, but after all, the city Many buildings are made of wood and stone. Once the fire spreads, the wood is burned, and it is not easy to extinguish it.

Fortunately, although the garrison in the city is limited, but the population is large, Span recruited many folks to carry buckets of sand and soil, and worked in the middle of the night to finally support the opponent's round of fire attacks.

"Keep it up!" Span shouted standing on the tower, ignoring the stone bullets whizzing overhead, and raised his sword and growled: "The opponent's fuel is limited! Their attack will not last long!".

Spoon, who had been screaming all night, was hoarse, but he was standing in the tower. The soldier was encouraged by the presence of the Lord, and his morale was still high.

"Rodriatic cavalry is coming! The Sixth and Ninth Regiments are also working on the road! General Adrik's 100,000 army is coming soon! Protect the capital! Promote your fortune!"

At dawn, the mutual impact of the trebuchet finally came to an end, and the Armenian rebels began a tentative siege.

Because Osgilia has a natural river, the narrowest part of this river is also tens of meters wide, and it is the seawater that leads to it. Don't even try to fill it in. The only way forward is the bridges and beams of the river workers.

In the first wave of rebel attacks, an infantry of a banner group held a shield and tried to cross the bridge to approach the gate. It was soon shot back by the city defenders' bows and crossbows, causing hundreds of injuries. Immediately that afternoon, the rebels who had collected a large number of civilian ships nearby began a real attack.

Hundreds of solicited boats drove into the moat from the estuary, diverted ordinary ships to carry the rebels, and the other half tried to erect a pontoon.

The city wallmen are all at the same level, but the Armenian rebels are holding a huge iron shield specially made of Armenia. This is Armenia's excellent armor. One iron shield is three or four meters long and can be raised high. Five or six people can be hidden underneath. With heavy arrow rain and crossbow artillery attacks, the bridgemen and the river, the rebels tried to rush forward.

In the end, Span re-seeed that the situation was wrong, and ordered the concentration of all trebuchets to bombard bridges and ships, and concentrated almost all the fuel oil reserves in his hand. The trebuchets were put into the river, and then he lit a fire!

Thousands of barrels of hot oil were thrown into the water, and immediately floated on the surface of the water, the workers continued to sink into a continuous stream. After the building was lit, the whole river suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The rebels were burned and crying. In the end, he had to defeat and retreat again, damaging the soldiers and losing most of the collected ships.

The fierce battle the next day ended with the victory of the defenders. The fire on the river burned all night!

On the third day, Hughes ordered that the rebels sacrifice the arrow tower. These specially made animals were more than ten meters in length, and their towels were several meters. The highest was more than twenty meters. They were made of cold materials. For fire protection, the surface is also covered with cowhide, and the wet mud is applied on it. Each arrow floor has a base and rollers. Dozens of strong soldiers hold shields and push the arrow floor toward the city wall.

Hughes apparently put down his blood, and introduced dozens of tall arrow towers in one breath. Each arrow tower was more or less, and he could hide dozens to hundreds of soldiers. Dozens of arrow towers have been pushed to the river bank of the moat, juxtaposed with the opposite wall, and the rebel archers standing in the arrow tower can directly shoot the defenders on the wall!

Although Span tried to use the trebuchet to bomb the opponent's arrow tower, the trebuchet did not hit well after all, and the effect was not very good. Moreover, the rebel's trebuchet once again covered and attacked dozens of tall arrow towers erected on the banks of the river. Across the tens of meters, the rebels and the garrison began firing. However, once the advantage of the fall of the city wall is lost, the defensive forces are greatly disadvantaged when they shoot at a horizontal height.

Armenia has always been known for its sharp armors. The archers have good crossbow equipment, and their armor is stronger than the defenders. During the shooting, the soldiers are more damaged.

Just before the sun set in the evening, the rebels took advantage of the cover of the archer archers and separated two squares to hold the shield and try to cross the bridge and directly attack the gate. In a fierce battle, although the defenders repelled the rebels, they also suffered heavy casualties.

That night, the garrison quietly put down five hundred elite armored men with rope hanging baskets during the night. These five hundred people used the night to cover the river and sneak in each other's arrow tower on the bank of the river. Everyone brought something to ignite.

A fierce battle hangs on the opponent's arrow tower and knocks out most of it. Seeing the other side shouting to kill Zhentian, one of the arrow towers collapsed in the fire, but Span has tears in his eyes!

The five hundred people who left the city were elite warriors. Before everyone went out, it was clear that this sneak attack would be dead! Because when you leave the city, you can let people out with a sling through the cover of the night, but once the attack is launched, no matter whether they can succeed, these people will never have the chance to return!

Among these five hundred elites, Span's guard was included.

Three days after the throne of the Seal of God was taken off, Span was thin and red. But he was determined.

This city, the rebels can't attack it right now!

Osgilia was the first strongest city in the world. The fortifications of the walls were complete and the crossbows were complete.

Although the Armenian rebels outside the city are now full of momentum, it is not possible for Armenian rebels to overcome this mighty city!

The only worry is that the enemy will send more troops.

At the end of three days, Span also paused for a moment, and Hughes, the rebel leader, seemed to understand this truth.

These days seem to be fierce. In fact, both sides have not reached the stage of fate. Hughes only invested some capital in the attack on the last day, but as soon as things went wrong, the siege army was withdrawn. Avoiding unnecessary casualties II This is not Hughes' timidity, but because Hughes is also an understanding person.

In order to conquer this big 6 first male city, relying on his 50,000 or 60,000 people is far from enough!

"What the **** is that **** in El Salvador!"

In the barracks, Hughes threw a cup on the ground in annoyance, and said angrily, "He said that the reinforcements of the Sixth Route Military District Commander would be here in three days! Seeing this time, the throne of the Seal of God had passed, did this **** hang him alone !"

Many of His Majesty's generals in the tent were silent. After Hughes had a fire, he saw that the people were speechless. He changed his eyes and immediately changed his tone. He suddenly patted his forehead: "Hahaha!

Well, I'm angry again! "

He glanced at everyone and slowly said: "You don't have to attack the city tomorrow. Since this male city cannot be captured by our family, then we don't have to be the first bird. Wait for the big guys to come together and come together again Do it. "

Speaking, Hughes stood upright, bowed to the generals in the tent, and slowly said, "Mrs., I have been too impatient these two days! The siege of these two days is not good, the responsibility lies with me! I see so good A big city has greed in its heart, and I just want to take the crime of taking the city down early, I will bear it! "

As he said, he laughed at himself: "Ben took us as a gesture. It was because of greed in my heart that I attacked the city and wasted so much military power. I will make this mistake again in the future. Please do n’t worry. Remind me directly! "

Help your Majesty. Your only chance at the moment is reinforcements! Although the chance is slim, it is the only chance I see! If the enemy reinforcements arrive first, then we can only stay one way and end up. I wo n’t say His Majesty understood it.

And if our reinforcements arrive first, the Armenian rebels are alone! We can take the opportunity to counterattack the city, using internal and external methods to fight hard, maybe we can defeat the Armenian rebels and drive them away! But even so ... "

After a short pause, Span did not continue to say two. "Even so, even if it is the second possibility you said, we can temporarily suspend the **** of Hughes, but it is just a continuation, sometimes, when they make a comeback, or A dead end, right? "

Emperor Cantos' tone was indifferent.

Span knelt on His Royal Highness. His blood-stained shirt could not be replaced in the future. In addition to the blood stains on the shirt, there was a smell of fireworks, and the bandage on his forehead penetrated the blood. Dark red.

"You worked hard for two." Cantos sat there staring at Span for a long time before sighing softly. He tried to stand up and then sat down again.

The old emperor looked at Spoon and suddenly said, "Span, have you ever resent me?

Spanning for a moment, he looked up quickly, but met the piercing eyes of the Rifle Emperor, his heart shook, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Now there is no one in the city, and the heavy responsibility of resisting the rebels is in your hands, and I still thundered at you a few days ago. Hey," the rifleman shook his head: "I know, right now in this city of Osgiriya. I don't know how many people are already in my heart, and some people have already been secretly prepared, and they are waiting to change the dynasty! "

After a pause, he suddenly sneered: "Even in this palace, I am afraid that someone will fry early and have the intention to change the court."

After listening to this, Span was heavy, but silent, after thinking for a while, he slowly said:

"Your Majesty, the country is in danger and people's hearts are in sight. Those rebels want to enter the city unless they step over my Span's body first!"

Cantor nodded his head with the spider emperor, his face was tired, and his eyes were gradually dimmed. With a moment of admiration, he smiled bitterly: "Span, you are so loyal, I should have given you something. However, unfortunately, I have nothing to offer you. My emperor, I do n’t know if I can be a Ming dog ... Hmm! At this moment, the imperial order of the empire can't come out of this city of Osgiriya. At first, I am afraid that many places have already fallen. I, the polished emperor, want to reward you, and there is nothing to reward the village. As for the money and coins, if the city breaks, the money and coins are just a pile of scrap iron. "

"I'm not asking for a reward." Span slowly shook his head. He suddenly stood up and stood there, staring at the Cantos Emperor: "Your Majesty, I only ask for one thing."

"You said!"

Cantos looked at the bruised general in front of him. No matter what Span said at this moment, Cantos had made a decision in his heart.

"If the country succeeds, please keep a penny on the history books." Span suddenly smiled. He smiled, Feng Yiyun Dan.

"Just write one sentence, the city breaks, Span is dead"! "

After saying this, Span turned embarrassedly, and did not even say goodbye to the emperor. He strode out of the palace and said, "Leave only one, only one ..." The Emperor Cantos sat there for a long time and was speechless. .

The Sensen Hall seemed empty at this moment. The old emperor sat still for a long time, only to hear the sound of the wind outside, and the wind coming into the hall blew the flames in the brazier. Finally, I did n’t know how long it was, Cantos The Emperor Dog suddenly sighed, holding his fists, and just sighed, he smiled boldly.

"I have loyal officials like this! God will never stop me !!!"

The roar of the old emperor's work echoed in the work of the temple. After he finally quieted down, in the corner behind him, the middle-aged man with a shadow was suddenly speaking.

"Your Majesty, if nothing can be done, I will kill you! Even if there are thousands of troops, I can't stop me!"

The Cantos Emperor listened, and slowly turned his head to look at him: "I remember all these years, today, this is the first time you have actively spoke to me, right?"

The shadowy middle-aged man was expressionless.

"You're right, you are a strong man, even if there are thousands of horses, you can't stop you. But what is the sadness of a strong man, do you know? Ten million horses cannot stop a strong man! But a strong one Or, you can't stop thousands of troops! Everyone thinks that Merlin alone could stop my navy. In fact, you and I know how wrong it is! If not ... Hum.

The old emperor said here, and slowly shook his head: "I won't leave. This is my last bet. It is my national fortune! If this city is broken, the empire will not exist! Even if I flee alive, what will happen? Meaning? You don't need to guard me here tomorrow, go upstairs to kill the enemy. "

Effectiveness "The current situation is that whoever comes first will be able to reverse the situation immediately."

In the dock area in the south of the city, the freckled girl sat in front of Guro and talked eloquently: "If the rebels arrive first, the military power will have an absolute advantage, and the momentum can no longer be shaken! If the Imperial Party reinforcements arrive first, You can take a vow to defeat the rebels outside the city first, and maybe you can fight for some time.

"But no matter what kind, it's a dead end." Guro hummed and said, "Even if you say the second kind, it's only a life extension of two or three months. In terms of strength comparison, I don't see the Byzantine royal family coming back. Now. "

The freckled girl heard it, and was not angry. She looked at Guro and smiled lightly. "My teacher said something: he is not a god, he cannot make every decision right, and he cannot count everything. . "

"?" Guro looked at the woman in doubt.

"The teacher is telling the truth. Even the most clever person can't count everything." The girl smiled mysteriously: "But most of the things are accurate enough to win!"

Her eyes gradually grew sharper, staring at Guro.

"The Emperor Cantos is betting! A shocking bet! If there is no accident, the Odins will soon participate! The bet is that our Byzantine Empire is dead!" She said here, He deliberately paused and raised his eyebrows at Guro.

"How about you, Lord Guro? Are you Landis, ready to participate in this gamble?"

Guro sinks, his eyes change.

At this time, there was a clear laugh outside the door, a handsome young man, wearing ordinary Landis guard samurai leather armor striding in!

This young man is exactly the mysterious young man among Guro's group when Xia went to the capital for the first time.

"We, Landis, have bet!"

As soon as the young man walked in, Guro suddenly became tense, immediately stood up and gave a half-step, and whispered, "Master ..."

The young man waved his hand and motioned Guro to shut up, but his eyes were staring at the freckled girl, and then she sat slowly across from her.

The girl saw this young man ~ www.readwn.com ~, and there was a light flash of relief in her eyes, as if she could not help but breathe out lightly.

"Wipe the sweat." The young man picked at the corner of his mouth, took a hand from his sleeve, and handed it over: "Cavihill's disciple, none of them is simple. Your eloquence is good."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Royal Highness!" The girl smiled slightly, and did not avoid it. She took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "It seems you know my identity?" The young man smiled at the freckled girl.

"When the Highness was still on the way, the teacher got the news. But the teacher said at the beginning that since our Highness does not want to reveal his whereabouts, we, as the host, always respect the meaning of the guests, so I have never worshiped Your Highness. But Your Highness Now it's finally time to show up. It seems that I have finally been moved by my words these days. "

"You are wrong!" The young man suddenly looked serious: "It was not your words that moved me, but the great gamble left by the respected teacher!"

He then sighed: "I thought about it for three days before I finally wanted to understand some clues. The great gambling game set by the respected teacher is really tempting! As a hero in the world, if you can't make a gamble in the game, wouldn't you regret it for life! "
