The Wizard’s Way Home

　　 In the early morning of the next day, dark clouds were still hanging over the city of Harritz, and the yellow sand was swept across the sky with strong winds. Flags were fluttering in the wind, and pairs of soldiers lined up neatly outside the city of Harritz.

　　 is different from the scene of flags like forests in the movie. The crusaders outside the city of Harritz have only more than one hundred flags, and they belong to more than one hundred nobles, large and small. There are only a few flags in the direction of the main attack by the nobles and the king's guards such as the east city, the north city and the south city.

　　 After all, soldiers of this era still rely on the direction of the flag to determine whether to attack or retreat. If there are too many flags and the dispatching is not uniform, it will affect the judgment of the soldiers at a slight degree, and may cause chaos in the army and lead to the collapse of the army.

　　 Of course, if it is a big army, there will be several team flags. This problem cannot be generalized. Otherwise, if the 100,000 army has only one flag, the soldiers in the distance can't see clearly. Generals at all levels are not good at dispatching their soldiers.

　　 Dozens of catapults, rush vehicles and siege towers were assembled. Because there was not enough qualified wood around Harritz, the wood used to make these siege equipment was shipped from nearby cities.

　　 For this reason, General Sharu had to recruit many local civilians to transport supplies. This has also increased the logistical burden of the entire army. This is also the reason why General Sharu rushed to attack the city of Harrez.

　　 If Harrez cannot be attacked as soon as possible, the huge logistics will drag down one hundred thousand crusaders. Therefore, General Sharu can only make a desperate move to attack the city. If time dragged on for a long time, the crusaders that had been forcibly gathered together might fall apart in an instant.

　　 Seeing that the catapult was ready, General Sharu ordered to skip the test firing phase and directly launch the projectile.

　　 swish swish swish, a series of boulders across the sky, bringing the sound of howling wind.

　　 bang bang bang, dozens of huge stones hit the wall of Harritz, smashing pieces of loess and rubble everywhere.

　　 The soldiers on the city wall shivered as they watched the flying boulders. If it weren’t for days of training and the supervising team staring behind them, these soldiers would soon drop their weapons and escape.

　　 Count Kilian led his soldiers as the supervising team to stand on top of the city. On the one hand, it is to boost morale and facilitate command, on the other hand, it is to be ready to save the field at any time.

"Stay steady. There are no quarries near the city of Harritz, and the mining of stones is also very difficult. The enemy's catapult will soon stop attacking because of the lack of stones. Hold on to your weapons and show your brave moments. Here it comes. Killing an enemy can get a gold coin, killing ten enemy troops, can be promoted to captain, and killing a nobleman can replace the other's knighthood. It depends on today's prosperity and wealth." Earl Kilian's side He patrolled the city walls while boosting morale.

　　 I have to say that Earl Killian, who was born as a nobleman, is still very good at inspiring people. The soldiers who were frightened by the flying huge rocks slowly recovered some morale.

　　 At the same time, as Count Killian said, General Sharu’s catapult stopped after several rounds of projectiles.

　　 After all, there was a lack of such suitable rocks near Harritz, and because Earl Kilian deliberately cleaned up the boulders around the city, there were not many rocks that Sharu could collect.

　　 Besides, the catapults can't just be concentrated in one place. After all, the nobles of the crusade army are not the ones who are willing to lose. After the square walls are scattered, the original few stones are even scarcer. After a few rounds of projectiles, it was unsustainable.

　　 The damage caused by several rounds of catapult projectiles was not great, but several houses in the city were damaged. And a few hapless guys had their skin scratched by splashing stones.

　　 General Sharu looked at the empty catapult with a cold face, and cursed the nobles who were dragging their legs, and had to give an order to attack the city.

Thousands of soldiers lined up in a dense formation, holding round shields and pushing the high siege tower close to the wall of Harrez, and an assault vehicle used to attack the city gate was slowly pushed towards the city gate. Direction.

　　 Count Killian hurriedly tuned the archers who were on standby under the city to the wall. "Catapult, toss ale barrels. Let go!"

　　In an instant, dozens of wooden barrels containing ale were thrown into the siege forces of General Sharu. After falling to the ground, each of the wooden barrels broke apart, and countless yellow powders rose into the air.

　　 "Archer, change the flame arrow, let it go!"

　　 Hundreds of flaming arrows threw towards the siege troops.

　　The burning flame arrow immediately caused a huge flame after flying through the yellow powder floating area. The tight formation originally used to resist bows and arrows instantly became a reminder. Each broken barrel of ale can ignite dozens of soldiers gathered together into a torch.

　　In a short time, hundreds of ignited soldiers ran to the side desperately, trying to find a place to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and these running soldiers also contaminated the flames attached to their bodies to the nearby soldiers. UU reading www.uukanshu.com caused even greater riots.

　　 Human beings have an instinctive fear of flames. Soldiers that were tightly lined up scrambled to disperse, avoiding their flame-burning colleagues. The tight siege formation was broken up.

　　 These ale barrels are filled with a kind of medicine mixed with sulphur powder and edelweiss powder. This kind of medicament has a strong ability to adhere and burn, and if it is ignited in a closed space, it will cause an explosion.

　　 This was an accidental discovery by Cynthia during the experiment. After this discovery was known to Earl Kilian, he used it as a secret weapon and drove a batch of them. I tried it today and it really worked well.

　　 General Sharu saw that the siege team had dispersed, so he had no choice but to gather these soldiers back and reorganize the attack.

　　 Count Kilian also actively mobilized soldiers, preparing for the next defense.

　　 In the second round of attacks, General Sharu was able to prevent it. He assembled a large number of civilians and a small number of logistics soldiers, and launched an attack on the walls of Harrez in a loose cannon fodder formation.

　　Earl Killian had not many burning barrels in his hands, only a few hundred.

　　The main reason for so few burning barrels is that Harritz City does not produce sulfur mines. These sulfur are still purchased from outside. It is not easy to store so many in a short period of time.

　　 After two rounds of throwing and finding that the enemy in loose formation was not as effective as before, Earl Kilian could only use primitive methods to use bows and arrows, gravel, and golden soup to compete with the enemy for the wall. For a time the battlefield entered a stage of consumption.

　　The defensive Earl Kilian occupies a favorable geographical position and can form a situation where more fights are less likely to be formed on the local battlefield, and General Sharu has the advantage of troops to take turns in battle, and no one can do anything in a short time.
