The Legend of Fatality

Chapter 177: Siege

For centuries, the fortress's previous landmark has been crouching over the extension of the outer top of the fortress wall. Its corroded body was mottled as if it were stained with blood, and now this weird deformed torn statue can no longer see its original appearance. It is crumbling in the air, and whenever it is blown by the wind, it will roar like a protest.

The sea breeze blowing from the coast is always playing a seesaw game with the cooking smoke rising from the crowded residential area of ​​the city. It is now completely occupied by civilians and farmers outside the city. The baron has once let them flee north, but only Part of them chose to escape, and more people who were too frightened by the enemy army stayed.

The sea breeze climbed up along the fortified wall of the fortress, and the silence of the broken statue declared its sudden end. And the scorching breath from the crowded residential area, mixed with thick smoke, screamed across the city walls like a spark, looting like a rebirth when it looted the harbor occupied by the enemy on the headland.

Children from the Baron family, Spot-Gano is on tiptoe, looking out from the jagged wall. Behind him is the entire fortress, which once belonged to a certain count, but after the entire duke's domain was conquered, it was reduced to a certain baron's territory. Now this unknown fortress belongs to Baron Gano, a vassal of the Duke of Ogborn.

Hundreds of spears stood tall on both sides of Spot-Gano. The soldiers holding the spears were staring at the camp of the army in the siege in the distance. For Spot, standing on the city wall and overlooking the fortress like this is no longer a new thing, and there is no way to give him an interesting feeling.

In the three years before the siege, he had only been here once in total. But after the siege, he climbed the wall more times than he used to add up. He looked at the cobbled courtyards, the castle inside the fortress and the old main tower-the main tower was even used as a stable in front of the siege, and the top floor became a nest of pigeons, seagulls and bats, all of these animals Feces.

The castle is still the most central place. Even now, his father is there to discuss the siege with his vassals, including even the port officials who fled from the port not far away.

Of course, these places are now strictly forbidden from entering and leaving, even as the son of the manager here. After all, what is now discussed there is the operation of everything about the fortress.

Spot left the speculation in the Chamber behind his head. His attention was attracted by the troops of the siege in the distance. He saw the troops of the siege again launched their siege equipment and began a new day of routine. task.

Before the arrival of the Dukes of Ron, Baien and other mercenaries and some of the vassals of the Duke of Ron had no way to face the fortress now known as Fort Gano.

Fatlin ’s army has never attacked a complete fortress, and mercenaries are reluctant to do such a chore. The surrounding forest was cut down by the baron in the castle, and the rest was burned by a fire. The remaining trees are useless unless used as charcoal.

Fatalin ’s siege equipment was quite well prepared. Under the attack of Fatalin ’s more than thirty siege machines—mainly catapults and slingshots—the two stone-made sentry towers were destroyed in a few days. And a short section of the city wall.

The mercenary regiment who discovered the opportunity took the opportunity to try to break into the fortress from the gap, but was bombarded by the mortar gun filled with Xia shells that had been blocked in the mouth. The luck survived and died in the array behind the wall. Crossbow arrows fired by the crossbowmen.

The mage hiding behind the city wall controlled the water in the moat, engulfed and stopped the mercenary charge. It didn't take long for the mercenaries to drop hundreds of bodies and retreat. At this time, the army of Fatalin had just set off shortly and looked at the crossbowmen and mages in the fortress for a while. Bai En ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The following days became a routine for both parties. The ammunition of Fatalin engineering equipment was quickly exhausted, and the efficiency of quarrying stone in situ was extremely slow. Basically, it was only guaranteed to shoot a few stone bombs towards the fortress every day.

Long-term routines have made the wizards of Fatalin lose their vigilance. Siege equipment is very troublesome to move and assemble, so it is left behind from the front line. Considering that it is not far from the camp, it will no longer be assembled and moved slowly.

Until one night, Antaratm ’s spells issued an early warning message, and several mages of Bane hurriedly awakened the soldiers, assembled the array, and prepared to fight. After all the people were gathered together, no casualties were found, including the camp warning team.

Until the end, the magicians of Fatalin discovered that the enemies in the fortress secretly escaped the city at night and destroyed more than half of the siege equipment. If they were n’t worried about being discovered by Fatalin ’s army, they would n’t dare to start a torch, they might be able to destroy all the equipment.

Under the restoration of the dwarf craftsmen, the siege equipment is equivalent to half, but it is no different for the army of Fatalin. The engineering equipment without enough ammunition is just a huge piece of wood or metal.

The arrival of the army of the Duke of Rune made this group of scattered siege forces tense again. As soon as the commander of the Duke of Ron arrived, he sent people to persuade, and at the same time built a siege camp around the castle, and all the other siege equipment Gather together and storm the walls.

Duke Ron also ordered the collection of small boats, fishing boats and long boats on the pier, almost all the deckless ships were collected, ordered to pull the boat ashore, turned over and covered with hides on the bottom of the boat, hanging wooden barrels around, in the siege It is used to hold mud for fire fighting.

Duke Ron also asked the dwarves and Goblin of the Fatalin army to take advantage of the night to lay thick wooden floors and pulley tracks in the direction of the siege to facilitate the movement of the huge siege tower towards the wall.

He also ordered the mercenaries to try to fill the fortress' moat at night, but the effect was not good, and he soon gave up.

The biggest card of the Duke Ron is three huge stone shooting cannons, the body of which is made of bronze mixed with other metals, and the outer part is made of steel iron hoops on the body of the gun. Each cannon can hold an adult.

According to the observation of the dwarf commander who went to observe, he thought that each stone cannon can fire at least two hundred pounds of stone bombs. The only disadvantage is that the range is too close and can only be placed in the newly constructed siege fortress.

After the messenger sent to persuade to return unscathed, Duke Ruen ordered to bomb the city. The three stone-shooting cannons were filled with gunpowder, and the boulders fired after igniting struck an obvious arc and hit the city wall fiercely. However, the positions of the three stones were all tens of yards away, and there was no accurate head.

Bai En waited a long time before seeing the second round of artillery, but the sound of one of the guns seemed to be particularly loud. Soon after the Fatalin lined up, you could see a place where the stone guns were placed. Black smoke. Later, Bai En learned that a stone shooter exploded directly the second time it was fired, and the hapless gunner didn't even have time to escape.

Although there was a gun blasted, the effect was better than expected. Soon there was a herald to invite Fatalin ’s commander to command the commander to discuss the offensive policy, but Bai En understood that it was good to say, only to let him listen to the new order.

Bai En brought the guards to the Rouen army camp with horseback riders. Regardless of the establishment of the camp or the details of the personnel layout, it is much better than the camp of Fatalin. A look at the way Ruen fought.

When Bai En entered the command account, there were already a lot of people in it. Duke Ruen was personally arranging tasks for those independent mercenary regiments. Many of the mercenary chiefs who had offended Fatalin during this period of time were still there. After discovering Bai En one by one, they all glared at him.

Nokranstov, who followed Bae in, let those mercenary leaders withdraw their angry eyes, and stared at Bae in hatred. Nokranstov's size and reputation spread among the mercenaries, and no one would easily anger the giant.

"Master Bane," Duke Ruen nodded slightly in tribute. "We have insufficient ammunition and there are other cities in the back, so our artillery is best not to waste too much here. I want to let the soldiers repair one day tomorrow and attack the city the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

Although Lord Duke asked politely very politely, Bair knew that this was the order.

"Of course, Lord Duke." Bai En won't fight for the impossible, he said, leaning down slightly to salute.

"Well, very good. Because of your ..." Duke Ruen was pondering the words that should be used. "Your giants and those ..."

"Swamp demon, of course, you can also call them monsters." Bai En understands what Duke Ron wants to say, but when it comes to monsters, his eyes skimmed Moradron standing beside Duke Ron, The others were expressionless, and did not know him.

"Yes ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ I hope you can attack from the west port after we attract the enemy. I believe they should not have enough troops to deal with it." Duke Ruen chose a simple and effective tactic .

"If you plan to succeed in one fell swoop. I hope you can choose a foggy weather, at least the foggy early morning." Bai En thought and asked the Duke of Rune.

"Did you take advantage of the dense fog?" Duke Ruen thought about this proposal with a beard. The fog would affect both parties, but it was more beneficial to the siege side, especially when the defending side was not sure about the direction and number of the attacking side. time.

"Yes, it will benefit us a bit."

"Can it be achieved through magic?" Duke Ron asked.

"Yes," Bai En counted the number of wizards from the Lower Fatalin Association this time, and it should be enough to cast a large misty magic. "But the opponent's mage will also resist. So the effect may be very poor, and some are not worth the gain."

"Is it necessary to rely on the weather?" Duke Ron hates this, and depending on the weather may take more time.

"Yes, it is best to be caused by natural sky phenomena, and then it will be more effective with magic. Not only fog, storms or heavy rain days."

"How long does it take? We don't have much time to spend here." Duke Ruen said.

"Ten days, up to twenty days, judging from the weather during this time." Bai En was also unsure. There were three light rains during this time in the siege. As for the fog, it was every day, but it was just morning fog.
