    The genial spring breeze blew so warmly that people were almost dozing off. The Rangers, hiding in the woods to the leeward direction, looked through the scattered branches at the Lucia army in the distance that was besieging the city.  From Barrett¡¯s point of view, the small town named Camplin occupies a small area, and it is a question whether all the city walls add up to one mile.  There are only 2,000-3,000 permanent residents in this area.  Including foreign businessmen and mercenaries, the number should not exceed the 4,000 mark.  Although a large number of troops were mobilized after the war began, the ratio of military to civilians here reached a very alarming level.  But if they were all placed on the city wall, it would be like pepper noodles sprinkled in soup, and they would be nowhere to be found.  Therefore, Barrett was unable to find the soldiers standing behind the female wall at the top of the city. Most of them were hiding in the towers between the two sections of the city wall before the Syrians launched their attack.  In this way, you can better maintain your physical strength and at the same time resist the enemy's cold arrows.  But in this way, the empty city wall gives people the feeling that the city is completely undefended.  But if any fool really thinks so, there will be a feast of arrows waiting for him.  Although it has not yet been determined how many defensive equipment there are in this small town called Camplin.  But it is not difficult to infer from the bull's-eye holes in the watchtowers and city walls that there are definitely a lot of local crossbows.  Before these crossbows are fatigued and damaged, any creature that wants to attack Camplin City will be attacked head-on.  "It's a pity that since we haven't even seen a few Cruze soldiers guarding the city, it will be even harder to find Barrett's fellow players.  After struggling for a while with no results, he could only turn his attention to Lucia's army outside the city.  Through the camps set up in the wilderness and the flying flags, Barrett had already initially judged the approximate size of the Lucia army in front of him.  Although their number indeed far exceeds the number of defenders in Camplin City, they are still far away from being surrounded by ten.  Therefore, they were unable to launch attacks from four directions at the same time, which gave the defenders of Camplin City a chance.  However, among the blue and white flags, Barrett still saw a disturbing ironwood monster-a medium-sized spinning sling.  Although among the large families of siege equipment, this little guy is not ranked at all.  But it is completely enough to deal with a small town like Camplin.  Coupled with those torsion ballistae, the defenders behind the female wall can be completely suppressed so that they dare not show up.  "It seems that these Lucians are quite well prepared! If no one rescues the siege, Camplin City may not be able to hold on for long." Knight Baptist suddenly appeared next to Barrett's shoulder and carefully controlled  control your own volume.  Barrett, who turned around, nodded and said in a low voice: "The current situation is indeed not good for the Cruze people. I just don't know if there are knights in the small town in front of me. If so, you and him can join forces.  "Is it possible to severely injure the gentleman assigned to this team by Lucia?" "There must be knights on Cruze's side, otherwise this small town would not survive until now. You should understand the consequences of the war after unilaterally investing the knights.  What will happen to the balance?" Knight Baputi said with great certainty.  But then he suddenly changed his voice, "But even if we join forces with that one, I don't know whether we can severely damage Lucia's knights. After all, I don't know their fighting styles." Knights are powerful, so powerful  Even in a battle between knights, it is not easy to severely injure each other.  Even if a two-on-one situation is created, if the opponent is not far away from a head-to-head confrontation, no one can guarantee that the fight will be cheap in the pursuit and escape battle - unless there is an absolute gap in strength between the two sides.  But now Knight Baputi neither knows the fighting style of Knight Lucia nor the specific strength of Knight Cruz.  The former makes it impossible to formulate targeted tactics based on the characteristics of the enemy, and the latter greatly reduces the coordination effect between the two sides.  And Knight Baptist cannot enter Camplin City first and establish a tacit understanding with those Cruze people.  He is not at all assured of Cruze's intelligence work.  As soon as he comes to the government agency like a sieve, the Lucians will know it when they leave - then a surprise attack will become a joke.  "If you can't severely damage Lucia's knights, then the gap between conventional force is too big. All we can do is to delay Lucia's siege progress, and hope that Cruze can send out troops to relieve the siege in time.  Let's go!" Barrett, who has war experience, quickly made the correct assessment.  Seeing that Barrett was not in a good mood, Knight Baptist patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, we are not here to guard that small earth city  If you can rescue yourself who is trapped inside when the city is broken, it will be considered a success.  Don't put so much pressure on yourself.  " Just as Barrett and Knight Baputi were making preliminary plans, the Lucian army in front of them also began to launch a new round of offensive towards Camplin City. The Lucian soldiers holding shields began to resist possible attacks.  They attacked and rushed towards Camplin City at high speed. Some of them were carrying ladders to climb the wall, and some were carrying a heavy iron-clad battering ram, but most of them were holding daggers.  Soldiers. Soon the Cruze soldiers in the tower responded. Crossbow bolts were fired from the bull's-eye window and flew toward the crowd of people approaching at high speed. From time to time, Lucia soldiers were shot by arrows that crossed the shield.  Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then he completely disappeared in the crowd of people coming from behind. However, there were too many Lucians attacking the city, and the firepower that the defenders could project in this direction was overwhelming.  It's still limited. So even if a lot of Lucians were shot to the ground, it was like throwing a pebble into the waves, and they were invisible in the blink of an eye.  When the attack was launched, the soldiers pouring out of the towers rushed towards the section of the city wall chosen by the enemy to attack the city. But at this moment, the trebuchets and ballistae far away in Lucia's camp started to work.  , under the shouts of the enemy and the operation of ropes and pulleys, dozens of ammunition were thrown high into the sky. The polished stone bullets rolled in mid-air and hit the city wall. "Bang, bang."  , bang.  "A succession of stone bullets landed on the city wall and on the roof behind the city. The former left an obvious mark on the wall and took off a piece of skin from the thick brick and earth building. The latter directly smashed through  A skylight was opened for free on the roof of the private house for the residents in the city. Some of the unlucky ones even had their beams broken. Then a group of people dragged their families out of the house, fearing that they would be crushed by the collapsed roof.  Inside. Although many stone bullets missed from far or near, a few successfully landed on the city.  "Amidst the sound, a Cruze defender's arm was broken by a stone bullet flying in the direction. Then the projectile fell onto the parapet behind without losing force. Then it bounced off the parapet.  Finally, another soldier was knocked to the ground. Although the soldiers on both sides had not yet come into contact, they were already bleeding. However, only a few were actually hit, so the impact on morale was not huge.  . Soon the ladders were set up on the top of the city.  "With the sergeant's order, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time hit the simple forked sticks in their hands on the siege ladder. If they exerted their strength, they pushed forward and climbed up into the air.  The Lucian people fell backwards and experienced a free fall. The first wave of attacks was like waves hitting a huge reef, just like most Lucian offensives.  Although it looks great, the actual effect is not very good. ¡°Bang!  Bang!  Bang!  "The gate of Camplin began to be shaken by the battering ram. Although the Lucians only used a light battering ram without a stand. The gate of Camplin was not far away.  Not as good as the real fortress. It seemed to be crumbling under this series of blows - immediately forcing the shooters on the tower to focus their firepower on the huge threat at the city gate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, there were several more ladders.  Against the city wall, another wave of enemy attacks spread wildly from and under the city wall. The pressure on the defenders was instantly increased. Some of these shipments were pushed out by the forks at the first opportunity.  . But some of them have been nailed to the top of the city with the iron hooks above - thus completely ignoring the threat of the fork pole. The soldiers who are responsible for dealing with these wall climbers stand on the tower.  Stones and lime were thrown downwards, so most of the Lucians made a free fall and fell into a ball in the shallow pit formed on the ground. Of course, some Lucians relied on their agility to hide.  But just as they reached out to grab the wall and tried to climb up, several weapons came towards him and fell down, hitting the other Lucia heavily.  However, there is a big difference in the quality of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Cruz and the Kingdom of Lucia. After a series of storms, Lucia soldiers soon boarded the city. At this critical moment, the preparations on the city were made.  The team also entered the battle amidst the sound of alarm bells. The professional soldiers who had invested a lot of resources in Cruze rushed towards the crumbling defense line with gleaming weapons in their hands. Among them was a figure who was much taller than the average person.  The guy roared at the same time.His skin began to turn red, and then the blood vessels began to swell together with his muscles - with the sound of tearing and the sound of sword blades breaking through the air, those Lucians wearing inlaid leather armor were killed.  One by one they were knocked away.  Their weapons were broken, their bodies were twisted, and several of them were swept away from the city wall.  Judging from this point alone, the strength of the barbarian in front of him after the violent rage is not much worse than Barrett.  However, this outstanding barbarian quickly attracted the attention of the Lucia officers.  As several people in the camp whispered to each other, a flash of light flashed across the battlefield like a meteor.  But just when the meteor was about to fly over the city, the stream of light it originally shrouded suddenly disappeared completely, and then its gray prototype was revealed.  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªMoving up to make up¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Barrowman took the cup with his thick and short fingers, held it with both hands and took a big gulp.  The room seemed quiet for a moment.  The calm was soon broken: "Later, four of the chambers of commerce discovered that they actually had a lot of goods transferred ashore through our port, which was more advantageous than their original trade routes. They hoped to open up new trade routes with us. According to the information they provided  In terms of cargo volume, the berths originally reserved at the terminal are somewhat insufficient. In addition, there are still some fleets that hope to resupply at our terminal. If we do not build a new terminal, the existing berths at the port will be completely insufficient.  "Qiaoji touched his chin and pondered for a while: "I will make arrangements for the dock as soon as possible. Tomorrow, the city hall will start a feasibility investigation and prepare a budget. The craftsmen of the association have already been contacted, but if the construction starts.  It won¡¯t start until after the autumn harvest at the earliest.¡± ¡°No problem, as long as the merchants know that a new dock will be built here, it will be no problem. After all, good trade routes and supply points are not easy to find.¡± Barrowman put down the cup and rubbed it.  Rubbing hands.  "By the way, Barrowman, how much information do you have about the pirates? Although the current situation is beneficial to us, there is no guarantee that it will not become a threat in the future." Georgie said with some worry.  "The place where pirates are active is almost half a month away from us by sea. Moreover, the trade routes are not very smooth now and the news is not as flexible as before. However, there is no news of the port being attacked yet. But it seems that some lords in the south have organized a coalition  The fleet went to clear out the pirates, but the news came that it failed, but it is not clear whether it is true or not." Barrowman started to sweat as he spoke.  "The suppression failed? We must find out whether the pirates were not found or the naval battle failed. If the naval battle failed, it would be troublesome." Qiaoji emphasized his tone and his expression became much more serious than before, "In the next period of time, in this regard  Information is the top priority of my work. Of course, I will also arrange other channels to inquire about this information, but the port has a natural advantage in this kind of information. Don¡¯t let people down. " "Understood, I will try my best to pay attention.  News about this." Barrowman immediately began to express his determination.
