Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The trebuchet is powerful at throwing heavy objects, but its range has always been inferior to that of the crossbow. What's more, the crossbow is condescending and has a longer range, which can completely cover the trebuchet.  A crossbow arrow suddenly shot out, only to see a cold light piercing the sky in the sun. Gunpowder was tied to the crossbow arrow, and the fuse was burning. It accurately hit a trebuchet. The arrow pierced into the trebuchet. With a bang, this  Two evil trebuchets were blown to pieces.  The busy Germans around were so shocked by this scene that it took them a long time to react.  Another crossbow arrow came over, this time it missed the trebuchet, but nailed a German soldier to the ground.  The crossbow arrow was fast and powerful, directly piercing the Germanic soldier's neck. The crossbow arrow penetrated the neck, and the trend continued unabated, sinking into the ground.  The surrounding German soldiers were stunned. This crossbow arrow was too overbearing. It could pierce people from such a long distance and then nail them to the ground. If three people stood in a row, how could they become candied haws on a stick?  Crossbow arrows flew over one by one, explosions continued, and trebuchets were destroyed. It was important to save their lives at this time. None of the German soldiers could care about the heavy trebuchets. They ran away one after another. Within a quarter of an hour, the people outside the city  The trebuchet was half destroyed.  Just when the Germans were on tenterhooks, the crossbow arrows finally stopped. Such giant crossbow arrows were not easy to make, so Ren Fe and others had to use them sparingly. Seeing that the trebuchet was almost destroyed, they stopped wasting crossbow arrows.  The crossbow arrows had stopped, but looking at the wreckage of so many trebuchets, Lothair's heart was bleeding. The hateful Easterners and those old Slavs, "I will make you pay the price." Lothair's unwilling voice  The hearts of those who listened were trembling. These trebuchets were built by the empire after a lot of efforts. Most of them borrowed the craftsmanship from the East. It was not easy. Unexpectedly, half of them were destroyed by the Vilnius garrison in an instant.  I also wanted to use these trebuchets to capture the city of Kiev, but I didn't expect that so many were destroyed in Vilnius.  Baisier saw that Lothair looked a little uncomfortable, so he quickly asked someone to pull the remaining trebuchets behind him. If the Easterners fired another round of crossbows, how many of the remaining trebuchets could be saved?  Waiting for Lothair to calm down, Baisier quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down, at least for one thing. We saw that the Orientals also have crossbows. This kind of defensive weapon must be guarded against." "We will attack later.  When entering the city, ask the brothers to spread out their formations and don't concentrate too much. Even if the Easterners have chariots and crossbows, it doesn't matter. This kind of crossbows is not easy to make, and they won't save too many." Lothair glanced coldly.  Vilnius City, he can say that he is bound to win this city. Even chariots and crossbows cannot stop the footsteps of the German warriors.  At noon, they buried the pots to make rice. As soon as the smoke dispersed, the smoke of war began to fill the surroundings. More than 3,000 German soldiers began to rush towards the city of Vilnius.  This time they were different from usual sieges. They were far apart from the front and back, dislocated left and right, and the formation was very scattered. Everyone held a round wooden shield. The arrow rain from the city head did not have much impact on them.  In addition to the sword, there is also a strange ax on their waist. The ax is divided into two sides. One side is a commonly used axe, and the other side looks like an iron hook. This ax is also called an ice-breaking ax and is used by Slavic hunters to climb ice rocks.  For this siege, the Germans made sufficient preparations.  The rain of arrows could not stop the Germans from attacking. They set up ladders and began to climb up. While climbing, they used their ice-breaking axes to smash the ice on the city wall, and the sharp iron hooks smashed down.  With a click, the ice began to crack. As more and more people smashed it with the ice-breaking hair in their hands, the ice surrounding the city wall peeled off bit by bit.  After all, the ice wall is artificially created and is not as hard and deep as the natural ice wall.  The German soldiers held up round shields in their left hands and climbed up little by little. When the commanders at the top of the city saw how brave the Germans were, they immediately ordered, "Bring up the rolling logs and smash these Germans down. Don't let them touch the battlements."  "The prepared rolling wood was placed on the cloud ladder, and the hand was released. The rolling wood rolled down the ladder. The wooden shield could block the arrows, but it could not bear the weight of the rolling wood. Suddenly, wailing sounds broke out, and everyone in the Germanic area heard howling.  The soldiers were like kites with broken strings, falling from the ladder with a bang.  Seeing this situation, a captain called his lieutenant over, "Order the archers behind to come up and suppress the enemy troops at the top of the city." The Germans worked for a long time to capture the city of Vilnius.  In preparation, commanders at all levels gave systematic instructions. Lothair personally gave instructions on when to suppress and when to attack.  After the longbowmen came up, they launched a rain of arrows to suppress the soldiers at the top of the city in accordance with the instructions. Under the rain of arrows, although the soldiers of the Dingguo Army guarding the city did not suffer many casualties, the unsparing rain of arrows made it impossible for them to show their heads.  , why talk about continuing to throw logs?  In desperation, I can only throw it out randomly, but the effect of doing so is much worse.  The defense at the top of the city was suppressed, and the pressure on the German soldiers responsible for attacking the city was greatly reduced. They roared like thunder and continued to charge upward, step after step, foot after foot.  Finally, some German soldiers climbed upThe ice-breaking ax in his hand hooked onto the city battlement, and he jumped into the city wall with force.  As soon as he landed, countless spears poked out from all around, stabbing the German soldier with several bloody holes.  But this is a good sign, proving that the German warriors have begun to touch the city.  Lothair had been observing the progress of the siege. When he saw someone climbing up the city, he clenched his fists excitedly, "Baisel, send the second echelon up. You must seize the opportunity. If this momentum is suppressed,  , it will be difficult to rush forward later. "When you see an opportunity, you should rush forward. You must not hesitate at this time.  Baisier nodded. Not long after he left, more than 4,000 German soldiers from the second echelon also began to press forward. This time they did not disperse their formation, but concentrated their charge. The city walls were busy dealing with the attacking soldiers, and there was no way they could attack the city.  There is no energy to operate the heavy crossbow.  There were more and more people attacking the city, and the pressure on the Dingguo Army soldiers guarding the city became increasing.  In the main attack direction of the southern city wall, the Germans had opened a gap, and nearly a hundred German soldiers had rushed forward. They occupied a position and planned to expand the gap and occupy the entire southern city wall.  The situation was precarious, but Ren Fe and others did not call for reinforcements, which must be said to be a strange thing.  Does the Vilnius garrison only have so many people?  Of course it's impossible. As a battle-hardened veteran, Yelusha couldn't do something stupid like throw away all his chips at once.  The fierce battle on the southern city wall was in full swing, and the number of casualties was gradually rising. However, Yelusha remained calm and still waited patiently.  At the last moment, a scout ran over and said, "General, the second echelon of the Germans has rushed forward and is expected to be able to scale the city wall within half an hour. Commander Ren Phen and Commander Nokikaf  The pressure over there is huge, I hope the general will rush to help as soon as possible. " "Very good, after waiting for so long, that old fox Lothair is finally moved." Yelusha has always been known for his bravery and boldness in commanding battles, and this time he still continued that kind of behavior.  A bold play.  Since the task of guarding the city of Vilnius is to kill the Germans as much as possible, more German soldiers must be allowed to rush forward.  But Lothair is a cautious old fox, and he will not give it a chance easily. Therefore, Lothair must see the hope of attacking the city before he can confidently and boldly send his troops up.  As for the Germans who attacked the southern city wall, that was also a flaw that was deliberately leaked. "Ziege, let the good soldiers and horses in the ambush rush up quickly. I will give you a quarter of an hour to defeat all these Germans."  After so long, I finally got a mission. I stood up straight and promised loudly.  With the appearance of more than a thousand soldiers and horses under Ziege, the situation on the southern city wall quickly reversed. With absolute strength advantage, the Dingguo army began to compress the space of the Germans.  There were already 200 German soldiers who had attacked the city. They were confident that they would seize the opportunity to capture the entire south wall and make a great contribution, but they did not expect that the situation suddenly reversed.  What is going on? If these people had been ambushing the city for a long time, why didn't they rush over and put the German warriors up?  Somehow, many people smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.  Sieg personally led the troops to charge, while Nokikav charged left and right with a mountain-breaking ax. For a time, the Germans were defeated and could only huddle in a small area and resist desperately. But what was waiting for them was also  It's just death.  Finally, these people could no longer hold on and began to climb down the ladder. In order to survive, the Germans scrambled to grab the ladder, for fear of falling behind and becoming the souls of the Orientals.  The people above retreated downwards, and the people below rushed upwards. The scene became chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the chaos was only maintained within a small range, and most of the ladders were not affected.  The captains below had no idea what was happening above. When they saw the Germans climbing down, they yelled angrily, "You idiots, what are you doing? Hurry up. Anyone who dares to escape down again will be killed by me."  " "Ah" a sharp scream pierced the eardrum, the captain half-opened his mouth, watching a German soldier flying out of the city. Of course, this German soldier could not fly, and he did not have peerless martial arts.  It was thrown out forcefully.  With a thud, he landed on the hard ground. The German soldier fell headfirst, his cervical vertebra piercing his head, and he could no longer die.  The captains finally understood why the German soldiers had to climb down. It turned out that the situation at the top of the city had changed.  However, at this time, the second echelon had already rushed forward, and His Majesty Lothair was determined to win the city of Vilnius, so there was no reason to retreat.  The second echelon and the first echelon combined, there are nearly 6,500 people, these people are enough to besieged the city on all sides. In order to capture the city of Vilnius as soon as possible, the German soldiers rushed forward again without fear of death.  This time the formation was dense and more ladders were set up.  The Germans were really good at fighting. Even Yelusha had to admire them. Such an army could gain a reputation wherever it was placed.  The main attack direction this time was still the south wall. The Germans seemed to have identified the south wall as the weakest link in Vilnius.The towering city wall, the climbing Germans, the rolling logs rolling down at any time, the corpses on the ground, and the dried and frozen blood clots, looked from a distance, like a swarm of ants hanging on a bluestone slab.  Seeing such a crazy attack by the Germans, Ren Feol's scalp felt a little numb. Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the city, Ren Feo slowly raised his hand and said, "Let go of the knife." The knife is for the Dingguo army.  It is no stranger to say that when he first attacked the Gorod Highlands, Tilov placed several large knives on the high ground, and many Dingguo Army soldiers were crushed to pieces by the large knives.  Yelusha learned this kind of knife attack from Tilov. The knife can be said to be a great weapon for defending the city. The improved knife weighs much less and seems to be no more lethal than before, but when used  It's more than enough to defend the city wall.  The Germans couldn't understand what the people on the wall were shouting. They just raised their eyebrows. The arrows and the rolling logs couldn't stop them. The people on top fell, and the people on the bottom came up.  Cameron is a serf under an eastern noble lord. This is his first time to participate in a large-scale siege. He is not afraid, but only excited. War is always the fastest way for poor people to enter the ranks of the nobility.  .  Raising his head, he was finally about to climb to the top of the city. As long as he climbed up, he would be a warrior of the Germans. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he looked to the left urgently. At this glance, Cameron's whole person  They were all stunned. An oval-shaped knife was hung on a chain as thick as a baby's arm. It was blown by the strong wind. Cameron didn't react at all. The knife passed by behind him.  Feeling that the chill was overwhelming, when he turned around, he saw one companion, not two companions. This poor man was cut in half by a knife, his body was separated from the left and right, and the blood from his internal organs was pouring on the heads of the people below.  Ouch, Cameron could no longer hide the fear in his heart, his legs were trembling, and he was holding the ladder in his hands and vomiting wildly. Boom, the knife was pulled back like a swing, stuck.  Mellon watched helplessly as his left hand was cut off, and the ladder was also cut in half. "Ah" This was the last roar of Cameron's life. Such a high ladder fell straight to the ground.  The hope of survival was too slim.  There were seven large knives rippling across the entire south city wall. Each knives was being pulled by someone, swinging left and right, and being strangled. Whether they were people or ladders, they were as fragile as paper in front of the knives.  The Germans had obviously never seen a large guillotine. They were so frightened by the sight in front of them that the people below the city also forgot to continue climbing up. The guillotine shook, and no matter whether they were people or objects, everything was gone, and blood was sprinkled on the city wall.  , hung with stumps and pieces of meat, and the bluestone city wall was washed like a red vermilion wall.  Facing the ruthless sword, the Germans no longer dared to move forward. At this time, the crossbows and arrow rain became powerful again, and the longbowmen fired all the arrows in their hands.  In order to capture the city of Vilnius in one fell swoop, the Germans gathered a dense army of soldiers and horses under the city. They could not evacuate even if they wanted to. With howling arrows and lack of adequate shield protection, the German soldiers fell in pieces.  The long archers were trapped in the defeated army, and even if they wanted to organize a formation to suppress them, it was impossible.  The first siege battle lasted from noon to evening. After leaving more than 5,000 corpses behind, the Germans retreated in panic. Lothair looked at the blood-like casualty figures in his hands and felt a sharp pain in his heart.  It was just the first attack, and so many people were lost. Wasn't the life of the German warriors not life?  The heart is bleeding, the sadness is flying, the tears have already flooded the heart, but there is nowhere to cry for the pain. He is Lothair, the king of the Holy Empire. No matter how great the pain is, he must swallow it with the blood in his stomach.  , he must be strong. If he can't hold on now, then the Germanic zombies under his command will be even less able to hold on.  Orientals, this revenge must be avenged.
