After saying goodbye to Felix, we walked out of the quartermaster's office, Catalina looked a little depressed, it seemed that most of the people in the stronghold maintained a very optimistic attitude towards this siege battle, they thought that even if Trump could not hold it, relying on the various large ordnance and various arrangements on the city walls, these troops in the city could withdraw from Trum City in a planned, step-by-step, and orderly manner.The reason why the garrisons in the stronghold have so much confidence is that most of them come from the oath of Count Horace, although it is not publicly stated, but the identity of this young earl is no secret in the Trump stronghold, his father Marquis Armand is the second son of the Duke of Samoyed, so the Duke of Samoyed is the grandfather of the Count of Horace.In the Hiero plane, there may be people who don't know who His Majesty the Emperor of the Green Empire is, but there will never be anyone who doesn't know who the Grand Duke of Samoyed is, in fact, the Grand Duke of Samoyed is the real ruler of the Hiero plane, so when these garrisons saw Horace swearing and patting his chest.
He promised to live and die with the Trump stronghold, and this sentence suddenly became the most powerful spiritual pillar in the hearts of all the guards.I sighed secretly, and said in my heart: If these garrisons knew that the second son of the Duke of Samoyed, the Marquis of Armand, was also trapped in Tanton, I don't know what they would think."
Don't be so frustrated, since they all have the determination to defend the city, then let's sneak out of the city tonight, we can also find an opportunity to kill the spider-man warriors who escaped alone in the Black Forest as before, at least we can help the defenders of the Trump stronghold to contain the Nibru spider-men a little, I think we can still easily do this."
I patted Caterina on the shoulder with my hand and comforted her.Then he pointed to the solid walls of the city, and said to Katarina, "You see, this is a city, it is not so easy to penetrate, the walls are made entirely of iron ore, and although it looks old, it is definitely very strong. ”The soldiers on duty on the back city wall looked far more relaxed than the soldiers on the front tower, and they knew that there was no pressure to patrol here.So I pointed to these warriors on the city wall again, and said to Katarina: "Look at the warriors on the city wall, their faces are full of desire to fight, it can be said that joining the army and fighting is an experience that every man in the empire must go through, every man must serve in the army, as long as the faith in their hearts is still there, the defense line will not collapse." ”I wiped the tears from the corners of Katerina's eyes with my thumb and fingers, and whispered, "Wipe your tears, you said that you will take me to visit the Trump stronghold today, and tell me how you have come over the past few years." ”Caterina sniffed, tried to squeeze out a smile at me, took a deep breath, and said to me stubbornly, "I didn't cry!"
”Then, Caterina sorted out her bad mood, smiled again, and led me up the stone steps in the northeast corner of the stronghold to the wall behind the stronghold, she was still the red-haired girl in the caravan of the dance company, her enthusiasm, her gentleness, little by little revealed in front of me.I'm afraid that before this, she had almost completely integrated into her new role, the battalion commander of the seventh battalion of the Trump stronghold.The Trump stronghold can also be regarded as a small castle, the whole castle is very complete with various facilities, there are two gates in front of the stronghold, one is a large road that can be passed by eight horses in front, there is a moat in front of the city wall that has been filled with sand and gravel, and the wooden drawbridge has been completely crushed, broken into several pieces and discarded at the front gate.The gate in front had been completely blocked from the inside, by the defenders of the Trump stronghold.The back gate of the Trump stronghold is very narrow, only two horses can pass through in parallel, and this road leads to the back mountain of the Trump stronghold, I didn't expect that there is still a passage behind the back gate of the stronghold.The Trum stronghold is built on the gentle slope of the mountain, low in front and high in the back, where the two mountain ranges meet.Although the actual height of the wall in front of the base is much higher than that of the wall behind, due to the topography, you can feel that you have a panoramic view of everything when you stand on the wall behind it.The structure of the buildings in the city is very simple, the outermost part is a ring of strong walls, inside the city wall are ten battalions of barracks, and a little further inside, in fact, some craftsmen's workshops dedicated to the service of the barracks, when we walked, we passed a carpentry workshop, so that we could see the whole stack of bed crossbow arrows stacked together.In fact, there is more than one workshop that surrounds the school grounds.I stood on the rampart of the city and looked around, and on the other side of the colony, I found a blacksmith and a leather shop, a special stone house, with smoke rising from a tall chimney, and a faint clanging sound could be heard from it.The other tanning shop is even more conspicuous, with wooden shelves drying some animal skins.In the center of the Trump stronghold is a huge school field, large enough to accommodate thousands of people.Caterina led me up to an arrow tower on the city wall, and just as the guard at the gate was about to stop us, Caterina took off the steel helmet from her head and held it in her hand, her long red hair scattered like a waterfall, and the guard stared at Caterina speechless in astonishment.With a straight face, Caterina walked coldly past the guard, who did not dare to stop us, and we easily climbed to the arrow tower in the northeast corner.I carefully looked at the layout of the buildings in the Trump stronghold, silently jotting down all the details.As I looked around, I said nonchalantly, "Those guards seem to be afraid of you?"
”Katerina smiled faintly and said, "They are all soldiers of the third battalion, and they have been taught by me in the school field. ”I saw Count Horace standing majestically on the wall in front of the stronghold, still surrounded by a group of cronies.The guards of the city wall carried bundles of stout bed crossbow arrows to the head of the city, and some warriors were overhauling the city.
Bed crossbow, raised platform behind the city wall, arranged a huge wooden frame to build up the catapult, these catapults look like tower cranes, completely using the principle of leverage, the iron frame is coated with grease boulder thrown out, this kind of catapult range can reach a long distance, the thrown stone balls are also a ton of huge rolling stones, this kind of stone falls on the ground, the fragmented stone chips are also very lethal.All the longbowmen in the Trum stronghold were stationed on the southern wall, resting with their backs behind the projecting battlements of the wall.A thumb-sized piece of gravel suddenly rolled down from the cliff overhead, and landed on the ground paved with bricks of the arrow tower beside me, and it shattered with a snap, and the sound startled me, if I took a little bit, the stone would fall directly on my head, and I secretly said: It's dangerous!
He was glad that he had escaped a catastrophe, and casually looked up at the top of the cliff, only to see dozens of thick spider silks hanging down from the top of the cliff, and a group of spider-man warriors covered with one or two pieces of solid armor on important parts of their bodies were silently pounced down the rope.Seeing the spider-man warriors hanging overhead, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, I didn't expect the spider-man's raid to come so quickly, and the spider-people also adopted a cliff-top airborne raid method, intending to capture the back gate of Trum City, and completely block the garrison of the Trum stronghold in the stronghold.However, on the walls of the back city, the garrison is the weakest, as if these spider-man warriors happened to grasp this weakness."
There's an enemy attack!"
I tore my throat and shouted at the garrison below the tower.The guards at the head of the city below the arrow tower didn't hear my broken shouts for a while, but they looked at the top of the arrow tower, I pointed to the stone cliff above their heads, and the guards, who originally looked relaxed, raised their heads and saw those black figures falling from the sky, and their faces turned pale with fright.Before the guards could prepare their longbows, a large black figure appeared above the cliff as the falling rubble rolled down.The spider-man warrior only climbed halfway to the stone cliff, and saw that the guards of the city wall below had already looked up one after another, so he didn't hesitate too much, his hands let go of the white spider silk, and the eight spider legs were pulled out of the cliff wall at the same time, and his bulky body suddenly lost control, like a boulder, with countless stones rolling down from the top of his head.The defenders at the head of the city had already picked up their longbows, and when they saw the spider-men on the cliff actually jumping down directly, they discarded the longbows in horror, and grabbed one spear after another with their backhands on the side, facing those spider-man warriors.Caterina reacted faster, ran directly to the position where the bed crossbow was placed in the arrow tower, shook the winch with both hands quickly, and shouted to me: "Jijia, hurry up and help me, bring the crossbow arrows in the back!"
”I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly ran to the corner of the arrow tower, picked up a crossbow arrow from there, placed it on the arrow carriage of the bed crossbow, and fixed it.At this time, Caterina had already calibrated the crosshair of the bed crossbow, and pulled the bracket on the bed crossbow, trying to adjust the angle of the bed crossbow, but desperately, the elevation angle of the bed crossbow was only about thirty degrees, and no matter how it was calibrated, it could not be aimed at the spider people on the cliff.I looked at the spider-man warriors like the tide of the sea, and without any hesitation, I took out a magic catalytic magic scroll from my magic waist bag, and quickly tore it open, I clearly felt countless magic elements floating in the air around my body, and at this moment they all began to be restless, and a huge light blue magic circle appeared under my feet, and an ice spear appeared above my head.At this time, the horn of war finally sounded on the head of the city in front of the Trump stronghold."
Woo woo" Directly in front of the spider camp suddenly rushed out of a row of black waves, those black waves are one holding a heavy shield, the other holding a black iron spear spider-man warriors, just behind them, four like a hill spider-man overseers also came out of the camp one after another, the four spider-man overseers with ten-meter-long spears in their hands, following behind the spider-man warriors.This battle came so without warning.Count Horace, who was standing at the head of the city, was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground at this moment, but the next moment he was helped up by his relatives, and immediately pointed at those spider-man warriors on the battlefield, and he didn't know what orders were issued, the distance between me and Count Horace was too far, and I didn't know what the young count was talking about.However, the warriors in front of the city were also quite fast, and after hearing the horns of the vigilant sentinels, the longbowmen who were hiding behind the battlements immediately grabbed the longbows around them and stood behind the battlements, each of which had a shield warrior by his side as cover.As the crunching sound began to be remembered, one after another, one after another bed crossbows were pushed forward, the tips of the bright crossbow arrows were all exposed from the city walls, one catapult after another was tightly leveraged, and the huge rolling stones in the iron kuang held a layer of hay, which was tightly wrapped in the stones, and some warriors poured the black oil from the barrels beside the catapult onto the hay.In just a few breaths, on the frontal battlefield of the Trump stronghold, those spider-man warriors have been completely spread out, and thousands of spider-man warriors are running wildly together, and the entire Trum mountain body is shaking strongly.There was a whooshing sound that tore through the air, and the longbowmen standing at the head of the city shot the first round of arrows at the spider-man warriors in the distance.At the same time, the sound of continuous contending also sounded one after another, and the warriors standing behind the bed crossbow pulled the handle vigorously, and the bed crossbow arrows, which were no less than ordinary spears, flew out at a gallop, making one air explosion after another in the air.There were a dozen bed crossbows in front of the city that fired the first round of crossbow arrows almost at the same time, and then the loader next to the bed crossbow hurriedly installed the next crossbow arrow, and the other warrior immediately twisted the winch.Several large fireballs streaked through the sky, and these fireballs were thrown from the trebuchet with billowing smoke, and cut a graceful arc in the air, and from time to time some unburned blades of grass fell to the ground.A siege without warning was the prelude.Caterina and I glanced at each other, both reading each other's concerns.The implication in my eyes is: as soon as an uncontrollable situation arises, I will open the portal and let her hide inside, and then I will find a way out of it myself.But Caterina's eyes were full of pleading, she wanted me to find a way to save the Trump stronghold, but when she saw the spider forest, those black waves were surging over, and thousands of spider-man warriors could not resist the guards in the stronghold anyway.At this time, the first wave of armor-piercing arrows has fallen into the wave of spider-men
