Chapter 344 Start the siege (Add 210 for Lancelot_all leader)

"Your dear brother has surrendered, Randall, how does it feel?"

Facing Richard's inquiry, Randall had mixed feelings in his heart. To be honest, he actually wanted to arrest his father and younger brother by himself, but he couldn't do it after all, because his old man Father Ragnar has gone to see the mother of the seven hundred gods, and his younger brother Ragnar Jr. has also become Charles' prisoner.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have eliminated another enemy and won a great victory." Randall said bitterly. The Principality of Rogel is his motherland after all. Now the motherland is destroyed, even if he belongs to Wens now. Te Kingdom, but still feel a little heartache.

"This is all Charles's credit. I just did some trivial work." Richard said modestly. He could see Randall's mood swings. After thinking about it, he decided not to let him go in advance. The news of becoming the new Grand Duke Rogel told him that after the Kingdom of Mijanis was destroyed, he would tell the whole story and give Randall a big surprise.

Hearing this, Randall didn't answer either. To be precise, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep silent. Richard saw that he was silent, smiled slightly, and turned to look at the devastated Fort Meggeren. The city wall, the voice drifted over, and passed into Randall's ears: "Wait for tomorrow, tomorrow we will be able to take Fort Miggelen."

"So fast?" Randall was startled, and thought to himself, but Richard seemed to be able to sense what he was thinking, and then said: "Randauer, you don't seem to have seen the power of explosives, so tomorrow I will Let me see and open your eyes."

This is true. Since Randall joined, the First Army has always used artillery to attack the city, and has never used explosives. Therefore, Randall's concept of gunpowder is only limited to the use of artillery and muskets. level of preparation.

Hearing what Richard said, Randall also became interested. He resisted the urge to ask questions and waited for the siege to arrive the next day.

The next day, the siege began.

Today is a good weather as always. The warm sunshine shines on the soldiers of the First Legion, giving people a warm feeling. It is best to stay at home in this kind of weather and lie on a comfortable big bed. In that kind of room with light-leaking windows, it is very comfortable to feel the warm sunshine on your body and enjoy it with your eyes closed—rather than standing here and preparing to participate in fierce siege battles.

"Soldiers, there is good weather today, which is also a good sign. I hope the sunshine can purify the evil in Fort Miglen, so that we can take over the city without any effort."

"Hahaha..." The soldiers couldn't help laughing when they heard Richard's joke, and the tension before the battle also eased a lot.

"But!" Richard suddenly raised his voice, and changed the topic: "This is impossible, the evil in Fort Meggeren has been deeply rooted, and we can only purify it with the knives and swords in our hands! My dear soldiers Ladies and gentlemen, God and Our Lady want us to purify the world of evil, how can we live up to their expectations?

Therefore, please take up your courage, pick up your shields, draw out your sharp swords, and fight for the glory of Christ under the banner of God! "

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

"God is watching us!"

"Whirring whirring!"

"When Shenwei destroys the city wall, it's time for our army to show its might!"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, a group of heavily armored sergeants selected in advance rushed out of the army formation. They carried a large amount of explosive packs, arranged in a tight square formation and ran towards the city wall at a fast pace.In order to cover them, several brigades of civilian archers and brigades of civilian crossbowmen stepped out of the formation and fired at the defenders on the city wall. Eighteen cannons roared again, but because most of the gunpowder was used to pack explosives, Today's launch frequency is much sparser than yesterday's.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

On the city wall, the officers roared loudly from time to time, and the archers in the army were desperately shooting with their bows, trying to stop the heavily armored sergeant brigade approaching the city wall, although they did not know that the other party was not carrying any siege equipment, and approached the city wall. what can be done.

The clanging sound kept ringing on the shields raised by the heavily armed sergeants, but they were basically bounced off after hitting the shields. Only a few could penetrate the shields and pose a threat to the soldiers below, and few of them were unlucky bugs Even more so, the hand holding the shield was hit by the arrow that penetrated the shield, the palm was directly pierced, and blood gushed out, splashing blood all over his face, and he immediately let out a painful scream.

The arrows of the defenders were so weak, but the crossbowmen of the First Legion were extremely powerful. The crossbowmen with the numerical advantage shot rounds of arrow rain at the defenders on the city wall that could almost cover the sky. , the black rain of arrows drew arcs in mid-air, and then covered the entire city wall. Those soldiers who could not dodge were immediately shot into hedgehogs, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

Their tragic appearance frightened the soldiers hiding around. No one wanted to be shot into a hedgehog, so they could only continue to hide behind the wall and shiver, trying to keep their bodies curled up to avoid any tricky angles. The arrow just happened to hit him.In addition to the fear of the arrow rain, the roaring sound from time to time also made them terrified. Every time the shell hit the city wall, it seemed to hit their hearts, making their hearts tremble violently along with the city wall.

Roberto, who happened to be standing in the tower, looked worriedly at the distress of his soldiers, sighed, and could only turn around and walk down the city wall. In his opinion, the city wall was almost unnecessary to guard, and he was scared out of his wits just because of this. The soldiers can only be captured without a fight.Fortunately, there is still an army under the city wall. If the city wall is blown down, he will personally lead the army to block the gap in the city wall!

It's just that I don't know what happened to Katrin who was staying in the city. She was responsible for mobilizing the civilians in the city to fight against Winster's army. So far, there is no news.thought Robert.

At this time, Katrin was besieged by the remaining Winster soldiers in the city. Seeing that the army outside the city was attacking, they couldn't just sit and wait, so they gathered together to find a chance to help the army, and their chance came soon. , Katrin and a few soldiers just passed by their hiding place, and these Winster soldiers rushed out of the hiding place and launched an attack on Katrin in an attempt to capture the king first with a wave of alien version.

But they failed to succeed with one blow. They didn't have much strength after not having enough food for a long time. They only had time to sneak attack and kill an unlucky guard. Katrin and other guards reacted and drew their swords to fight back. They were killed several times in one fell swoop. Individuals, they were complaining so much in their hearts that they were actually kicked on the iron plate!
