"My God! Damn it! What are you doing!"
"Release! You idiot!" The soldier whose arm was pinched by the guard threw off his hand and stood up from behind the city gate.
He rubbed the painful part and glanced into the distance. In an instant, he almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
He hurriedly pushed away his comrades beside him, and he immediately jumped to a bell on the city wall, beating frantically.
"Deng deng deng deng dang..."
The rapid and harsh sound of bells quickly rang over the small castle. After hearing the sound, the defenders in the castle hurried out of the barracks and climbed the city wall to check the situation.
"Damn it, sure enough..." The owner of the castle, Baron Wyndon wearing a full-body chain armor, appeared on the city wall. He supported the city wall with both hands, and looked at the army that was slowly approaching in the distance. go soft.
Although he had always known that a war would soon begin between the Rhine Kingdom and the Northern Empire, it was inevitable to be full of panic when such a large army appeared in front of him.
"Damn it! Damn it! A bunch of idiots! They only know how to fight for power and profit. In the end, the one who steps on the horse wants me to bear the consequences! Damn it!" Baron Winton cursed through gritted teeth, venting the fear in his heart.
"What are you waiting for! Get ready for battle, everyone! Put on your armor! Pick up your spear and sword! Get all the guys who can kill you ready, and whoever dares to be incompetent, I'll kill him now!"
Before that, Baron Winton was very fortunate. He thought he was a very smart nobleman, and he also reacted very early that the Lanyin Kingdom was going to go to war with the Northern Empire. After the spring ploughing, only half of the land was sown.
All the troops are also concentrated in this medium-sized castle, including the strong men recruited from various villages, and the defending army has reached more than 800 people.
After everything is ready, he feels that his safety has been greatly guaranteed, at least if the enemy arrives, he can persist until the arrival of reinforcements.
But what made him lose control was not only the huge number of enemies, but also the nobles from all over the country, as well as those ministers in the imperial capital, those idiots arguing about whether to fight or not, and arguing for their own petty interests. , so that they are not fully prepared for war.
The defenders in the city hurriedly made preparations. The regulars began to wear armor, and the conscripts were already wearing armed clothes. Now they were running to the warehouse, preparing to bring the bows and arrows.
The unseen and terrifying number of enemy troops left a deep impression in their hearts, especially these conscripts, who still have lingering fears and a sense of fear from their souls.
Those regulars were better, at least they didn't seem as flustered as the conscripts, but they couldn't avoid fear in their hearts, and the hands of these people holding weapons were still trembling slightly.
Baron Winton supported the city with both hands, and after a while, he felt that he had enough strength under his feet, and then he broke away from the city wall and began to ponder in his heart.
Unlike the tension and panic in the city, the Lanyin Kingdom army did not have the tension before the war, the veterans were relatively relaxed, and in their opinion, a small castle was not so scary.
The mobilization words of Theodosius have played a role. Before that, they were very confident in their own strength, but they were not as good as they are now. It was Theodosius' words that made them understand that their weapons The equipment and training intensity have surpassed those of the legendary strong army, and he is the most powerful army in the world, there is no doubt and no doubt.
What does the world's strongest army need to worry about facing such a small castle? There is no need to worry at all, any tension is unnecessary.
Of course, although they are arrogant, they have not become idiots for the time being, and they all know that once a war starts, they need to go all out and execute orders resolutely.
Although it is reasonable to say that arrogant soldiers will lose, it is usually too proud to the point of no brains, but the army of the Lanyin Kingdom can achieve victory without arrogance and defeat, and act rigorously and go all out. This is the **** of war. The teachings of the church, which Theodosius constantly emphasized, was that as long as there were no problems with the system of the Rhine Kingdom, there would not be a situation of defeat due to pride, but instead would be full of morale due to pride.
Theodosius did not order the soldiers to prepare for the siege at the first time. Now that the siege equipment is not ready, rashly attacking will only bring greater sacrifices.
Although it is said that there are no undead in war, Theodosius does not want any casualties that should not appear, and when conditions permit, complete preparations must be made before Theodosius will start to act.
The soldiers began to set up the camp in an orderly manner. Although their spirits were high, they did not slack because of it. The fences were nailed firmly and the tents were set up according to the plan.
At the same time, the artisans accompanying the army began to assemble the siege equipment. These parts were prepared in advance. Odosi didn't want to dream too much at night.
Besides, to fight such a small castle, there is really no need for a one-time siege device like a trebuchet, as long as there are rushing vehicles, siege towers, and long ladders.
The trebuchet was prepared for a long-term siege. With that impressive hit rate, it was unrealistic to use it to break the city. At most, it was a kind of firepower suppression and morale blow.
It’s better to be able to hit the city wall, but that’s the same thing if you can’t hit the city wall. It’s not realistic to want to rely on a trebuchet to break the city wall, because even a small castle that can only accommodate one or two hundred people, the city wall is generally one or two meters long. Thick, such as the New Lanyin City, the defense can only be said to be average, but the thickness of the city wall can reach about five meters, and you can't collapse it with a counterweight trebuchet.
The craftsmen are not slow to assemble, and it seems that everything will be ready before evening. This time he is carrying ten siege towers, five rushing chariots, seventy or eighty long ladders, with the assistance of soldiers. , the efficiency of this group of artisans accompanying the army is quite high.
Theodosius looked at the Fort Andonia in front of him and nodded silently.
He mainly took a fancy to the strategic location of the castle, not that the castle was really strong and huge.
Seriously speaking, this Fort Andonia is not as big as Longjian Fort, and it can accommodate only 2,000 troops.
However, as long as it can be taken down, this castle can become a solid stronghold. Even if it is really fighting with the enemy here, it is a huge advantage to be backed by the city wall.
