Rise In Calradia

These weighted stone dumpers that rely on gravity began to throw at the castle. The 120-pound stones cut through the air in the air, and the loud ones could be heard on the ground. Then the huge stone bullet flew over the castle wall under the gaze of the soldiers from both sides and hit the armory on the mountainside behind the wall. It was one of the buildings between the main body of the castle and the wall, in order to preserve the bows and crossbows in it. The sword is made of stone, so it should be very strong. But the stone smashed a big hole in the wall of the armory, and flew directly into the armory. The clinking metal crashing sounded for a long time, and then the roof and the wall collapsed together, making a good building. It became half a ruined house and half a ruin.

The remaining stones also hit the target one after another. One of them hit the main body of the castle, while the others hit the wall. The defending soldiers heard a huge noise, and then they lowered their heads to check and found that there was an appearance on the wall. Several depressions of different sizes, the most serious of which even dropped a few fist-sized rubble, and the depression was enough to fit into the palm of the hand.

The soldiers of the garrison expressed their feelings about the horror of this thing. They had seen Lord Earl test the strength of the city wall before. As a result, the stones launched by their towing catapults did not hit even a single pebble, only a few of them were left. Less noticeable marks. Compared to these siege weapons, their catapults are simply toys.

And this is only the first round of attacks. These counterweight stone throwers are supervised by Atiman and are very durable. It only requires a little preparation (about half an hour, the engineering team is short of manpower), and the second round of attacks is Already ready, another five stone bullets shot towards the castle. This time the head was much better. Two stone bullets hit the city’s head, smashed the crevice, and took a few Rhodoks who had not had time to evade. The wall shook down, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. One of them was hit by a stone, and half of his body's bones were shattered under the impact.

The soldiers panicked. Although they were psychologically prepared yesterday, they still underestimated the power of the counterweight stone throwers. And what they didn’t know was that if it weren’t for the tight time and the laborious transportation of stones, Yatiman could build a larger, stronger, and better counterweight stone thrower, and reverse the weight of the stone projectiles fired by the counterweight stone thrower. It is more than three times as powerful, so the power will be even more terrifying.

The Rhodoks tried to fight back, but Byron deliberately set the two trebuchets so that they could be aimed at the towers on both sides, so after six shots between the two sides, the two trebuchets on the castle tower were all set. It was smashed, and the tower was broken through several gaps, causing the Rodok crossbowmen to dare not climb the two towers.

Needless to say, Byron's forces either hid in the fortifications and houses inside the fortress, or fired heavy stone bombs at the castle safely outside the city. This attack continued for a whole day. Hundreds of people used the horse-drawn carriages they "requisitioned" from the village to transport the stones from the nearby mountains, and then threw them on the castle, smashing a large dent on the wall. If it weren't for suitable stones to become harder and harder to find, the attacks on the castle's defenders would have been even more fierce.

After checking the condition of the city wall that night, the defenders in the castle came to a bad conclusion that if the opponent's attack came for a few more days, the castle might not be able to support it. They only need to wait for the addition of a stone thrower to make a gap in the castle wall, destroy their towers and fortifications, and then attack the hillside. They may be able to resist for a while, relying on the internal structure of the castle to fight for a while, but ultimately they fail. Inevitable.

The current military commander of the castle, the count’s cron and steward, had to make a difficult decision after careful consideration. He planned to make a desperate attack and launch a sneak attack at night. He had been observing the movements of those enemies before, and even took the risk of being smashed to death on the tower to watch. He found that the opponent seemed to rely heavily on those siege weapons, slack off day by day, even gave up daily patrols, and had nothing to do all day long. Watch the excitement. The steward believed that if they seized this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, the other party would not have expected it. They were likely to defeat the other party's arrogant army and at least destroy those damned counterweight stone throwers.

So in one evening, the butler led all the soldiers in the castle to gather together. They lit candles and prayed together in the castle church for their victory. Finally, they brought signs to avoid accidental injury, and then opened the door and rushed out.

For a time, the fire light illuminated the fortress, and the butler took the lead and launched a charge, followed by 327 Rhodok soldiers, this is their all.

Seeing the Rhodok army rushing out of the castle, the night watchmen who were eating and drinking around the fire were startled. He yelled for everyone to get up, but the Rhodoks arrived in the next second. By their side, they raised a military **** and a war hammer, and in a blink of an eye they shattered the bridge of his nose and knocked open his skull.

The sleeping soldiers woke up one after another, looking for weapons in a panic, but at this time they didn't even wear their armor. Facing the swarming Rhodok soldiers, they were killed after a little resistance in the house.

The Rhodok army killed dozens of enemies at once, and the remaining people fled indiscriminately. The butler shouted in excitement and continued to attack. All the troops left the castle and started in the fortress. Slaughtered the unprepared enemies in the middle of the game, and even wanted to capture Byron and his close friends alive to end the battle.

But at this moment, the walls on the four sides of the fortress were suddenly filled with torches. Under the light of the fire, the butler discovered that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Byron's army was standing on the wall, holding them in their hands. The bow and crossbow, behind them, are the peony banners shining in the light of the fire, dancing with the cool night breeze.

"Surrender or die!"

A man in plate armor appeared on their path, behind them was a whole group of heavily armed Swadia infantry and mercenary halberds carrying a halberd. On their side, many mercenaries also appeared, and these mercenaries quickly went around behind them and began to surround them.

"Desperate fight!"

Seeing this scene, the steward swallowed hard, and then summoned the courage to shout, and the troops behind him immediately formed a formation and rushed towards the enemy.

For a time, countless crossbow arrows were shot down from the walls in all directions, and a large number of enemy troops also raised their shields and showed their swords.

........

At dawn, the Rodok soldiers who fled back to the castle no longer needed to count their numbers in detail, 21 survivors, and 4 wounded soldiers who were half dead.

The white flag rose from the spire of the castle, and Fort Amira, the fortress in the east of Rhodok, was completely lost.
