Rise In Calradia

The giant Olaf is from the northern continent like Matilda. His hometown is not far from Matilda's hometown. He has even heard of Matilda's name, but he has never met. Because he is so strong, he is worth three at work, and five at a time. The local Yar funded him a set of customized armor and weapons, making him his most brave warrior. . However, in a fighting match held by the Jarres, the big man failed to control his strength and killed someone. The family of that person was very prestigious in the local area. This triggered a vendetta. In desperation, Jarre could only kill him. Expulsion, let him take his full outfit to the Nord Kingdom in the south.

As a result, he met a group of pirates at sea. The pirates looted their ship. They didn't take them as slaves for the sake of the same clan, but they took him away. The leader of the pirate was surprised by the strength of this big man, absorbed him into the team, and promised a generous reward. As a result, they ran into the regular Vikya army for the first time after they looted. They were defeated by 300 to 50. They fled in a disastrous defeat. Olaf escaped with a few arrows in his body. Fortunately, the quality of his chain armor was good. He was slightly injured and ran away. After that, just evading and wandering all the way, ran to the territory of Swadia in a daze, and was discovered by Dherim's patrol.

On this road, he has been confused to join various forces and hold various positions, but he has never volunteered. Especially now, there is not even a person around him who can chat. Because Byron told him in Nordic language that he would discuss with Count Kleis after the war and let him follow him. He can earn a high salary and live freely outside of his tasks, and he can also stay with his northern compatriots. .

Olaf was very happy, of course he hoped so, and promised that he would be very happy to serve Byron if he could.

Byron was very happy and went back to rest with satisfaction. Except for some necessary things during the siege, their leaders didn't have many things to worry about, and all the chores could be handled by their subordinates. The supply in the city is already sufficient, there is nothing to worry about now.

The soldiers and residents in the city spent another five days at ease in this way. People were still very optimistic about the future. After the last victory, they felt that there would be no big problems next. But in the past few days, the officers who often went up to the city wall to observe the enemy's situation were not calm.

The Kurgits outside the city built a stone thrower that was taller than the inside. At first glance, they knew that it was the work of the Salander engineer from the south. Although there were only three, they were enough to threaten the city wall and the soldiers on the city. And after these heavily protected stone throwers, the Kujites also prepared other siege equipment.

Five huge ladder trucks of the same height as the city wall are lined up. Four heavy hammers with iron-clad heads are prepared. More than 20 catapults are being pushed in front of the formation. , This time the Kujites are here for real.

In addition, on the other side of the city, those slaves and civilians have been building a group of wooden towers in the north of the city. From above those towers, the Kujit archers can shoot at the defenders on the city wall. They also brought in a large amount of soil, and they don't know what they are going to do. Maybe they are filling the moat with the soil, or they may be building a mountain of soil outside the city to gain a high degree of advantage.

Of course, the defenders in Dehrim did not sit still. After an emergency meeting, a 300-man cavalry squad was selected. It was full of good players, led by five knights in the city, carrying gunpowder kegs and tinder. Going out of the city in the dark, intending to destroy those siege equipment. They wrapped their horses' hooves, made signs, carefully left the city in the dark, and then rushed to the Kujit's position. They had investigated before, and there were fewer than 100 defenders, and many others were lazy.

However, before they arrived at the opponent's position, a torch was suddenly lit on Kujit's side. Amidst a scream, the ropes of the catapult in the back row were pulled one after another, and large pieces of iron briers and rubble came from above the position. Flew over, and landed in front of and among the cavalry. These weapons were originally used to resist the Kujites, but they were collected by the enemy and used on them.

In the dark, the cavalry could not see where the iron briers had fallen. The stones hurt many riders and horses. The iron briers also injured many horses while they were running. Chaos suddenly appeared in the cavalry team. The speed of the whole army dropped. Then a row of wooden fences buried in the soil in the Kujit's position was pulled up. These fences were cut very sharply. Under the pull of more than a dozen soldiers, they stood in front of the battle like a horse. The heavy cavalry rushing forward did not control the horses and ran into them directly. In order to move quickly and avoid excessive noise, the armors of these horses were removed. This time the bodies of these horses were all stuck in the fence after the collision. The blood poured out like running water, and the riders on their backs naturally all fell to the ground, and some were even pressed by the horses.

"We were found! Retreat!"

Seeing the soldiers who put up their spears and long knives after the fence, the leading knight immediately found that something was wrong, and ordered a retreat, giving up this opportunity. His decision was wise, because after a few minutes, more Khergit cavalry will be killed from behind. They are holding torches, carrying hammers and sabers. If there is a while at night, this cavalry unit will definitely Surrounded.

The Kurgits were well prepared, the raid tactics failed, and dozens of cavalry and their expensive war horses were also mounted. Since then, Earl Kleis has not ordered an attack, but has strengthened the city defense as much as possible, and Arrange more catapults in the city, place more quiveres on the walls, and fire barrels that can ignite rockets.

Byron also asked craftsmen to create dozens of long hooks, and they were sharpened like sickles, which were used to attack the siege Khergits and cut off all things that could be broken.

Just two days later, the second round of the Khergit offensive began. Byron was standing on the top floor of the castle, next to Earl Kleis and four flag bearers holding flags of different colors. Another flag is placed. These flags are used to give orders to troops in different positions. There are also many flag bearers on the roof of the castle to transmit messages and trumpeters for prompts to ensure that combat orders can be carried out at the fastest speed. Pass it to the city wall.

This time the Kurgits were quite prepared. At least 1,000 infantrymen held high shields to cover the advancement of the siege equipment, and the stone thrower was also loaded with stone bullets and placed within range last night.

The huge boulder was thrown out by the stone thrower, and a thick line was drawn in the air, hitting the city wall. Suddenly, an easily recognizable pit appeared on the walls of Dherim, and broken stones fell one after another. The stones hitting the city’s head caused even greater trouble. A bed crossbow was smashed to pieces, and the soldiers next to it were not spared. The stone was hung on half of his body and he lost consciousness, and his bones were broken.

The soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly yelled at the soldiers in the city to fight back. The catapult on the tower of the city wall was also loaded with stones. The defenders began to fight back. The huge stones flew over the people's heads. The soldiers on both sides were careful. Avoid the boulders and let your troops fight back.

The trebuchets and trebuchets on the city wall continue to throw stones, trying to destroy the moving trebuchets and the three stone rappers behind, and the big guys, that is, they can directly threaten the defenders on the wall. Ladder siege vehicle.

They have already observed that when the thousand soldiers in the first round escorted the car forward, the infantry team in the second round had already begun to advance under the cover of those huge ladder trucks, and the number was no less than that of the previous wave.

The heavy weapons on the walls of Dehrim are superior in quality, but there are too many targets to attack under the walls, and there are too many troops to cover, so after destroying a few catapults, Some of the catapults still arrived within range and started to shoot stones towards the city wall.

The pressure on the defenders at the head of the city suddenly increased. While avoiding the continuous attack of stones, they were stringing their crossbows and shooting arrows at the soldiers who manipulated the siege weapons. Those catapults went too far, with As for entering the range of the Chengtou crossbow, the wide field of vision made it easy for them to aim at the target.

They did kill a few people, but soon Kurgit’s follow-up troops blocked the engineers with shields~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and their archers moved forward quickly and started shooting towards the city’s head, suppressing the defense. The firepower of the army.

After the stones thrown back and forth, there were arrows flying all over the sky. The soldiers on both sides fell one by one, but the shooting did not stop at all.

The Khergit soldiers along the way also triggered some traps they hadn't touched before. Some people fell into the pit, but most of them passed smoothly and escorted the car to the moat.

There was no water in the moat at this time, and the black sticky bottom looked like a dirty river bed. But even if there is no river water, the width of the river has not been shortened, and the Kujit troops have made extended planks before they lifted them out, preparing to build a bridge that can let the rushing vehicles pass.

The surrounding infantry immediately jumped off the waterless riverbed, intending to walk directly from the bottom of the pit. Although they were adventurous, they had to do so for the smooth construction of the bridge and the easier launching of the offensive.

So hundreds of Khergit's soldiers quickly jumped into the river and moved forward with their shields. But they soon felt that something was wrong. The soil under their feet was too viscous, and there was a strange smell.

Without waiting for them to think about it, the soldiers at the head of the city dropped the torch, and the light of the fire illuminated every inch of land around them in an instant.
