Chapter Five: Siege (5)

"Ha, it's still cool with the stone. Don't stare at me, boy, if you have spare time, help chant the scriptures together, and pray that you will hit the shots.

"Reciting the scriptures is nothing. If you feel that the movement is small, I can now find the priest-the waiter to come and help." When he said this, the two of Raymond and Angli appeared in his mind. With a fat face, his mood suddenly got worse:

"The problem is, praying doesn't always work. Uncle Paul, can't we go down the wall and rush up to hack them to death one by one?"

"Do you think I don't want to?" The veteran shook his head, and the chainmail rattled for a while following this movement:

"The problem is, this can't be done. First, we have a shortage of manpower, and the second is a lack of...it's a lack of armor. If we really fall to the ground and take the initiative to attack the mercenaries, we will only do two or two. I have to be rushed back. Is there anything else? Tell me if there is anything, then observe the enemy's situation when there is nothing, I have to pick a sniper."

Now that it was at this point, little Albert could not force the veteran to stay even if he was reluctant.He had planned to say "goodbye" and graciously send people away, but the abnormality in the observation hole caused the cold hair on his back to stand up immediately."Uncle Paul." The Lu Meng family boy directly grabbed the veteran's arm, and said very hard:

"Look, look! Look at the serfs, the conscripts!"

Little Albert saw that dozens of serfs gathered around the west exit of the siege camp, shouting like a carnival.There were three big pots of stew next to them, white steam huffing up, and two sergeants in cloth visors, the one on the left holding a swollen leather purse, the one on the right holding a large pile Gold and silver coins, the brilliant reflection almost dazzles the eyes.

The distance is too far, little Albert can't hear their conversation.But one thing is certain, that group of ragged conscripts have been extremely excited by food and money.After the sergeant finished speaking, the serfs immediately divided into two groups. One group rushed toward the stew like a hungry wolf, and the other group ran towards a four-wheeled cart full of ladders and unloading?

The chill was comparable to ice, and it gripped Albert's stomach."What do they want to do? The ladders are all moved out, Uncle Paul, what are they doing?"

"What are you going to do? Don't ask for money!" The veteran put his helmet on the shield, just glanced at it and quickly made a judgment:

"When they have enough food and drink, they will set up a ladder to attack the village. Boy, find a place to hide, I am afraid I have no time to take care of you. Brothers! Brothers! Fire guns reload, crossbows, and long swords. Out of the sheath, the pirate boy is coming to die!!!"

Inside and outside the wall, immediately began to get busy.Not only that, but the veteran rang the bell to send a warning to the handyman behind him.After hearing the movement, the middle-aged villagers who had been hiding in the house immediately ran to the cobblestone road in a panic. Some were carrying buckets of water, and others were holding shovel and hoe, just as they were pre-rehearsed, ready to prepare for the fire. .

They did not make a trip in vain.When the Dongzhai Gate was in chaos inside and outside, twenty British-German Longbowmen suddenly dropped the Juma picket and advanced a full 100 steps forward.These people stopped behind the shield and regarded this as a new position. Then, under the urging of the Bronze Horn, they began to prepare the fire in an orderly manner:

First wrap the arrowhead with linoleum, and then use the fire sickle to "pop" light it.After the flames burned up, the heavy rocket was put on the bow and shot towards the planning village at a great angle.This time, their leader did not shout "Loose!", each longbowman shot at his own pace, carefully aiming before letting go.

After this operation, their accuracy has not dropped, but has been greatly improved.The crackling and burning arrows, like droplets sprayed by the devil, were densely dropped everywhere; bright yellow fires fell everywhere in trenches, walled walls, gates, and residential areas, releasing a strong smell of sulfur.

In front of the Rockets, the bluffers in the trench were the most flustered.Each of them carried more than ten rounds of ammunition and a whole pot of primers contained in the horns. Once they were ignited by the rocket, their bodies would be instantly scorched, and no cure would come back.In addition, there are litter pots and barrels of spare gunpowder scattered in the trenches. Anything that is lit can instantly turn the fortification into a sea of ​​flames.

To prevent disasters, they not only covered the gunpowder kegs and tinder pots with wet tarp, but also sent half of their hands out, holding shields and wooden boards, running back and forth in the trenches, actively responding to the flying rockets.After their efforts, the moat was finally okay, but the horse-rejecting picket in front of the breast wall was no longer a concern.The firecrackers could only watch the flames rise and burn all the obstacles they had put up so hard.

The arrow shield on the top of the wall was also lit on several sides.However, they were immediately pushed under the wall, and there was no chance of spreading the fire.The gap between the castellations was temporarily blocked by spare shields. Regardless of the shape of these iron-edge wooden shields, they were wet with water, urine, wine, and vinegar, and some were covered with bloody sheepskin. No matter how strong the rocket was, , It will go out after being tied up.

The deployment of the shield and shield is done by Uncle Paul.The veteran put his fear completely behind his head, holding the scary mace in his hand, running back and forth on the stone wall, with courage comparable to the hero in the song.Longbowmen saw him as a thorn in the eye, and shot at him from time to time, and even made direct hits twice:

The first target to be found was a rocket. The arrow wrapped in linoleum was unable to break the defense, but left a string of jumping flames on the surface of the armor; the second was an armor-piercing arrow with a dark black arrowhead and a long cone. "Bang" wiped across the helmet cover, setting off a large yellow spark.

After being bounced by the helmet, the armor-piercing arrow first hit the battlement, then jumped in front of Albert, almost piercing his finger.Although Yu Jian had no strength, the youngest son of Lu Meng's family was still so shocked that he did not dare to move."This is--" His lips tremble constantly, and his tongue loses control. There is no relationship between what he thinks and what he says:

"This is—what about—isn’t they the rockets they fired? Why do they do this suddenly, how do they do this suddenly—"

"You can shoot at will. Of course, you can shoot any arrow you want." The veteran put the crooked helmet back on, and while tying a shield on his left arm, he gently persuaded:
