Section 83 Defense Weapons

In the circle, a Slavic militiaman from Rostock County was wearing a pointed felt hat and holding a rusty spear in his hand. The spear body of the spear was slightly bent, but as a soldier on the bottom, this was enough. His face was filled with the confusion and concern of the future of the middle-aged man. He grabbed his chest with his free hands from time to time while walking. Perhaps there was a talisman given to him by his family to pray for the protection of the gods of Lomwa. But these were just one kind

It is speculated that because the circle then shifts to other directions, but just like in the process of learning, the human brain often forgets what the subjective will wants to remember, but inadvertently some things will be remembered by the brain. The circle once again moves to the signs under the white lime paintings where there are signs, but because of the remaining foundations of the demolished building of the castle, the signs are not so eye-catching.

"One hundred and fifty yards, one hundred yards~~~." Arod held up the single-hole telescope in his hand. This tool that was strictly kept secret is only known by Julian and a few other court officials. The single-hole telescope is used to accurately measure the enemy is within the range of the whirlwind cannon strike, and the white-brushed sign was learned from the Movie Heaven Dynasty. It can be said that this is a movie that Arod admires very much.

"Wow~~~~." Outside the castle, the Slavs shouted, carried the ladder to charge up the hills, and shouted, a way for people to release pressure in fear, but the shouts of hundreds of people could also deter the enemy. The only thing that made these people forced to go to the battlefield felt lucky was that no arrows were shot out from the towering towers of the hills.

"Tornado, fire~~~." Aruod put down the telescope in his hand. He licked his dry lips, turned his head and shouted to the little servant standing at the entrance of the corner tower. Hearing his voice, the little servant hurriedly stepped onto the stone steps and conveyed Aruod's orders.

"Buzz, buzz~~~~." The sound of stones breaking through the sky sounded from the castle. The idle servants and slave soldiers in the castle were pulled by the idlers and fifteen cyclone cannons lined up in three rows. This small projector reduced the number of people pulling the Piso. Although the projection distance was reduced, it expanded the range of attack. Under the command of Arod, the wooden cyclone cannon was raised high, throwing the stones in the skin out of the city wall, and the screams of the Slavs sounded outside the city wall, as well as the sound of stones hitting the ground and rolling down the hillside.

The stones all over the sky hit the Rostock people like raindrops, forcing them to slowly climb towards the castle with a large shield. When they were exposed, they would be hit by stones. The shield was made of heavy and strong fir or oak, and held such a heavy object to climb the hillside. It was extremely exhausting for the soldiers' physical strength. Even the medieval people who often did physical work could not bear it, not to mention that many soldiers at the bottom were even more insufficiency due to malnutrition.

"My arms are so sore that I can't stand it anymore." The Slavic soldiers had to put on their heads with shields, but soon they could not even do this. They were still a distance away from the castle. Some people felt that the people on the castle could not see their movements clearly, and secretly put down their shields and rubbed their shoulders. However, their movements were clearly and unobstructed by Aruod, who was holding a telescope. When one-third of the soldiers began to do this, Aruod knew that the time had come.

"Order the long-range shooters to start shooting." Arod ordered the young servant in charge of the command. The servant in charge of the command selected a young man who was good at running. He immediately conveyed Arod's order to Julian on the wall. In the process, the Rostock pushed forward another fifty yards, but this was in Arod's calculation.

"Swoosh~~~." When the first arrow was shot, the arrow accurately penetrated the face of a Slavic spear-holder soldier. The red blood spurted on the face and body of the surrounding companions in a gush-like manner. They were stunned by the sudden arrow, but soon the locust-like arrows and crossbow arrows shot at them. At this time, the attacking leaders of Rostock discovered that they were crowded on the narrow mountain road, and the archers and crossbow archers on the arrow tower had almost no need to aim.

"Roar, rush over, and put the ladder up." The Rostock leaders wore leather armor and waved swords in their hands to push the soldiers around them forward. Those who retreated would be beaten and kicked. Of course, these leaders were all guarding the tight protection of the shields. Under the command of the Rostock leaders, the soldiers with life-like grass-roots soldiers, carrying the rough ladder made of cut trees, rushed under the castle walls. Whenever someone was knocked down by arrows along the way, the people behind would be replaced, and the number of people would be used to make up for the disadvantages of geographical and formality.

"Get on, get on, do it well." The first ladder was leaned against the southwest section of the castle wall. The leaders of Rostock shouted excitedly when they saw the ladder they had put on. As long as they set up the ladder, the soldiers could climb up the towering city wall in turn and fight with the guards on the city wall. Even if they could not conquer the castle at once, it would be better than being shot like an animal under the city.

"Climb up, hurry up, climb up." The Rostock soldiers squeezed under the ladder. They were pushed up the ladder in a daze like livestock driven into the corral. The soldiers held the shield in one hand and held the ladder with the other hand. A strong Slavic serf quickly climbed to two meters away from the city wall. He raised his head and looked at the wall that was within reach and took a breath. At this moment, he heard a buzzing sound in his ear. Before he could turn his head, he felt his head paused, and his eyes were pitch black.

The man below the soldier saw everything, but his eyes were quickly applied to his face with red and white brains, and there seemed to be a fishy smell on the corners of his mouth. A stick-shaped shaft was stick-shaped on the battlements of the city wall, and three pieces of iron rods connected by hinges were installed on the wheel axle. When the person on the city wall turned the crankshaft, the iron rod quickly rotated, and this weapon was similar to a small cart, which could move back and forth on this section of the city wall. If the attacker with a head was hit by a heavy iron rod, his brain burst and his body fell down the ladder. Even if he blocked it with a shield, he would be hit, causing the attacker to fall unstable and fall.

"Damn Germans." Looking at the rapidly rotating thing above the head, the Rostock leaders were stunned and cursing. They couldn't think of what kind of person would come up with such a strange city-defense weapon, but it also made their soldiers unable to take a step upward. In such a narrow space in the air, it was impossible to avoid the incoming high-speed spinning sticks.

"How is the offense elsewhere?" asked one of the more flexible leaders.

"Yes, if we can't move forward here, we'll have the soldiers attacking other walls."

The Rostocks, whose southwest city wall was blocked, immediately adjusted the center of gravity of the attack. At this time, other ladders were also placed on other city walls. The leaders thought it was the most suitable direction for attack in the position near the rear of the city gate. Once again, the soldiers braved the arrows and stones above their heads, held their shields and moved to the bottom of the ladder. The first brave soldier climbed up the ladder. He used his shield to protect his head above. In order to ensure that he would not shoot down, he even bit his mouth with a short knife, followed by other Slavic soldiers.

The leaders of Rostock looked at the brave soldier climbing up step by step on the ladder with fear. When they were about to reach the battlements of the city wall, a black shadow suddenly flew out from behind the city wall. The leaders of the black shadow were sank. They saw a thick wooden board full of nails. The three-meter-long wooden board was connected by iron hinges. The wooden board that was tightly pulled by two German peasants hit the head of the Slavs on the ladder without warning. After stabbing the Slav soldier who was the first to climb the ladder and fell down with blood, the board was then put down and retreated like peeling corn. Some soldiers who tried to push the board away with their hands pierced their palms by the sharp iron nails on it. The Slav soldier screamed and fell down.

"A simple version of wolf teeth, damn Rostock people, try it." Aruod used a telescope to see the falling Slavic soldiers, and proudly showed a cruel smile. This wolf teeth shot was seen on a map of the Song Dynasty when he was in school. It was very simple to make and has strong lethality against soldiers climbing up with ladders.

"How are the people attacking in other directions?" The pale-faced leader looked at the wolf teeth that were being pulled up again. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing could be pulled back. Soon he heard screams and falling sounds from other sections of the city walls, and also thick smoke.

A long pole was tied vertically at 49 degrees, but the board was not the point. The people below seemed to be just to block the smoke from rushing upwards. The lower end of the pole was tied with many linens soaked with oil, feces and poison. After the linen was ignited, it emitted a strong odor and a violent cough caused by inhalation into the lungs. The thick smoke lit up on the city wall made the attacking Slavs choke and couldn't continue climbing. The brainless leaders of Rostock could not think of how Arod came up with such a trick.
