Section 67 Siege and Battle

When the first whirlwind hit the guards on the wall, everyone no longer looked down upon the fresh weapon. Duke Mason's position gave various cheers, and the guards on the walls of Göttingenburg were ashamed. They were at a loss in the face of this unknown weapon, and even the adjutant felt very difficult.

"Ten cyclone cannons load, listen to my order, let it go~~~" Arod ordered the servants to load all ten cyclone cannons. Under his unified order, ten cyclone cannons fired at the same time, and ten stones hit the city wall. The most powerful piece smashed the battlements and the stones splashed into the defense soldiers. The soldiers had no armor guards' faces and skins flowed out blood. Some stones hit the soldiers directly, causing the people who were hit to be injured, and what made the defenders of Göttingen Castle even more unbearable was that the cyclone cannon fire very fast, and the ten cyclone cannons could constantly throw stones into the city. Not only were the people on the city walls going to be attacked, but even houses close to the city walls were hit. The civilians living inside made a scream, filling the fear of city breaking and death throughout the castle.

"Earl Ulris, be careful." Earl Ulrisy climbed the city wall with the help of his subordinates. He held the tail of the cloak behind him with one hand and grabbed the soldier's arm with the other. At this moment, the adjutant saw Earl Ulrisy and quickly warned, and saw a stone shell passing over their heads and smashing into the archers under the city. Although it did not hit anyone, the archers showed a look of fear on their faces.

"Offer the door of the house." Earl Ulrisey is worthy of being a nobleman who is good at defending. He immediately ordered the civilians in the city to remove the wooden doors of his home and use these gates to block the battlements of the city walls, minimizing the damage of stone fragments splashed when the stone shells hit the city wall.

"The archers fought back and shot those pigs from the arrow tower." The archers desperately shot arrows at the cyclone cannon from the arrow tower. Although there was shields in front of the cyclone cannon, occasionally the arrows would pass through the gap and shoot into the servants.

"Get back, who dares to escape, I will kill him." Seeing some servants turning their heads and running towards the position behind because they were afraid of arrows, Yifu saw this scene holding the sword angrily and drove these servants who were trying to escape back to their posts.

"The hitting force is thrown in the direction of the arrow tower." Arod used his sword to command the servants and threw stone shells in the direction of the arrow tower. The stones flew towards the arrow tower like locusts. Although the arrow tower in Göttingenburg was built of stone, its top was built of wood. Under the attack of a stone shell, a large hole was smashed on the top of the arrow tower. The broken wood fell down and hit the archer inside. Dust immediately filled the entire arrow tower.

"Damn it, God." Earl Ulrisey saw the hit arrow tower, and he held his forehead and cursed in anger. However, the destructive power of the arrows of the castle archers is far less powerful than that of the whirlwind cannon. This was the first time in his life that he was passively beaten in the castle.

"Is there no way to deal with such things?" The adjutant was sweating profusely. When he was just lowering his head, a stone shell hit a soldier behind him. The soldier's head was hit, half of his head was cut off, and blood and brain matter splattered on him.

"This ghost thing seems to be the trencher purchased by King Conrad from Byzantium." Earl Ulrisey followed the bird catcher Henry to participate in the war with King Conrad, so he was quite impressed with the trencher used in the castle in the Saxony Duke. Earl Ulrisey was still very young at that time, but also knew that this trencher was one of the secret weapons of the Byzantine Empire, so he only sold a finished product to King Conrad. If it weren't for the knights led by Henry, the bird catcher at that time, forcibly breaking through the enemy's defense and burning the trencher from the side, it's hard to say who the ruler of the empire is today. Thinking of this, Count Ulrisey patted his head.

"What's wrong with the Count?" the adjutant asked quickly.

"I understand. We should send knights to attack these catapults from the side like His Majesty. You must know that these catapults should not be able to move at will." Earl Ulris said to the adjutant with certainty.

"Okay, I will organize the knights immediately to kill these damn ghosts." Hearing the clear order from Count Ulrisey, the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it felt really uncomfortable to be beaten in the castle. The opponent's stone caster had nearly endless stone shells, and the arrows on his own could not reach them at all. As a knight, the adjutant would rather charge on a war horse.

"The time for the knights to be loyal to Lord Urrissi has come." The adjutant wore an iron helmet and chain mail. His shirt represented the glory of the family. He rode on the war horse and pulled out his sharp sword. Ten equally armed knights were surrounded by them. However, the knights held spears in their hands. These spears helped the knights concentrate all their strength on the tip of the spear in the high-speed charge and break through the opponent in front of them.

"Oh oh~~~." The knights raised their spears and made a battle cry, which almost covered the voices of the wailing soldiers on the city wall. Yes, although the soldiers holding the spears were beaten up by the inexplicable weapons of the Masons, the Saxon Knights were elite warriors. They were not afraid of any enemy's conspiracy and tricks, and with this kind of pride, the Saxon Knights concentrated at the gate under the leadership of the adjutant.

"Crack, creak." The iron gate of Göttingenburg was slowly rising under the twisted hinges of the ten soldiers above. The noble knights in Duke Mason's camp saw that the gate that had been closed since the war began actually rose. This abnormality made them all stir.

"The Arod Saxons sent people to raid our whirlwind cannon." If looked at the gradually rising iron gate, and became nervous, he turned his head and shouted to the commander Arou.

"I saw it, load and stop the attack for the time being." Aruod raised his arm and waved his hand to the whirlwind guns. After firing dozens of shells in succession, these whirlwind guns were already very skilled in operating this weapon. They took this opportunity to take a breath and take a break.

"Grachi~~~." When the gate rose to the top, a war cry came from the gate, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. A group of knights wearing chain mail shirts and holding spears desperately used the golden spurs on their feet to activate the war horses under their crotch and emerged from the castle.

"It's the Saxon Knight, be wary, be wary." Ifu immediately became nervous when he saw the spear-holding knights rushing out of the castle. Most of their men were spear-holding infantry, and they were not the opponents of heavy knights charging. He immediately asked his armed servants to shrink their formation with spears and set up formations at both ends of the whirlwind cannon. At this time, he felt the roars and powerful force of the knights, and the servants who operated the whirlwind cannon became uneasy.

"Can't the cyclone that bullies me turn?" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Arod's mouth. It seemed that some people in the castle still had some understanding of the stone casting equipment. Generally, it is difficult to turn and move after installation. They can only face the position directly in front. Perhaps the commanders in the castle think that the same is true for their cyclone cannons, but what they didn't know was the invention of the cyclone cannon, which was to solve the problem of the bulky and inflexible catapults.

"Boom~~~." Dozens of Saxon Knights tightened their war horses under their crotch, then lined up to expand their assault surface as possible. The location of the city gate was originally in the northeast of the whirlwind cannon. At this time, they controlled the war horses under their crotch to adjust their position from the side of the whirlwind cannon, and then began to charge. Just the sound of dozens of war horses pedaling like thunder. The knights wearing chain mail glared in front of them, and the spear in their hands was tightly clenched for the best time to get out the spear. The sharp spear tip was eager for the enemy's blood.

"The whirlwind cannon turns to the direction of the knights and launches." Aruod admired the courage of the knights to face the enemy, but admired him. If you don't die on the battlefield, you will live, it depends on who is better at it.

"Crash~~~." The servants turned the support shaft on the soaring pillar for a while, and immediately moved the cyclone cannon to the west, aiming the direction of the Piso at the direction where the knights were. The cyclone cannon flexibly changed directions, which took less than ten seconds.

"Flash~~~." Aruod looked at the approaching knights. He roared with great roar and waved the sword in his hand down fiercely. The servants quickly pulled the skeleton, and the stone shells loaded at one end flew out immediately and smashed them towards the formation of the knights. Ten stone shells hit the knights in a row at the same time. Suddenly, people were overturned and war horses neighed. The heavy cavalry targeted the low-key infantry on the horse. Whether it was hitting the war horse or the knights on the horse, it was a result.

"..." Looking at dozens of powerful Saxon Knights, wearing strong armor and holding sharp spears, they were just arrogant, but were hit by the whirlwind shells, and a strange silence appeared on the battlefield. People opened their mouths and wide eyes to look at the scene in front of them.

"What are you still standing there? Kill those Saxon knights quickly." Aruod swallowed. Even the initiator was nervous. He saw the hit knights being shot down and off the horse, but they were not dead. The knights were dizzy and wanted to stand up and grab the uneasy war horses jumping beside them. The knights who were not hit tried to control the war horses and avoid their hit companions.
