"Fight the fire! Fight the fire!"

Countless rockets almost obscure the sky, making the sky look like daylight, very spectacular. The rain of arrows drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell into Sorrenburg, either hitting the soldiers who could not dodge, or lighting the wooden buildings in the city.

After the rocket hit the wooden building in the city, it quickly caused a raging fire. The stables built behind the city wall are the most dangerous place. After sparks fell into the piled straw inside, it directly started to burn. The flames caused the horses trapped inside to panic, neighing, and struggling violently, trying to get rid of it. The horse rope that bound him escaped here.

For a time, the screams of war horses and the shouts of people flooded Solenburg, and the entire castle suddenly fell into chaos.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

On the wall, a hapless guy shot by a rocket screamed and ran on the wall. The rocket ignited the leather armor on his body, making him almost a fireman. The severe pain made him unbearable and could only be on the wall. He ran up to seek help from his comrades, but the surrounding soldiers were afraid of the flames on his body and did not dare to go up. In the end, the poor soldier fell while running and could not get up again.

boom--

A deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the Ravana’s rocket salvo. Everyone looked for their reputation and saw that the tower of the city wall had been plunged into a sea of ​​flames. The surrounding soldiers were all on fire, screaming and screaming indiscriminately. Several soldiers couldn't bear the severe pain and jumped directly from the towering city wall, and fell to death on the spot.

This was just an accident. The Ravana’s rocket just passed through the shooting port of the tower and then penetrated the clay pot filled with flammable asphalt. Under the action of the rocket, the clay pot inside exploded. The flame instantly swallowed everything around.

"Archer! Where's our archer! Fight back! Fight back!"

Braving the rockets passing by from time to time, the officer on the wall shouted loudly. Those archers who were shivering under the wall got up and prepared to fight back, but just as they got up, an arrow hit his front door. , The flame licked the flesh and blood near the wound, and a faint smell of barbecue quickly filled the surrounding air.

The tragic death of their companions made other archers afraid to move, and they hid under a safe wall to pray that the enemy's attack would end soon. Perhaps their prayers were helped by the gods, and the Ravana archers outside the city soon stopped. Shooting, one by one stood there with their arms down, breathing heavily-the continuous shooting exhausted their physical strength, and they were no longer able to bend their bows and shoot.

And on the city wall, no, in Sorrenburg, the raging fire caused by the Ravana’s rockets could not be extinguished for a while, buckets of water originally used for drinking were thrown into the flames, and the water reserves of the defenders were greatly reduced. This was Richard's purpose. He used rockets to ignite the buildings in the city, forcing the defenders to use precious water resources to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, their storage of water was almost the same.

The fire in the city blazed into the sky, everything shining like daylight, Richard did not continue to watch, he gave an order, and his corporal soldiers immediately launched an offensive formation. They were replaced and replaced by crossbow-armed militias equipped with crossbow machines. These militiamen fired deadly crossbow bolts at the enemy on the wall under the call of the officers to cover the advancing siege troops.

Although knowing that Sorenburg still cannot be captured this time, Richard still wants to give it a try.

...

"How many people have we lost."

During the day, looking at the dead soldiers lying on the battlefield, Richard asked indifferently in German.

"Your Majesty Caesar, we have lost a hundred and twenty-nine people, but they are all soldiers from Mabuku." Kondela replied in a low voice. Although the soldiers who died in the battle were not soldiers from Kuban, it was Richard in the end. Fighting for Germany.

"Let's let someone go and recover their bodies. This will be the last war dead. After this, we just have to wait for the Sorenburg garrison to surrender." Richard said again.

"I hope yesterday's fire can greatly deplete the water in the city, otherwise what we can do will be useless."

"Wait." Richard sneered, and then ordered: "Let the soldiers be more vigilant and don't let the defenders have a chance to go to the river to fetch water."

"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar."

As Richard predicted at the beginning, a fire attack almost depleted the water reserves in Solenburg. The water that could last longer was used to extinguish the fire, but now there are only a few days left. quantity. In a few days, the defenders will fall into a terrible situation of lack of water. If this crisis is not resolved as soon as possible, they will only have to surrender or die of thirst.

As Mr. Bei, who stands at the top of the food chain, said, a person can not eat for more than a week, but he cannot drink water for more than three days. Water is the most important resource that supports the survival of human beings. Once they leave the water, there is only one dead end for human beings.

Of course, if the lord of Sorrenburg was cruel and allowed the soldiers to survive by drinking their own urine, the castle would still be able to hold on, but I don’t know if his soldiers will loyally obey him at that time. After all, no one would want to drink his own urine unless it was the last moment.

A few days later, the defenders of Solenburg still did not surrender ~www.novelmt.com~ but reinforcements from Kuban Island had arrived.

This is an army of 1930 people. As mentioned in the previous article, this army includes three teams of Nordic swordsmen, five teams of sword spear militia, three teams of walking Nordic Tomahawk cavalry, one team of Nordic axe soldiers, and three teams. The Nordic archers, two crossbowmen, four scout cavalry, three Nordic Tomahawk cavalry, have the main force of the mid-term of the Kingdom of Denmark, among them, the Nordic axe soldiers can be said to be the same as their relatives in the Varangian Guards of the Eastern Empire (only However, in the game, the Nordic Guards can't beat the Varangi Guards heads-up).

The addition of the seven cavalry 420 cavalry units also strengthened Richard's cavalry strength, especially the four scout cavalry units, just like his name, are the best candidates to send out to spy on the military. Although the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry is not as powerful as the heavy cavalry, it is also a very good choice to let them follow the feudal knights to slash into the torn enemy infantry line of defense.

This is a powerful boost. With the participation of the Danish army, Richard’s army has grown from more than 4,000 to nearly 6,000. The barracks surrounding Sauronburg have many more tents. Look at the city wall. The defenders were frightened.

The lack of water and the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements caused the morale of the defenders in the city to gradually depressed. A mood called despair took root in the hearts of the soldiers and would soon emerge.
