Under the Tower of David, the battering ram was finally smashed and burned, paralyzed in place and unable to move again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But the siege towers of the pilgrims also rumbled and pushed, Duke Godfrey himself stood at the bottom with his sword, the second level was Count Warner and Count Hartmann, and Baldwin himself led the rest of the men to push the siege tower towards the top of the city.

The defenders were frightened, and they realized that the rain of arrows from their bowstrings could not hurt the siege tower, which was protected by branches in front of it, and the siege tower began to approach without stopping, even if it was shot up and down like a porcupine.

"Get out of here!" Under the siege tower, an exasperated Baldwin pushed Joselan, who had come to join the army, away, "Don't come near my brother in the slightest. ”

Holding a shield in one hand, Joselan, who was about to help push the tower, was pushed several feet, then he smiled flatteringly, raised his hands to show that there would be no conflict, and left Baldwin, who was glaring at him.

At this time, the long planks sticking out of the bottom of the siege tower just filled the moat and the river, and Baldwin bravely raised his shield and led many people to step on the plank, rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and began to turn his hand and pull the rumbling siege tower, so that it could get close to the city.

At this time, the supreme commander of the entire Holy City, who was also from the Seljuk royal family, Sokhman. Ibn . Armed with a golden helmet and bright feathers, Artuk stood beside the fierce battle with his sword, and with his loud encouragement, the defenders erected five improvised stone throwers at the back of the tower in a short time, and began to smash the flaming jars on the siege tower, and for a time fireworks and smoke flew everywhere, surrounding the top floor of the tower.

"Brother!" Baldwin tilted his head and looked at the top of the tower in horror and concern, but the burning oil and coal dust kept falling, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.

"Woohoo." Anna's eyebrows were locked, Gawain began to counterattack, he stretched his waist out, and stuffed the huge fiery spear tip into Anna's throat, only to see her cheeks keep rolling, Gawain wanted to make the wet and warm feeling go straight to the root, Anna's tears were about to flow out, she couldn't help but be ruthless, and gently bit down.

Gawain screamed and hurriedly withdrew his spear, while Anna clutched her chest and breathed violently with her head down, almost suffocating to death. Then, Anna angrily scolded the big brute, and Gawain also felt that she had gone too far, but Anna quickly regained her tenderness, she pinched the hoop of the belt just now, and took the tip of the spear in her mouth again and swallowed it hard.

It's almost a sprint......

On the edge of the pheasant trench in front of the siege tower, in addition to the non-stop projectile stones, around Sokhman, many Turkic elite soldiers and strong generals stood there bravely, all of them were mercenaries and volunteers who rushed here from Syria, the Dead Sea and even Khorasan and other places, erected more than a dozen light ballistas that could fire stone pellets, and began to fire at the siege tower in front of them.

Prince Sockman saw a statue of Jesus at the top of the siege tower surrounded by smoke and fire, and a gilded cross was erected, the spiritual flag of all pilgrims, "Destroy this false and ugly idol for me!" ”

In a chorus of shouts, a stone pellet swept through the raging fire and smoke, penetrated through the guards, smashed into the top space of the siege tower, and flew around in the dense crowd of warriors, causing terrifying damage, and one of Godfrey's knights was immediately hit by the stone pellet, his head shattered and fell at the duke's feet, and he swallowed, blood and brains splashed all over the duke's armor.

Everywhere there was the sound of people overturning, and some people began to let out a desperate wail, and if they continued like this, they would either be burned alive or stoned to death. "Don't panic." Duke Godfrey shouted calmly, and he instructed the brave warriors, some to put out the fire and hang the leather, and others to "take all the crossbows, gather them at my side, and shoot them out at my command!" ”

At the duke's command, everyone quickly calmed down, and many of the heavily armored sergeants rushed to the front of the siege tower, and the bundles of branches that hung from it cut by daggers and swords fell one after another with burning fire, and no longer burned the siege tower itself, and the rest hung on the tower with a push rod carrying the smooth leather, and the two counts on the lower level followed suit—so that the fire pots that the defenders had shot and smashed could no longer burn, and they tumbled feebly when they encountered the leather.

"Open the guard." With Godfrey's shout, the siege tower's guard was smashed down, and with a burst of ash, it landed on the Pheasant Pier of the Tower of David.

Sockman and Godfrey, the two groups of soldiers looked at each other only a few dozen feet apart, "Get on the noose." Sockman waved his hand and shouted impatiently to the people around him who were operating the catapults and ballista.

"Shoot!" Godfrey took the lead, and the twenty or so sergeants beside him fired the crossbow with great speed, aiming at the enemy next to the catapult and ballista.

"Puff puff", the crossbow bolts pierced through the armor and flesh and the sound was incessant, and the people next to Sockman were shot many in an instant, and they fell down in a wail.

Sockman himself was shot in the wrist, and his grin was saved by his companions.

"Prepare to attack." Godfrey drew his sword and shouted with all his might, and then a piercing pain made him instantly dizzy, and he almost fell off the siege tower...... Damn, could it be an old wound? Before leaving, Granay specially told him not to spend too much energy on the battlefield, let alone be overly excited, and to take care of his wounds, so that he could slowly recover his health.

"But how is it possible for me, Lady Grana, that my lord's city is ahead, and even if I die tomorrow, I will restore it with my own hands today." Godfrey gasped, holding the hilt of his sword in one hand to support himself, and the pheasant moat and tower in front of him were spinning and spinning. The Frankish warriors around them began to put on their turbans, fold their shields, draw their swords and raise their axes, shouting praises to the Lord and Heaven, and ready to leap out to fight. The two lower counts also climbed up with elite warriors, ready to act as backups. This will make the trebuchet no longer able to damage the tower, as the tower has already entered the blind zone of their range, and the stones thrown will fly to the rear of the tower by grazing the sides of the tower, and some will even fall and kill the defenders themselves.

After this excellent opportunity, the pilgrim warriors at the top were quick to exclaim—for after the Pheasant of the Tower of David, a large number of Saracens had carried a huge object on the noose of the stone thrower.

And this huge object is actually a large trunk that has been hollowed out......

"Anna, my Anna." Over there, Gawain had already hunched his waist and couldn't hold on.

"Huh? Well? Well? Anna replied with a mischievous wink of her eyes, meaning what Gawain was calling her for. (To be continued.) )
