The aristocratic coalition army, which had already assembled the siege equipment, began the prelude to the siege.

The polished round stone balls were directly thrown by the long arm of the trebuchet, crossing the graceful curve, and slamming heavily on the city wall, and the scattered stones flew wildly and smashed on the soldiers defending the city, as if they were attacked by a catapult, and they all covered the smashed parts in pain and snorted.

If you hit the vital point, or if you don't have the hands and legs defended by the leather armor, it is simply a fatal blow, and you fall on the city wall on the spot, losing the possibility of continuing the fight, which is equivalent to clearing the field.

The Wayne family has been holding on to Grothenburg for decades, and has accumulated a lot of materials to defend the city.

These trebuchets and ballistas are included, as well as stone projectiles and spears.

These are reserves.

In order to use Grothenburg as the center of resistance after the loss of the Southern Commandery, with the help of the vast Northern Commandery Plain and the advantage of its own cavalry, the troops of the Yinpan Kingdom, which are mainly infantry, will be consumed on this battlefield.

It is like bloodletting, so that the invading forces can only withdraw in disgrace, or even give up the land they have already occupied.

This is the strategic plan of the Lion Principality.

Pity.

and will be declared bankrupt before it can be used.

Because Kant's subordinates, Fatis and Rolf, were threatening those knights and began to attack Masburg, as long as they broke through here, the gateway to the southern county would be opened in front of them.

When the time comes, whether it is kneaded or pinched, it is up to them to decide!

And the southern county leader is still shirking.

The war began.

But it was not the defensive battle against the Silver Plate Kingdom as originally expected.

It's Kant, who didn't take it to heart at all, which is equivalent to being exiled, but he came back with a fightback!

The second son of Grand Duke Cameron, the son of Princess Sophia of the Silver Plate Kingdom, has the second right to inherit the throne, and has already occupied the entire Northern County Territory, and even in the news that came, even the Eastern County Territory occupied a small part of the young man!

The fighting continued at Masburg, with trebuchets and ballistas throwing stone balls in the whistling air.

A terrifying tremor resounded through the sky.

But it can't be helped.

The people of Masburg are still struggling to hold on.

Castles that took decades to build, although not top-notch castles, still have good defensive effects.

The most important thing is that after these trebuchets and ballistas bombarded wildly, although the city wall collapsed a little, the main body still stood tall, and the casualties of those soldiers were also controlled within 200, which was not considered a broken nerve.

According to conventional tactics, if you want to capture this castle, you will have to pay at least thousands of casualties.

But Fatis and Rolf were not prepared to do so.

Too many casualties can affect the morale of the troops.

Now the aristocratic coalition that is coerced and lured by them cannot withstand the setback.

On the contrary, they need a very painful victory, and the victory for Musburg is the most crucial goal.

Therefore, they issued an absolute order, requiring the Wayne family to disassemble all siege weapons here, and let those infantry throw stone balls at the city wall and bombard the main body of the city wall day and night.

This is also very effective.

With each impact, the walls creaked and cracks appeared on the surface.

The walls of Masburg could not hold up for too long, after all, the walls of Masburg were built with a layer of stones on the outside, broken stones and earth on the inside, and a layer of stones on the outside, which seemed to be solid.

If a section of the wall is blown open, then the main part of the wall will collapse completely.

And now.

The section of the city wall that was deliberately bombarded with concentrated fire was really about to hold up to the extreme.

After a morning of bombardment, by about 3 p.m., the walls were covered with large and small pits, and the entire city wall was recessed inwards in a visible appearance, and even cracks appeared on the walls.

On this wall, there were no more soldiers left, and they did not dare to stay here any longer.

Even the entire city wall defense has been abandoned.

The main body of the castle in the rear has been defended by arranging more soldiers.

The castle is the most important defense system, the city wall is only an external obstacle to delay the enemy's attack, and when the city wall is lost, the enemy's siege equipment and morale will also be consumed to a certain extent, and it will be easier to defend the castle at that time.

At least in the castle defense, it is much safer than the city walls!

"Boom-"

Finally, under the incessant bombardment of trebuchets, the wall finally collapsed.

Smoke and dust suddenly overflowed, a large amount of rubble and earth tumbled down, and the soldiers on the surrounding walls and towers, as if they had received some orders, quickly assembled and appeared behind and on both sides of the collapsed city walls.

Next, it's time to start a battle around the collapsed city wall!

It's also a good time to fight the siegers.

At the time of the siege.

It is not that the collapse of the wall means that the castle has fallen.

The collapse of the city wall is only a small section, and the width is not even 5 meters, but it is precisely this 5 meters of width, the rear will always be garrisoned troops, and if you want to attack, you can only beat this place into a flesh and blood millstone!

This is the battlefield where life is consumed, and it is the main position where defenders can consume the morale of attackers.

The attacker often has a decisive mentality.

This mentality manifests itself when climbing the city walls or attacking the city gates directly.

Once it is consumed, then the overall morale will drop, unlike the defenders who can recover as long as they boost their morale, the longer it drags on, the greater the advantage of the defenders, especially when they can all retreat to the main body of the castle to wait for reinforcements.

In feudal times, it was inconceivable to attack a castle that was completely blockaded and had food and drinking water reserves, and there were even recorded cases where it could not be attacked for months of defense.

And in the case of such a Western feudal lord, a tough battle that lasted for several months was enough to be considered long!

"Attack!"

Rolf swung his sword forward.

Right behind him, groups of aristocratic coalition infantry began to charge.

Spear-armed men, they approached the crumbling walls as they approached, but the oncoming rain of arrows poured down quickly, and swaths of the aristocratic infantry fell to the ground, but more people rushed straight inside.

Just now, a force of 10,000 people has completely launched a general attack!

Don't care about casualties at all!

Even on the inside of the city walls, Viscount Kevin's eyes on the main body of the castle were about to pop out.

Originally, his arrangement was to prevent the enemy from tentatively attacking.

But now.

Directly is the general attack.

Those tens of thousands of people poured over together, and it was like a tide.

Regardless of the crossbowmen at the top of the city wall and the ballista bombardment from the towers, the dead and wounded were everywhere, but it was like a drop of spray in the sea, and more infantry frantically poured inside.

And in the collapse of the city walls, they are completely in a mess!
