6. Attack on the Chariot (9)

The history of the walls of Azugrana is the history of Castile.

In addition to being a historical, strategically important and cultural site, the peninsular country was also the largest center of shipbuilding and textile industries in Castile. Thanks to the city's large number of cheap workers and government subsidies, the Castilian artisans at its core stubbornly resisted the expansion and monopoly of the foreign chaebols, and thanks to their hard work, the city remained prominent and prosperous, worthy of the name "jewel of the continent".

Taking Azugrana was one of the greatest wishes of many Charlemagne's soldiers, and in addition to economic and political factors, there were also psychological factors in conquering the walls of Azugrana, which had made them suffer enough.

Whenever a war broke out between Castile and Charlemagne, the large-scale offensive and defensive battles between the two sides always revolved around the capture of Ursalia and Azugrana, and each time Charlemagne's would sigh at the unshakable walls after countless corpses under the fortified walls, and then go back in ashes. The city is a symbol of Castile standing still.

Now, it is the turn of the young soldiers of the Wehrmacht to look at the walls of the city that have left traces of countless battles, to ponder the tragic scenes of the past from under the thick layer of moss, and to sigh or two from afar at the ancient stones,

Ancient military buildings stir the sentimental nerves of the elves, who gather in groups and point fingers at the classics of fortifications for more than a thousand years.

The planner of the Azugrana was a brilliant man, and the entire system of walled defenses was built along the edge of the triangle of the city and protruding from the peninsula, protected from the interior to the coast.

The land walls consisted of three stepped lines of defense. The outermost layer is a 30-meter-wide moat, and on the side of the castle there is a breastwall with pheasant moats, about 1.5 meters high. Between it and the city wall, there is a flat land about 20 meters wide, that is, the outer city platform. After the enemy broke through the first line of defense, they had to face the outer wall of the 7.5-meter-high square castle tower built every 55~100 yards, and behind the outer wall was the 20-meter-wide inner castle platform. After that, there is the inner city wall, which is about 12 meters high, and there are square or octagonal towers 20 meters high. They are intertwined with the outer walls and towers, echoing each other.

The enemy army is at the time of the triple wall of Guò. All the way around, it's within range of the defenders' projectile spells and weapons. The difficulty of overcoming these difficulties can be imagined.

"What kind of city is this, it's clearly a fortress. ”

Moving away from the gunner's mirror, Nona took a deep breath.

A few columns of smoke rose from the walls, presumably the defenders were heating up lead and oil. Those things are paired with rolling stone skulls to entertain the besiegers. That's no joke. It was lucky to be scalded to death at the time. If you don't die on the spot, the pus from the burns will also cause you to die of dehydration. If you can't die like this, there are bacterial infections and sepsis to send you on your way. If you don't even have a chance to die. Congratulations, you will spend the rest of your life accompanied by all kinds of incurable physical and psychological pain, and regret why you didn't die in the tormented days.

It was basically a terrorist attack similar to a chemical mass killer in the attack and defense of the city wall.

After comparing the tall and majestic walls of Azugrana with the Siegfried Line under construction in their own homes, the elves came to the following conclusions:

Although the two cannot be compared, this fortification is undoubtedly a masterpiece. The designers of the walls took into account the means available to the besiegers, and planned a system of multiple city defenses that covered each other, each of which could continuously consume the invading enemy and at the same time support each other, plus a number of fortresses scattered outside the city and a second wall in the rear, if the troops and supplies were abundant and the morale was high, the besiegers could only go back and forth from where they went.

Past history has fully confirmed this conclusion, and no weapon can shake the city except for earthquakes and tsunamis before the defense forces.

"But that's just the level of human technology, for us, it's a rotten wooden house, and if you kick the door, the whole house will collapse. ”

A calm laugh rang out from behind, and at the sound of Nona's "Stand up!" command, the Panzers banged their heels and saluted Major Jochen Piper, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Panzergrenadier Regiment.

The major returned the salute and looked at Nona, and said narrowly:

"Especially in front of our indomitable Ensign Nona, the rotten bricks of the Castilian are nothing more than papier-mâché rags!"

Major Piper tried to keep his strings, gesturing with his hands. But the grenadiers and armored men on the position all laughed and bent over, and the exaggerated ones held their stomachs so that their heads almost hit the ground.

The word sounds very good, and it is very suitable for these two who dare to rush and fight, but once it is related to the side of these two excellent commanders who do not obey the orders of their superiors, it is somewhat like a spoof of humor.

When the vanguard appeared on the horizon, General Ramon, the commander of the defense of the Azugrana, was patrolling the city with his small follower, Gonzalez. The general was both excited and nervous by the recent situation, and lost sleep all night after losing contact with the border garrison. When the general, who had become a little nervous, saw a group of ironbox monsters rushing towards Azugrana with a pile of thick and long pipes, he immediately pulled his throat and told the soldiers to close the city gate like a tenor, and did not forget to kick over a frightened four-sided magician under his feet, and personally manipulated all the gorem along the moat to pull up the drawbridge.

The move was so sudden that many people who were waiting to enter the city fell into the river, and two unlucky peasants drowned. But with General Ramon's correct and reckless response, Azugrana was finally spared the humiliating end of being taken by the enemy with a single charge.

It's not Nona's style to stay where she is when you're stopped, and seeing that rushing into Azugrana is no fun, the second lieutenant makes a bold decision - to punch Stillian's face and swell it.

"Attention all crews!Turn 120 degrees and attack the enemy fortress!Leave Azugrana alone, let the cowards of Castile see the difference in strength!!"

"Yes!!"

The morale of the armored soldiers who had been detonated shouted loudly over the radio, and then the enthusiastic female soldiers of the Nona crew played the accordion, and the happy singing echoed on the battlefield:

Apple and pear trees bloom,

A vast mist drifts across the river.

Go out and walk to the bank of the river, Katyusha,

to the high, steep riverbank.

Go out and walk to the bank of the river, Katyusha,

to the high, steep riverbank.

While walking, he sang songs.

Singing the goshawk over the steppe,

Singing about the boy she loved with all her heart,

His letters are treasured.

Singing about the boy she loved with all her heart,

His letters are treasured.

Accompanied by a Rus' song, the Leopard chariot rushed to the fortress that had not yet returned to its senses, and the people on the walls of Azugrana were stunned by the madness, not knowing what to do. (To be continued......)
