Chapter 353 Battlefield Game(1/2)
At this time, Roger saw new movements on the enemy's walls.
The Tyr people raised a very tall trunk on the city wall with ropes, and according to the canopy, they made a huge, wide ring of wood, and installed it on the top of the trunk.
They coated tar, sulfur, wax, grease around that wooden ring, mixed with linen and lit with fire.
When the wooden rings burned, they pulled down the tall trunks that stood.
So the wooden ring drew a parabola and flew over the high city wall towards the giant shield of the rattan.
The giant shield in the middle was trapped by the fire ring and soon burned with it.
This time, without Roger's orders, the Frank axe soldiers began to shout.
Not long after, the tunnel in the middle also collapsed.
Roger realized that things were getting worse.
Although both people in the tunnel were saved, they could no longer continue to dig.
Without the protection of giant shields, when they bring the soil out of the hole, they will be sniped by archers on the city wall.
Roger saw the enemy on the top of the city and started working again.
His sensitive ears heard someone shouting there: "Hurry up and create another wooden ring, and only a giant shield will be left."
Someone on the other side of the city wall replied: "Speak lightly, come and try it. Is such a large wooden ring so easy to make?"
Roger nervously thought about the countermeasures, and he came up with an idea.
He ordered to the army: "Put out all the giant rattan shields for me, put them at any distance, and place them at random.
“Then continue to build it for me, and then build one out.
"Cover those two people in the damaged holes out, let them choose a giant shield as a cover and continue digging."
The Frank axemen immediately took action.
Smith reminded: "It's impossible for us to dig tunnels behind so many giant shields at the same time, it's too labor-intensive."
Roger said: "This is done to confuse the enemy, and they cannot create such huge wooden rings endlessly.
"But you reminded me that the digging of soil will reveal the real hole.
"Order: Send soldiers to drag a basket of dirt to run behind different giant shields, so that the opponent can't guess which giant shield really has dirt behind them."
After Roger's order was implemented, the boring process of digging holes became interesting.
The front of the position seems to have become a huge game field.
Among them, the "Gopher Game" is very popular among everyone.
A soldier suddenly rushed out from behind a giant shield, and he dragged the basket toward another giant shield.
The Frank axemen shouted to cheer him up.
"Run over! Rush over! Oh yeah! Rush over!"
The enemies on the city wall were also very excited.
"You idiots, so many people can't hit any of them! Get out of here, let me do it!"
"Head, another one came out from over there!"
“Where, where?”
"Hide in again."
"Damn!"
Another "ring game" is also very exciting.
The enemy on the city wall set up tall trunks, with burning wooden rings on them.
The soldier asked for instructions: "Old men, which one should I vote for?"
"I think there are holes behind these two shields, so let me think about it, I guess it should be behind the one on the left."
"No, I think it's behind the one on the right."
"Come on, you two idiots, every time you guessed wrong, wasting the wooden rings you worked hard to make."
"You can guess that your back hurts if you gossip."
"Haha, it's not that I brag, I'm prepared.
"Come here, please invite the divination master."
......
At the same time, beside Roger watching the battle, all the bored nobles and knights in the camp came.
"Hurry up if you want to place a bet!"
"What's the odds now?"
"One on the left is compensated two, two on the right is compensated one, and one on the right is compensated five if you miss a shot."
"I missed the bet."
"Brother, you're sure to lose, they're shooting very accurately."
......
On the city wall, the divination master looked serious and was carefully observing the crystal ball. The nobles of Tyr were waiting quietly.
Under the city wall, Christian nobles and knights were noisy.
Some shouted: "Hurry up the one above, wait for the bet!"
Some waved their arms: "Left, throw to the left!"
Some people also shouted: "To the right, the entrance of the hole is on the right!"
Someone scolded: "You are cheating!"
Smith said worriedly: "It's not good."
Roger said indifferently: "It's okay, it's better to have a false and real thing, but it's not easy for the other party to guess."
Some of the Tyr nobles on the city wall were impatient and said, "When will the master want to divine? Why don't you choose one and throw it in?"
Another nobleman shouted angrily: "What's the hurry? Let them wait, no one is allowed to interfere with the master's divination."
A soldier who was anxious and was about to come forward to report something, shrank his neck and retreated.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the divination master's crystal ball seemed to have changed.
The master raised his hands and shouted, "I understand..."
The huge wooden ring that was burning finally burned its support, fell down with a bang, and burst into a sea of fire on the city wall.
The Tyrian nobles and soldiers were covered in fire and ran around.
The divination master and his crystal ball, trapped in the wooden ring, disappeared in the flames.
The Christians under the city wall were stunned at first, and then they burst into cheers of breaking through the sky.
But there are also inconsistent voices.
"Ah, I won't make a shot and lost five! I'll give it!"
"This is not counting. They didn't vote. This is an accident. Let's start over again!"
"You want to lose money! Lose money!"
"Oh! If you have something to say, don't tug my beard!"
"Get money quickly!"
"This game doesn't count! It doesn't count if it didn't count! It's all said that this is an accident!"
"Will you compensate me or not! If you don't compensate me, I will beat you to death!"
"Who is afraid of whom! I'll fight you!"
Roger looked at the two twisted nobles with hatred, and shouted:
"Quality!Quality! You two are like shrews, and the nobles' faces are all lost!
"Henk, why are you still standing there? Go and pull them apart!
"By the way, help me get the bet back."
......
Five days later, the outer wall of Tyr collapsed a large section of the outer city walls like a violent volcanic eruption, revealing a huge gap covered with gravel.
The Christian warriors who were prepared were shouting and flocking in.
They did not encounter decent resistance and easily occupied the city gates and the remaining walls.
Some of the Tyr soldiers who were intercepted and had no time to escape surrendered after a little resistance.
But more people fled into the inner city at the top of the peninsula at a faster speed than the hermit crab retracted into the shell.
