"Drum roll!" Mason ordered: "Everyone come to the city!"

The snare drum sounded, and the militiamen hurriedly ran out of the bunker and climbed onto the wooden frame behind the city wall.

Seeing the barbarian suddenly baring his fangs, and the smelly blood dripping from the fangs, the militiamen who had just gotten used to the low-intensity artillery fire were instantly out of breath.

There was silence on the city wall, and the militiamen were thirsty and stared at the Tertun people approaching.

After listening to Mason's explanation of tactics, the militia captains realized that in the end, the barbarians still used their special skills.

The Teltun people used the resources at hand and adopted a "hybrid" siege method: approaching with trenches, using limited artillery to focus on destroying the wall, and then using their usual tactics - carts, filling trenches, and climbing the city.

.

"You're mute? What are you afraid of? Do you think fighting is for fun?" Mason patrolled along Fort Arrowhead and scolded the silent militiamen: "Even if you stand on a hundred-meter-high wall, you can't escape risking your life!

From now on, all of you are dead! Only by winning can you be qualified to live!"

The Terton people's carriage entered thirty meters, and the two wooden cannons on the Arrowhead Fort roared.

The small iron pellets wrapped in parchment left the barrel and scattered into pieces in mid-air.

Most of the shotshells were blocked by the forklift, and a small part passed through the gap between the two forklifts.

One of the Terton men let go of the cart's hands with a cry of pain, and another pair of hands immediately took over.

"[Herdese] The gods are above!" Hong Lingyu [Tahei] who commanded the carriage roared: "[Herdese] The thunder of the two-legged man is gone! Hurry!"

The militiamen behind the city wall heard the barbarians roaring "wu ka ha", and the pace of the carriage suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the city wall.

Suddenly, a militiaman covered his eyes and screamed, took a few steps back and fell off the wooden frame, with an arrow shaft stuck between his fingers.

The stretcher team hurriedly ran over to take away the militiaman who had been hit by an arrow, but he had already expired.

There were a few more clang sounds of bowstrings, and the soldiers on the carriage fired their arrows without mercy, killing the Gévaudan militiamen who were staring blankly.

"Damn it! Idiot!" Captain Ivan, a tall, thin, silent man, suddenly burst out. He yelled and cursed, and gave the militiaman who was standing stupidly beside him a big slap in the face with his backhand: "What the hell are you doing? Are you waiting to be slaughtered? Beat him!"

"

There was no time for the new recruits to adapt to the bloody scene, and those who recovered began to fight back one after another.

A quarter of an hour ago, the militiamen were still watching Tribune Mason's jokes and hiding in their bunkers listening to the sound of cannons. Many people thought "this is nothing more than fighting a war";

In the next quarter of an hour, when the militiamen thought they had become accustomed to fighting, they saw the true violence of war, and many people were already dead.

Arrows and lead bullets were flying in the air, gunshots and wails were heard one after another, but the siege was far from the most brutal stage.

"What are you doing here?!" Mason rushed to Arrowhead Fort and ordered the gunner who was loading: "Take the cannon and go! Go to the side and shoot!"

Two groups of gunners carried wooden cannons in a hurry and moved towards both sides of Arrowhead Fort, while the carriages had already reached the edge of the trench.

The distance between the two sides was less than six meters, separated only by a trench, and each could even see the trembling tips of the other's beards clearly.

The hard bows and heavy arrows of the Terton soldiers were surprisingly accurate at this distance. Some of the Gévaudan militiamen even only exposed half of their bow-holding hands at the crenellations, and would be pierced by an arrow the next moment.

Seeing that the militiamen on Fort Arrow were suppressed, Mason pushed and kicked the militiamen who were hiding behind the city wall and did not dare to raise their heads: "Stand up! Go to the gunner's position! Go to both sides! Go!"

Relying on the cover of carts and archers, the Teltun people used small carts to continuously pour soil and firewood into the trench.

There were also Terdun men with pickaxes who used ropes to silently descend to the bottom of the trench.

"The barbarians are pulling out wooden stakes!" The sentry on the side of the triangular fort warned hoarsely: "They are digging into the wall!"

"Liquid fire!" Mason yelled, "Anse!"

Hearing the sound of the snare drum as they entered the city, Demon Anse, who hurried back to Arrowhead Castle from the workshop, immediately led his men to carry out boxes of clay pots from the bunker.

The commander of the Hundred Horsemen of Terdun [Tahei] on the front line saw black objects being thrown out from behind the city wall one after another. The black objects shattered when they hit the ground, like pottery.

A soldier with amazing archery skills shot a clay pot in the air, causing liquid to spill out of the pot.

Tahei, who realized what the other party was going to do, was so horrified that he rushed out of the carriage and shouted in despair: "Come up [in Hud language]!"

It was too late, several torches were thrown into the trench, and a layer of blue flame spread at the bottom of the trench.

Another bundle of hay was thrown into the trench. These hay burned even more violently than ordinary hay, and the moat instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Richard Mason picked up the hay wrapped in gunpowder and threw it out of the city one bundle after another until the smoke billowed and the smell of burning filled the air.

The inhuman screams of the dying people quickly disappeared, and the Tertun people's attack was temporarily blocked by the fire, but they did not retreat as the defenders expected.

The Tertun people were nailed to the edge of the trench, using heavy armored archers to suppress the militiamen on the city wall who did not dare to raise their heads and refused to retreat.

The thick smoke obscured his vision. Mason moved to the side of the arrow and finally saw clearly what the Teltown people were doing - using the cover of the thick smoke and the carriage, they were actually trying to dig trenches beside the moat.
