Section 70, Schwarzburg Offensive and Defensive Battle
The noise outside Schwarzburg was shocking, and the Flagless Brotherhood launched a general attack in the early morning. They rushed towards the castle with a simple but effective wooden ladder. The guards on the corner tower of the castle immediately sounded the alarm. The archers desperately shot out the arrows in their hands, without even aiming at them. The dense enemies outside the castle would be shot at random.
"Go and call the knights, we can't deal with so many people." The guards said in horror as they looked at the enemy rushing towards them like a tide.
After hearing the alarm, Baron Hedwig and others immediately put on their armor and climbed the city wall with weapons in hand. However, seeing the enemy's crazy attack, Baron Hedwig was also surprised. The other party seemed to want to capture the castle in one breath.
"Where are the people of the Habsburg family?" Sir Buckhouse climbed the wall. He gasped as he looked at so many enemies and said loudly.
"Don't worry about the Habsburgs, we have to fight for ourselves now, God bless you." Baron Hedwig drew a cross on his chest with his hand, and then held his sword tightly and took it seriously.
"Quick, put the ladder on the trench." Benson directed the soldiers in the crowd. They carried the ladder to the edge of the trench with rainy arrows above their heads, and inserted many pointed wooden stakes into the trench. The trench in the castle was a defense that could prevent siegemen from approaching the city wall.
"Ping Ping~~." The soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood all crossed the ladders above the trench, thus forming a wooden bridge.
"It's so damn." Seeing the soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood put the wooden ladder on the trench, Baron Hedwig couldn't help but curse. Without the protection of the trench, the other party could quickly approach the city wall.
"There's no way to arrows." Sir Buckhouse smashed his mouth. They could only watch each other approaching the city wall. The only way now is to wait for the other party to climb up the city wall and use a sword to kill the enemies one by one on the top of the city.
At this time, in the main tower, Mrs. Agnes also heard the movement outside the city wall. She was eagerly walking in the corridor of the tower, and the panicked maid forgot to salute her.
"Where is Kaitrisy?" Mrs. Agnes saw a horse boy, who was Kaitrisy's, and asked.
"In the bedroom." Ma Tong looked pale and panicked. He replied casually and ran away, but in fact no one knew that there was safety in the castle.
Mrs. Agnes hurried to Ketrisey's bedroom. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she smelled a stench of wine. She couldn't help but take out her handkerchief to cover her nose and saw Ketrisey's decadent appearance sitting next to the fireplace.
"What are you doing? Now you are the only male Habsburg in the castle. You have to put on your armor and boost morale on the walls, so that the vassals can see your fighting posture." Lady Agnes rushed over and snatched the wine glass from Katrisy's hand and scolded her son.
"Oh, it's mother, why are you here?" Katrisi opened his eyes barely, his eyes were already covered, but he still recognized Mrs. Agnes.
"Get up, get up quickly." Mrs. Agnes stepped forward and wanted to pull Katrisy up, but Katrisy was like a pile of mud and could not stand up from the seat at this time.
"It's useless, everything is left to God, we are just a group of pathetic ghosts." Kaitrisy sat heavily in the seat, the wooden chair made a creaking sound, and he said in a dreamlike voice.
"No, no, you are the heir to Hohensdolfon and the Habsburg family's blood, and you can't die here." Mrs. Agnes looked at Ketrisy in front of her, and she was both angry and regretful. She should have listened to Earl Schwartz and let Bishop Albert lead the army, at least she would not be defeated so badly.
Now Mrs. Agnes no longer expects her son to win over the loyalty of her vassals. The only thing she wants now is how to save her son's life. At this time, she remembered a past event. When she had just married Count Schwartz, one day in the courtyard, she saw an ancient sculpture, which was left by the pagan period, so she asked Count Schwartz curiously why she left this thing in the courtyard.
"This existed when my grandfather built the castle here, but it was not removed because there was a secret passage below, which led to a monastery outside the castle. If one day the castle was besieged, you can transport food through this secret passage or let some noble people escape." Earl Schwartz told his bride the secret, but the count's tone seemed to be joking at the time, and Mrs. Agnes did not take it seriously, but at this time the secret seemed particularly real.
Mrs. Agnes hurriedly stopped two attendants from the corridor, ordered them to mount Kaitrisy, and then followed her son to the courtyard.
"Kill~~." The battle on the city wall was also in full swing. The soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood put wooden ladders on the city wall. They climbed up like ants, while Schwartz's soldiers desperately tried to stop them. The bodies of the killed Flagless Brotherhood soldiers fell from the top of the city, but more people climbed up and attacked.
"Go up~! We will win soon. There are countless gold, silver and women in the castle. After capturing the castle, they all belong to you." Benson shouted loudly in the crowd. Hearing his words, the soldiers attacked harder. For a long time, the castle owners lived in safe fortresses and enjoyed luxurious banquets and women, while the farmers could only watch outside. Now, one day, they could have the opportunity to enjoy the same life.
"There are too many people." Sir Buckhouse raised his sword and slashed the face of a flagless brothers warrior who had just climbed up to the city. He cut half of the other party's face to half. The plasma sprayed on the city wall. The Jazz pushed hard and pushed half of the wood-like body off the city wall.
"Stand." Baron Hedwig felt his mouth dry and his throat seemed to be on fire. His arms were so sore that he could hardly hold the sword, but the morale of the enemy was still high.
"God, we're done." Sir Buckhouse gasped, feeling that his life was about to end here.
