Section 72, the stone crossbow
The sound of trumpets sounded, and Baron Hedwig, who had been exhausted on the city wall, raised his head in surprise. They looked into the distance and saw a Schwarz flag flying on the hills. They were so surprised that they didn't even know how to react.
"It's reinforcements, reinforcements are coming." Du Deng leaned on a spear. He felt that every time he took a breath, his lungs seemed to burn.
"It's reinforcements, but." Baron Hedwig looked at his embarrassed son and nodded, but the army on the hills seemed to have only a hundred people at most, which was too small compared to the rebels under the castle.
"Are we saved?" Hedwig's second son Edman held a shield, his forehead was scratched by arrows, but he didn't care about bandaging at all.
"For God's sake, someone finally came to save us." Sir Buckhouse strode over a member of the Flagless Brotherhood who was still screaming, and then smashed his throat with the tip of his shield.
"Gudu." Baron Hedwig swallowed hard. He didn't know how long the small team could last under the tide of rebels, but they did give the castle guards a little bit of rest.
"Anthony, why are there enemies behind us?" Benson hurried to Anthony's side, and the siege army was retreated.
"I don't know, Count Schwartz's people should be in the castle." Anthony said to Benson.
"So what should we do?" Benson asked Anthony with his one-eye looking at Rudolph's army on the hill.
"Leave a unit to defend the defenders in the castle, and the others will destroy the noble army behind them first." Anthony pulled out the sword at his waist, wearing a chain mail and a nose-protecting iron helmet.
"Our people are too tired, let them take a break." But Benson stopped him because of the continuous attacks on the city walls, their people were already exhausted, after all, these people used to be just farmers who ate the worst quality food.
"Okay, let's prepare something to eat." Anthony looked around, and the soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood sat exhausted everywhere, and under such circumstances, they could not force the soldiers to continue the attack.
"Let the women raise the tongs and start cooking." Benson waved his arms and shouted loudly to the women in the camp.
Smoke was raised in the camp, and the people of the Flagless Brotherhood seemed to be planning to eat and drink enough, and then attack Rudolph and others on the hills, but all this was seen by Rudolph.
"I want to rest, but I think it's pretty beautiful." Rudolf smiled contemptuously. He walked to the stone crossbow and ordered the craftsmen, "Can the stone crossbow attack the camp?"
"This distance should be OK." Fein looked far away, gestured with his thumb, nodded and said to Rudolph.
"Then give them something harder!" Rudolph said to Fein.
"Yes, Lord Rudolph." Fein nodded. He and the craftsmen immediately placed the stones in the throwing bag of the stone crossbow, then turned the crankshaft wheel, and the leather strips tightened the bowstring as they turned.
"Wedge." Seeing that he had pulled his bow arm to the extreme, Fein quickly said to a craftsman.
"Bang." A wooden wedge blocked the bowstring, and five stone crossbows were about to stop at the same time.
"Aim~~~." Rudolf raised his arm and said to the craftsmen who operated the stone crossbow.
The craftsman who operated the stone crossbow immediately bent down and there was a Wangshan at the front of the stone crossbow. This was made by Rudolf according to the suggestion of the boss Ying Zheng. It is said that the Qin army's powerful crossbows were all Wangshan, which is the sighting sight.
"Prepare, launch." Seeing that the craftsmen adjusted the stone crossbows and aimed at the Flagless Brotherhood Camp, Rudolph waved his hand down.
"Bao." Fein ordered the craftsmen.
"Orbital~~." The craftsmen pulled out the wooden wedges, and the tightened leather strips that were no longer obstructed were loosened. The bowstring pulled the stones in the leather and bounced out with a whistle.
The stones flew into the sky and smashed straight above the camp of the Brotherhood without Flags. The soldiers of the Brotherhood without Flags were sitting around the campfire, and the tongs were bubbling in the pot, and all kinds of food and meat they could find were being cooked inside. The soldiers who were waiting for a delicious meal to replenish their energy suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky. They couldn't help but raise their eyes.
"What is that?" The soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood looked at the sky in surprise. Dozens of black dots gradually approached from the sky. Before they could react, the stones hit their heads.
"Ah~~." Suddenly, it seemed as if a disaster had come. The stones landed on the heads of the soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood Warriors with acceleration. The tongs in the bonfire was smashed to the ground, and the heads hit by the stones were bleeding.
"What happened?" Anthony and Benson were sitting together to enjoy a piece of venison, but they heard the miserable sounds in the camp and the roar of falling rocks, and the two hurriedly stood up.
"Be careful." Benson saw the black dots above his head falling rapidly, and he hurriedly hugged Anthony and rushed to the side.
"Ping~~." The stones hit them. The two of them got up from the ground in a mess and saw a pit smashed on the ground, and the mud on the ground was splashed everywhere.
"What the hell is this?" Benson and Anthony got up from the ground. They looked at the messy camp hit by stones, and were horrified to find that they knew nothing about this weapon.
"It's coming again." The soldiers of the Flagless Brotherhood had just recovered from their horror, but a new wave of stone attacks came again.
"Wow~~." The stones covered the entire camp. The people in the camp seemed even more panicked because they could not tell whether they would be hit. The stables of war horses and the tents in the logistics camp were all affected. The women screamed and ran around the camp, making the situation even more chaotic.
"It was them, they were the ones who made it." But Anthony went to see the stones fired from the hill where Rudolph was. Although he could not determine what weapon it was, he knew that the army on the hill must be wiped out.
"I'll take people to destroy them." Benson's one-eyed eyes flashed with hatred. The feeling of being beaten passively but unable to fight back was very uncomfortable, so he said to Anthony.
"It should be enough to bring half of the people." Anthony looked around and handed over more than 500 people to Benson. Because the Castle Knights had once attacked, he needed to arrange people to prevent the guards in the Castle from attacking.
