Seeing this, Margaret was also amused and laughed, so he didn't mention asking Eugen to leave. He helped him to the sand beside him, and returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Eugen, who was lying on the sand, was still snoring, but a smile faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In this way, the sun rose and the next day came quietly. Eugen stayed in Margaret's room and slept comfortably all night.

That night, Saxony's archers came four times, attacking once more than yesterday.

However, under the command of Captain Allen, except for the initial attack, they successfully avoided the last three attacks, causing no casualties.

During the day, the attacks of Saxon soldiers came as usual, still as they did yesterday, just around the city walls without charging.

They were like a group of scavenging crows, watching Lebir City. Once Lebir City's defense showed slackness due to fatigue, they would rush forward and launch a crazy attack.

Compared to yesterday, the soldiers in the moat today are obviously in a worse condition. Some of them have not slept well for two consecutive days.

However, Alan had no choice but to try to stabilize and preserve his own strength as Eugen said.

Time passed quietly in the entangled offense and defense between the two sides. On the third and fourth days, the same script was performed every day.

Saxon soldiers forced them over during the day, and the moat soldiers tried their best to resist. At night, their archers launched their shooting, while the moat soldiers hid in time.

There were casualties and injuries every day in these two days, but the total number was not more than fifty people, so it could only be considered a small fight.

Compared with casualties, the energy consumption problem of the soldiers in the moat team is even greater.

The continuous harassment day and night was really annoying. On the third day, the Saxon archers actually launched ten attacks overnight. The city walls were filled with arrows. The moat soldiers cleaned up the arrows for nearly an hour.

The situation became worse on the fourth day. A team of Saxon infantry took advantage of the opportunity of their archers shooting and secretly used the ladder to climb onto the city wall, trying to destroy the locking device of the city gate.

Fortunately, the moat was promptly discovered and killed them all, protecting the locking device.

Otherwise, once the locking device is destroyed and the city gate cannot be closed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This attack shocked Captain Allen a cold sweat. Originally, during the archer's attack, he would remove most of the defenses on the city walls to reduce casualties.

Now I dare not do this anymore. Who knows what those crazy Saxons would do? If it is not a small team but a legion that steps onto the city wall, then the city of Lebre will probably have fallen now.

In fact, Allen's concerns were a bit too far. The movements and situations of large-scale military operations were extremely difficult to hide. Besides, they were not completely defenseless, and this time they were just negligence.

But Allen didn't dare to take this risk. Early in the morning of the fifth day, he arranged to add several defense teams and equipped them with heavy armor and steel shields.

When the arrow rain comes, these teams cannot hide, but must stay in place and keep a close eye on the situation on the city wall.

Even if you have a thorough defense, there will inevitably be casualties. However, this is impossible. Sometimes some necessary sacrifices are inevitable.

For this reason, Allen also specially named the soldiers' independent formation as the Reef Brigade, comparing them to reefs, and even in the rain of arrows and storms, they will stick to their original place.

The military salary of the Reef Brigade is slightly higher than that of the Dragon Horse Army, and it is already the highest-level team in the entire moat. Moreover, Allen promised that every member of the Reef Team would receive the heroic medal of Lebor City at the end of this battle, which is a very high honor.

With these generous conditions, the soldiers in the teacher team had no complaints and accepted this matter naturally.

Old Peter was one of the members of the Reef Squad. It was his voluntary decision to join the Reef Squad. When he got older, the honor brought by the medal could no longer arouse his passion, but the military pay that was several times richer was a great temptation.

There were more than a dozen mouths at home and they wanted to eat. When it was cold, they wanted to buy some cotton coats for their parents and children. With such a wish, Old Peter put on the armor with only a pair of eyes and carried a huge zither-shaped shield as thick as the door panel.

"With such a defense on your body, there is nothing scary about the rain of arrows." Old Peter thought quietly in his heart, and then resolutely walked over the city wall.

Even though he was old, old Peter's eyes were still as bright as when he was young. Even in the dark, he could see and hear a lot.

The friction of iron armor, the reflection of swords, and the whistling of arrows are all things that need his attention.

After a whole day of trembling, the night finally came inevitable. More than thirty soldiers like Old Peter stood on the city wall, staring at the movements around.

With the experience of the previous four days, Old Peter did not have no idea about the attacks of those archers. In fact, if he was careful enough, he could still show signs of the attack.

The creaking sound of the soles of the shoes on the snow, the vague reflection of the clusters of arrows in the moonlight, and the whistling sound of arrows passing through the air are all important signs. As long as you are careful, there will be no big problems.

I looked up at the night sky. Half of the bright moon hung in the air. The clear moonlight fell on the ground like water waves. Such night attacks are often not very fierce. The moonlight is likely to expose its whereabouts. The Saxon soldiers are not really careless.

Old Peter stood firmly on the city wall, waiting for an attack that might come at some point. In this silent watch, time seemed to be gradually lengthening.

The reef team does not participate in the battle during the day and can rest at home and cannot go home overnight. They must always guard the city walls. Their armor is wrapped in thick cotton coats to block the coldness at night.

One hour, two hours, three hours, time passes little by little, and in this kind of watch, it seems that even time has stopped flowing.

Old Peter remembered many things he had never thought about before, including his childhood memories, recent troubles, beatings and scoldings from his father, and beatings and scoldings from his father after becoming a father.

All kinds of thoughts were ups and downs in my mind, and Old Peter vaguely felt a trance. He thought: Will the enemy not launch an attack tonight? This night will pass in such a calm.

As he thought about it, Old Peter's head began to sink gradually, sleepiness came like a tide, and his body wrapped in armor and cotton coat was very warm. It seemed that it was good to fall asleep in this warmth.
