Chapter 249 The moat of the counterattack

The brave Saxon soldiers made a powerful shout of killing sound, and the team carrying a ladder on their shoulders rushed through the air in front of the city wall, stepped on the moat with thick ice surfaces, and put the wide and heavy ladder on the city wall.

Nearly two hundred ladders were laid on the city wall. The Saxony cavalry following closely behind were stomping up the steps like crazy, holding a round shield in their hands to block their bodies, resisting the attacks of falling rocks, arrows and other attacks from above.

In comparison, the number of Saxon soldiers was less than the last time they attacked the city wall, but the number of soldiers who were guarding the city moat also dropped sharply, so the attack intensity was much more fierce than the last time.

The eight hundred soldiers of the city moat spread out, with only four people defending each ladder, which suddenly seemed a little stretched.

At the same time, two giant siege towers also opened in front of the city wall. The shaft rotated, and the thick sieve bridge fell down and laid on the city wall.

A large number of Saxon soldiers gathered under each siege tower. This time they made up their minds to use the siege tower to open a breakthrough, climb the walls of Lebir from these two places, and use this as an anchor to allow more soldiers to use the ladder to climb the walls.

After Saxony's army entered the city, the battle could be announced to be over.

A further distance, Tarik led his personal guards to a distance behind the battlefield, looking at the not-high city wall with a gloomy eyes, his face very ugly.

When he walked over, he saw that the corpses of their Saxon soldiers on both sides were all covered with the corpses of their Saxon soldiers, while the corpses of the moat soldiers were very few.

Just a brief look, you can tell that the war loss ratio has reached a very amazing level. He only knew that Eugen's troops used muskets, but he did not expect that such muskets had such terrible lethality.

Even Tarik felt a little unable to bear the heavy losses this time, and his hatred for Eugen became stronger and stronger.

Izart, who was standing next to Tarik, had no feelings about this. He was even more curious about the secret of Eugen's musket. Before, they listened to the roaring sound of Eugen's musket team, and they thought there was a trooping musket team of thousands of people on the other side.

But later I learned that such a terrible momentum was actually made by a musket team with only a hundred people. This was really shocking. At this moment, Izart had already thought about how powerful it would be if he could assemble such a musket team.

Like Tarik, although the battle situation was a bit bad, neither of them thought they would lose. They even felt that the attack near the city wall meant that the war was about to end.

After all, with the huge number of people, the time for breaking through the city wall will be greatly shortened. In this situation, at most, Leber City will be completely broken in half an hour.

Thinking of this, Izart's heart was already quite hot. After the city was broken, it meant that he could see the two beauties again. It was this incident that made him rush to get up from the big bed in the military tent and come to the front line to watch the battle.

If it were in a normal siege, the situation might develop as Izart and the others thought, but here, things are a little different.

As soon as the long bridge of the siege tower was placed on the city wall, Saxony's soldiers had not yet started attacking, the moat on the city wall actually counterattacked.

The two teams of shield-holding infantry near the wall had already been waiting for the wall to climb out of the city wall, and stepped on the wall and rushed into the siege tower. The Saxon soldiers did not expect such a situation to happen, and they were unable to react for a moment.

Tarik, who was watching the battle in the back, saw this scene and laughed loudly, while laughing and saying, "Hahaha, what kind of commander did such a brainless thing? Faced with the attack of powerful enemies, they actually dared to take the initiative, and they were living impatiently."

Izart also showed a sneer on his face. Although he did not hate Eugen like Tarik, he also had a lot of resentment. This resentment mainly comes from the two women around Eugen.

"Hmph, why can Eugen have two beautiful women around me? I think I'm using my brain to pick up girls, haha, but soon, those two beautiful women will become my people." Izart said with a sinister smile in his heart.

Both of them both despise Eugen to varying degrees, so they did not react in time to the intention of Eugen's ordering soldiers to counterattack.

On the tallest city wall, Eugen stood beside the city wall, possessed himself and looked at a city wall in the lower right corner. His face looked very calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking along Eugen's sight, you can find a soldier wearing a ragged dress in the defensive area on the right side of the city wall, holding a long steel sword in both hands, fighting with two Saxony soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city.

Although the soldier's equipment was simple, his combat effectiveness was quite good. In this short period of time, he had killed three enemies and had a remarkable record. However, accordingly, there was a narrow wound on his right body. The bright red blood stained the commoner, making him slow to move, and his situation looked very dangerous.

The thing Eugen was thinking about in his mind was this soldier - Corion.

From his follower, protection, to his later betrayal and battle, the various causal changes between them seem very abrupt, but if you think deeply, you will find that nothing is gone.

What Eugen had to do at this moment was to clarify the ins and outs of this matter. Objectively speaking, although Corleon betrayed him, he was not at all right.

Only by constantly reflecting and finding out these mistakes can the same situation be avoided in the future.

As for the current battlefield, Eugen did not pay much attention to it, because he had already arranged the response plan. If nothing unexpected happens, it would not be difficult to defend the city wall.

Even if something unexpected happened in the end, he still has backup methods to use.

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, two loud bangs woke Eugen up from his thoughts. He looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately smiled with relief on his face.

I saw the two violent explosions happening near the two siege towers, which were created by the moat soldiers who counterattacked along Banqiao.

The siege tower body is extremely thick. Even if the powder barrel is piled up below and detonated, it will not cause much damage to the siege tower itself. Even if it is blown away from the position, the enemy can quickly re-instantly after simple adjustments.

However, no offensive is unsolvable, just like the siege tower itself, it has an extremely fatal weakness.
