The archers and crossbow archers were wearing cloth armor or leather armor, holding bows or crossbows in their hands, and quivering boots or crossbow bags hung around their waists, running towards the arrow tower and the city walls. While running, the accessories on their bodies made a rustling sound. Julian walked up to the city wall and looked at the Rostock people who were cutting down trees outside the castle and making siege equipment. Hundreds of people cut down the woods at the same time were quite spectacular. The trees fell one after another, and the noisy sounds and the sounds of trees falling to the ground were intertwined.

"You go over there, five crossbowmen come here in the arrow tower." Julian shouted to the crossbowmen who were defending the city walls. The crossbowmen immediately entered the arrow tower according to Julian's arrangement. This stone arrow tower built since the era of Charlemagne is very strong. The shooting hole is designed with wide inside and narrow outside, which can protect the guards in the arrow tower.

"Julian, arrange the baojia militia on the wall." Arod also walked up to the wall at this time, followed by two knights from the Monks of St. Jomme. He brought the baojia militia on the wall. These militias who had not undergone much military training were all German farmers holding pitchforks. They looked at the Rostock people under the castle with a frightened look on their faces.

"Master Earl." Julian looked at the reinforcements sent by Arod. They turned out to be seventy-five peasant soldiers. He couldn't help but frowned. He needed elite soldiers to guard the city wall. Even if he was not a knight, he should at least be a strictly trained slave soldier. However, Arod arranged these peasant soldiers to himself. He turned his body and approached Arod and whispered, "These peasants cannot stick to the city wall of the castle. Lord Earl Please reconsider."

"I think it's enough for those who stick to the city wall." Arod smiled mysteriously and said to Julian, who was puzzled.

"But these people may run away in scatters when the enemy climbs the city wall." Julian looked at the farmers uneasy, his expression very unnatural. He did not trust those who had not been baptized by blood.

"Don't worry, their families are all in the castle. They know very well what kind of invasion will their families encounter if the Rostock conquers the castle, not to mention that these peasants have undergone preliminary training in Baojia. They have learned the basic fighting methods, and do you think I have never considered strengthening the defense of the castle after conquering Mecklenburg Castle?" Arod was very confident in the German peasants, but the reason why he dared to use peasants on the walls that people usually think must be firmly guarded was because Arod had his own secret weapon.

"Oh? What's your trick?" Julian knew that Arod had always had all kinds of wonderful ideas. At this time, he saw the peasants carrying many strange things up the city wall, looking at their pace and their hard work. Those things should be very heavy.

Chief Rostock stood upright under the hill, staring at the historic castle, which was once one of the most important fortresses of the Mecklenburg emirates, but now it has become a bridgehead for the Germans to invade the Slav territory. Although he was out of greed for the land, it was not just the meaning of pulling out the throat-like thorn for the Slavs. However, it seems that it is not that easy to capture the castle, because the towering terrain of the castle, the soldiers must attack with a swell of physical strength and psychological pressure, while the enemy is the attacker who is shooting down from a high place to the hill.

"What a heroic city. I can't figure out how it would be thrown into the hands of the Germans. If it were me, I would definitely be able to repel any invading enemy." Xavier walked to Chief Rostock and said, looking at the castle towering on the hills in front of him.

"Haha. Xavier, my bravest warrior, don't worry too much about this castle. If I were not sure, I would not take action easily." Chief Rostock rubbed his wine tanker with his hands. He turned around and saw the baggage chariot behind him. Three heavy baggage chariots pulled by cows, covered with linen, and a group of servants were unloading the things on it.

"Are you finally going to use this weapon passed down by your family?" Xavier laughed when he saw the stuff on the baggage truck. This is the inheritance of Chief Rostock. It is as long as Mecklenburg Castle. It has made great contributions to his family's capture of Rostock County. Therefore, it was carefully preserved and repaired by Chief Rostock's family. It seems that it can also show its glory today.

The city defenders and the attackers looked at each other. They looked at each other carefully like two warriors, trying to find their weaknesses, hoping to use their sharpest weapons to defeat the opponent. The first day of being besieged at Mecklenburg Castle was spent in a dull manner. At night, the bonfire lit by the Rostock people was like stars in the night sky, and Aruod was not to be outdone. The order lit the torch of the entire castle, illuminating the entire castle like a pearl, also dispelled Xavier's plan to lead the elite attack.

"Everything~~~~." In the early morning of the next day, when most of the soldiers in the castle were sleeping sounded on the cold wall, a sound of war drums suddenly sounded, which made them wake up from their dreams immediately. The crossbowmen lay down into the shooting holes and looked out. They saw the Rostocks holding flags and beating the war drums in a row in battle formation in the thick fog that had not yet been dispersed. The Rostocks held large shields to form shield walls, which were to defend against arrows in the arrow tower and to cover the Rostocks carrying ladders behind them.

"The enemy is here, ready to fight. Archers and crossbow archers stick to their posts and obey orders." On the walls of Mecklenburg Castle, commands came one after another. Archers and crossbow archers set off arrows and crossbows. They stood in their positions and aimed the bows and crossbows into the shooting hole, but they did not waste arrows at will before receiving the order.

"Finally come, let the whirlwind cannon be prepared." Aruod also stayed in a corner tower for a night. The tension before the battle made him sleep for a night. Just as he was sleepy at dawn, the Rostock attack started. He stood up and took off the cloak covered by the servant, and the servant fell asleep beside the door. When he heard Aruod's voice, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up. He was still the age of a child sleeping, but after hearing Aruod's order, he immediately ran out of the corner tower. He stood on the stone steps and conveyed Aruod's orders. Another young servant stood below the corner tower. After hearing the order, he ran to the open space behind the city wall. Where was the fifteen whirlwind cannons standing majestic.
