Soon, the Imperial Army appeared in front of a castle where the army of the Bazaran Kingdom was stationed.

"This is one of the enemy's garrisons. I think we should concentrate all our forces on one point. First attack here, and then destroy the enemies one by one, so that we can get the final victory!"

Count Redmara stood beside King Satri, pointing to the castle in front of him and said.

"Well...your method is indeed good, but there are some shortcomings!" King Satri nodded and said noncommittal.

"The enemy stays in the castle. It is not easy for us to conquer quickly. This will actually drag down our logistics, unless the lord of your empire can guarantee that our rations will not be short!"

Listening to the words of King Satri, Count Redmara couldn't help but sighed. The siege was not easy at first, and he was ready to fight a protracted battle.

"No problem, Your Majesty Satri, we will solve the army's food problem, but we should find a way to conquer the enemy's castle as soon as possible!"

The empire controls a large fertile plain in the middle of the country. In addition, the lords of various regions have to pay annuities, and the land of the self-cultivators also need to pay taxes. Therefore, the royal family does not lack food.

But even so, Count Redmara did not want to delay the war for too long, bye bye wasting more food and money.

You must know that the salaries of soldiers during the expedition period need to be doubled. The original agreement stated that the double salary of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bukerdern must be paid by the empire.

"Don't worry, we are ready for the siege long ago. The equipment is very complete, and all the assembled parts are carried with the army. You don't need to worry!" King Sateli waved his hand and said lightly.

However, his words set off stormy waves in Count Redmara's heart.

"Ready to attack the city?"

"Before that, they didn't know that they were going to march west, so what did they want to do when preparing siege equipment?"

Count Redmara didn't dare to think about it anymore, the guesses in his heart were too appalling.

King Irmaru was not idle either. Although their main force had already entered the castle, they still left some mobile light cavalry to investigate the movement of the Imperial Army.

The hussars hurried back to Inzburg, where King Irmaru was located, and shot the detected news into the city wall with arrows tied with parchment.

After receiving the arrow, the defender on the city wall quickly delivered the parchment to the hands of King Elmaru.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has already besieged Rolburg and surrounded Rolburg strictly, but they show no signs of advancing towards Inzburg!"

Hu Cong reported the news to King Elmaru and handed over the parchment to King Elmaru.

King Elmaru tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, thinking about countermeasures.

A moment later, a smile appeared on King Elmaru's face, and he whispered: "It really gave me a good opportunity!"

After that, King Elmaru said: "Order the light cavalry outside the city to search for the enemy's two lanes behind the enemy! I already have a way!"

Although King Elmaru is cruel, it does not mean that he is a faint lord, otherwise there would not be so many lords willing to follow him from the beginning.

Outside the city of Rohrburg, the coalition forces of the Empire and the Kingdom of Buckden are setting up camps and assembling siege equipment.

Wells, carts, trebuchets, and even ballistas existed. The parts that had been made by skilled craftsmen in the south were assembled by soldiers. Numerous tents were also erected outside the city of Fort Ron. .

Although the defenders in the city wanted to go out of the city to harass, after all, they were still worried about being entangled by the enemy and taking the castle in one go.

The soldiers on the wall just watched the enemy forces under the wall assembling the siege equipment, but they could not do anything.

Count Redmara rode his horse to look at the city wall, his heart sinking slightly.

Although his own siege equipment was well prepared, the number of enemy troops in the castle was still too much. He worried that the people in the Kingdom of Bukerdern would not be willing to bear the loss until the storm, and let himself wait for others’ troops. Act as cannon fodder.

This kind of thing is not impossible. Count Redmara is very clear that the enemy's strength is dominant, and it is not them who are eager to conquer the west, nor are they responsible for the consumption of military rations.

Even if it drags on, there will be no loss to this group of people in the Kingdom of Buckden, and all losses will be borne by the empire.

Three days are fleeting, and it is much easier to assemble siege equipment than to build. In just three days, thirty well rails, ten scooters, twenty catapults and five crossbows were assembled. gun.

The huge siege equipment stood outside the city like a prehistoric beast lying dormant, and the imperial army's well was even much higher than Rolburg.

On November 4th, 27th year of the Empire, the Imperial Army deployed its position under the walls of Fort Rolle.

The 12,000 troops of the Kingdom of Bookeden and the 3,000 imperial troops totaling 15,000 men are preparing aggressively to launch a siege on the city wall.

King Satli looked at the city wall in front of him, and waved his hand to his side with confidence, "Order the catapult and ballista to start shooting at the enemy's city head!"

The soldiers began to pry the wooden arms of the trebuchet with wooden sticks, using the brackets to clamp the grooves on them, and then filled the stones.

This series of actions was very labor intensive, and the five soldiers operating the catapult were already sweating after this series of actions.

The soldiers behind the ballistas were much more relaxed. Because the ballistas were more powerful, the force required to pull them was almost beyond the reach of manpower.

Therefore, there are a lot of wooden assist gears on it to reduce the strength that soldiers need to spend.

It is worth mentioning that the gear technology of the Kingdom of Bukerdern is not original, but comes from a distant pagan country, and successfully obtained the technology of the other party through the developed sea transportation.

The creaking sound sounded sour, the rope on the ballista was stretched straight, and the huge stones were ready to be launched at any time.

"Launch!" the officer commanding the ballista and the trebuchet shouted loudly~lightnovelpub.net~whoop..."

Carrying the kinetic energy endowed by the machine, the boulder whizzed and flew towards the city with great power.

The crushed stones splashed against the wall made of stone, and even a few battlements were directly broken.

This is the power of the ballista. This bombardment directly caused the morale of the defenders on the wall to collapse.

The walls without battlements could not protect them at all, so they stood on the walls and were exposed to the enemy's shooting range.

King Satli smiled and looked at the battle ahead, and said to Count Redmara beside him: "Look, this is our development in the siege. I think no one on the mainland can compare to us Booker. The Kingdom of Deen!"

King Sartri’s tone was very proud, and Count Redmara had to nod his head. Although the opponent was arrogant, but was able to conquer the castle, all this was nothing.
