A few days later, more than 10,000 Holy Roman Empire troops led by temporary commander Stavin went to the siege camp outside Arkham Manor to join Richard. They also brought all the catapults and artillery-including Twelve catapults, six siege scales, eight siege artillery, and four heavy siege artillery.

After getting a total of thirty heavy equipment, in order to obtain powerful firepower, Richard did not scatter them, but gathered them and lined them up in front of the army, generously showing them to the coalition soldiers like trapped beasts.

Looking at the unforgettable artillery (although the coalition soldiers still don’t know its name), the soldiers standing on the fence and watching behind the fence rioted. They did not expect that they would be horrified by these horrors when they attacked the city. Even if they were bombarded with weapons, they would still be beaten by this weapon when they were surrounded.

"Calm down, calm down! As long as we have courage in our hearts, Magic Deer will protect us from the evil witchcraft of the enemy!"

The officers walked in the crowd, yelling loudly, comforting the soldiers who were agitated, but their words were so pale and feeble that not only the soldiers didn't trust him, but he didn't even believe him.

On the other side, Richard looked at the chaotic coalition camp with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After he rode his horse to the artillery position, he slowly raised his right hand and shouted: "Get ready to shoot, let the opposite heretics taste it. Wrath from God!"

"call!"

The operators agreed in unison, and then loaded the ammunition in an orderly manner. The soldiers with naked torso and strong muscles lifted the heavy boulder together, moved it into the skin bag at the end of the trebuchet's throwing arm, and then carried out the final aiming and debugging. On the other side, in front of the most primitive artillery, the operator first pours the gunpowder, then stuffs the solid iron ball into the barrel, compacts it with a tamping bar, and finally inserts the arquebus into the small hole at the top of the barrel, ready to ignite .

"The salvo of twelve artillery and eighteen catapults, I really want to see that scene." Richard whispered, slowly drew out the saber around his waist, and then raised it high. When everyone's eyes hit the sharp sword he raised, Richard slashed the sharp sword into the void ahead, and roared, "Shoot!"

boom! Boom boom boom -

As soon as Richard's voice fell, the twelve artillery roars were deafening, and eighteen trebuchets followed to project heavy boulders. The shocking movement not only shocked the sergeants on both sides, but also made Richard on the sidelines. The horse under the crotch was frightened, screamed, and people stood up.

Whoosh-boom!

The deadly shells fell into the coalition barracks with the whistling sound of tearing the sky, splitting the bodies of the soldiers who were blocking the path. After running a blood path in the crowd, the solid iron ball that finally lost its power fell on the ground. , Raised a circle of smoke and dust, and then looked at the iron ball that took many lives. It had been stained red with blood, and there were still many pieces of meat on it.

The scream immediately sounded in the coalition barracks.

Facing the mysterious artillery bombardment, the soldiers screamed and fled in disregard of nearby officers. Some of them tripped over something on the ground while running, and fell to the ground with inertia, before he was struggling to think. To get up, countless feet behind him have already stepped on him, trampling him to death. Some people were hit by cannonballs falling from the sky while running, and their lower body flew out with the cannonballs in an instant, leaving only the upper body still in blood and internal organs thumping and falling to the ground. The soldier who lost the lower body has not died yet, miserably. He yelled and stretched out his hands and wanted the panicked comrades to save him, but no one cared about him.

boom!

A shell hit the wall of Arkham Manor, and a hideous hole flowed directly into the tall wall made of masonry. The shell hit the wall and caused many stones to fly horizontally, hitting many nearby soldiers. Cause more casualties.

"Run away! Run away!"

The cannonballs falling from the sky continue to fall into the chaotic crowd. Each cannonball or boulder can take the lives of many soldiers and cause more soldiers to be injured. People's screams and wailing resounded over the barracks, blood flowed, and finally gathered into a small river of blood. Those with broken limbs and internal organs were scattered on the ground, and the escaped people stepped on their feet wantonly.

"Mom... Mom... I want to go home..."

Amid the roar of the shelling, the psychological defenses of some coalition soldiers completely collapsed. They gave up running away, squatted on the spot with their heads in their hands, and kept mumbling words so that others could not hear them, or praying to the magic deer **** they believed in. Pray for the ethereal gods to protect them from the enemy.

However, the gods couldn't bring them back from hell. Some unlucky soldiers were still hit by shells, and the whole person was directly shattered, leaving only blood mist and broken pieces of meat scattered on the ground.

...

"Is Richard's bombardment over?"

I don't know how long it took before the sound of the cannons gradually subsided. Listening to the movement outside, Jutian and Bandak, who were hiding in the center of the manor, peeked at each other and shouted outside.

"It's over, my king." After a while, the guard's answer came from outside. The two men were relieved, and put a big rock in their hearts. Just when they were shelled, the manor was also in trouble~www. lightnovelpub.net~ Several buildings were hit, and many soldiers hiding in them died.

When they walked out of the room, the chaotic scene outside caught the eyes of the two of them. They looked at the dilapidated house with white smoke and the building fragments and corpses everywhere, and their hearts were filled with despair.

The two armies had not yet fought, and their barracks were so severely damaged. Although not many people will die in this attack, the psychological shadow it left on the survivors is not easy to eliminate. Listening to the groans and screams lingering in the ears, and looking at the corpses and broken arms all over the floor, even a warrior no matter how firm it is, can't help but feel scared.

"King Jutian, you can't go on like this anymore." Bandak said to Jutian, who nodded but said nothing. He just took a step forward, leaning against the fence and looking down. The soldiers who were busy rescuing the wounded, after a long time, said in a hoarse voice: "However, we have no way to destroy Richard's mysterious weapon. More mysterious weapons."

"Take advantage of the night, send all our cavalry to launch a raid on Richard's camp." Bandak said viciously, "Since we have been surrounded by regiments, the cavalry can only dismount and serve as infantry. Give full play to their value and let them raid Richard’s camp and eliminate those trebuchets and mysterious weapons."

"Whether they succeed or fail, they will stay in Richard's camp forever." Bandak continued, "This can also reduce our consumption of food."

"Hi..." Zhu Tian took a breath of surprise at Bandak's plan, but he didn't object either, nodded and acquiesced.

In order to eliminate the threat of Richard's artillery, it is not impossible to sacrifice the cavalry.
