~Date: ~October 23rd~

When the soldiers of the Norman Empire pushed and pulled the modified ladder trucks to the underground of the city wall, got on the top of the city, and then started the attack with a roar. General Wallenstein gritted his teeth again and ordered the soldiers to pour oil - this time, he did not want to make the Normans fall, but wanted to ignite the fire and burn the ladder trucks.

The hay and oily smell burned quickly on a ladder truck, and it was like a fire blanket was covered with a fire blanket.

"In this case--" General Wallenstein was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he did not expect that under this situation, the Norman infantry still chose to continue charging! The flames were indeed frightening and flinched. But in front of the real warriors, such a formation was not enough! After bravely moving forward and passing through the sea of ​​fire at the fastest speed, the Norman infantry would not be affected too much. It was just that the calf was slightly burned. The impact on combat effectiveness was quite limited.

However, the coalition soldiers looked at the heroic posture of Norman soldiers passing through the flames and felt ashamed of themselves further.

In this way, a little bit of fire could not stop the Norman soldiers from advancing. In a very short period of time, less than half an hour, more than a thousand Norman infantry climbed the city walls and fought with the coalition forces.

The Norman infantry wearing three-quarter plate armor and holding tomahawk shields had amazing close combat power. Although the army was numerous, its combat power was not as good as these Normans. In addition, the amazing actions of the Norman infantry crossed the sea of ​​fire reduced the morale of the coalition forces. As one rose and the other became increasingly, less than a thousand Norman infantry in turn suppressed the anti-Norman Union army several times more than them.

This made General Wallenstein and General Karl feel dull. Especially after the Normans captured an arrow tower, cut down all the three military flags of Bavaria Bohemia and Austria, and replaced them with the Norman Empire flags, the morale of the army became even lower. Listening to the cheers of the Normans, they could hardly form an army.

"General, we can now send reinforcements! As long as we send another three thousand elite troops, we will win this battle!" Seeing that his frontman had the advantage, in the back, next to General Ershi, several thousand commanders and guard knights moved, and persuaded him like this.

"Not sure...not sure."

However, General Ershi was not as optimistic as these people. The general had long seen it. Although the other party was suppressed for a while, the line was kept intact without any confusion. The key points around the city walls were not lost. There were still a large number of reserves. If the army on the front line was added at this time, the results of the battle could be expanded. But if you want to win at once, it would be small. The loss might be that the two armies fell into a war of attrition and both sides were injured.

"If that's the case, it's not a good thing to win..." General Ershi shook his head and finally made up his mind to attack for the second time. He made the next plan.

Seeing the enemy gaining the upper hand, the two generals of the army muttered in their hearts) were afraid that the Normans would make more reinforcements and turn this siege into a decisive battle‖, both generals also made the worst plans. They dispatched a large number of commanders into the city and ordered the remaining defenders in the city to prepare for battle. When necessary, they fought with the Normans to fight to the death.

However, while a group of commanders left to convey the orders of the coalition general, another horn sound came from the Norman army. After hearing this horn, the Normans who fought bravely with the coalition forces, whether they were the commanders, centurions or ordinary infantry, all acted quickly on the siege ladders, and they all went down the city. They retreated under the remote cover of the Normans.

"...What's going on? Did we win?" Seeing the enemy retreating generals gathered together, they looked at each other. They didn't know what to say. After a long time, Wallenstein reacted first and shouted "Victory!" Then, a weak cheer came from the top of Prague.

So, this tentative attack ended with a slight start and a slight end - the army regarded itself as the victorious side. The Norman Empire also obtained the data they wanted. In the next period of time, General Ershi, except for having something to do, it was like this time, sent a small number of troops to attack to weaken the coalition forces and physical strength. He was carrying out another task.

"Sixty-four-pound siege cannons" were once a flash in the siege in Jerusalem. Giant artillery, which mainly exists as a deterrent force. Now, in the Norman Navy, it has begun to be equipped - of course, only the largest and strong first-class ships can carry such giant artillery. In the army, such too huge and heavy artillery is almost completely invisible - precisely because it is too bulky and difficult to transport. Even a great empire like the Norman Empire, the standard equipment equipped by the army is only twenty-four-pound infantry cannons.

However, as an expert in attacking and proficient in the production of various siege weapons, General Ershi has a far greater understanding of this giant artillery than ordinary people. In fact, after hearing that he will preside over the attack on Bohemia and Austria, the general has already begun to plan his giant artillery plan.

First, he cast the entire cannons, then dismantled them into parts, and installed them on a special eight-horse-drawn carriage. He transported them in this way. After they were transported to the place, they had to assemble these things again. And some new parts needed to be replaced before they could be used.

If it was a normal field battle, the daylily would be cold after such a while. However, if it was a siege, it would be a different matter...

After a month of preparation, the coalition soldiers in Prague were surprised to find that the other side, the Norman soldiers, had transported a total of five giant bronze cannons. The huge cannon cannons could be loaded directly into one person and would be richer. Next to these cannons were 24-pound infantry cannons smaller - these originally ferocious weapons seemed small and insignificant in front of monster-like giant cannons. As for the twenty smaller mortar cannons behind the artillery array, they were even more inconspicuous...

In just one month, with General Ershi's continuous urging and efforts, the Mann Engineers worked day and night. Not only did they combine five 64-pound cannons, but they also cast several other standard cannons. In addition, the artillery originally owned by the Norman army, they suddenly formed such a terrible posture. Seeing dozens of black-hole cannons aiming at them, how could the coalition forces on the city not panic?!

"This is the artillery that appeared when attacking Jerusalem!" Many soldiers who participated in the Fourth Crusade changed their faces when they saw the giant cannons. When the Normans were fighting the Crusades, they tried their best to cast a cannon like this. Who would have thought that they would take out five giant cannons at once! Who could stop such a terrifying formation?!

Before the coalition soldiers finished sighing, the Man Empire was ready to shoot, ≤ 35 artillery fired one after another. The scene was extremely spectacular. Amid the loud bang, the soldiers in Prague only felt as if the sky had collapsed. Some people were even shattered by the slightest orifices, and even the internal organs were broken! Two 64-pound cannon shells were shot into the moat, and the waves raised directly hit the top of Prague, and even beat several panicked coalition soldiers running scattered in scattered!

Then there was the second round of shooting. A shell hit a tower of arrows. Then, amid the surprise shouts of a group of coalition soldiers, a big hole was punched in the middle of the tower, and an equally large hole appeared behind the hole. Then the bricks and stones next to the hole fell down. Then there was a "boom". The tower, which originally looked spectacular, was broken from the middle and fell into Prague City. It took the opportunity to press several unlucky ghosts who could not dodge into meat sauce, and smashed several surrounding houses into pieces...

A group of coalition soldiers, watching this scene for a long time, kept falling down...

However, when the coalition soldiers were all fools and could hardly move, outside the city, General Ershi was so angry that he cursed: "Where are you aiming at?! I want you to bombard the city gate. Do you understand the city gate? The city gate!!! It is too difficult to open the city wall with the current artillery technology, so in addition to the psychological deterrence effect, the most correct goal is to be the other party's city gate! The hardwood city gate!!!"

The engineers operating artillery were a little speechless when they heard General Ershi's roar. They also knew what targets should be attacked. However, the accuracy of this heavy artillery was a bit problematic. Moreover, they rarely used artillery of this specification. In addition, their luck was a little worse - a total of two rounds of bombardment, and none of the ten shells hit the target. Although it sounded idiotic, it was actually helpless.

"Forget it... be careful. Keep shooting." After scolding for a while, General Ershi felt helpless, so he waved his hand and ordered the engineers to continue. So the engineers immediately took action. He performed well and prepared for shooting within five minutes. When he was not sure whether it was scolded or the victory of the theory of probability, three of the five giant shells hit the opponent's city gate... (To be continued.
