Originally, Rostislav thought that when his grandfather rejected Aral's peace talks, the Chud people would soon cause chaos and throw his head out, but three days passed without any chaos in the mountain fortress.
After interrogating the deserters who escaped from the mountain fort, they found out that Alar directly slaughtered all the invaders and took over their army. No one in the mountain fort dared to resist Alar.
Rostislav couldn't help but sigh that this man was so ruthless and so decisive.
However, the relatives of the murdered person will definitely fight him to the death, but for him, the situation has become so tense now that there is no need to worry about it anymore. The consequences are for the living to consider, not the dead.
The Chude people's failure to engage in internal strife made the coalition a little disappointed, but it was just a small loss. This was just a casual move by the wise man. The preparations for attacking the enemy never stopped. So far, the coalition has created a large number of
There are long ladders and shields, and three ballistas are also set up, so they can launch attacks at any time.
And that day came soon.
Rostislav rode his horse and stood among the officials behind his grandfather and uncle. They all looked like armored warriors, and in front of them, a siege was taking place.
The heavy rain of arrows and javelins tilted on the ground, but it could only make a "bang bang" sound when inserted into the alliance's shield. The soldiers pushed the large shield forward steadily, and the archers behind the shield kept pointing at
Shoot upward from the city wall to suppress the enemy's shooters as much as possible.
The huge dragon-like siege vehicle was the focus of the defenders' attack. The flaming arrows drew bright lines of fire in the sky, but the wet fur on the siege vehicle's guard extinguished the possibility of raging flames.
Behind the siege vehicles was a military formation with turtle shells. Their shields and armor protected their bodies to the greatest extent, and only a few unlucky ones fell down after being hit.
When the siege engines crash through the city gates, this force will give Chud's defenders a thunderous blow.
The mobile shield quickly arrived under the city wall. The high and deep trench had been filled by the Russians with sand, debris and even corpses in the past month. It was no longer an obstacle to the attack.
The archers behind the shield exchanged shots with the enemies on the city wall in an orderly manner. After stopping, the efficiency of the archers rose to a higher level, and the arrows shot out at an angle even suppressed the city wall for a time.
The archduke's ballista also began to unleash its power, and the stone bullets that had been waiting for a long time were fired at the command of the Greek engineer. Even if they hit the city wall, they would stir up countless ashes and debris, and if they hit a person, they would directly turn that person into ashes.
Blood mist, and whenever the blood mist suddenly appeared on the city wall, the coalition's military formation would erupt into exclamations and cheers.
The two monarchs and their entourage acted very calmly. After all, they were both people who had seen the big world, especially Harald. When he fought for the imperial army in the past, he had seen countless advanced terrorist equipment.
.
It was at this time that the Ross and Norwegian infantry began to attack.
Soldiers wearing only civilian clothes carried ladders and moved forward with long ladders under the yells and curses of soldiers with better protection. From time to time, some people were shot down by arrows, but someone quickly took their place.
Since the archers diverted a large part of the enemy's attention, the infantry who attacked the city wall were able to reach the city wall with relatively small casualties, set up ladders, and then followed a fierce and cruel battle to climb the wall.
The first climbers were a group of brave soldiers. They easily scaled the city wall with their thick armor and easily defeated the weak archers. However, the Chude people quickly put in a large number of reserves. On the narrow city wall, the soldiers
If we are blocked like this, it will be difficult to open up the situation for a while.
The Norwegian side opened up the situation. Harald's elites fought on the city wall with fearless attitude. That scene reminded Rostislav of the story of the Nordic Berserker. Any fool who dared to stand in front of him would be killed.
Paying the price of blood for stupidity, the King of Norway looked at this bloody scene with eyes full of appreciation.
Some Norwegians even climbed down the city walls and fought with the Chuds in the streets.
On the other side, the siege vehicle has arrived at the heavily defended city gate and entered the killing zone facing attacks from all directions. Various arrows and javelins were inserted into it one after another. The military formation behind it did not dare to enter. The veteran warrior
We know very well that even with armor and shields, it is difficult to stay alive in the killing zone.
Facing the city wall made of hardwood, as the soldiers chanted in unison, the huge battering ram was mercilessly loaded on the city gate, and the entire city gate trembled under that heavy blow.
The soldiers did not stop, and soon hit the city gate again.
The heavy blows of the battering ram were like thunder striking the hearts of the Chude people. Every blow made them tremble with fear, but they could do nothing about it.
Finally, when the gate was completely broken open by the powerful blow of the battering ram, thunderous cheers rang out from the coalition formation, and correspondingly, the Chude people wailed.
The military formation immediately disintegrated. Countless soldiers poured into the city along the broken city gate. Their hearts were full of desire for glory and wealth. These desires prompted them to fight harder and harder. A large number of fighting sounds and screams came from the door.
The shield wall of the Chude people failed to stop the fanatical coalition soldiers, but the shield wall was broken open by the fanatical "boar's head" like a surging wave.
The defenders retreated awkwardly along the streets inside the mountain fort, with the attackers chasing after them. The battle now moved to the streets. All the Chud defenders on the city wall fled down the city wall without looking back. The flags of the coalition forces
It has become so unshakable that it is floating above the city.
"I thought this mountain fortress in Arar could hold on for a while, but it's only how long it is now."
Harald complained dissatisfiedly, they had been preparing for so long, and now the enemy is like this?
"Rostislav."
The Grand Duke ignored his son-in-law's complaints and called his grandson's name.
"Grand Duke, I am here."
Rostislav responded quickly. He had never expected that his grandfather would call him. What was his grandfather calling him for? Then he thought of a possibility and became inexplicably nervous.
"Bring the black hat army into the city. I want to see Aral's head."
Rostislav immediately understood the meaning. He was asked to win the first prize in this battle. This meant that his grandfather was testing himself!
"Yes! Grand Duke, I will definitely bring Aral's head!"
Rostislav responded and immediately rode away.
He was not only thinking about his grandfather's test, but also about some personal matters of his own - if he was lucky, he might be able to get the news of his father's death from that Alar.
