Chapter 121 Siege
When the huge bodies of the ladder and the catapult appear on the ground, no matter how dull they are, they will notice that something is wrong.

In the palace, King Andri was still waiting for the good news that the city-state had accepted the surrender.

This aging king still feels that he is full of energy and thinks he can live a long life. He is sitting in the study and has just returned from hunting in the Wangjialin Garden. His clothes are soaked in sweat.

King Andrew, who was in a better mood, rang the bell and summoned the accompanying court boy, who was a castrated boy. He pushed open the half-covered door of the study and knelt down in front of King Andrew.

"Go and invite the priest of the palace." King Andri paused, "I asked him about the prophecy yesterday."

The boy servant took the order, got up and left.

Not long after, in the splendid palace, the priest of the palace walked hurriedly. Under the leadership of the boy servant, he passed through exquisite statues and gorgeous pools one by one.

The priest of the palace was so excited that it was hard to describe. The prophecy that King Andri asked yesterday was when the Shanbu people would return to the world. Or just know it's a long way off.

But this time, the palace priest received a completely clear answer.

He didn't wait for the boy servant to enter the study, but pushed open the half-hidden door, and half-kneeled in front of King Andri.

"Priest, why are you in such a hurry?" King Andri asked suspiciously.

According to common sense, it should be the boy servant who pushed the door first, and then brought the priest outside the door into the study after receiving King Andri's will, but this time it was uncharacteristically.

"Your Majesty, it is only because I have received the prophecy that I will be favored by my lord." The palace priest said excitedly.

When King Andri heard it, he straightened up immediately, his beard and hair were trembling, and his Adam's apple shrugged, "Say, tell me quickly."

The priest of the palace stroked his throat, and said the original sentence in a trembling voice: "In three days, the world will fall."

"Three days." King Andri was stunned for a moment, "How did our giant tower be built in three days?"

"Your Majesty, the Lord's will transcends everything and is unfathomable," said the palace priest loudly: "Perhaps the time is right, our beloved Lord of Suffering will come to this hell, let the giant tower be built in one day, and bring us back to the world. Your Majesty, all this It is your wise rule and endless piety day after day that moved the heavens."

"Praise my lord, your humble and pious servant, Andrei, begs for your mercy all the time." Hearing the priest's words, King Andrey couldn't hold back. He raised his hands, made three consecutive rites of suffering, and recited sutras Wen sincerely prayed.

The priest took out the incense, lit it, put it in front of him, knelt down completely, and recited scriptures with King Andri.

Just as King Andri was intoxicated in praying over and over again, the sound of hurried and continuous footsteps suddenly resounded in the spacious corridor of the palace.

In order to avoid disturbing his prayer, King Andri waved his hand to signal the boy servant to go out and stop him.

The boy servant didn't make a sound, and he didn't dare to disturb the prayer. After slightly nodding his head, he left the study lightly and stopped the people who had an audience with the king.

Then, although the footsteps outside the study stopped, King Andri still heard some impatient voices wandering in place. His face turned slightly angry, and he realized that he was still praying, and he had to empty his mind and wait for him with piety. Holy Lord of Suffering.

After a long time, the priest stood up first, and then King Andri stood up slowly.

"Priest, I'll go and see who it is." After King Andri finished speaking, he opened the door of the study and walked out.

He pulled up the hem of the royal robe, and saw the captain of the guards in armor.

Seeing King Andri, the captain of the imperial guard hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, under the city wall, under the city wall"

"What happened under the city wall?" King Andri took the scepter from the boy servant.

"Enemy, there are enemies attacking the city!"

King Andri was slightly taken aback, it was too unreal, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he didn't feel much nervous.

The last time the capital was besieged was a noble rebellion a hundred years ago, which lasted only half a year, and agreed to the reconciliation terms of the former king, and then was defeated by the former king's surprise attack on the way back to the fief.

"What enemy, did you say the wrong thing?"

"Your Majesty is really the enemy attacking the city, the traitor of Alan Biyin!"

The captain of the imperial guards in front of him repeated it several times in a panic and loudly. King Andri froze in place, his pupils widened.

"Alan Biin. Alan Biin Merun, the one named Merun! Tell him to defend the city! He knows the slaves."

In the past hundred years, no soldiers have come to the city, so it is conceivable that the defense of the royal capital is loose.

The man was stationed at the bottom of the hillside, and he took a lookout tube to carefully measure the height of the city wall, lest the ladder was too short to climb the city wall. He saw that the height of the city wall was not much different from the year he left. If it is a few meters high, it should be a few meters high. There are even corners missing in places.

Even so, the thickness of the city wall is still breathtaking. In order not to waste the siege catapults, the man ordered the man to move the counterweight trebuchet after only two throws, and then pushed it onto the battlefield after finding a weak point in the city wall.

The horns and trumpets were blown by the leading soldiers, and the soldiers of the city-state legion erected the bundles of wooden battens, carried the battle shields on their backs, and pushed each of the anti-arrow shields to the front. The purpose is to prevent the battle shield from being filled with feathered arrows, which will be too heavy and affect the battle.

The ladder appeared outside the city wall of the capital, and the defenders were in chaos. They hurriedly organized sparse defenses, scattered stones and arrows whizzed past, and rumbled on the ladder cart.

In addition to the tall and square ladder carts, the advancing infantry also had several small long ladders and battering rams. They marched bravely, and more than a hundred meters behind them, soldiers and servants built row after row of fences for To protect the archers from arrows, as the one-meter-high fence was put in place, the archers raised their right hands and fastened their bowstrings and feather arrows under Kervin's order.

They aimed at the chaotic defenders on both sides of the ladder car, and after giving an order, hundreds of feathered arrows flew out, densely packed, covering a small piece of sky, covering the city wall, oppressing those defenders. The army dared not step forward and further create chaos.

"Have the scouts returned? Which section of the city wall is thinner?!"

The man clenched his sword hilt and stared nervously at the situation in front of him. He stood outside the tent behind the archers. The tall Keke personally went up to the front to supervise the battle. Cassel was mobilizing the cavalry to guard the trebuchet. To the south was There are city gates, and the battering ram is slowly approaching there.

At this moment, the defenders of the capital are in chaos, and the enemy is caught off guard, which is why they are advancing so smoothly. Once they reorganize their defense, their siege pressure will increase several times.

And as long as you find a weak wall, after the trebuchet smashes it, the pressure on your side's siege will be much less.
