Chapter 423

    The army of the kingdom of Damon gradually approached the city of Blanes. Although it was a marquis''s city, there were not many defense facilities in the city. Nord even saw that some walls had been in disrepair for a long time.


    Because there was no war between the oriro Kingdom and the Ximan kingdom before, the civilians and nobles in this land have been peaceful for a long time. Even if they participate in the battle, they also go to the western border thousands of miles away to fight with the kingdom of Sinai, and there is no need to renovate the towns in the north of the oriro kingdom.


    But it was too late for them to renovate this time. Nord didn''t give them time to prepare. You know, renovating the city wall is a very huge siege, and the ordinary Marquis can''t afford the cost. When recruiting soldiers, the repair of the city wall was already on the agenda.


    However, there are very few cities and towns in the whole north of the kingdom of oriro to renovate the city walls. It is not only a financial problem, but also after a long time of comfort, the nobles and civilians of the kingdom of oriro are aware of the seriousness of the problem and seriously underestimate the cruelty of the war.


    Now they can only bear the bitter fruit. Nord didn''t even have the mood to prepare the nest car. No matter how he looked at the wall in front of him, Nord found a gap in the wall and threw huge stones at the wall with a simple stone catapult.


    This simple catapult is a siege device recently invented by the kingdom of Damon. Just like the nest car, this siege device has long been put on the agenda and built, but the effect is not very ideal. Its power is far from the power of the catapult in Nord''s mind.


    At the beginning, a catapult could only throw a 50 kg stone 50 meters away. This distance was too close to play a role in the siege. Therefore, Nord asked these carpenters to improve all the time, but it didn''t work much, It was not until Nord recruited the gals mathematician from the tavern that he solved the problem for the carpenters.


    Although the structure of the catapult is simple, its technical content is not low. A single lever principle drives those carpenters crazy. They know this principle and how to use it, but they don''t understand what this principle is and how to play its greatest role.


    This is also the main reason for the close attack distance of the catapult. After goles joined the research of the catapult, the research of the catapult has become very rapid. Now the catapult can throw 100kg boulders on the wall 200 meters away, and its lethality can be said to have doubled.


    The most important thing is that the catapult can be easily disassembled and assembled, which allows Nord''s army to move with the catapult at any time. Unlike the nest car, the catapult has a bulky body and has no way to move. Its main body is a strong elastic wooden pile.


    Thanks to the convenience of the catapult, the siege means of the kingdom of Damon have become more complex and diverse. Both the catapult and the nest car have made the siege of the kingdom of Damon very simple. Before arriving at Blanes City, Nord didn''t even need to use the catapult, and the small towns of the Kingdom of Europe were broken by Nord.


    This battle is the first battle of the catapult. Nord also wants to see how powerful the catapult is. Before the catapult enters the position, Nord has to let the long-range troops escort the catapult. The distance of 200 meters has been within the range of the oriro Archer on the wall.


    First eliminate the archers on the city wall and leave room for the catapults. Nord doesn''t want his catapults to become big torches. Nord doesn''t want to happen to himself after the lesson to the kingdom of oriro last time.


    The battle of the long-range forces finally suppressed the oriro archers on the city wall by virtue of the number of people in the kingdom of Damon. Seeing the accurate archery of the oriro archers on the city wall, Nord had to be amazed. These oriro archers were no weaker than Nord''s elite archers in archery.


    The long-range troops of the kingdom of Damon have the advantage of equipment, while the oriro archers are protected by the city wall. The two sides can be said to be equal. Although the kingdom of Damon temporarily gained the upper hand and suppressed the oriro archers with the advantage of number of people, the loss is not less than them.


    Sure enough, the oriro archers standing on the wall can give full play to their real strength. Nord didn''t care too much about the casualties of the troops. After many battles, Nord''s heart slowly hardened. Nord''s eyes stopped blinking when he saw the deaths of hundreds of people.


    This is the necessity of war. There are no undead people in war. As long as their sacrifice is valuable, it may be the reason for their high power. Nord feels that he has become more indifferent. He should have regretted the death of hundreds of people. I don''t know when it has disappeared.


    Nord believed that he would not be hard hearted before. Nord really didn''t do it. I don''t know when to start. It was difficult for Nord to set off a wave in the hearts of the soldiers who died in the war, as if the innocence and kindness in his heart had disappeared.


    Maybe Nord has become more cold, or he is used to the death of soldiers. A sincere heart has become numb. Moreover, Nord''s affairs are very heavy now, and there is a grand small goal waiting for him to achieve. Now Nord doesn''t have so much time to be sentimental.


    In Nord''s calm eyes, twenty stone catapults came to the bottom of the city and were ready to go. With the debugging of the military craftsmen, hundreds of kilograms of boulders were loaded on the stone catapults. Then, at the command, the boulders fell on the wall of Blanes with the potential of thunder.


    The dilapidated city wall of Blanes can''t resist the impact of boulders. The threat of a hundred kilos of boulders falling from the sky stunned the enemies on the city wall. Where have these soldiers of the kingdom of Europe seen such a scene? The whole city wall was hit by boulders, and there was no place to hide.


    Because even hiding behind the city wall can avoid arrows, but this pair of huge stones is useless. Under the attack of several rounds of stone catapults, the city wall of Blanes almost collapsed, and huge stones are like inlaid in the city wall.


    Broken arms and limbs can be seen everywhere on the city wall, and some can''t even escape and be crushed into meat sauce by boulders falling from the sky. When Nord asked soldiers to attack the city wall, there were no soldiers on the city wall of Blanes.


    The Marquis Harris standing under the city wall had a dull look. Because of the angle of a huge stone, he flew to the city wall and crushed more than a dozen soldiers in front of him. The huge stone also crushed the Marquis Harris''s will to resist. He didn''t know what kind of enemy the oriro Kingdom had offended.


    However, marquis Harris understood that such an enemy could not be resisted by himself. Marquis Harris looked at the fragmented city wall with dull eyes. His heart was very helpless. The resistance he imagined before was only his wishful thinking for a period of time. He was not the opponent of the kingdom of de Mongolia at all. Blanes fell before a round.
