When the sun began to set at noon, the siege began again. The Sennod people still focused their attack on the west gate, and the other three walls were still feint attacks. They did not seek any merit, but only wanted to contain the defenders on those three walls.
The Sennod people gathered their trebuchets and continuously attacked the west gate wall. Firstly, they planned to use the trebuchets to open the gap that had just been blocked. Secondly, they also tried to see if they could open more holes in the wall.
Soon, the Sennodians knew that they had thought too much. There is of course a reason why Camelot has been able to stand for thousands of years. The attack of the trebuchet is completely useless against the walls of Camelot. There was no other way, the Sennods could only concentrate their firepower on the initial gap, and reopen the gap blocked by dead bodies and rocks.
The attack of the Senodians was so purposeful, which also gave Camelot ample time to prepare. When the trebuchet opened the gap again, all the heavy war equipment on the city wall concentrated their firepower on the Senods. Human trebuchet.
In this way, although the gap in the city wall was opened by the Sennods again, the life of the Sennods was not easy. The siege equipment they prepared was basically reduced to nothing under the concentrated attack of Camelot.
As a result, the Sennods' already poor long-range attacks were weakened even more. The battle can only be reduced to brutal hand-to-hand combat.
The pattern of war is, in the end, brutal fighting between people, and this will remain the same even in the future.
The Camelot people with their advantageous location clearly had an advantage in physical combat, and the Sennod people could only experience what happened last night again. They rushed into the gap and were first covered by a rain of arrows, and then were killed by heavy infantry in the gap. Finally, under Kai's strong charge, they could only retreat in despair.
This was repeated several times, and the war came to an end again after the sun set.
But unlike last night, the battle during the day was even more brutal. More than three thousand Sennodians fell forever near the gap. Camelot also suffered nearly a thousand casualties. More than thirty knights fell on the battlefield forever. The barricade was breached three times. If Kai hadn't turned the tide at the last moment and stabilized Camelot, Lot's heel, Ximen has long been declared lost.
This time the Senodians were repulsed, but the Camelot people were not happy.
The loss is too great. A full thousand casualties! Although half of them were temporarily recruited troops, this casualty was still a huge loss to the city of Camelot.
Especially the knights. There were only one hundred and fifty knights in the entire city of Camelot, and one-fifth of them were gone at this time. If the casualties of the soldiers below are bearable, the losses of the knights are a bit unacceptable. No matter what, this is still an era of knights. With knights, no matter what, the morale of the military and the people will still be backbone. If there are no knights, no one knows what the consequences will be.
Of course, it would only be worse for the Sennods. In just one day and one night, they lost five thousand people forever, and the number of wounded soldiers was even greater. If this situation continues, it is estimated that the Sennodians themselves will collapse in less than three days.
To put it simply, this day's battle was very painful for both sides.
…
"We can't continue this war." After Sennod returned to the camp, he quickly discussed with the nobles below, then found Morgause and told her their decision.
"No!" Morgause naturally couldn't let Senod give up like this.
"If there are no other variables, we will not be able to defeat this city at all. Do you know how many people we lost this day and night? Eight thousand casualties! How many more people do you think we will sacrifice? Don't forget, we are now even Even the west gate can't break through! Camelot still has the inner city, and the palace! We must withdraw our troops now, before the wealth plundered when we came can make up for our losses! You promised me before that you would give I create great opportunities, but now, I don’t see any chance at all!”
Does Sennold want to withdraw his troops? He didn't want to, he came with the intention of destroying Camelot. Because once troops are sent out, if Camelot is not completely defeated, there will definitely be a fight to the death between the two countries, and King Uther will never let go of Sennod. Therefore, Sennold had not thought about withdrawing his troops before.
But just one day later, Sennold's mind changed.
The casualties were too frightening. The key was that he saw no hope of breaking Camelot. Continuing would do no good except increase the casualties and deepen the hatred between the two countries. It’s better to stop now while it’s not a loss.
As for Camelot's revenge, Senod was not too worried. As long as he shrinks to his own territory, Camelot will not be able to deal with him easily. Although he could imagine that such a life would never be easy, it was still better than putting the entire country on the line.
Once the casualties exceed the limit that Sennod can bear, it will not only be Camelot who will cause trouble for him.
Morgause is not a general, let alone a politician. Of course she won't understand the twists and turns. Even if she does understand, she won't care. She didn't care how many people would be sacrificed by destroying Camelot. She is a witch and sees things from a completely different perspective than Sennold. In her opinion, as long as she can destroy Camelot and kill King Uther, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it. Those soldiers were worthless in her eyes, so they could be sacrificed at will.
"You disappoint me so much! Sennold!" Morgause looked at Sennold with disappointment. She felt that Sennold was completely in vain and was actually a coward.
Will Sennold change his mind because of Morgause's disappointment?
Obviously not!
"Then I would rather disappoint you, Morgause, than sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers." After saying this, Sennod planned to leave. He could understand that Morgause's values were different from his, so he knew that talking more would be useless. .
"Wait!" At this time, a sweet and sweet voice broke in.
When Sennold turned around, he found a woman even more beautiful than Morgause appeared next to Morgause. This woman has long black hair and a graceful figure. Her style is more charming than Morgause.
Cenoud will get involved with Morgause. In addition to his enmity with Camelot, Morgause's beauty also plays a big factor. This guy has good abilities and is a wise man, but being a wise man doesn't mean that he won't suffer from diseases. Anyway, throughout the ages, successful monarchs in the world have generally been people with strong desires. That kind of guy with a pure heart and few desires cannot be a good monarch.
"Who are you?" However, Sennold is not so low-level that he will turn into Brother Pig when he sees a woman. What's more, this woman can appear here unknowingly. She is definitely not an ordinary weak woman. , you also need to have a good eye to pick up girls.
