Fei’s pupils quickly contracted when he saw that. The six trebuchets were lethal siege machines. They were much more threatening than the siege ladders. Once they got within 200 yards (m) of the defensive wall, regardless of how firm and strong the defensive wall was, it would be blown apart. The defensive wall of Chambord and the less than one thousand soldier army would be wiped out in less than twenty boulder throws by the trebuchets.
The enemy’s commander had definitely put a lot of resources into this siege, so he wanted to conquer Chambord Castle today.
“Those wooden walls were made in a rush, and there are still green leaves on the wood. However, the six trebuchets couldn’t have been made quickly, but they’ve never appeared in the sieges before…… Did the enemies get some reinforcements?”
Fei licked his lip subconsciously as he thought about that.
There was no way that Chambord could defend against that. Once the enemies began their siege, the wooden walls could easily block the rain of arrows and get the trebuchets into range. Chambord seemed to be doomed. This was an unequal warfare.
Aside from the huge gap in the strength between the enemies and them, the enemy’s commander was also very careful and sneaky. He knew that Chambord didn’t have too many soldiers, so he focused on that weakness. Brook and the others couldn’t come up with any strategies that could break open the ‘cage’ that Chambord was in.
Fei frowned as he evaluated the situation. Brook was observing Fei’s expression. He was about to say something, but he held himself back.
