Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 883

After the army of the Principality of Winchester crossed the city walls and gates and entered the interior of the castle, their actions were not smooth, at least completely different from their ideals.All kinds of guerrilla harassment have greatly slowed down their progress, and if it is just this kind of harassment, it is nothing, but when there is always a solid building in front of the enemy that is used as a defensive stronghold, it is really It's very annoying.

These small fortresses are like nails nailed to the road, and they must be pulled out one by one.Although the loss of troops caused by the capture of these small fortresses is not large, it often takes a lot of time.

This is a very nasty practice.In fact, the approach of the defenders of Delinburg is basically meaningless in the usual battle of defending the city.At most, it is just delaying the time of defeat, and it will never be possible to change the result that the city will be breached.However, they didn't continue to think that they could hold Delinburg with their own strength. Their biggest goal was to delay time, and everything could be delayed until tomorrow morning.Just for the purpose of delaying time, the things that the Delinburg defenders are doing now are obviously very successful.Until the sun was about to set, the Winchesters hadn't advanced within the scope of the inner castle, let alone occupied the landmark building in the deepest part of the castle-Derlin Tower.

As the sun went down, the Winchesters' offensive paused for a moment.Today, their army has also been fighting since the morning, and they are also very tired.After the night fell, it was time to rest after a day of fighting.The logistics began to cook, distribute bread and hot soup, and after a full meal, the soldiers were ready to go to rest.

After lying down for a while, at most half an hour, when the sky was completely dark, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, which was the call for assembly.

The soldiers regrouped with complaints, but in the darkness, the Duke of Winchester himself was standing on a temporary wooden platform under the illumination of the mage.When the soldiers were almost assembled, His Royal Highness began to speak.What he said was nothing special, just a pre-war mobilization.

The Duke of Winchester's speech level is not bad. Naturally, such a leader will not be stage frightened in front of everyone, and his impassioned speeches can also arouse the morale of the soldiers under normal circumstances.However, all of this is of no use, especially the core idea of ​​his speech is to encourage the soldiers to continue attacking the inner castle of Delinburg overnight.

Many of the soldiers were exhausted after a whole day of fighting.If you want them to fight overnight, no matter how eloquent they are, it is impossible to appease their grievances.

His Royal Highness the Duke himself has also discovered this, and it is not difficult, just look at the expressions of the soldiers below.He was a little angry. In his opinion, these soldiers were simply too tired.It's just that he didn't think about it, it was these grassroots soldiers who fought all day today, not himself!

The angry Duke, too lazy to say anything more, directly gave the order to attack.

Under his orders, what can these grassroots soldiers say?He could only follow his officer full of resentment, start forming a team, and then walked towards the inner castle.

The inner fort also has a section of the city wall.Delinburg is a typical aristocratic castle, not an ordinary city. A large part of its original use was military.There are also civilians in the castle, but these civilians are attached to the vicinity of the castle and the outer fort.The inner castle is the residence of nobles and personal servants, as well as a large number of military installations.Therefore, although the inner fort is not big, its defense is not weak.At least, it might not be easy for the Winchesters to light torches overnight to completely capture the inner fort, especially when the morale of these ordinary soldiers is actually very low.

Although the army of the Principality of Winchester still launched an attack on the inner castle under the strong order of the Grand Duke, the battle lasted until midnight, but no results were seen.His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, who was furious, rode a horse to the front line to supervise the battle, and then finally reluctantly let the soldiers continue to attack. It was not until almost midnight that the inner fort was captured.But at this moment, no matter how much the Duke of Winchester urged, the soldiers couldn't muster up their strength to attack.The whole day's fighting is really too hard, and the soldiers are all flesh and blood. Being able to fight from the morning to the middle of the night can almost be said to be quite exhausted. This is not the normal state of war. At this time, if there is no rest, no one can continue to fight.

In desperation, the Grand Duke of Winchester could only order the whole army to rest.This war lasted for a whole day and half a night, and finally it was time for a temporary lull.

Calculated according to the time, it is almost two o'clock in the middle of the night now.The defenders of Delinburg actually suffered a lot of losses. Less than 600 soldiers returned to the inner fort. When the inner fort was occupied by the Winchesters, there were only three or four hundred soldiers left.Compared with the 2000 people at the beginning of the war, it can almost be said that the entire army was wiped out.And there are only more than 300 fighters left, all of them have assembled and retreated under the earl's tower, ready to fight the enemy for the final desperate fight.

In fact, the defenders of Delinburg were basically at the end of their ropes. If the fight continued, whoever would collapse first might.After the Winchesters occupied the inner fort, they did not march towards the tower. Everyone, including Chen Ning, couldn't help but shouted luck after seeing this scene.

This night, finally, can pass safely.

Most of the soldiers have already started to rest.The day's battle was so exhausting that some soldiers even held their weapons and fell asleep while leaning against a wall or stone before taking off their armor.The ordinary soldiers fell asleep, but Chen Ning and Blamack couldn't.There must be someone in charge who can stay awake, lest the Winchesters suddenly launch a night attack, and if everyone falls asleep, how can we deal with it?And Chen Ning has one more important thing. After most of the people had rested, he approached Earl Delin again, and used psychic powers to consolidate the magic effect of the psychic suggestion so that the effect of the spell would not slow down over time. After the slow subside, what will happen to Earl Delin who has regained his will.
