Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 312: Strongest in the East

The brutal Wells family is a loyal hound under Lord Stilwell, so no matter how unbearable the Wells family’s reputation, the Marquis Stilwell still values ​​them very much, because he also needs such a loyal dog under him to deter him. Other nobles under his men.

I agree that the Wells family also understands this truth. As long as their family does not betray Marquis Stilwell, even if they act too cruelly, other nobles will find it difficult to move him. The Wells family with a backstage is also unscrupulous in the east, often Lead troops to raid other noble villages in the east.

Even the Earl of Wells, a town in the east, has not let go, let alone the central region. Since discovering that the Marquis of Mellen is gone, the Earl of Wells has embarked on a blatant looting. Only the small town of Caldera, not even the surrounding villages were spared.

Along the way, Nord did not see a complete village. When passing by, only the ruins of the village could be seen. Vaguely some villagers did not leave, hiding in the ruins, lingering and panting, seeing Nord’s After the troops, they immediately hid in the ruins and disappeared, like a mouse that saw a human being.

After seeing this scene, the anger in Nord's heart became even more fierce, and then turned and left, without continuing to disturb the lives of these villagers, and went straight to the small town of Caldera. Nord knew that the culprit who made everything was there and waiting. With oneself.

So after Nord came here, he attacked without saying a word. Nord felt that he had nothing to say with this kind of people. Scum beasts like this should go to hell. Now Nord is even in the mood to spare their lives. No more, the sights that Nord saw along the way showed that the actions of this Eastern Border Force were simply exhaustive.

Seeing the orderly offensive of Nord’s troops under the city, no one answered Earl Wells’s question, because they didn’t know where Nord’s troops came from, and Earl Wells’ character was also very unpredictable. If there is an answer If you don't, your own life may be unsafe.

Silence became the response of Earl Wells's knights. They were used to such scenes. As long as they didn’t answer Earl Wells’ questions, his temper would soon pass, as long as no one hapless provokes him. Words on the brow.

After looking around and finding that no one answered him, Earl Wells snorted. He knew the actions of these knights well, but Earl Wells also understood that at this time, he didn’t know where Nord came from. Important, the key is how to deal with their offense is the most important issue.

Although Earl Wells was brutal, correspondingly, the soldiers under his command were also extremely fierce. The forces of Earl Wells were basically the strongest in the East, and the forces of the other four earls were incomparable to him. This is also true. The reason why Earl Wells has not been sanctioned, the strong strength is also his arrogant capital.

Taking a look at the troops under the city, Earl Wells calmly ordered his knights to start defending on the wall. Earl Wells, who has a wealth of combat experience, knew that the enemy forces under the city were just as good as his own. It was definitely not an attack from the Marquis of Mellen.

Although he could not see the banner of the enemy troops, he wanted to break through the town he was holding on with these numbers. It was a wishful thinking. Earl Wells sneered. In the same number of people, he has not lost yet, let alone still. A siege war.

With the cavalry unable to play a role, Earl Wells arrogantly believed that it was the Marquis Myron himself who was in the city. With the current strength, he was not unable to stop him. He had a very strong influence on his own strength. Confidence, when the Marquis of Remellen didn't think so.

However, Nord is not the Marquis of Myron. When his troops are ready to attack the city, Nord will slowly advance his troops under the city wall. De was not in a hurry. Nord had no intention of beating them off guard when the soldiers on the wall were not firmly established.

As long as the soldiers on the wall are not blind, they can see the Nord troops coming from afar. The army of more than a thousand people can barely be regarded as an overwhelming crowd. The Nord troops are basically infantry. Very slow, something that would be impossible if you want to make a surprise attack.

Coupled with the period of time Nord is preparing for the siege ladder, it is completely enough for the enemies on the wall to prepare adequately. Just like Earl Wells thought, Nord is also very confident in his own troops and faces the same number. The enemy, Nord’s troops can easily defeat them.

Before the war began, the commanders of the two troops had a certainty of victory for their troops, but there was only one at the end with a smile. I just don’t know if they would be so optimistic when the battle started. NS.

It is still the strategy of letting the long-range troops consume the enemy first, but because it is the reason for the siege, Nord, as the active attacker, wants to wait for the enemy to enter the range of the long-range troops' firepower several times before. Things are up.

Previously, when the Nord forces faced off, they had always adopted a defensive counterattack formation. They waited until the enemy entered the attack range of the long-range forces before they took the initiative to fire~www.readwn.com~ and this kind of combat method is also very suitable for Nord. German troops.

Because all infantry troops don’t have much impact, it’s very difficult to charge more than half of the long-range troops, so this siege will test the offensive ability of the troops very much. It is very likely. It was as heavy as the last battle at Christenburg.

We must know that the strength of Nord’s forces at that time still occupies an absolute advantage. Because Nord launched a surprise attack, the Criesen family did not have almost the opportunity to recruit cannon fodder soldiers from the territory, but even so, Nord’s troops were also lost. heavy.

The proportion of casualties in that battle was the highest among these wars. Among them, the Nord’s offensive capabilities were not so strong, but more importantly, the siege itself was very difficult. The blessing is too big.

Soldiers standing on the city wall looking at the enemy condescendingly have a sense of superiority, which can effectively improve the morale of the soldiers, and the tall city wall can also give the soldiers a strong sense of security. The city wall is their solid shield, allowing the soldiers Able to fight in it safely and steadily.

This is also the reason why in the Cold Weapon Era, various regions coincided with each other and built city walls where they lived. The protective effect of city walls was so great. From ancient times to the present, siege wars regardless of scale must be extremely fierce battles.

Therefore, the ancients said that the summary of the art of war mentioned that attacking the city is the bottom, and the heart is the top. Generally, you will never attack the city when it is not a last resort, because even if it has an absolute advantage, it is very resistant to attack. A strong city is also very difficult, and it will also pay a painful price.
