Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 42: The Walled City
The barbarian commander appointed specific generals, and soon the scattered barbarian troops around formed a new organization.
The hesitant barbarians quickly gathered under a wolf flag.
Almost one-third of the barbarian troops in this invasion gathered under a small town.
The head wolf Enrique did not rush to attack, but waited for all the troops to arrive, surrounded them from front to back, and made it clear that he wanted to kill them all.
Baron Palmer stood next to Derek. He rushed in the day before he was surrounded.
Obviously, in order to have a future, Baron Palmer has fought hard.
Derek certainly would not refuse more forces, even if there was only one hundred men, it might be useful at a critical moment.
However, seeing the overwhelming army outside the city, Baron Palmer's legs trembled a little.
To be honest, he suddenly regretted it.
"Knight Derek, if I can go back alive, I must introduce my daughter to you."
Derek looked at Baron Palmer in surprise, and saw that his expression was serious and he was not joking at all.
But it's normal to think about it. His performance is a potential stock, so it's normal for people to take notice of him.
"Baron, let's wait until we all survive."
As the number of barbarians increases, it's impossible for Derek to say that he has no worries.
However, he chose this place as a base, not only because of the good location, but also because the city wall is relatively solid.
As a small town, the rare stone city wall is enclosed, which looks decent.
With more than 2,000 people in his hands, Derek is confident that he can knock the barbarians out.
"Here we go!"
As the two were talking, the barbarians had already started to move.
This simple city wall has no protection like corner towers, and even the parapet is very low, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
So Derek wisely brought a team of sword and shield soldiers to act as a defense.
The barbarians obviously lacked experience in siege, and they swarmed up in a swarm without sustainability.
Derek observed for a while, and simply adjusted the layout, and then let the grassroots officers take command.
However, Baron Palmer found it difficult to understand that he deliberately weakened the defense of the city wall.
"With insufficient manpower, won't it be easy to be breached?"
"I have arranged a reserve team on the inside, so if there is an unexpected situation, it can be compensated in time.
And defense is not to send people up in a swarm. It will be too crowded and it will be difficult to display.
Only with clear levels can the barbarian soldiers be strangled more efficiently.
The most important point... I deliberately showed weakness to the enemy."
Derrick explained patiently. From the past few days of getting along, Baron Palmer is a person who can be deeply befriended. He doesn't mind revealing some simple military knowledge.
As for showing weakness to the enemy, of course, it is to lure the barbarians to add fuel a little bit, and by the way, lower their vigilance.
Especially the southern wall where he stood, it was deliberately weakened by three points.
And within the wall, even during such a tense battle, a large number of captives and townspeople who were temporarily recruited continued to work.
If there is not enough material, then demolish the house.
If there is not enough people, force them.
Derrick will not talk to them about human rights. At this time, the sword is the truth.
This was also what Baron Palmer found difficult to understand, but he wisely did not ask any more questions.
Just watch, no matter how many back-ups Derek arranged, they would be exposed sooner or later.
Enrique, the head wolf, was also watching the battle at the South Gate. He felt a headache when he saw his soldiers attacking without any rules.
"Haven't these guys suffered enough from the Rockman? We must train them well after we go back so that they can learn how to attack the city."
In fact, the upper-level barbarian generals have consciously cultivated the ability to attack the city. Entering the inherent power circle of the three southern countries, the defense of various cities is very complete, and the cost of strong attack is very high.
However, the barbarian kingdom, which has just completed political reforms, has not been able to form a regular army. These soldiers from various tribes can do nothing except swinging blades to chop people.
Enrique watched for a while and found that the Rockman's combat effectiveness was still good, and the attacking barbarians suffered losses quickly.
This is in line with the usual level of the Rockman, but... it is not enough.
"At most three days, the pile can open the city gate."
He watched for a while and made such a confident judgment.
Then he sent his personal guards to guide the siege on the front line.
Although there was still no technical content, at least the command was much smoother, and the continuous pressure was like a wave.
Instead of rushing up in a swarm, blocking the city wall in a swarm, and giving away lives for nothing.
"Maybe, it won't take three days."
Enrique muttered, he was already thinking about the next opponent.
The Rockman in front of him was at most a group of aggressive scabies, which could be cleaned up quickly. As for the saying that the commander-in-chief thought it was Rockman's bait, isn't the bait eaten in one bite just feeding?
On the first day, the barbarians lost four or five hundred lives, but they also tested the weakest part of the South Gate.
On the second day, Enrique adjusted the main attack direction. The barbarian soldiers rushed up the city wall several times, but unfortunately they were driven out by Rockman again.
Everyone, including Enrique, felt that it was almost time.
On the third day, Enrique deliberately sent the guard 100-man team up, intending to break through the city in one go.
But it was still a breath away.
An accident, this must be an accident, it will only take another day at most.
Enrique already felt the pressure.
On the fourth day, he even beheaded several deserters himself, but the crumbling city wall was still there.
Megaman always seemed to be about to collapse at any time, but he never stopped breathing and survived every time.
He had realized that this might be a trap set by Megaman.
The barbarian base camp had asked many times, and Enrique could only answer: "Soon! Soon!"
He didn't believe how long Megaman could hold on. He still had seven or eight thousand people in his hands, and the other side had suffered heavy losses in the past few days. How many people could be left?
You could pile up a group of people with human lives.
In the city, the building presided over by Derek had taken shape, which was a shape that Palmer had never seen before.
When he saw a large pile of firewood and flammable materials piled up in the city, he seemed to understand Derek's intention.
But what impressed him more was Derek's on-the-spot command.
If he hadn't been standing next to the other side, he would have been deceived.
In the past few days, the number of soldiers lost was actually less than expected.
Derrick used the militiamen he had conscripted to train and mix them with the regular army to stand on the city wall.
It looks like more than a thousand people were lost, but the actual loss was only one-third.
Militia?
Sorry, no one cares about the civilians who are not part of the organization.
And the training skills are amazing. It has only been ten days since they entered the town, but many militias have already taken on a basic appearance.
The combat effectiveness is not guaranteed, but at least they can hold weapons.
So, the barbarians thought that the Rockers had run out of ammunition and food, but in fact the situation was much better than they imagined.
