Lord of Riding and Slashing

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

Agree that the Wells family also understands this truth. As long as their family does not betray the Marquis of Stilwell, even if they behave too cruelly, other nobles will find it difficult to move him. Lead troops to plunder the villages of other nobles in the east.

Even the Earl of Wells, a town in the east, did not let go, let alone the central region. Ever since he found out that the Marquis of Merren was gone, the Earl of Wells started a blatant road of looting, not only Not only the small town of Caldera, but not even the surrounding villages were spared.

Along the way, Nord did not see a complete village. When passing by, he could only see the ruins of the village. There were still some villagers who had not left, hiding in the ruins and lingering. Seeing Nord's After the troops, they immediately hid in the ruins and disappeared, like a mouse that saw a human being.

Seeing such a scene, the anger in Nord's heart became more intense, and then he turned and left without disturbing the lives of these villagers, and went straight to the small town of Caldera, where Nord knew that the culprit who created everything was waiting there. look at yourself.

So after Nord came here, he started to attack without saying a word. Nord felt that he had nothing to say to this kind of person. People like this should go to hell. Now Nord is not even in the mood to spare their lives. No, what Nord saw along the way showed that the actions of this Eastland force were beyond words.

Seeing the Nord troops attacking in an orderly manner, no one answered Earl Wells' question, because they didn't know where the Nord troops came from, and the character of Earl Wells was also very unpredictable. Not good, my own life may be in danger.

Silence has become the way of dealing with the knights under Earl of Wells. They are used to such scenes. As long as they don't answer Earl Wells' questions, his temper will pass quickly, as long as some unlucky guy doesn't provoke him Words on the brow.

After looking around and finding that no one answered him, the Earl of Wells snorted coldly. He was well aware of the actions of these knights, but Earl Wells also understood that at this time, it is not at all necessary to find out where Nord came from. Important, the key is how to deal with their offense is the most important issue.

Although Earl Wells was brutal, his soldiers were also extremely fierce. Earl Wells' army was basically the strongest in the Eastern Region, and the other four Earl's troops were incomparable to him. The reason why the Earl of Wells has never been sanctioned is that his strong strength is also his arrogant capital.

Glancing at the troops below the city, the Earl of Wells calmly ordered his knights to start defending the city wall. The Earl of Wells, who is also very experienced in combat, knew that the enemy's troops below the city were no more than his own. It was definitely not the attack of Marquis Myron's troops.

Although he couldn't clearly see the flags of the enemy's troops, it was wishful thinking to break through the town he was defending just by relying on these numbers. Earl Wells sneered. A siege.

With the cavalry unable to play a role, the Earl of Wells arrogantly believed that even if the Marquis of Merren himself was present at the gate, he would not be unable to stop him with the current force. He had a very strong confidence in his own strength. Confidence, that's not what the Marquis de Mellen thinks.

However, Nord is not the Marquis of Myron. When his troops were ready to attack the city, Nord led the troops and slowly pushed down the city wall. De was not in a hurry at all, Nord had no intention of taking advantage of the soldiers on the city wall to catch them off guard.

As long as the soldiers on the city wall are not blind, they will be able to see the Nord troops coming from afar. An army of more than 1,000 people can barely be regarded as a dense mass of people. The Nord troops are basically infantry. It is very slow, and it would be impossible to engage in a surprise attack.

Coupled with the time when Nord was preparing the siege ladder, it was completely enough for the enemies on the city wall to make adequate preparations. Just like Earl Wells thought, Nord was also very confident in his troops. Nord's troops can easily defeat them.

Before the war started, the commanders-in-chief of the two armies were sure that their troops would win, but there was only one in the end with a smile, but I don’t know if they would be so optimistic when the battle started up.

It is still the strategy of letting the long-range troops consume the enemy first, but because of the reason for the siege, Nord, as the active attacking party, wants to wait for the enemy to enter the fire range of the long-range troops like the previous few times. something happened.

Before the Nord troops faced off, they had always adopted a defensive counterattack formation. They waited for the enemy to enter the attack range of the long-range troops before actively firing, and this fighting method was also very suitable for the Nord troops.

Because the troops that are all infantry do not have much impact, it is very difficult for troops that are mostly long-range to charge, so this siege battle will test the offensive capabilities of the troops. Just like the last battle at Christenburg, the losses were heavy.

You must know that the strength of the Nord army still had an absolute advantage at that time. Since Nord launched a surprise attack, the Krissen family did not have a chance to recruit cannon fodder soldiers from the territory, but even so, the Nord army was still a loss. heavy.

The proportion of casualties in that war was the highest in these wars. This is due to the fact that the offensive capabilities of the Nord troops are not so strong, but the more important thing is that the siege itself is very difficult. The blessing is too great.

The soldiers standing on the city wall look down on the enemy and 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 Can safely fight in it.

This is also the reason why all regions in the Cold Weapons Era built city walls in the places where they lived. The protective effect of the city walls is too great. From ancient times to the present, siege battles, no matter how large or small, must be extremely tragic battles.

Therefore, the ancients said that the summary of the art of war mentioned that the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. Generally, you will never attack the city until it is absolutely necessary, because even if you have an absolute advantage, it is very difficult to attack a city with resistance. It is also very difficult to build a strong city, and it will pay a heavy price.
