Marquis Stilwell looked up at a falcon flag flying on the city wall. He became more and more familiar with the black-and-white Eagle heraldry. He seemed to have heard of the family, but he didn''t remember it for a while, but since he had an impression in his heart, it showed that his opponent was not an unknown generation.
Marquis Stilwell''s eyes narrowed, and then ordered his soldiers to launch a second attack, but this time the scale increased. He sent 500 people to attack the city, of which 200 were regular soldiers, and each soldier was still holding a shield.
Thanks to the habit he had formed before, he had to prepare some shields before fighting with the kingdom of seaman, so there was no exception this time. Moreover, someone suggested to him that this time he was fighting with the Lord of the Principality of Bethel, and there was no need to prepare shields at all.
However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the Marquis of Stilwell. I don''t know whether it was because of caution or because he had an ominous premonition in his heart, so the Marquis of Stilwell made a shield, which might be useful against this unknown enemy.
Sure enough, it''s used now, but Marquis Stilwell regretted that there were too few shields made before. Only more than 200 shields have been issued, and Marquis Stilwell also ordered the troops behind to make shields immediately to deal with the next battle.
At this moment, marquis Stilwell felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he had some precautions against the enemy who didn''t play cards according to the routine. After all, how dare he provoke a marquis if he didn''t have two brushes? If he hadn''t made these shields yesterday, marquis Stilwell probably wouldn''t know how to collect today''s battle. If he went back so disheartened, The morale of the troops is also greatly damaged.
Marquis Stilwell now wants to give the noble who advised him not to build a shield a good meal with his whip. If he had listened to his advice at that time, it is estimated that today''s attack would have ended. With such a big posture, he farted and ran away. Marquis Stilwell can''t afford to lose this man.
The shield was being made tightly behind, but Marquis Stilwell paid more attention to the situation under the wall. These more than 500 troops soon pushed under the wall. Because they were holding shields, they were more or less at ease. Only after entering 100 meters and seeing the death of their comrades in arms, these soldiers in the east gradually filled their feet.
The corpse at their feet told these soldiers in the East that they had entered the edge of death from this moment, which made them have to be treated carefully. These soldiers tightly huddled their bodies behind the shield for fear that they would become corpses at their feet.
Looking at the timid soldiers in the East under the city wall, Nord did not misestimate his strength this time. He still used 50 archers to deal with the current situation as last time. Nord was a little greedy. Nord didn''t want to expose his strength when he saw that the Marquis Stilwell''s army had not moved.
Even if this may cause the enemy to rush up the wall, Nord believes that with these 500 soldiers, it is impossible to conquer his wall. For wealth and danger, Nord plans to gamble. Just like an expert, the person who takes the lead in showing his cards is likely to lose.
Nord doesn''t scatter eagles when he doesn''t see rabbits. Now the firepower of the 50 archers has no ability to stop the enemy from attacking the city wall. Although the archers have also brought great damage to the enemy this time, it''s easy to concentrate the enemy''s key points, especially the head. As long as the soldiers attacking the city look up at the road, they will inevitably suffer from the tricky arrows of the archers.
Even with a shield, it is difficult to prevent the accurate shooting of archers within 100 meters. If you observe carefully, you will find that almost half of the soldiers who fell under the city wall died of fatal injuries caused by the passage of bows and arrows through their eyes.
Therefore, the role of the shield can only prevent bows and arrows from afar. It is basically impossible to prevent at such a close distance. However, the soldiers sent from the East are very determined to fight this time. Even if their comrades in arms continue to fall, they did not shrink back at all. It seems that the last failure made Marquis Stilwell do the ideological work of the soldiers.
With the advantage of number and firm will, the soldiers in the East finally boarded the city wall. Nord did not prepare rolling stones and other sharp tools to defend the city, mainly because the city wall is too low. Compared with the ancient city wall of more than ten meters high, the city wall of caldera is too low, Rolling wood and stones don''t play much role at all.
Therefore, these soldiers in the east only enjoy the baptism of arrow rain, and then smoothly climb the city wall. Compared with the peak siege and all kinds of defense means in previous generations, these soldiers in the East under the city are really very happy.
However, as soon as these soldiers in the East boarded the city wall, they received a big gift package from Nord. There were many heartless spears waiting for them on the city wall. Just before these soldiers in the east from the city wall reacted, they were pierced with spears from all angles.
From here, we can see the importance of long-range firepower output. In Nord''s two siege wars, there will be no such situation at all. A group of soldiers are squatting on the wall. If they dare to wait for Nord''s siege soldiers next to the siege ladder, Nord''s long-range troops can shoot them so that they can''t take care of themselves.
Therefore, there is no problem with Nord''s army building policy. Although the impact of the army is sacrificed, it is in exchange for unparalleled firepower suppression. Nord thinks this deal is very valuable. Besides, remote output is the way that can cause the greatest damage at any time.
Although the current situation sounds a little critical. The enemy has boarded Nord''s wall. Once the wall is lost, Nord will become a turtle in a jar. In fact, Nord doesn''t panic at all and even wants to increase his position. He wishes that Marquis Stilwell''s troops would line up and send it to Nord''s soldiers to kill him.
According to this rhythm, marquis Stilwell''s troops of less than 3000 people may be able to send all the light in less than one morning, because all the 500 soldiers sent by Marquis Stilwell were consumed in just half an hour.
Half of them died on the way to the city wall and were shot by 50 archers chartered by Nord. The other half were beaten to death by Nord''s long-awaited soldiers after climbing the city wall. At the position of attacking the city ladder on each city wall, there were layers of corpses covering the whole city wall.
The corpses piled together and the blood around them are like pieces of Oreo sandwich biscuits dipped in ketchup (what''s the way to eat?). It looks disgusting. During the whole battle, Nord''s expression has not changed and his expression is very relaxed, because Nord knows that these soldiers can''t threaten the defense of his own wall at all, They just gave Nord head brush experience. I have to say that Comrade Stilwell is a good man.
