Chapter 314

The brutal wells family is a loyal hound under the Marquis of Stilwell, so no matter how bad the reputation of the wells family is, the Marquis of Stilwell still attaches great importance to them, because he also needs such a loyal dog to frighten other nobles.

I agree that the wells family also understands this truth. As long as their family does not betray the Marquis Stilwell, even if they are too cruel, it is difficult for other nobles to move him. With the backstage, the wells family is also unscrupulous in the East and often leads troops to rob the villages of other nobles in the East.

Even the Earl of Wales, a town in the East, did not let go, not to mention coming to the central region. Since he found out that the Marquis of Mellon was gone, the Earl of Wales began a blatant way of looting, not only the town of caldera, but also the surrounding villages.

Along the way, Nord didn't see a complete village. When passing by, he could only see the ruins of the village. Vaguely, some villagers didn't leave and stayed in the ruins. After seeing Nord's troops, they immediately hid in the ruins and disappeared, like a mouse that sees human beings.

Seeing such a scene, Nord's anger became more intense. Then he turned and left without disturbing the lives of these villagers and went straight to caldera town. Nord knew that the culprit of everything was waiting for him there.

Therefore, after Nord arrived here, he directly began to attack without saying a word. Nord felt that he had nothing to say with such people. Scum animals like this should go to hell. Now Nord was not even in the mood to spare their lives. The scenes Nord saw along the way showed that the actions of this Eastern army were countless.

Looking at the orderly attack of Nord's troops under the city, no one answered the question of count wells, because they didn't know where Nord's troops came from, and the character of count wells was very unpredictable. If one didn't answer well, his life might be difficult to protect.

Silence became the response of the Knights under count wells. They were used to such a scene. As long as they didn't answer count Wells's questions, his temper would soon pass, as long as no unlucky guy provoked his eyebrows.

After looking around and finding that no one answered himself, count wells snorted coldly. He knew what his knights did, but count wells also understood that it was not important to investigate where Nord came from at this time. The key was how to deal with their attack.

Although Earl wells is cruel, his soldiers are also unusually fierce. Earl Wells's troops are basically the strongest in the East, and the troops of the other four earls can't compare with him. That's why Earl wells has never been punished, and his powerful strength is also his arrogant capital.

After taking a look at the troops under the city, the count of wells calmly ordered his knights to start defending on the city wall. The count of wells, who is also very experienced in fighting, knows that the enemy troops under the city are only on a par with himself, and they are definitely not attacked by the Marquis of Mellon.

Although he could not see the flag of the enemy troops, it was wishful thinking to break through the town he held by relying on these numbers. Count wells sneered that he had not lost under the same number, let alone a siege.

When the cavalry could not play a role, the Earl of Wales arrogantly believed that the Marquis of Mellon himself came under the city. With the current military strength, he was not unable to stop. He had a very strong confidence in his strength, which was not the case when Marquis of Mellon.

However, Nord was not the Marquis of Mellon. When his troops were ready to attack the city, Nord slowly pushed under the city wall with his troops. Even if he saw that soldiers were constantly coming up to defend on the city wall, Nord was not worried at all. Nord had not planned to attack them unprepared while the soldiers on the city wall were not stable.

As long as the soldiers on the city wall are not blind, they can see Nord's troops coming from afar. The troops of more than 1000 people can hardly be regarded as a dark crowd. Nord's troops are basically infantry. Their action is very slow, and it will be impossible to make a surprise attack.

In addition, during the period when Nord was preparing to attack the city ladder, the enemies on the city wall were fully prepared. As Earl wells thought, Nord was also very confident in his troops. In the face of the same number of enemies, Nord's troops could easily defeat them.

Before the war began, the commanders of the two troops were sure of their victory, but smiled that there was only one last. They just didn't know whether they would be so optimistic when the battle began.

It is still the strategy of letting the long-range forces consume the enemy first, but because it is the reason of the siege, it is impossible for Nord, as the party who takes the initiative to attack, to wait for the enemy to enter the fire range of the long-range forces several times.

Nord's troops always used the defensive counterattack formation when facing the enemy. They won't take the initiative to fire until the enemy enters the attack range of long-range forces, and this combat method is also very suitable for Nord's troops.

Because now the troops are all infantry, they don't have much impact. It's very difficult for more than half of them to launch an attack. Therefore, this siege will test the offensive ability of the troops. It is likely to suffer heavy losses like the last battle in kresenberg.

We should know that the strength of Nord's forces was still absolutely dominant at that time. Because Nord launched a sudden attack, the kreisen family had almost no chance to recruit cannon fodder soldiers from the territory, but even so, Nord's forces suffered heavy losses.

The proportion of casualties in that war was the highest in these wars. Among them, the offensive ability of Nord troops was not so strong, but the more key was that the siege itself was very difficult, and the city wall gave too much support to the combat power of the troops.

The soldiers standing on the city wall have a sense of superiority when they look down at the enemy, 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, so that the soldiers can fight safely.

This is also the reason why all regions in the cold weapon era agreed to build city walls in their own places. The protective role of the city walls is too great. Since ancient times, the siege, regardless of the scale, must be an extremely tragic battle.

Therefore, the art of war summarized by the ancients mentioned that attacking the city is the bottom and the heart is the top. Generally, it will not attack the city until the last resort, because even if it occupies an absolute advantage, it is very difficult to attack a city with strong resistance, and it will pay a painful price.
