Chapter 313 (1/2)

July 24, 290 BC.

22:37 p.m.

Within the territory of the Lorraine Empire, on the South Bank of the shunau River, Lyle city.

Ou Ren, who is now standing on the north wall of Lyle City, is very desperate.

According to his estimation, on the morning of July 22, ERD, who was closest to him, would not deliver the baggage on time, and then suspected that there was an accident in Lyle city.

On the evening of July 22, ERD will know the current situation of Lyle City attacked by the British army. Then after a day's March, about the morning of July 24, he could see Ed's reinforcements coming.

However, fact surprised Ou Ren - until today, night of the July 24, Ou Ren didn't see Ed's reinforcements coming!

This makes Ou Ren's current situation very embarrassing.

In the past few days, in order to boost the morale of the army, he has always told the soldiers that as long as the reinforcements can come in the morning of July 24, we won't have to suffer from the British Army any more!

Ou Ren was convinced that ED would come to the rescue with reinforcements on the morning of July 24. Ou Ren, who was convinced of this, patted his chest and promised that reinforcements would come at that time.

However, now Ou Ren's face was swollen. Until late at night, Ed's reinforcements didn't come.

This slip of tongue by Ou Ren not only greatly reduced Ou Ren's prestige in the army, but also greatly reduced the morale of the army.

——The expected reinforcements did not arrive as scheduled. It would be strange if morale did not decline.

Originally, in the past five days, in the endless ”tired enemy battle” of the British army, all the defenders have been tortured and exhausted, and their morale has been very low.

Now, after seeing that the reinforcements did not arrive as scheduled, the morale fell further, and Ou Ren would not be surprised even if there was a rout.

Ou Ren now feels some regret.

Regret a lot.

I regret that I shouldn't be so full of words, which makes me break my promise now, resulting in a sharp drop in the morale of the whole team.

At the same time, I also regret my decision of ”sticking to it” at the beginning.

Originally, Ou Ren dared to conclude that ED would lead reinforcements, so there was no need to take such a risk as ”the whole army went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the British army in the field”, so Ou Ren ordered the whole army to stick to it, silently endured the intrusion of ”tired enemy tactics” and quietly waited for ed to lead the army to come to support.

Because of Ou Ren's decision, the garrison in Lyle city has been harassed by the ”tired enemy tactics”, and many soldiers can't even stand stably because they haven't slept well for a long time.

The current situation of the army has no way to go out in the field to confront the energetic British army in the field. It can only continue to stick to Lyle and wait for reinforcements.

Ou Ren feels a little scared now.

Judging from the current situation of the troops, I'm afraid their combat effectiveness will not be preserved.

If the British Army launches a general attack now! The consequences are unimaginable!

Therefore, Ou Ren is very afraid now. While he is afraid, he is also praying silently.

Pray for reinforcements to come as soon as possible! Come as soon as possible when the British Army launches a general attack!

Standing on the north city wall, Ou Ren opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the camp of the Northern British army.

In these days, because of the endless ”tired enemy tactics” of the British army, Ou Ren basically didn't have a good rest in these five days.

His physical strength and spirit are much lower than those of Ou Ren. Now he even feels that his armor, which could not feel the weight before, is a little heavy.

Tonight's Ou Ren, as usual, was tortured by the endless horn and couldn't sleep, because he went up to the north city wall to see the scenery and relax his mood.

Just then - the horn stopped suddenly.

Hearing the sudden stop of the horn, Ou Ren couldn't help laughing, and then muttered:

”Start again...”

In these five days, Ou Ren gradually understood the ”enemy disturbing routine” of the British Army outside the city.

First of all, the incessant sound of trumpets made them sleep and prevented them from having a good rest.

Then, when the horn stopped, they sent troops to rush towards Lyle city. They wanted to attack the city, ”scare” them, let them climb up the wall slowly and disorderly, ready to resist the enemy, and further torture their physical strength and spirit.

Then, just before entering the range of the crossbow, he stopped and retreated.

Finally, blow the annoying horn again.

In these five days, the British Army outside the city repeatedly tortured them.

Therefore, after hearing that the horn stopped and seeing that the British army began to charge here again, Ou Ren didn't feel half flustered.

I just feel: ah, are they here again

Now, even if he saw the British Army charging here again, Ou Ren did not order the soldiers to go up the wall to prepare to resist the enemy.

——Not do not want to, but dare not!

If you can, Ou Ren also wants to immediately send troops to the city wall for battle preparation.

After all, although every attack of the British army so far is a feint, you can't guarantee that the next attack of the British army will really launch a general attack.

So before that, for the sake of insurance, Ou Ren would let the soldiers go up to the wall to prepare for battle every time the British army launched an assault.

However, over time, the soldiers gradually became dissatisfied.
