Chapter 869 (2/2)

A siege is no better than a field battle.

On the field battlefield, relying on tactics to implement various encirclement, formation cutting, occupying Highlands, etc., even when to invest reserve forces, when to launch a general attack, and how to control the battlefield area, we can win many classic battles with less.

However, in the siege war, the only thing the attacker can do is to accurately grasp the opportunity, obtain the advantage by attacking and crushing the enemy's morale, creating a situation of more and less, and turn the advantage into a victory. Compared with the offensive side, the defensive side has to occupy too many advantages in the siege, because they basically grasp the two advantages of geography and people. Most of the siege is to win through huge military advantages.

Mountain city, even after several hard battles with the thunder lion, still has nearly 80000 troops.

Under normal circumstances, the size of troops must be at least 150000 or more before it is possible to gnaw at such a city.

William's actual strength was only 46000, of which 5000 were cavalry and 1000 knights. In the siege, knights can naturally play a role, but under normal circumstances, no commander will let a knight regiment participate in the siege. As we all know, when fighting for control of the city wall in the early stage of the siege, the casualties were the greatest. Basically, in this case, they sent a large amount of cannon fodder supplemented by some real soldiers to fill the death hole.

The famous sieges and the battle for the city wall on the miracle continent are fought in the unit of ”section”.

Seeing the comparison between the forces of the void principality and the mountain city, even if we know that the so-called military forces of the mountain city are only forced civilians, there is a lot of water, but no one is still optimistic about the void principality. The whole Ryan Kingdom believes that the void principality will definitely fail here. After all, the mountain city, as the most important city of Ryder, is also the political center of Ryder, and its defense facilities will not be too weak.

If the empty principality must eat the city, it is not impossible, but it will certainly suffer heavy losses.

After all, the gap in military strength is there.

But in fact, it took only two days for the army of the void duchy to completely take down the wall of the mountain city, forcing the defenders of the mountain city to enter the street battle.

Almost all the Ryan nobles looked very strange after knowing the information, but when they knew what means William used, they were no longer strange, but shocked. Because there was only one word in the intelligence, Rena, shefanio and the scarlet Knights participated in the first wave of siege.

Two holy land strongmen and a knight regiment are all involved in the first round, which is also the most fierce battle for the city wall?

Everyone thinks William is crazy.

In this fierce battle, even if the cannon fodder could not threaten the lives of the strong in the holy land, it was still a threat to the Knights. Moreover, so many people, even the strong in the holy land, may not be able to kill all of them. Once the strong in the holy land is tired, the strong in gold or a regular army of sufficient scale and quantity can also threaten the lives of the strong in the holy land.

But is William really crazy?

From the result, it is obvious that there is no, rather, the strong appearance of the strong in the Holy Land and the investment of the whole knights are the real reason for speeding up the army of the void principality to win the wall of Shanzhong city in two days. This measure not only greatly reduced the morale of the garrison in the mountain city, but also greatly protected the military loss of the void principality.

After that, the street battle couldn't stop the attack of steel wings and dark wings.

The siege lasted less than five days and ended with the total annihilation of the defenders of the mountain city.

Count Medan, viscount Ryder, the whole family of viscount Ryder, as well as the private army under his command, and all the residents of the whole mountain city were slaughtered by the void principality - not only the young and the mercenaries in the city, but also the old and weak women and children. The wail of the whole mountain city rang through for four days, and the blood stained almost every corner of the city.

This is the real slaughterhouse!

When William led the empty army to leave the mountain city, the whole mountain city was as silent as a ghost land except for the empty blood flag flying in the wind at the top of the city. The scavenging black crow is said to have landed in the city from the sky like a dark cloud.

The Principality of void is a truth that we really tell everyone with action: under the blood flag, we will never die.

Any enemy who dares to block the advance of the army of the void principality will only end up being washed with blood. The noble family in the way, that is, the whole family will be destroyed; If you think that relying on the city to defend can block the void principality, the end of the mountain city led by Viscount Ryder is the best example.

When the army of the Principality of the void entered the Earl of Medan through Viscount Ryder, the Earl of Medan's family dared not stop it any more. But even so, they were all hanged by William, on the grounds that count Medan helped Viscount Saud resist the advance of the army of the void duchy, wasting the precious time of the void duchy.

But this time there was no slaughter.

Of course, there was a small episode in this incident, that is, count Medan's family tried to keep the last fire and secretly smuggled several people away. As a result, these fires were all intercepted and killed by the void Dark Blade led by rupee before they left the Earl of Medan. In front of the family of the Earl of Medan, they became the first people to be hanged.

Bloody, cruel and cruel are the impressions of all the nobles of Ryan Kingdom on the void duchy.

However, this deterrent effect is really very good.

Because the next two territories passed by the army of the void duchy, their lords did not dare to resist. Of course, it's not that there is no lord who still wants to try to resist according to the garrison pool, but because of the lesson of the mountain city, the Lord just ordered to resist, and there was a riot in the whole city. Then the unlucky Lord was turned over to William, and its end is conceivable.

In just three months, four noble families were completely destroyed by the army of the void duchy.

After that, the army of the void duchy was unimpeded.

On August 22, 1878, the army of the Principality of void officially entered the Marquis de Rohan, and its supply lines spanned eight territories. Such a long supply line is naturally extremely disadvantageous to a large army, because they have gone deep behind the enemy alone. But in fact, no nobleman dared to attack the supply line of the army of the void duchy.

The reason is very simple. These people have been deeply shocked by the strength and hegemony of the void principality in these four months.

It should be the Simon family that is really helpless.

At this moment, the whole Simon family is in a panic. At the moment when the army of the Principality of the void stepped into the leadership of the Marquis de Rohan, more than ten people of the Simon family fled, but now all of them have become dead - half of them were found by the current head of the Simon family and directly ordered to be killed; The other half was intercepted by rupee in the void, and the body was directly thrown in front of the Simon family castle.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the conference room was so dull that the eight superiors who could be said to be in control of the whole Simon family felt the chill of death in the conference room. There was no reason.
