My name is Ren

Chapter 504 Chapter [-] Self-confidence is the foundation of doing anything well. If self-confidence collapses, then the sky will also collapse

With a clang sound, a gap was left on the armor, and blood gushed out from the gap. There was still warmth in the fierce eyes of the owner of the armor, but the flame of life was about to be extinguished.Behind him, there was a hand on his shoulder, and he was thrown backwards forcefully. After losing his balance, he fell slowly, and then quickly fell from the city wall to the ground.Under him, there was a soldier who couldn't dodge, one of his eyeballs popped out, the blood sprayed from his mouth and nose splashed more than one meter away, he twitched slightly, and was about to die.

This is just a scene that can be seen everywhere in the siege battle. The purpose of the city of defense was originally built to defend the imperial capital. It is better to say that this is a city than a fortress of war.The City of Guards is very similar to Ortrenburg. Both have extremely high and thick walls. The gaps between the bricks and stones of the walls are small. The walls are as smooth as a mirror as a whole.

Once you lose your balance the moment you climb the city wall, there is only one end, and that is to fall to your death.

In order to prevent the opponent from successfully climbing the city wall, in the siege warfare of this world, there has long been a standard defensive formation like a textbook.Rejecting horses plus pikemen, supplemented by heavy soldiers, is the best defensive equipment.The purpose of rejecting horses is to prevent the knights who forcibly climbed on the wall from having room to attack, and by the way, it also makes it difficult for the soldiers to continue attacking after climbing the wall.The sickle gun soldiers stood behind the rejecting horse, and they only needed mechanical stabbing to prevent the enemy from crossing the rejecting horse.

The heavily armed soldiers are designed to kill the enemy and cavalry who have crossed the horses, like a human-shaped obstacle and fortress, providing a certain degree of cover for other soldiers.

It stands to reason that such a complete defense method should be able to prevent most of the enemies from entering the city, but this is not the case.The knights rushed up the top of the city wall from the runway of the boarding vehicle. Once they vacated a certain space and let the soldiers climb up, the city wall would definitely miss.

The wide city wall is definitely a good place to sprint. Once a knight runs away, it is enough to push twenty or thirty defenders out of their posts, forming a chain reaction.

In the final analysis, whether it is attacking the city or defending the city, the first thing to fight is morale. Strong morale naturally has strong combat effectiveness, and you will not be afraid or even run away.

And in the end, what is fighting is personal bravery and the spirit of sacrifice, purely exchanging one's life for one's life.

Just like the siege battle that took place in Ortrenburg, the Ortrenburgers who lacked weapons used their fingers and teeth as weapons to drive waves of enemies off the city wall.They will even charge towards the enemy, hugging one or two enemies and jumping off the wall together.

Only this fearless spirit and courage are the factors that can really affect the outcome of a siege battle!
At this time, the morale and courage of the soldiers defending the city were at their peak.Behind them is the core of the empire, where the emperor of the Orlando Empire resides.And beneath them are their own family members, the city that raised them.Whether it is to protect these things that must be guarded, or for glory and merit, they all have reasons and bravery to fight to the death.

Siege warfare is cruel, no matter whether you win or lose and what the situation is, neither the attacking side nor the defending side can take a step back.

Either survive and continue fighting, or turn into a corpse lying on the ground!
From ten o'clock in the morning until 11:30, a large number of fighters closed their eyes forever for nearly a hundred minutes.In fact, sometimes some things are so ridiculous, whether they win or lose or something else, the final result actually has nothing to do with them themselves.They bet their own lives for the future of others. Perhaps it is this kind of stupid behavior that some people think makes the world colorful and some things soul-stirring.

The sound of the horn to withdraw troops echoed in the air, and the soldiers began to retreat like a tide, leaving behind a field of dead bodies strewn all over the field.Both sides obeyed the rules of war and began to clean the battlefield and separate the dead bodies.The corpses of the attacking party will be recorded and recorded by Isaac's soldiers and burned, while the corpses of the defending party will be sent into the city in a hanging basket, returned to their families, and finally buried in their respective cemeteries .

An atmosphere of silence and sadness enveloped the entire city of Acropolis, and Isaac was also wondering why Grace and Grian didn't take the opportunity to attack?
This time he only brought 9 people, not counting the farmers. 5 people were used to attack the city, and the remaining 4 people faced the first and second guards. The advantage in numbers had been wiped out. You can take the opportunity to come out and beat him by surprise, tear up the battlefield, and then join forces to annihilate the people who were torn out.

But why, they didn't show up?

Did they realize that Isaac was fully prepared, or did they think that the morning battle was not the most suitable time?

For a while, Isaac's mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't understand it.

He finally hesitated and made a decision, that is, when he attacked the city again, he would send more soldiers, leaving only 2 people to guard the central army, so as to give Grace and Grian a more adequate opportunity.

These two people are like the last difficulty on his way to the throne, as long as they get over it, they will be as smooth as possible!
After lunch at noon, they rested for about three hours, and launched the second siege battle at three o'clock.The afternoon sun in autumn is not strong, even if you wear heavy armor and tight leather armor, you will not sweat profusely to the point of collapse.There are too many factors to consider in war. The kind of battle that starts at noon in the dog days is often a dramatic demand.

The temperature of [-] to [-] degrees made those armored soldiers faint within half an hour. Let alone siege battles, they couldn't even stand in formation.

The 7 people were divided into fourteen phalanxes of 5000 people for the second round of attack on the city wall. The reason why they were so divided was that Isaac was trying to lure the Grace brothers to show their final cards.He was afraid that the concentration of the 7 people would make the Grace brothers continue to wait for opportunities, thus prolonging the siege process again.

If these two brothers and the first and second guards are not eliminated, Isaac will not be at ease for a day.

Especially Grand Marshal Grace himself, who has never been defeated in his life, is the undefeated God of War of the Orlando Empire. As long as he is there, the Orlando family will still have hope to make a comeback.

The situation of the war was still stalemate. The defenders of the city of Wei almost put out all their energy. Waves of offensives attacked the wall, and were driven down by the defenders.Blowing the cool autumn wind, Isaac looked at the peaceful wilderness around him, and finally realized that something was wrong.He wasn't sure if Brother Grace was lying in ambush somewhere nearby, or if he wasn't here at all?
It stands to reason that the signs of him attacking the city of guards have already been revealed. With the combat literacy of Generalissimo Grace, he should have known his goal long ago, but the current situation is completely different from what he imagined. It seems that Queen Pars and that The two brothers are encouraging him to sit and watch him take down the city.

When people are doing something, what they are most afraid of is self-doubt.

I might not be able to do it well, I might not be able to do it, I might be a complete failure... Once such thoughts appear, they will be like wildfire, causing a series of changes.

Do you want to attack the city of Xiawei?
It is not difficult to take down this city. As long as he sends out a signal according to the agreed plan, the Earl of Birmingham will cooperate with him to play a show and let him win.But what about after winning?

At this time, Isaac seemed to be walking in the dark. Weeds were overgrown on both sides of the road, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only hear the rustling sound of the wind blowing.The brightly lit city gate in the distance is not far away from him, as long as he takes the last few steps, he can cross the darkness and reach the light.But it was these last few steps that gave him a great sense of danger. It seemed that something was about to come out of the darkness at any time and give him a fatal blow!
Grace!
Green!
Looking at the peaceful wilderness, suddenly Fulin's heart came to him, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

According to the normal situation, the city of Wei was attacked, and two of the other three satellite cities should immediately send people to help here.The City of Stars and the City of the Moon are not far away, and they will be there in three to five hours at most.From yesterday to now, not to mention the reinforcements, I haven't even seen a scout cavalry.The national crisis is at this point, why don't they come to the rescue?How dare you not come to the rescue?
Isaac had been focusing on Grace and the Grien brothers before, ignoring this detail.However, at this time he finally discovered this clue. Don't the City of Stars and the City of the Moon know that the City of Guards is being attacked?
Then why don't they come?
Are they preparing for something like Grace and Grian brothers?
Looking at the open wilderness, Isaac's scalp felt numb for a while, and he immediately summoned his most trusted staff to his side and expressed his doubts.

After listening to it carefully, the staff analyzed it a little bit, and then tried to ask: "The Earl of Birmingham, is it really so reliable?"

This question directly exploded in Isaac's mind, yes, did the Earl of Birmingham really, as Pelagos said, sincerely join their aristocratic group?It's okay, but if it's not....

He couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that the Orlando family had already started planning for what happened today a few years ago or even longer?
Is it Queen Pars?

Or Orlando VI?
At the end of his gaze, the peaceful imperial capital is in his eyes at this moment, like a monster that is about to open its mouth to choose someone and devour it at any time!
