Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 129 Abandoning the City Gate

The situation is a bit of a dilemma for both sides. It is difficult for Lehman and others to give up their current advantages. After all, they have already broken through the city gate, and they can win if they work harder. Such a temptation is not something ordinary people can easily give up.

But Lehman also understands that the soldiers of the guards are at the end of their strength, and it is difficult to squeeze out any more strength. They are all new recruits on the battlefield for the first time, and it is difficult to strictly demand them like experienced veterans. Lehman is very lucky that they can still persist without being defeated.

On the other hand, the mercenaries on the other side did not dare to act rashly for a while when they saw the regrouped spearmen, because in the narrow city gate, the compact formation of the spearmen and the dense spear points were like a group Hedgehogs, so that they can not eat.

In the end, Lehman still made up his mind to retreat. Continuing the stalemate will not make the situation better. On the contrary, it may delay the opportunity of the war. Nord has also mentioned to Lehman before. This winter has actually begun to study some knowledge about war.

However, the current Tammy Village does not have too many resources for Lehman to study. One is to listen to some historical stories about wars told by Hill scholars, and the other is to ask Nord for advice. At this time, Nord, who is the king of mouth, can Tell Lehman about various tactics, and Nord has all kinds of tactics at his fingertips, although he has never practiced it once.

At this time, Nord was standing outside the gate of the castle waiting for the battle. Because of the narrow terrain of the gate, the team of more than 60 spearmen was already full, and there was no room for other soldiers. As for why Nord didn't rush in with Lehman and the others. Do you think that I, Nord, are greedy for life and afraid of death?

That's right, yes, Nord is worried about his dog's life, and doesn't want to be the first batch of cannon fodder, and Nord is not letting them die, Nord cherishes the life of every soldier under his command, and doesn't want to make fearless sacrifices , Of course, the enemy is another matter, the best enemy is a dead enemy.

But Nord also understands that there is no immortal in a war, so Nord has already prepared himself. At this moment, Nord saw the spearman in the city gate and slowly retreated.

Nord sighed in his heart. It seems that Lehman and others did not break through the defense of Christenburg as they wished, but judging by the pace of their retreat, the situation should not be too bad.

Soon Lehman and others withdrew from the city gate, and brought the bloody spearman to Noord, followed by four heavily armed knights and mercenaries from the Krissen family. , They stood at the gate of the city and looked around, but did not chase them out.

And everyone's face is a bit ugly, because they just walked out and found that there are more than a hundred enemies outside, which makes the morale of the mercenaries just drop to the bottom because of the small victory. Double-edged sword.

When fighting with the wind, they are a group of excellent soldiers, not only rich in combat experience, but also very cost-effective, which is much more cost-effective than training a soldier in their own family.

This is also the reason why most of the small nobles in this era don't have much private interests. Rather than putting money into the hands of soldiers, they prefer to spend money on themselves. Of course, the cheapest is the cannon fodder forcibly recruited from civilians. There is no need to pay any price at all, even the weapons and food have to be prepared by themselves.

But now Viscount Ollie has no chance to recruit farmers, because there is only one gate in Christenburg, surrounded by walls of four or five meters high. Is Viscount Ollie completely surrounded in the castle now? It’s hard to fly He couldn't even reach the nearby shantytowns, so how could he recruit civilians in the shantytowns to serve as cannon fodder for him.

Even if Viscount Orly could send his men to dig them out of the castle, the civilians in the shack might not obey their orders. They are not stupid, how could they willingly participate in the war, and the rest of the civilians in the shack They are overly shrewd and cautious people. They may be afraid of Viscount Ollie, but they definitely cherish their own lives more.

Nord is not worried at all that Viscount Ollie will escape over the wall. With his size, it is difficult to get on the kang (the kang is an adjective), let alone over the wall. People can go over the wall, but war horses can never go over the city wall. Alright, so now Viscount Ollie is the turtle in the urn, and what Nord has to do now is to find a way to break open his tortoise shell.

Nord looked at the enemies at the gate of the city, and did not order the archers to shoot, but watched as these people closed the thick gate of Christenburg, because Nord knew that shooting might hurt several people now. Individuals, but they will also expose their cards, which is completely worth the loss.

And Lehman also briefly told Nord about the scene of the battle just now, and Nord can also understand that there are probably less than one hundred soldiers in Christenburg now, and more than sixty spearmen can break through the Kremlin. Lisenberg, Nord had to admit that he was a little wishful thinking.

But the opportunity is right in front of Nord, why wouldn't Nord try it, in case it succeeds, so even if it fails, Nord is not too frustrated, Nord has expected this situation a long time ago, Preparations for the siege had already been made before.

Nord, the previous siege stake, is no longer going to use it, not to mention that the heavy city gate will be difficult to open for a while. It has just been proved that it is impossible to break through the city gate of Christenburg.

Obviously, there is still a little gap between the spearmen and those experienced mercenaries when simply competing in close combat capabilities. This point Nord has to admit that the current level of the spearmen still needs to be improved. After this battle, they can really be promoted to Amon spearmen, and they will be able to fight those mercenaries,

Of course, what we are talking about here is pure combat power. In fact, there are many reasons that affect the strength of a soldier on the battlefield. The most important thing is morale. Although morale is invisible and intangible, it does affect the key to the outcome of a battle. .

I heard a theory before that in a chaotic battlefield, a soldier can be called an elite soldier if he can exert 30% of his strength. Therefore, even if he is capable, it is difficult to perform on a bloody battlefield. come out.

High morale can enable soldiers to better display their strength, and there are some other factors, such as willpower. Soldiers with firm will are not shaken by external things, and they can often perform better. Nord handed over to Marko Advanced training methods can temper the willpower of recruits.

This means that although there is a difference in strength, the key reason for the spearmen to stand up to those mercenaries is that their morale is very high now. Even the bloody battle at the city gate just now did not affect their morale at all.

They were just a little annoyed that they almost broke through this familiar but very strange castle just now. The reason for the strangeness was that they had never entered it before. Of course the soldiers would think so, and of course they couldn’t do without Nord’s guidance. Of course Nord knew that it was time to comfort these soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield.
