The news about Rolson was deliberately suppressed by Renard, and only a few people such as Heidi knew that there was an epic warrior in the territory.

Sixty-nine years after the founding of the Kingdom of Arthur, Renard was twenty-five years old, and this day was a harvest sacrifice.

Duke Edmund was invited by Heidi and Renard to attend a banquet in the Earldom of Meredith, where the two sides talked so much that they did not leave the banquet until late in the evening.

At the beginning of March, the spring breeze is cool.

The Earldom of Meredith gathered thirteen divisions, totaling 32,000 troops, and sent troops to the city of Ignaz, and Duke Edmund also sent 8,000 troops to help in the battle.

The Fourteenth Route Army assembled mightily towards Ignaz City, and the entire Southern Wilderness County felt the trend of the coming storm.

On the 10th of March, in the wilderness on the outskirts of Ignaz, countless cavalry arrived like a silver wave.

The cavalry leader was dressed in shiny armor, with a fiery red cloak dangling at his side, and he held the banner of rice ears representing the county of Meredith, looking imposing.

Such a sassy person, naturally Colliver is undoubtedly Cleaver, and he laughed arrogantly: "Haha, it seems that Lao Tzu is still the fastest." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint rumble of horses' hooves behind him.

Immediately afterwards, countless cavalry rushed down the southwest slope like a sea of mountains, waving the tiger banner of the Duncan family, and naturally Trolop and Coverdale took the lead.

The sudden appearance of two cavalry troops broke the silence on the outskirts of Ignaz, and the farmer, who was tending to the crops in the fields, was immediately stunned when he saw this scene.

It took a long time to react, and then he fled like a lost dog to the village.

Hurried trumpets and bells rang out, and the whole city of Ignaz was in chaos.

Because the city is built on the mountain, in line with the principle of standing high and looking far, countless people ran along the road to the highest part of the city, and then saw the scene that they will never forget.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were displayed in the wilderness on the outskirts, and their shiny armor could almost dazzle people's eyes.

However, this was only the vanguard of the army, and there were two infantry regiments and a firearms regiment and a logistics baggage division in the rear.

Cleaver looked at the city built on a high mountain in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "When I came here twenty years ago, it appeared

It's so grandiose, I seem so small, I didn't expect to come back twenty years later, but I want to conquer it. ”

The city of Ignaz has a much longer history than Edgar and Hammer, dating back to the early days of the Aleshoz dynasty.

The city originally belonged not to the House of Wollaston, but to a third-class count from the Aurehotz dynasty, whose name is unknown.

After the collapse of the Åleholz dynasty, the world was in turmoil.

The last lord of the family was killed on the battlefield, and Haydn Wollaston, who was then the captain of the pro-army's guard, occupied the magpie's nest and renamed it Ignaz City, proclaiming himself a count.

Who doesn't have ambition?

So driven by the desire for power, Earl Haydn also learned to cut off the alleged king.

According to the script written by Count Haydn himself, he should rely on the dangerous city of Ignaz City to recuperate, and wait for the vitality of all forces to be greatly damaged, and then send troops to fight until he rules the entire Southern Wilderness County and establishes a principality.

However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, His Majesty Rochel was born, and the dream country that Count Haydn had created in his mind collapsed directly.

One hundred thousand horsemen marched through the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, conquering dozens of cities one after another, and finally even Timothy was disgraced.

Immediately afterward, 100,000 iron cavalry marched towards the city of Ignaz.

Although Earl Haydn was an ambitious man, he was also a man of current affairs, and he went directly to the city to beg for surrender without waiting for the army to come to the city.

In order to set an example for the stubborn old aristocracy, His Majesty Rochelle gladly accepted his demotion.

Although His Majesty Rochelle had not yet proclaimed himself king at that time, he still made Haydn an earl and gave him a fief of 2,000 square kilometers of land in the city of Ignaz.

Time has passed, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the city is still majestic, and even more magnificent.

Cleaver said with emotion: "It is worthy of being a city that can withstand hundreds of thousands of demon armies, and if we want to take it, I'm afraid we will have to pay a big price." ”

Trollope nodded approvingly: "The fact that this city has been able to stand for hundreds of years in the Southern Wilderness County is enough to prove its solidity. ”

Coverdale stopped, looked at the city, and said, "I don't know

Can we take this place with the strength we have now? ”

"Rely on us?" Colliver sneered, "If you want to try, I'll have to wait to collect your body." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Look there." ”

The place Colliver was referring to was the outer wall of the city, the heavy walls that had been partially cracked, and in some places even lacking bricks and tiles.

It seems to be weak, but it is actually strong and abnormal.

At the top of the city wall, crossbows and cannons are erected every thirty meters, and although the artillery coverage rate is much worse than that of Hammer City, it is important to understand that the length of the city's walls is more than three times that of Hammer City.

In addition, the city wall is built with towering arrow towers every 200 meters, and the 20-meter-high arrow towers are extremely abrupt, and their role is self-evident.

As long as the enemy has just attacked the city wall, it must first face a covering artillery bombardment, and then face the arrow tower to form a crossfire.

The archers on the arrow tower did not have to worry about the sneak attack of the enemy's sharpshooters or sharpshooters, because the city wall was ten meters high, and the height of the arrow tower was thirty meters.

In the case of shooting from the back, it is rare for someone to shoot an arrow that high, except with a musket.

However, the rate of fire of the musket was so slow that it would take at least ten seconds for even the most skilled musketeer to reload to shoot, enough time between them to launch a counterattack.

Cliffor took a deep breath, his face no longer had the previous frivolous expression, and said seriously: "The outer wall is actually not the most fatal, what is even worse is that after entering the city, we have to continue to climb along the streets around the mountain. ”

His expression was a little bitter: "The buildings on both sides of the street are the best cover for the defenders, and every half step we take will probably cost a huge price, although there are shortcuts, but can you imagine how difficult it is to climb the steps at a seventy-degree angle?"

Trolope sighed: "As long as there are five thousand troops to hold the city, we will not want to attack the top of the mountain." ”

Coverdale's eyes twinkled, and he asked, "Is it possible to take a decapitation operation?"

Hearing this, Colliver sneered: "How is it possible, I estimate that Earl Ian has already run away from a certain mess now, and it may not be so easy to catch him, let's think about how to conquer this city with the least cost." ”

The three of them were then silent, this is really a dog biting a hedgehog and can't get out of his mouth.
