Chapter 803: Battle of the Attila Empire (2) --- cannon fodder first
"It seems that Attila and the knights are already starting to feel anxious. ”
Outside the capital of the Attila Empire, Alice was sitting on the back of a mammoth, looking at the chaos on the city walls, the city rising from the plains, like a giant beast devouring all in the night, easily reminiscent of the Beaton who led the army of the Attila Empire and was invincible on the battlefield.
The original name of the city has fallen into the memory of the people, and even the history books rarely record the name of the city that has been occupied by Attila for many years.
After Attila came here and lived here, people naturally began to call the city the city of Attila, a title that soon gained recognition from the Attila Empire.
The city is now the most important city in the Attila Empire, and whether the city can survive or not depends on the situation in Scandinavia as a whole.
If the city is captured by the Baltic Empire's troops, no matter how many cities outside the Attila Empire are still resisting, it will be meaningless, just as humanity, without its brains, no matter how good the rest of the city is, will not be able to stop the pace of death.
The rest of the United Kingdom, which had lost the courage to resist, could not justifiably say no to the demands of the Baltic Empire, let alone the unreliable Scandinavian gods, who had abandoned the believers who had served them for many years in this war and sided with the Baltic Empire.
Next to Alice are the generals who command the battle, as well as the powerful and proud legends, who are observing the battlefield and the enemy, and begin to formulate the tactics that will be used in the battle.
"Siegmund is leading an army to this battlefield, and the number of troops has reached fifty thousand, but a third of them are newly recruited recruits who have not experienced war. ”
The purple-haired girl hidden in the corner brought remarkable news in a cold voice, the number of 50,000 Scandinavians was enough to bring changes to this battle, even the recruits who had not been on the battlefield were able to do the simplest madness, wielding an axe to look at the enemy's head before dying.
The generals were talking a lot, and Siegmund's last defeat did not make them underestimate this enemy, for the generals defeat is always a possibility, and the real problem is never the defeat itself.
"My generals, don't worry. ”
"Our Mr. Siegmund will bring us victory again, Siegmund is indeed an enemy worthy of our respect and attention, but the remnants of the old past, who still carry out the old-fashioned tactics and cannot keep up with the changes of the times, will eventually be buried. ”
Alice clapped her hands, interrupting the generals' discussion.
"Generals, Siegmund will not appear on this battlefield, what we really need to pay attention to is the counterattack from Attila, I think everyone here has read about her brilliant victories, it is definitely not an opponent that we can slack off. ”
Attila and four other knights who had joined the river were patrolling the city walls, trying to inspire as many courage as possible among the soldiers below them and make them fight with all their might.
The soldiers now stationed in the city are die-hard loyalists of the Attila Empire, and they have no way of betraying, let alone surrendering, and whispering in their sleep every night has no way to shake their iron will.
"There are several times as many of them as we are, and judging by the way they look, our enemies are just as expecting a protracted war. ”
There was apprehension in the tone of the war, and what he saw showed that the enemy, who was attacking them, had chosen the option that seemed to be the least favorable to him in this campaign.
He did not think that the generals of the Baltic Empire would put themselves in a position against themselves, they would certainly have their reasons for doing so, and a reason to bring about a bad situation.
"Quantity is their advantage, the same is their disadvantage, the more people they need to consume every day, now there are not many days will enter the winter, with the harsh climate of the northern winter, extremely low temperature, their consumption will be even more terrifying. ”
Famine comforted his brother by the side, and he could only use this statement to soothe his inner turmoil, and the successive defeats had made him unable to find any reason to explain his weakness, which made him unable to be arrogant in the face of the enemy of the Baltic Empire.
"There is no problem with the famine, if it is winter, it will become more difficult for them to transport, if you have to transport one cart of food, there will be two carts of food on the road, after all, in winter, the rivers and the sea will freeze, and our enemies will lose their convenient transportation. ”
The wounded Plague was involved in their discussions, and as long as he wasn't involved in the battle, his injuries weren't too serious.
After the plague was finished, death added in a dry voice.
"The numbers are just a performance, you look at the messy armies in the west, they are all armies from other places, they may be mercenaries who are confused by money, they may be tribal armies who have forgotten the fear that the empire has brought them, maybe for other countries and forces, the combination of the two is very difficult to deal with, but for the soldiers of our Attila Empire, these miscellaneous cards are never a problem. ”
"The only thing we really need to pay attention to is the army of the Baltic Empire, those soldiers who have extremely high combat qualities, are well-equipped, and are equipped with all kinds of medicines. ”
"The battle of the Attila Empire has never been a brute force without a brain, we are not those Scandinavians who only have muscles in their heads, I have found the mistake of the Baltic Empire, and in response to this mistake, the other mercenaries, the armies of the Northlands, will become our help on the battlefield. ”
"We need to focus on the mercenaries and tribal armies, kill as many soldiers as possible, and their corpses will join our army and help us. ”
Death was much more confident than the fear of war, believing that the Baltic Empire was wasting supplies by allowing other motley armies to enter the battlefield, and that it would affect the pace of the entire campaign.
The self-confidence of death did not enliven the solemn atmosphere, and what he said was a miracle that would happen in the slightest case, because everyone knew that the enemy he was facing was not a fool who was carried away by blood and anger.
"Don't be overly optimistic, death, my brother. ”
The war opened to break the delusion of death, and more precisely, he put the bloody reality on the table,
"Let's face it, my brothers, our enemies are engaged in a conspiracy that we don't know about, and what is more terrible is that we don't even see the slightest hint of it. ”
"Be sober, in this battle, we have become blind, our scouts can't even get out of the city gates, do you see the corpses tied to the pillars on the other side? The scouts I sent out last night are all on it now, and they are the best scouts in our army that I can find. ”
"Or are you still pinning your hopes of victory on the stupidity of our enemies, and are you still triumphant that we can replicate the miracle that happened in Upplan?"
The reprimand of war made the faces of several knights look bad, but they did not refute it, and war required a cruel reality rather than blind optimism.
As the war progressed, the number of excellent scouts in the Attila Empire was drastically decreasing, and last night's batch could be said to be the last essence.
The destruction of these scouts means that the Attila Empire no longer has the ability to obtain enough information from the enemy, to gain insight into the outside world, and to understand the enemy's reality, which means that in this battle, he can only trust his own eyes, and it means that the information he has obtained is what the enemy has shown, and what the enemy wants to be known by him.
It is really extremely ironic that in the case of war, the knights in the name of war were completely defeated by the Baltic Empire, and even the efforts made now seemed to be a useless struggle.
The war made the tour extremely dull, and they walked around the city walls to make sure that they had not been tampered with by the assassins of the Baltic Empire, and then returned to the castle in the city.
Time is running out for them, the army of the Baltic Empire is now making final mobilization and war preparations, and judging by the situation, tomorrow morning the other side will attack.
------------------------------
The Baltic Empire began to attack in the morning, and it was the warriors of the Horde and the mercenaries who were sent into the front as the vanguards.
They only need to ride the siege tower and rush to the city wall to open up the situation for the follow-up army, or use the siege vehicle to storm the city gate and violently destroy the gate that is filled with molten iron and has various heavy objects placed behind it.
In addition, they also have the task of filling in the moat, which is actually not difficult, because the empire has made the moat useless through the throwing of catapults, and now the water level of the moat is only just below the waist, and the impact on the siege is not great.
Those who can use long-range weapons such as bows, slings, and javelins are grouped separately and will climb the siege towers to suppress the walls in a condescending manner, creating opportunities for their companions to gain results.
In the future, the catapults will continue to attack, and for this siege, the Baltic Empire has prepared at least two hundred catapults, and in the face of such a number, there is no way to hold out for too long in the strong walls.
The Baltic Empire does not simply want to consume the lives of its mercenaries and tribal warriors, no matter what kind of sacrifice, it is only valuable if it can obtain the results of the war.
Compared to the battle on land, the battle around the sky began early, and the whole sky was rendered in various colors, and from time to time you could see the losers falling from the sky, smashing the ground into cobweb-like holes with wails.
The Attila Empire's air force, consisting of dragons and thunderbirds, is battling against the gargoyles of the Baltic Empire, and thanks to the thunderclouds summoned by the Thunderbirds, they have barely gained the upper hand.
Under the control of the Thunderbird, the lightning in the sky kills and injures the enemy in pieces, keeping the line intact, while the Wyvern acts as a counterpoint to defeat the enemies that are missed.
However, everyone understands that there is no way to carry out this for a long time, because the physical strength of the Thunderbirds is limited, and even if they can use the thunderclouds in the sky to attack, they still can't carry out this kind of high-intensity battle for a long time.
On the other side of the Baltic Empire, they are still letting gargoyles join the battle in a steady stream, and the gargoyles behind them have been treated with lightning resistance, and more lightning is needed to destroy them, which greatly increases the burden on the Thunderbirds.
With the number of these gargoyles alone, there is a possibility of annihilating all of their soldiers, not to mention that the air force on the opposite side has not really come into play.
The air forces, which were far superior in numbers, equipment, and tactics, consisting of dragons, dragons, eagles, griffins, and horned eagles, had not won any victories in previous encounters.
The Attila Empire's commanders were well aware of this, so they didn't expect their air force to win, as long as they could delay the enemy's advance so that the enemy could not attack from the sky with impunity.
In a short period of time, there is no way to open up the situation in the sky battlefield, but Alice has enough patience to wait for the air force to win.
War is never about who has the advantage, sometimes the disadvantage at the beginning is to pave the way for the later victory, and it is to create opportunities for the final result.
Alice set her sights on the battlefield in front of her, the team of siege engines had begun to approach the opposite wall, and the archers on top of the siege engine had begun to suppress the enemy on the wall.
The resistance of the Attila Empire was very strong, and the catapults they had placed on the walls had successfully destroyed two siege engines, and the wooden devices were still unable to resist the terrible boulders.
Just as the siege vehicle was approaching the city walls, and the warriors were ready to charge, so that those die-hard members of the Attila Empire could taste their strength, the violent explosion directly turned the siege vehicle into a fireball.
Countless people on fire dropped their weapons, flapped wildly with their hands, and wailed as they brushed off the siege engines, and finally fell to the ground without a sound.
"Kir, I'd like to know where their explosive arrows came from. ”
