The knights of the enemy looked at the royal infantry in front of them with fierce eyes, they were shocked by the strength of the royal infantry, in their opinion, there should be no army comparable to their knights who had been trained since childhood.

In fact, when the royal army moved to war in the central and eastern parts of the continent, the knights of the other factions thought the same, but without exception, they were all defeated by the royal infantry.

The enemy knights also gathered, and at first they did not bother to unite against the royal army, but later, they had to fight together because of the strength of the royal army.

As the battle progressed so far, the casualties of the royal army and the knights were almost equal, and they fought on the walls of the city.

As the knights dragged on, the following knights even filled up, and even some of the regular infantry who followed behind them followed.

Delseth saw this situation, he knew that this must not go on like this, if the enemy kept the soldiers on the city walls, then they would definitely use the huge army to fight him.

Although the enemy's individual combat effectiveness is very weak, the huge army will inevitably consume a large amount of the physical strength of the royal army, and it will also be a great hidden danger if the physical strength is not exhausted at that time.

Therefore, Delseth transferred the Iron Cross Knights to the city walls, and he was ready to send the Iron Cross Knights to the city walls at the beginning.

More than two hundred knights of the Iron Cross were dressed in heavy armor and held heavy knightly swords in one hand and knightly shields in the other.

Walking slowly up the city wall with heavy steps, the weight on their bodies was too heavy, and the nearly fifty kilograms of armor made them move a little slowly, which could not be improved even with training.

This armor is only when it is on the back of a war horse, so it does not form a burden on them.

But at least for now, they were able to rule the battlefield, and they walked up the walls and replaced part of the royal infantry.

When the enemy saw this group of knights appear, they immediately became very vigilant, they looked at the opponent in front of them was obviously a group of knights, and the equipment was much better than them, they had to be vigilant.

Sure enough, after the Iron Cross knights stepped on the city wall, their combat effectiveness suddenly exploded, defeating the enemy knights in front of them.

When the sword of the enemy knight slashed at the armor of the Iron Cross Knights, they were horrified to find that they could not penetrate their armor for a long time.

However, the heavy knightly swords in the hands of the Iron Cross Knights can easily inflict damage on the enemy, and in such an unequal situation, the Iron Cross Knights slowly push forward, compressing the space for the opposing knights to move.

However, the opposing knights resisted very fiercely, and when they were pressed near the city walls, they rushed towards the Iron Cross knights regardless of casualties.

I want to withstand the attacks of the Iron Cross Knights and buy some space for the soldiers behind to fight.

In just twenty minutes, the enemy knights lost nearly 200 men, but this also managed to buy them time.

The Iron Cross Knights were running out of stamina, for their armor was so heavy that each swing was equivalent to a full-weight workout.

Looking at the tired Iron Cross Knights, Delseth had to give the order to retreat, and the Iron Cross Knights on foot were no match for the Iron Cross Knights on horseback in any case.

After removing the Iron Cross Knights, the pressure on the enemy knights was much less, and they were able to continue to hold on to the walls.

Finally, the regular soldiers in the back climbed the city wall, and they forced the knights of the Iron Cross back several meters by relying on their human bodies.

With these gaps, the enemy was finally able to get more regular soldiers on the walls.

Delseth frowned, the enemy had lost a lot of troops at the moment, but the royal infantry had not lost a lot of troops, at least in terms of troop attrition, they had the advantage.

"Go up! Don't let more enemies rush up and drive them off the walls as quickly as possible! ”

As soon as Delceth's order was given, the royal infantry carried it out, and they quickly killed the enemy in front of them, or knocked them back with their own bodies, in short, they used all means to finally compress the enemy back to the edge of the wall.

The two sides were still fighting bloodily, and after more than an hour of scorching, the royal infantry also suffered three or four hundred casualties.

The enemy has so far killed and wounded more than 7,000 soldiers, which is a casualty ratio of nearly 20 to 1.

Grand Duke Wokalan under the city wall frowned and looked at the situation above the city wall, and the nobles behind him also whispered.

And at this time, a nobleman said: "Grand Duke Vokkaran, I think we should withdraw for the time being, the enemy's combat effectiveness is too strong, and it will be difficult for us to overcome the enemy's walls in a short time." ”

Grand Duke Vokkaran looked at the nobleman who spoke, and then at the other nobles, and saw that the other nobles were also very impressed with this man's proposal, and he understood that this was what everyone meant.

He looked helplessly at the battle situation on the city wall, and then at the nobles in front of him, sighed and said, "Okay, then ...... Retreat! ”

Of course, he didn't want to retreat, now that they had changed from active to passive, if they still wanted to win the war, they had to take advantage of this time to completely conquer the wall.

After all, just getting close to the city wall will cost three or four thousand infantry casualties, and if you retreat this time, then the next time you want to climb the city wall, you will have to pay another three or four thousand casualties.

After two consumptions, no one can bear this kind of loss, and it can be said that if they are withdrawn this time, the next attack will be ten times more difficult.

However, it seems that these nobles are very resolute, and it is useless for him to oppose them, so he can helplessly order the soldiers to withdraw.

Hearing the sound of the brass trump, the soldiers on the city wall heard the sound of retreat, and quickly ran in the direction of the ladder.

They thought there was some accident and scrambled to get out of the walls.

In this way, they suffered a lot of losses under the pursuit of the royal infantry and the trampling behavior of each other, and many of them even fell off the city wall in this way.

After losing hundreds of soldiers, they finally removed the walls, and even if they did, they still faced the frenzied fire of the archers.

This retreat alone cost them nearly a thousand losses, and when they withdrew, the nobles looked at their army and wanted to cry without tears, so many soldiers went, and only brought such a few people back.

On average, each of them lost almost a third of the regular army, and it can be said that they did not lose as much on the walls as they did during the siege.

But one is a serf, and the other is a regular army that has spent a lot of their effort and money, and the degree of attention is of course different.
