Chapter 32: The Last Siege

Alas~

Chris paced back and forth in the tent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info's brow furrowed, and his eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't slept well for days, and the siege had plagued him all day. I thought that Essis was just an empty city, but it would be able to defeat it in a few days. Who knew that it had been almost ten days of fighting, and the soldiers under him were exhausted, and they still had no intention of attacking.

In particular, Essis even came up with a defensive weapon like a trebuchet. It greatly weakened the suppression of your own firepower. As a result, the casualties of the siege rose sharply. If it weren't for the financial and material support of the businessmen, Chris would have been unable to support it a long time ago. If you can't defeat the city of Essis again, when Ouranos returns to the army, you won't have a chance!

Report~!

Just as Chris was in distress, a soldier sped in from outside the tent. "Lord Baron, we find an army approaching from the east and a from the west. The flag of the other party is unknown, and I don't know where it is. ā€

"What?!" Chris's heart tightened, could it be that Ouranos is back?!!! "Take me there!"

Chris swept directly past the herald beside him, quickly ran out of the tent, and galloped on his horse.

By the time Chris had gathered a team of knights and gone to investigate. The two teams of unknown origin were already only a kilometer or two away from the camp.

Chris looked from afar, and at a glance dispelled the thought in his mind. They are not the army of Ouranos. Because they don't have that signature red attire. In today's world, only the Ouranos family would use such a conspicuous and coquettish red color to unify his army.

The characteristics of these two units are very distinct, that is, one word -- chaos!

Messy marching processions, noisy shouts, colorful flags. Groups of three, gangs of five, were more undisciplined than Chris's conscription militia. These two teams cannot be called armies at all, they are just a group of outcasts.

Christie's heart relaxed. Against these two rabble, it only takes a single round of cavalry charges to wipe them out.

"Don't worry, Lord Baron, this is our reinforcements." Griffin arrived from the camp and immediately explained in Chris's ear.

"Reinforcements?"

In fact, for the longer and longer war, it is not only Chris, Griffin is even more anxious. As a representative of the major chambers of commerce in Essis, he has been completely tied to Chris since he sent food and equipment to Chris. If Chris loses, then the major chambers of commerce in Esis will definitely not have good fruit to eat. So for Chris's war, Griffin is particularly concerned.

These two groups of men and horses were the new forces that Griffin temporarily recruited when the war was unfavorable. It can be seen from the appearance that such a loose and sloppy man will definitely not be a regular army. In fact, Griffin didn't want to hire those powerful mercenaries. But those mercenaries are too far away to quench their thirst.

So Griffin had to temporarily send people to collect people nearby. And most of these two troops, in fact, were originally bandits and bandits entrenched in various parts of Esis. There are also some thieves, hooligans and other underworld people from all over the world. After Allen strengthened the management and military repression in various places, a large number of rogue bandits were defeated. These defeated people could no longer form a fixed organization, so they could only hide in towns and fields everywhere. Survive by beating the autumn wind.

Under Griffin's powerful money offensive and hatred for the Essis government, this group of scum can be regarded as having the courage to join Chris's righteous coalition and overthrow the **** of Ouranos.

After Chris listened to Griffin's explanation, he glanced at the ragtags with disdain and spat them contemptuously. If he had left it alone, he wouldn't have wanted to take these people seriously. But now is an extraordinary time, plus these scum people count more than 2,000 people, so it is difficult to use.

Turning his head to look at the tall walls of Essis on the other side, Chris was ruthless in his heart, determined not to sit still.

"Order! Get ready to attack! ā€œ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guy stood at the head of the city, looking at Chris's barracks with a telescope. The siege of the city for several days took him a lot of energy, but fortunately, with the help of the dwarves' stone throwers and the medical aid of the elves, the intensity of the other party's siege and the casualties of the soldiers greatly slowed down, and Chris has been in vain.

Now he is the same as Chris, he is now covered in blood, his hair is messy, and his beard has grown from his face. was originally a personable girl's favorite uncle, but now he has become an uncle, and he still feels like a bad old man. But he can't care so much at this time.

I saw that Guy suddenly put down the telescope, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up, the enemy is attacking!" ā€

As soon as the soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting with weapons on their shoulders heard Guy's shout, they immediately struck a stir, quickly got up and walked into the battle position. After a few days of fighting, it was clear that the soldiers were also getting acquainted with each other.

However, Guy did not stop, he turned his head and said to Constantine, who had been standing behind him: "You immediately lead five hundred men to the east gate for reinforcements!" ā€

"Huh?" Constantine asked, puzzled, "General, what happened?" Originally, we only had 1,500 people to defend, and if we transferred 500 people, how could we hold it?! ā€

Guy said with a solemn face: "I can't control so much, the other party is going to attack." ā€

This siege was obviously different from the previous one, and Chris's army no longer surrounded the city of Essis. Instead, all the troops were divided into three parts, attacking the western, northern, and eastern gates of Esis. He also saw that Guy's troops were small, and once the area of defense increased, it was inevitable that he would lose sight of one or the other. Especially when he had 2,000 fresh troops, he became more and more determined in his idea of fighting this decisive battle.

Originally, Chris's 8,000 army had suffered nearly 2,000 casualties in these days, and now it has regained its size of 8,000 men. He put the scum team at the east gate. And he led the team to attack the north gate and the west gate.

Sure enough, Chris has changed. The originally compact defense on the north gate immediately thinned out a lot.

"It's a matter of success or failure!" Chris said to himself fiercely.

"Give me an attack!" The knight's sword was drawn and pointed directly at Escis. (To be continued.) )
