Perhaps out of anger at being suppressed and beaten by the Deciks two months before the start of the war, as soon as the Battle of Sedan began, the entire Shang Allies began to attack the castle of Sedan as if they were crazy.

The city of Sedan is a fortified city, and the entire city, including the "Castle of Carcassonne", is built on a large limestone foundation, a large section above the ground nearby. Carcassonne Castle is the heart of the city, an all-stone castle with six conical towers and a three-mile perimeter wall, which is designed to be difficult to breach after tens of thousands of Desik defenders entered.

The Deciks apparently came prepared, leaving behind the carriages around the city of Sedan to show that they had entered the castle with plenty of food and grass, and that a large number of Decic soldiers were guarding the main lanes of the city, while the archers and crossbowmen were on the castle walls, which provided the best views.

The Shang Allied forces now had two parts, General Guo's army attacking from the northwest, and General Etienne's army attacking from the east. This war made the Shang Alliance lose their minds, and such an opportunity to surround the Desik army made the remaining attacking soldiers extremely excited, and even the officers wanted to put on their armor and go forward to fight. Everyone seems to have forgotten that at this time, the siege seems to be the best solution.

The attacking and defending sides came from the Verdun area to the city of Sedan, and the order of attack and defense was reversed, with the Desiks becoming the defenders and the Shang allies becoming the attackers.

Who knows, this battle is unusually weird.

The Shang Alliance removed a large number of door panels and furniture from the nearby orchards, and made simple large protective gear to cover the charge of the Shang League soldiers, Carcasson Castle and limestone foundation as high as 50 degrees, a large number of Shang Alliance soldiers rushed to the city, only to find that they were helpless, they could not go up this wall. The Desiks on the city wall used their bows and arrows to shoot the soldiers of the merchant alliance below into a sieve one by one.

The first wave of attacks was almost delivered, and the hundreds of merchant soldiers were left behind under the walls of Carcassonne without even making a sound. The brutal reality calmed down the commanders and officers of the Shang Alliance, and they had to set up camp outside the city of Sedang. As a result, the enthusiastic Shang Allied army was exhausted by only the first wave of attacks, and the siege war turned into a siege war again.

General Guo Lao came to the camp of the mercenary corps of the Shang League that night, and the two supreme commanders of the Shang League's eastern and western fronts carefully analyzed the current situation and agreed that their choice to besiege the Desik people under the city of Sedang might be the way to suffer the least losses. But now there is another question: the reinforcements of the Desiks came quickly, or the reinforcements of the Shang allies came quickly?

Obviously, the Shang allies surrounded the Desiks in the city of Sedan and the castle of Carcassonne, and if there were no reinforcements, these tens of thousands of people would have been defeated due to the shortage of food and weapons. The two closest Desik armies were the thousands of Steppenwolf riders in the Sunset Mountains, and the remaining attacking army of General Alwyn in the Verdun region. But one of them was far away, and the other was held back by the remaining merchant allies in the Verdun area, and they were unable to come to support for a while.

The only possibility is in the forward base near the Dunkirk Bridge, Deathstroke City, where the situation is not clear at the moment, who knows if Emperor De Sick will mobilize more troops from the country into the Shang Alliance, and the scale of the war will escalate again, this possibility is still very high.

And the Shang League, after the start of the Battle of Verdun, also began to recruit troops again, and the thirteen new armies formed in previous years suffered losses in the war, and the replenishment of new soldiers was very untimely. This is where the Shang League is not as good as the Desik Empire, the land of the northern barbarians, warlike and savage, and many civilians take pride in serving in the army.

The two supreme commanders discussed all night, but did not come up with a suitable plan, and continuing the assault would only cause more unnecessary losses, after all, the casualties of the merchant alliance army in the Verdun area were not small. Fortunately, after the Desik army in front of him was besieged, the safety of the cities within the Shang Alliance was guaranteed.

In addition, they also asked the battalions to make some siege tools as soon as possible, including trebuchets, chariots (Note 1), arrow towers, etc., and the necessary attacks must continue. At the same time, it is necessary to send additional scouts to the east, less than four hundred miles from here, which is under the control of Deathknell City, the base of Desik's advance, and everyone knows that the Desik will definitely mobilize troops to relieve the siege, and they cannot let the tens of thousands of people of General Florian be besieged here in vain.

Although General Etienne and General Guo Lao had taken more precautions, after all, the actions of the De Scik army were so suspicious that they completely violated the common sense of ordinary war. But when the black wolf rode towards the camp on the northern horizon, General Guo was still shocked and had nothing to say.

Among the many possibilities he had discussed with General Etienne, the arrival of reinforcements from the forward base near Dunkirk was a more likely scenario, but from the north-west, it was also too surprising.

"Don't be alarmed, there can't be so many people in the northwest direction, we have a camp, hold the camp, the spearmen come forward, the archers line up in the wall, intercept, intercept! General Guo climbed up the arrow tower and observed for a while, in the distance, the smoke and dust raised by the wolf rider covered the sky and the sun, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but when the experienced General Guo came down, he had regained his composure and was giving orders in an orderly manner.

Jim Guderian was leading his more than 1,000 wolf horsemen to pounce on General Guo's camp from not far away, and it was dusk at this moment, and the wolf horsemen who had been lurking all the way to General Guo's army had been secretly hiding in the mountains and forests in the north for several days. Every day, watching the merchants lazily go to the city of Sedang to show their teeth and claws, the archers sparsely landed on the ground to shoot a few arrows at the city wall, and several tall catapults were still in the process of construction. Jim would smile and say to his subordinates: "The people who make the plan for dusk see the merchants very thoroughly, and once it comes to this kind of desperate attack, their true nature will be exposed. That's why our plan is to choose defense rather than offense. Of course, in the end, there is still to attack. ”

All the wolf riders had huge branches tied to their tails, and the wolf riders also held some lit wolf cigarette packets in their hands, and each knight had a mask on his face and only showed his two eyes outside, so that he would not be blinded by the wolf smoke emitted. Steppenwolf, however, is not afraid of this, the eyes of beasts are much better than those of humans.

More than a thousand wolves rode under the cover of black smoke and dust, and Hulala rushed from the north, concentrating on attacking the Shang Alliance soldiers in Sedan City, until the sound of the horn "Woo Woo" came from behind them, and they realized that there was an enemy coming to sneak attack behind them.

General Guo's command was calm, and the spearmen and archers were quickly in place. When the wolf cavalry charged about 300 grams, a large number of archers released their bowstrings, and their feathered arrows slashed into the air, flying like a dark cloud towards the black mist in the distance.

In the black mist, the wolves were very divided, and the wolf smoke and dust gave them good cover, so that the Shang Alliance misjudged the number of incoming enemies, and these scattered wolves were almost not lost when they were hit by bows and arrows. A large number of bows and arrows actually only hit the clearing, and the speed of the wolf rider was too fast, and it quickly rushed through the attack range of the first wave of bows and arrows.

"Trumpet, assemble!" cried General Jim to the trumpeter. In the hands of the rhythmic "woo woo" horn, a large number of Steppenwolf riders began to gather, and in the invisible place in the black fog, all the wolf riders had gathered together, forming a sharp blade, towards a point in the camp of the Shang Alliance, and hatefully broke through.

However, no one realized that according to the Dusk Plan, General Jim's attack was actually a feint. The momentum of Steppenwolf's attack gave everyone an illusion.

When General Guo's herald bypassed the city of Sedang and came to General Etienne's camp, the officers of the merchant alliance mercenaries also heard the sound of horns from the north, and everyone was asking each other, "Is it the reinforcements of the Desik people?" Fortunately, the herald soon brought the news that in the north, there were a large number of Desik wolf horses, and General Guo now needed to leave his people from the siege area and turn around to deal with the reinforcements.

In the news brought by the herald, it was already very clear how General Guo would respond. Although he did not say it explicitly, Etienne naturally knew what the general meant, and he now had two choices: to go to the aid of the whole army, or to strengthen the attack on the city of Sedang, in case the Desiks abandoned the city and went out to attack the rear of the old general Guo.

"Any news from the scouts, is there any sign of the Desch in the east?" Etienne asked his lieutenant.

"Not for the time being, the east is very quiet, there is not a shadow of a Desik. ”

Fate seems to have played another joke on the Merchant Alliance, and their supreme commander on the Eastern Front, General Etienne, the commander of the mercenary corps, will make a choice to decide the fate of the Merchant Alliance for the second time in a matter of days.

General Etienne did not speak, but there was a fierce confrontation in his heart, as if two villains were arguing in his mind: "Rescue, no rescue! Rescue, no rescue!"

The adjutant stepped forward and whispered: "General Guo's side has been attacking Sedang City for the past few days, and now it is suddenly attacked, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it, after all, he has a newly formed army in his hands, and his combat experience is not as rich as our mercenary army." ”

General Etienne nodded, "I understand what you mean, what I'm worried about is that if we go to the rescue and these Desiks come out of the city, even if we crush the Desik reinforcements and let these tens of thousands of people escape, then our sacrifice these days will be in vain." ”

The adjutant continued, "Let's leave a small number of troops to keep an eye on, as most of these Desiks are foot soldiers and can't get anywhere." ”

Perhaps it was the adjutant's last words that made General Etienne decide, "You're right, even if they run, they won't be able to run anywhere." Pass my order, leave three regiments, and the rest of the men pull out the camp, and we will go and exterminate the Desik reinforcements!"

No one thought that the Desik people of Sedan City had never wanted to escape from the beginning, who was the cat and who was the mouse in this cat-and-mouse game?

Note 1: The rush here is not a self-made rush car made by Kostta, but a common siege vehicle. It was covered with wooden planks to shield the arrows, and the soldiers hid under their vehicles to approach the battlefield.
