Chapter 109: The Commander's Heart (Page 1/1)

Outside a city that is not big or small, flags are displayed, and swords and guns are like a forest. The walls of the city are more than five meters high, which is considered a very low wall in this world.

There was no one at the top of the city, because there were constant mortar shells from below, and one shot after another hit the city, bursting with sparks. The soldiers in the city were already frightened, even though the opponent had only five cannons. But this unprecedented weapon is so powerful that it has completely demoralized them.

The lord of the city was hesitating to surrender outside the city, but saw that the army outside the city had already organized a charge. The more than 100 warriors in front of him, who were a little taller than the warriors behind them, wore only simple leather armor, and their thick tendons bulged out of the leather armor, full of oppressive power, and they held axes and giant swords in their hands, waving and gesturing at the city, and let out a loud howl.

Berserker!

The city lord had never seen an army of berserkers in formation, he had only heard of the strength and madness of these warriors. I didn't expect the earl to send such a terrible team to his remote battlefield.

I heard that the worst berserker also has low-level strength, and if he goes berserk, his strength will be doubled. Thinking about it with his ass, he knows that such a team is by no means something that his rabble can compete with.

He hurriedly ordered one of his subordinates to wave the banner of the Temple of Nature and go out of the city to surrender to the other side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the envoy left the city through the side gate, he was blown into char by the oncoming fireball. The city lord panicked, and saw that the woman on the opposite hillside outside the city had made a throat-slitting gesture to him, and he was not even ready to give him a chance to surrender.

This is exactly the team of Count Carlos attacking the city of Gronia on the Eastern Front. The woman on the hillside is naturally Selinda, who is the commander of the earl's partial division.

This is the third city Selinda has attacked. The previous two cities basically did not experience any fighting, and they were directly occupied by her. And Gronia, a small city leading to the eastern seaport, was the first city they actually launched a siege war.

When Selinda and Li Jia set out from Ariac, they had only more than a thousand troops under their command. Among them, more than a hundred berserkers, as well as five mortars obtained from the Chinese, are what they rely on the most.

However, Selinda soon showed her aristocratic nature. Every time she conquered a city, she recruited a large number of peasants and townspeople into her army. It's not that her army is popular, but that on the one hand, she used coercion and lure to forcibly coerce and coerce many people. On the other hand, he threw a lot of money and recruited all the mercenaries he encountered on the road. After passing through two cities and several small towns, her team swelled like balloons. By the time she arrived at the city of Gronia, her party had more than 3,000 men. Although the quality is not flattering, at least the momentum is very scary. Li Jia complained about the way he recruited soldiers, but Selinda said that this was the way the nobles had always fought wars.

"If you can get the Chinese to equip us with air guns and pneumatic guns in large numbers, and train the army like you do, I don't have to capture these people into our ranks." But now, do you want me to fight with a couple of small pistols and five mortars, and learn your way?

Don't think I'm cruel, what kind of cards you have in your hand, what kind of play you should have. It's a natural thing, and it's not something you or I can solve with just open your mouth. ”

So Li Jia could only look at Selinda and pull up a team in the traditional way of the nobles.

Standing on the hillside opposite the city, Li Jia said, "The lord on the other side is obviously about to surrender, why did you blow up his messenger into the sky?"

Selinda shook off her cloak, looking impressing, and she said with a straight face: "I gave him a day to think about it, and told him the consequences of not surrendering. He kept my words on his ears, so it's no wonder I kept my word.

Isn't trustworthiness one of the most important qualities of a commander?"

Li Jia clenched his fists, and his voice trembled a little: "Could it be that you really want to slaughter the city?" ”

"I gave him a chance, but he didn't give him a chance. Selinda turned and gestured to the warriors who had already assembled at the bottom of the slope, "As their lord and commander, I have promised them what they will get. When the Lord of Gronia rejected my kindness, everything in the city had already been allocated to them. Yes, burning and looting is an inevitable end, for all the lives and riches of this city have been handed over to my warriors.

Shall I take back from them what I have already given them, and if the wealth is not given to these warriors who are loyal to us, should it be kept in the hands of those who oppose us?"

"But...... In addition to wealth, we can also keep human lives and send them to other uses. Li Jiadao.

"Letting them die is their best use. There will be a tough battle in Antolia behind, and my father never expected us to take this fortified city. But I had to do it to show him and see my strength and ability.

So, our elite fighters are in dire need of a fight, a small but decent battle to boost their stats.

Do the new recruits, who are still peasants with hoes, know what it takes to turn them into real warriors?"

Li Jia knew this answer in her heart, but she couldn't bear to say it.

But Selinda said without hesitation: "See blood! Only when they have killed people, and after seeing blood, can they transform from a peasant into a warrior, which is more useful than any training." In the past, some people even directly ignited their fighting spirit in the process of killing, and I hope we have such good luck today. ”

At this moment, a tall berserker walked up the hill and reported to Selinda, "Lord Selinda, there is a section of the wall that has collapsed, and we should be able to organize a charge." I believe that as long as we rush in, all this waste in the city will fall apart. Your Excellency just needs to give the order and wait for our good news!"

Selinda said: "Lumière, convey my order, the attack begins! I don't want any property in the city, and give it all to the soldiers who rush into the city!"

"Yes, my lord, I'll seal it off!" said Lumière.

"Very good, let's go!" Celinda saw Li Jia's blue face and said, "Honey, just get used to it." You can't accept this because you don't have the heart to be a commander yet. ”
