With a bang, there was a crack in the armor, blood gushed out of the crack, and the ferociousness in the eyes of the armor owner still had residual warmth, but the flame of life was about to be extinguished. Behind www.biquge.info pen, a hand grabbed him on the shoulder, pulled him backwards with force, and he lost his balance and slowly fell to the ground, and then fell rapidly from the city wall to the ground. Under him, there was also a soldier who couldn't dodge, his eyes were staring out, and the blood spurting out of his mouth and nose splashed more than a meter away, twitching slightly, and he was about to die.

This is just a scene that can be seen everywhere in siege warfare, and the original purpose of the city was to defend the imperial capital, and it is more like a fortress of war than a city. The Acropolis is very similar to Ortrenburg, both have extremely high and thick walls, the gaps between the masonry of the walls are small, and the overall walls are smooth as mirrors, which are very difficult to climb, and can only rely on siege equipment.

Once you lose your balance at the moment you climb the city wall, there is only one end, and that is to fall to your death.

In order to prevent the opponent from smoothly climbing the city wall, there is already a textbook-like defensive formation in the siege warfare of this world. Horses and pikemen, supplemented by heavily armed soldiers, are the best defensive equipment. The purpose of the rejection of the horses was to prevent the knights who had forced their way to the top of the wall from having room to run, and by the way, it also made it difficult for the soldiers to continue the attack after climbing the wall. The Scythe soldiers stand behind the rejection and only need a mechanical stab to prevent the enemy from crossing the rejection.

The hoplites, on the other hand, were meant to kill the enemy and cavalry after they had crossed the horses, acting like human-shaped obstacles and fortresses to provide a certain degree of cover for other soldiers.

It stands to reason that such a well-developed defense should have prevented most enemies from ascending the city, but this is not the case. The knights rushed from the runway of the boarding car to the top of the city wall, and once they made a certain amount of space for the soldiers to climb up, the city wall was bound to fail.

The wide walls were definitely a good place to sprint, and once a knight ran away, it was enough to push twenty or thirty defenders out of their posts, creating a chain reaction.

In the final analysis, whether it is attacking a city or defending a city, the first thing to fight is morale, and the morale is strong, and the natural combat effectiveness is strong, and it will not be afraid or even escape.

And in the end, what is fighting is personal courage and the spirit of sacrifice, and it is purely to exchange life for life.

Just like the siege battle that took place in Ortlenburg, the people of Ortlenburg, who lacked weapons, used their fingers and teeth as weapons to drive waves of enemies off the city walls. They will even rush at the enemy, holding one or two enemies and jumping down the city wall together.

Only this kind of spirit and courage that is not afraid of death is the factor that can really affect the outcome in siege warfare!

At this time, the soldiers defending the city, both in terms of morale and courage, were at their peak. Behind them is the core of this empire, inhabited by the Emperor of the Orlando Empire. And under them is their own family, the city that raised them. Whether it is to protect these things that must be guarded, or for glory and merit, they have reasons and courage to fight to the death.

Siege warfare is brutal, no matter whether it is won or lost and what the situation is, neither the besieging side nor the defending side can take a step back.

Either survive and continue to fight, or turn into corpses and lie on the ground!

From ten o'clock in the morning, one fight to half past eleven, a large number of fighters closed their eyes forever for nearly a hundred minutes. In fact, sometimes some things are just so ridiculous, whether they win or lose or whatever, the final result actually has nothing to do with themselves. They gambled their lives for the sake of someone else's future, and perhaps it was this kind of behavior, which some people thought was stupid, that made the world rich and colorful, and made some things more resounding.

The sound of the trumpets echoed in the air, and the soldiers began to retreat like a tidal wave, leaving behind dead bodies all over the field. Both sides obeyed the rules of the war and began to clean the battlefield and distinguish the corpses. The bodies of the besiegers would be burned by Isaac's soldiers, while the bodies of the defenders would be sent into the city in hanging baskets, returned to their families, and buried in their respective cemeteries.

An atmosphere of silence and sadness hung over the entire city of Astrals, and Isaac wondered why Grace and Greon didn't take the opportunity to attack it.

This time he only brought 90,000 men, not counting the farmers. 50,000 people were taken to attack the city, and the remaining 40,000 people faced the first and second guards, and the numerical advantage had been wiped out.

But why, they didn't show up?

Did they realize that Isaac was ready for anything, or did they think that the morning battle was not the right time?

For a moment, Isaac's mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't understand it.

He finally hesitated and made a decision, that is, when it came time to attack the city again, send more soldiers, leaving only 20,000 men to defend the central army, and give Grace and Greon a more ample chance.

These two people are like the last hurdle on his way to the throne, as long as they get through it, they will be flat!

After lunch, we rested for about three hours, and launched the second siege at about three o'clock. The autumn afternoon sun is not strong, and even if you wear heavy armor and tight leather armor, you will not sweat profusely to the point of collapse. There are so many factors to consider in war, and the kind of battle that begins at noon on dog days is often a dramatic need.

The temperature of thirty or forty degrees made those soldiers in armor faint in half an hour, let alone siege battles, even the confrontation in formations could not be done.

The 70,000 men were divided into 14 phalanxes of 5,000 men for the second round of attacks on the city walls, and the reason why they were so divided was that Isaac was luring the Grace brothers to take out the last hole cards. He was afraid that the 70,000 men were too concentrated, and that the Grace brothers would continue to wait for an opportunity, thus prolonging the siege process again.

Without the elimination of these two brothers and the First and Second Guards, Isaac will not be at ease for a day.

Especially the Imperial Generalissimo Grace himself, who has never been defeated in his life, is the undefeated god of war of the Orlando Empire, as long as he is one day, the Orlando family will still have hope to make a comeback.

The situation of the war is still stalemate, and the defenders of the city have almost taken out all the strength to eat, and waves of offensives have attacked the wall, and they have been driven down by the defenders. Blowing in the cool autumn breeze, Isaac looked at the peaceful wilderness around him and finally realized that something was not quite right. He wasn't sure if the Grace brothers were ambushing somewhere near the left, or if they weren't here at all.

It stands to reason that the signs of his attack on the city of Guardians have already been revealed, and with the war literacy of Generalissimo Grace, he should have known his goal, but the current situation is not at all what he imagined, it seems that the Empress Pars and the two brothers are encouraging him to sit back and watch him take the city.

When people do something, what they are most afraid of is questioning themselves.

I may not be able to do it well, I may not be able to do it, I may fail completely...... Once such thoughts appear, they will be like wildfires burning the prairie and causing a series of accidents.

Do you want to attack the city of Agarets?

It was not difficult to take down the city, as long as he sent a signal according to the agreed plan, the Earl of Birmingham would cooperate with him in a play to give him victory. But what about after victory?

At this time, Isaac seemed to be walking in the dark, and the weeds on both sides of the road were overgrown, and he could not see the slightest thing, and could only faintly hear some rustles of the wind blowing by. The brightly lit city gates in the distance were not far from him, and he only had to take the last few steps to step through the darkness and reach the light. But it was these last few steps that gave him a great sense of danger, as if something was ready to burst out of the darkness at any moment and strike him a fatal blow!

Grace!

Grien!

Looking at the calm wilderness, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, the city of Acropolis is under attack, and two of the other three satellite cities should immediately send men to their aid. Star City and Moon City are not far away, and it will take you three or five hours at most. From yesterday to now, let alone reinforcements, not even a single scout has been seen. At this point in national calamity, why didn't they come to the rescue? How dare they not come to the rescue?

Isaac had been focusing on Grace and the Greon brothers, ignoring this detail. However, at this time, he finally discovered this clue, didn't Star City and Moon City know that the City of Guards was being attacked?

So why didn't they come?

Are they the same as the Grace and Greon brothers, what are they all preparing?

Looking at the empty wilderness, Isaac's scalp tingled, and he immediately summoned his most trusted staff to his side and told him his doubts.

The staff member listened carefully and analyzed it a little before he tried to ask, "Is the Earl of Birmingham really so reliable?"

This question exploded directly in Isaac's mind, yes, did the Earl of Birmingham really take refuge in their aristocratic group as Pilagos said? Yes, it was fine, but if it wasn't.......

He couldn't help but shudder, could it be that the Orlando family had already begun to lay out for what was happening today years ago, or even longer?

Is it the Queen of Pars?

Or Orlando VI?

At the end of his gaze, the peaceful imperial capital was in his eyes at this time, like a monster that was ready to open its mouth and choose people to devour!
