Chapter 63: The Siege

Stin soon led his men to organize harassment on the outskirts and prepare to pick up Davao's scattered soldiers.

The tentative offensive, which began two days ago, will occur dozens of times a day. They didn't really want to siege the city, troops, thousands, or even hundreds, ran and wandered outside the walls.

Feng Luo knew their purpose, which was mainly to clean up. Afraid that there will be traps on the battlefield, use a small force to wake up and clean up. At the same time, it also played a harassing role, preventing the soldiers defending the city from resting.

The soldiers defending the city were nervous and easily tired under the long-term harassment of the other party. You can also ignore it, but you don't know when it will turn into a real attack.

Feng Luo observed that the small army of harassment was constantly changing. There were about 50,000 people who had been harassed at least once.

Why did they do it?

Feng Luo believes that this is also a kind of training, running and retreating on the real battlefield, which is completely different from ordinary time. At the same time, they are also exploring the way and rehearsing the offensive and retreating routes in advance.

After such a few days of drills, by the day when the battle really broke out, the Haori army was familiar with it. And Davao's army also needs the coordination of generals. In other aspects, the strength is equal, and the advantages and disadvantages can be seen.

The time, the place, the people, the last one goes without saying. The Haori army itself is hoarded on the border, less than two hundred miles from the city of Fute, and the climate changes little. After some time of adaptation, there is no longer the phenomenon of water and soil adaptation.

It can be said that the Haori side is occupying an all-round advantage. And with the delay of time, the gap between the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides has further widened. Uneasiness spread rapidly in the city of Foot.

"After you go down, calm the soldiers' emotions, and there is no need to be nervous. The food reserves in Foote City are no problem for a year. Sparker said to the captains.

"Captain Spark, it's better for us to fight early. Recently, I have seen Haori's army become more and more arrogant, while our army is getting more and more panicked day by day. "It was Aborre who spoke. He came to Foote to make meritorious service, not to be locked up in the city.

Because of his identity, everyone only sighed in their hearts, but no one refuted him.

"Young Master Abory, you must know the truth that things must be reversed. Feng Luo took over. Others don't refute, and Sparker can't offend him, but he is Fengluo, who has no worries and can block it.

Aboré nodded, looking at Feng Luo in bewilderment.

"Haori is warlike, our soldiers are timid, the trend has become a trend, and it is difficult to change. But our soldiers are extremely afraid, but they will get used to being afraid and no longer panic. Haori soldiers are warlike, but they can't fight, and their momentum has nowhere to vent, so they will be anxious. Feng Luo explained.

Sparky glanced meaningfully at Feng Luo and said, "Baron Wind has a point. The Haori army is in desperate need of fighting, so we just don't give him a chance. Soon, they will adopt a siege strategy. We just need to defend the city and not let them succeed!"

Abory muttered in a low voice, looking at the lip shape, it should be the word "coward".

In the face of such a straw bale, if it weren't for the family behind him, Sparker would have sent him out to battle and died cleanly. He was noisy next to him, buzzing like a fly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as Baron Wind said, the Haori army is getting more and more agitated, and the siege is only in the last day or two!" Spark's words echoed in everyone's ears, "Foote City, I'm afraid it will usher in the fiercest attack since the founding of the city!"

Of course, Sparky will not draw conclusions based solely on Feng Luo's speculation, and there is also intelligence from various sources about the movement of the enemy army. The voice fell, and the audience was silent.

"Regardless of whether there is a grudge against each other, from today on, we must face life and death together!" Spark's voice was full of demagogy, "The enemy may attack for ten days in a row, or maybe a month, and there will always be a time when it will be exhausted." At that point, we'll win!"

Prosperity must decline, and when the wind is good, high morale can make the offensive more violent. Once you encounter a setback, it can also be a big deal. What Foote needs to do is to hold on to it during the peak period of Haori's army and wait until the moment of counteroffensive!

How many days would there be during that time? Feng Luo had flipped through the records of Qi Mingyuan's troops, and found that his perseverance far surpassed that of most generals. The most protracted assault took seven months before the fortress was finally breached.

Seven months, I'm afraid, is not the limit, it can go on for a while. So, if there is no other assistance, Foote City needs to hold out for at least seven months!

If the whole country of Davao is a soldier, after holding out in Foote City for a month or two, it will attack from all directions, echoing inside and outside, and it will not be impossible to win. Judging by the current situation, reinforcements will not arrive so early.

If we really work together, we shouldn't let the encirclement form. With Fute City as the center, attacking from multiple directions at the same time can create a stalemate even if it cannot drive the Haori army back to the border.

The earth-shattering drum sounded, and the whole earth shook with it. The soldiers inside and outside the city were all tense, and their weapons were in their hands. The soldiers under the city are even more urging their arteries and preparing to attack!

Sparker sensibly chose to hold on, except for the first time when there were more troops, and after that, they were harassed by small forces. Many people were dissatisfied with his tactics, saying that they were insulting to the country's decency. But most veterans of the battlefield support such an approach.

The Haori army had no choice but to take the city of Fute step by step. At the last moment, the siege became the only way for the war to continue.

The camp closest to the city wall, only three miles, was divided into two places, and a large flat area was vacated in the middle. The troops preparing to attack the city lined up in the open space and gradually advanced to about a mile before stopping.

"Woo-" The drum and trumpet made of the horns of the fire rhinoceros play the most exciting sound!

The generals of the Haori army waved their flags, and the infantry formation began to activate. Start with a slow walk, then speed up a jog, and finally start sprinting. The formation went from being tight at the beginning to being loose.

They had steel knives in one hand and shields in the other. The shield held by the squad leader is a special pulser, which not only increases its defense but also expands its range when activated.

The soldiers of the first wave of shock, the main task is to try, to put it bluntly, is to send them to death!

Foote City is so tall that it can be conquered by two thousand men at the head of the line, it is simply a pipe dream. Before they reached the city walls, the follow-up troops had already been dispatched, carrying long ladders.

"Bow and arrow, hold on, wait!" Spark, staring nervously at the battlefield below, issuing orders.

"Hold on! Wait!" the herald let go of his throat, sending Spark's order far away.

The soldiers put their feathered arrows on their bowstrings and forcefully left, their knuckles turning white. The young soldier's arms were shaking, and he didn't know if he was pushing too hard or nervous. They waited, waiting for the next command.

"Put!"

"Put!"
