I have to admit that the siege battles that took place in the 6th year of the magic calendar are very interesting, and most of them have been listed as classic tutorials by later knight schools.

It is a well-known fact that siege warfare is one of the most boring parts of the field of warfare. No matter how famous a commander is, when he encounters a very mediocre general defending the city, as long as the opponent has sufficient food and grass and human resources are not too scarce, then the outcome of the war is often set in stone. Similarly, no matter how famous a commander is, if he does not have enough soldiers and materials in his hands, even if he defends a natural danger, he is destined to be overcome. The so-called empty city plan in history was only created by a bard named "Luo Guanzhong" out of worship of his idol. Moreover, if it wasn't the suspicious dark elf Sima Yi who led the army at that time, but replaced by a typical stunned berserker like Xu Chu and Dian Wei, or a half-orc general like Pang De, Zhang Jaw, or even Xiahou Yuan, who were known for their bravery, the empty city plan would have become a joke long ago.

The fundamental reason why these siege battles that took place in the 6th year of the magical calendar were treated with such a high standard was the unprecedented changes that were displayed during this period.

Among them, the most classic battles were the first attack and defense of Hamburg and the attack and defense of Delhi, which undoubtedly created a new tactical method respectively.

The second offensive and defensive battle of Hamburg followed, and when later military experts mentioned this battle, most people would use words like "happy!" to describe their feelings. On both sides of the war, one was an excellent commander who was already famous at that time, and the other was a 22-year-old boy who had not yet been able to temporarily emerge in the field of military use. In the first round of the battle, the attacking side did not have an advantage or even a slight weakness, while the defending side was trapped in a lonely city, although it had a strong counterattack ability, but it was extremely careful to maintain this advantage for a longer time.

The two sides switched between attack and defense very quickly, constantly and repeatedly mobilizing troops in a very short period of time, making false and false statements, creating an illusion for the opponent as much as possible, attacking freely and vigorously, and defending as steadily as a mountain. Just like an old fox who has been enlightened for many years covets the delicacy in front of him - a small rattlesnake, the old fox keeps circling around hoping to find the weakness of the rattlesnake and swallow it in one fell swoop, while the little snake knows that there is not much venom in his fatal blow, and constantly bluffs to show his sharp teeth, hiding the thick killing intent under his immature face.

Seeing the smoke billowing from the city, Dahaino did not hesitate to push all his troops out, but just as the roaring troops rushed up a hundred meters or so, the old commander suddenly asked the herald to order the entire line to retreat except for the troops that Mora Beast had invested first.

The commanders of the thousand people simply did not believe that such an order was given by their most respected marshal, the smoke went high, and the keen eyes of the orcs had already seen that the soldiers on the head of the city were in chaos, and there was almost no smoke on the side of the Phanos legion under the city, this was simply a golden opportunity, how could you give it up?" Such thoughts did not just flash through the mind of an officer.

Out of respect for the old handsome, almost blind worship, the winding ...... No, it's the sharp arrow that has been off the string that has been forcibly retracted again.

At the moment when the soldiers had just withdrawn to the starting point, the sky that had just lit up was dark again in an instant, and the sun, which seemed to have just risen from the eastern sky, was immediately slapped back by a certain giant.

And the stones struck down like a storm...... No...... More precisely, it is like a boundless dark cloud covering us. Moramon described the scene after the battle: "The boulder hit the ground with a roar that resounded through the sky, and the sound completely covered the neighing of the two dragons, and the ground in front of it was smashed down by more than half a meter on average. "Orcs are not a talkative race, and this description comes from the mouth of one of the supreme commanders of the orcs, and it is extremely credible.

The toughest bear soldiers looked at the ground in front of them, their eyes revealing fear of death. Thousands of stones fell to the ground at the same time, ramming the ground in front of the soldiers' feet by half a meter, and countless stones were evenly scattered, like paving a square with bluestone.

The first few thousand-man teams sent by Moramon had already pushed out the rush to about 150 meters in front of Hamburg City, and from here, the rush did not have much effect - there were hundreds of stone steps in front of it. The lucky ones looked back at the ground behind them, and their faces looked like dead ashes.

The catapults in the city of Hamburg continue to fire, and the stones are still raining down.

And in fact, after the first round of catapult launches, an icy chill drifted through Daqingshan's mind, oops, hit. "Stop the catapults launching! Quick!" Da Qingshan shouted loudly on the city wall, but unfortunately, the billowing black smoke not only attacked the sight of the soldiers, 120 catapults were distributed in a radius of two kilometers, and no one heard this order at all in the riot.

Da Qingshan grabbed an elven elder beside him: "Your Excellency immediately go to the place where the mine is smoking, and use magic to seal the mine, can you do it?"

"Yes! I'll go now. The middle-aged elf replied in the affirmative.

"Quick! Remember. There are two mines in total. After speaking, in the thick smoke, Daqingshan went down the runway to the city, under the city, there was not much smoke, and several middle-level cadres of the small mercenary group were going to the mine to fill in the quilt under the command.

"Come here!" Da Qingshan grabbed a middle-level cadre. Now the number of small mercenary groups is increasing exponentially every year, and several major cadres are often absent from the regiment.

The teenagers had never seen Da Qingshan have such an expression, and everyone was shocked. Several middle-level cadres all ran over.

"You don't have to worry about the mines, the elven elders are in charge. Send someone to inform all the catapults at once, stop firing at once, immediately, quickly, disobey the order, behead. Repeat!"

His Excellency, the First Deputy Commander, who never spoke in a commanding tone, actually used three times in one sentence, which was unprecedented. The three mercenary cadres at the rank of Qu Chang repeated the order loudly: "All catapults stop firing, and those who disobey the order will be killed." Then he rushed out with his direct subordinates.

"Great swordsmen, elven archers, berserkers, swordsmen, all assembled! Prairie archers, all assembled!" Daqingshan roared loudly under the city walls.

The relevant mercenaries under the city wall immediately noticed the deputy commander, and the good boys who didn't know what to do quickly ran over, and the two small mercenary group swordsman battalion seal horn trumpeters broke free from the panicked crowd and immediately sounded the emergency assembly call within the small mercenary group.

Groups of mercenaries ran towards the sound of the horn, and the fourth deputy commander of the small mercenary group, the steppe elf archer, Gelsu, also beckoned his subordinates to run over.

"You're just in time. Daqingshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gelsu: "Dahainuo uses a trick to consume the stones of our catapult, I estimate that all those stones were blinded just now." Some of the enemy have already arrived under the city with rushing carts, and I will take a few battalions to destroy them, and you will watch from the city wall with the battalion of steppe archers, and if the enemy headquarters dares to rush past to meet them, immediately smash them with catapults. By the way, only a quarter of the standard amount is thrown at each stone. In this way, the range of the catapult is far more than the standard by tens of meters, do not waste it. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Gelsu saluted Daqingshan like a junior mercenary and led the team away.

Da Qingshan looked back at the groups of teenagers in front of him, and pursed his lips vigorously: "The enemy has rushed to the city, I won't say anything else, everyone should know our relationship with this part of the enemy, I need someone to go down with me to fight these enemies." Mercenaries who are not psychologically prepared, stay and are not ashamed. Now, those who are mentally prepared immediately go to the gate of the city to assemble, and the drums are sounded to kill, and the trumpets are sounded to withdraw. I repeat: 'The drum beats to kill, and the trumpet withdraws.'" ’”

The war between the small mercenary group and the Phanos Legion did not require any mobilization, and several successive wars had already drawn a bottomless chasm between the two sides, and under this chasm were the bones of tens of thousands of people. Recently, more than 10,000 Northern Federation soldiers have been framed by the Fanos Legion, and the hatred of the country and the family has become a mess, and it is impossible to solve it no matter what.

Without any hesitation, all the named mercenaries threw down the extra equipment in their hands and quickly ran towards the city gate under the leadership of their own direct cadres. At this moment, someone quit.

Previously, Horns was also going to send the swordsman battalion to quietly go to the Huayu Plain to assist Chi Aotian on the expedition, as soon as the news was revealed, several other swordsman battalions were about to fall out, and the middle-level cadres saw Horns and euphemistically expressed the determination of their subordinates to participate in the war, most of the teenagers just opened their mouths, and they couldn't speak, and tears rolled down their cheeks. Ordinary mercenary warriors, especially teenagers from the frozen continent, don't know how to express their pious attitude. The ice and snow boys, who have never been able to play tricks, think of ways to serve Horns more comfortably every day, and the mercenaries who wash their faces in the morning and their feet in the evening are lined up at the gate of the small mercenary group. If it weren't for Horns' later departure, there must have been a small mercenary leaving Hamburg for the Plains of Flowers.

Now that the enemy has reached the doorstep, watching the mercenary battalion named by the seal horn running towards the city gate, the mercenaries of the knight battalion and the berserker knight battalion are a little confused, why, how can this not have its own business?

In order to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony, almost all the commanders of the other battalions went to the dragon sealing platform, and only the commanders of these two battalions were all in Hamburg City.

There was a loud voice in the distance that should not be human, and a sturdy big man urged the dragon to rush over, urgently grabbed the mount in front of Da Qingshan, and jumped down with a bang: "Brother Da Qingshan, why is there no matter of our berserker knight camp? We are raised by our stepmother!" When Brother Amy was here, good things never pulled me down, as soon as Brother Amy left, there was no business for us to follow Brother Chi Aotian to the Huayu Plain, and there was no business for us to Fenglong, and now the enemy is fighting under the city wall, and there is no business for us, why, why, why!! Brother Daqingshan, you want to kill me in a hurry......" The captain of the berserker knight battalion was flushed, jumped on the ground and stomped his feet, picked up the battle axe in his hand and chopped the ground, and the half-foot-thick bluestone slabs cracked one by one.

The captain of the knight battalion, Wei Chaoqun, and the deputy captain Yode also rushed over with the team, watching the captain of the berserker knight battalion act irritably, the young captain of the knight battalion did not say a word, turned over and dismounted a few steps away from Daqingshan, and strode to the first deputy head of the small mercenary group, regardless of his armor, he fell to the ground with a bang, and knocked his head with a bang...... The bluestone slab in front of Daqingshan's eyes immediately turned red, and tears the size of beans scattered from the noble heads of the descendants of the Chi family, and made a crisp sound on the ice and snow ground.

The Wei family has been the general of Chimen since 500 years ago, and has the title of hereditary baron in the territory of Tongyunguan. On the afternoon of the day when he received the bones and armor of his eldest brother, the 18-year-old second son put on the armor left by his brother and quickly whipped up to report to the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and a year later, the second son of the Wei family died in battle, and on the same day that the news of his death was delivered to the family, the youngest son of the head of the family, the 15-year-old third son, put on the armor left by the two elder brothers, and a group of Tongyunguan nobles of the same age sang the song of the Black Dragon Knights loudly, and left home without hesitation. Four years later, Ikeda returned from the expedition, and at the age of 19, the third elder of the Wei family was already the captain of the knight brigade of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and officially enjoyed the hereditary title of count of the Empire.

However, the Wei family did not leave the Chimen because of this, and for 500 years, the Wei family has been serving the Chi family as a retainer and has never crossed the line. More than ten years ago, Chi Hanfeng, who was assigned to serve in southern Xinjiang, did not like to stay with his father in Tongyunguan Chifu, and the most willing place to go was the Wei family, which enjoyed the title of earl, at that time, Wei Chaoqun, the third youngest son of the Wei family, was only 2 years old, and he liked Uncle Chi the most because he came from the imperial capital and had countless toys on his body.

When the small mercenary group officially established the knight unit, Wei Chaoqun, just like the predecessors of the Wei family for more than ten generations, resolutely gave up his future in the military, retired as the captain of the Black Dragon Knights, and came all the way to the imperial capital to sign up as an ordinary member of the small mercenary group.

Looking at his captain knocking and kowtowing, hundreds of knights all jumped off their horses, and most of the young families who were able to join the knight battalion of the small mercenary group had some inseparable ties with Chi Hanfeng or Amy and others, and more than eighty percent of them were either from the Tongyunguan War Zone in Southern Xinjiang or from the Frozen Continent......

"Deputy Commander, let's go!" Several knight battalion cadres surrounded by many young knights had just finished these few words, and as soon as Da Qingshan's eyes went, one after another white hairpins on their heads, the young men who were imperial noble knights slowly knelt to the ground wordlessly......

Da Qingshan's eyes moistened again at this moment......
