828 Mecca VI
"The other party's resistance seems to be very resolute!"
Hearing the exhilarating shouts coming from the direction of Mecca, the two Nord generals on their horses glanced at each other with some surprise
"What to do, conventional psychological tactics seem to be useless!"
Crimson Erdo muttered in a low voice, according to his expectations, the defenders of Mecca City under their own psychological tactics of adding troops, if not discouraged, at least should be depressed.
7,000 to 60,000, this gap is not ordinarily large, unless the commander of the other party is a guy with extremely thick nerves, otherwise, he should have ordered the abandonment of Mecca, thousands of lives are meaninglessly sacrificed here, just to delay for a day, which will not have much impact on the entire battle situation,
According to the intelligence, the main force of the Falcon Dynasty is still resting in the north, and the battle with the Dongting people just now shows that the Vekia Falcon, which is known as the first general in the mainland, is still only focusing on the northern region, but the Varisien Legion close to the border has recently put on an aggressive posture, and seems to intend to move south.
But in front of it, there are 100,000 troops of Nord, only about 30,000 Varisian, even if the god of war is reincarnated, it is difficult to take advantage of it, but the situation in the Dorok Mountains that has been suppressed is a little bad, the Falcon Army after occupying the northern mountains of Dorok, one of the main legions, transferred the Caesar Solon Legion, one of the main legions, into the Dorok region, which is undoubtedly the same as a sharp knife, inserted into the hinterland of the Dorok,
The excellent record of the Falcon army in the northern region, and there is a lot of disagreement within the Dorok people, who have always relied on the Nord kingdom before, whether to completely lean towards the Nords and become a barrier against the Falcon Dynasty, or whether they have reservations, like Aire and several other regions in the north, only nominally become vassals of the Falcon Dynasty, in fact, more like the alliance of the Falcon Dynasty, and there is a lot of quarrel in the Dorok Council,
His Majesty Yagrolc launched such a large-scale battle at this moment, how could he not hope that he could break the Falcon Dynasty's plan to gradually encroach on the blockade with surprise troops.
Now everyone can see that the Falcon Dynasty is in full swing, not only unifying the central and northern parts of the continent, but also bringing the most courageous Kugit people in the continent under its command.
As long as there is enough time, the Falcon Dynasty, which has absolute superiority, will easily crush the Nord Kingdom that is constantly being squeezed in the south like crushing a shriveled peanut
Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to give it a go, as long as Mecca is captured, the Nord army will sweep the entire southern coast of Vekia with the main fleet attacking from the sea, and eradicate the foundation of the Falcon Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Crimson still remembers the time when he set out, when His Majesty Yagrolc personally handed over the sword to him and gave him instructions
"Crimson Erdo, your Scarlet family has been a royal warrior for generations, many times in times of crisis, for the kingdom to cut thorns, now the country is critical, the Falcon Dynasty is aggressive, not only control the central and northern parts of the continent, but also the southern sea is also under its control, I will hand over the last power of the kingdom to you, I hope you can be like the ancestors of the family, turn into an invincible Nord battle axe, and cut out a bloody road for my kingdom again!"
"Order, attack, what are you hesitating about?" a voice in his ear interrupted Crimson's thoughts,
"In any case, in the case of a disparity in strength, he still chooses to defend to the death, the other party is a respectable person!" The chestnut-haired Noras rarely showed a trace of solemnity, "Give the order to attack, and ask for mercy, it can be regarded as a kind of respect for the other party! Otherwise, the other side will look down on us Nords!"
"It seems that this can only be the case!" Crimson Erdo shook his head with a sigh, and then ordered with a solemn face, "Order, each flag regiment in a group of three, from left to right, in sequence to attack! Whoever climbs the wall of Mecca first, the first merit of this battle is his, no matter how big the loss, before sunset today, this fortress must be taken"...,
As the whole platoon of military trumpets sounded, the three Nord army columns lined up on the left side of the army formation began to advance, huge siege vehicles lined up in a row, with the roaring war drums from the dense fog of the early morning to reveal their giant-like bodies, under the siege vehicles were dense infantry queues,
Like the Falcon infantry, the Nord infantry was known for its infantry formations, and compared to the chaotic formation of porters used to fill the moat in front, the regular army in the rear appeared to be orderly and neatly lined up. The procession marched in a skirmish, rows of archers, axemen, bayonets, and shield-bearers in an orderly manner, and the dense procession almost filled the narrow tidal flats in front of the city of Mecca
"Ready!"
Seeing the black line formed by the Nords across the causeway in front, the Mecca guard Ruandi raised his hand, and the 2,000 infantry crossbows on the head of the city instantly "squeaked" on the strong bowstring, and as the raised hands fell, the crossbow arrows poured down on the heads of the Nord infantry in the front row like a continuous rainstorm.
"Assault!" shouted the Nords with their shields raised, and the porters in front threw their bags of dirt into the moat, and any of them immediately leaned against the base of the wall of the wall, waiting for the siege troops in the rear to come up
"Shoot, don't let anyone come up!" The Viqia crossbowmen at the head of the city almost didn't even save aiming, and rushed up tens of thousands of people at once, just shooting, shooting, shooting, row after row of crossbowmen took turns to shoot intensively, and the corpses of the Nord soldiers formed a ring around the city of Mecca.
But the Nord army continued to advance, rushing over the moat and rushing under the walls, but there a more terrible calamity awaited them. As usual, the rain of arrows poured down continuously, and the rolling stones that continued to fall under the city smashed them into flesh, and poured hot oil on their heads, and the walls were slippery and steep, and it was difficult to climb, and sometimes they climbed up, and a burst of swords and spears stabbed them, and men fell from a high place to the ground.
This is not the case with Mecca, which is the main city, not to mention the few small fortresses outside the city, which have a garrison of hundreds of people and only fifty or sixty people, and their duty is to guard the dead ends of the walls of the main city.
Because the Nords came too quickly, the soldiers in the fortress did not have time to evacuate.
In the face of the swarming army of tens of Nords, although the small fortress put up desperate resistance, it was still like a rock covered by the tide, and billowing smoke rose from the inside of the fortress
After an hour of fierce fighting, all the small fortresses on the periphery of Mecca were breached, all the defenders were killed, and the main force of the Nord army began to encircle Mecca.
