Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

At about 6:30 in the afternoon, Lothar's department had completely cleared the defenders of the outer walls of Nuremberg.

Except for a few soldiers who abandoned their weapons and fled into residential areas, more than 300 defenders only killed more than 60 people, leaving more than 30 slightly wounded and 215 prisoners.

The reason why the number of prisoners is so detailed is that Lothar changed hands and threw these abandoned pawns without much fighting will from the prison camp to the army and civilians, adding to his own ambitions.

I have to be more familiar with the power in my hands.

In other words, after a battle, the casualties of the enemy are 20-30%, which is a very low percentage on the defensive side. And Lothar’s loss was not great. There were only 19 soldiers who died in the battle, and they were all private soldiers of other lords. System soldiers with sufficient combat experience (mainly with good armor defenses) could only get one at most. Minor to moderate injuries, not even a serious injury loses combat effectiveness.

The total number of casualties in the end was less than 50, which is almost half of the number on the opposite side.

Although the defense of the outer city wall area is equivalent to a decoration. But taking this place meant that Lothar had stripped off the outermost "burqa" in Nuremberg, leaving only the "sturdy armor" to stay in place, ready to withstand the subsequent test.

Such an easy start was quite positive for Lothar. Not to mention, the originally sluggish morale of the lord's private soldiers who broke up the formation has immediately improved visible to the naked eye, and there is more talk and laughter between each other.

This obvious effect can be achieved, except for the sense of accomplishment that most people have only heard of a city that they have never been to, at a small price. What makes the soldiers more at ease is the systematic soldier's leading charge style and reliable combat effectiveness as an officer.

Regardless of the fact that only the private soldiers of the lord died during the siege, the private soldiers played a role of shouting 666 behind the soldiers of the system in terms of their contribution to the battle.

The reason for the high number of casualties is simply because of the terrible combat literacy.

After taking control of the outer city wall, Lothar immediately commanded the troops to advance through the city gate to the edge of the fortress near the northeast, and took over the residential area outside the fortress by the way.

As a former military fortress, a blank area of ​​about 100 meters was originally left around the castle. In the past two days, Viscount Tiest ordered the demolition of an additional building of about 100 meters. Not only does the castle leave a large area of ​​defensive space, the ruins left can also play a role in hindering the offense.

From this point of view, Viscount Tiste still has some military talents.

By the time the troops arrived at the ruins along the street, the time had come to 7 o'clock in the evening.

In early autumn, the night gradually gets longer and it is already dusk at this point. Lothar had no plans for a night battle, and simply spent some gold coins to force the residents of the surrounding courtyard to leave. Then while arranging soldiers to camp in these yards, they began to reiterate military regulations and clean up military disciplines by fishing law enforcement.

Lothar originally thought that Nuremberg is the territory of Viscount Tiest after all. Maybe they will make some arrangements among the residents, taking advantage of Lothar’s stationing in the city, deducting the chance that the strength of the troops after garrisoning the wall and the city’s martial law is not much different. , Provoked the riots and launched a counterattack or something, and also made preparations to draw out the castle defenders.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because I didn't have this awareness or was too cautious. One night passed. Although the people on the castle changed their defenses frequently, they did not intend to go out of the castle to attack. The two sides spent the first night peacefully.

The failure of the first game of chess did not disappoint Lothar, nor did he rush to attack the castle the next day. Instead, while waiting for other troops to converge, he arranged for manpower to clean up the ruins outside the castle.

These broken bricks and shredded wood act as a disguised moat for the castle. Soldiers stepping on this area must act cautiously to prevent injury to their ankles after stepping in the air. The speed of attacking or retreating will be greatly reduced as a result.

The reduced speed of action will allow the attacking soldiers to be exposed to the opponent's long-range strikes for a longer period of time. Therefore, in any case, a relatively flat attack area must be cleared out.

Fortunately, after hiring a group of residents with force and gold coins, the speed of cleaning up these broken bricks and tiles is not slow, and half a day has already obtained enough attack sites.

During this period, the defenders on the castle didn't bother to watch ~www.readwn.com~ except for sending a general to accuse Lothar of "injustice", and was stunned by Hepburn. The harassment of Feather Arrows has not been interrupted, and in the later period, heavy crossbows and ballistas joined the ranks of attacking and cleaning troops.

It is a pity that these prematurely exposed "firepower points" did not pose much threat to the scattered troops, but were rewarded by Lothar's ten light trebuchets and thirty ballistas in the formation.

In the battle of offensive and defensive equipment before the official siege, it was Lothar's side that relied on more numbers and superior performance (has grown to level 12, and Anson, whose engineering has been upgraded to level 7, produced drawings and was responsible Supervision), gradually gained the upper hand. While making most of the city's defense equipment misfire, it also caused many damages to the fortress that has been continuously built.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the last team rushed to Nuremberg to meet Lothar.

So far, even though some of the unqualified militiamen have been classified as militiamen who transported supplies, the number of soldiers in Lothar's hand still reached 4,000.

This doesn't stop there. Relying on the experience gained from sweeping the surrounding territories, Lothar's commander system soldier's upper limit has been expanded again, and he is currently recruiting Fieldsway recruits at a rate of nearly a hundred every three days.

The strength of Lothar's side increased, which meant that the power contrast with Nuremberg as his opponent became more and more disparity.

According to the results of the interrogation of the prisoners in the outer city, the total number of defenders in the castle is only about 800, and about half of them are called militias.

This is already the result of the reinforcements brought by the three knights under Nuremberg.

Compared with more than 40,000 people in Nuremberg, this force is not too much. But this was already the limit at which Viscount Tiste could expand his troops, no matter how much, he couldn't even give the militia a weapon.
