Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 It stands to reason that Richard can now go directly back and report to King Harous, but instead of doing so, he chose to move on and explore the besieged city of Mattidoud.

The closer you get to the city of Matidao, the more Ramirez team you encounter along the way. At first Richard could kill them to eliminate the risk of exposure. However, more people were killed. His cavalry traces It was still discovered and reported to King Owicko.

　　 King Oveko looked dismissive of this cavalry squad that suddenly broke in. He arrogantly said to the officer who came to report: "It's just a bunch of annoying flies. They can't get many waves."

　　 "But they are killing the team we sent out, Your Majesty."

"Mattidout city will be captured by us soon. Leave those flies alone." Oveko pointed to the blood-stained boulder wall outside the camp and yelled at the officer displeasedly: "You Is it important to get rid of those flies or to occupy the main city of the Mafugat lord in front of you?"

"I……"

"Matidao must be taken today! This **** siege must be over today!" Oveko clenched his fists and roared, "I will spend the night in the castle in Mattidao tonight. Watching the cowardly McPherson kneel on the ground and kiss my feet!"

　　 Looking at Oveko's appearance, the officer sighed secretly in his heart, then turned and left after promising. Until now, every soldier in the camp did not believe that Mattidoud City could be captured in a short period of time. In addition to the obstacles of Jiancheng, the continuous disturbances of those mercenaries also made the soldiers even more unwilling to fight.

The war to besieged Matidaut city has lasted for half a month. The original nearly 1,000 mercenary regiment lost almost half of its soldiers. This made the head of the mercenary regiment extremely dissatisfied. He took the lead in defying the king’s combat orders several times and even gathered a crowd. There was a disturbance in the camp, but King Owicko did not take any tough measures, and could only do his best to appease them. The reason is also very simple. Without knowing when the Ravana army will arrive, if the mercenary group is angered, they may at any time cancel the contract privately, leave the war or directly accept the Ravana’s employment.

　　 This is undoubtedly an unacceptable blow to the Ramirez people who are not as powerful as Ravana.

　　 But King Owicko still doesn't pay much attention to mercenaries in his subconscious mind, otherwise he won't keep the mercenaries as a one-time consumption cannon fodder.

On the other hand, Earl MacPherson and his army who defended the city still had the confidence to defend their homeland. The tall walls built of huge rocks around the city could not be easily broken. Without heavy siege equipment such as catapults. If you want to break through this city in a short time, unless there is an insider's support, it is almost impossible. What's more, the Ramirez people only have simple siege equipment such as ladders processed from logs.

In order to make the city more solid, McPherson also asked people to demolish some of the buildings in the city and completely block the city gates, which directly prevented the enemy from entering through the city gates. Therefore, the defense pressure of the defenders was only left. With a stronger city wall, the not-so-wide city wall is like a meat grinder, strangling the lives of every Ramirez who climbed the wall.

　　 Nearly a thousand of the corpses of Ramirez soldiers have fallen under the walls of the city of Matidao, and this number is still increasing. By the afternoon sun, the Ramirez people were still climbing the city wall one after another. Although they could stand a firm foothold on the city wall after a long battle, they still could not expand the results of the battle. The same was true in the war a few days ago. When cheering and climbing on the wall, the defenders will always ruthlessly drive them all off the wall.

The Ramirez’s offensive was not without results. They at least successfully killed a large number of peasants recruited by Count Mafugat. Those peasants who had lay down their agricultural tools to perform their duties had almost no military training after they stepped onto the battlefield. They died first, because they always panicked after seeing the blood and the corpse, either standing still waiting for the enemy's butcher knife to chop off their own heads, or screaming and running around and dying by someone's sword.

The militias enlisted in the city will not have such a phenomenon. They have received elementary military training from the middle and low classes, and usually participate in the fight against bandits organized by McPherson, and they have accumulated some war experience. It is also the main force of the defenders. In addition to the militia, those self-armed knights and knight attendants are also the main combat forces. Even if they fight on walls that cannot ride on horses, the knights with excellent martial arts can exert a fighting power that is different from ordinary soldiers.

　　 It is a pity that McPherson could not be able to recruit hundreds of knights or foot knights, like Richard, who has a total war system.

Speaking of Richard, now Richard has stopped his progress. The Ramirez’s outlying forces blocked every road leading to the city~www.readwn.com~ so that he could not pass, only I heard the screams of killing from far away.

　　 Richard was not reconciled, he knew this was a good opportunity, a chance to show himself and increase his prestige. After all, the future counterattack of the Winster Kingdom cannot rely on him alone, and the help of the Ravana Kingdom is also indispensable. As long as his prestige is enough to affect the kingdom's nobles, he can draw a group of reliable foreign aid for himself.

This was a suggestion given by Kondela before he left. Thinking back to Kondela’s original words, Richard looked at the Ramirez squad guarding the road more unwillingly. In the end, his heart was stunned. , Slowly drew out his sword, and said to the people beside him: "I will send someone back to report to Condra, and then others will break through Ramirez’s perimeter defense line with me, looking for opportunities to cause some trouble for the enemy. , Who of you wants to go back and report?"

　　 "..." No one answered.

　　Richard suddenly realized their thoughts, nothing more than feeling that he was going back alone like a coward running away. Thinking of this, he casually ordered a lean General Guard Knight, and said: "It's you, don't think this is an act that violates the spirit of chivalry. Reporting to Condra is also a very important task, as long as you can succeed. Tell him our situation, he will be able to let King Haraus lead the main force to support us, understand?"

　　 "...understand." The knight was silent for a while before he whispered, and then Richard confessed a few more words to him, and together with everyone, he watched him run in the direction he was riding over.

　　 After the knight left, Richard turned his head to look at all the soldiers around him. There were 22 early generals guard knights and 60 Nordic Tomahawk cavalry who fought side by side with him, all of whom were the most elite warriors.

　　 I don’t know how many of these people will survive.
