Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 After Richard talked with Lawrence, he realized that things were not as difficult as he thought, but more difficult.

Although out of the king’s obligation to protect the safety and interests of his vassals, Lawrence would call on the nobles of the entire kingdom to provide troops to join the war, and he would also send troops to join the war, but under the control of the Bandak faction, the royal family can provide Not much help.

　　 In other words, Richard can only rely on his own strength and a small amount of assistance to meet the Ramirez people who are besieging Luwen City.

　　 He has a headache. He originally thought that he could rely on the power of the kingdom to gain a wave of advantages, but he didn't expect that his support would be so weak, and he would have to rely on himself in the end.

Perhaps seeing Richard’s troubles, the new King Lawrence sighed and said helplessly: “I can’t help it. Bandak’s power has almost affected half of the kingdom. Like a male lion that has lost its sharp teeth, it has a terrifying appearance, but in fact there is no matching force."

"If I remember correctly, Bandak’s fief is to the west of Luwen City." Richard did not think so. He analyzed: "Once the Ramirez army breaks through Luwen City, the next step will definitely attack Kobe. Keling, if Bandak doesn't want the flames of war to ignite in his fief, he can only send troops to assist us."

"But there is another possibility." Adelaide, the military commander on the side, said: "The first possibility is that the Ramirez's goal is to retake the three countries that we occupied four years ago. The second possibility is that ..." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, and said: "The second possibility is that the Ramirez and Bandak have reached some kind of agreement. The common enemy of this agreement is us."

　　 "Bandak will reach an agreement with the Ramirez? What a joke."

Not only did Lawrence not believe it, Richard also did not believe it. In the war four years ago, Bandak’s performance was not unsightly. His military exploits proved that the Ramirez could not stand with him. , After all, it was a **** hatred.

However, the reality is that Richard, Lawrence and others were slapped fiercely. Under the lobbying of Prince Ramirez Croft, Bandak, who was coveted for the throne, had considered the throne. Almost agreed to the suggestion made by the former enemy.

The price paid for accepting this proposal is really a drop in the price of Bandak. The Ramirez did not ask him to openly rebel against the kingdom and assist them in the counterattack against the Kingdom of Lavana. They only asked Bandak not to send troops during the war. Intervene, and his allies will not interfere.

　　In exchange, the Ramirez people are willing to send troops to assist Bandak when Bandak launches a declared war and help him regain the throne.

After reaching a secret agreement with Croft, Bandak did not honestly observe the development of the war. He sent his cronies to contact his allies in the kingdom and asked them to mobilize the soldiers in the confinement to prepare for the war. He also mobilized all the current combatable soldiers.

　　 These are all things to follow. When Prince Ramirez Croft returned to the barracks outside Luwen, the siege was still going on. The resistance of Luwen’s defenders was beyond King Owick’s expectation. In these days of siege, although his soldiers were always They could board the city wall every time, but in the end they were basically repelled after suffering tragic casualties. A large number of soldiers died on the not-so-tall wall of Luwen City. The stone wall was like a meat grinder, strangling the soldiers from the siege.

　　 Not only was the siege army suffered heavy losses, but the defender was also suffering from attrition. Even if the soldiers under Maximilian's command adhered to the solid stone wall, the casualties caused by the soldiers when they engaged in close hand-to-hand combat with the enemies who climbed the wall still made them feel pressured by their already inferior numbers.

At the beginning of the siege, Governor Maximilian also had a group of foot feudal knights, a group of chain knights, eight groups of spear militias, and five groups of crossbow militias. However, over time, the most elite walking feudal militias Although the knights and the useless chain cavalry did not suffer casualties, the spear militia and the crossbow militia who served as the main defensive forces have suffered heavy casualties.

The most intuitive manifestation of the heavy casualties is the numbers on the battle report held by Maximilian. At the beginning of the war, there were still 896 spear militiamen who were able to participate in the war, and there are still 485 people left, including dozens of them. The severely wounded soldiers were generally sentenced to death in the Middle Ages when sanitary and medical conditions were like hell.

The total number of crossbow militiamen, initially 450, is now 302. This is because the task of the crossbow militiamen is to shoot at the enemy from a distance. Soon, they will be defeated by the enemy.

　　 Apart from the casualties of the soldiers, there is no other danger in Lu Wencheng. The food stored in the city is enough for the soldiers to hold on for hundreds of days. The crossbow militiamen also have plenty of crossbows needed for shooting. To quote from a longevity game, they can even guard the strong walls of Lu Wencheng until they die!

　　 "Offensive!"

After reaching an unreliable agreement with Bandak, which is a serious concern, ~www.readwn.com~ King Oveko relaxed, and with his order, the army besieging the city once again launched an attack on the strong walls. Attack vigorously. In addition to launching the offensive from the pontoon, some of the Ramirez troops crossed the river from a distance a few days ago and circled the other walls of Luwen City to launch an offensive.

The Ramirez people who attacked from the flat land were not only equipped with a ladder, but also a tall siege tower. The two siege towers were hurriedly built, carrying full soldiers, and slowly approaching the city wall, the defending army The shot crossbow bolts with a piercing effect failed to break through the defense of the siege tower and threatened the enemies inside, so they could only watch them approach the wall.

　　 "Prepare for battle, when the suspension bridge is lowered, immediately rush out and jump into the city wall!"

　　 Inside the siege tower, Officer Ramirez said to the nervous-looking soldiers behind him. From his trembling hand holding the sword, it can be seen that the officer was equally nervous. Soon after he finished speaking, the siege tower stopped in front of the city wall, and then the suspension bridge was lowered and smashed heavily on the wall. The Ramirez soldiers hiding in the siege tower rushed towards the city wall, but greeted them. It is not only the defending soldiers who are standing by, but also the crossbow militiamen with their fingers on the trigger!

　　 "Shoot!"

Accompanied by the screaming roar of the officer, the crossbow militiamen pulled the trigger together, and the deadly crossbow bolts were shot out immediately and flew towards the enemy who had just rushed onto the suspension bridge, listening to the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh and the painful screams of people. The first group of Ramirez soldiers on the suspension bridge suffered heavy losses immediately, either lying on the bridge and struggling painfully, or directly fell off the several-meter-high siege tower and fell heavily to the ground.

　　 The tragic siege war kicked off again!
