Woo-

With the sound of the low horn, the soldiers of Richard’s Army retreated like a tide. Although they were forced to retreat due to time factors, they were still in order. They raised their shields to cover themselves and their comrades, and The corpse of the dead Robeze was taken away together.

Seeing the enemy's retreat, cheers erupted from the city walls, and everyone's faces showed the joy of the rest of their lives and the fear of the fierce battle. Although they were able to fight back with the defense of the city wall, they still suffered heavy losses under the strong attack of the enemy and fell into a bitter battle. At the beginning of the battle, they might be able to kill the climbing enemies by enclosing the top of the ladder, but at the back, they climbed from the ladder. The enemy who climbed up turned into a soldier whose whole body was almost wrapped in steel. The spears they pierced could not break through the defense of the opponent for a while, but the opponent found a flaw and broke out of the encirclement.

After the first fully armed dismounted imperial knights stepped on the wall, more and more Richard soldiers appeared on the wall. The defenders became more and more strenuous. If the reinforcements did not arrive in time, I am afraid the wall would be on the first day. Lost in the siege.

Among the discussions among the surviving defenders, the imperial cavalry on foot, who were all wrapped in steel, undoubtedly accounted for the bulk. Their extremely defensive armor and powerful combat power all made the soldiers feel terrified. During the fight, the walking imperial cavalry wielded a spiked mace, and every heavy blow could take the life of a defending soldier. Many soldiers had their skulls opened by the mace, and their brains burst. Lost his life.

…

"Can we defeat the enemy outside the city?"

At night, surrounded by the fire in the barracks, the soldiers who were called up were thinking about this problem. The tragedy of the day made many of them fearful. Some of the recruits who entered the battlefield for the first time even got hysteria. There is no response to the outside world, just sitting in a corner blankly, staring at a place, muttering something that others can't hear.

Regarding the situation of the soldiers underneath, the queen and the cabinet did not know. To be precise, after the short-lived military commander Harin Dabael was cut off by a shell and died on the spot, the nobles in the Palace of Ippolito only learned about it at the beginning. After the bad news, a new commander was urgently appointed, and he no longer paid attention to the situation of the army and went to a cabinet meeting.

At the meeting, Joachim, the financial director of the family, who was already very prominent during the reign of King Alfonso, was the first to make a proposal to make peace with Richard. Although today is only the first day of the siege, it is returned through the front line. They could all feel the difficulty and fierceness of the battle, and when Richard’s bombardment, the loud noise could be heard even in the Ippolito Palace far away from the battlefield, not to mention the shells and stones. The movement caused by the close contact between the bomb and the building.

Richard’s momentum during the siege was not terrifying, and when the battle damage of the day was collected on the cabinet table, everyone was silent, whether it was Joachim who offered to make peace or the Director of Foreign Affairs Mill who strongly opposed it. Dedu couldn't speak-there was no other reason, but the loss of the battle was really shocking.

In just the first day of the siege, the army of the Kingdom of Winster, occupying the defense of the city wall, killed nearly 900 soldiers and a high-ranking nobleman, and a large number of civilians and buildings were dropped into the city by shells and stone bullets. Injured by mistake, those homeless civilians can only miserably sleep on the streets in this cold night. Only a few of the garrison soldiers died in the bombardment of artillery and catapult, and most of them died in the bloodiest melee combat. The main function of early artillery and catapult was not to kill the enemy, but to bombard. The city wall destroyed the city defense facilities, by the way, inflicted damage to enemy infantry and weakened their morale.

In fact, it is true. Under the continuous bombardment of artillery and catapults, the ancient walls of Nord City were scarred and devastated. The surface of some of the walls was also cracked by the bombardment, which would collapse after a few more bombardments. —The city gate is also bad. Although the accuracy of the early artillery was very poor, the continuous bombardment still caused damage to the city gate. A huge hole was broken in the city wall with an iron surface. See the mess inside.

All of you in the cabinet are not fools. They all know what this means. In front of Richard's army with such a sharp siege weapon, the fall of the city wall is only a matter of time. After losing the biggest support of the city wall, How can a defender whose average combat quality is far inferior to that of the enemy repel the enemy in street fighting?

"I also think that instead of holding on to this pointlessly, it is better to negotiate with Richard before the wall is breached, so as to avoid greater losses for us." The spy chief Miklos broke the calm with a loud voice. Said.

"But Richard's goal is the kingdom's throne. If we want to negotiate peace with him, we must surrender the throne and recognize him as the new king." The court priest Bronis stroked his white beard, said, at the same time A meaningful look at Queen Audrey sitting on the main seat.

Feeling the look in the court sacrificial eyes, Queen Audrey clenched the delicate handkerchief in her hands a little uneasy, and said: "Before Richard Siege, we will send envoys to the Republic of Cunha and the Principality of Lasik for help, as long as we Hold on, and reinforcements will surely arrive and drive Richard back."

"Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. We are allies with the Republic of Cunha and the Principality of Lasik. They won't just watch Richard usurp the throne." Mild echoed and contributed to the rebellion six years ago. It is very difficult for him to surrender to Richard, because he knows that once he falls into Richard's hands, he will be inhumanely abused.

As soon as he finished speaking, Miklos sneered in disdain. He looked at the queen and Mild who were still insisting on the war, and said: "Your Excellency Mild, I don’t think that the cumbersome council of the Cunha can be done in a short period of time. Through the question of sending troops to rescue, perhaps the Lasiks will send reinforcements, but do you think that the Lasiks can defeat Richard's invincible army?"

"As far as I know, Richard and his army have never had a defeat. Whether it was a war with the Ramires, the Falniks, or the recent war between His Majesty Jutian and Bandak, he was able to Win and get new reinforcements." Miklos said, standing up uncontrollably, scanning everyone present, and said with a serious expression: "Therefore, I suspect that there is a stronger one behind him. The forces support him, combined with the amazingly powerful trebuchets in Richard’s army and the mysterious sky thunder, I speculate that the forces behind him are likely to be the holy Kuyavian Empire in the north!"

"Holy Kuyavian Empire?!"

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
