Chapter 315

The best way to capture a city is to break it from the inside, which means to attack the heart. It must be very easy if you can plot those towns. Although there are civilians who want to resist in the towns, there is not much room for Nord to play.

Now the civilians in this small town are not as many as the soldiers in the East. It is not easy to contact them. Nord doesn't know whether the civilians in the town dare to resist the soldiers in the East who slaughtered them. If they rashly send people into the city, they will be sent to death.

Even though the soldiers in the East have closed the gate of the town, the city wall in this era is not as tall as expected. Small towns like caldera basically don't have so much financial resources to build a tall city wall. Now the city wall close to five meters is estimated to cost them a lot of human and material resources.

The city wall more than four or five meters high is still difficult for Nord's troops. You know, ARU is nearly three meters tall. It's a very simple thing for Nord to send several people to sneak into the castle, but Nord doesn't know what the current situation is in the town.

If the civilians in the town can cope with internal and external cooperation, it is estimated that the town will be invincible, and Nord will not have to spend so much effort to attack from the city wall, but the biggest problem is that Nord can't contact the civilians in the town and can't send someone to ask one by one.

Now Nord has no choice but to make a tentative attack to see how capable the enemies on the wall are, and then plan how to attack the town next. Nord doesn't want to win the wall in one attack. Now he is not so urgent, but he still needs to pay attention to the casualties of his troops, It's not worth it if you let your troops lose all in order to save the civilians in Central China.

So Nord asked the spearmen to hold the siege ladder and pose as if they were about to attack the city. Just because they attracted the soldiers in the towns to their defensive positions, and then saw the heads of the soldiers in the East on the wall surging, Nord ordered the long-range troops behind the spearmen to attack.

Because it was more difficult for the archers and crossbow soldiers under the city to shoot on the city wall, Nord had to let the long-range troops come closer to the city wall, which was basically close to 100 meters, and this distance also enabled the archers opposite to be able to output to Nord's troops.

Although the archers of the Principality of Bethel are not so famous compared with the Ximan Kingdom, it does not mean that the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel have no archers. You know, they drove the unparalleled barbarians to the depths of the Amun mountains with the power of bows and arrows.

However, after so many years, most of the civilians and troops of the Principality of Bethel have forgotten this skill, or they can defeat the enemy without using bows and arrows. Compared with bows and arrows that require a long time of exercise and a lot of experience, the strong physical quality of the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel is their biggest weapon.

Just like the barbarians in the mountains who were hurried by them, the mountain people with barbarian blood were born with strong combat effectiveness. Although they could not be compared with those barbarians who were close to three meters tall, the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel who were generally close to two meters tall never lost the battle with the Ximan kingdom.

Unless the disadvantage of the number of people is very exaggerated, even if the enemy is close to twice, the troops of the Principality of Bethel have no chance of winning. For this reason, there are fewer and fewer archers in the troops of the Principality of Bethel. If not for the archers, the troops have a very strong strategic value, each Lord will cultivate some private soldiers in his family, It is estimated that the archers of the Principality of Bethel will lose their inheritance.

This is also a very interesting thing. At the beginning, the mountain people of the Principality of Bethel drove their bullies to the depths of the Amun mountains with bows and arrows, but now they forget this craft. Instead, they were picked up by the Ximan kingdom. The soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom used the power of bows and arrows to make up for their physical deficiencies, just as the mountain people resisted the barbarians in those years.

This is the true portrayal that the descendants of dragon slaying warriors will become dragons. The original mountain people certainly did not expect that their descendants would bully other civilians like barbarians. Although a large part of the annual war in Bethel principality is due to food shortage, they want to snatch survival rations from the rich Ximan kingdom, But this is definitely not a reason to kill innocent civilians.

Nord guessed that at first, the Principality of Bethel might really want to rob food from the Ximan Kingdom, but the development of the war must not be as people want, especially the nobles of the Principality of Bethel don't take human life seriously, and their troops don't have serious discipline.

Later, the war caused more and more harm to the civilians of the Ximan kingdom. The last one was out of control. No one would take the civilians of the Ximan Kingdom seriously and regard the annual war as a feast of killing and looting.

In the face of the forces of Bethel principality, the Ximan kingdom can only defend according to the city, so as to develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, give full play to their long-range bow and arrow advantages and avoid their physical weaknesses. As for those villages outside, the Lords of the Ximan kingdom can only hope that they will seek more blessings from themselves.

During the years of fighting with the Ximan Kingdom, the enemy's archers also made the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel suffer. I don't know when to start. Before each battle with the Ximan Kingdom, each soldier of the Principality of Bethel will use the surrounding trees to make a simple shield for themselves, and then throw away the shield at the end of the war every year.

As long as there are soldiers making shields in the Principality of Bethel, the annual war will begin, which may be related to their obsession with their physical advantages. The soldiers of the Principality of Bethel would rather work hard to make shields every year than pick up their lost bow and arrow technology.

Therefore, the bows and arrows skills of the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel may not be as powerful as those hunters who often hunt in the mountains and forests. Every soldier of the Principality of Bethel thinks that using bows and arrows is a very cowardly thing. Only those who are not confident in their own body will use bows and arrows. Therefore, being assigned to the archer team means that they are humiliated.

A real man should fight with his fist to fight with his flesh. Just like the cowards of the Ximan Kingdom they despise, he will hide in a turtle shell and shoot arrows outside the city. This is also the custom formed when I don't know. Maybe it's the time when the soldiers of the Principality of Bethel are slaughtering the villagers of the Ximan Kingdom who have no resistance.

This arrogant atmosphere has caused a serious lack of combat effectiveness of the archers of the Principality of Bethel, so Nord's original vehicle troops can take advantage again and again, bringing great lethality to the nobles and soldiers who despise archers.

Nord estimates that up to now, at least thousands of enemies have died under the bow and arrow. In Nord's hand, the Archer has proved that no matter what era, the arms with strong range are the absolute output core. Perhaps only the king arms in the cold weapon era can cavalry compete with the archer.
