Chapter 396

At least 20000 Ximan Kingdom soldiers rushed out of Jiman City, which became very serious. In terms of number, the enemy has exceeded Nord's forces, and it is still a case of double attack. Nord estimates that Ximan Kingdom has been prepared for a long time.

It is even possible that the Ximan Kingdom has made this plan before Nord has arrived at the foot of Jiman city. They ambush these light cavalry outside the city to wait for such a moment and make a strong counterattack to the enemy who is still attacking the city.

Fortunately, Nord didn't attack directly like an iron headed baby, but waited for the siege equipment to be built before he took the initiative to attack. Otherwise, Nord would be difficult to deal with this situation. 30000 soldiers of Ximan Kingdom, even if their combat effectiveness is not as strong as Nord's troops, but the current situation is very unfavorable to Nord.

Hearing the whistle and arrow shot from the nest car, Nord looked back and saw that his troops were attacked in the rear. In fact, that direction itself was in front of Nord's attack. Just in order to resist the attack of the light cavalry of the seaman kingdom in the rear, Nord turned his troops around, but in this way, the direction facing the wall became very empty.

Nord looked at the light cavalry about to collapse. Nord sighed secretly. It seemed that there was no way to win these light cavalry. Now Nord had to shrink the formation. After Nord killed a light cavalry of the Ximan kingdom with his fine iron spear, Nord immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and led the swadian Knights back to the city wall.

When seeing the enemy coming out of the city gate, Nord's soldiers also responded. First, the long-range soldiers on the nest car responded first. They caused great damage to the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom who had just rushed out of the city gate with their bows, arrows and crossbows, leaving enough reaction time for Nord's melee soldiers.

Before the soldiers of the Ximan kingdom could engage, Nord's close combat soldiers had built a simple defense formation, which failed the Ximan Kingdom's intention to attack the rear of Nord's forces. Then the light infantry of the Ximan Kingdom rushed to the front and engaged in a fierce battle with Nord's close combat team.

Now there is a large-scale battle under Jiman City, with 50000 soldiers participating. The total strength of Ximan kingdom is 30000, and Nord's forces are 20000. Nord's side fighting on both sides is somewhat passive, not to mention Nord's forces are still at a disadvantage, which makes Nord's forces have no strength to fight back at all.

In order not to let the front continue to expand, Nord had to let his troops slowly shrink the formation. Now he can only hold tight and delay time, wait for the right time to fight back, and know that the retracted fist has more strength to fight.

With the withdrawal of Nord's troops, the army of Ximan Kingdom began to advance step by step. The retreat of Nord's troops was a sign that they were about to be defeated, which greatly increased the morale of the soldiers of Ximan kingdom. They rushed to the position of Nord's troops like chicken blood.

However, after Nord's troops secured the line of defense, these howling soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom rushed up as if they had hit an iron plate and were dizzy. After Nord's troops took root in the line of defense, they were like a towering rock. I stood still under the wind and rain of the waves.

The swardia Knights led by Nord were not idle, because to maintain the mobility of the knights, Nord led the knights to cruise around the infantry front to reduce the pressure on these close combat forces. Nord's knights could not find an enemy in this battle, whether it was the light cavalry or light infantry of the Ximan Kingdom, In front of Nord's heavily armored knights, it is vulnerable.

The only problem is that the number of knights is too small. In such a large-scale battle, it can't play a decisive role at all. If Nord's number of knights can reach 1000, even if it is only 500, Nord is confident to lead the knights to disperse the enemy's formation.

The epic battle lasted for nearly a day. From sunrise to sunset, there was no victory or defeat. Even if the soldiers on both sides were very tired, neither side dared to relax, because they knew very well that once they relaxed, the end would be very miserable.

It was not until it was dark that the soldiers on both sides stopped by tacit understanding. The Ximan Kingdom suspended the attack, and Nord's troops had no strength to fight back. This was not an order issued by the commanders of both sides, but the soldiers who fought could not hold on, so they stopped by tacit understanding when it was dark.

Looking at the slowly retreating soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom, Nord took a breath, wiped the blood on his face with his already sour arm, and then ordered his soldiers to return to the camp. These soldiers dragged their tired bodies and injured comrades back to the camp.

Even if the sky has become dark, the area under the city wall is still very beautiful. The blood is as beautiful as the blood. The layers of bones are almost covered with the ground. The broken meat, limbs and arms can be seen everywhere. Finally, the night gradually erodes the terrible scene of this area.

Returning to the camp, Nord and the soldiers almost went to sleep at the end, regardless of the strong smell of blood and blood soaked clothes. However, Nord soberly told those soldiers fighting on the nest car to pay attention to the night watch before going to bed. After today's battle, Nord did not dare to underestimate the nobility and army of the Ximan kingdom.

Today's battle is a lesson for Nord. He told Nord that he would pay a price if he underestimated any enemy. Even the nobles of Ximan Kingdom, who had always shown their weakness before, would not lack the courage to break the boat at the last moment, which is a real lesson with Nord.

In the middle of the night, Nord was awakened by the night watchman. Nord, who was sore all over, immediately jumped up from his bed and looked at the soldiers who came to report like a frightened bird. After listening to the soldiers' report, Nord was silent, and then slowly walked out of the camp.

As soon as he got out of the camp, Nord saw the flames in the direction of Jiman city. Nord looked at the flames under the wall and heard countless souls wailing. The beating flames were like unwilling souls shouting at Nord. Nord's eyes showed the faces of the soldiers who fell during the day. In fact, there were Nord's own soldiers, There are also soldiers from the kingdom of seaman.

Their expressions have pain, hatred, consternation, reluctance, confusion and panic, but their faces have one thing in common, that is, their eyes reveal the last trace of nostalgia for the world.

Nord didn't know what they were thinking at the moment of death, and Nord had never experienced death, so he didn't know whether that moment was very long for them. Otherwise, how could a person have so many emotions? Nord looked at the bright fire under the city wall in the dark night sky and was silent.
